••••🍀RACHEL🍀|Manhattan,New York|Collins Manor|:|A Month Later|:“You haven’t eaten from your plate, my love. Do you want to have something else?” Father asked.We were having breakfast in the gazebo of the central garden that circumnavigated the paths that led to other peculiar gardens.My father lived a lavished lifestyle. Everything was to his disposal, he could afford anything he ever wanted due to his purchasing power. Unlike the satisfaction that wealth brought, it can never be substituted for happiness. I sighed, cutting into the Confit De Canard(Duck Confit) with aid of my cutleries. A French dish comprising of duck meat, salted and boiled in oil and then preserved in a cool place.It was my favorite dish as a child, thus, my father always made sure that it was specially prepared by one of the best chefs in the world and served to me whenever I wanted.I was spoiled by him. A spoilt brat who always had her way as long as the name Blake was concerned.Due to my father’s nature of
April 16th,2003” Reece said, he had his eyes on Ryan.“Stop worrying too much about that date and just enjoy the party.” Father said, pouring himself some champagne in a wineglass.Father looked like he was in doubts, he kept glancing at me, as though he was observing my body.I stared at Reece, his eyes kept darting at Jake in the most suspicious manner. It made me want to ask if he had met him before now.“... and now, since we don’t intend to waste your time, may the auctioning begin.” He said.***** The auction had ended, everyone stood as the chairs and tables were moved aside. Mingling and mixing up with other aristocrats wasn’t my thing. I stood in a pretty dark corner close to the large balcony, chugging on a bottle of champagne. I can’t be seen by Ryan, worse, I don’t want to have a conversation with him.My heart kept thumping.Why am I here?I should have refused to come. I should have feigned sickness or something.My face drooped, I felt really tired and my toes were sore.
••••♠️RYAN♠️ Out of the curtains, stood thousands of people, clapping as I move out to reveal myself to the public.It was a drastic decision I made, though I prefer the much needed privacy, this was all part of the strategy.After making my speech and unveiling the sculpture, the bidding commenced. One thing I love about aristocrats, is their ability to showcase their purchasing power.And as I thought, Collins Blake would go for it.Even a blind man could tell that that’s a sculpture of Rachel scrumptious body. I am pretty sure Collins wanted to buy it off because he may have suspected it to be hers. I know Collins, protector of his self acclaimed dignity and imagine having a man do a naked, faceless sculpture of your daughter’s body, I am sure you would want to buy it off immediately.$40m,and Collins wins the auction.I left the stage to go have a word with Alec Macquarie, a high school friend of mine who was a renowned pathologist.He was the one who helped me in secur
“It did. Why are you concerned about that date?” I asked.He took out a lighter from his pants’-pocket,lighting the bottom of the cigar with it.“Nothing. It’s just a stupid date. Reece said something about the date coinciding with a past we’ve forgotten. A man named Ryan Trautvein who got killed that night...” he glanced at me,“... come to think of it,you said a night that...”“It was just a night of discovery,Collins. You shouldn’t be too forward with your thinking and start assuming baseless things.” I said,cutting him off.He frowned,his eyes were slowly observing me. He then let out a smile.“Come have breakfast with me two days from tonight. I wanna host you to a treat.”“What if I pass?” I asked,smiling back at him.“You wouldn’t dare,you know...” he patted my shoulders,beaming with smiles,“... you are way too tall,Mr Jake. Reminds of me of that traitor,Ryan. The goddamn son of a whore whom I took pity on and gave him a life. If not for me,he would have died alongside his family
⚫️REECE⚫️ Collins called for a meeting in his lodge,it was almost midnight. Many thoughts ran through my head.Firstly,that motherfuckin’ two-faced gangster... Jake De Vande.How is it possible for him to maintain both profiles?A famous artist and sculptor.That’s not all,he is having an affair with Rachel.I scowled.“Are you okay,Reece?” Collins asked.“I’m fine.”“You look like you gonna shoot someone in the head. Anything the matter?” He asked.“I said,I’m fine.”Everywhere was silent.We sat in the parlor,having a bottle of wine together.Collins cleared his throat.“It was a wast of my money to have bought that piece of junk.”“That’s because it’s Rachel naked body that was being sculpted.” “I can’t agree less,Reece. The sculptor himself,Deamus or whatever that he is called. There is something familiar about him.” He said.“Pfft. I thought I was the only one who noticed it.” I said,folding my arms acRyan my chest.“Reece,You have the resources. You call the shots here. I want you to pu
🍀RACHEL🍀|9:05am|Birds chirping softly as the day brightens, the sun rays hitting my face, I could perceive the smell of coffee. I opened my eyes slowly to my consciousness, staring at the lavished ceiling up above me. I heard taps and clicks, I looked down to see Ryan was sitting behind a desk, working on a laptop. A steaming coffee mug stood beside the table with a plate of sandwiches. His hair was tousled, still, it didn’t matter to me. This man, he is so handsome, sometimes I would wonder if he was made out of a faintly told fairytale.He was wearing a round-neck, loose, long sleeved grey shirt, with matching grey sweatpants.He looked encrossed in whatever he was doing.I sighed... what a man.A pleasing sight to behold. His eyes glanced at me and then, he smiled.“Awake?” He asked.The deep tones of his rich, manly voice brushed against my subconsciousness so erotically. It made me blush.I slowly sat up from the bed.“Yes...” a sharp pain seared across my back, making me wince
