My eyes opened to the sound of a man yelling, I stood up and immediately fell back down to the bed, all my muscles ached, my head began to spine painfully, I tried to get up again.
“Don’t hurt yourself!.” I heard a man say, he sounded strong and authoritative.
I turned my head fast and regretted it the second I did.
“So she’s the reason you were late!!.” A man scolded.
My eyes flashed at him, it was like he saw a ghost or something. Did I look that bad??, I need a mirror now!.
The man walked towards me and sat beside the bed “Stay still or you're gonna hurt yourself more!.” He said.
The man who yelled at him was quiet like he was in shock or he was restless.
“I am Marshal, I was the one who brought you here.” He informed me.
I smiled at him as sweetly as I could. “You saved me back there thank you!.” I said with my voice cracked.
“No need I couldn’t watch a man beat up a young lady like that!.” He replied sharply.
I didn’t want my mind to wander too far, he was just a good samaritan, I smiled at him as I tried to stand up again. My knees shook but I wasn’t giving up, I stood up straight.
“You need to rest from the doctor's orders, sit I will get you a glass of water.”
‘Who the heck is he??. Why is he so nice?.’ I thought, I tried to move my head to get a proper view of the man who was standing still.
I turned my aching neck towards his direction. He didn’t move at all.
“Here, drink this!.” Marshal handed me a mug of tea? Or was it coffee?.
I led it to my nose and sniffed it, I acted like a dog or even a ‘ wolf!’ With that thought I shook my head vigorously.
“Are you okay?.”
“Hmm.”I replied as I galloped down the liquid in the mug.
Soon my eyes closed and I drifted into deep sleep.
I felt something touch me, I turned and then it touched me again, I opened my eyes to see what it was, I was shocked to see a man that I had never seen before, wait no! I know exactly who he was.
“How did you find me??!.” I asked with a not so quiet voice.
He didn’t speak a word, Instead he moved closer, too close for my liking, I moved backwards creating a healthy distance between us.
“Ahh!.” I screamed when someone grabbed my arm, my wounded arm. “What do you want!?.” I asked as I turned rigidly due to my aching muscles.
He also didn’t speak. He instantly pinned me to the ground, for a moment I knew there was a bed there but where did it go?.
He held my hands tight like he was going to break them, which made me cry in pain.
“Miss!. Miss!!.” I heard someone call,it was my savior.
“Miss!.”
I jumped up and hugged my legs. Oh it was no savior just…
“I am the room service!.” She answered my unspoken question. “Mr Marshal and Master Aiden said I should clean the room and take your order.” I listened to the girl speak in a computer-like tone, it was clear she had memorised everything.
“Okay.” I replied as I robbed my eyes. “ where are they?!.” I asked.
“I don’t know Miss, I wasn’t informed but Mr Marshal said I should let you know Master Aiden will come to get you by 4pm.”
I walked around the room. It was quite fancy, a king size bed, white walls and gold interiors. The rug looked like it could buy my entire house and everything I owned . I walked to the bathroom to wash my face, I looked horrible so I decided to have a bath. I had a quick bath and got out, I didn’t have anything to wear so I wore my old outfit. I heard a knock on the door, without waiting a second the door flung open. “Hi..” I could hear myself stammer. “Sit!.” He ordered. ‘How rude!.’ I thought but god knew I was scared of him, he was taller than me and huge. I sat quietly waiting for him to take advantage of me, tears already boiling in my eyes. I thought this wasn’t going to happen again. “What’s your name??.” “I am Alora.” I replied with my head low, I didn’t dare to make eye contact. Hookers code number one, never look the man in the eye it meant you were disrespecting him. This was my life again. “I am not hurting you!.” He sounded somewhat calm and gentle as he touched
I am Alora Thomas, as far as I can remember my life has been hell, I do remember a time my life was like a bed of roses. It was just me and my mum against the world, she took care of me and I kept a smile on her face. Well all things good has an end and mine ended too fast, I was four when Willam came into our lives. He was the sweetest, I never had a father until he came, he was everything I wished for, I could finally talk about my ‘father’ to my friends. Yes we’re just kids but we did talk a lot. My mom loved him so much and so did he. I was always the third wheel on their dates until I was eight, he began to change, he acted differently, either it was because of poor grades (B-) I couldn’t get anything lower or I didn’t clean the entire house. I didn’t have time for school, how could I when I was the slave of my own house and for some reason my mother didn’t find out. The day I tried to tell her was the day he sold me to a prostitution firm over seas. “This is where you belong,
