~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 care, Pamela. No one is going to stop me from having fun or living a life," she announced.I sighed at her and offered her my lunch. It was just two pieces of sandwich and a bottle of mango juice. She smiled as she accepted it, taking one piece and biting off it like she had been hungry for ages.With Tiana, I had started believing that she was always hungry. She was never satisfied."So, are you going to tell me or not?" Tiana demanded through a mouth filled with the sandwich.I furrowed my brows at her. "What do you mean?" I asked in confusionShe rolled her eyes at me as she sighed heavily. "You've been smiling all day. Your mood is topnotch and you came in all dressed up. So tell me more!" Tiana complained.I chuckled at her sometimes childish behavior. "Okay, you caught me. I have a blind date tonight," I answered in excitement.She corked her brows at me. "Blind date?" She demanded in disappointment.I nodded my head. "It's not really a blind date per se since we've been chatting for two weeks now," I explained."And you're meeting him tonight?" She demanded.I nodded at her. "I'm so excited to meet him. He just feels different from all the other guys. We were able to easily connect via text and we both like each other a lot," I blurted out.Tiana gapped at me. "You've not even met this guy and you love him already?" She demanded. "I have a bad feeling about this," she voiced out.I immediately wrapped her in a short hug. "Thank you for always looking out for me but I will be fine. You needn't worry," I assured her.Tiana only sighed in response. Eventually, our break ended and we went back to work. When we closed for the day, I changed into the emerald green dress I wore in the morning. I felt a bit confident about it. It was able to hide my thick thighs."Good luck on your blind date," Tiana called as I got into a cab. "And be careful, Pamela. If you noticed anything strange, just call me," she concluded and waved at me.I only smiled at her in response as I felt myself begin to grow nervous. I felt like chickening out and ditching the date but I talked myself into staying. I started this on my own for the first time and I had to finish it.Worst case scenario, he would reject me and I'll find someone else.The cab driver dropped me off at the cafe and I paid him. I exhaled sharply as I walked into the building. I found an empty table and sat on the chair.From here, I could easily spot all who came in and they could spot me as well. I brought out my phone and texted a simple I'm here.My phone buzzed and I checked to see that he had replied. "I'll be walking in soon," I read out loud.As if on cue, a tall man walked into the Cafe. He wore a leather jacket under a dark T-shirt and jeans. He was a brunette with hazel-brown eyes. He was the most handsome man I had seen in months. He looked like he had jumped out of a fairytale movie.All the women in the Cafe were dazed by his presence and I decided to stop myself from gawking at him. I knew he could not probably be Stephan.I had put up a picture of myself. I was not blessed with beauty like the models and movie stars. I knew that whoever would be attracted to me would be an average man.Then again, looks did not matter to me. What mattered was the fact that we got along and we cared about each other.I looked down at my phone to see if another message had come in but there was none. My date was running late and I hated lateness. It made me cranky.I looked toward the entrance just in time to see the dangerously handsome man lock gazes with me. I looked away immediately but from the corner of my eyes, I saw him begin to approach me.I wanted to scream at him to stay away, that I already had a date, or that I was not trying to seduce him or anything. Maybe he misinterpreted my look. I was not trying to get his attention.But before I could gather any courage, the handsome man sank unto a seat in front of me. I stared at him with wide eyes."Why are you here? That seat is taken," I began in a voice that I thought would be firm but came out squeaky.He smiled at me with amusement. "Well, I'll be damned because I am your date."~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
~PAMELAWhen I woke up the next morning, I was alone again.The candles had melted down, the lights could no longer have their effects due to the sunlight shimmering inside.Rose petals remained scattered around the room. My body was covered in the thick blanket that came with the bed. I looked inside and realized that I was completely naked.I gasped.My eyes went wide with shock as my intake of breath became short and heavy. My heart skipped beats without a pattern and it just hammered hard against my chest."What have I done?" I asked myself.The events that took place last started to replay in my head. From the moment Stephan walked into that cafe to the moment he had sex with me!I gasped again."We had sex! How could I be so stupid? How could I let him have his way with me? How could I let him touch me?" I cried as tears began to exit my eyes.My body began to tremble with anger. I should have listened to Tiana and not gone for the date. I should have understood that things were
