As a feminist, marrying someone you were forced to or being an exchange for money or power was something I swore never to do.I had set my standards to be one woman that men will crave but never get.But today,I was going to break them all.I was going to change everything I had ever built and suffered for years.I took a deep breath in and released it as I stared at myself on the mirror.I didn't have a choice.I had to do this for my father.My dad was into dirty businesses and they started backfiring at him and it's not only affecting him but he says he feels like his enemies are going to come for me too .I tried to convince him that nothing would happen to me and that I'm a strong woman and that I don't need protection, but he insists.Few weeks after my convocation from college he calls me to come home for an emergency and he says that I must get married immediately.I laughed and told him that it is not in my list of things to do presently to get married and he pleads with me,
I think I dozed off for a while...but then I jerked awake when we pulled up in front of this massive gate.The gate slowly opened and we rode into this huge massive but mini estate.There were Four buildings in the place all together and each of them looked heavenly.The place had flowers and gardens all around it , it looked too beautiful to be true.Then we drove into one of the houses and alighted.I stared at the house in shock.The down part was completely glass... everything.It was a duplex and it looked extra ordinary."Welcome home", James said smiling and he helped me with my dress as we walked into the building.I walked inside and observed the place.Everything was either white, grey or gold.He had a nice taste of fashion and the furnitures and lighting looked bloody expensive.I took my time to admire the beauty of this place...it was heavily.Are you sure a heatless Mafia boss lives here?Then, a middle aged woman appeared from one of the doors."Hello Mrs Williams, thi
He was handsome.... extremely handsome.He had this hot boy aura whenever he walked and he carried himself like what he was -a freaking king.But regardless of his amazing physical appearance, he had a very bad character and his name is well spoken of.In all honesty, I was expecting to meet him all pissed up with an angry look on his face and yell out me and probably punish me for shouting at him or something.But no.. he seemed calm and the total opposite of how I imagined him to be... maybe I caught him in a good mood.James did say he had fifty shades of his personality.I went back to my room and told Sam about it and man did she scream.She asked me if he was ugly and I couldn't lie... he was too hot to even lie about.But then I told her not to freak about it too much that he was a criminal, a gangster and a Mafian, all in one.I took a shower and found some comfort clothes to wear and found Mrs Williams and asked her if she could get me some paint.. like a lot of colors.She d
I was freaking hungry as hell.I was used to going to bed without eating honestly...but maybe it was because I barely ate anything at all during the day time.I stared at the clock,it was 2:35am.I groaned and got outta bed.I got downstairs and headed to the kitchen hoping I would find at least even milk to drink . I got into the kitchen and turned on the light. I went to the fridge and it was empty.Damn it.I just remembered Mrs Williams saying that she had to go grocery shopping tomorrow.I heard someone chuckle behind me and I swiftly turned and saw Amber leaning on the door with a black tank top and some shorts, he was smirking."What?", I asked."I'm guessing your diet turned out bad?", he said dragging the diet.I rolled my eyes."No...I just need milk", I mumbled staring at the fridge."You hungry?", he asked.And I swear to God I was badly hungry.But no...I wouldn't give him the satisfaction to prove me wrong."No", I mumbled.He strolled past me and opened one of the cupbo
I decided to take James words to heart pay Amber a visit talk to him.And trust me... it's not going to be a nice sweet conversationThe next morning, I headed straight for his house office without knocking and walked in.All eyes in the room went on me and all conversations stopped.Amber was sitting behind his chair doing some paperwork, he slowly lifted his head up when he noticed his brothers stopped talking.His eyes raked my body thoroughly and I swear if eyes had powers I would have been naked by now.His stares were getting really uncomfortable,so I cleared my throat."My eyes are up here", I said and rolled my eyes.He slowly took away his stares from my body to my eyes and then gave me a questioning look.I don't know if it's me or is it that killers have to be so goddamn handsome...is it like part of their eligibilities while signing up? because dammmnnn this man is fucking hotttt.His hair is everywhere on his face and he's not making any effort to remove it, and then the
"Hey James", I said."Sorry uhh, I kinda overhead your conversation, shit that was bad", he said.I shrugged, "Well I was just taking your advice", I said with a shrug."No no no, I said talk to him about it, not yell at him Jesus Lexy no one in the universe has ever yelled at him like that, I swear not even his dad", he said."So what's he going to do? throw me out? or kill me? punish me? take me through painful torture?, I don't mind, anything to get me out of this house", I said with a shrug.He stared at me with a shocked face."You know you're a very wild lady", he said.I laughed, "I'm not, I'm just a feminist and I don't see my feminism dreams coming true if I stay in this building like this", I said."Just try not to upset Amber that much, he's really temperamental", James said."Oh my God I will so upset him till he looses it and actually send me out of here", I said heading back to my bed."Think about Martins, do you really think this whole marriage thing is going to work?
