TAKEN twenty
Marcus laid lifeless on the bed in his room and he stared at the ceiling recalling his short moment with Jenifer. All he had was questions running through his mind. How could he be so attracted to her during that short period of time. Or was it what they were watching? Her skin contact on his while they watched the video sent him a different type of spark than usual and he could feel the craving heat from his body. He tried to be strong, stronger than her while they watched but her hands on his body was putting him inside the video itself.The moans from the phone, the concentration and the silence in the room was an involuntary turn on and when his hands starts rubbing hers, he knew he wanted her. Like he did when they cuddled. At the same time, he didn't want to take advantage of her. He remembered how they met. She was his fitness instructor, who he even got angry at for giving him an advise that caused a fight with h
TAKEN twenty-one ~~~His mood had lighten up this morning and he was cheerful at work today. No hard feelings on Marcus but he really had a nice time with Stella yesterday. He hate to admit it, but the moment she went down on him in the bathroom. He was triggered. He lost all his mind. He wasn't thinking about his brother. Not at all. The pleasure was on a high standard and he would be lying to himself if he would not love another round. He had peacefully slept yesterday after his night with Stella and had taken work worries off his head. She was a stress reliever. Resuming back at work this morning, he would say, as hard as it was to cheer up. Flora occupied his brain again. He deliberately passed her office this morning. He had seen her, beautifully dressed and was focus on work. And since that time she had not been in his office. Usually she would report every file she worked on immediately she was done, but he guess she wanted to
TAKEN twenty two Marcus and Stella hadn't gotten off the bed since morning, except when they went for a duo bath. There was a glimpse of joy in both of them this morning and they seemed to do everything together They both laid there and laughed at the comedy show they were watching and Marcus was so happy he was getting back with Stella. Sex with her last night was a blast. He was certain she also enjoyed it, the moans were enough proof. And Stella wouldn't be so giddy this morning if she had not had a nice time. Marcus phone vibrates beside him and he picks it up to check the caller. When Jenifer displayed on his phone. His heart plumped. He didn't know how to receive her call right beside Stella, and he also felt guilty for walking out on her yesterday after his attempted kiss. He hadn't even called to check up on her or apologize for it. He was a douche bag.He picked it up before it went off and said a sentence before hanging
TAKEN twenty three "We are not friends!" she cautioned pointing one of her fingers at him to shun his remaining words. "And I'm a whole lot of things you don't know." she said.He held her hand tight as she tried unlocking the door. She couldn't meet his eyes, so she struggled from his grip. He wasn't going soft on her either. "I know this is about the kiss and I'm really sorry about yesterday. I'm sorry for getting too close that I almost took you for granted..." "You're sorry you almost kissed me or your sorry you left me hanging?!" "I..I.." "Marcus. We cuddled few days ago. There was a connection. It was different. I've not had something like that in months. There's this feeling I get when our skin touch. I feel so embarrassed that you don't feel the same. I like you Marcus and don't ever say we are friends. Cause we are not. How dare you apologize about trying to kiss me, w
TAKEN twenty four Allen walked into his room only to find Stella seating all sexy in her transparent lingerie, her hair packed in a bun and her legs crossed, her laps smooth like a map without a journey, her lips looking very soft and silky. She made more sexy positions and clinch to the bed tightly. He chuckled seeing her make those moves and slowly close his door ,resting his back there. "I love the fact I get dinner immediately I get home" he teased.She chuckle slightly too."Dinner wouldn't wait if it doesn't go down a sumptuous mouth".He laughed at her compliment."Where's Marcus?" Allen asked as his cells were slowly warming up. He needed more assurance to go on."He came home to take a shower, said he wouldn't be home tonight" she announced."He won't be home!" he was rather happy than surprised and he gave a short laugh as he start to pull of his shirt. He moved to where she sat and went on his knees, his finger trailed her leg u
