Vivienne is seated by the window in the bus. The bus slows down to its station.
The Port Authority Bus Terminal.
As the bus door swings open, she steps down onto the concrete floor, her eyes scanning the bustling station in search of her sister. Vivienne is the younger version of Roxanne, physically. However, instead of Roxanne's blonde hair, she has their father's dark hair. She adjusts her glasses still trying to locate her sister in the night's crowd. She makes her way through the crowd, her backpack over one shoulder, her sneakers constantly pinching her toes as she walked. She spots a vacant seat, she walks to it and sinks into the worn plastic with a sigh of relief. She takes off her sneakers and rubs her feet. She pulls out her phone, her thumbs flying across the screen as she fires off a text to her sister. "I'm here already, Sis. Where are you? My feet hurts". She clicks send and waits for a response.
"You want me to go harder, Pet?" Jaxon asks as he spanks her while thrusting.
"Yes." Roxanne moans. Smack! "Yes what?" "Yes, master. Ohhh please don't stop." She begs.Jaxon smiles. Roxanne is bent over a table with har hands tied behind her back and her eyes blindfolded. A spreader bar is holding her legs apart. He's enjoying her moans and the view.
Roxanne's moans fills the room. Thank God Mrs Anderson wasn't anywhere around. She'd have been so ashamed.
"You drive me crazy, Pet." Jaxon leans in and kisses her neck. He holds her up by her neck and keeps thrusting into her.
"Oh my goodness! Ohhh master!" Roxanne is whimpering now, a sign that she is close.
Vivienne texted Roxanne again but got no reply. She decided to call.
"Hi hi there, it's Roxy, I'm not available right now. Kindly leave a message. Beep.""Great! Voicemail!" She muttered.
"Hey sis, I've been at the bus station for an hour now. Where are you? Please call me soon or text me your address." Vivienne sent the voicemail. She sighed. "Now I wish you didn't move from New Jersey." She added.For another hour, there's still no response from Roxanne. Vivienne called and texted. The stars had disappeared from the sky and the wind was suddenly chilly. The rain was coming. She was about to place another call but to her friend, Celia.
"Hello,Miss." A boy of about fifteen approached her. He was wearing a blue hoodie and black pants.
"Hi." Vivienne replied. "How may I help you?" She asked. The question sounded so ironic as she was the one who needed help at the moment."I am lost. I can't find my mum. Could you lend me your phone so I can call her and tell her where I am?" The boy asked.
Vivienne felt sorry for him. "Sure, why not. Here you go." She handed him her phone."Gee! Thanks." The boy said and proceeded to make the call.
A can hit Vivienne on the head. She turned to see the thrower but only saw other passengers waiting around. When she turned back around, she noticed that the boy was gone."Hey!" She saw him running off. "Give me back my phone,you thief!" She said and chased after him.
"Somebody, help! That kid has my phone!" She yelled. Two men came to her aid and began to chase after the hooded boy.They finally caught him. However,when they held him, it wasn't the same person who had taken her phone.
"I didn't take any phone. I don't even know her." The boy said. Vivienne is speechless. The men searched him but found nothing on him."But...but..." She stuttered.
"Sorry for the misunderstanding, chap." One of the men said and let him go."You've got to be very careful,Kid. This is New York. You don't go about accusing people." One of the men said sternly.
Vivienne tried to speak but her voice betrayed her. The men then left her.
She could feel the raindrops on her body. She broke into a sob.
Roxanne is sprawled on the bed, exhausted from the hour-long intense activity. Jaxon had stepped out to get some drinks.
Her hand instinctively reached for the phone, but as her eyes landed on the screen, her face froze. It was as if she had just snapped out of some kind of hypnosis. Her face suddenly becomes pale. Her eyebrows furrowed into a frown and her eyes began to feel moist with tears. Her lips quiver. Guilt tugged at every fiber of her being. The realization hit her like a heavy bag of dirty gym socks. she had forgotten her sister, alone and stranded on a rainy night in New York.
"Oh my God! Viv! Oh no no no!" She jumped up and rushed to the bathroom. It was past 10pm now. She hadn't noticed her phone popping up with texts. It was raining heavily now. She dialed Viv's number but it wasn't going through. She dressed up quickly. She didn't even tie her hair up properly.
She rushed out of the room. She found Jaxon coming up with glasses of water.
"Where are you going?" He asked. "My sister. She's been texting me since eight. It's raining. She's alone. She's stranded. Oh Viv! I'm so sorry!" She said all at once. Jaxon could tell that she was in a state of panic."Hey, calm down, alright. I'm going to get dressed and we can go to the bus station." His voice was calm. Roxanne noded. Jaxon dropped the glasses and went up to get a shirt.
