"M....Master?" Octavia called out,sounding confused.
"Is that a question or an answer?" Khalid leaned forward and asked in a whisper and that was when it actually dawned on Octavia
He was asking her to chose a name!!
Hah! What the heck???
"You have five seconds, Octavia" he gave her ear a tiny bite and she blinked rapidly.
"I um... I think I'd go with Khalid" she finally said, her heart racing heavily.
Oh God... What if it just a test and he ends up getting mad at her???
But the truth is, she's always prefered calling him Khalid. She just liked the name right from time and loved the way it sounded on her lips.
Urgh! What is she even thinking?? It isn't a name for everyone - can never be.
"Really?" Khalid asked, his hot breath touching her neck.
If it wasn't for h
"Octavia. Hey, Octavia" Octavia had woken up to a soft voice waking her up from sleep and a hand tapping her shoulders.She mumbled some words as she opened her eyes and discovered it was Khalid. Oh."Good morning... Master" she sat up and greeted, drawing the duvet to her chest.It was really morning huh?"Yeah. You need to get ready. I wouldn't want us to be late for the meeting" Khalid said and left the bed and Octavia tried recalling what he meant.Oh...!! The meeting he'd told her about - the one that had to do with the Masters? Oh God! She was really gonna go for it?She placed her hand on her head and sighed, wishing there was a way it could be averted or something, but there wasn't.Khalid was taking our some clothes from the wardrobe and with the look of things, it's obvious he's taken his bath already.S
Octavia had expected Khalid to leave her as soon as Becca left, but surprisingly, he didn't."Why do you still call me Master, Octavia?" He asked in a whisper, his hot breath on her neck."But each time I'm inside of you, you call me Khalid"Whaaaat??. Octavia gasped at the mention of that. How can he say such words to her??? Urgh!A smile lingered on his lips as he watched the timidness on her face and slowly, he reached for the tip of her towel and started unwrapping itOctavia's tiny pink lips were partly open as she watched the movement of his hands. His left hand was still around her waist, and the made her towel fall off her body.His eyes beamed as they got welcomd by the hungry meal in front of him. Her big b00bs were well pointed out, and down those legs....they looked like they could really use a d!'ck.In a calm manner, he
Octavia gasped immediately.Whaaat??? His mother??? Khalid's mother???Her eyes went wide open in shock and disbelief.Khalid, who had thought it was not something important, flinched Immediately and turned to look at him.His brows arched, his lips tried to move, and they finally did."My mother?" He asked like it was the most unexpected thing he could ever hear.Something that was likely to be a joke."Yes, Master. She's at the field" Draco replied with a sad countenane.Somehow, he could feel the visit of Khalid's mother wouldn't go well because he's heard stories of how they don't go along in the past. Why was she suddenly there on the morning of the election?Khalid turned from the balcony completely to face Draco, although his eyes were dancing on the floor.
Octavia returned to the field and met Khalid there, his head in his palms. It was so obvious he was boiling with anger, like he could do something drastic at that moment.Slowly, she walked upto him and placed her hand on his shoulders."Khalid..." Her voice was so soothing, they made him shake a little.He touched his jaws and turned to look at her."Let's get going"' he mumbled and started walking away.Hold on...he was really going for the elections??"Khalid..." She took two steps towards him. "Are you...Are you still going for it?""No matter what happens Octavia, I'm never going to bow to that woman's will" he snapped and looked at her with so much anger, Octavia flinched."My father built the Khalid clan and named it after me, but I established it. I raised it to the to
Octavia couldn't help but feel nervous as soon as she heard those words. It was time for the elections? Finally??Oh God...! Khalid...She looked at him but as usual, he had that unflinching expression on, that expression that could give anyone the impression that he was fine. But deep down, he was prolly in pains.For the sake of God, she really hopes this guy gets to win this stuff."The Masters - only. Let's proceed" one of the men said and started walking out of the room, alongside the rest of the Masters who evacuated with them.Khalid gulped the remaining wine in his glass and looked at Octavia."You should be fine here. I'll be back" he got hold of her cheeks and kissed her, making her wonder in surprise.Was he just doing that for the books? Or he really meant it?He unlocked and walked away and as he did,
Octavia and Khalid walked out of the hall together and getting out to the balcony, they ran into Becca.She'd been standing there like she was waiting for someone; waiting for them.Khalid had wanted to damn her and just move ahead, but she made him pause when she called his name."Khalid".He stopped walking and looked at her.She looked really pale, her eyes swollen and all.Octavia stared at her, wondering if she was to give them some privacy or something.Khalid continued staring at Becca, waiting for her to speak up and she moved closer to him and did."Khalid" she called again. "I know you must be pretty mad at me and I don't blame you for that. But... I really want you to know I'm deeply sorry for what happened between us. Believe me Khalid, I never wanted to hurt you. I... I was just an