“Alora?!.” Alora’s mother called out!. “Baby?!.” She called out and pushed Alora’s room door open. Both her and Helios Alora’s father was stunned by the sight. Alora laid on the pile of what used to be her room, it was a mess, with her under her blanket. Helios pulled the duvet off her. “Are you okay?!.” Helios asked Alora. Alora looked up at him with sharp gold eyes. Her father pulled into his arms and cradled her like a newborn. “Baby?!.” He called her. “What’s wrong?.” Alora buried her face in her fathers arms. “What’s wrong with her?!.” Winfred asked. ^^^ Alora’s POV I got a heartbreaking news from school, I couldn’t believe it! My best friend is dead!!. Shot by a hunter!. I couldn’t concentrate during my last four lessons. I was like a shell of myself, I wasn’t able to move, hear or speak. Teachers kept calling me out but I was too far away to hear them, I could still see their lips moving but I didn’t hear them, I assumed they were still blabbing about the topics of
Aiden POV. I and Marshal walked into the company building, all the staff stood from their desks, the ones already standing stopped what they were doing to greet me and Marshal, I was in too much of a hurry to answer their greetings. Myself and Marshal walked staring to my private elevator which led straight to my office which was on the eighth floor so was the conference room. Once I stepped out of the elevator I could hear the voices of the shareholders. They seemed to be having a crisis there, so I moved swiftly to the door. Marshal opened it for me and I walked in. The moment I stepped in the chatter stopped, my Aura was enough to short them up without me saying a thing. I sat at my usual seat, while Marshal sat beside me. “Shall we begin??.” I asked with a cold tone. “Yes indeed,” Mr Alfred said. “Mr Alfred I need the report on the ongoing project in India.” I demanded with my eyes on him. He seemed shaky, he flipped through the pages of his portfolio, from the first page
“I am sorry if I upset you, I just wanted to know but that’s alright if you don’t want to share it.” Aiden said. I felt guilty when I heard his sad voice “I am sorry for being that way, it’s just that I had a tough time with my family and talking about it brings back memories I want to forget but I can’t.” I answered with a wounded heart, tears rolled down my eyes as I spoke. “I understand. But can you answer just this one question?ʻ.” What did he understand and another question??, just kill me already!. I nodded without breathing. I focused on my fingernails. “What’s a Mate?.” I looked up at him, his face had no emotions that I could read. I opened my mouth but no words came out, I tried again but nothing,I inhaled and exhaled. “The person is your missing rib, that piece that you had been searching for and finally found. someone that you can’t do without.” I inhaled and held it, then I continued with images of my mom and William flashing before my eyes. “Someone you would go th
I couldn’t move my eyes from his face, it was too enchanting. He looked out of this world, he looked like he was created out of every woman’s dream man. I heard a phone ring, clearly it wasn’t mine, Aiden looked away, apparently it was his phone, he answered the call and spoke harshly. With him on the phone I could breathe freely. I inhaled and exhaled as though once he was done with the call I wouldn’t be allowed to breathe. “Meet us at the mall!.” Aiden replied to whatever the person on the other end said. “You know the one I am referring to!.” He said harshly, then hung up. I looked up at him and then quickly looked away. I felt his hand around my shoulder. I shivered when I felt like our skin was magnetic. I could tell that a jerk was staring at us through the rearview mirror, a growl erupted from Aidens chest, that made me jump and as well made that jerk stop staring. “I am sorry love.” He said with those endearments that made my heart skip a bit. I nodded at him. ‘What’s w
Alora’s POV My eyes flashed with anger when my phone hit the ground, it was definitely dead now!, I immediately pulled myself together. This was no longer high school. It was about time I thought this bitch a lesson she would never forget. “Seems you now have a sugar daddy that pays your bills, I am sure without one you wouldn’t be able to pay for anything in here!.” Linda said with her black eyes flashing at me. She has always been a pain in the neck, it was time she got a taste of her own medicine. “Are you done talking?!.” I asked her. “Actually I am sure you can’t attract a rich man to be your sugar daddy!.” Linda said with a mucking tone. I was used to her insults what she said didn’t seem to bug or shake me as they initially use to, sometimes she sounded stupid and out of point. “Your point exactly?!!.” I asked as I crossed my hands on my chest waiting for her to run out of words, that would be easy as she didn’t bring her goons. “My point is you’re into prostitution now!
I felt my heart aching, I felt tears steering up in my eyes. I wasn’t gonna cry not because of a man I didn’t know!, I am not that weak, not because of this. “Oh nice to meet you Alice!.” I said with the most convincing smile I could offer. I sat beside them, I watched as Alice played with Aidens blonde hair. ^^^^ { This is horrible!!.} Marshal said through the mind-link. { Luna is extremely quiet, she hasn’t said a thing !.} Liam mind-linked Marshal. {I think she’s uncomfortable with Alice being here!.} Marshal replied. {who wouldn’t be, Alice is a show off!} ^^^ I couldn’t take the display of affection! I was a fool to think he would love me. For a moment I thought he would love me like William loved my mom. He might have been horrible to me but he was a great example of true love. I could never be with someone like him, he was meant for a woman with class and a good family name, not me!!. Linda was right. I was a low class girl who couldn’t attract a man like Aiden. I am n
