Voices. A piano is playing. Jolene heard them and groaned softly because of the pain at her back, she opened her eyes slowly only to notice her surroundings. She was in a five star restaurant and the least she remembered was coming back from the hospital after meeting Tommy. Then waiting for a taxi outside the hospital, the stalker, then… She gasped in shock when everything that had gone down moments ago came flashing through her eyes like a movie. “You are awake.” She heard a voice speak, familiar ones that had goosebumps roll down her skin before her eyes connected with dark gray ones, that sat right in front of her facing her with a smirk etched right at the corner of his lips. It was him. Her stalker. He's here with her in… She looked around her surroundings to see that she was in an unfamiliar setting. This wasn't in town, she figured and when she looked at her body to see that she was expensively dressed for this, she looked back at the man who had been waiting for he
He was going to do it.He was going to kiss her.With that in mind Jolene didn't know what to do. Irrespective of what this crazy man has done to her best friends, she couldn't help but be drawn to him.American men are handsome, but Italian men are way hotter and this dude was stirring something inside of her, feelings that she didn't want to act upon.Valerie.Remember Valerie.She said to herself, so as Marco bent down to claim her lips with the tension in the room accelerating. Jolene has to ruin the fun by turning her head to the side pushing him away lightly.“I need to go..back home.” She said turning to leave but he dragged her back to meet his face.“Marco.” He said, as she scrunched her face in confusion not quite getting what he was trying to say, until she figured out that he was telling her his name.Marco.He didn't look like a Marco kind of guy, yet, she didn't want to question if he was lying to her or not, because at this point he's still going to find his way back t
The following morning being Saturday, Valerie didn’t want to give Donovan the initiative that she was challenging him on the new job that he assigned her. After having the rules given to her by the assistant head of house, since Grace was still recuperating at the hospital which didn't bother her anymore. She asked for it. Valerie has to clean up Donovan’s room, when she arrived she noticed that he wasn’t in his room so the stress of waking him up by six was lifted off her shoulder. It sounded ridiculous that not only was she made his personal maid, the part in which she has to wake him up, a full grown up like him by six was an insult. Chad wakes up without her having to do that for him. So, she figured out that Donovan was either trying to get a reaction out of her, one that she knew would cut off every liberty Chad has now, which won’t ever happen. At least, she has to put up with whatever he does to her until she figures out a perfect escape plan and route, one that won’t end
“What the hell is going on here!!” Donovan's thunderous voice shook the whole building, as the maids who seemed to be eavesdropping scattered for safety, they were no longer interested in knowing the outcome, because Donovan's angry stare wasn't something pleasant to see. While the few who were hard hearted stayed behind to see the end of the unfolding drama, the curiosity that took upon everyone present, including Marco who seemed to have a satisfied smirk on his face, as if he was anticipating for this, to know what and how exactly Donovan is going to act towards the young lady, who seemed to be changing his mindset ever since she arrived. Marco didn't have any problem with him that he didn't hurt the little boy, her nephew.Since, he's too pussy to do that based on his childhood traumas, which was why he's here. To help do whatever it was that he couldn't do, yet, without talking things out with him he gives the Blacksmith’ sister a house and job. Who will believe that she isn't
Valerie stood outside his room door holding the tray of food, she was literally shaking as a result of what had gone down moments ago. Donovan didn’t have a heart, that she just confirmed that. If he did, he wouldn't have hurt Marco, the two are more like brothers than mere acquaintances from what she has heard from the maids. Although, what Marco did was uncalled for, yet she still felt pity for him. Not only was he disgraced right in front of everyone. It never really occurred to him that Donovan would end up doing him like that. Couldn’t they have just settled things amicably without using violence? Valerie hated violence, that has always been her last resolve for anything yet she didn't want to resolve using that, whenever peaceful talks didn't go through. Now, Marco's issues have been settled, but from the looks of things it won’t get any easier for her here. While bringing Donovan’s breakfast, she could hear the gossip of the maids. Some accused her of sleeping with him jus
“Strip.”When Valerie heard him say that, she felt all the hair on her body stand up. Goosebumps lattered her whole body the moment she looked right into his eyes to see that he wasn’t joking. He meant what he said.Donovan pushed her away to give her space to do as she was instructed, but knowing fully well that she would want to challenge him on what he just ordered her to do.He took out his gun from the back of his pants, the very same gun that he has used on Marco. It made her move away and lost her step which made her fall on his bed, and advanced backwards, an attempt to move away from him.But what she failed to realize is that as long as she’s staying here in his house, there’s no place for her to hide because he will always find her. She caused this upon herself, always trying to challenge him on literally everything. Had it been that he didn't find her useful, he would have had Marco kill her at that point in the sitting room.She doesn’t deserve his pity if her plan was
“Jolene, honey. Are you okay?” Mrs. Harris asked her daughter who had been picking at her food, since they were having breakfast. She had barely eaten anything and all she did was to stare at her phone.“Yes, mom. I’m fine.” Jolene said with a smile to keep her mother off her neck. She understands that her mother was trying to look out for her, but she could be annoying sometimes.Jolene was frustrated. She hasn’t seen nor heard from Marco since last night after they argued. He didn't come back to the room and had had his chauffeur drop her off this early morning instead, which ruined her chance of asking him further about Valerie and Chad.The most frustrating part of all this, is that she couldn’t get to him through the number that he has always called her with. From the very first day that he texted her with it, she’s been unable to call him without the line saying that the number doesn’t exist. Yet, he calls her with it.It was obvious that he had something to do with it, of cour
For the rest of the day Valerie wasn’t herself, she was more of a lifeless human as she helped around to clean the house. She couldn’t forget, no matter how much she tried, her mind would always go back to what happened in Donovan’s room in the morning.What pissed her off the most, was how her body reacted when he sweet talked her into doing what he wanted. She’s slowly losing her mind been here, and if it continues this way she’s going to end up being broken, physically, mentally and psychologically.Yet the young lady didn't want to give herself the false hope that help was coming. The plan about coaxing up to Donovan and playing his games with him just to earn his trust, died the moment he treated her like a worthless human.He treated her like she was some hoe that he picked up from the street, which helped prove to her that if she was to find her way out of here with the plan she initially had in mind, she has to be ready to sacrifice some few factors.She cannot lie or act to s