When he returned, Roxanne was pacing back and forth, muttering that she was sorry."Let's go." Jaxon said.
He was now holding an umbrella. The rain was quite heavy. Roxanne hoped that her sister was fine. "Oh God! I'm so filthy." She says.
"Hey! Relax. Your sister is going to be fine and you're not filthy. If you were, I'd not have come to you." He said. Roxanne didn't say anything but continued sobbing.
________________________________________"Thanks for coming to get me, Celia." Vivienne is in a cab with a girl of about the same age. She had brown hair.
"Oh, it's nothing. I'm just happy to see you." Celia hugged her. Vivienne had been able to borrow someone's phone to call Celia. She had written down emergency numbers in her journal. Since Roxanne wasn't available for some reason, she called her childhood friend. Celia wasted no time in coming to pick her up , at least before the rain got too heavy to find a willing cab.
______________________________
"Please have you seen this girl?" Roxanne asked from one passenger to another, showing them Vivienne's picture on her phone. She got negative replies.This made her feel angrier at herself.
"Please let's go to the police station." She begs Jaxon.
"The police can't declare her missing until after twenty-four hours. I suggest we just go back home and wait."
Roxanne flashed him a look. One that was hot enough to melt metal.
"Go home and wait? My sister is missing and it's because of me, because of us. I was too busy with you! " She yelled.Jaxon looked around. Only a few people were paying attention to them.
" Come on, Pet, don't be like that.""Don't call me that!" She yelled.
"Look, Roxanne, I get it, you're mad and worried but that isn't going to find your sister. Let's go back and wait till tomorrow." Jaxon insisted and tried to drag her off.
"Don't you dare touch me. You're nothing but a selfish sex monster. You don't get it do you? No! You absolutely don't. You don't have a sibling who's missing on a stormy night, do you? Heck! I don't think you have a family to get worried about. I do. I'll go look for my sister and I don't care if you are coming or not!" She said and then walked away from him.
He didn't try calling her back. He thought she'd turnaround but she didn't. Instead, she hailed a taxi.
Jaxon got into his car and drove off.

"I wasn't expecting you here, Jax. Why didn't you call?" Loo asked as she let Jaxon in. His clothes were a bit soaked.
"Sorry for the impromptu visit, Louise." He said. She offered him a bottle of tequila and a glass but he opened the bottle and drank directly from it.
"Someone is in a big mood tonight. Well, relax and I'll help with the tension." She smiled seductively. She used a napkin as a blindfold and went down on her knees.
Jaxon throws his head backward as he feels her hands on his zipper. He's not fully aroused yet but Loo can work wonders with her fingers.
"You'll be up in no time." Loo purrs.
She began to suck on him. Head bopping up and down and her mouth making sloppy sounds and letting out moans.
Loo was pretty good.
He holds her head in place and his mind goes to Roxanne doing the same thing to him. Yes Roxanne isn't as good as Loo was but he wants her lips around him.
"Do you like that, daddy?" Loo asks.
Jaxon stops her.
"What's wrong? Loo takes off her blindfold. Jaxon is up and doing his zipper.
"I've got to go now, Loo. I'll see you some other time." He says.
"But we just started." Loo protests.
"I'll send you some money for the trouble." He says and the leaves the apartment.
Loo is stunned.