♠️Ryan♠️ |Evening| 7:54pm|: I went out to a grocery store to get few stuffs to restock the refrigerator. I had returned to my apartment and I had Patricia waiting for me in the car outside.I picked her up from work as we promised and I was to drive her home. Also, the car was low on fuel. A fueling station was very close to the store, and that’s just fine.After swiping my card, I nodded at the cashier with a smile on my face. We have been talking for a while and laughing over stuffs. She smiled back, returning the card to me.“I can’t see your face properly, the cap’s covering the substantial details. But, you’ve got a very cute smile.” She flattered.“So do you too, ma’am. I should be going now. Some other time.” I said, picking up with plastic bags with the groceries, beverages and drinks in them.“Later!” She said in a melodious tone, waving at me as I walked out of the store.The weather dropped drastically low.It seems it would be snowing earlier this year and thankfully,
angrily stormed into the parking lot.That worthless, old shit!How dare him kill Patricia right in front of my eyes?!!Did he just try to tell me that I am nothing?!!Did he just made me feel powerless?!!!Screw that old geezer and fuck him over!!!I reached where my car was parkedI am going to pound him into pieces!I’m gonna rip his eyes out!!Fucking old fool!!!“Jake!” A voice called.Rachel’s voice.I quickly turned around to see her approaching me.“What are you doing here?” I asked.“I didn’t come here to apologize to you about anything. I came to know, was she truly your girlfriend?” She asked.I frowned.“No... she was just a friend.”She stood in front of me.“But you kissed her and...”“Everything you saw, was just an act to convince your father.”“He killed her because of me, I know. I shouldn’t have...” she began sobbing,“... I was jealous... angry that you kissed her and called her your girl. I should have controlled my emotions, now she’s gone. I-I’m sorry, uncle Ryan. I truly am..
“It’s always fun with a little adventure, my love.” I can’t believe this man.what the hell is he thinking?!!!We moved into the balcony. Unfortunately for me, the rain had finally stopped.“Should I turn off the lights, Ryan?” Bella asked.I gritted my teeth.That fucking AI!!!Bitch of a home assistant.“Yeah and then play me some pop music.” He responded.The lights quickly went off and a rap track by Eminem started playing.I climbed down from him, his cock sliding out of me. I wrapped my arms around my boobs, staring down at the streets.‘How can he come up with such baloney?!’“This is ridiculous. Let go back to the bed.” I said, turning my head around to look at him.He moves closer, his hands in my waist.“No. Here is perfect. This way, I want to see the lights while I do it with you. I want to listen to the horns of vehicles while burrowing your insides. I want to...” he placed the tip of his cock on my ass, rubbing it gently on my skin.“... fuck your ass, right now.”I jolted.“No! No!!
“What’s the problem? You are crying...”I shook my head sideways.He touched my cheek.“If you don’t like it, I will stop. I promise, I won’t force it on you.”I wrapped my arms around his neck and I kissed him. “I like it. I like what you do to my body but uhm...” a blushed quickly stained my cheeks.He stroked the curls away from my forehead.“What is it?”I bit the corner of my upper lip, dreading what I was about to say.“Let’s role play.” I said.He raised his brows, expressing his surprise. “Role play?” He asked.I nodded.He chuckled, getting up from me while kneeling on the bed.He moved his hair backwards while his eyes were on me.“What do you know about role play?” He asked.I gave him a smirk.“Close your eyes.” He cocked a brow at me.“Like right now?”I nodded.He sighed, closing his eyes immediately.“I hope this ain’t some funny game?”I quietly took out the handcuffs I hid underneath the pillow behind me.“No.” I replied, sitting up on the bed and then taking his hands.I moved them b
It startled me The volume was decreased a bit. I dropped the coffee mug on the table as I walked to the door to check who it was.When I peeked through the peephole, it was...“Ryan!” I quickly opened the door, wrapping arms around him.“Adjussi, where have you been?” I asked, burying my face in his chest. His body was wet, still... he smelled so good.He was mute which was unusual.I looked up to see his face and his eyes were staring down at me with pain in them.“Adjussi?” I called.My eyes slowly trailed down his gray colored shirt and then, I saw it. Blood?! Blood stains?!!I left him, slowly moving away from him as I could not believe my eyes.‘Is he hurt?’“Rachel...?” He moved in, closing the door behind him.“What happened to you? Why is blood on your shirt?” I asked.He went mute again.He approached me but I kept moving backwards.“Rachel... don’t run away from me. Please, stay. Stay with me and don’t leave.”‘What’s gotten into him?’“Why are you saying these things?”A tear ran down h