TAKEN twenty five She cuddled him sweetly and smell his body. Not only was she happy but this would definitely continue. Sex with Marcus was great. She could savor the moment over and over again. She could openly say she loved him and she wants to live this moment “Good morning” Marcus softly greeted and kissed her forehead. She smiled at his morning greeting and yawned a bit. She stared at him sweetly and her worms jiggled at her experience with him last night. But she suddenly felt guilty some sort of way."Marcus.." she called. He turned to her, she sit up and melt her face a bit. He raise his brows at her. "I do not want you to see it like you cheated on Stella" she started. "Well-" he laughed. "Seems like it" he smirked. She chuckled."Would this happen again?" she nervously ask. Marcus didnt know how to reply to that. Would it happen again?. As long as the attraction is stil
TAKEN twenty six. Flora roll on Allen's chair in the office waiting patiently for him to come. After he had dropped her yesterday, sleeping alone was hell, she kept rolling on the bed and even had to drink alcohol for her to take a sleep. She didn't drink half a glass before she got drunk and slept off, but she woke up very early with a bad hangover and just rushed to work instead. She met just the security and the receptionist at the time she came and had sent message to her boss that she was at work because she couldn't sleep. She hoped he would come early ,but if he didn't, it was fine. Just like she was thinking, She saw Allen open the door and gave a nice smile.She had not expected him so early but she was happy he came."How was your night" Allen asked Flora who was sitting on his chair. He could see her night was not that good, her eyes was a bit swollen and he understands what it meant to sleep alone after not being use to it. He had seen other peo
TAKEN twenty seven The date has been going well. Allen and Flora have been having a nice time, till Allen was asked about his past relationship. He stopped eating his food and drop the spoon. His mood switch to a sad one and he roll his tongue in his mouth not sure of what to say. He was always trying to avoid talking about it. It hurts him. It hurts him too much to say it. She was his reason why he remained single for years, not ready to be committed to anyone. He didn't want to open old wounds. "Its okay if you don't want to..."Flora wanted to stop him." No you have to hear it. You won't ask me if you didn't want to hear it."His tone was a bit harsh,like he was saying the words angrily. Flora keep mute as she stared at him till he was ready to talk. She could sense a sad story. There was always a sad story in the thing of the past. Its something we were always meant to overcome. "Her name was Bella. She has s
TAKEN twenty eight Flora fell flat on her bed. Her date was nice with her boss, but she was sad she ruined it by asking that deep and personal question. She could understand the trauma one can go through losing a loved one and she didn't blame him for his breakdown. It was certainly tragic. She picked her phone and dialed Yvonne's number. It rang thrice before she picked up with broad smile. It was a different time of the day where she was, so the day was brighter and Flora could see her well in a room."I just got back from work. You?" Yvonne asked "Same. We worked late today, so..." she didn't dare tell Yvonne she went on a date. "Vonn who's that?" Flora heard another voice at the background and a female face pop into the screen. She waved with huge smiles too, although she wasn't seeing Flora's face well."Flora meet my roommate here" Yvonne introduced and Flora waved too. When she s
AUTHOR'S NOTE.LESSONS?Not all story has a morale lesson, but luckily TAKEN does. Being set in a Marriage standard, there was bound to be something to learn, maybe one or two or even more.You see, a big fact about fictional story is that 90 percentage of those reading can relate to 75 percent of the scenes and conflict because we are our own story.But note that if you're facing the same thing in a story you read, it doesn't have to end up the way the story did.I wouldn't point out the characters mistake as wrong nor would I point their achievement as right. Because we all have different point of view.Whatever felt right in this book to you is right and whatever is wrong to you is wrong. No matter what any other person says.FAVORITE CHARACTER?Maybe I should announce my favorite character. Haha. But it doesn't make any other character feel less important.Your favorite can be the Protagonist or the Antagonist

TAKEN EpilogueFive years laterMarcus stared numbly at the name encrypted on the grave plate, he didn't bring flowers today as he used to. In fact, it's been a long time he was here. He could see the previous ones had withered and so was his feelings. Instead he was there with a three year old girl and a woman in her early thirties beside him. And like he had informed them, he was just going to say his last bye to that woman he once married.He sighed and turned to the other graveyard right beside it.The only regrets he had was not saving Jenifer on time that day. He had seen the message, but he was didn't really think Stella was dangerous to that extent. It was a shame to see three bodies that day and it was the worse moment of his life.Everything came back to him like it was yesterday. How he saw Stella lay lifelessly on the ground that day and Jenifer all burnt up. When he found out about Stella still being pregnant ad losing the