"What the hell just happened?" She asks herself. She hears his car roaring away.Roxanne stared at her scattered apartment and sighed. Things were broken and all over the place. She was damp and her mind was still unsettled. She still hadn't been able to reach Viv. "We can't declare her missing till it's twenty-four hours." The pretty police officer had said to her. "Oh Viv! Please be fine! " She prayed silently as she made her way to the room to take off her wet clothes. If only she hadn't been too carried away, too busy working. Or was it satisfying her urges? She couldn't find the line anymore. It was entirely blurred out. She kept staring at her phone, hoping she'd get another text or something. Perhaps someone would call her for ransom if Viv had been kidnapped. "Dear God, please." She prayed. Jaxon paced back and forth in his room. He couldn't get her off his mind. Her blue eyes had turned into burning blue flames. She was angry, yet he could still smell her innocence. It was driving him crazy. He had left Loo and now he was home, turned on with no s
"Why weren't you at work, princess?" Jaxon repeated the question. He had closed the gap between them. Roxanne tried to speak but nothing came out. "Cat got your tongue?" He taunted. Jaxon towered over her, his gold and green eyes burning her pale blue ones. Her eyes fluttered beneath his gaze, his chiseled features dominating her small one. The air thickened as he leaned in, his presence suffocating, yet tantalizing. She could smell alcohol on his breath, with a mixture of cologne and manliness. Her breath caught in her throat, a tiny gasp escaping her lips. Her skin prickled with gooseflesh, a shiver coursing down her spine. His eyes bore into hers, a hint of amusement dancing in their depths. Her face flushed, a crimson hue spreading like wildfire. She trembled, her knees weakening, as if the ground beneath her feet had turned to sticky mud. His gaze lingered, a slow, deliberate perusal, leaving her feeling exposed, vulnerable... and strangely, alluringly, alive."I..uh...had to
"Pleased to see you, Princess." Jaxon's face held a smirk while his left hand held a glass of red wine. He was shirtless. Roxanne gulped as her eyes ran his body from head to toe. She was scared of him and at the same time turned on by the air of dominance around him. "Pleased to see you too, Sir." She managed to reply. Jaxon ushered her in. "A glass for the beautiful lady." Jaxon offered her a glass which she took and clutched on it like her life depended on it. Jaxon was a man of little words, so she knew what exactly she must do. She gulped down the wine and made her way upstairs with her overnight bag. "That's a good girl. Going straight to business. I'm right behind you." He said from behind her. Roxanne studied the bedroom. The last time she had been here, he'd made her bend over a table with her legs spread apart with a bar. She wondered what he was going to do to her next. "Hey, Princess!" Jaxon's voice made her jump as he stepped inside the room. His eyes roamed her body
It's been over six hours now. Roxanne couldn't sit still. The surgeons haven't stepped out of the theater since they began the surgery. Her aunt kept praying and trying to ask the nurses how it was going. She began to have an headache and then another nurse took her to a ward to rest."You need to rest, Ma'am, your blood pressure is on the rise." The kind nurse said. "Go with her, Tia. I'll be here for a while and then I'll go to the chapel." IN THE THEATER:Monitors beeped as the doctors, glistened in sweat, worked tirelessly to finish the surgery. The lines on the monitor began to go downwards and the monitor began to beep."We're losing him, Doctor. We can't lose him now. The procedure is done." One of the doctors said. " His body is trying to reject the heart. But it's a match." Another said. " He's having a cardiac arrest. Quick! We can't lose him." He added. The first doctor plugged in the defibrillators. "One, two, three!" The devices sent electricity into his heart. "He
Roxanne's father was discharged a few days later. "You know you don't have to come with us to New Jersey, Amor. You have work and we don't want that kind boss of yours getting angry." Her aunt said. Mr Santos was in a wheelchair. " Who's this boss Liliana can't stop talking about, Amor?" He asked. "Oh, mi hermano, Master Jaxon Hearst. He paid your bills. He's such a kind and handsome and sweet and loving... " Liliana kept talking. " Tia, that's enough. He's my boss Papa, Tia is only exaggerating his qualities." Roxanne wheeled her father to the reception. "Get better, Mr Santos." The nurses greeted as they passed. " Thank you for taking care of me. " The man replied with smiles. " So, about this boyfriend of yours.. "" Boss, Papa, Boss. He's my boss not my boyfriend." Roxanne quickly interjected. " Whoever he is, I shall like to express my gratitude. " " I'll be sure to let him know that." " You know, I think he likes you." Liliana spoke again in a bid to tease Roxanne. "
"Uhmmm." Roxanne moaned softly in her sleep. She could tell she wasn't in her room. It smelled different and the bed felt bigger. As Roxanne slowly opens her eyes, the morning light peeking through the window blinds highlights the chiseled features of Jaxon beside her. His strong jawline and nose are accentuated by the gentle rise and fall of his chest, and his dark eyelashes cast a shadow on his cheeks. His lips, slightly parted, seem to curve into a subtle smile, even in slumber. The soft morning light dancing across his face makes his skin appear radiant, and his tousled hair adds a hint of endearing messiness to his otherwise chiseled appearance. Roxanne's gaze lingers on Jaxon's peaceful expression, and her heart skips a beat as she takes in the sight of him. She feels a flutter in her chest, and her face warms with a soft blush as she realizes she's been gazing at him for moments, lost in the beauty of his sleeping form.Just as she's drinking in the sight of him, Jaxon's eyes
