Blue's POV:

I thought I was getting better. I really did. I lay in bed replaying everything, trying to see what happened. I looked to see where everything went wrong. Why my life had to be soo miserable.

All these years, Tom stripped away myself layer by layer until even my bones had no trace of my personality. I lost sight of the girl I used to be.

The problem was that I wanted to be Loved so badly. I couldn't tell it wasn't love. "You're so much better than that" Damian's words clinged to my heart.

I tossed and turned my mind refusing to settle. Every time I closed my eye all I could see was Damian. The way his lips had felt on mine, soft yet insistent, sent shivers down my spine.

My body had responded in ways I hadn't expected igniting a warmth that lingered long after the kiss ended. It was just too much to handle.

With a frustrated sigh. I swung my legs over the side of the bed. My heart racing as I made my way to the kitchen. Water. That's what I needed, I picked a bottle the co

    Blue POVHey, pretty girl," a middle-aged man in a blue suit catcalled me, slapping my behind with his hands, and I cringed. I knew working here would come with some insults and abuses, but it was just getting too much. I couldn't reply because they were VIP customers, and I didn't want to lose my job. So I ignored them."Don't tell me you're shy after acting all coy " one of his friends commented, I felt disgusted and anger engulfing me, but I just continued serving them their drinks without a word ." Answer me when I'm talking to you " the VIP guest yelled, pushing me hard to the floor, " you think you're Soo high and mighty don't you, cause you look pretty ? after all the work you had done on your face " he spat vigorously."I can tear you apart right here and there's nothing you can do about it "he played with the hem of my shirt a disgusting smirk plastered across his face "Don't act like you don't sleep with men much older than me for money, it just makes you more filthy than yo

    Blue's povI walked back home, ecstatic about the fact that I had managed to avoid the loan sharks; at least for today, only to meet Mom and Indigo on the cold, bare floor weeping.Our house had little furniture in it because we occasionally had to sell some off to pay our bills. But we only left the bed so we'd at least have something soft to lay our heads on."What happened here?"I ran towards them, feeling a stab in my heart. I couldn't bear to see them so weeping, mad, and broken like this. "Our lease is due, Indigo started. ""We have to pack out by next week."Those words felt like a bomb had hit me full-on. "What do you mean? I thought we still had some weeks before it expired," I asked in disbelief. "She said we've been paying under for years now; she can't keep being so lenient with us anymore; she has a family to feed, my mother explained.I slumped to the ground. Where were we going to find another home? We were dead broke. To top it off, with the amount of debts we had to p

    Damian's POVAs the final terms of the deal were settled, she extended her hand; the firm grip countered the echoing weight of our agreement, and I smiled politely.In that brief moment, while shaking hands, something caught my eye, a flash of familiarity in those golden brown eyes. But in fact, the ones in my memory were null and void yet oddly captivating, stirring memories of the girl I had seen at the bar.The image of her getting on her knees begging for forgiveness when in fact she was the victim. Such a pathetic being, yet she looked so breathtaking while pleading on her knees that I couldn't help but wonder how gorgeous she might look in that position as I stuffed her with my arghhh…I tried shaking the thought of playing around with her; how fun exactly would it be? That piqued my curiosity in me."Your daughter's nanny interview is taking place at 12 noon. I have cleared all your schedule today for that." "Hmmm," you may leave. I waved my secretary away; there wasn't any use

    Blue's povI stood before my manager in the dimly lit office, my hands trembling. "Please, Mr. Jerkins, I need this job. I can work extra hours and take on more responsibilities... Just don't fire me," I pleaded, my voice breaking.He just leaned back in his chair, a scowl etched across his face. "You think this is a charity, hmm, Blue?" "You're always just apologizing, always acting pathetic. Maybe if you're in such desperate need of money, you should consider other options. You have a great body; go sell it or something and stop messing up my office floor with your filthy hands." He waved me dismissively, his tone dripping with annoyance.My heart sank. I had just been fired from my part-time jobs at the supermarket and cafe this morning, leaving me with only my dwindling delivery tip, which I had until next week to leave.Why is this happening to me all at once? It seems like someone deliberately wants me to just suffer for walking on the face of the earth.My mind couldn't help bu

