Stephanie Jake had allowed me to come back to court only under the condition that I always remained in his sight. If I needed the bathroom, he insisted I waited and accompanied Lyla to ensure there wasn’t an opportunity for Carter to get to me. I wasn’t sure it would work but I couldn’t stay in the flat any longer, partly because I was getting bored out of my mind and second, because I was terrified his dreadful mother would return to kick me out of Jake’s life once and for all. That woman, she was so different from my mother, it just made me miss her even more. Not that I would have wanted Jake’s mum to replace mine but having a motherly figure in my life would have been nice. However, that doesn’t seem to be the case where she is concerned. In truth we hadn’t really talked about his family to busy with the trial and the drama Carter has been causing. I have never been so stressed when I have begun a relationship before. It occurs to me that we haven’t even gone for a date yet, s
StephanieThe weight of what Joe had given me was stressing me out, I didn’t want to tell Jake as he would be furious that Joe had gotten to me again. I was angry but mostly I was scared. These men, each time I bumped into them things went from bad to worse. I knew Jake said he would take care of it, but other than his reputation being ruined by associating himself with me, nothing was going to happen to him.I on the other hand, he had threatened with jail, rape and God knows what he was going to do to my sister. The stakes were so much higher. Perhaps if I did this little thing it would protect Jess and myself from this monster. At least for a little longer.I really didn’t know what to do, if Jake found out he would be furious.I know he said Carter was using me to get to him, but that didn’t add up when it would be me that suffered. All I kept picturing was the stupid sand timer that Carter had given me after our first meet. I didn’t know how much time I would have left, one thing
Jake My anger was burning inside me, I had come to know my little doe well enough that if she is hiding something from me, it’s bad. I had been watching her grab her pockets sporadically something out of character, even more so as her eyes were as wide as saucers as she sat on edge throughout the meeting. Even now she continued to back away from me until her back hit the cabinet, not something she has done since we have been together, I grab both her wrists seeing her wince, frowning I didn’t grab her that hard, I take out the item in her pocket. I let go of her wrists stepping back from her. How could she! I look at her seeing her clutch her wrist, pocketing the device I walk back over to her grabbing her arm that she is clutching I pull back her sleeve, her lower lip trembles as I look down, I can see a large purple bruise forming her arm slightly swollen too. ‘Start speaking now,’ I demand from her watching her flinch. I don’t want to yell at her, but why didn’t she tell me, I
Stephanie***Trigger Warning Stephanie Assaulted in this chapter skip to next chapter if you want to avoid this **I couldn’t believe I was here, that I had even agreed to this idea was mad. Here I was waiting for Carter to arrive to trap him with sufficient evidence for Jake to have him disbarred and hopefully open up an investigation to have him arrested.Carter had picked the meeting point; he had been a little too happy to meet me which just set me on edge. I was in one of those underground multi story car parks, he had chosen an exact level to meet and now that I waited here, I could see even the security cameras weren’t able to penetrate. A perfect blind spot.Jake with all his intellect had insisted I record the conversation; I had activated my voice note leaving it running in my pocket. He thought as Carter had an infatuation with me, he was more likely to say something incriminating. As a rouse I was to offer him evidence to help him with his case, the smoking gun that would
StephanieNow that I was free of that nightmare … I couldn’t hold back the emotions that we chocking me, I waited in the underground car park of our home for 20 minutes as I cried my eyes out. The problem was the concrete walls looked the same as … my body ached, I felt sore between my thighs, my breast had finally stopped bleeding. There was a faint bruise on my neck not to mention all the hickies he had left on my skin, as if the memory wasn’t enough, I needed the visual reminder of the events of tonight too.If Jake saw me like this, he would flip out, feel guilty I had already seen many messages and missed calls from him, especially as he could see that I was now home. I just wasn’t ready to face him yet. I looked in the car view mirror wiping my tears away as I assessed the damage.My face was red and blotchy from the crying, then there was all the bruises and blood covering me. There were some wet wipes in the glove compartment, I used that to wipe away the mix between Joe and m
JakeShe just left.She walked through those lift doors without looking back at me once.I didn’t know what to do or think, I was consumed with anger the second I say the hickey on her neck I lost it. It was as if a red fog head taken over, no matter what she said I couldn’t believe her, someone had touched what was mine, worse she had let them.I had never felt jealousy or rage like it. I had struggled not to hurt her, she had to leave but, why was it so easy for her to do so, I couldn’t understand.It just proved I was right, her and Carter were in this together and I was not going to fall for her bullshit anymore. Those large doe eyes of her that I would get lost in, that was where things had gone wrong. I ran my hands through my hair not knowing what to do with myself as I paced around the apartment.I was angry and frustrated, I poured myself a whiskey from the mini bar in the corner before slumping into the seat. She had tricked me; her whole innocent act was so convincing. I ju
