26 “Tsk… Tsk… Tsk, Stella baby, what a strange surprise to see you here,” Brandon came ahead eyeing Stella’s back and stopped tall in front of Stella’s face. Stella stood there eyeing down, gulping as she feared for her life, her expressions dramatically changed into fright. Brandon raised two fingers to pull her chin in order to make her meet his eyes. “I admire your boldness, baby.” Brandon’s tone was slightly different than his usual tones. It was more like he was ridiculing and intimidating her. “I’m sorry, ma…” Brandon leaned closer on her, joining his lips on her jawline, I saw him whispering something in her ears, making it inaudible for me to hear and stiffening her by whatever he said to her. “Shhh… baby, you’re not allowed to say the word in front of anyone,” I heard him whispering in her ear, making her go pale and mouthless. I watched them creating an undeniable tension in the room. “Understood,” Brandon’s hand running on her hair after he muffled something inaudible
27BrandonI closed the script I was holding in my hand and placed it on the table. Sighing, I shut my eyes just to recall the new toy I have under my radar, Jenna. The breathtakingly beautiful girl who seemed perfect to satisfy my hungry beast. Her face, appearing plump lips, seducing bright olive-green eyes that shined the brightest all the time; they held thousands of emotions in the same second, sometimes she displayed her tamed, soft side and other times her eyes ignited the ferocity her soul is capable of holding. All of her body called out to me like her skin was begging me to explore her each inch, or I might say my fervid beast couldn’t hold himself once she came around. Everything turned upside down the day my eyes fell on her, she looked mesmerizing when she stood self-assertive in front of hundreds of cameras on the red carpet, trying to maintain a bold picture of hers but failing terribly. Those very eyes that day held apprehension, submissiveness, delicacy turned me on
28Friday, Morning. Jenna“Relax. Relax Jenna, It’s just breakfast.” This was what I had been repeating in my mind. I’d never imagined that Brandon would try to control and force himself upon me. I thought he was a nice man; a reliable gentleman unlike my husband but he turned out to be exactly like him, one who loved to isolate a woman and impose himself on her so she would be his submissive and serve him with her blood and sweat.But I didn’t approve of living that miserable life, I chose to step out and voice my justice and I would never ever let any other man repeat history. It was over for me. I was walking out to the garden of the mansion as Brandon wanted to have breakfast under the sun but I wasn’t sure if I could have breakfast with him, not only because I had a problem with heatstroke but also that I didn’t want to face Brandon after days of ignoring him. I had been avoiding him as much as possible whilst he made ignorance possibly hard for me. I never regretted my decisi
29One Week Later I had to do this. Brandon tricked me into saying yes and ever since that happened, he changed completely as I agreed to him treating me better, I didn’t expect him to take care of me like that. I mean he degraded me when I was only his employee, now that finally ended up manipulating me into saying yes as his girlfriend -or I believed as his sideline enjoyment-, he changed himself for me. It was the reverse circle going on here, Liam first treated me like a diva before marriage and after he changed into a bastard, whilst here, Brandon seemed to be doing the opposite of it. He was proving to be a good partner after that day, I doubted for a while if I should really call him that- but yes, it was true, he was protective of me, he spent time with Kevin and me, he took us to private dinners twice in such a short period. He respected my opinion of not escalating our relationship news.I never thought he would become this… really amazing boyfriend nor I imagine I woul
30“Get ready for the show,” “Get ready for the show,” I knew what that meant. That’s all my mind had been repeating from the moment Brandon whispered in my ears in front of Kevin in the car. We reached the mansion, Kevin insisted me walk with him as he wanted to show me one of his latest favourite books. I stole a glance at Brandon before leaving with Kevin, his eyes glooming the darkest colour as they told me he was determined to get what he indirectly demanded from me tonight. We passed an hour on his books and new toys while my mind kept revolving around Brandon, I doubted if I mistook the meaning of what he said, maybe he meant something else? But another thought passed, advocating, he said absolutely what I understood as we were going to share an intimate session for the first time but couldn’t. It was almost Kevin’s bedtime and I finally tugged him to bed, read his favourite story of three astronauts till he dozed off to sleep. I picked up Kevin’s mess to give myself some
31Warning: Didn’t plan on writing a sex scene but here it is. Read it At Your Own Risk.I never thought of becoming a girlfriend of a famous celebrity right after I dumped a toxic relationship, this all seemed like a fairytale; like I was rewarded for my work hard, for bearing an abusive man for years and all those people who never asked if I was alive or dead, I was referring my mother, she was happy with her husband number two but she never called to ask about how was I doing, this sore thought pained me for a second until I turned my attention towards Brandon.He was sleeping beside me, his eyes were shut while he kept breathing smoothly, I flipped my side and laid on my stomach only to gaze his flawless face, he was a masterpiece of God’s creation, his every feature was a turn on, this perfect sharp jaw complimenting his face structure. My hand traced down to his neck, following below to his hard muscles chest, I bit my lip as a current of lust hit my uterus and butterflies dance
