ELLA'S POVPutting on the uniform was harder than I thought because of my broken leg. It was healing but I still found it painful to try to lift it or place it fully on the ground.I had taken off my clothes and put on the shirt without buttoning up but I was stuck on trying to put on the pair of trousers. I considered calling Damien to help but I didn't want to bother him.I finally got my leg into the trousers, but I lost my balance and crashed into the wall, causing me to let out a yelp of pain. Just then, the door opened and Damien was right in front of me, worry evident all over his face.However, the moment he took in my almost naked appearance, his eyes widened in shock, and my face burned in slight embarrassment as I stared at him with a helpless expression.“Can you help me?” I asked softly as his eyes raked over my body before stopping at my bare breasts and he gulped before looking away.“You should button up first…” He mumbled under his breath as he kept his eyes trained o

I could stare at her at any opportunity I got without getting both of usuncomfortable. I stared at her chiseled jawline,then to her lips and gulped a bit. I looked awayfrom her and then back at her and the event of earlier came back flushing down my memory. I immediately came to a halt next to a cafeteria that looked more like a house than a cafe withonly a sign board stating it was a business.

ELLA'S POINT OF VIEWAs I watched Damian Storm out of the door my heart dropped into my stomach, and I let out another wail for the time that morning.I needed him as far away from me as possible but he wasn't bulging, after all that had happened between us he still offered to take me along on this business trip.If my stalker gets a hold of this information I only wonder what next would happen to me.I wrapped myself tiredly on the bed as I sobbed continuously, I hated myself for what I was doing to Damian but I was too scared to do otherwise.I layed on the bed for what felt like eternity as I tried wrapping my head around things, most of all why Sylvia hadn't checked up or called me since my mother's passing. Wasn't she aware or did she hate me that much?I picked up my phone and dialed her number, I watched the line ring for the third time without any response, I let out a loud sigh as I layed back down on the bed.I shut my eyes to sleep but couldn't find any as my mind was overl
DAMIAN'S POVMy steps felt heavier the more distant I got from Ella's room, she needed me and I knew it.Pushing me away was her only coping mechanism. Before long, I was right in front of my car. I paused for a moment, pondering on going back in or heading straight home to freshen up. I decided to do the latter.As I drove past the cafe where I had gotten coffee the other day, I stretched, trying to spell out the meaning and even pronunciation of the name written faintly on the billboard across the junction—BREWEELY.I repeated it over and over, wondering what its meaning was.Before long, I was parked in. I found a familiar car in the garage.Why would any of the Rojas come here? I walked agitatedly towards the door, pulled its knob, and peeked in.There was Julietta, seated comfortably on the cushion with cans of beer littered around the room.“Brother,” she walked happily towards my direction, arms opened as if to hug me. I took the other way around the cushion and sat down.“How
ELLA'S POV I was almost totally fine now, and Damian played the biggest role in making that possible. He gave me the safe space I desperately wanted. I couldn't help but wonder if the things Sylvia said about him were true. He seemed overly protective of me to be an abuser. I couldn't forget how he dashed out the previous day after finding out Jason was the one who kept on calling and making me lose my fitting for the door. He had asked who kept on calling every day that I feared and dared not pick up. After searching, he decided it was Jason. “Jason?” he asked in disgust. “What does he want from you?” he now sounded irritated. “I don't know,” I replied with teary eyes. I honestly didn't know what he wanted from me anymore. Why would he let me heal a little only to open up my wounds like he was torturing me purposefully? He tapped his feet uncontrollably for minutes, getting up. He stared at me for a moment with empathy and then stormed out the door. “Damian!” I cal
DMIAN'S POVI made it a point of duty to ensure Ella felt protected around me. It was a bruise on my ego to watch her cry. Of late, I stayed more frequently with her at the hospital and watched her get better, only leaving when there was an urgent need for me at the office.Things seemed to be getting better, except for this regular call, which always brought fear creeping back into her eyes. I wondered who always got her this terrified. Was it another stalker I had thought, but her reactions were more emotionally attached than it would have been if it involved stalking. I concluded it was her Ex, the abusive, spoiled kid.I made a mental note to get involved the next time I saw her that way. That was a threat, for God's sake."Jason?" I had asked her the following day, meeting her in tears as she tossed her phone dejectedly. The look of terror in her eyes at the mention of the name confirmed my suspicion.I stormed out of the room angrily, as all I could think of was "kill Jason.