Maybe this is how I'm meant to be.Caged...Alone...And unloved.This was my destiny maybe, to be moving from one circle of danger, fear and restriction to another.I had lost everyone in my family because of this same Mafia nonsense, and now the only way to protect me is sell me into another dangerous and destructive family that'll probably lead me to suicide if I'm not careful.All I want is happiness and true freedom.But what do I get?Pain and suffering... after everything I ever went through before now this?I sighed.My door flew opened interrupting my thoughts.I jerked up from my bed."What the fuck Amber what happened to knocking?", I asked.Ever since our fight two nights ago I've done my best to avoid him and his entire family completely....well except for Mrs Williams and James."My father wants to say you", he says impatiently ignoring my comment.I froze, "What?", I asked."My father wants to see you", he repeated again."Why?", I asked."Geez I don't know Lexy, he hea
Samantha was crying the time she met me on the floor unable to do anything because I felt like I was being choked by something I could barely see."Just take me to my room, please I'll direct you", I managed to say and she carried my in her arms and headed towards the door.Immediately she opened it, Aaron was standing there."What happened to her?", he asked asked seemed like he was panicking."I don't know, she just fucken called me that she needs help, I'm supposed to be asking you that! if anything happens to my best friend I swear to God it won't be funny ", she said pissed.She and Aaron managed to get me upstairs and dropped me on my bed."Breathe Lexy, breathe. Take a deep breath in, release it, in , out, in out, in out ", she said placing her hands on my shoulder."Fuck this is bad, I'm going to call Amber", Aaron said standing up."No", I managed to choke out."I'm sorry Lexy, but he needs to see this ", he said and left the room.Sam grabbed a towel and ran to the bathroom
"Lexy", Amber called out calmly.I couldn't control it , was just flowing and flowing and I couldn't stop myself.It's been so long I felt this feeling, of being completely lost, being hopeless and unable to do anything about it."Lexy", he called again and tried touch me, I stopped him immediately."Your family has cost me nothing more than pain, tears, sorrows. My mother was killed in an accident because your father was looking for young girls and my twin sister happened to be the target, my sister was kidnapped, abused, raped, and destroyed for years. I was kidnapped and I almost died in that ship! my life never went to same way it was after that experience, my father bullied and harassed me, I find out that my twin sister had been alive all along and she has been used by them, all of them! born to be tortured all her life and die in the most painful way ever created, and I thought for one second, just one second! that I was safe with you, that you're my safe haven and you literall
"Or better still, none of you leave", he said and the door shut close behind us.Amber stepped forward."Let me make this very clear, first of all, this ship is surrounded with my men everywhere, so one wrong move and you're gone. Second of all, hand Nexy and Samantha over nicely "."And if I don't?", he asked."I don't take instructions from kids I raised, I can choose to sink this ship or I turn it into a suicide mission and bomb it and we all die here and there's no case at all, I make the rules now, I have you exactly where I want to "."That's where you're wrong ", I said, "We have you right where we want to. Have you ever thought that maybe, just maybe one of us is with a wire, or a camera, recording the whole thing and is giving the police informations about everything going on right now?", I asked.Color started draining from his face. I smirked, I've had him right where I want to, I could see the fear in him."You wouldn't, you've also said things to incriminate yourself ", h
I now understand what Aaron meant but childhood trauma, this was it, this was all it. I started moving back slowly, whimpering, I was loosing it, I was clearly loosing it. Amber held my two hands. "Lexy, Lexy look at me, none of it is real, it's not real, he can't hurt you, I'm here, I'm here", he said shaking me but I wouldn't stop. I was having a panic attack, I could feel it. I should have listened to him and stayed back. Darius was Laughing, "What is it? I mean with the way Griffin described you I thought you could handle a little trauma. Is my face that scary?", he laughed. "See this is why we kill you all while you're young, so you won't have to experience this", he said taking a sip of his wine. Amber kept on talking and hugging me so I could calm down. "He's gonna hurt me, he's gonna hurt me", I whimpered. "Lexy fucken Matthew", he said looking me dead in the eye. "No one in this entire fucken world will hurt you!". I closed my eyes and started trying to r
