MIA'S POV
MIA'S POVI woke up a little before dawn in a strange room with a terrible headache. I looked around trying to figure out whose room it was. Suddenly, I realized that there was another figure laying beside me without any clothes on. I gasped in surprise as I also realized that I was equally naked.I sat up abruptly but the pain in my head made me scream out loud. I held my mouth and squeezed my eyes shut as I saw the man turn. Praying in my mind that he doesn't wake up.To my utmost relief, he slept back. I looked at the man who was now sleeping soundly beside me one more time as I put on my clothes and hurriedly left the premises before anyone saw me.Back in my room, I tried to remember how I ended up in that room and when I met the man. No matter how hard I tried, I could not remember anything about that. Rather, the memories of what transpired that night came rushing back to me." Please sir, don't do this to me. Who are you? Let me go". With tears in my eyes, I tried to struggle with him, but he was way too strong for me to contend with."No. No. No….Get the hell away from me." I yelled at the top of my lungs but he didn't listen to me. I felt him grope my breast." Let me go... Somebody please help....." I swallowed the rest of my word back as his mouth captured my lips in a very hot and hard kiss.I tried to swing away from him but he pinned me down with his masculine body.Tears were rolling down my eyes and my cheeks like a river. I kept thrashing in his arms to free myself from his hold but I was too weak to get away from him.Suddenly, I felt a very sharp pain as his penis made its way into my vagina. I screamed out loud in pain but no one heard me.And all of this happened probably because the manager of the agency where I applied for a modeling job gave me a cup of drink that night.Did the man who raped me paid him to spike my drink? Just so he could bed me? This can't be happening to me. Why would they do that to me? Why would they treat me like a whore?.....I shuddered in disgust as I came back to reality. Crying out in pain and anguish, I felt disgusted with myself for losing my virginity that I had so guarded with my life in such a repulsive way.I shouted as I cried and cried until there was no longer a single tear left in my eyes. I just laid curled up in my bed until I drifted off to sleep.However, as soon as I closed my eyes, I was haunted by nightmares. I woke up in a cold sweat panting furiously as I tried to stabilize by breathing. My heart was beating so hard and fast I could hear it in my ears.For a while, I was unable to sleep back so I stood up and went straight to the mirror to look at myself. My eyes had swollen up and I was looking so pitiful. I washed my face and lay down again.Exhausted from crying, I tried to fall asleep again but I was tormented and haunted by nightmares each time I closed my eyes to sleep so decided to take a relaxing bath to calm my nerves.I stepped under the cold water and did all my possible best to scrub away all of the memories of last night. I washed my hair with my strawberry shampoo.Then I also conditioned it with strawberry conditioner and I was done.I stepped out and wrapped a towel around myself. I dried myself and put on my underwear. I also brushed my teeth and my hair. Once I was done, I put on some casual clothes since I didn't have anywhere to go.I checked the time and saw it was 5:00 pm already. Wow!! How time flies.I wasn't feeling hungry so I went into the kitchen to pick up the wine I had bought to use in celebrating if I had gotten. I didn't bother taking a cup.I just sat on the kitchen counter and gulped it directly from the bottle.I was already drunk by the time I was done with the whole bottle. I just wobbled my way into my room and then proceeded to lay down on my bed.I stare blankly at the wall thinking about how my life just changed drastically. I thought about my parents and I felt tears at the brink of my eyes. I haven't cried this much since I lost my parents."I miss you Mum. I miss you Dad. I miss you both so so much. I wish you were here with me right now. I wish you were here to hold me in your arms and tell me everything will be okay."I know I was talking to myself but it's the only thing I could do right now. I wish I feelings had an on-off switch so I could switch off all the painful memories.I felt my eyes drooping and soon enough I let the darkness consume me completely.Morning came and I woke up with a hangover. My head was banging so much and I realized I had slept through the evening and all through the night without waking at all.I took some painkillers for the headache,had a shower, brushed my teeth and my hair. I put on my underwear and clothes and lay down on the bed staring blankly at ceilings.This became my everyday routine for a complete week. I was beginning to fall into depression. I hardly go out, and I stopped socializing. I don't even eat any more. And to make matters worse, I still could not get any sleep properly. My only companion lately is alcohol.Afraid that I might get addicted to alcohol, I decided to give my Aunty who lives in L.A a call. Crying and drinking won't solve my problems so i just bottled everything up.Arrangements for me to go to California were made and the following day, I left the only place I had known and called home since