DAMIAN'S POVI found myself recently having nightmares, the next worse than the previous, I obviously was stressed as fuck, I couldn't focus on a thing the of Julie was really wrecking me into pieces, Luke's crew hadn't found anything of value after last identifying her at the airport.It seemed as though she had vanished right at the airport, Maria wouldn't let me in on anything and I knew she felt pleasure seeing me suffer, knowing fully well where Julie was kept.“Jullie is only a child, please let her out of this” I had said the last time she picked up one of my numerous calls.“She ain't involved in anything, she's fine where she is. She's happy too” Maria had said, but trusting on her words was the last thing I was gonna do in my whole existence. She clearly wanted Julie under her hand to have full control over me, I felt bad for jullie who would only feel like a tool being exploited by her own mum.I needed to see her, hold onto her hands and tell her she was gonna be fine an
ELLA'S POVI let the taxi driver take me around the whole of Texas as I watched through the window how beautiful the place was, I needed to think, I was being lied to but by whom I couldn't place a finger my fingers on that face,I heaved out ones more and I was sure if I had kept count of the numbers of times I had done that, it was gonna be the twentieth. I had noticed the driver's eyes were on me for over half of the ride, he kept on peering through the overhead mirror, maybe to confirm if I was gonna lose my sanity at any moment.“I'm good, stop staring and drive” I said to him when he wouldn't focus any longer on the road.“Where to?” He spoke up for the first time since I stepped into the car, only then did I realize I hadn't said a word to him on where I was headed. No wonder he was staring at me, I chuckled.“Downside Texas” I said as I smiled towards him, he nodded and took a left turn as he drove towards the house, I shut my eyes as I tapped my foot in the car. I needed to me
JASON'S POV“You gonna have to do it anyways” sounded like a threat, she didn't have to threaten me to get me into action.I now understood what she needed, it was violence, she had been trying to provoke me into treating her the worst way I could.Maybe she would have demanded it but she chose the wrong way, I was gonna torment her till she begged on her knees or maybe not.“You need my help with Damian don't you? She added as she let out a wild smile. I chuckled, seeing an older woman do the unexpected just to get laid was quite arousing.I moved my hands from her breast region back to her neck and choked her so hard as I hungrily kissed on her lips, she freed her hands from my grip and moved them down towards my pant unzipping them hastingly, I held back her hands in the air throwing it off, I pulled her by the hair and dropped her into the chair behind me.She seemed anxious but I wouldn't care, she needed to pay for the slap's she had earlier given me. I pulled out a single belt
JASON'S POVMaria was such an obscure woman, she thought differently and does her things in a different perspective, whenever she brought new ideas I was always left in awe, how the fuck would a woman think this way.I loved her for that, she matched my energy a lot. She's the best partner I've ever had. After my anger led me over to her house, for the first time I saw her range.I knew for a reason I shouldn't have gone over to her place but I couldn't control my fear, what if Damian made a move with the new information he got before I could get to her, he took me off guard and I wasn't gonna let him win this lap, not while I also had a card to play.“I'm in” I had texted Maria the moment I felt threatened, she was the only one I knew could be of help to me this moment and why not?.She was Damians biggest fear and weakness and I knew what a weakness could have on a person. I would love to see the iced Damian melt before a woman figure, how exciting the view is gonna be. I waited res
