Kiara:Day three is sunny, and I want to leave the room. For two days, I’ve been inside with Zane, and it’s been good seeing movies, going to a private indoor pool, and eating, but now I want to see the beach.“I feel like going out today, plus the sun looks beautiful,” I say to Zane, who wraps his hands around me from behind, planting a kiss on my neck.“Then go outside,” he says in a gruff tone, then I tilt back a bit to see his face with his shades on.“You are still high, aren’t you?” I ask, and he scoffs, taking off his glasses.“Not really,” he squints his eyes at the morning sun as his breath fans hot under my neck.I turn around to face him with my back pressed against the balcony railings. Then he leans in to kiss my lips.“I need to pee,” I say to him, and he pulls away briefly, allowing me to leave.Then I walk back into the room and head to the bathroom to take a piss. After this, I walk out to see him laying halfway in the bed with his legs touching the floor.“Zane, I’m
Kiara:We take a walk down the front of the hotel, making our way to the back where the beach is located. There I can see a great number of people strewn around on the beach.Some people are on the sunbeds enjoying the sun, some have cold drinks in hand, and others are in the water. Everyone is busy, and it seems fun.“Yayy!” I exclaim, taking Zane’s hand like a baby in kindergarten as I rush towards the beach while he follows without objecting.Well, he has no option, so he is quiet until we get into the body of sand.“Let’s go to that spot,” I say to him, walking towards two empty sunbeds in front of the water. “We can see the sea from here,” I say to him as we get to the spot.I try to sit down when he speaks.“Or we could get into the water.”I look at him, raising my brows.“Everything was perfect before you spoke,” I say, and he chuckles. “It is not a joke, Zane,” I say, then I try to take a seat, but he grabs my hand.“Come on, just feel the water, and you’ll want to go in,” he
Kiara:“I’m here with my wife.”His words hit me hard. I try to steady my grip on the tray, as I do not want the drinks to slip and pour.“But she doesn’t have to know,” the lady says, diverting my attention from what Zane just said.“And she is here,” he says, and the lady turns around to see me.“You?” she asks, and I bring my face to a frown as Zane walks up to me to take the tray of drinks from me.“Yes, me, and I warned you!” I grit my teeth. She stands for a couple of seconds. “You are still here, because?”Her legs get moving at once, then I make my way to my bed, sitting on it in silence for a while.His wife? Did he say that to scare her away, or did he mean it? I question myself.“Kiara,” he calls out, drawing me back to reality as his hands rest on my body.I look at him, forcing a smile onto my lips.“Did I do something?” He asks, and I shake my head, grabbing the drink from him.I bring the straw to my lips, then I draw out the contents, allowing the taste of the lemon to
Kiara:Day six is me waking up to Zane tugging my hands on the bed. At first, I do not want to stand up, but his incessant bugging gets me out of bed.“It’s the sixth day, and this will be over soon. We will have our lives back, and you can live like my princess in my castle,” he says, planting a kiss on my forehead.A smile spreads across my lips as I force my eyes open.“So, tell me. What is it you want to do today?” he asks, and I yawn, throwing both arms in the air with my fists tight.“Why don’t we do something that you want to do?” I ask, and his cheeks light up with a smile as he inches close to me.I push his face away at once.“Zane!” I call out, and he shrugs. “That is not what I meant. Get your dirty thoughts away from me,” I add, then I roll to the end of the bed, pushing my feet off.I walk to the window and pull the curtains open, taking a deep breath.“Let’s take a bath,” I say to him, and he gets out of bed.We slide into our robes and take a quick bath, then we cozy u
Kiara:From the way this man speaks, I see that he isn’t tough, and what fuels his ego is the crowd around him. This makes me believe I can easily shake him down.A pool stick is given to me, and then an attendant arranges the balls on the table.“Wait,” I say before he blows the whistle, and my opponent raises a brow.“Yes? Do you want to back out now, because it isn’t too late?” he says, and I scoff.“Or are you scared that you will get your ass whooped by an actual woman who has a pussy?” I ask, and the crowd goes up with an “oooh!”He looks around, and I see he’s nervous. His fear stinks from a mile away.“We are giving you half a million, and you have nothing to give to us, so how is this a fair game?” I ask, and he chuckles.“Honey, I do not intend to make a stake because there is no way you are winning, so don’t be delusional.”He thinks the crowd will join in, but everywhere is silent, and everyone looks at him.“Sir, you’ll have to make a stake,” the attendant says. He opens
ZANE:Today is the day I have been dreading, but I know it will eventually come to pass. For the past week, I have tried to hold myself together in the best possible way. It is the worst feeling ever, but being with Kiara eases it. Yet today, I will have to make the most important move that will make or mar my life. While Kiara is in the shower preparing for her birthday dinner, I run my hands along the edges of the tiny piece of argentum bullet I recovered from the incident with Yusuf.“Is everything okay?” Kiara’s voice cuts through my thoughts, and I quickly stuff the bullet in my pocket. Then I turn around to see her standing in a towel, her body still wet.Gosh, she is breathtaking. I wish there were a way to prolong what was about to happen, but this is fate.I know I have said it a million times today, but I cannot help myself; it is the only thing I can think of at the moment.“Happy birthday, baby,” I say, closing the space between us as I take her lips briefly.“Thank you,”
Zane:I feel a pang of pain flash through my chest as I watch her beautiful eyes shut. This is the second time I feel tears in my eyes, and it is all because of her. If someone had told me a day would come when I would love and care for someone more than I did for myself, I would call them a liar, but here I am on the brink of tears for this woman. With my hands gripping her tightly, I lift her in my arms, then I open the doors of the car, laying her gently in the back seat. I kiss her forehead. “As long as I am alive, no one will ever hurt you,” I say, then I slam the door shut, getting into the passenger seat. I pause for a moment, taking a deep breath, trying to get myself together before hitting the road. “You have to be a man and save the woman you love,” I say to myself as I turn on the ignition, then I grip the steering wheel hard, setting out on the road. Reaching for my pockets, I take out my phone, and I put a call across to Rufus. “I am on my way, and I hope everythin
THIRD PERSON POV:As soon as Boris gets the distress call, he makes an emergency drive to Zane’s residence. When he gets there, everywhere is awfully quiet, like someone has lost their lives. This scares him a bit, and he makes his way into the house at once, grabbing the collar of the first man he sees.“Where is my son?” he asks, panic lacing his tone.“He… he is in the sick bay,” the man stutters in fear, then Boris lets go of him.“Take me there now!” he demands, and the man nods, walking towards the stairs with Boris following behind.They make it to the second floor in no time, and he leads Boris down the hall until they reach the room where Zane is. He places a gentle knock on the door, and someone opens it. In the room, a doctor stands by Zane’s bed, checking his vitals.“You should be okay in a few days,” the doctor says, then Zane notices his father who is by the door. “I will take my leave now,” the doctor says, walking out with his bag.Boris walks as fast as he can toward
