Stowaway.
Chapter two.
Zoe's point of view
Of course, the door is locked what else did I expect; I make my way over to the window opening it wide, I lean out and look around it's hopeless there's no way out I'm trapped in here.
Dropping down on the bed I can't help the tears, how am I going to get out of this there's no way im going to marry Austin Rutherford that's for sure, they can't force me to say wedding vows, can they.
I have no idea how long I've been laying there looking at the ceiling my tears have stopped now, my face blotchy and red getting up I make my way into the bathroom thankful there's a lock on the door, stripping off my clothes I turn the shower on before stepping inside the bathroom is full of ladies toiletries, everything I could possibly need. Makes me feel as though they have been planning this for a long time.
I step out of the shower and dry my hair before putting in a loose bun as I wrap the towel around me, looking through the wardrobe and drawers for something to wear, again there's everything I could possibly need all in my size, all new with labels on.
Although I'm grateful to get out of my dress, It does nothing to ease my fears.
I fall into bed exhausted and extremely worried about what tomorrow may bring.
I wake up to a woman entering the room shes brings a tray laden with breakfast placing it down on the table, I look at her before I say.
"Please help me get away from here; I'm being held against my will."
She doesn't speak, but when she looks at me, she looks just as terrified as I feel, she turns to walk out of the room with a look of sympathy on her face, I guess shes not going to help me then.
Fuck I have to find a way out, I eat the breakfast before having a quick shower to wake me up and wrapping a towel around me, Im walking into the bedroom to look for something to wear when the door opens again this time its Austin and his father who walked into the room, Austin smirks as he notices me in the towel, I hold it to my body. Mr Rutherford sees my reaction before he says.
"No need to be shy now Zoe, hes soon to be your husband."
I feel my cheeks burning as Austin laughs his eyes filled with lust as he looks me up and down. Strides over to pull pulling the towel from my body, I cry out mortified as I use my hands to cover myself.
"Please don't."
Both the men are looking at me now, Mr Rutherford says.
" She's not bad Son; I like that shes freshly shaved, she could do with her breasts a size or two bigger, we can get in touch with Clifford."
Austin grins, the looks on his face makes me feel sick he runs his hand along my side making me flinch, I try to step back, but there's nowhere to go as my back meets the wall.
He grabs my hand forcing them above my head, holding them there with one hand, he grabs at my breast cruelly twisting my nipple his face delighted as I cry out in pain, tears falling down my face he runs his hand lower touching my pussy.
"Please stop," I say.
He steps back, smelling his hand, he smirks as he says.
"I can't wait to make you mine Zoe; this pussy belongs to me me, tell me beautiful has anyone ever touched my pussy?"
I looked at him, shocked and sickened as he asks me.
"Are you a virgin, Zoe?"
I try to speak, but no words come out this can't be happening to me, He then slaps me across my face, letting go of my hand. I grab the towel holding it in front of me my face stinging as he bellows.
"Are you."
I nod unable to speak as the tears keep falling, Mr Rutherford laughs standing behind Austin,
"What a lovely wedding present for you, Son.
We shall get Clifford to check and make sure."
Mr Rutherford is now pulling clothes out of the wardrobe throwing them on the bed as he turns and says,
"I have a hairdresser and makeup artist coming in twenty minutes you will wear these clothes for your first official outing with your fiance, we expect the press will have gotten word of your engagement by now, you will smile and look like a woman in love, or your father will pay the price."
I answer him back.
"Why should I care what happens to my father, he gave me a way to save his business."
He looks back at me with a sick look on his face as he says.
"If you don't do as your told I will bury your father and your brother and I don't just mean their business, I mean in a box underground, do you understand me?"
I nod my head as the look on his face tells me he means every word.
They both walk out of the room, leaving me standing clutching the towel against my body.
How the fuck am I going to get out of this.
I'm sat on the bed when a man and a woman come in they introduce themselves as my hairdresser and makeup artist, this time I don't say anything, remembering the threats he made against my family. Once they have finished, I look in the mirror barely able to recognise my reflection. I look like a supermodel, not a hair out of place. This time yesterday, I thought I had the whole world ahead of me, less than twenty-four hours later my reflections tells a totally different story as she looks back at me with her haunting eyes and blank expression.
Austin comes strolling into the room, not bothering to knock in the door his eyes trail over my body clearly happy with my appearance.
"Not bad,"
He says as he drags me through the door, thankfully the makeup artist worked wonders on my already bruised arm. We walk down the stairs and into a waiting car.
"Where are we going,"
I ask Austin.
To the mall first Im going to take my fiancee shopping, then we'll head to Puccini's for lunch, and we'll finish off at the opera, we should be able to pick up some attention from the press today, I might even buy my beautiful fiancee some sexy underwear."
He replies with a sneer.
I turn to look out the window no longer wanting to look at his arrogant face; I know that one-day im going to wipe that sneer off his face.
