~NiveaI shouldn’t have said what I said, but I did and it was the truth. I’d face the consequences and nothing would happen to him. I planned on filing for a divorce but only after my sis was done with her treatment. Thomas may never agree to it, so I planned on running away with my family. I glanced at the mirror in front of me. Okay, I don’t look like I had almost had sex with somebody. Taking a deep breath, plastered on my popular fake smile, and walked into the hall. I spotted Thomas immediately and walked towards him. Slipping into his arms, I kissed him deeply so he wouldn't act up and shout at me in front of his friends. I tried pulling away but he pulled me closer, grabbing my ass before he let me go.“I’m sorry, I got lost,” I lied.“You are forgiven but only because of that kiss you gave me. We'll finish this at home,” he chuckled and continued his conversation with his friends.I was so not in the mood for him to make me sore again, so I did the only thing I knew I cou
~NiveaThere was a stage in the middle, set up with a fighting ring in front.The crowd was buzzing with excitement and as I walked slowly further in, people kept staring at me and smirking. I probably didn't fit in with the way I looked and how I was dressed. I observed some people placing bets on who would win and having discussions, and I kept hearing the name Black Gloves and people were placing huge amounts of money on him. I waited patiently for it to start and finally, the first competitor arrived. The sooner this night was over, the better. I couldn't even picture why Steve and Zane would be in a place like this and I still can’t find them. The crowd shouted as the fighter in question was introduced as Xony. He raised his gloves, turning in a circle until every inch of him was seen. There was a collective roar, and I was surprised by the sudden jolt in my stomach. It was something big, like a swell of excitement over a shared moment. It made me not feel so alone.Moments
~Zane I was silently seething, as I watched my father do things to Nivea in public. He was treating her like a prostitute and she just stood there like eye candy, giving out fake smiles. But I could see through her, she looked miserable. I couldn't believe she’d take all this bullshit from my father. He kept disrespecting her as she took it all. My eyes were trained on them and they wouldn’t waver. He was grabbing her butt and boobs, treating her like trash. Was it really worth it? The money she was after? I grabbed another cup of champagne and drank it quickly. I couldn't wait for this night to be over. I was still waiting for Steve to get back to me on a fight. I needed to let out this steam, this anger that was brewing inside of me. My eyes filled with rage when I saw my father try to place kisses on her breast. I watched as she squirmed out of his hands and his colleagues just stood there laughing and eye fucking her. I felt like going over there and beating all of them
~ZaneI knew he said that to spite me, and he succeeded in riling me up. I couldn't hold it back. I charged at him and threw blows after blows at him till he fell back down. I didn't stop then. I climbed on him and kept delivering forceful blows to his face.At some point, I kept seeing my father’s face and I just kept hitting and hitting. I felt strong arms around me trying to pull me off, but I fought it off.“Zane! It’s me you need to stop,” the person kept shouting but I couldn’t really hear. My eyes were bloodshot with anger and I just wanted to finish him off.I felt a hard blow on my cheek, and staggered back, stumbling to the ground. I looked up to see it was Steve. I looked around to see paramedics attending to Xony, his face battered and bloody. He looked lifeless.Steve shouted at me to get up and we got out of the ring, heading backstage. I pulled out the gloves and forcefully threw them against the wall.“What the fuck got into you, man? I told you to not let him get into
~NiveaI woke up feeling refreshed. Today was going to be a good day, I could feel it. I turned to my side and Thomas wasn’t in bed. My stomach did a little summersault. There were always two things involved when it came to Thomas. He either wanted to have morning sex before getting ready for work or he was going for a work trip. Since he was not in bed, I was guessing it was the latter. Just to be sure, I got out of bed, walked to his wardrobe, and opened it. Viola! Most of his expensive suits were gone. Smiling, I grabbed my phone from the table, connected it to the sound system in the restroom, and took a long refreshing shower. I was singing and dancing, basically having a full-blown concert in the room as I rampaged through my closet. I decided to dress differently to class today so I took my time getting ready. I wanted to look more classier than I used to when going to school, so I settled for a Mouawad Diamond Purse and a short black Chanel dress and threw on a pair of
~NiveaI froze.What the fuck did he just say? And in front of everyone? I gritted my teeth in anger. Of course, he would be the one to spill my secrets to everyone.“It must be weird being in the same space with her, my love,” Finny coed, crisscrossing her legs as she glared at me.No wonder they were engaged, Same bullshit character.Okay, it was time to leave. I started to shove my things into the bag but Leo stopped me from moving, “Wait Niv, what do they mean by stepmom?”“Really? Of course, she wouldn’t say anything”, Finny's voice increased which gained the attention of onlookers.“Let me fill you in. You know how Zane's Dad always has a shiny new wife? Well, she's the latest wife. How did you think she could afford that car and the designers she’s always dressed in?”Finny smirked evilly at me.``Now you know why Zane hates her,” she caressed Zane’s shoulder. “I guess she was just ashamed to tell you who she really is; nothing but a gold digger,"I finished putting my things in
