MORNING.

7: 2 6 am.

Belle pulled the duvet over her shoulder, hugging it as she slept on. She decided to stretch a little before going back to sleep. Spreading her arms out and yawning, she saw the time on the electronic clock on the wall, she had not noticed that yesterday.

Widening her eyes in realization, she saw that it was already seven twenty seven in the morning.

"No no no no no." She said getting out of bed angstful about her situation. She was late again and she knew it.

Hurrying to the bathroom at first, she paused realizing that she didn't have anything to wear to work even if she showered quickly.

"Ben?!" She ran out the room and saw him sipping coffee and reading something on the laptop in front of him. He was sitting at the dining table and he was dressed in his usual apparel, having everything on him but his suit jacket which hung on another of the dining chairs.

He looked up from what he was reading when she called out his name. He thought something had happened so h

    "I'm very sorry I'm late, Mrs Johnson." Belle apologized because she knew her boss was just lying when she told Nathan that she was pre-informed by Belle about her lateness."It's fine." She heard Mrs Johnson."I know I said not to repeat my lateness the last time and now.....""It's okay, I'm not mad at you." Mrs Johnson assured her, seeing how genuinely sorry Belle was.Whether Belle was genuinely sorry or not, Laura Johnson knew she couldn't be mad at her, not after receiving a call from her superior, she wasn't ready to loose her job.Besides, she knew Belle was a nice person but she had also come to know that she(Belle) was not just a simple girl working as her assistant, she was somehow in relation with a big shot. After getting a call from her superior, Laura Johnson needed not to be told that Belle wasn't to be messed with. If she could have a superior call on her behalf, she surely had someone powerful behind her, that Laura Johnson was very sure of and she planned to keep u

    "Do you work here?" He asked the person behind Belle because he surely hadn't seen him there before. Randy didn't reply, he didn't have to, he was just here to get Belle like he was ordered by his boss."No sir, he doesn't," Belle had to answer on his behalf."He's here for me." Belle said before getting into the elevator with Randy. Nathan didn't get a chance to ask anything else as Belle had already pressed the button to close the elevator door.When they got to the ground floor, they got out of the elevator and went straight towards the front. Outside now, Belle didn't know which car was Ben's because he often used different cars so she turned to Randy for help."This way ma'am." Randy crossed the road and Belle followed."Which?" Belle asked after they had crossed through to the other side and were opposite the Crisp-tv media house building. She was asking which of the cars was Ben's so she could talk to him quickly and return upstairs."All." She heard Randy."All?" Belle saw that

    When Belle was crossing the road with Randy again, she had a smile on her face. She was happy about not having to ride with Nathan but she was smiling also because she found it funny how fast Randy had replied ‘no’ to Nathan's question."Why did you say no so fast like that?" Belle asked laughing because she found it funny but Randy didn't."I don't want to die." She heard his reply and stopped laughing."What?""Mr Larkson will kill me if I ever call his woman my girlfriend." He said lastly before opening the car door for her.Randy knee he didn't there accept it when someone called Ben's woman his. He didn't think of ever doing it with the other women who he knew his boss had spent a night or so with and he wasn't going to play with his life by doing it with Belle, not after seeing how serious his boss was with her.Belle got in and Randy closed the door before heading to the front for the driver's seat.Ben was on his phone when she got into the car and didn't look up from it, he s

    Ben had a smirk on when he noticed her biting her lips, he knew what he had done to her, he knew she wanted him badly.He went closer to her and put his hand on her exposed left thigh, rubbing on her soft skin and making her want him more by doing just that.She parted her thighs slowly, wanting him to touch in-between her legs. His smirk broadened, he just wanted to ease her by rubbing her left thigh but now that she had opened her legs, he was surely going to give her what she wanted.Letting his hand trail across her left thigh, he put his hand near her underwear and she readjusted her hips so he could have an easier access to her pussy, she really wanted his touch there. He rubbed his index and middle finger against her clit but still through her underwear like he did before and saw her bite her lips harder as she tried not to make a noise with what he just did.He shifted her underwear slowly, making way for his fingers to touch her pussy directly. He rubbed her clit now with his

    Tears started to form in Belle's eyes as she stood in front of Ben, he wasn't answering any of the questions she was asking. She wanted to know what he thought. She wanted to know if he thought she was only there for the money.Before he showed up and asked Randy to come pick her up from Mrs Johnson's office, she had talked to Brie. She told Brie that Ben wanted to know what she(Belle) would like to get from him.Brie then asked her something that made her think for some of the free time she had because Mrs Johnson wouldn't give her a task to do. Brie had asked her;"He asked what you wanted? Was that during sex?""Yes." She had told Brie."What does he think you are, a prostitute? He buys you things from clothes to things of your choice and then expects you to give your body to him whenever, he must think you are cheap."Those words rang in her ears over and over again till Randy showed up. Now she was standing in this house with Ben and she was asking those same things that Brie ask