We arrive at Mall, Austin takes my hand and whispers in my ear.
"Don't forget what my father said regarding your brother and father."
I take his hand and turn to him with a smile worthy of any Oscar winner as he guides me around the shops, I make sure to look in the jewellers picking out some expensive items letting Austin put them on me, I smile as I touch the jewellery as I think to myself, at least I have something to sell if I ever get away from him. Austin insisted we visit the lingerie store placing lots of flimsy garments into the basket; I shudder at the look on his face, there's no way you'll be peeling that from my body, Austin Rutherford.
Our last visit of the night is the opera house, of course, we have the best seats in our own private box, Austin places my hand on top of his as he whispers sweet bullshit in my ear, the press below now taking pictures of our joined hands. I cringe as I think of the headlines in tomorrows news.
Fuck what will my friends think! Austin turns to look at me looking like the cat that got the cream
I can't wait to wipe that smile off you face Austin fucking Rutherford!
Stowaway chapter threeZoe's point of view.The rest of the week passes in a blur; My face is all over the news, apparently im the one who tamed Austin Rutherford. Lucky me, yeah!!!I'm sick of this circus show now, every night I have to go out hair and makeup done wearing designer clothes, and everywhere we go the press are there jumping out to take a picture, Austin plays the doting fiance holding my hand, kissing me when he's knows were being watched. I feel sick when he kisses me, but I've played the part of the perfect fiancee when all I really want to do his break his fucking nose.I'm very thankful that Austin hasn't tried anything else since that night, but I've made sure to take my clothes into the bathroom with me. I will never put myself in that situation again especially where Mr Rutherford senior is concerned; If I thought, Austin was a sleaze bag he's got nothing comp
Stowaway chapter fourZoe's point of view.The dress is pulling me under.The heavy material of the sequined dress soaks up the water like a sponge, weighing me down like a lead brick, I try desperately to unwrap the heavy dress from my body, my lungs feel as though they're going to burst as I hold in the precious air for as long as I possibly can.The heavy material finally slips free of my body.My head is pounding, my lungs screaming for oxygen as I release the last of the air. I keep fighting until I feel like my head is about to explode, I have to hold my breath, I try so hard, but the need for oxygen takes overtake me as I gulp in the salty water, The water creeps in around me, filling me with a deep dread, black splotches dance in front of my eyes, as the Icy cold I had felt upon entering the water was completely gone the desperation overcomes me as Panic begins to set in. The black spo
Stowaway.Chapter five.Aiden's point of view.I look down at our beautiful boat the Mary Jane; we named her after our precious Grandmother when I say our I mean myself and my three brothers, Noah, Jack and Carter. The Taylor brothers. We've spent hour after hour painstakingly restoring our beautiful Mary Jane back to its original glory, well apart from the few modern features we've installed, mostly the modern kitchen and the power shower in the bathroom. I mean we're all big guys and the tiny cubicle that was in there before it just didn't work.Oh yeah, there's also the powerful engine we added we like to sail when we can, but it's always good to have a backup.We also fitted a large bed in the main bedroom and the other two rooms we added bunks, my brother's hand made them so there slightly more significant than a standard sized bed, but it works we have so much more room now.
Stowaway chapter six Aiden's point of viewI frown as Noah, shuts the door behind him; shaking my head, I have no idea why he called me baby, I look down at the beautiful blonde woman in my arms as I hold the glass of water to her lips.I whisper to her,"Come on sweetheart I need you to swallow the pills we need to get your temperature down, If you can't swallow them then we will have to get the lifeguards to take you off the boat and to the nearest hospital, do you understand me?"She nods her head weakly as her beautiful blue eyes flutter open, she manages t
Stowaway chapter seven Zoe's point of view.I try to open my eyes, but everything hurts, my head hurts, my throat hurts and my limbs hurt.Fuck what happened I think to my self as I try to lift my arms, realising something is weighing it down, with a groan I eventually pry my eyes open as the sunlight hits me. I turn my head to the side a half scream leaving my dry throat as I pull my hand away from the man who's holding it.He groans as he opens his eyes, and I find myself looking into the most mesmerising green eyes I've ever seen in my life. I scoot away from him as he blinks looking at me before he says, in a deep m
Stowaway chapter eight Aiden's point of viewNoah asks me to help him prepare some food giving me a look as he asks, I know this has nothing to do with food he wants to see if I've found out anything about our little mystery stowaway, I nod my head as I follow him into the kitchen area softly closing the door behind us, he instantly turns to me and asks."Did you find anything out?"I run my hand over my stubble trying to control my anger my emotions running wild after everything she just told me before I reply."James Rutherford threatened her