JakeI had really fucked up, why didn’t I listen to what she said. I could have avoided all of this. I was pacing the apartment my mind in turmoil. I needed to find her but where to start.I tried her number again and again but each time it went straight to voice mail, I couldn’t blame her if I was her, I wouldn’t take my calls either. Still, I needed to know she was okay, I looked back at the broken phone with the crushed screen the voice note on pause. I felt sick knowing what she’s been through. Why did I think she would cheat on me, she has never done anything to imply that she would.What was niggling away at me was that it was my idea, she never would have met that creep if I hadn’t suggested it. I ran my hands through my hair, this is all my fucking fault. If I manage to find her, what exactly would I say to make her forgive me, what could I say that would allow me to forgive myself.That was something I knew would never be possible, she had even begged me to be close by, she k
StephanieI hadn’t wanted to turn on my phone, I knew Jake would track me I had clearly realized too late before switching it off. I told the cabbie to just drive whilst I cleared my head. Normally whenever something like this happened, I would go to Sabrina’s but we weren’t even on speaking terms, it was something I was going to have to fix. I just didn’t have the head space for it, plus without telling her the whole truth I don’t know if she would understand. Plus, I still didn’t know how things would turn out and I didn’t want her complicit in any of my mistakes.Ruby, God love her I didn’t know if she would be right for how I’m feeling now, slightly buzzed broken hearted and bruised. She would just tell me to get over a guy by getting under another. Which may have worked the last time but after the assault from Joe, that was the last thing I wanted, even kissing that guy at the bar made my stomach churn.Then there was Millie, she was probably the perfect option for this, although
StephanieI had been so happy to see Jake there in that room, I felt like I hadn’t breathed until I saw him held him. He came for me he really came!He was my life line I had held onto him for as long as I could I didn’t miss the exchanged between him and Todd the expression on his face as his jaw tensed when the guard came back in. I clutched onto his words like a life line.‘I’m not leaving without you,’‘I will always find you,’‘Just a few more hours,’I replayed them over and over again in my mind, they brought me comfort he was here.Don’t get me wrong I was still scared out of my mind but knowing he was just the other side of the budling helped. The guard pulled the door open the heavy metal door clanging.‘I wouldn’t get too comfortable doll,’ he said as he ushered me in closing then locking the door behind me. Was he being sarcastic? This concreate cell had a bucket and a hollowed-out metal frame for a bed. No wonder I had woke up on the floor.It was lighter now; I could act
JakeWhat the fuck just happened.My heart was pounding and my head was spinning, I swore I would protect her from this and I failed they had pulled her from my arms. I had held onto her so tightly I knew I left bruises. I felt guilty for that and everything else.The dick head of a policeman forbade me from coming down saying that as I was her husband I wasn’t able to represent her as her attorney. I almost decked him one if James and Daniel hadn’t been there to pull me off him I would have.The second her car disappeared I told them to find out where they were taking her I ran upstairs I need to feel like I was doing something productive. It was late but I didn’t give a shit I called the number again and again until he picked up.‘Get your ass out of bed I need you!’ I yelled running my hands through my hair, every second counted I needed to know where she was, I needed to fucking see her to know if she was okay.I knew she fucking wasn’t.That looks she gave me before they took her
StephanieThere was a buzzing in my ears and everything went in slow motion, I looked around seeing everyone’s shocked faces. Jake was holding me tight which I think is the only reason I was still upright. I knew he was speaking but I couldn’t make out the words it sounds like I was underwater.My heart was hammering in my chest as I tried to focus on what was going on I caught sight of Jess’s face the worry she held made me nervous. This was real.I pinched myself even so not knowing what to do, wake up Steph wake up!When the policeman grabbed hold of my wrist pulling me from Jake’s hold it suddenly all felt far too real all my fears confirmed as the handcuffs clicked onto my wrist, the heavy metal clanging.‘-anything you do say can and will be used against you!’ the policemen said.‘Let her go this instant you have no right!’ Jake bellowed as his friends stood holding him back.‘Sir I’ve got a warrant don’t make me arrest you too!’ The policeman glared as another one came over tur