Octavia was surprised when he lifted the tip of her shirt. Huh??? What's he doing???"Hope you don't mind?" He asked with a smile.Goodness! He looked so damn cute each time he smiled as his dark eyes seem to fit the expressionHe moved her gently until her back was touching and leaning on the car. Then, he pulled the shirt upwards until it had gotten to her chest and her belly exposed."Its still looking so flat" he whispered as he placed his hand on her belly - soothingly. "The baby's still so tiny, isn't it?"Octavia could feel her tummy getting so hot as goosebumps took over her skin at his statement. Gosh! He was making her so nervous.She stared down at the floor, her lids battling and Khalid kinda liked her nervousness.He sighed and leaned closer to her, putting his hand over her head while the other still rested on her tummy.
"Your father?" Khalid repeated.Octavia could feel her breathe wavering already as she stared at him, her hands had suddenly grown cold.His back had already touched the floor as the crowd continued beating him mercilessly."Please! Please!" He cried out and coughed out blood and suddenly, his eyes found her.Right there, as he laid on the floor, inbetween the legs of the angry people, he spotted his daughter staring at him.Octavia watched him as his brows furrowed in surprise. He muttered her name and at that instance, the only words she could hear were:"You're only gonna be useless, Octavia" the memories burnt her at the back of her mind.Thar same man in front of her, was the same man that made her pass through hell. The same man that's put her in so much mess, someone else's about to die for it."Octavia!" He call
"My baby... Khalid!" She wouldn't stop whining and Khalid, being the first of it's kind, could hardly comprehend what to do.Could it be possible it was time for delivery? Then, she needed to be taken to the hospital, right?She was still standing with her legs spread apart, like she was scared to bring them together or something."Octavia...Come here. Come here" Khalid cooed as he drew closer to his chest and wrapped his hand around her."Khalid...!""Santa? Draco? Who's there??" Khalid calmed out and the door opened immediately, revealing Santa."Mast...""Get the car ready! Now!" Khalid cut him off with a command and without hesitation, Draco turned and ran off.Octavia was still whimpering, fidgetting with Khalid's shirt and suddenly, an unexplained pain like ménstrual cramps hit so
Khalid turned slightly to look at Octavia, then turned back to face the judges."Really?" He scoffed. "And did you ever stop to wonder what the reason behind her actions was?""Whatever the reason, Khalid, it doesn't matter anymore. She broke a rule and must be punished for it". Another answered."Speaking about rules..." Khalid bent his head and moved a step. "only the current leader can".Master Klaus stared at him suspiciously."If that's what you want" one of the judges replied and turned to the Next man beside him."Get Tha...""Thaddeus stopped being the acting leader the moment the elections started. His tenure's expired already and right now, we don't have a leader to pass a judgement. So... I'd suggest you move on with the coronation and give us a new leader already" his lips pushed slightly with a smirk.&
Octavia laughed hard as Khalid twirled her around in his arms. She clutched him tight, holding onto him like her life actually depended on him."Hey..." Khalid cooed and managed to put her down on her feet, then cupped her chin in his hands."You did it" Octavia muttered, staring directly into his dark eyes."You're alive"."No. You did it" replied answered with a light smile and crashed his lips on hers.It was a snogging kiss, tempestuous and breathtaking.Khalid's hands were still cupping her cheeks, while she moved here to his shoulders and held him tight.The flavors of their tongues were exchanged and when Khalid purposefully give her bottom lip a hard bite, she couldn't help but give out a light moan."Octavia..." Khalid paused the kiss and whispered into her lips."What
Octavia opened her bleary eyes on the bed, her hands fisted, and her back ache."Hey" she heard a voice call and turned her head slowly to see Sapphire sitting close to her."You're awake. How're you feeling?"Octavia arched her brows and tried recalling what had happened.Sapphire...She'd cut her wrist open, but Octavia was able to save her. And afterwards, she felt so weak and passed out."Octavia, can you hear me?" Sapphire cooed and touched her arm and Octavia forced herself to sit up.The memories of what had happened came flashing into her head; how she'd acted so crazy, attacked Master Zack...Goodness! Did she really do all that???And Khalid? Was he awake already? How would she know?Her hand went slowly to her tummy, caraasing the flat surface.