my childhood all because of what they did to me.On arriving in the city of California, I decided to hunt for a regular job for the time being. I needed to stabilize myself before pursuing my career as a model.I had very good credentials so getting a job wasn't so difficult for me. I decided to make use of my credentials to work. I applied for jobs in different firms and companies for any available position.On a Monday morning, I got a call from one of the companies I applied for. I was to resume work the following day as a personal Assistant to the CEO of BLACK INDUSTRIES. The pay was fantastic and the benefits inclusive. It was a very big and famous company.I was so excited about getting a job with a big company and for the fact that it will help me remove my mind from my past. I broke the news to my aunt and she was very happy for me.I just couldn't wait to resume work. This work will pave the way for me.it will be a ladder to my successful modeling career.I woke up very early the following day all dressed up for work. Out of excitement, I didn't eat anything that morning..I headed off to work. Just stepping inside the building of BLACK INDUSTRIES was a blessing on its own.With my head held high,I walked in and I was met by a middle aged woman and a gorgeous looking lady. You could tell just by looking at her that she held a high position in the company . The way she carries herself was just so, so, what's the word? So captivating. " You must be Mia? " That came from the older woman."Yes ma'am. Good morning to you both". I greeted them."This is Miss Audrey Black she is the……" she tried saying but was cut off by the younger woman."That won't be necessary Margarita.You can get back to work"she said to the older woman and then turned to me."You are welcome to the company Mia. Come with me, let me show you to your office and introduce you to your Boss"..I was first taken to my office. It was very well furnished and excessively comfortable. Finally, she took me to introduce me to my boss who was in his office.I was taken aback by how spacious this office was. It was well furnished and manly decorated. The chairs in the office were worth more than everything I own.The man in question had his head down when we got in."Hello! Brother" I heard Miss Audrey say as she went to him.There and then, it registered to me the reason why her surname is also BLACK.Finally, the man raised his head up and I almost fainted as soon as his head was up. I lost my balance and in a split second, the man was standing next to me with his hands around my waist as a support.I managed to move away from him, embarrassed and filled with bitterness at the same time."YOU?!!" I blurted out…..MIA'S POV "You?" I blurted out to him accusingly and angrily as soon as I recovered from the shock of seeing him again. I could not refrain from using my tongue. The next thing I heard him ask me arrogantly was. "Do I know you? Have we met before?" How belittling that question was to me.I glared at him in response. I wanted to say more to him right there but his sister interrupted. "She is Mia Anderson, your new personal Assistant" She replied. "Miss Anderson, please watch the way you speak to me. I hate clumsy, tacky and loud mouthed people who don't think before they speak. Did you get that?". How dare he talk to me like this?. I was fuming with anger within me but I couldn't say anything. "Please see her out Audrey. Tell Margarita to show her what she needs to do and make sure she does her work well" "Way to go Mia, what a great impression you made there. If you must work here, you must learn not to overstep your boundaries with my brother" I heard Miss Audrey say
MIA'S POV I knocked on his office door before entering with my breath held not knowing what was coming. "What the hell was that all about Madeleine?" "My name is Mia not Madeleine ". "I don't give a damn what your name is. Don't you ever speak to me in that manner let alone in the presence of my staff or anyone else at that". He stood up from his chair and stopped right in front of me. I swallowed the lump in my throat as I took in his intimidating size. "Look here missy, I don't know what your problem is and I definitely do not give a damn about it. But I'm telling you right now, if you love your job and want to keep it, you better do as you are told. Because if this insolent behavior of yours repeats itself again, I won't hesitate to fire you.Do I make myself clear? ". Waiting for an answer from me, I decided not to give him any. He stared at me for some time without a word.Then he repeated the question but this time with an hard glare. "DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR ?". "Yes
CHAPTER FOURAIDEN'S POVDid she just say that she will not allow anyone to treat her like a whore including me? Did I hear her right? " What did you just say to me?". I asked her. Not like I was expecting any answer from her; because keeping mute when asked some certain questions has become her speciality. To my greatest shock, she repeated herself again." You heard me right sir. I won't allow anyone disrespect me by treating me like a whore and that includes you sir". Dumbfounded, I just stared at her even though I was so angry at her right now. Knowing that what she just did will definitely cost me a partnership. She sure does have a sharp tongue."Miss Anderson, do you realize what you just did right now? Do you know that this reckless action could cost me a partnership I have long waited for?'."With all due respect sir, somebody just molested me in your presence and you are worried about your partnership with him? What was I expecting from someone like you? You all are