Jaxon felt his eyes roll to the back of his head as Roxanne's wetness enveloped his length slowly. She had a glint of mischief in her eyes as she lowered herself on him. "Oh so good! You like that, Master? You like the feel of my wetness on you?" She asked as she began to ride him slowly. Jaxon sat back into his office chair, holding her short skirt up. She was in control and for some reason, he was loving it. "F**k! Princess! You don't know what you do to me. Keep going! Don't you dare stop! " He says, his voice ragged and his eyes flaming with a burning hunger. Roxanne began to move her hips in a circular motion. "Oh you feel so good inside of me." She moans. Jaxon feels himself close. He doesn't want this to end just yet. "Get on the table." He orders. Roxanne gets off him and sits on the large brown office table, careful not to tear the documents on them or sit on his computer. "You're so beautiful, Princess. I can't get over your taste." With this, Jaxon buries his face in
Three knocks on Roxanne's door was enough to get her up. "Who is it?" She asked. She thought it was Mrs Anderson doing her daily sheet check. She checked her phone, it was just seven in the morning. Way too early. "Open up, Princess." Jaxon's voice sounded from outside. " Mr. Jaxon, Sir? " She asked just to be sure as she was too sleepy. " What other confirmation do you need, Pet? Open up." Roxanne could hear the impatience in his voice. She grudgingly got out of bed and went to open the door. "Good Morning, Princess." Jaxon's lips crashed roughly on hers. He tasted of coffee. He'd been up for a while, she figured. "Sir?" Roxanne broke the kiss. "Come on, Princess, you know why I'm here. You said your period would be gone by today. I'm here now." Jaxon grabbed her and kissed her again. He really was very impatient. " But sir, I haven't even showered to clean up yet. And it's just seven in the morning, Sir." Roxanne tried to get out of his grip but his arms were firmly on her
The doctor smiled as he discharged Roxanne and Chloe from the hospital. "You two be careful, okay? No more sneaky cupcakes."Roxanne laughed, her eyes sparkling. "I promise, doctor. I'll be more careful from now on."The doctor's expression turned serious. "Roxanne, you shouldn't eat things you don't know their full contents, not unless you make them yourself. And I really don't want to see you anytime soon. Try to bring your blood pressure down too."Freddy, holding Roxanne's hand, spoke up. "Don't worry, doctor. I'll make sure she rests and takes all her medications."Jaxon walked quietly behind the group, his eyes fixed on Roxanne. "Thank you for everything, doctor," he said, his voice low.As they reached the parking lot, Roxanne hesitated beside Jaxon's car. "Freddy, maybe we should take a cab," she suggested, her eyes avoiding Jaxon's.But Cynthia, anticipating this, smiled brightly. "No problem, I brought my other car, and my driver can take Freddy and Roxanne home while I take
Loo's smile was wide as she addressed the club workers. "So, first, I want to appreciate you all for keeping this club alive. It is by your very dedication that we keep growing. The customers are happy to return because of our flawless services." She paused, her eyes shining with gratitude. "Thank you all so much."The workers applauded and cheered, their faces beaming with appreciation. Freddy whispered to Roxanne, "I've never seen her like this." Roxanne whispered back, "There must be something in the air tonight." They giggled, their eyes sparkling with mischief.Loo's gaze landed on Roxanne, her smile masking her anger and sarcasm. "How's your father, now Roxanne?" she asked, her voice sweet. "I hope you've been taking care of him properly on those leaves you take?"Roxanne replied, "Yes, Ma'am, thank you." Her smile was equally wide.Loo reached for the basket behind her, a delicious aroma filling the room. "So, I've brought a little something for us to celebrate with... Cupcakes
Jordan dressed up in Merida's hotel room, his eyes fixed on her as she lay on the bed, a blanket covering her body. Merida's eyes also roamed his body, a flush coming on her cheeks. Jordan chuckled and winked at her. He asked, "What business brought you here, Merida?"Merida's voice was soft. "I have a client here who requested a face-to-face meeting. He's willing to pay a huge sum for our consultancy services, so I couldn't pass it up. Plus, it's an excuse to see you. I've missed you."Jordan smiled, his eyes sparkling at the corners, and his dimples flashing at her. "I've missed you too."Merida continued, "I was thinking... maybe we could get to know each other better?"Jordan's response was reassuring. "That's not an issue, Merida. I'd be glad to take this step with you."Merida's gratitude was palpable. "Thank you, Jordan. You're a good man. Please don't be angry with me for doing this rather slowly."Jordan's expression was understanding. "I know you're coming from a bad relatio
Roxanne's eyes fluttered open, her head throbbing with a dull ache. She was slightly dizzy, and her surroundings were blurry. As the mist cleared from her eyes, she realized she was in a hospital bed, her aunt sitting beside her."Thank goodness you're awake," her aunt exclaimed, relief etched on her face. "What happened?"Roxanne's mind was foggy, but she tried to remember. "I...I don't know," she stammered. "I was in an elevator...and...and... That's all I remember." She added. Her aunt filled in the blanks. "Jaxon brought you here and called me. The doctor said you suffered from heatstroke and your blood pressure was a bit high. But don't worry, you'll be discharged soon."Roxanne sat up, her aunt helping her adjust the pillows. Just then, a knock on the door interrupted them. Jaxon entered, his eyes locked onto Roxanne's face.Her expression changed, her eyes flashing with anger. Her aunt didn't notice, excusing herself to give them privacy. "I'll be outside if you need anything.
