Waking up Marcus isn't in bed, walking down the stairs I see him sitting with Jackson, a note in front of him. I look at him and then at the note."It's nothing Kitty, something Jackson got that is all." I nod, smiling and start making breakfast. Marcus sat talking to Jackson; something tells me there is more to that note. I finish cooking and wake Luna, sitting together we eat, Marcus looking like he is miles away, Alex in his arms.My eyes watching him, Jackson will be back soon with Alena and everyone else. After finishing eating, I clean up, getting everything ready for the party, Marcus just sat there in a daze, I will ask him later when everyone has gone. Finishing getting everything ready Alena and Jackson show up, followed by Liam and Georgina. Troy and the rest of them soon after, I look at Alena."Is Jackson acting weird at all today?" She looks at me, nodding."Why?" I look at her and then at Marcus."Marcus has, all day. He literally just sat there staring at Alex, not tal
Waking up, I am laid on the sofa, a woman leaning over me looking at me."Anaya, can you hear me?" I look at her nodding, who is she?"Do you know where you are?" I look around me nodding."At home" She nods smiling."You had a severe panic attack and passed out, can you remember?" I look at her shaking my head."Where's Marcus? I want Marcus." Sitting up, I look around me, everything flooding back, he's gone. My panic rising again."Anaya, breathe. Look at me, please." I look at the woman, the panic rising more, he actually left, it wasn't a dream."Count, please count. Take a breath in and count to six." Sitting she counts my breathing with me until I can breathe again. She looks around."Who is responsible for her?" Everyone looks at me, Jackson, Troy, everyone. No one, because he left."I am." Demitri steps forward."For now, anyway, what do we do?" He looks at her, my mind blocking out the talking as she explains my panic attacks and how to calm me, everyone else listening. Jacks
Jackson:I get the call I was dreading, Anaya looking for Marcus. Driving to hers I try to compose myself; I need to, I can't just walk in there and hope I don't spill everything free. I walk in and smile at Anaya. Why have I got to be the one breaking her heart?"I can't find him, Anaya, I'm sorry,""He's probably just; I don't know." She looks at me with tears in her eyes. Picking up her phone, I watch as she starts calling people, asking if they have seen Marcus. I go through my phone calling people, just to show her I am looking as well. I watch as she grabs his book, going through a list of all his past Brats everyone, just in the hope one of them says they saw him. An hour later she realises he is gone."His car is still here; no clothes have gone, even his wallet is there." She points to his wallet in the kitchen. I can see it; I can see her breaking inside."Something was weird, Jackson; I saw it yesterday on his face, he was acting weird and different; he didn't even want to
I watch as Georgina sorts the kids, getting them in bed, hours pass by Anaya just sat there staring at his chair, walking over I look at her."Bed" She looks up at me, confused."Look, Marcus may not be here, but you still have to look after yourself. Georgina got Luna and Alex down ages ago. You can't keep sleeping on the sofa for a few hours; it isn't good for you." I look at her, please just move."I"-"Don't Anaya, think of the kids; they need their mum right now. Me, Demitri, Alena and Georgina are all here for you. We will help you. Right now, though, please go get some sleep." I cut her off; she needs to sleep."What about this?" I hear Demitri, turning I look at him, hopefully, he can help."I will stay up tonight, all night Anaya in case he comes back?" I look at Anaya, praying she agrees."You will tell him to stay, right?" She looks at Demitri waiting; he isn't going to show up."No Anaya, I will tie his arse to the chair, so he has to." Nodding, she smiles, my body relaxin
ANAYA:I feel hollow, walking around smiling, yet the smile is just a mirror of the real feelings I hold, it is like a reflection of my life right now. Sure it is a smile, but it is a reflection, if you could see the true image, it would be a grimace, you would see a woman crying and broken, her heart in her hand bleeding out, crumbling a bit more every second of every day.You would see a woman, staring at her heart, it unable to beat because the key is lost. I look at my hand, the vision of my heart in it. A bullet lodged inside, just like Marcus said, he is the gun to the bullet. The gun that has now left, and that bullet can't survive anymore; slowly it is poisoning me, pushing me closer to a death that right now I crave.I can't remove the bullet; I wish I could. I know removing that bullet will hurt far more than holding onto it in the hope the gun comes back, because surely if I am the gun to his bullet, he is just as bad as me. Surely he is broken, crying watching his heart sl
The feel of his hand stroking over my back. His hand lifts me up, the rope wrapping around them and pulling up. His hand strokes along my skin, the whip hitting my arse, making me jump. His hand stroking around my body again, before the whip hits again."Close your eyes, Kitten, picture something right now that makes you sad." I nod, closing my eyes, Marcus's face instantly flying into my mind, the whip hitting again and I scream. The picture of Marcus becomes more vivid."Have you done that kitten?""Yes, Sir." I stare at his face, something I have avoided doing, the tears building in my eyes, the whip hitting again."Now, I want you to hear their voice, their last words to you." Nodding I replay that last night in my mind, like a record on reply. His voice sounds so close. The whip hits again and makes me jump and scream."Keep it on replay." I nod, the sound of Marcus's voice replying in my mind, the tears falling quicker as the whip hits."Right Kitten, remember this won't be easy