32 The mansion. BG.Oh God, it was all so clear, it was in front of my face. Brandon Grande was the full term for that, why didn’t I think of it before, I totally forgot to pay attention to the red flag when it was all over my face, how foolish of me, how stupid, Jenna. A pool of flashbacks started heeding my way, making me realise I was stupid to ignore the initial facts, it rewound in my mind, the premiere, afterparty, the wasted man’s attack, a masked man saving me, I, handing myself to the darkness and then, the morning and the worst day of life. It was played like a movie in a thunderbolt. He was there all while, he knew me from that night, his eyes were stoned at me yet again I assumed no one saw me that night because I wasn’t worth a shot, I thought that Liam’s every degrading comment about me was the truth, I was really not capable of living a happy life. He destroyed me with his awful words and I believed in him but what my vulnerable side got me into, Rape by an unknown
33His hand slipped around my waist, holding me tightly to his chest while sniffing my hair, “Dove, your skin is calling out to me, I can’t control my hunger,” He said as he brushed the back of his hand on my arms. I closed my arms as a pool of pleasure started filling up in my uterus, spitting out the juice from my private part, I was already submitting my body to him by his sensual touches. His hand traced to my belly, circling my sensitive gen and giving me the most desirable pleasure I could think of. “Oh Fuck, your body is reacting on my touch, you feel so hot for me,” He teased my ear with his hot tongue from the back, “If you know then don’t hold yourself back, I’m already dying for you,” I whispered the uncontrollable sensations that were about to explode me in the name of desire and need. I threw my head back on his shoulder as I earned his possessive arms wrapping firmly around my petite body as compared to his big build, He further pressed me against his strong body, ignit
2 Years LaterJennaI scanned every corner of the hall to make sure everything was going according to my planning. After all, it’s going to be my daughter’s first birthday, I wanted everything to be perfect. The glee I felt was beyond human comprehension, words weren’t enough to describe my life after Renai’s birth, she was, is and always will be my lucky charm. “My darling, what’s that look on your face?” I heard my husband interrupting me and my thoughts-land. “I’m observing if anything is out of line,” I replied, roaming my eyes everywhere while I could feel one pair of bluish orbs sticking at my face. “Everything is perfect as long as you’re happy with it,” replied my husband in the most romantic way possible. He surely knew how to sweep my heart away just with his words. I was already flushing like red jello. “Has cake arrived?” I asked him, gingerly. “Pretty sure, yes. Guards have made sure to put it in the refrigerator with careful hands,” He informed, “Where’s our daughte
42One Year Later I miss sleeping like a normal human being. This man who I accepted as my husband last week woke me up today by shagging himself in me while I was in a deep slumber after our long sex night session, but alas, four rounds weren’t enough for him, he was a man with an exceptional sexual appetite in comparison with me. I sometimes wondered if calling him the real-life man of steel wouldn’t be wrong as his endless stamina cost me my sleep and strength, to endure his lengthy manhood wasn’t an easy part either.Right now, his tongue was giving me the pleasure of sacred nirvana as he shoved it in and out like he promised himself to destroy me today. I held out his head for my holy soul, my shouts and moans were filling the room’s space while he succeeded in gifting me orgasm for my breakfast. I grunted at last as his tongue cleaned out the corners of my lips, “You’re fucking irresistible, my one and only,” Brandon stated, ascending towards my face. I flushed as his predato
41JennaThis was real. Everything that I had been through passed by me. I thought I would meet my grave next but I was still laying beside the man who I fell for, then hated and now again, I feared falling for him again. He never left my side or even my hand. He didn’t know that I was conscious but I couldn’t move for a while until I had gotten the power to open my eyes. Since the moment I had been awakened, he made sure to pepper me with kisses all over my face. “Dove, I can’t thank God enough to God for giving you another chance. You scared the life out of me you know?!” He spoke, hyperventilated. It was difficult for me to speak out for myself because of the oxygen mask and weakliness, so I just let him do the talking work, he didn’t miss out on any chance of proving how worried he was about me and somehow, I also started believing in him. His eyes weren’t lying this time, they had some sort of clarity and honesty. My heart said to trust him once more and grant him a chance. “D