    3rd point of viewBlue stood silently in the corner of the dimly lit room, the weight of her family's decision pressing heavily on her chest. The air was thick with unspoken words and the scent of impending change.Her mother and sister hastily packed their belongings, abandoning her as soon as things went wrong. Their faces were etched with a mixture of determination and a pretense of despair. After they had received the notice just days ago. This a stark reminder that their time in this small, cramped apartment was coming to an end the rent rising and the landlord's ultimatum echoing in their minds, the family faced a serious choice.They had no money or savings to secure another place, and the thought of living on the streets was a terror they couldn't bear, so when the invitation from their Aunt Sarah came in, they jumped at the chance. They decided to go live at their aunt's house, a sanctuary for some but a place of discomfort for Blue; her aunt had only enough room for two, a

Damian moved with an effortless confidence; he approached her, the corners of his mouth curving into a playful smirk as he took Blue's, pulling her closer.His eyes dark and smoldering locked on her, he leaned in, his breath warm against her ear. "What are you going to do if I say I want you now?" he whispered. "I want to feel you; how else will I know if you're worth the pay?" The words hung in the air, charged with an electric intimacy that made her heart race. What exactly have you gotten yourself into?

  • The Night embrace    Chapter 7

    Blue's POV My eyes fluttered open to the stark reality of my surroundings, the leaking roof, and the cold, hard floor pressed against my sides. A reminder of the events of the last two days came rushing in a haze of worry and regret. I shifted slightly, wincing at the sharp pain that shot through my spine. It felt as if that decision I had made recently was being etched into my body one throb at a time. Since that night I had spent with him, my back ached from the activities we had practiced, and I had spent the last two days in solitude... I didn't want to see him again, but I didn't have the choice, nor the money or time. Even if the nightmares get worse, I'm already at rock bottom. With a heavy sigh, I rolled over and reached for my phone. The familiar weight of it is both comforting and unsettling. The screen lit up, revealing a view of missed calls. Damian's name caught my attention above all others He would be furious; I had left as soon as I woke up and didn't bother to sh

    Chapter 8: Damian's POV I felt the golden hue that danced across the glass walls painted on my face stirring me awake, the faint. I opened my eyes instinctively, turning right only to find the sheets rumpled and empty. A fleeting sense of disbelief washed over me before it was simply replaced by amusement; I couldn't help but smile. "Yeah, it's much more fun this way," I mumbled to myself, running my hands through my tousled hair. Last night was amazing, better than I had expected. Sitting up slowly, I observed the remnants of our escapades scattered across the floor; my shirt lay crumpled near the bed, but her clothes were gone, with only the condom packets on the floor. I stretched, feeling the pleasant ache of muscles that had been put to good use and couldn't help but wonder where she got the strength to slip off so early in the morning. I thought she would be fucking sore after last night's event, but that didn't seem to be the case. She had probably slept with a lot of men

    Blue's POV"Do you have sex with my dad?" Nora asked her voice cutting through the cheerful ambiance like a knife. I nearly chocked on my drink, wide eyed, taken aback "what?" The question hung in the air surreal and heavy. This was not a conversation I expected to have over boba with an eight year old."Sexual intercourse" she elaborated her tone causally that I felt a mix of disbelief and shock. How did this little girl know about such things?Nora noticed the worried look on my face "Everyone in this generation knows a thing or two about sex Blue, no need to overthink this" she said standing up from her seat. "Besides you don't have to answer if you're uncomfortable".I opened my mouth to respond but no words came. I didn't want to lie, but the truth felt to complicated to explain to a child. After our outing, my mind raced with thoughts of how to bring this up to Damian.How do you tell a father that his daughter is curious whether her nanny is sleeping with him?. How did she eve

Mr Thompson, my chauffeur kept his eyes glued to the road but my mind was racing with thoughts of what had happened to Blue. And then I saw a flash of her dark brown hair swaying as she was walking down the side walk."Stop!" I shouted, the excitement bubbling up inside me. Mr Thompson hit the brakes asn I jumped out before he could even say a word.I hurried towards Blue my hands on my hips trying to look serious. Though couldn't help the smile tugging at the corner of my mouth."Aren't you meant to be in bed, resting?" I said my voice dripping with playful authority. Blue turned around. Her surprise melting into a grin."Aren't you meant to be on your way to school?"She shot back and we both laughed the sound brightening the quiet morning."I just wanted to get a gift for someone special" she said her cheeks tinged with a hint of bashfulness."Me?"

