~Nivea
I really needed to get used to Thomas all over again. I had to endure his random touches, abusing my body, so I drowned it all in alcohol. I kept glancing at the time, but I still hadn't heard a word from Zane.
Finally, dinner was ready. At least I would be able to sit on my own without him disturbing me, as they would be focused on the food and other things other than me.
Linda joined in serving the food, her lips pressed together and set in a hardline. She and the other maids witnessed everything Thomas did to me, how he manhandled me and flaunted me in front of his friends.
This wasn't the first time so she was pretty used to it and didn't say a word. In fact, she acted like she didn’t know me like we hadn’t talked or shared breakfast.
She placed a bowl of turkey and a champagne bottle in front of me. I picked up my plate, filled it with Alfredo Pasta, and started to dig in.
Taking the first taste, I c
~ZaneI dreaded going home but there was nothing I could do about it, I had two fight matches I couldn't miss. I had been too distant from the ring. I also had so much work waiting for me as I needed to find enough evidence to put my father away for good.I knocked softly on her door but got no response. I opened the door slowly, poked my head in, and saw her sleeping soundly on the bed. She looked so peaceful and beautiful, her face free of worry and just innocent.I’d probably see her when I was back. I’d make sure to finish up early so I was home before my Dad got home.I drove myself this time to the location but Steve wasn’t there yet, I texted him and he said he was on his way. I wondered what was keeping him. He was always earlier than I was. I quickly put on my gloves, went to the weight bag, and started warming up, trying to get into the energy.Steve came in a few minutes later with a scowl on his face. He threw hi
~NiveaAfter the shit show that went down, I couldn’t face Zane. I felt mortified that he even heard the things Ezekiel wanted from me. I felt so cheap, like a commodity for people to just use and just toss around. Like the only thing I was worth was how much people could pay to have me, just to sleep with me.I wanted to scream at everybody that I was freaking more than my body, the beauty, the curves! But they never paid attention to who I truly was, only to the physical things, which hurt me a lot.I felt like taking a knife to all those perverted bastards downstairs for all the degrading things they said to me, but I couldn't do that. I had my family to think of and protect.I was quietly nursing the bottle of champagne I stole and brought up with me, sipping directly from the bottle, the flute long forgotten as I got lost in my head.I stripped fully naked because I knew Thomas would want to have sex with me. This
~Nivea“Niv has been so off today, is she alright?” Leonora leaned closer to Zane.“I don’t know,” he mumbled.“Do you know if she had another fight with Thomas?” I froze, but then I realized Zane would never say anything.“I really don’t know,” Zane shrugged, his forehead creased.“But you live in the same house, and both of you are acting weird so something definitely happened but you just don't want to say what it is, which is fine too”, she scowled.“Leo, stop bugging him,” Steve warned but she just huffed.I came out and quickly walked out of the school. As I drove to the hospital I realized I would have to leave behind all the friends I’ve made, the only best friend I ever had, and all the progress I’ve made in school.I didn't even have the mind to tell them I was leaving, I’d rather act like a coward and just leav
~NiveaHe led me to a cute shop across the road, opening the door for me like a gentleman. The door dinged. It wasn’t loud but it was audible enough to be heard.I looked up and saw that there was a small bell hanging on top of the door to announce new customers.As soon as we walked a few steps in, an old woman, well not really old but probably in her 40s or 50s approached us. She gave me a once over, slowly looking at me carefully from head to toe. She was openly checking me out.“Hey Mia,” Alejandro called her attention.“Hi love, how’s the hospital?’ she asked. The way she switched from her stern facial expression to a soft one was baffling to me.“It’s good, how’s business? It seems it’s kinda busy,” he looked around.“It is, but nothing we can’t handle,” she replied confidently.I just stood there awkwardly while they exchanged
~NiveaThe man turned and I saw it was Thomas. He saw me but that didn’t stop him, instead he looked me dead in the eye and kept sliding in and out of my stepmom. He even had the guts to sneer at me while he kept entering her from behind.The paper bag in my hands dropped to the ground as I covered my mouth with my hands in shock. Stella turned and I saw as her eyes widened in shock when she saw me at the entrance watching them. She pushed Thomas away and grabbed a quilt to cover up. The bastard bursted out laughing at the scene.I stepped backward, walking fast back out. I could hear the footsteps of someone running after me, “Nivea wait,” she grabbed my hands but I yanked it away.“Don’t touch me with your filthy hands!” yelled at her.“I’m so sorry, you weren’t supposed to see that,” She apologized.Why the hell was she apologizing to me? She should save it for when I told my fat
~Nivea“I didn’t…She paused. “It wasn’t supposed to happen, Thomas approached me himself,”“And you couldn’t decline?” I couldn't believe she was trying to feed me flimsy excuses.“I couldn’t. He was offering to help your father pay off some debts and help his business, he told me it would be a one-time thing and that was why I agreed. Later on, he threatened me, said he would stop funding it and expose me, I couldn’t refuse,”“So you did what you pushed me to do, sacrificed yourself for family? That’s bullshit and you know it. You could have easily come to me instead, that’s just a shitty excuse,” I grunted.“Come to you? You became so closed off, we didn’t know how to approach you anymore, so I did the only thing I could do,” she defended.“No, you don’t get the chance to push the blame on me, it’s all
~ZaneI moaned and she slipped her tongue into my mouth, pushing her hands softly into my hair as I pulled her closer. I was starting to get aroused and she could feel the thickness of it on her stomach. She purred and her hands went down to stroke me and I froze.I removed her hands. I couldn't believe she wanted to have sex right now right here. I paused, thinking if this was the right thing.I didn't want to be like my dad who took advantage of vulnerable people. “I don’t think we should,” I tried stepping away but she pulled me back.“Don’t tell me how to feel. I want you, so just do it okay,” she pleaded. “I know you want me too so stop fighting it,”She slammed her lips on mine, her hands went under my shirt, and she ran her fingers all over my chest. Pulling the shirt over my head, she continued kissing me and I grabbed her and lifted her, her legs circling my waist tightly.
~Zane“What are you going to do about it?” I asked as I stroked her hair.She sighed, “I don’t know, I don’t want to be the one to break his heart, he is madly in love with her,”“But you keeping that information from your father isn’t right either, he deserves to know the truth,”“I know but not right now,” she sunk further into me. “I can’t believe she would do that to my Dad, I mean Thomas can fuck whoever he wants but he should have done it with someone else, not my father’s wife!” she said in one breath. I just allowed her to rant. It’s been heavy in her heart and she needed to let it out.“I still remember the things she said to me to make me marry Thomas. It’s for the family. What's the worst that could happen?"“What?” I sat up. “She sold you to him?” my eyes blazed with anger.“
~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