Mayfair.Of course it was Mayfair, that ship! it should be burnt down to ashes.Amber held my hands, "Lexy I don't think you should go in there", he said.He could see the trauma on my face. I was fighting to hide it.I shook my head."Amber my sister and my best friend is in there, I just started enjoying her company and Sam! no Amber I will never forgive myself if anything happens to any of them, I won't!"."Amber I don't think we should wait another second, let's go in there", Aaron said.He's been so worked up about all of this especially since it involves Sam.I could see worry and stress all over him."Lexy this thing is dangerous", Amber said really worried."I've been in that ship before, I survived it, I'm going in", I said firmly.He sighed and grabbed a bullet proof vest and put it on me."Don't leave my sight", he stated.I nodded."We ready?", he asked and everything nodded.Then Amber gave the signal and everyone split up on the dock except the boys, we moved in to the s
So far, things weren't going so bad; I mean, Griffen hasn't brought up anything about Amber yet. He's pleading innocent to the charges; Tiffany was called forth as a witness; she gave her experience with Mayfair, and so did I, everything, in detail! I relived that day again; Tiffany could barely hold herself; she broke down countless times while telling her story. The last witness was supposed to be Nexy, she was the main witness in all of this, she has her journal on her and very vital and delicate information that will ruin Griffen, but the judge asked that the case be adjourned because she could barely process the shit she was hearing and she denied him bail. With that, the court rose, and Griffen was taken by the police back to his cell. "He has a plan, a very dangerous one, Dad's not this quiet about downfalls, especially one that's going to end him.", Asher said behind me "It's gonna have something to do with Amber; I just know, I can feel it," Aaron said. . "We're
"Sir, your father is here to see you". I looked at Amber, Amber looked at Sam and Sam looked at me. For some reason, there was this thick tension in the atmosphere. "Bring him in", he said. "Amber", Sam said, worried, because we were literally discussing how the case was going to be like minutes before he came. "It's okay, it's my house, we're safe", he said and that bastard showed his face in Amber's office, he wasn't smiling. "Samantha?", he called out calmly but fiercely. How does he even know Sam? "You want to resurrect Mayfair's case?", he asked with mockery in his voice. I expected Sam to back down, but she didn't, "No, I want to resurrect Mayfair's case, alongside the abduction of Next and the other 12 girls you kidnapped that period and the other children that you sent as suicide bombers, all of them", she said confidentially. Griffen gave a long laugh. "You're hilarious, you know, when I heard about it, I thought you were joking; do you know how many lawyers died,
Amber had work to do and went out that day and Next had moved in with Sam. She said she's pretty uncomfortable staying with Amber and me in the same house after...you know. Pretending to be me and all, Samantha said it was alright if she stayed with her for a while.Get much information from her concerning the case.I decided to pay a visit to James.I knocked on his door, and she appeared seconds later."Hi Lexy, come in", he said in a little bit cheerful tone. This has been the happiest he's been since I got back.He had an apron on and was covered in flour."What are you doing?", I asked as I followed him into the kitchen."Well, I was trying out this new recipe that I saw online for chocolate chip cookies; I love that stuff, "he said.I nodded not wanting to ask any further."What brings you to my home?", I asked."Well, Amber went out for work stuff, and my sister stays with Sam now, so I decided to swing by so we can talk", I said, sticking my finger into the batter bowl, trying
LEXY**Amber is the sweetest husband and the world and also the sexiest, because tell me why I wake up in the morning and I'm seeing him relaxing on the wall naked looking at me and smiling like a devil."Why are you looking at me like you want to fuck me for the 100th time?", I asked.He chuckled and came over to the bed and kissed me."Just admiring what is mine", he said and then deepened the kiss.I knew where this was going, oh no I'm still badly sore from last night.I pulled away and rolled over to the other side of the bed."Stay away from me, you monsterous sex addict", I cursed.He started laughing, hard."Now that is the Lexy I know", he said."Oh come here, I know you want it, you're the one that came into the house looking like a box of sexy meat", he said coming over to the other side of the bed.True, I was horny as fuck yesterday, but that's all over now."That was yesterday, get a grip on yourself", I said rolling away again."Okay fine, I'll be a good boy, c'mon, I
I explained everything to him in details, James didn't say anything, he was just quiet.James is never quiet, he always has something to say, and he was just staring at me, his eyes held pain."Why didn't you tell me?", he asked calmly."I...I didn't know how to tell you, I was scared and confused and... and.. I talked to Lexy about it and she said I was probably bi sexual and and-""You spoke to Lexy first before telling me?", the pain in his voice when he said it, the pain in his voice."Mr. James I'm deeply sorry about all of this, it's my fault, I take full responsibility and -""You don't... you don't have to say anything Stella, really, you don't. I have nothing against you, this is a conversation between me and Asher. You can leave", he said.She gave me a worried look and then left.James couldn't even look me in the eyes again."Asher do you have any idea how much I love you? do you know the length I would go to do anything for you? to protect you? Being gay is a lot, I know