DAMIAN'S POVAfter my meeting with Luke, I was overly restless, I couldn't focus on anything as I checked through my phone for the seconds hoping a message popped up from Luke saying they had found Julie.My worries grew into fear as I wondered if she was okay, I tried her line over and over again, I dropped her messages by the second.My heart was no longer in its place as I wondered what might have happened to her. My phone beeped and it was a message from Dave talking about real estate investments and all.I flung my phone to the wall in anger and watched it fall to the ground with its scattered broken pieces. I hate that I couldn't do anything for jullie at this point. It was the worst feeling ever to exist. I took my bath and stepped out of the house.I had gone home earlier than I normally do but couldn't focus on anything, I needed some air. I drove towards downsides in Texas and found myself at a bar, I couldn't resist the urge to walk in.“Look at that car” I heard a voice fr
ELLA'S POV “You finally came” those words from Kayla's mouth made me feel welcomed, she'd been waiting for me all this while I guess. Maybe the day I came over with Damian she had lots to say but kept it to herself. She stared at me grinning from ear to ear like she had seen her savior and I was about to say “Hey I'm here for informations not to let you out” as if reading my mind she chuckled and motioned with her hands for me to come closer. “You can't get me out I know” she laughed out loud after saying those words and sat back the way she had initially done. “So how can I help you” she asked giving a knowing smile on her face. “Uhmmmmm about the other day” I continued and then paused staring into her eyes. “I don't regret my actions Ella Keyla continued” and I wondered why she would say such to me, or was that why she'd wanted to see me all this while? to tell me she doesn't regret all she did that lead to the death of my mother?. “I love my family so much, and I will do
JULIE'S POVI layed on my bed counting the ceiling and naming everything I found around, for all of my morning I'd been doing that. I had walked into a mum and dad conversation the previous evening after she'd collected my cell phone, although I had no intention whatsoever to tell Dad what I've been going through with mum, I knew he cared less about things like this. I paused on my steps as I heard dads voice from the dining hall.“Why is the more security in stand by than necessary”“Uhmmm, I just thought we needed more” mum answered and it became quiet for a while.“I never instructed that”“But I did, I'm the one always home, so I know exactly what is needed here”“You took Julie against her will didn't you” mum chuckled and I heard the clashing of cutleries on the table, she must be dishing out food i thought.“I didn't ask you to do this, I asked a question and you ain't gonna ignore me”“You asked a silly question honey, how will I kidnap my own child ”“I thought so too, but yo
ELLA'S POVI hurried back into the house not minding anyone, it was quite early and so the house had workers around, I walked straight up into the room shutting the door behind me as I paced around wondering what next to do. Damian had a huge cockroach in his cupboard, I prayed it would have nothing to do with Sylvia's case for any reason. I dashed back out the room headed straight into the library, I checked through all I had checked before and still found nothing. I walked down to his desk and found a locker or two tightly locked, where could the key be? Or maybe I was actually just chasing a wild goose. I should go down to his office. There I was gonna find whatever it is I was looking for.“Kayla” I called out the name remembering she's being held in jail and she definitely had some kind of friendship with Sylvia, I was glad I had left work earlier today, I could still meet up by visiting the police station.“Going somewhere” I heard Anna's voice the moment I stepped out of the ro
ELLA'S POVListening to Damian talk, I could sense the fear in his voice and I guess Maria did so too. Maybe that's why she keeps on harassing him because she knows he's weaker whenever he gets around her. We walked into the Rogas villa and Damian became as cold as ice. He stared all around the sitting room like he was in a haunted house. The moment Maria walked in claiming Julie wouldn't want to see us, I could sense the fear that gripped him. His speaking became slower, his breath quicker and he rubbed on his hair more than he normally does.“It's Damian” the same old voice that had being tormenting Damian spoke up“I've missed you. Ohh look at you, you look so thin” she'd continued.“Uhmmmmm Ella” yeah that's the name, I and Damian stared at her dumbfounded as she hovered around us.“Damian you were coming over and with another guest for that matter but you wouldn't inform your mom so I would have made something nice for you”“Where is Julie?" Damian asked visibly to change the sub
