I closed the door behind me and heard a voice, clear as day, speaking from somewhere far away.“Where have you been, my darling?”I felt a sudden shock of surprise when I heard Aiden's voice, and my eyes widened in recognition. It seemed as though the chair here in the living room had turned around on its own accord and suddenly I was looking into Aiden's face. For a moment I could hardly believe it was him after all this time, but there he was sitting before me looking as handsome as ever.“A-aiden…”He’s standing in front of me wearing nothing but a thin, white bathrobe that does nothing to detract from his intense scrutiny. His eyes, full of judgment and evaluation, travel slowly down my body, making it difficult for me not to squirm beneath his gaze. A lump appears in my throat as I follow their path and remind myself that he holds all the power here. I search desperately for something else to focus on before I become even more embarrassed under his unflinching stare.“I’m asking
He took no time to caress me, swiftly pushing his two fingers inside of me with full force.His movements were firm and unrelenting, almost as if he was trying to dominate me. I gasped in shock at the sudden invasion of my body, my skin tensing at the unexpected feeling. It was an uncomfortable sensation that I had never experienced before; a mixture between pleasure and pain. However, even despite my unrestrained surprise, there was something oddly alluring about it.“A-aiden…it hurts…please-”“Shut up, you deserve the pain you are feeling.”I bit my tongue in order to suppress the pain as he suddenly forced yet another finger into me. I squirmed and writhed, but it was of no use, his grasp on me was too strong and solid for me to break free. My body shook with is grip as I desperately tried to free myself from him, feeling every bit of anguish from his forceful touch. Tears stung my eyes and I silently cursed myself for having allowed this man access to me in the first place.“A-aid
“Good morning, darling.”I stirred from my sleep when I felt a gentle kiss pressed against my forehead and at the same time became aware of the warmth of the morning sun filtering through the windows. Groggily, I opened my eyes. Everything seemed so peaceful and all worries seemed distant.“How’s your sleep?”I slowly pivoted my head to behold Aiden's stunning smile and disheveled hair, his arresting gaze captivating me. His presence stirred something within me that I had not felt before.“I-it’s fine…”I was about to stand up straight, when Aiden rushed over and guided me. He gently embraced me and helped me sit on the bed, before pulling away. That moment is when I realized there was something off; I could not move my legs properly.“J-just hurt a little…” I whispered, looking down at my legs that’s numb.“Sorry.” Aiden breathed in my ear gently, his warm breath sending a wave of comfort through me as he reached out and softly ran the back of his hand along the side of my face.His
I am a bundle of emotions right now; fear, trepidation and excitedness bubble up inside me.It's a strange sensation that has been growing ever since I decided to join with him in the park he’s talking about. It is daunting and exhilarating at the same time, I can feel both in equal measure. There is no question that this will be difficult, but there is also an undeniable thrill as well.Though I'm doing my best to conceal my excitement for our upcoming outing, it's difficult to make sure that he does not notice. It almost feels embarrassing on my part, as I don't want him to think that I'm too eager or desperate. But at the same time, there's this unexplained anticipation bubbling inside me, an emotion so strong and irresistible. The thought of being with him brings out the joy within me and compels me to smile even when I try not to show it.“Hey, darling.”I jolted when his presence hit me suddenly like a wave, and I realized he was right here behind me. I had been so lost in my ow
Aiden's gaze lingered on my face for what felt like forever before his head gave a slight shake and a nod.His expression conveyed hesitation, but also understanding at the same time.“Where do you want to go?” he asked, his hands inside his pockets and a skeptical expression on his face. His gaze bore deep into mine, as if searching for an answer to the question.I stood there for what felt like an eternity, feeling uneasy yet unable to look away from his persistent stare. Finally he broke the eye contact, leaving me with a lingering sense of trepidation. With my mind racing from the intensity of our exchange all I could do was look around to find a place I wanted to go.“What’s that?” I inquired lightly, nudging my head towards a spot where a number of children were standing and laughing. They seemed to be deeply immersed in some kind of fabric that shapes like a cloud.“Cotton candy stall.”I gave him a quizzical look, tilting my head at an angle as if to prompt him to explain. Aid
I was speechless as I watched Aiden paddle through the water with ease, the light from the sun reflecting off of his ripples.I couldn't take my eyes off him; it was impossible not to admire Aiden as he rode on the swan boat and paddled. It almost felt like it wasn't in his very being to be there, yet he was doing it. I watched him carefully, taking in every move he made with the paddle and observed how his gaze changed from tranquil to determined with each stroke of the paddle. He appeared unconcerned by what might’ve been going through other people’s minds.“I-i’m sorry.”It’s like it's my fault for bringing him here even though it goes against his wishes. His gaze lingered on me after I uttered those words, and I could feel the weight of his judgement as he considered what I had said.“Why?” he asked.“B-because it seems like you don’t want to do this but you were forced because of me.” I whispered and I hope he heard it.Aiden was completely silent, not uttering a single syllable.