Every other thing would be when she gets back with her husband. She knew Marcus would have found out then that she still had her baby. Whatever his reaction was would determine the next step she was going to take in releasing Flora.Rose was with Stella in this, she knew her marriage was not perfect and wanted to change her friend's own too. Friends should be there for each other isn't it. As much as she was hurt by what her own husband did to her, she still didn't want to leave him and she was making this clear to Stella too. They were not happy in their marriage but they were convenient. And she really believe that was importantStella and Rose walks round the roo
TAKEN fifty sevenYvonne stared despondently at Flora. It was like a wasted effort like she thought. Her doubts were obviously cleared and she didn’t need a reason to be here anymore. But it hurts her that Flora wouldn’t be coming with her. She had read about sexual change in taste but never experienced. She knew Flora’s was bound to happen because of her previous relationship and because she was the one who took the first step. But she didn’t want it this fast. She was always concerned about her job, but she still wanted Flora to stay with her.Flora was not happy she disappointed Yvonne when she had to fly down to pick her up, but she really wanted a life with Allen instead. She was more happy with him and wants to start a family in future. She had said sorry to Yvonne countless times. She knew sorry wasn’t going to change a thing, but that was what she could offer at the moment.She had come to pick her remaining stuff fr
TAKEN fifty six.Spencer didn’t understand what was going on in this family, but he definitely knew that it was a conflict he shouldn’t interfere in. But with the kind of amount Stella was offering him, he had to do what she wanted. As far he was going to be safe at the end. He had bargained a certain price for the job, he was not going to do it himself, so he still had other people to pay and he insisted on the high price for Stella.She literally agreed without much bargaining. “You listen and follow my instructions very well. Make sure you get a call from me confirming before you go ahead” she pointed.Spencer nod and gives her shake. “Nice doing business with you Stella” he said and gave a wink.If all the trouble was not so much, he literally wanted to lure her to bed. But he changed his mind, and he didn’t think she’ll let him anyway. She seemed too bothered herself.On getting home, Stella barges
TAKEN fifty five.Maybe she had reconciled with her husband. But Stella definitely had other plans of hers. She had always had. She wouldn’t deny how happy she was to finally get Marcus to forgive her. She really thought she was going to lose the game this time around, but luckily, nature was on her side. Like she had expected, Yesterday sex with her husband was blissful like their marriage was before she destroyed it and before he finally destroyed it too. She didn’t think of Marcus as someone who would cheat on her and maybe that was what gave her too much guts to do so. Also, one cannot tell if eh would change in future. Rose had predicted something like this and it finally happened. Rose was more experienced in the Marriage contract and just like Stella, she had trusted her husband too much. Not until he started sleeping around too. She definitely wanted the best for her friend, so she warned her beforehand. At first Stella was adamant about cheating on Marcus,
TAKEN Fifty four It was his turn to have more frequent sleepless night like Stella have been having. Turned out he was an asshole himself shouting and making a scene about his wife when he was doing the same shit secretly with an excuse of trying to save his marriage. Could Jenifer be right? Stella could suspect them both. But Stella knowing about it? He didn't think so. Marcus couldn't get enough sleep at night. He just kept thinking about what Jenifer had told him. He was caught by mum and that was why she left, she must have been so disappointed in her son, doing the same thing their father did, no one to lay an example. Well maybe Allen was the good one. He was obviously from the mother side. But if Stella knew about it why was she keeping cool. He decided to ask her. But how was he going to do that. He didn't want to be too direct too. He turned to Stella, her eyes was closed as he watch her sleep. Was it time to for

Stella made him promise he would attend.They all sat down at the decorated dining with food and wine on their table. Rose was the first to get up."Let's make a toast to a new life for my friend and Marcus"she raised her glass up"No. not yet"Stella cuts in.