~ZaneThe noise from Nivea’s room was what woke me up. It was like she was having a concert in her room, the soundproof walls couldn’t even really block it out. She was singing her heart out and she sounded happy. I was guessing it was because my father was out on a business trip. I checked my phone to see I’ve got missed calls from Finny. Jeez! Couldn't she see I didn't like her? Or did she think I'd change my mind and suddenly like her? She should get over the one-night stand we had. She kept bugging me about the dinner date I told her about, which I didn’t go through with, obviously. I'd lose my mind if I had to sit down and listen to her yap and talk trash about everyone including her friends. My ears would literally melt from all that information.I had a quick shower because I was running late, then settled for my usual black clothing, adding a beanie on my head before I headed down. I spotted Nivea looking all dressed up in designers. She was looking good but I obviously wo
~Zane It had to be Xony who sent those people to beat me up because he was the only one I had beaten up so badly. I never even visited him in the hospital but I sorted the bills. This was also not the first time I had been gang-beaten. It was one of the downsides of the job, but it was mostly from sore losers who couldn't handle being defeated and wanted to get their money back. I struggled to stand on my feet and I limped my way home. I walked in and the first thing I noticed was the darkness and quietness. Nivea was probably asleep which was a good thing. I don’t want her to see me all battered and bruised. I carefully tried to maneuver my way around the house but ended up hitting and falling on some things which I had to pick back up. I just hoped I didn’t wake her up. I also noticed my blood was dripping on my floor but I didn’t care right now, I just wanted to get to my room, clean up my bloody self, take some painkillers, and fall asleep. I kicked my room door open,
~NiveaI shook that thought out of my head. No. He couldn't do that to me. I paused. Or could he? She came again this time, and I shook my head that I wasn’t ready yet but she looked at me sadly, “My boss is literally going to kick you out if you don’t order anything,” she said bluntly.“But I am waiting for someone,” I groaned. Repeating this was getting tiring.“Girl, we both know your date is not going to show up, so you either have a wonderful meal or you leave. We need more free tables,” she gave me an intense look.I couldn't leave now, that would be so embarrassing, so I decided to just place an order. I was starting to get hungry anyways. I settled for their chicken pasta and more wine. I needed alcohol in my system to go through this. It didn’t help that I was the only single person here, the rest were all couples and they weren’t scared of going all full on PDA here.By the time I was done and had finished two bottles of wine, I accepted that it was over between us, not t
~NiveaI froze on the spot as my head reeled in what she just said. “Oh, I've got something even better,” she gushed. “You were having an affair with your husband's son, and that’s how you all ended up together. What a perfect soap opera that would be, bye," she chuckled and waved, walking away.She came here just to plant these things in my head and now her mission was accomplished because it stuck. I tried my hardest to keep up the good mood, but Zane noticed and asked what was wrong. I lied and said I was just too tired.He immediately called the driver, we said goodbye to everybody and left. We were supposed to go to the after party but he didn’t want to leave me all alone. And this was why I wanted to end this. So I wouldn't stop him from having fun and experiencing life. I didn't want to be a burden to him, so I made up my mind.On our way home, I couldn't hide it anymore. My mood was off, and my expression was screaming sadness“I know you aren’t tired, so spit it out. Did Fi
~ZaneI woke up in the hospital. I could hear voices, more like whispers, that sounded like they didn’t want to wake me up. I tried opening my eyes but it felt so heavy, so I pushed myself, fluttering my eyes open and the lights attacked me. I groaned in pain and quickly closed it back.“He is awake!” I heard Leonora’s voice, and the light became dimmer. “Water,” I croaked. My throat was so parched, I needed water badly. I turned to the side and saw my beautiful Nivea. She held up a glass of water to me, a straw in it. I sipped it greedily.“How long have I been out for?” I asked.“Just a week,” Nivea said in a low voice, as she sat on the chair close to me.“A week!”, I shot up but there were different machines attached to my body so I couldn't sit up fully.“Slow down Zane,” she warned.“What about the case? Was Thomas caught?” he couldn’t have escaped after all the work I and Steve put into getting the evidence.“We moved the hearing till when you have fully recovered,” She strai