40“Liam…” I gasped, my heart skipped a beat.“Yes, buttercup, Liam. Your own husband Liam,” He said, his tone blended in satire and venom. His aura was filled with malevolence. I inwardly flinched at his words because they were sarcastic enough to take my heart out. “Strange that you have forgotten me so easily… Tell me was that your pussy boyfriend’s cock that made you forget me? Huh, was he that good?” He kept on trudging towards me like a vampire was about to have his feed on a candy human like me. “L-Liam—stop, you can’t do—this,” I stuttered even when I tried to portray myself a little courageous. “Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Still the world hasn’t taught my girl enough all this time,” he mocked, as usual. I kept on reserving while he continued taking my life out of its place with his gait. “Actually… I was here… to talk about us,” “What is left to argue?” I lashed out, not giving up too soon. I had to fight for myself. “There are lots of things that have left unfinished between us,” he
39The wolf was coming to prey on his targeted mouse, watching him coming towards me along with his powerful aura, I had only one thing to do, pray to God that he’d disappear in the thin air or I’d lose my sight but nothing as such sort happened, instead I clearly saw him reaching near me, “Miss. Maxwell,” “Mr. Grande,” My mouth abruptly left out. “Please can you come with me to my office?” He asked, his tone was polite but his aura made it felt like otherwise, I gulped the lump of my throat when his burning heat that was emitting through his covered chest hit my skin, he was standing that close to me and I couldn’t lie I was getting under his effect. “I’m sorry, Mr. Grande but I’m not here for you,” I tried to kindly reject him in every way so he would leave my direction. I stepped away to rush outside but he blocked my way. He came closer to the extent where our chests were about to contract, his head buried near my ear and he whispered, “For the sake of my son, I ask you to lis
38Somebody kill me!Only because of Kevin I agreed on going to the place that I considered a jailhouse. Miss. Beckett promised me to ensure Brandon wouldn’t cross my path and I didn’t even want him to. It’s better he would stay the hell out of my way for his own good otherwise I didn’t know what I would do to him. He caused a never-ending formula of pain on me and I didn’t want my heart to burn into ashes again once again when he’d appear in front of me. It was ten past seven in the evening and I was travelling in the cab to that spooky mansion after my work. I promised myself never to turn back there ever but today, I had to break my ego with my own hands after a short span of keeping it. What if Brandon would come across my way? How would I react? No, he better not come in front of me otherwise I wouldn’t be able to hold back my grudge or maybe tears too. Where he had become my biggest enemy there is a soft corner in my heart that yearns for him and tells me to give him a chance
37Two Months Later I couldn’t believe I was still alive and very much stable after two months of the worst period of my life. Life was finally coming back to its track and I couldn’t be much happier. I thought I’d be dead in a day or few when I was in San Diego but I didn’t lose. I left my past back in there and got back to where I belonged; Los Angelos, leading a new stable life now. I was still in Eliana’s apartment, moving as soon as I get my first salary. But the thing was I was alone in her apartment because she moved in with her boyfriend; that poker-faced Ryan. I wished the best for her, she was the one who helped me like no other and at least I could pray for her betterment. I would never forget her favours, I was actually indebted to it with my life. Alright, enough with the emotional episode, now let’s get back to reality. I mentioned working. Yes, luckily I got a job in this month, it was hard to find but scratching every corner of newspapers and job search site, I was
36I walked out of the mansion with my suitcase packed, I didn’t care who was calling out my name and why. My goal was to pass the mansion’s gate and hop inside the booked cab. That was it. I would never trust anyone now, perhaps this was my wake-up call so I would make sure to stay away from love affairs in future.I again heard my name being called out by the man who I was loathing the most at the moment, I spun around when his callous hand pushed me his way, I was forced to glance at his face, there was a time when I wished to keep looking at him for hours and now, I just wanted nothing more than to avoid him. “Dove, you can’t leave me just like this. You’re my official girlfriend.” There was a hint of whine in his tone. “And what makes you think I would stay with you after I learnt your ugly side?! How can you be so disgusting, Brandon, you were my everything!” My eyes filled with tears but I kept them unshed. He wasn’t worth my tears. “Yes. I know I did wrong, I admit it but p
35I was shivering badly. The picture I held in my hand was of a girl lying naked and unconscious on a bed. Her body was bruised with the same purple and red marks that I had after the night of the movie premiere. I couldn’t stabilise my nerves, I held out all the stack of pictures that laid remaining in the drawer. And with each passing picture of different girls fully naked and bruised got my breath heavier. Tears were forming up in my eye sockets. A sudden hit of the emotion of running to save my life from the abuser hyperventilated me or he’d kill me for finding out all of this. My hands were unstoppable, I kept swiping the pictures to make my brain accept the fact that the man who I called my boyfriend had such stuff in his private wardrobe. He was a famous celebrity who was being adored by millions but the ugly truth about him made me instantly abhor him. Tears blurred my vision as they were flowing without my permission. Just then I saw what I prayed never to see again, I wa