"Khalid?" One of the men called as they moved closer to him.They looked so surprised. It wasn't a dream, was it?"You're awake?"Khalid closed his eye lids shut, then opened them again. Where the hell was he?He looked around, the soft feel of the bed feeling familiar. And tbe voice he'd heard....The only thing he could feel at that moment was weakness and emptiness."Can he hear us?" One of the men asked and slowly, he turned his head to look at them.Some boys were in the room as well, holding a white sheet. Despite the fact he couldn't remember, he had this strong feeling that soemthing big had happened.How come he's alive? Because he's pretty sure he was so close to dead, if he wasn't already.He fisted his hands and forced himself to sit up, his entire body aching a lot as
Octavia stopped Immediately, turning back to look at her.Her eyes were heavy and red.Sapphire bent her head and wept more, her fingers sinking deep into her ruffled hair."I.... I had no idea" she whimpered, her voice cracking feafully."I had no idea Khalid was behind it, Octavia. All those while...I thought it was Tabitha".Octavia watched silentlyShe could recall the pains in Khalid's eyes when he narrated the story to her the previous day. The pains that'd hurt her terribly."For so many years,I harboured nothing but hatred towards him, thinking he was just like his father" Sapphire continued."And when I heard of the terrible things he's done in the clan...""Khalid didn't chose to be what he is today" Octavia cut in gruffly, taking a step closer to her."He grew
Octavia panted heavily as she ran towards the road, her right arm bleeding profusely.It'd been a rough journey getting out o the camp as she had to hurt herself trying to sneak her way out.But one thing was for sure; if they ever get to lay their hands on her, she'd definitely be dead. Definitely.What she did to Zack was totally off limits and had the death warrant. But hell! She didn't care as Khalid was more important to her at that moment.She got to the roadside and boarded a cab to her destination even if she had no fare with her."Take me to St. Thomas Street. Hurry!" She yelled at the driver who took off immediately.**Mica was lying quietly on her bed when one of her room mates rushed in with deep breaths."Mica! Mica!" She called. "Can't believe you're sleeping. Do you have any idea what your sister's been do
The rise and fall of her heavy chest was so obvious as she marched angrily towards the block.Her head wasn't straight, normalcy was very far from her at that moment.Octavia walked indefatigably to the block and met the guards outside the door."Hey; where do you think you're going?" One of them asked as he blocked her way.The lines around her eyes were so red as she glared hard at the door."I need to see Zack" she stated bluntly.If the boys were people that knew her, they'd have known her voice was sounding deadlier than it used to."You mean...Master Zack?" Another chipped in, correctibly, but Octavia didn't reply."What do you want with him?""Just let me in. Its important" she glared."You need to be specific, young lady, cause we've got no time f
The following morning...Octavia had woken up to behold two eyes staring directly at her - two dark eyes. They were eyes she was familiar with, but that morning, something was different about them.She adjusted lightly, registering the fact that she was still nãked because she'd slept that way the previous night."Khalid..." She called lightly.She couldn't understand why he was just lying and staring at her."Good morning, Master".Khalid didn't say a word but only continued with the stare and fpr a moment, Octavia cringed. Hold on; shouldn't they be getting ready for the coronation already? It should be happening shortly."How're you feeling?" He finally asked and for the first time since she met him, Octavia could detect some weakness in his tone."I'm.... I'm fine. And you, Master?" She replied, but Khalid only respo