⚫️REECE‘Unbelievable.’I couldn’t see who it was that was standing there at the that very moment.But when he lit a cigarette with his lighter, the fire made his face visible. I flinched.‘Jake?!’“I don’t understand. Jake? You are... Ryan?!” I asked.He chuckled.“Yes. In the flesh.” He said, puffing out smoke.I shuddered, unable to move as I stood in that position trying so hard to still my rampaging thoughts.‘This is one hell of a nightmare. This can’t be real.’Thunder clapped as a strong wind shook the curtains, making them sway. Before you know, it began to rain.“Hmmm. It seems God approves of whatever that is gonna happen here tonight, Reece.” He said.“Jake...” my hands were trembling and my voice was husky,“... H-How is this possible? You, You...” I swallowed,“... they said you were, you were d-dead.” I stuttered.“They said I was, but did you ever confirmed it?”“The bridge, Williamsburg’s bridge. They said you fell from it after being shot several times. But how?! How did you
I sighed again.“Yes Bella.”“Are you alright? You have been sighing for a while now.” Her computerized voice sounded concerned.“I am good, Bella. Just waiting on Mr Jake.”“Oh... Jake will be here soon. Have you done everything as you planned?”“Yes...” I closed my eyes,“... it’s almost time you know. I just have to be patient. It ain’t 10pm yet.”“Sure. Maybe I should get you busy. Do you want me to tell the latest gossip around town?”I giggled.‘How can an AI be involved in gossiping?’ I thought.Well... Bella is some type of high tech, super AI decoder and she feels things too like your heartbeat and emotions.‘She must be worth a lot of money tho.’Not everyone uses things like this and one thing about it is, no matter what personal questions I asked as regarding Jake, she would say,’ wrong command’.It’s like she was built to be loyal to her owner and she can only give details about his height, body weight and physical characteristics. Another thing is, she knows him as Jake and each
She was holding a gun at shot range to defend herself. Though she shot at them, the bullets didn’t seem to affect them.Her puma lunged towards them to defend its owner. It maimed and killed one of them.Then Anna received a blow to the skull by a man holding a bat from behind. She fell to the ground while her puma got shot thrice.She got hit again, this time, it took her out.“It’s the audacity for me, Boss.” Jay said.I furrowed my brows, watching how they carried her out of the apartment.“That’s not all, Boss. Watch this.” Storm said.He skipped the video, clicking on a minimized app with the aid of his mouse.It came up, displaying another video.“I hacked into the street cameras and was able to follow the car she was in. They took her into a building and here is what happened.” He said, fast forwarding the video and then stop when he was sure he had gotten to the right duration.He clicked play and I saw Reece standing in front of Anna.They conversed.Reece wanted to know who her boss
I took him into the mansion. I was in front while he was behind me as I led the way.We walked down the huge passage hall that led to the main building and I heard him exclaim.“WOAH! Sir...?!”I halted on my steps, turning around to look at him.“... sir, do you live here?” He asked, his eyes glistening as he was expecting an answer.“Yes. This is my home, my mansion. Just like you, I have boys working for me and they also live here.”He was astounded.“Your boys live in your mansion?”I tilted my head to side, smirking at him.“Yes. You will be staying here as well. I will be introducing you to them and they will get you acquainted with the kind of things I do.”He lowered his head as though he was ashamed and sad about something.“What is it, Darren?”“Sir, its just that...” he sniffled.‘Shit!. Is he crying?’I moved closer.“Why are you crying, Darren?”He scrunched his head up to look at me. I haven’t seen much tears in life, more especially, it was coming from a grown man.He grabbed my arm
💠ANNA💠 My head stung as I regained consciousness. I opened my eyes slowly, blinking severally and wincing to the blinding light that shone on my face.I looked down to see I was tied to a chair.I began wriggling and struggling to break free but it was tightly tied that I could feel my skin burning at each tear the rope gave.“You have some nerve, you know.” A voice said.I couldn’t see who it was or where I am. A lamp was above my head and my eyes haven’t adjusted to the brightness.“Who are you? And, how dare you kidnap me?” I snapped.“No. You shouldn’t think of it as a dare. Instead, how dare you spy into my daily activities? Oh... the number you gave was a spyware and you thought I wouldn’t know, right?”I gasped on remembering that voice and the spyware thingy.Reece Norman...“You don’t have to keep me here. It is your greatest mistake. My boss, he will find me and you are only going to make it easier and quicker for him to kill you.” I said.I noticed that the side of my head
I shrugged a shoulder, giving him an unbothered look.“You already know. Jake De Walter, Seamus or... do you think I’m something else?” I asked, smiling sheepishly at him.He moves backwards, shuddering in fear.“I-I need to go,s-s-something came up, and I,I need to sort it out quickly.”“What about our money?” Bennile asked.Reece’s eyes were observing me intently. I smiled, running my fingers into my hair as I turned around to go sit on the wooden chair.“Will send it as soon as I leave here.”“Good... make no mistakes.” I stood in front of the chair, turning around to look at him.“And do yourself a favor, leave Rachel alone. She is mine...” I scowled at him,“... stay away from her, understood?”“Yes...” he furrowed his brows at me,“...I do.” I smiled.Slowly, I’m getting close to the big day. Right now, by playing with their heads, I can successfully break them and crush their ego. But in real sense, Reece is going to go down quickly and then, Collins is next.••••••💠ANNA💠|My Apartm