Aiden went faster and harder until there’s a little noise that sounds like clapping. I felt the sweat on my palms as they held onto his arm, my grip becoming tighter and tighter with each passing second. I bit down hard onto my bottom lip, hoping it would be enough to make him cease this activity. It felt like an torture - I could barely move or think straight in this unbearable heat. But still he continued, not listening to a single word of protest.I whimpered again and, despite the darkness ahead of me, I could make out a hint of light coming from somewhere in front of me.“A-aiden…stop-”“I won’t. You’re enjoying it, darling.”He whispered sexily in my ear, the sound of his voice igniting a fire in me. I could feel my stomach fluttering and becoming increasingly tighter with anticipation. I continued to move my hips, swaying in sync with his finger until the intense pleasure became too much and I finally let go. An incredible wave of pure bliss washed over me; the sensation was in
“What are you looking at?”I felt my chest tighten and my body become tense as Aiden's voice broke through the silence. I took a few moments to compose myself, blinking multiple times before finally looking back at him. His gaze was strong, demanding an answer but I couldn't seem to find any words.His brows furrowed into a deep, intense line as he stared at me. He was just about to turn his head around when I suddenly grabbed his hand and made him look at me.For some unknown reason, I feel a sense of dread at the thought of him finding out that Adam is here. I know that if and when he discovers this, his good mood will likely be shattered. It's not a feeling I can explain or even fully understand myself, but it's there. The thought of his face contorting in anger or disappointment makes me uneasy; this worry has been plaguing me since Adam arrived.And I don’t want that to happen.“What are you doing?”And now he stares at me with an incredulous expression, as if I'm some kind of a
I was running, desperately trying to escape the clutches of whatever danger was chasing me. I refused to turn back and look because of my fear, but could always feel the presence just behind me.My heart raced as I continued on, not knowing what would happen if they caught up. The sound of metal hitting the ground with each footstep only made matters worst as the chaser closed in on me. Desperate for a way out, I frantically searched around for a solution to escape.“You can’t escape from me!”My heart leapt when I heard her voice coming closer and I panicked, running away from the source. Just as I was about to turn around the corner, out of sight, my foot got tangled up on something on the ground causing me to trip and fall harshly onto the ground.A sharp pain shot up my leg that caused me to cry out in agony. The noise of me falling had surely alerted her of my presence.“I have warned you a thousand times already...”I slowly glanced back over my shoulder and felt my jaw drop in
Everyone was running around frantically trying their best to make sure everything would be ready in time for the upcoming event.I nervously bit my bottom lip as all of them were preoccupied with last minute tasks when suddenly, the make-up artist caught me off guard and started talking to me.“Madam, I need you to lift your gaze.”I took a deep breath, steeling myself before finally raising my eyes to meet those of the make up artist. She gestured for me to look higher, so I complied without hesitation. We had been at this for two hours already.Though I wouldn't say I'm complaining, my bottom is already becoming quite numb sitting in the same spot for such a long time. It's understandable that they have to do their jobs, but my need to stand up and move around has become ever more urgent.“It’s almost done, Madame.”I had nodded my head in agreement but the hair stylist gently restrained my head, keeping me still as she attended to every strand of my hair.I was not accustomed to be
The emergency services and police had come in order to locate my mother's remains.I found myself alone at the back of the ambulance, with a blanket draped around my shoulders to keep me warm. The paramedics had already attended to some of my injury, but it was decided that I should be taken to the hospital for a further examination, they wanted to make sure there were no internal injuries that may have gone unnoticed. As I lay there, thoughts raced through my head.I have been feeling a little lost ever since the news of my mother’s passing arrived. I take one look at the cup of coffee in my hands, but can't bring myself to take a sip. At this moment, I feel like a hollowed-out shell on the inside, completely devoid of any emotion. The realization is slowly sinking in, she's gone and nothing can be done to change that fact.The thought on my mind lingers…have I finally attained freedom? Now that she’s gone?“Darling…”I shook my head to clear the fog of my thoughts when I heard Aiden
“Leilani! Where the hell are you going?!”I didn't give Aiden a second thought when his voice cracked with frustration as he called my name. Good thing the door beside me wasn't yet locked and I was able to hurl myself from the car, sprinting in the direction of Adam where I can save him!I can’t believe Aiden! Adam gave up everything for us, placing his life on the line selflessly in order to help us out of a difficult situation.And yet, Aiden isn't willing to do the same and put their differences aside in order to save another person's life. I understand that he hold a grudge against Adam, but surely this isn't an appropriate response?We are talking about someone's life here!I heard Aiden’s shouts echoing off behind me, ordering me to turn around and come back but I refused to do so.“Mother! Stop!”When I finally laid eyes on Adam and mother, it felt like time had stopped. I had to pause for a moment to catch my breath, and when I looked at mother her gaze seemed almost venomous