The dim light barely illuminated Alex striking features accentuated by the flickering shadows "step within five feet of her and you're gone" he warned his voice low and menacing, a predator stalking it's prey.The three figures tied to a chair flinched at his words, their muffled cries, barely escaping the fabric binding Thier mouths.I wish I could feel sympathy for them but the disgust I felt was overwhelming. They had tried to hurt Blue. Torn apart the fragile peace she had managed to build. The irony of it all–those who should have protected her plotted her downfall.

    Damian sat in his sleek modern office ,the soft hum of the technology sounding. He was deep into a project when his personal driver, Marco called. The tone in Marco's voice as urgent, cutting through the usual calm and Damian's day."Sir, Miss Harper has been in the apartment for a while now, she notified me if she didn't come out in a few minutes I should call for help" Damian raised an eyebrow, irritation creeping into his voice "I don't remember my number being 911" he ended the call trying to redirect his focus back to the spreadsheet on his screen.But just as he settled back into his work, his phone rang " Kitty" flashed across the screen and an instilling feeling settled in his gut.

    Damian leaned back in his chair, the dim light of the room casting shadows across his sharply defined features. The laughter that erupted from him was hearty but edged with something raw, something Blue couldn't quite place.To her it sounded crude, a ravenous noise that echoed through the tension laden air between them. "You think I'm like those horny ass men who'd do anything for a spread leg or do you think I'm that easy?" He challenged, turning his chair to face her directly."I own you, so I decide when you get into that pussy of yours."The intensity of his gaze felt like a physical weight pressuring down on her and she instinctively gulped, holding her breath as if the very air between them had thickened. "I'm sorry.. I just" Blue began but the words caught in her throat as tears streamed down her face.Confusion flickered across Damian's features, his brow furrowing in disbelief "the hell you crying for?" He asked frustrated, running a hand through his tousled hair. Sighing as

    3rd point of viewThe door clicked shut behind Blue as she settled Nora into her room with a sigh of relief, she slipped into her coat and laced up her sneakers, her mind already drifting to the night ahead. As she stepped out into the cool evening air, a sense of unease settled in her stomach.Damian had been buried in work lately, leaving her free from her nightly duties. Part of her relished the break, her back still ached but the pain was subsiding.The cab ride to her old apartment felt like a journey through time. The streets blurred past, but her thoughts lingered on the memories that haunted her. Each recollection was a shadow of hardship—poverty, tears, and struggles that seemed to stretch on indefinitely.She couldn’t recall a single joyful moment, only the weight of disappointment and the echo of broken dreams.As the cab pulled up to the familiar building, she took a deep breath, steeling herself for what lay ahead. The façade of the apartment looked the same, but to her,

    With a tentative knock, Blue waited, her heart racing. The door opened slowly, revealing Damian; water dripped from his toned torso, glistening in the soft light of the room, accentuating every muscle and curve. The towel hung loosely around his waist, giving just enough of a glimpse to tease the imagination. Without a word, he stepped forward, his intentions clear. In one swift motion, he grabbed her by the waist, pulling her closer into the room. The door clicked shut. Blue gasped. Instinctively trying to push him away, but Damian was relentless. He flung her onto the bed, the sheets cool against her skin but the heat radiating from him so overpowering. "Damian, wait!" she protested as he began removing her shirt, his fingers brushing against her skin. She struggled, trying to find her footing, but it was futile against him overpowering her strength. "Seems like you've forgotten the details of the contract." His voice was low and smooth. A warning. Blue's heart raced as he captu

    Blue's POV:As I entered the cafe, my eyes scanned the outdoor seating area. There he was, Tom, seated at the table near the entrance. I watched his face light up as he spotted me, though a flicker of surprise crossed his features. "Wow! Blue, you look different," he said, his gaze lingering on my attire."It's nice to see you too," I replied, seating myself in the chair across from him. I could feel his gaze, but there was an edge to it. My stomach twisted slightly in confusion. "I'm sorry I couldn't contact you all this while; I just had a lot on my plate." "I don't mind really; I've gotten used to it already. "I shrugged, the words pulling from my lips more bitterly than I intended."Thanks, it's so nice to have an understanding girlfriend," he said, clasping my hand with earnestness, and I couldn't help but smile wearily but felt a pang of frustration deep within. "More like someone you can take advantage of." I thought bitterly, the realization of my situation weighing heavily
