Cara-

During the car ride, I leaned my head against the window after the conversation died down between us. I tried to not think much on Cindy's words, but a part of me felt ready to use the information I learned as a weapon against Jason. I wanted to go home, he wouldn't let me, but maybe I could make him.

If he wanted obedience and submission, then I would talk back more, and be as defiant as possible. I didn't belong in the mansion. Cindy and Vincent were trying their best to make me feel welcomed, but I wanted to be home, far away from the mansion, and all the indecent events that take place within the walls of that place.

In my home, I was safe and well away from Jason and all the weird explicit things he implicated in his lifestyle. I wanted to forget everything I saw over the past twenty-four hours. I wanted to be back in my own world, where I was in control, and chose what I wanted to be exposed to. I wanted to hide back in the comfort zone of my old lifestyle and forget th

    Cara- I headed up to the room I shared with Cindy, and found her sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, while she scrolled on her phone. There was a soft smile on her face, which reminded me of what I witnessed in the mall earlier today. Cindy looked up from her phone while I closed the door and walked across to my bed. "Hey girly, everything okay?" She asked me. I nodded, "I guess. I'm gonna need your help tying my hair in a bun. You okay with that?" "Yeah sure. Just let me know when you're ready." She replied, before her phone pinged, bringing her attention back to it's screen. I headed over to my bed, placing down my purse and shopping back, then I walked to the bathroom. I kept the door open but stood in front of the mirror while I started to undo my cornrows. "So who's the cutie from the mall earlier?" I called out from the bathroom. I looked in the mirror to catch Cindy's attention.She looked from her phone for a quick second and asked, "Who?""That guy you hugged fr

    Narrator- Cara looked at Jason, and Dante did the same, before sending a glance to catch her reaction. While she did her best to keep the distress off her face, Dante was still surprised that Jason agreed in the first place. "Really?" Dante wondered, his tone slightly skeptic. "Yes, while I wasn't interested in selling, if you're willing to consider my asking price, then I'm willing to accommodate you." Jason answered calmly. "Well, that settles that then." Dante smiled brightly while opening his arms, before he stood up. Jason stood up as well, and so did Henry and Cara. "Thank you for hosting us this evening Jason." Dante greeted, shaking Jason's hand. "It was a pleasure." Jason replied, then shook Henry's hand. "And Cara, thank you for receiving us." Dante turned his attention to Cara, who smiled. "Have a good evening." Cara greeted in return, before leading them towards the door."I will call you sometime this week to let you know when I'm coming by. I'll have instruction

    Narrator- The tick of the clock hands bounced off the wall of the kindergarten classroom, housing fifteen children, and their two teachers. Crayons colored beyond the lines of their drawing, giggles erupted all over the classroom, as the children completed their final tasks of the day. Cara smiled and lifted her eyes from the folders she was organizing to look out onto the innocent children who found the simplest reasons to smile in this world. Her eyes flashed to the ticking clock and she soon started the mental countdown which led to the ringing of the release bell. Upon hearing the bell, the children cheered and dropped their coloring crayons. They hurried to their personal cubbies to retrieve their backpacks and lunchboxes. "Alright, alright, boys and girls, line up against the wall, Miss Thompson will lead you out. See you guys on Monday." Announced Mrs. Whitey, a short middle aged Caucasian woman with greying red hair, tied in a loose high bun atop her round head. "Have a goo

    Narrator- Cara sat in the wooden armchair placed in the small hospital room her father currently resided in. On the way to the hospital Joe loss consciousness and had to be revived. In the emergency room, he was stabilized, and the doctor ordered a stat CT scan. Cara entered the ER just as they were taking her father away. She was allowed to go to the imaging bay with her father's caretakers, and after the scan was completed, Joe was instantly admitted to the hospital, in the neurology department. Cara now waited for the doctor to come in with the results with a churn of anxiety arousing the pits of her stomach. Her father was sleeping soundly, meanwhile Cara found her heart beating with unexplainable fear. Cara nipped away at the inner lining of her bottom lip and inner cheeks. Her fingers slick with sweat played with one another, meanwhile her right leg bounced uncontrollably. The image of her father's helpless form continued to play in her mind, and as much as she hated it, she c

