The car had become silent after Ben started to drive again. Still resting her head on the window glass, Belle noticed that the buildings by the road sides weren't the ones she usually saw on her way home."Where are we going?" She decided to ask."My apartment." "Your apartment?" She asked, not just because he was taking her to his apartment and didn't mention it earlier but because he said ‘his apartment’. "You stay in an apartment?""Sometimes, yes.""Why?""It's quiet." She heard him say."I want to be with you alone, no disturbances." He took a turn on the road and reeled into a block where all the buildings looked the same."Here?" She asked if the apartment was around."Yes." He stopped the car in front of one of the similar buildings and got down. Belle was still looking around so she didn't see him walk over to her side. He opened the door with a smile.Belle got down from the car, still looking around. The environment was beautiful with the flower bushes lined up in equal dis
He shortened the distance between them, lifting her face by her chin to look into her eyes. A mischievous smirk took over his lips."Do you want me to fuck you?" He asked again, playing with her soft lips. Belle nodded slowly again, her knees were getting weak with his simple touch."Use your words Belle, do you want me to fuck you?" He extended his touch to her neck."Yes." She breathed out.Ben went behind her and unhooked the silver chain she had on her neck. After that, he took her petal-designed earrings off, walking over to the bedside table and leaving them with the other things there."My hands should be the only thing around your neck when I fuck you Belle." He told her in his hoarse voice, putting his palm against her throat, slowly tightening his grip. He heard her gasp when he did that but it only made him want to choke her more."Ben," she uttered through her breath when she felt his right hand tighten around her throat."Ssshhh." She heard him."I can't breathe....""You
"You are so beautiful." He had to praise her, she was beautiful.Belle again was at a point of wonder, this man just made her do a fellatio, something she swore she would never do. Maybe it was how he asked for it, he wasn't begging her to do it, he demanded it from her and she did it. She knew she enjoyed how he called her name the moment her lips touch his dick, she saw the pleasure that filled his eyes, she loved that she could make him feel like that.She grabbed on the erect and veiny dick in front of her, surprising both herself and Ben. She wanted to hear him call her name the way he did before now, she wanted that groan of satisfaction."What are you doing?" He had to ask because he knew she had never done that before."I want to do it myself." A smirk took over his lips when she said that to his hearing."Can you?""Teach me." She said In her low bedroom voice before using her tongue to trail a vein from near his balls to the tip of his dick."Belle..." She bit her lips with
Belle was still sleeping when her phone rang. With a jerk, she sat up on the bed and looked around. Ben wasn't in bed like she expected.Naked as she was, she dragged herself to the other side ont the left to get her phone which had stopped ringing from her hand purse.As soon as she got it out of her bag, it started to ring again. It was Brie. She answered the call."Belle, I just got back from work and you are not home, where are you, with Ben?" Belle's voice came through."Yeah.""Oh. Okay, will you be coming home tonight?""I don't know yet." Belle bit her lips as she answered."You don't know yet?""I will be back before Seven, probably.""Seven? Do you know what the time is?" "I don't know, six? Six thirty?""It's almost eight pm." Brie informed her."Oh.""How don't you know that, where are you?""....." Belle didn't reply, she didn't even know where she was but she knew Ben drove her here and he stayed at this place once in a while."Hello?""Don't worry, I'm safe where I am
After her shower, she wore a bathrobe and checked around the wardrobe there to know if she could see anything to wear for the night because Ben didn't seem to bother about that.The wardrobe was full of clothes, she didn't expect that he would have clothes there since he didn't stay around often. Majority of the clothes hanged in the wardrobe were just suits jackets, suit jackets which had their matching trousers hanged next to them. They were mostly black and grey suits, she could see only one blue suit there.Folded below the hanged suits were casuals like the outfit he wore. She took out one of the tops, they looked big enough for her to wear; she thought. She had to go to the tall mirror next to the wardrobe to check by holding the top over her chest. It was thigh length after she checked, good enough for her.She quickly put it on, remembering he mentioned that he had cooked. She didn't know he could cook, she wondered how he could cook when he had people to do that for him all t
"I'll order us something else to eat." He said, packing away the dishes."Is it also gonna be spaghetti?""If you want.""Yay." She said dramatically, earning a smile from him.The order came through after a little more than twenty minutes. Belle was the one to open the door and receive the food they ordered.Leaving it on the dining table, she went to the kitchen to let him know the food had arrived because he was cleaning up what remained from the horrible dish he made.She almost bumped into him because he was on his way out with two wine glasses in his hands. He wanted them to have wine."Why do you have those glasses?" She noticed them."We are going to have wine.""Wine? I can't have wine, I'm not good with wine, I get drunk easily, I told you that." She reminded him."Yes, I remember. It's why we are having a non alcoholic wine.""Oh." She said closing the kitchen door as he made his way through.They both sat at the dining table as they ate silently. Belle loved the wine they
"Yes, I had to visit home and I met with him after a long time and it ruined my night and also affected my office hours earlier today.""Why don't you...why don't like your father, is it because he's your adopted father and not your biological dad?" Belle asked what she thought could be the reason but she didn't know it was deeper than that.Ben went silent for a while, he didn't want to remember why he hated his father. He definitely didn't want to let her know why, it was too complicated for her to know about it. He couldn't tell her that the man the public thought as his adopted father was actually his biological father, he couldn't tell her that his father cheated on his wife with his biological mother and still went ahead to bring him back to be taken care of by the same woman with a lie of him(Ben) being an adopted child.When Ben didn't reply her question, she went on to tell him;"I lost both my parents at an early age, when I was still in my mother's womb actually. I don't kn
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
"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
Back in city S.Belle woke up and didn't see Ben by her side so she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to check for him but when she didn't see him, she decided to just do her morning routine of brushing her teeth and cleansing her face.After that, she decided to go to the balcony to check if he was there because lately, he was there using his laptop whenever she woke up late.She got there and didn't see him but she saw something surprising. 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?" Be didn't let her go after bringing her back to himself. His arms around
"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." Randy remained polite though he didn't believe what
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? Look, Richie, I'll be honest with you. I went out with my friends after seeing the doctor and I'm as hell as I speak so please let me just go have a good shower so I can get some sleep." She started to walk towards the stairs."You can't mak