JakeI had been on the phone all morning about this court order Stephanie had received the charges were bullshit too but everyone I called no one was speaking. I wanted this out the way after watching her look so scared after her nightmare I never wanted to see that expression on her face.After several hours I decided I was going to have to wait until tomorrow, I needed my team and I wasn’t getting anywhere on a Sunday. I had time the court date was not for several weeks so I pushed it from my mind, I left my office searching the apartment to find her, she must be worried it was my job to make sure she wouldn’t be.I eventually found her in the little lounge or reading nook as she called it, the place was the size of a library I found her tucked up asleep with the blanket wrapped around her reading Tess of the D’Urbervilles sitting loosely in her lap.I knelt down stroking her hair back even in her sleep there was a small frown on her face. our guests would be arriving soon I had arr
CarterHow dare she! I was furious she had fucking married him if she thought she could just waltz off into the sunset and forget me then she was out of her fucking mind.‘Hold still,’ I grunted as I slapped her about as I drilled into the little whore underneath me. I pictured Stephanie’s face as I looked down at her, dark brown hair just like hers. I yanked it back tight making her cry out.‘I’ll teach you to disobey me!’ I yelled as I fucked her hard she cried I smacked her again as I pulled her head up wrapping my hands around her throat tightly, I could hear the slapping of skin and her cries of pain but I didn’t give a shit. When I get my hands on her she is going to learn to never cross me.‘Fuck!’ I grunted as I came before pushing her to the floor where she collapsed whimpering, I scuffed my hand down my face, looking at her now she looked so similar to her, I could almost picture it.‘Get out,’ I whispered as she struggled to get off the floor picking up her discarded clothe
StephanieJake still had that look in his eye, it had taken so many rounds of sex for it to go. He was back to his normal self as we packed up our stuff from our own little island. He slapped my ass making me yelp, it was still sore from the spanking session I had received already this morning.‘Hurry up love,’ he gave me a cocky smile as he looks over his shoulder snickering at the look I give him as I rub my sore ass. He disappears into the bathroom and I smile feeling relaxed, the only time we argue is when it’s about me. He can be a little over protective I wondered what he was thinking about to making him so worried. I couldn’t think of anything the case from hell was over so it was just work as normal.We had to be back as we were having a little gathering with friends and family to welcome us back from home. It would be nice to see everyone again, Jake had actually suggested it so we had something to look forward to when we got home. Plus, he told me as the boss he can do what
StephanieI screamed as we got off the plane! How amazing was my husband! I looked at him he looked so hot in his white shirt, shorts and boat shoes that I wanted to have him right then and there, he just gave me his usual cocky smirk as he led the way to our private hut and our own island in the Maldives. The journey had been long but when you have your own jet with a bed in it there were plenty of ways to pass the time. I couldn’t even face them when we landed too embarrassed for all the noise I had made.He took my hand as we walked up to the only hut, it had our own private beach and pool with a full stocked fridge, there was a little boat to take us to the main part of the resort where we could socialize with everyone or eat out for dinner.I had changed into a blue tasseled dress with my bikini on underneath paired sandals, he had also given me an anklet as part of my wedding present it sparkled like the sun with the mix of diamonds and sapphires he hand-picked as he said they m
JakeThe wedding had been perfect, there was a brief moment when Tara showed up when we’re doing our vows that I was worried about. When she saw the look on both mine and mum’s faces she didn’t even need escorting out. I was worried that she could have ruined what was a perfect day, my little doe didn’t even seemed to have registered from the dreamy stare she was giving me.Having her by my side officially mine was perfect, I couldn’t describe the feeling of it. I felt whole. The whole day had been perfect, I was worried about my speech I wanted her to remember this moment for me to actually tell her the depth of my love for her.When I saw my little doe’s eyes widen and almost tear up the widest smile on her face I knew she understood, she was my all and I wasn’t afraid to admit it. I watched as mum’s face softened at that point also I wanted the women in my life to get along, Katie seemed taken with Stephanie I just hoped one day mum would be the same.I sneaked a kiss after my spee
StephanieIt was finally the day of the wedding and I hadn’t slept at all last night, my mind kept going over everything that still needed to be done. I wanted everything to be perfect for us, Jake kept telling me not to worry that it will all come together in the end but even so I still felt like there was something I had missed.‘Steph! Did you sleep at all?’ Sabrina wakes me we had all stayed at the venue the night before something that Jake wasn’t thrilled about, secretly I wasn’t either I missed him too much!‘Hmm? Uh yeah I think so,’ I mumble feeling like I either slept for 2 minutes or 2 days not knowing where I was. Sabrina sighs shaking her head as she looks at me, before I can even think of rolling over and going back to sleep Ruby and Millie burst through the door from their adjourning room. I groaned into the pillow as they opened up the blackout curtains, I caught a glimpse of the clock – 6am! Surely on my own wedding day I don’t need to be up now!‘Gurl get yourself in