It was too late.Everything came to a standstill in my mind, as if time had suddenly stopped moving and the clock had stopped ticking when I finally understood what was happening.My mother had pushed me far off of the cliff.My eyes widened, a feeling of helplessness consuming me as I stretched my arm out before me, despite knowing that there was no one who could rescue me from this situation. I felt my heart thumping so hard against my chest, memories of the events leading up to this moment all too vivid in my mind.A single tear escaped from my eye as I prayed under my breath. It was not at all what I had expected, this would end up being the way I would die. In my mind, I pictured myself alive and running away from my mother, starting a new life and living the kind of life that was meant for me - but it all turned out to be nothing more than another dream.Is this where it's all going to end? What did I possibly do to deserve such a cruel fate? Am I okay with my life ending in suc
The cold air blew in like a wild animal, biting at my delicate skin and making me shiver.Despite this, I couldn’t take my eyes off of her face, we stood so close as if no distance could separate us from each other- neither space nor time. The cliff we were standing on overlooked the city below us, its lights glowing in darkness like thousands of distant stars that had found their way home to us.I've always been aware of the fact that my mother has never had a very high opinion of me. From the moment I was born, she seemed to have a contempt for me that grew over time. Not only was I constantly being criticized by her, but she would often blame me for things even when it wasn't my fault. It seemed like no matter how hard I tried or how much effort I put into pleasing her, she would always find something to be disappointed in.I was aware of this all along, but why did I get so hurt when I heard those words come out of her mouth? When I looked into her eyes, there was no sign of regre
It was an icy night, the darkness so oppressive it felt like I could taste it.I had no idea where I was going but I knew one thing, whatever lay ahead of me had to be better than living in fear of the demons that continued to haunt my footsteps. As I ran, my breath foggy plumes visible against the moonlight, a single thought kept me going - freedom. Freedom from this nightmare that followed me wherever I went.“Leilani! You can’t live without me!”Her voice had an eerily chilling effect on me. I felt my entire body tense up, my spine becoming rigid with fear.Goosebumps rose on my skin and I trembled, feeling powerless in her presence. Refusing to turn around and face her, to risk seeing the knife she brandished threateningly in her hand, I valiantly did all that was in my power to keep my cowardice contained.I glance up from the sky, “I-i'm begging you, please help me find a way to escape from her. I need somewhere that is safe, where I can go and forget this nightmare that she has
I felt a deep, primal anger bubbling up from within me as the word cursed spilled out of my mouth. My mind struggled to contend with what I had just heard, and my eyes widened in utter disbelief.I can’t f*cking believe that f*cker. I can hardly restrain my anger, feeling the urge to throw my phone across the room. But I take a few deep breaths, trying to calm myself down and think straight.I quickly dialed my assistant’s number to uncover what Adam was really doing. I had a suspicion he knew where Leilani was and that he was trying to keep her whereabouts hidden. I could feel my anger rising, a burning sensation in the pit of my stomach as it became more evident that something fishy was going on.“Sir Villarreal, how may I be of assistance to you today?”“I want you to locate Adam Hallowes! He needs to be located as soon as possible and explore every place and lead as quickly as you can! Once he has been tracked down, contact me immediately and let me know his whereabouts!”I ended
“A-alicia, how could you?”I slowly shake my head in disbelief, studying her face for any hint of guilt or regret. It's hard to believe that someone as kind and gentle as her could be capable of such a thing…Alicia was speechless as she looked at me, unsure of what to do. Her eyes widened in fear and shock by my sudden presence. I slowly glanced down at the phone that she dropped on the floor, remembering everything that had been said during her conversation with Leilani’s mother.All of her words were clear in my mind…“How could you?”Taking a deep breath in, I slowly made my way towards her and grabbed her shoulders. As I gazed at her, she avoided my gaze and refused to look me in the eye. My heart started to race as my mind was filled with different questions.I don't want to give attention to these ideas, but the words were loud and clear enough for me to directly accuse her. It's difficult for me to accept this. This is an uncomfortable sensation - like tiny needles prodding at