JACKSON:Five months have passed, and each day she is worse. I watch her get closer to Demitri.My phone rings. Checking around I answer it."Marcus.""Yeah, it's me, guessing no news?" He knows there is none if there were, he would have got the message."No, look, I need to tell you something.""Anaya needs something, and right now she is getting closer and closer to Demitri, I'm stopping her though.""I said leave it, Jackson, if she moves on let her." I shake my head, I won't let her, not yet."I am not saying anything to Demitri. I am going to suggest we take her to the playroom. We are going to tell her we will get her to her subspace so she can have some freedom from her thoughts." I wait, he doesn't reply."Then, if she agrees, I am going to push her tonight, I know how wound up she gets by being called crazy, I will make sure she agrees, but I won't just put her in her subspace, I am going to break her.""Don't you fucking dare, what the hell Jackson? Just let her fuck Demitri
Anaya:It has been weeks since the night with Jackson, and I am slowly feeling like myself again, small parts of me feel weird though, almost like I am missing something, what though I don’t know. Walking downstairs I get the kids ready; I will help Alena this morning, then maybe later today see Demitri, before our girl's night in. Getting to hers, I sit down, going through things with her. I don't understand why she wants my input; I am not part of her business."Had another sighting of Marcus, got a picture." I look up, seeing Troy walk in, standing up I walk towards him. I look at him I need to see the picture; I don't know why but I do."Picture?" I hold out my hand, Troy looking like he is debating giving it to me, why? It is only a picture. I watch as his hand places it down, my eyes peering over it — a flood of emotions running through me, but mostly hate. I look at the beautiful woman sitting with him, clearly a slave, she has a collar on."Well, looks like he moved on," I gue
"You two look amazing together." I nod smiling at Marcus."Thanks, I'm still waiting to wake up, the last five years, just flew by." They did, and we moved into his spare house and settled down there. In 9 months, she was pregnant, and a few months later I proposed."So, we are all still waiting." I nod and laugh."Soon, let her finish the dance with Ethan, then Star will pop the balloon and you will all know, including me." I look at the balloons."There is no indication, trust me I tried looking, but you can't see what colour the confetti is, inside them." I nod and laugh."It will be a boy." I have a girl, so I can hope for a boy. He pats my shoulder and walks off."Happy wedding day Uncle Demitri." I turn and smile at Katy."Thank you, Katy, where is Jacob?" I can't remember seeing him."He is sorting out Jackson." I laugh, why would he be sorting out Jackson?"Oh, baby Jackson, yeah, my bad, that is taking some getting used to." I laugh shaking my head."Barely a baby Demitri, he
My foot taps as my eyes stay fixed on my hands, the sweat building in my palms. The faint muffled sound of talking comes from all around me as I try to stay calm. The music begins, my heart racing faster than before, I feel like running and fast. I feel the slight tap on my shoulder, turning I smile seeing Anaya walking towards me. Star by her side, holding up a wooden heart.Daddy, Mummy is coming! The words make me smile, she walks towards me, stopping Anaya smiles as Star hugs me before sitting down next to Anaya. I look at Jackson and Marcus standing next to me, the music continuing as Luna and Alex walk down together. Reaching me they both hug me, my eyes watching as they sit down. I try to calm my breathing my eyes watching the door, seeing the white moving slightly.I smile feeling the tear fill my eyes as she stops at the end of the aisle. Her brother by her side as she begins walking towards me, my smile growing as the tear falls down my cheek, Analise reaches me, her brot
"We're here Kitty." I open my eyes, and Marcus is smiling at me."Can I just go back to sleep, Master?" I laugh looking around us."No, come on, get your arse in there. Everything is sorted, we just need to unpack personal stuff. Then have food, and plan." Nodding I open the door."Plan what Master?" I was hoping for a lazy day today, I guess not."You will see, I took the bags in, the kids are playing." Nodding I get out and start walking towards the house, the fields seem to go on for miles."Right come on." Nodding I follow Marcus around the house."Like the last one, kitchen, however totally separate from the dining room, the Dining room is here, kids game room is here, utility room, living room, second living room, office, storage." I nod following him around."Right upstairs Kitty." I nod following him up."Luna's room, MJ's, Alex's, bathroom one, storage. Bathroom two, our room with bathroom, our playroom, and second playroom, spare bedroom for the next baby we have." I stop an