~ZaneI paced the room, breathing hard, “They searched her and probably left it here,”I couldn't lose her.“How about the plate numbers you were tracking?” I asked Steve. “Smart ass, they changed cars, and we don’t know the current car’s plate number they are driving with so we can’t track them,”“Shit!” I pulled at my hair.“I’ll alert the police and see if the private investigator has found anything on her yet,” he muttered and hung up.We were back to square one. This was just a dead end. I couldn't keep lying around doing nothing while she was still missing. I kicked off the papers lying on my feet and it went flying and that was when I saw something red.I walked over and picked up the stained paper, it smelled like blood. Oh no! This only means that she was hurt. I stared closer at it, it looked like a drawing but I couldn't figure it out yet. I looked closer at it, it looked like a boat, and then it clicked. They were taking her to a port my father had. But he hardly used it
~ZaneThe color drained out of her face, “What?” she screamed. “That’s not possible,” tears welled up in her eyes instantly. “How did that happen? I just saw her enter a car and I thought you were the one who came to pick her up,” Max retreated, giving us the privacy we needed, and shut the door behind him.My problem was why she would enter a strange car freely without informing me first. Something didn’t add up.“That was clearly not me. She just called me a few minutes ago and I heard her struggling in the background before I was cut short. What type of car did she go in?” I rushed out.“A Range Rover Sport I think,” she hiccuped.“Oh God,” she sat on her bed, tears streaming down her face already. “Who would want to do that to her?’ Her hands covered her mouth.“My father," I muttered.“Why would he do that?” her face contorted with confusion, her forehead creased with frown lines. “She probably didn’t tell you the full gist but he is very dangerous. I need to leave now, we need
~NiveaI woke up and the car was still moving. This time my hands and legs were tied. Looking out the window, I couldn't see a single building, just tall trees. I couldn’t recognize this place.“Where are we?” I asked, my voice hoarse. “I need water,” I eyed the water bottle in the brown head guy’s hand. “Please…”, I pleaded, coughing so hard.Whatever they put in that cloth was too harsh and it affected my throat because I was screaming into it before I passed out.He shrugged and passed me the water. “Better drink enough because when we get to where we are going, there’s no niceness,” I quickly opened it and greedily drank from the bottle, and then I poured the rest on my face.I looked at the rope binding my hands carefully. I needed to find a way to undo them, so probably when I was all alone, I could find a way to escape. I spotted my phone lying on the floor close to the door but I needed a distraction to pick it up without them noticing.“How much do you want? I’ll double what
~NiveaI was dreading going to see Leonora. I called her a few times but she was with Steve for the weekend, so I had to wait till she was home and alone before I could talk to her. She texted me today, saying she was free.I reluctantly started getting ready to leave. I dragged my feet to the bathroom to shower, then I stood in front of my closet staring at my clothes. What outfit should I wear that would go with the theme for today, 'going to be friendless soon’?I didn't have the strength to do anything to my face. I haven't been sleeping well as I have been having terrible nightmares lately. It was either I ended up dead or Zane did and funny enough I was more scared for Zane’s life than mine. I had kind of accepted that something bad was going to happen to me before this ended.Zane noticed something was wrong every time we spoke, so I had to lie to him every time we video-called that it was all right. He pointed out my eye bags one day and since then, I have been using makeup t
~NiveaEverything was so rushed. I went home with Zane, and I gathered my whole family and we moved away from the house to a very guarded apartment. It was two times the size of our home, I was so speechless but Nova was ecstatic alongside my stepmom.I pulled Zane to the corner, “How did you get this so quickly? And how much so I can pay you back?”He scratched his head, and looked to the ground, “I own it,” he muttered.“What?” my voice raised.“I have been planning this for a while, okay? I made investments and bought houses around the world with the money I earned from wrestling, I have enough money to start my own company after I tarnished my father's. I don't want to be associated with the devil,” he grumbled.Geez! I didn’t know he had been planning this for a long time and the fact that he was this wealthy on his own.My dad was so skeptical, he kept asking why we were moving. I knew he loved our house so much, there were a lot of memories, especially with my mum, so I made su
~ZaneI was going to make sure this worked out. I was never going to lose her and since I had her on my team now, it would be easier to get any documents my father kept hidden. I kissed her nervously, my hands roaming down her body.She was so impatient this time. She reached down and positioned herself on top of me, slowly coating me with her wetness, then sank down on me, taking me in deep, and a sigh left her lips.My hands dug into her hips as her pussy walls swallowed me whole.She fluttered her eyes open, staring at me with her piercing green eyes and she maintained eye contact with me, as she went up and down on me, her lips slightly parted as she sighed. Her hands stayed on my shoulders and she bit her lower lips, a hiss of pleasure escaping her mouth. Her expressions were driving me crazy.It was so turned on, hardening even more as she got wetter and wetter. I was falling in love with the sloppy sounds we made as I drove into