    Belle went around the bungalow, checking the room's out. It had three rooms and a master bedroom and a well equipped kitchen. After going round the rooms, she returned to the kitchen and saw Randy leaving the groceries he had gotten earlier from the store. Ben was leaning against the wall, with both his hands in his trouser pockets. He saw her and asked;"How do you like the rooms?""They are perfect." He smiled when she said that. Walking up to her, he stroke her cheeks, Belle had noticed that he enjoyed doing that. "Thanks." She hugged him making his smile expand on his lips."It's nothing." "Now to show you how spaghetti should taste like." She teased him as she went to the open kitchen.Ben walked behind her and stood by the counter, watching her as she started watching the vegetables. He decided to help out. After washing his hands in the second sink, he took out one of the knives from the wooden knife block that sat at the edge of the countertop."What are you doing?" Belle ask

    Nathan had later gone back to his office to get his jacket after Belle left with Randy. He was about to get into the elevator on the top floor when he heard Laura Johnson."Don't close the doors!" She increased her pace to the elevator since she couldn't run.Nathan waited for her and only when she got into the elevator did he push the button to close the door. It was silent inside the elevator for a while till Mrs Johnson said;"I see the way you look at my assistant.""Me?" Nathan was going to deny it but Mrs Johnson was asking him at this point, she was simply stating what she had been observing."You do remember that having or starting a relationship other than friendship is not allowed in this company right?""I do." Nathan assured her."Good for you. At least, now you have more than just one reason to avoid her.""More than one reason?""She's probably in a relationship with someone of high status, stay away from her." Laura Johnson warned. She wasn't saying Ill of Belle, she wa

    Belle knocked on the door when she got upstairs to her cousin's apartment. Brie hugged her immediately she opened the door."Is it Belle?!!" Cherry asked from where she was, in the kitchen. She couldn't see the door from there."Yeah, it is." Brie let her know as she came back inside with her cousin sister."Oh my goodness," Cherry sounded dramatic."She is in a totally different outfit today again." She sipped from the glass of juice in her hands which she had gone to get from the kitchen.Belle ignored what she said and was heading to the room, she didn't plan to tell either Brie or Cherry about the house Ben got for her. She knew they would have different opinions about it and wasn't ready for any of that.Cherry would surely be happy and congratulatory about it but Brie on the other hand would probably be unhappy that she did not heed to her(Brie's) advice about not accepting things from Ben.Belle knew that Brie was looking out for her as her family and she appreciated that but sh

    "Are you okay?" Jenna asked her when she noticed she was acting somewhat different."Yeah, it's just..." Belle stopped and sighed. "Can I tell you something?""Yes girl, I'm all ears.""Well, you see..." Belle sighed once more after sitting next to her on the sofa in the living room."I thought and thought but couldn't get Ben a good gift. He got me those cars outside and all I could get him was tickets to go see a movie with me. I realized that I couldn't even go out to see a movie with him because he's him, you know. I feel bad but I'm trying not to because he was so excited gifting me the cars.""You got him tickets?" Jenna laughed after listening to her say all she had."Yeah?""Three of his houses in city S have private cinemas in them." Jenna couldn't stop laughing."Awwww, that makes me feel worse." Belle almost sobbed."I'm sorry. It's just funny but don't stress about it. I used to feel that way years back but then I realized he really didn't care what it was I bought, he only

There were seven cars parked downstairs. She turned around to go look for him but saw him just there, he had been behind her while she counted the cars."Good morning, my queen," he told her with a smile."Good morning," she held his face and kissed his right cheek."And happy birthday," she got on her tippy toes and hugged him and felt his arms go round her waist."You're finally awake, I've been waiting and my excitement almost died while waiting." He laughed after the hug."The cars?" She didn't know how to react though he was laughing."T

    Larkson mansion.I"Aww, she has such a pretty face." Mrs Larkson said after some silent minutes of admiration.Belle looked up from her dish and smiled at the woman sitting opposite to her on the dining table. Things were great since she came by unlike all she assumed. Mrs Larkson didn't ask the many questions she assumed she had to prepare for so things were alright till she said:"My grandchildren will be so cute, I can already imagine." Belle almost choked on what she was about to swallow when Mrs Larkson blurted that out.Ben stood and filled a glass of water, rubbing Belle's back slowly while bending to speak to her as she had her head down."Water?" He proposed and she took the glass from him and took a big sip. While Belle was drinking water, Ben took the chance to give his mother a questioning look about what she just said.Belle returned the glass to him and he kept it on the table and sat back down. Mrs Larkson didn't say anything else; she didn't mean to make Belle uncomfor