Roxanne sat in her family's cozy living room, surrounded by the warmth and love of her aunt, Elena, and her father. For the past two days, she had been helping them take care of her father, making sure he recovered well from his illness.As they chatted and laughed together, her father's concerned expression turned to her job. "What of your job, mi'ja?" he asked, his eyes filled with worry.Roxanne's aunt joined in, "Yes, Amor, what of your job? Won't your boss be angry at you for leaving without permission?"Roxanne smiled reassuringly. "It's fine, Papa, Tia. Papa's health is important."Her father's eyes softened, and he turned to Elena. "I'm fine, really. Your aunt and Elena take good care of me here. You should resume work. Isn't that right, Elena?"Elena's warm smile supported Roxanne's father. "Your father speaks well, Roxanne."Roxanne's sigh was subtle, but her eyes revealed a hint of relief. She was using this time as a break from everything related to Jaxon, but she didn't w
Jaxon's eyes darted between Loo and Cynthia, his face a picture of confusion and anger. "What?" he asked, his voice low and even.Loo's glare at Cynthia was fierce, but she remained silent. Cynthia, on the other hand, was unphased. "If she's tongue-tied, allow me to help her out," she said with a small laugh.Loo's eyes flashed with anger, but she still didn't speak. Cynthia continued, "Your thing, here interrupted my lunch the other day, accusing me of sleeping with you, calling herself your girlfriend."Jaxon's gaze snapped to Loo, his eyes blazing with anger. "What? Loo, is this true?" he demanded.Loo opened her mouth to speak, but Cynthia cut her off. "Just last night, she set me up with one of your girls, Chloe. God, I really liked that girl. She tasked her to record us as we had sex."" Loo! Is this true?" His voice is stern. He tries keeping his voice low so as not to get eyes on them. "But she was a snub and...and..." Loo stuttered. Jaxon's voice thundered, making nearby pa
Roxanne's eyes fluttered open, her head throbbing in time with the shrill ring of her phone. Sia's "Chandelier" blasted through the speaker, making her wince. She lay on a blanket on the floor, her apartment a mess around her. Wine bottles and junk food wrappers scattered everywhere.As she sat up, her eyes fell on Cynthia, who lay asleep beside her, and, the vibrator laying carelessly next to her. Their clothes were scattered around them, and realisation hits her. Roxanne's face flushed as she remembered the events of the previous night.But before she could recall everything, her phone rang again. She picked it up, her heart racing as she saw her aunt's name on the screen."Roxanne! Where have you been? I've been trying to reach you," her aunt's panicked voice came through the line.Roxanne's worry spiked. "I'm sorry, Tia, I didn't hear my phone ring. What's the problem?"There was a pause, and then her aunt's voice broke through tears. "It's your father, he's suffered a seizure."

Loo's eyes widened in horror, her face clouded in anger and disbelief. "No...no...this can't be..." she screamed, her voice echoing through the room. She pushed the pictures off the table, her hands shaking with rage."Roxanne...She...She's the man stealer?" she stuttered, her finger pointing at the pictures on the ground. Her eyes were wild with disbelief, her face red with anger.Sentinel watched her, his expression a mix of surprise and sympathy. "I tried drawing your attention to it, but you dismissed it," he said, his voice gentle but blunt.Loo's eyes flashed with anger, her voice rising to a yell. "I can't believe this! Jaxon and...and...this classless low life?" She spat out the words, her hands clenched into fists."How long have you known, Sentinel?" She asks. Sentinel's eyes narrowed, his voice calm. "The night he invited you for dinner, she came minutes after you had left. And, as it seems, he took her on his getaway trip. I've been to her apartment, and her neighbor says