MIA'S POV" We WHAT!?? "..... He shouted back at me. Oh My God!!! Why the hell is he feigning ignorance?.." The night we had SEX or should I say the night you raped me" "Hold it up right there!!!....We had sex? You mean I slept with you? Rape you, you say? Are you sure you are not mistaken? Jesus Christ Miss Anderson, are you out of your mind? I barely know you for pete sake. Now, I'm convinced that you were sent to destroy me. Who paid you to do this to me? Whose dog are you?" He asked with a look of disgust evident on his face. "Yes,you raped me and no, I'm not mistaken." I declared with my chin up,meeting his gaze with my teary ones. "Why did you do it?You ruined my life Mr Black and I hate you so much with all of my heart" However, I should have been more prepared because the moment I uttered those statements, he was right in front of me. For the first few minutes, there was complete silence. I was held captive in the grip of his unwavering calculating gaze.His gaze pierced
AIDEN'S POVI was so lost in my thoughts as soon as Mia left my office.I was thinking about all the possibilities of what she said and I couldn't come up with anything.I tried remembering that night in Texas but my mind came up blank. I thought about giving Jordan a call. I know we were supposed to go clubbing today but with the news I heard right now, I was no longer in the mood for that. I picked up my phone to give him a call.However, I saw him and Audrey right in my office. I must have been so preoccupied in my thoughts that I didn't hear the door open."Why do you look like you have seen a ghost"? Jordan said as soon as I took in their presence. "It would have been better if I did see a ghost for real. You came just at the right time, Jordan. I was just about to give you a call.""What happened? Audrey and I, just saw your Personal Assistant leaving your office with tears? Did you two fight again?""You need to take it easy with her, Aiden. We ladies are very fragile." I hear
MIA'S POVI smiled along with the children playing in the park. They were so carefree, so young and full of innocence. I wonder why we can't be this free and happy as an adult. I remembered the days I was as free and innocent as these children; without having to worry about anything in the world. Just like them, if someone had told me years ago that someday in my adulthood, that my joy will be snatched away by the cruelty of this world, I wouldn't have believed the person.I wished in my innermost heart and with all sincerity that these children don't have to grow up to experience the wickedness of this world which I'm having a taste of right now. No matter how hard I fought to hold my tears back, I just couldn't restrain them from falling down any longer. I let them flow freely without minding who was watching. Why is this world so cruel? I put my hands on my thigh as I use them to cover my face." Nobody will believe you Mia. It is your word against mine" His words rang in my
AIDEN'S POVIt has been over a week now and I haven't gotten any positive response from Mr Q. I was becoming so impatient. I decided to give him a call."Hello sir." I heard his voice from the other end "Mr Q, what the hell is happening? It has been over a week now and no word from you.""I'm sorry about that sir. But I'm onto someone right now. I will give you a call back in a few minutes."He hung the call. Damn it..I hate it when people drop a call on me while I'm still speaking. How disrespectful that is. Waiting is so hard and annoying.After a while, he finally called back. "I'm so sorry about that sir. I have been busy with things over here. But according to the investigation carried out,there is a 100 percent possibility that you might have indeed slept with Mia Anderson.""WHAT? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING!!?? HOW THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN MR.Q?""Well, based on my discovery here sir, this company isn't into recruiting models sir. They are into the shady business of sex tr
AIDEN'S POV"Fine." I grumbled. " I'm doing this for your own good. What if she gets hold of the pictures before you even let her know what was happening? Don't you think if she decides to let it out,you stand a lot to lose?""Audrey is right, Aiden. Besides, it's just an apology. You at least owe her that.""Come on man, not you too. I see you two are ganging up on me." I tried to wriggle out from doing this with the excuse of not knowing where she lives."That won't be a problem because I do." Audrey smiled sweetly at me. "Since you don't have anything you're doing,we could go now."Giving me a look that says "you're not getting out of this." I shot her a murderous glare but still reluctantly followed her to Mia's home.I called her several times but she didn't pick up.Audrey did too,same result. I guess she didn't want to speak with any of us.We got to her door and I could hear some laughter coming from inside. An adult's which certainly must be hers and a little girl's voice.