Stowaway.Chapter nine.Aiden's point of viewI hold her in my arms as we look into each other's eyes. Knowing I will do whatever it takes to keep Zoe Mathers safe, and if that means taking down Austin Rutherford and his father, then that's what I will do.We reluctantly pull away from each other my arms feeling instantly empty; it's like she's filled this gap that I never knew existed.I whisper to her"let me help you, Zoe? I can keep you safe."She smiles up at me with those beautiful baby blues as she says."It's too dangerous when you dock the boat I'll get off, I have jewellery I can sell to get me started somewhere."I sigh the thought of Zoe leaving me fills me with instant dread. I pull her back into
Stowaway.Chapter ten.Zoe's point of viewI must have fallen asleep in Aiden's arms, after promising him I would stay on board. I'm so frightened right now, Aiden and his brothers are good people, and I don't want to put them in any danger.Aiden tried his best to reassure me, making me promise to meet with his father after the weekend he said to me"My father is more powerful than James Rutherford could ever dream of."My last thoughts before I drift back off to sleep.Maybe there is a way out of this; I really don't want to spend the rest of my life running away from Austin Rutherford and his father.I wake up in the afternoon with the soft sea breeze blowing through the curtains, making my way over to the window I peep outside, the sun is bright, and the boys are laughing on the deck. I pull the t-shirt down my body before wearily making my way o
StowawayChapter 58Aiden's point of view.Six months later.I'm so fucking nervous…..It's not that I think Zoe won't turn up. It's the fact that I've waited so long for this day, she didn't want to be pregnant when she got married, so we set a date for six months after our baby boy Zane was born, and it's been the longest six months of my life but today is finally the day I get to call this beautiful woman my wife.
StowawayChapter 57Zoe's point of view.The next morning I finally get to hear Erin's story, and my heart breaks for her. Over the last four years, she has been passed from man to man or master to master, as she says, forced to participate in whatever sick scene they wanted. Yes, Erin was sold as a BDSM sex slave. I know that Jack is the calmest one of the Taylor brothers, and Erin seems to have picked up on this, she doesn't want to leave his side, and he seems content with watching over her. I still notice how she won't look him in the eye, though, or how her eyes always fall to the floor and that she always walks behind him. She's not the same outgoing girl that I went to school with, and it's just tragic.
StowawayChapter 56Zoe's point of view.It's been three months since that magical night. I'm now seven months pregnant and feeling it, although thankfully, the sickness has now passed, and I'm actually enjoying the pregnancy now.The house is starting to look like a home, but I doubt we will be moved in before the baby comes, though.Yvonne is delighted about that, and she tries to wait on me hand and foot, though; I don't take offence its just part of who she is and why I love her so much.We've decided not to find out the sex of the baby; Noah is still convinced that we're having a b
StowawayChapter 55Zoe's point of view.I look out towards the sea from what will be our master bedroom as the fireworks light up the sky around us; Aiden wraps me in his arms as his head rests on top of mine.This man is my everything, and tonight was more than I could if ever imagined.Perfection……..He kisses the top of my head as he whispers in my ear."I have more news to tell you."I turn around to look at him, as he says.
StowawayChapter 54Zoe's point of view.The first thing I notice when we pull up at the house is a new house being built on the grounds, and I gasp, surprised at the sight of it as I say to Alan and Yvonne."I didn't know you were having something built?"Yvonne smiles; she turns her head to look at me as she says."Yeah, we decided to sell some of the land; Alan is gettin
StowawayChapter 53Zoe's point of view.I walk out of the holding cell as a free woman. Finally, I can leave the past behind. I never thought I could kill someone, never thought I was this strong, and the strangest feeling of them all is that I have no regrets. The world is, no doubt, a safer place without the Rutherfords.I laugh as Aiden pulls me into his arms, claiming my lips in a powerful kiss as he says."Fuck, baby, that was so hot."
StowawayChapter 52Zoe's point of viewI spend the night in Aiden's arms, back in the bed we shared together before falling asleep with a smile on my face.This feels like home, my safe place back in his arms.I wake up to Aiden kissing my neck, God I've missed this so much.I can't help the moan that slips from my lips."Mmmmmmm"He chuckles as he kisses my lips"Jesus baby, you have no idea how much that sexy lit
StowawayChapter 51Aiden's point of viewMy parents head back to the safe house, and I'm left alone with Zoe, she has to spend the night under observation as the doctors were a little concerned with the length of time she was unconscious for.Once I've helped her take a shower, I slide into the hospital bed alongside her, pulling her into my arms as she yawns.She looks at me as she whispers."What happened to Austin and his father."I sigh as I reply."Noah has taken them
StowawayChapter 50Aiden's point of view.Noah gives me a warning look as I pull the visor down on my helmet, he knows that I'm going in first, and I know he won't try to stop me, this is me in my element, this is what I've trained all my life for, and there's no way I can take a back seat.Especially not where Zoe's concerned.I turn to look at my team as I shout."Let's