Standing I take my top off, the door opening as Marcus walks in.“Behave, I mean that.” I look at him laughing as he pushes me back.“Fuck behaving kitty, I have unfinished business, and I can’t get the way you looked in that corset out of my head.” I moan as his mouth presses against my neck.“The kids Master, we can wait, we will land in like an hour.” I feel his head shake as he continues kissing my neck.“Kids are sorted, happily occupied with someone, now shut up and let me fuck you.” I moan as he continues kissing down my body his hands removing my clothes. His head stops between my legs as his tongue begins to tease.“I thought you said you were going to fuck me, Master.” This isn’t fucking me. I scream as his fingers push inside me.“Shh Kitty, this place certainly isn’t soundproof and hearing you scream just makes me want to do more.” I moan nodding, his tongue continuing to tease as his fingers play, pushing me to orgasm, he stands up, my hands grabbing his clothes and remov
Walking downstairs after getting the kids in bed, Katy and Issy have left along with Georgina."Right, just adults now." Jackson looks at us as we sit down, I guess tonight me, and Marcus don't get alone either."Now they have gone. Everything is booked for the day of moving, I will be telling Liam he has a year to sort a place out. Katy is only 15, but she will want her space once the baby comes. I am hoping we can keep her at home for a year until she is 16, but if not then they will need to find a house quicker.""She is a child; she has no choice but to stay at home until you let her leave Jackson." Marcus looks at him like he is crazy."And you're right, but having a new baby is hard as an adult, never mind as a child with the thoughts of if their parents are watching their every move, plus, I want Jacob to feel at home, so it will be his house as much as Katy's" I stare at Jackson."No, I don't want anything from you." Jacob looks at Jackson shocked."No arguing, she made you pa
"Your pregnant?" Georgina appears behind us after a few minutes, Katy crying and nodding. Georgina moves and cuddles her."You will be fine, your mum and dad will be fine, just shocked that is all." Demitri escapes into the other room, sitting an hour passes as me and Georgina talk to Katy, Alena and Jackson coming back with Marcus."Okay, I am calm. I am angry as hell Katy, but I still love you. You're my baby girl like Issy." He hugs her and I see her relaxing as she cries, Marcus sitting next to me, his mouth at my ear."I calmed him down and explained she could drop any time so he should be gentler." I nod, she has months yet, I hope."Right, so I am not sure what your mum will say, but I think the way forward is to get you checked out and make sure you are okay. Then go from there, no more ignoring this, and that includes telling Jacob." Marcus smiles like something has happened."No Dad, he will hate me." Katy looks at him as the door opens, and Jacob walks in."You may need to
"Okay, so I guess I will start with part one. Katy lied to Jacob about her age, they knew each other yeah, but he wasn't sure of her age. She told him she was 16, and as you said, Katy looks a lot older, so he didn't question it." He nods listening."So, they did sleep together. She then realised her mistake when it came to her birthday. She realised he would see her cards saying 15 and see she lied, so she told him a few days before her birthday that is when he swore never to touch her again until she was 16." He looks at me confused."If Jackson and Alena paid attention, they would see her card from him has 17 on, he bought it before she told him.""Right, so that is what this is all over? She lied, okay Jacob isn't to blame I can see that, Jackson and Alena will as well, so we tell them and clear it up." I shake my head."Marcus that is part of the story, just listen you swore not to tell them." He nods, this is the part where he flips."So, I assumed like you this was all over th
Sitting I think about his words."Someone needs to talk to her Master." This can't keep happening."We have all tried, if you want to there is nothing to lose, but honestly, I can't see anything calming her, except one thing which is bad to think of Kitty, but that is the one thing that will scare her into realising she can't do this and not get hurt.""I will try, I know her a bit, not enough like you lot so maybe she will tell me? Maybe she won't but it is worth a try Master. You're all clean, go get some sleep." He needs to."I can't, Jackson is coming, and to be honest Kitty even if he wasn’t, I can't sleep. Not until I know Katy is okay, she was a mess after the fight." I nod.Making us a drink we sit down, about an hour passing as we talk about last night, Marcus telling me I was right for making him go.The door opens as Jackson walks in, Katy following. Jackson looks at Marcus shocked, I am guessing he didn't see him, he turns back to Katy."Jackson don't." I look at him, shou
Standing I wash the plates, a few minutes passing by in silence."Really Kitty?" I turn and face Marcus, what did I do? Or what have I done that he found out?"What Master?" I place the last plate on the rack and begin drying my hands."You actually were just going to do that? Wash up and go to bed and quit?""You said you were worn out Master, I am trying to behave." I am for a change."Come on Kitty, really? You didn't even question it, or mention what you had planned, nothing? Just okay." I nod, I don't want to push him if he doesn't feel like doing certain things."I am sure I did that before Kitty, you laughed at me and said like hell are we going to bed. Come back to me please Kitty." I move towards him, his head shaking."You know what I meant, if I was worn out and you laughed and said like hell are we going to bed, I would have made sure you know I meant it. I miss the crazy woman I used to have before all this, the one who would have jumped across the table and teased me for
