2024-10-29 19:42:56As if him being that close was not disturbing enough, I found myself closing my eyes as soon as his face was only a few inches caway from mine.
Park went ahead to land his lips on mine and I lost control of my life. I spread my lips apart to permit him access.
He took that advantage, slipping his hand around my waist. I lifted my back from the bed a little so he could hold my back. I put both hands around his neck and moaned.
It was a spark I had never felt. I knew I had so many questions to ask but at this moment, I wanted to rip my clothes off and feel his hand everywhere. The thought was stimulating and was cut off when he pulled wway as though he had just realised what he was doing.
I opened my eyes, panting to catch my breath.
Like nothing had happened between us, he turned around to leave. I jerked to my feet and ran up to him, "whoa, hold up." I held his shoulder to stop his movement and felt intimated when he turned around. I had never felt so short in my life.
"Um…" I began, losing my thoughts. I quickly regained myself and frowned, "what the fuck is wrong with you? Why did you bring me in here? I swear, once I get out, I'm getting your ass arrested, you fucking son of a bitch. You thought it made sense to leave me here by myself and then you came out here to kiss me? What do you take me for?"
He shifted his lips into a partial smirk, looked away and stood like some supermodel posing for a magazine. "I'm so scared." His sacarsm mocked me.
"You are staying here until we find something to do about you." He assured me, turning around to leave.
"What?!" I gasped, hurrying after him, "you can't be serious. How is this my fault that I saw you? You are making a terrible mistake by doing this. Fuck, what does this have to do with kissing me?" I raised my voice. When I saw that there would be no response birthed from him anytime soon, I switched to an apologetic voice. "Okay but at least let me have my phone, Alex would be worr…" I never got to finish the sentence because he walked out of the room after slamming the door and clicking it shut.
I put one hand on my forehead and the other on my waist, "I need to figure this out." I groaned.
I began to look around the enormous room. There was no way this could be my reality. If someone would have told me I wouldn't be going back home after yesterday, I'd have punched them hard in the face.
I strolled over to the drawer in hastened steps and pulled it open. It was empty except for a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.
"Eww." I scoffed, remebering my old boyfriend and his cigarette addiction.
Giving up with a sigh, I returned to the bed with the cigarette pack and lighter still in my hand. I thought of a way out of this and apparently, there wasn't any.
I began to flicker with the lighter's control absent minded as I tried to make a solution for myself whilst refusing to accept that this was going to be my new reality.
I set a pillow on my lap and stroke it, pretending it was Bowen. "My poor baby, he is probably wondering if his mom is drunk somewhere." I sighed. I was so lost that I had no idea I had struck the lighter closer to the tip of the pillow.
I gasped at the fire that grew on the pillow, stood to my feet sharply and tossed it onto the bed.
"Oh my God!" I shrieked as the bed sheets caught on fire as well. "Help!" I ran to the door, banging hard as the smoke alarm gave off a loud siren.

This did not stop me from increasing my pace. I was out of breath and I had barely run anywhere. The maze of grass was confusing for me but wherever I saw a path, I took it.It was not surprising that one of them soon caught up with me. I groaned, struggling to pull free from his tight grip as he pressed my back against his chest to secure me in place."Let me go you son of a bitch!" I yelled, pressing my barefoot against his. That did not affect him as he held me even tighter."What the fuck is this bitch's problem?" Anthony stepped in front of me, taking my hand from my captive whom I now identified to be Jay. His red hair seemed to annoy me now.

