PamelaI left Delmundo mansion that day. I did not know how he did it but a loading truck had pulled up in front of the house. Men in moving uniform were taking my belongings into the truck and I was downstairs in the living room with Georgia.She looked sad to see me go but believed that the right thing was happening. It was better for everyone this way. Stephan was nowhere to be found but I knew that her could not bear to see me leave him again for the second time. The moving men were already done so I gave Georgia a long overdue hug."I do not know how to thank you enough, please do no miss me too much," I said to her as tears threatened to fall from my eyes."Take good care of yourself, Pamela and do not forget me too quickly," She said. I nodded and let her go. I turned to the entrance and found Minerva waiting and looking a little bit downcast."Hey, I do not like you much but still, it sucks to see you go," She said and gave me a hard pat on the back."Thank you?" I said. Miner
~DelmundoI could not bear to watch her go.I could not witness anyone leaving me again. I had sat on the sofa watching the bed that Pamela used to sleep in. A concerned Georgia, every chance she got, would come and check up on me.I could not blame her for doing so, after the whole thing with the pistol. She was checking to see if I did not have any suicidal urge which I assured her that I didn't. However, she had insisted on checking and I agreed to keep her mind at rest.It was going to be hell trying to live my life without Pamela, but I had been through one before. It was going to be a long road to healing from this pain I was feeling. I had begged frank to help me see her home safely. I was afraid that I would develop difficulties when it was actually time to free her.The next best thing that gave me some modicum of sanity was this room. Her scent was everywhere in the room and it felt like she marked her territory before she left. I took in her odors and aura as I sat. Even th
~DelmundoThis was the first time I would spill blood for someone whom I loved.The was the first time that I fought for someone instead of something. This was the first time I was fighting for a cause. For legacy, for brotherhood, for family, and as hard as it was to believe, love.I, Frank, Georgia and Pamela sat in the dining room hatching our own plan of action. Minerva had bad new."They outnumber us three to two," She said in a serious tone."What does that mean?" Pamela asked with an innocent demeanor.I stifled a laugh. "Means they outnumber us a hundred times our two hundred men in the area," Frank said."But we still have the advantage though, we know he is coming," I said."There is a way to give us a fair advantage but it will mean that one person is not joining the fight," I said."And who is that going to be?" Minerva asked, looking ready to protest if it was her."Frank, it's going to have to be you," I said."And what will I be doing, Boss, if I am not out there rippin
~PamelaI joined Georgia and the ravens in the house as the last line of defense in case the men outside fail to repel Dwayne's men. I endured many minutes of gun shots and death cries. The door was being hit with bullets but it did not penetrate through the door.I realized in terror they Stephan was out there among those flying bullet. It took all the will in my body not to run outside to Stephan. More gun shots and shouting took place outside while I stayed inside almost losing my mind at the thought of Stephan dying."We should be out there, helping," Minerva grumbled "Yet we are in here shaking in our boots, while the men have all the fun," She complained.I did not want to agree with her but she was right. However, Georgia shut her down."This is not battle of the sexes, Minerva, we all have a roll to play here and we will," She said in a stern voice.Minerva did not have any time to reply before a deafening and earth shattering explosion rocked everyone to the ground. The force
~PAMELAThe sounds of gunshots resonated in the air and I flinched.I looked up at the woman seated opposite me in horror. We were currently in a cabin, deep in the woods, far from civilization. I had found refuge in it for some days. These people had welcomed me in."What was that?" The woman asked.I could not remember her name since I kept forgetting. There was also a man with us. I could not remember his name either. I was too stuck in my own problems to care about theirs. Yet it felt wrong since these people had taken me in."I'll check it out," I muttered as I shakily got to my feet.I noticed the man come out of one of the rooms abruptly. He stopped in the corridor and gave me a questioning but worried glare. I exhaled sharply and turned to the window. I prayed and hoped deep within my heart that it was not what I was thinking.But the moment I looked out the window, my heart sank deep within my ribcage. My breathing accelerated and a sharp pain cut across my forehead. A migrai
~PAMELA~A FEW MONTHS EARLIER~I was seated on a bench outside as I prepared to eat.It was time for my lunch break after which I would go back in to start the next shift as a waitress.I enjoyed having my lunch out the back of the restaurant so that I could watch the sky and dream as I pleased."There you are! Did you think you could have your lunch without me?" A familiar voice demanded.I turned in her direction and saw Tiana, my co-worker coming to me. She was dressed in a short black dress, just like mine. It was our uniform for work.I smiled at her. "I thought your break was until the next hour. That's why I came out here alone," I explained myself.Tiana sank beside me. "It is. But I'm a rebel, so. . " She trailed and we both broke into laughter."I seriously think that you should take your job seriously. If the manager ever finds out about this, he's going to cut down your salary," I reminded her.She made a face and rolled her eyes. "People like him don't scare me. I don't c
~PAMELA"Well, I'll be damned because I am your date."My eyes went wide with shock as I glared at him. My heart skipped two beats as my brain took some time to process the information."Are you. . .Stephan Delmundo?" I demanded still too shocked to believe it.He smiled. The air of amusement had not left his face. "In flesh and blood. While you are Pamela Hallway. It appears the pictures of you have done you no justice," he stated with a smirk."What do you mean?" I demanded still too shocked to believe my eyes. But it was clear that he was my date the moment he said my full name.He leaned in closer. "I'm trying to say that you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. So cute and adorable," he told me.His words hit me hard and I was not prepared for the thousand butterflies that came alive in my stomach. All my life, no man had boldly told me that I was beautiful.All I got was that I was too thick or not thick enough. They told me skinny girls were beautiful and that I was ugly
~PAMELAI woke up alone.I jerked into a sitting position and stared around the room. Everything about it screamed luxury. From the grand circular bed to the exquisitely dimmed light bulbs above me. Even the night sky was fazed by the luxury within.There was more.Scented candles of different colors were lit and they lined the walls as well as the edges of the floor around me. Red rose petals were sprinkled on the floor and the bed I laid.This got me confused and I got out of bed immediately. That was when I noticed how light my clothes felt. I looked down to see that I was only dressed in a translucent burgundy night dress. It stopped above my thighs, extremely short for my comfort. The hands were too tiny.I realized another thing. I was completely naked under the dress.I looked around for the jacket which always came with it but there was none. Maybe I had to find an escape without the jacket.I raced to the door and tried pulling it open but it was locked. I started banging on