    Morning, the next day."Did you think about it?" Ben leaned against the wall with both his hands in the trouser pockets as he watched Belle arrange her hair."Think about what," she dropped her hairbrush and turned to him."Please tell me you gave a thought to what I told you last night.""Be direct, we talked about quite a lot yesterday," she started to put lipstick on her lips while facing the mirror again."..." Ben scratched the back of his neck and bit his lips because he knew that she remembered what he was talking about."Alright, I'm ready." She stood up from the chair in front of the mirror."Will you drop me off at my sister's or will someone else take me?" She asked, walking past him after picking her purse and hoping he followed like she wanted but he didn't. Ben pulled her back by her waist and he did it so easily, it made her wonder if to do a weight gain diet so he couldn't do that anymore."Please?"

    "Hey man, come take a look." Belle watched as one of the men assigned to be with her called to the other after collecting her ring from her ring finger."Is it original diamond?" The man who was called asked."What do you think? Of course, it is, can't you see?" The first man held it up to the light."She's wearing a ring that's probably worth an amount I've never touched in my entire life.""Are we going to sell it?" The second man asked."We? Did you just say we? I'm the one who noticed it on her finger first...""Guys," someone came in while panting loudly."Yeah?" "I was upstairs..." The man stopped to pant for some seconds."I was upstairs, and I saw these vehicles...""Is the boss back?" The first man asked, putting the ring in his jacket pocket."I don't think so, he usually comes alone. When I said that I saw cars, I meant that there were at least seven of them.""Seven?" The second man asked."Yeah," the informant nodded."I would be far off if I had started to run when I saw th

    Richard was now being tied up in her living room while she watched alongside Ben. She was excited at first, that Ben came to her rescue then realized sooner that he came solely for Richard."What did he do?" She asked Ben but didn't get a reply. "Search for it," she heard him order instead. The men started up her stairs."Search for what?" She asked again but got no reply. She saw Ben go over to one of the sofas opposite to where Richard was tied up to take a seat. She saw a look on Ben's face that she saw the day he came by and injected her with an overdose of the drug that landed her at the hospital. It was a masked look because he seemed calm but she knew he was angry and unhappy at the same time.When she got a chance, she moved to where Richard was and decided to ask him what she asked Ben earlier, hoping for a response."What did you do, Richie?" She asked and got a glare from him that made her move back."Where is she?" Richard's eyes turned from Alex to Ben when he heard the q

    Alex was starting to get scared of Richard's presence when they heard her doorbell ring downstairs."Are you expecting someone?" He asked her."N...yes!" She lied and left him for downstairs before he could hold her back. Happily opening the door to at least be free from him, she saw Randy."Ma'am, I was sent by Mr Larkson..." Randy saw that she was in a towel and looked away immediately."Randy, thank goodness it's you." She pushed him outside and followed, closing the door behind her."Ma'am I...""Shhhh. I need you to help me okay? There's someone in there whom I am currently not very comfortable with," she started and when she saw that he was listening, she continued."I want you to act like we planned to leave together and that you came to pick me up. Can you?""I was actually sent by Mr Larkson to...""Aren't you listening to me?!" She whispered shakily."I need your help, someone broke into my house.""I'm not the police, ma'am."

    11:49 pm Cherry returned from the restroom and saw Brie seated on the bed, not sleeping. She lay on her side of the bed and pulled the blanket over herself to go back to sleep but couldn't, not when Brie was awake."You are overthinking shit again, aren't you?" She sat and joined Brie."I just have a bad feeling. It's been two days since Belle went to that wedding, I find it weird that she hasn't called or come over to tell us about what happened that day. You know how excited she gets, she should have come by to see us, you know.""Urggh, Brie, really? Is that why you are not sleeping?""Is it not a good enough reason?""No, it isn't. Get some sleep, Belle is FINE. She's probably cuddling in bed with him right now and you're here, worrying your ass over nothing.""I'll call her tomorrow morning, please remind me?""Yeah, sure. Can we return to sleeping now?""Okay." Brie rested her head on the pillows."Oh wow, that was actually easier than usual, you agree to go back to sleep. Good

    Weeks later.Late night.Alex's heels made some noise as she walked into the quiet house. It woke Richard up; he had been sitting and waiting for her till he fell asleep."You're finally back, I've been waiting for you. Why didn't you pick up your calls? The least you could have done is answer the goddamn call and let me know if you're busy, you fucking left me worried.""You didn't see my text?" Alex raised a brow."I didn't.""Well, I sent you a text to let you know that I would be visiting Doctor Dan to fix an appointment for my abortion.""What? I thought we talked about that, we're keeping the baby, aren't we?""I changed my mind," she shrugged."You changed your mind? Seriously? Tell me you're joking, Alex.""Do you see me laughing right now?