    Narrator- Cara watched with numbing horror the events that unfolded before her eyes. The nurses and doctors rushed into the room. One the nurses pulled a lever under the bed, and the entire bed with her father's frame snapped into a 180-degree line. His body pulsed, while a respiratory technician removed the nasal cannula from his nostrils then moved aside to allow the doctor room to intubate the patient. The tube was in, and the tip of Joe's pink tongue now slightly stuck out from below the tube and rested on his lower lip. The respiratory technician retook his place as he began manually bagging the patient. A loud beeping sounded from the monitor, and Cara's eyes snapped to the screen. The heart rate had decreased significantly. "Patient is bradycardic." One of the nurses announced."Push one of epi, let's start CPR.""Ma'am." Cara suddenly heard in her left ear. Cara's head snapped in the direction of the sound, her wide, unblinking eyes registering a short nurse of Asian desce

    Narrator- Cara stared blankly at the person who knocked on her door. Jason looked back with a similar, uninterested gaze. His hands were in his pockets. He wore a simple dress shirt and jeans. His dark hair was gelled and yet fell into it's natural curls and part that hung over his right eyebrow. "Good afternoon." Jason greeted casually. Cara didn't respond. She didn't waste time in figuring out how he knew her home address, he himself said he came by yesterday after her father was taken to the hospital. "Can I come in?" Jason asked, then he reached to his back pocket and pulled out a folded packet of four stapled papers. He waved the folded packet next to his head and added, "I'd like to get down to business as soon as possible." "I just buried my father." Cara said with a croaked tone, though she couldn't ignore the disbelief that exploded in her chest. "And my deepest condolences." Jason replied, placing a hand on his chest. Cara kept her face void of any emotion. If Jason

    Cara- Disbelief. Pure and utter disbelief. That's where my mind was at right now. I looked over at Jason and tried to understand what exactly he believed in, because right now it was hard for me to believe that he had any common sense. From the moment he walked into my dad's hospital room, I knew he was arrogant. The way he carried himself pretty much expressed that he believed the world revolved around him. Because of this sense of entitlement, I can understand why he thinks everyone should kiss the ground he walks on. Too bad I'm not everyone. I flipped the packet back to the first page, and placed the cap back on my pen. I kept my legs crossed, but assumed a casual position of leaning my spine against the backing of the chair for support. Then, placing my intertwined hands on my higher knee, I settled in my seat and waited for Jason to put together the pieces of my defiance. He looked at me as if I caused a sour distaste to fill his mouth. And I smiled internally, thinking goo

    Narrator-Cara rested her head against the dark tinted window, as the black sedan cruised along the expressway. There was a soft jazz tune playing on the radio, but Jason lowered the volume until the sounds of the rolling tires almost drowned out the musical notes. Cara crossed her arms over her chest, and moved her body as far against the door as possible, maximizing the amount of space between herself and Jason.She felt a bit of mucus lodge in her throat, but only proceeded to clear her throat as soft as possible. Upon hearing the sound, Jason chanced a side glance at Cara, then he focused back on the road. Cara closed her eyes when she felt a warm wave of tears coat her large eyeballs. She blinked multiple times, and her wet eyelashes painted thin streaks of salt water to stain the glass of her eyewear.Cara's nose clogged, and she didn't want Jason to hear her cry. So opening her eyes, she looked out the window and tried to focus on the trees that zoomed by her line of sight. Cara

    Narrator- Jason sat back in his chair, with his intertwined fingers resting just above his belt buckle. A soft, absentminded smile quirked the corners of his lips, his mind clouded with the echoes of Cara's conversation in the car. So Cara was in fact a good girl... at least untainted in body and pure in the mind. This intrigued Jason more than he would've liked it to, however it did give him the upper hand on how to handle Cara from now on, whenever she crossed the line. The Dom's calculating was cut off, when a swift knock sounded from his office's door. Looking at the wooden barricade, Jason straightened himself, and pulled closer to the desk. "Come in." He invited. The door opened, and in walked Monique, dressed in a workout shorts that could pass for boyshort panties, and a crop top that clearly exposed her underboob. As soon as Monique stepped into the office, Jason's spine stiffened, his blood turning sour in his veins. Jason sighed, not feeling up to entertaining any