AIDEN'S POVI anxiously waited in front of Mia's room with Jordan. I could feel Jordan staring at me with pity but my mind was everywhere. I couldn't focus on anything.My phone rang out and I dug it out of my pocket. It was Audrey. I swiped the screen and picked it up." Hello Aiden. Jordan texted me . How's Mia doing? " " I…..I…d…don't k…know. " I croaked out." Just calm down, Aiden. She'll be fine. She's a fighter and has always been a fighter. Nothing will happen to both of them."" I hope so this time. I don't know what I'll do if something were to happen to our baby again. "" Just be positive bro. I'll be with you in a jiffy. Be strong for us. " With that she ended the call." We can't keep standing here, Aiden." Jordan said, " Let's just wait at the reception."I nodded my head in response because I was too weak to argue with him. I wanted to stay there but I have to stay strong for Mia.We walked back to the reception and I sat with my head bowed down. I couldn't help but f
AIDEN'S POVThese past few days have been hell for me since Mia got kidnapped. What a horrible way for someone who just got married to spend her honeymoon. I have exhausted all of my contacts including Jordan's just to get my wife and unborn child back home safe and sound. It has been days with sleepless nights without food. Everywhere in the house has been silent like we were mourning. Which is my greatest fear. I have promised to pay anyone who could provide us with the exact location of where she was taken too.Of course, we have been receiving calls based on that and each time the troops go there, it would turn out to be a force call. So far, there hasn't been anything positive from anywhere. And as for Nadia, we are yet to get any information on her whereabouts. It feels like they all vanished into the thin air. Right now, I'm seated with Audrey, Jordan and Mr. Q. They all had one or two pieces of information they got about Mia and Nadia. " I got a call from someone this mor
PATRICIA'S POVI sat on the couch in my living room watching a soap opera when my phone rang out. I checked the caller and rolled my eyes. I picked up the call and waited a bit for the person on the other end to talk. " Hello ma'am, I have something that might interest you. " The voice said. " It better be news that is worthy of my time. " I said, " There is going to be a wedding tomorrow."" Who cares? " I snapped at her. " Is this why you called me this early? Seriously, I don't know why I'm still putting up with you."" N..No..No ma'am! " she stammered. Even if she was older than I am, she knew better than to get on my wrong side. She knew what I was capable of. Besides, I'm paying her. " Why are you calling me then? " I asked impatiently. " You don't quite understand what I meant. I was trying to inform you that my boss and a'am Mia are getting married tomorrow. "" What? " I almost choked on my saliva. "You mean to tell me that Aiden and Mia are getting married tomorrow a
MIA'S POVI woke up in a very dark room with just a little window to let the air into the room. I was sitting on a chair and my hands were tied behind my back but my legs were free. There was also a table in front of me. I groaned softly and tried to adjust myself properly on the chair.I was in pain and my body aches badly. My first thought went to my unborn child. I widened my eyes in panic as I checked myself properly to see if nothing was wrong with my baby. I breathed a sigh of relief when no sign on my body showed that I was in a bad condition. I raised my head up and stared at the ceiling as I had a flashback on how I got here in the first place.Everything was going fine and I couldn't have been happier than I was. My wedding gown was the most beautiful that I have ever seen in the world. Finally, the church wedding ceremony was over and there was this joy in my heart that I just wasn't able to explain when we left for the reception venue. As much as I wanted to still be in
AIDEN'S POV. " Where is Mrs Black? " Jordan asked me, calling Mia by her new last name.Hmm… Mrs Black.. I like the sound of that. " She went in to change some minutes ago with her Aunt. " I replied and then scrunched up my nose when I remembered she should have been away for sometime." That's odd. " " What is odd? " Audrey asked me," They should be out now. " I answered, checking the time on my wristwatch. " Oh God, please…. Let it not be what I'm thinking. " Audrey muttered under her breath but I heard her clearly." What is wrong? " I asked her. I was confused and at the same time, a little bit scared.She and Jordan made their way to the room set aside for Mia without saying another word to me. I followed behind them. The door was locked and then, the scene of what could have gone wrong hit me with full force. ' Mia!!! ' I screamed in my head.Without thinking twice, Jordan kicked the door down. And there was Mia's aunt and one of Mia's bodyguards knocked out with a toxic ch