PAMELAI suspected that Stephan suffered from one form of mental illness. He was brimming red hot one minute and the next he was Mount Everest cold. It kept me on edge every time he had a sudden outburst.I had accepted for now that he was beyond reasoning."There is someone I would like you to meet," Stephan said to me in that hypnotic voice I had become somewhat addicted to hearing.I wondered why he sounded so eager to introduce me to this person. Maybe it was another of his kidnapped victims whom he had also kept here against her will.The door gently opened and in walked a lady in her late forties; dressed in a black long dress with a white collar and a pair of elegant heels. She had a sophisticated air about her as she gracefully entered the room."This is Georgia, she has been with me for as long as I can remember, she will take care of all your needs," he said, introducing the friendly and attentive housekeeper standing by the door.Her warm smile immediately put me at ease. I
~PAMELAI think I pissed off Georgia because she had started acting distant and detached. It was probably due to what I suggested earlier.I realized that I may have put her in an uncomfortable position. She was right. Helping me escape would mean she was permanently out of a job.Besides, after Stephan told me about the whole background check thing, it killed my appetite. I couldn't believe they were digging into my personal life.Not only had Stephan kidnapped me, but he also stalked me. I felt a chill run down my spine as I thought about it. I doubted if his feelings for me were even genuine.I spent my time strolling through the large Mansion esque villa that belonged to my captor. I did not think Georgia was interested in showing me around after our last meeting.I gasped at the beautiful spiraling white marble staircase before me as I exited my room. I took the stairs watching my steps so as not to fall or worse.By the time I got down, the sight of the chandeliers on the wide c
DARK PUNISHMENT~PAMELAI could already picture myself coming apart from his touch as he kept on invading my personal space. My breath was shaky and my heart beating violently again in my chest."It is time for the midday meal, Master Stephan, Ms. Hallway," Georgia announced as she entered the room.I silently cursed at the head maid's interruption which surprised me because I had been cornered and needed rescue.Stephan closed his eyes and I heard him whisper angrily in a foul language. He opened his eyes and turned to leave the room. I followed after him feeling confused as to why I was angry when Georgia came in.Georgia led us to the huge dining room of Stephan's mansion and I gasped in amazement at the state in which it was decorated."I knew it," I said more to myself than to Stephan but he heard me."What did you know?" Stephan asked me with genuine curiosity."That there were going to be animal heads mounted somewhere on the walls," I answered, unnerved by the sight.There was
~PAMELAIt took time for me to recover from the throes of pervasive lust Stephan put me through. I took a deep breath as I tried to calm my nerves. I have never wanted a man so much that it made no sense.I guess there was a first time for everything. I slowly walked up the stairs to the room Stephan assigned to me and sat heavily on the bed feeling very hungry.I was hungry, but not for food. I was famished by Stephan's domineering hands and his addictive shaft. I was curious about his whereabouts but I was not eager to see him.It was late in the afternoon and the sun was bright in the sky but it was chilly indoors. I looked over at the cluster of neatly arranged boxes at the corner of the room and frowned in slight confusion.My boxes were no longer there and I panicked. I had planned to sort out my clothes before Stephan came home but now they were nowhere to be found.Georgia! It must have been her doing. Maybe she had put them somewhere while I was eating or being dominated in
~PAMELAGeorgia interrupted my amazement as she called for the evening meal. I did not realize that time had lapsed so fast. I reluctantly left the inner closet and follower Stephan out of the room.However, he could not stay and eat, something about catching up on his business. I wanted to tell him about what I heard this afternoon but I thought better of it.I did not feel like it was my place to relay the information to him. I was, however, a little scared about not telling him. I did not want to be involved in his business."Be good to Georgia, and listen to what she says," Stephan firmly said as left the house.Moments later, I heard the powerful engine of a vehicle roar to life as it sped out of the gates. I did not want to eat alone in the dining room. Besides, I would not be able to concentrate on my food.It was where Stephan had me. I begged Georgia to let me have my dinner upstairs. She understood immediately or maybe she was aware of Stephan's affairs with me.I sat on the