    Narrator- Cindy entered the office, while passing close to Cara. In that moment of close contact, Cara made a quick face of her eyes rolling up and her tongue sticking out to the side of her mouth, to indicate that Jason was killing her. Cindy did her best to stifle a chuckle and cleared her throat while making her way to Jason's desk. Cara took her time in closing the door and took even longer to walk back to the desk. She pretended to be studying the credit card in her hand, and while she expected to see the company's name, instead she noticed it was Jason's first and last name on the card. Frowning, Cara reached the desk and prepared to sink into the spongy seat. Jason waited for Cara's butt to almost reach the seat, when he cleared his throat and spoke up, "Oh Miss Thompson, please wait in the hall. I'd like to speak with Cindy alone." "What-" Cara breathed out, her face instantly marring into an angry mask. Jason rose an eyebrow at her actions, and Cara sent a side glance to

    Narrator- Cara was startled from her resting state by Cindy's blaring iPhone alarm. Her heartrate instantly spiked, and she swallowed a gulp of overnight-flavored saliva, while staring at the ceiling, trying to calm her breathing. Cara turned her neck to the right when she heard Cindy mutter and stretch in her bed. Cindy lifted her hand and tapped around until she felt her phone screen and turned off the alarm. She yawned loudly, then rolled over, facing Cara. "Good Morning girly." Cindy greeted, though she was still half sleeping. Cara rubbed her eyes and yawned. "What time is it?" Cara asked, while sitting up. Cindy lifted her hand in sign that Cara wait for a moment, then she turned on her stomach and placed her head on her pillow. Cara watched on perplexed. "Did you fall asleep again-" Cara was in the process of asking after a moment, when Cindy's hand shot up again, in sign of wait. Zipping her lips, Cara waited. Cindy took a few more seconds before lifting her head

    Narrator- Cara breathed heavily, her eyes staring angrily at Jason, who on the other hand was calmer than the sea at sunrise. While Cara panted from her struggles, which she attempted every once in a while, Jason had no problem holding her in this position. He studied the way she excited herself while trying to escape him. His grip on her wrists did not relent, which resulted in a thin lining of sweat to form between their skins. She said nothing more and placed all her energy in her fight to remove her body from his, but the harder she tried, the more Jason pushed their intertwined hands into the small of her back, forcing her to flush as close as possible against him. Cara frowned when she realized that she was now fully plastered against Jason's form. Her shoulder muscles were already tense, and her neck was enveloped in a dizzying heat. Being so close and personal with Jason caused Cara to feel helpless, and as much as she wanted to take another bite at gun, she only wished to do

Read at your own discretion.* Narrator- When the doors were fully opened, the ballroom was blocked by two large curtains that Cara didn't notice before. Cindy walked through the curtains first. Seeing this as her last chance, Cara grabbed Jason's elbow, keeping him from stepping through the curtain. "Wait." Cara said urgently, prompting Jason to stop and look down on her hands clasping down on his skin. Noticing his reaction, Cara removed her hands, but held eye contact with Jason. "I'm sorry." Cara began again. "I promise you, it won't happen again. This isn't my territory, it's yours and I have to respect your boundaries. You don't have to do this." Cara apologized truthfully. With Cindy already gone through the curtain, it was now just the two of them. Jason turned his body fully towards Cara. She blinked at his actions but said noth

    Narrator- Cara blinked in astonishment and slight concern as she looked at Jason, who stared back with a calm façade, while his hands rested in his pockets. The excitement and adrenaline began to rise in Cara's veins, her heartbeat accelerating beneath the pressure of the tall man's gaze. She tried to appear calm, and silently thanked her melanin tone which hid the heat that caused her face to flush with blood due to the tension in the large hallway. Otherwise, her shame and slight fear would've painted her cheeks crimson red, and her guilt from being caught for breaking a rule would've been as scarlet as the letter A itself. On the other hand, Jason found this situation to irk him to the bone. He knew that Cara was going to be a challenge. She showed her true colors quite early on, but now that she expressed no care for the boundaries he instilled within the walls of his home, he felt that some action would have to be taken. The thought of reprimanding Cara in a way that would get h