AUDREY'S POVEverywhere was bubbling with the wedding arrangements of Mia. Finally, we had decided to let the whole household know about Aiden and Mia's secret wedding just. But none was told about the venue until today. Seeing my brother finally getting married to one of the most wonderful women I have ever met in my life is one of the best thing I could ask for in life. I couldn't have asked for a better wife and sister-in-law for Aiden and me. "My goodness, ma'am Audrey, I can't believe sir Aiden's wedding to ma'am Mia is today. Oh! How happy your parents will be wherever they are. " Chef Timothy said." I know, Chef. I wish they were here with us today. " I said, smiling and thinking about them. " Yes, ma'am. I wish so too but I know they are smiling down on us today. " " I believe they are. Are you all set for the church service? ""Yes. I was wondering if we should leave some people behind to watch over the household. " Chef Timothy said, I shook my head. " Not today. Ever
JACKSON'S POVPatricia barged into my office looking so frustrated and ready to kill anyone who got in her way at that very moment." What is the matter? " I asked " Goddamnit!!!. Will this problem ever end? It has been one trouble to the other. " She said , slumping down on the couch in my office. " I thought we had everything well planned out. I was so, Jackson. We were so close and everything turned upside down. "I furrowed my brows in confusion. " You are still not making any sense. " I said, sitting beside her. " Did our boys succeed in snatching away the DNA test result from them? "" Yes, they did." "So, if that is the case, why are you looking so worked up? "" That is the problem, Jackson. Even with that, the plan backfired. "" What do you mean it backfired? "" Damn Aiden!!!. He was more prepared than we were. Just what in the world are we going to do to finally get this guy down? And that stupid specialist you brought sold us out. "" He did what? " I asked in shock "
AIDEN'S POV" Please, sir, don't do that to me," The man pleaded and pointed at Patricia accusingly. " She made me do it. " We all turned to look at Patricia which made her look down in fear — and shame." You did what? " I growled. I was furious. But what is the point of me getting furious over this? When I knew the kind of human being she is. " How dare you!! You ungrateful son of a bitch." Patricia shouted and glared at her doctor. " How dare you tell such lies in my presence? "" No! Young man, she did not. You did it yourself. " My doctor said to Patricia's doctor. " I'm telling the truth here," He replied on the verge of tears. " You tell them, ma'am. " He told Patricia who was glaring at him. " She may have suggested it to you but in your consciousness, you carried out the plan because of your greed and quest for money. You sold out your identity. " I said, " Please sir. I'm sorry for what I did. Help me put up some words to the doctor to pardon me just this once. It won'
AIDEN'S POVIt was already past the time and hour that my doctor was to be here. I was worried and hoping that nothing had gone wrong. Patricia on the other hand has become impatient and wouldn't let me be. I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Mia coming cover to us. She was the strength I needed right now from Patricia's constant nagging. Mia sat down beside me and I could feel Patricia getting agitated with her presence. " Aiden, I don't know why your doctor isn't here yet. My doctor has lots of things to attend to today. We have been here for over an hour. I think we better proceed with mine instead. " Patricia said, " They might just be running late. Or had a car flat tire or something. I'm sure they will be here in no time. "" I hope this delay from them is not because they are compromising the result of the test? " She asked, She was fucking testing my patience. " Are you by any chance saying that this was all planned? " " I wouldn't know. You said it yourself. If this