"What the fuck?" I yelled, running towards the bed. I had no idea who she was but I wanted to get as far away from her as I could possibly get."Jenny!" Vic gasped, coming after her. I had climbed on the bed, my hands shielding my face in case of unpredictable attack."What the fuck Jenny, have you gone mad?" He asked her like it wasn't obvious, pulling her back by the arm."This is what you have been up to, huh? You fucking monster. You haven't answered my phone calls in forever, and you refused to see me in the last four months! And I come back here just to find that you are with some...some..." she trailed off and turned to look at me with disgust, "some other bitch!""Hey, watch your mouth!" I snapped back, unable to take the insults."Look at her, she even has the chance to talk back." She was amused by my response and was not hiding it. "I could kill this woman." She cried, failing as she
The Rich Man's secret 8: Blood
“There is really nothing to know about me.” I began and it was the truth. How was I supposed to tell him that I was a sex worker? I would normally not care but for some weird reason, I did not want Anthony to judge me.“Let us go to bed then.” He shrugged, getting to his feet.My eyes followed this movement. There was so much to know about this strange man. I was yet to accept that this was reality. How did anyone just suggest going to bed when they thought there was no solution to what they were looking for.“Okay… I reluctantly accepted, standing up after him.Anthony led me to a different bedroom with a strange familiar scent I couldn't seem to remember. Sitting by the edge of the bed while he stood by the door got me to realize I was actually tired.Who would have known that after I had taken coffee this morning, I would be spending the night at a rich man’s mansion.“I will talk to
The Rich Man's secret 9: Come with me
I stood still in confusion, wondering what Vic was referring to. It was after a few seconds it hit me."My period?" I wondered."Oh, shit." He was panicking too much for his own good. He opened the back door and leaned in to grab a jacket.He pulled me closer to him so my back was against him and proceeded to wrap the jacket around my waist. I held my breathe in that short time, wondering what he was going to do to me."I'm so sorry." He pulled away after securing the jacket in place, "I had no idea, else, I'd have found a way to stay home and let you get ready. You must be so embarrassed." He couldn't maintain eye contact with me."For one, you look like the embarrassed one." I teased, pulling the sleeves of the black jacket he had used on me, making it tighter. "I lost track of my date. It's fine." I shrugged, "just get me some pain killers and a tampon and I'll be fine. It's just blood, calm your horses." I chuckled. I thought it was cute
The Rich Man's secret 10: I kissed him
Anthony didn't wait for me to make my mind up. He walked to my side, held my hand and led me out of the room after shooting a glare at Vic. Something was definitely up with these two."What do you want?!" I snapped at him, releasing myself from his grip. I didn't want him returning to the cold version I had initially met. I doubted that I would be able to keep up with it."When you two went out, where did he leave you?" He asked me."In the car?" I said with furrowed eyebrows. "Why are you getting so mad? I didn't run away or anything. If you didn't trust him, then why did you let him take me along?" I wondered. These men would never stop amusing me.Anthony clenched his fist by his side and nodded, "fine, let's head back into the house." He said."Wait." I stopped him, holding his hand. He looked at it for a few seconds before looking at me."Sorry." I apologised and let go. "Listen, you guys have decided to keep me here and you won't doubl

"What are you doing?" Vic was astonished. He was not taking it how I thought he would and if I was being honest, I had no idea what I was doing either.I had just kissed a stranger out of nowhere. I thought it wasn't my fault, and that it had to do with being trapped in here but I didn't want to stop now.Men were weak, like I knew from experience.Instead of responding to him, I landed another kiss on his lips and this time, he received it gladly. His body calmed and reacted to my demands.I hugged him tighter and pressed my breasts against his chest in
The Rich Man's secret 12: Son of a gun
Without wasting time, Vic and I jerked away from each other, sitting upright in bed. Something about the way Anthony was staring at me did not sit right with me. I thought that was bad enough until he moved his gaze to Vic. I followed his eyes movement and they stopped on Vic's hard crotch.I swallowed and tried to break the uncomfortable silence, "A..Anth..."I couldn't finish my sentence because the next thing I knew, he was coming for Vic.Vic was faster, standing up to his feet. "Anthony I swaer, it's not what you think." Vic tried to be convincing.He was not ready for the huge blow to the nose Anthony gave to him.It caused him to tilt his face amd hold his nose, while I stood sharply on the bed. I was just about to witness two men fight over me and I was certainly not prepared for it.Anthony would have thrown a second punch if Vic hadn't stopped it with his grip."What the fuck is your problem?" His eyes had gone a blood

I felt multiple emotions run through me at the same time. I was panicking and staring at the bleeding man, "you have killed him." I continued to chant in fear, backing away from bogh men.Anthony just bent down to check for a pulse. "He's alive." He spat on the floor. His knickles were a bright red and he was drenched in sweat."Well, are you gping to call 911 or are we just going to leave him here to doe?" I was worried. The fight seemed so rushed, yet so deadly."Antonio is a bustard.""You didn't tell me you had a twin brother, or that he was crazy. How many more secrets do you have for wellness sake!"

I pushed my hair into a ponytail, licking my lower lip that was dry just so I could feel calm."We have to leave now." He simply said."What?" I frowned, wondering if he was in his right senses. "I thought you said it was safe here." I recounted his words from earlier."There's no time to waste, just hurry up." He sounded impatient and scared and that got to me."O… kay, do I take my bags or nah?" I was already walking to his side."No." He held my wrist, a little too aggressive if I was asked."Well," my eyes averted to my dog sitting in a corner, watching the

I hurry to text Jay, Vic and Five all at once to inform them, pacing back and forth. Whoever had her would be far gone by now if I judged with the time since I came back into the room.I stuffed my hands into my pocket, the last trace of sleep in me having vanished into fear and anxiety. I thought of all the possible places she could be, and who would have left the note. It couldn't be my dealers, they would never kidnap her, they would rather just end her life.I tried to rack my head for what it could be. If it was not some sort of sorcery, the security in here was too tight to let anyone slip away like that.Vic returned my text to remind m
The Rich Man's secret 18: Shocking moments
"Why?" I raised my eyebrows. Seeing him brought back his words from earlier and I would do anything to discard him from my sight.Anthony exchanged a look with his friends and like they were communicating in a different language, the other boys left to do what they wanted.Anthony took a chair across from me, pulled it out and sat on it, his hands on the table. "I'm moving you out of the house, we know it is clearly not safe to stay here anymore, plus, taking you to the fight, you know the rules of the game, everyone on street will know about the fight, and there is a possibility we bump into Alex, and you can get enough time to explain things to him." He said.
The Rich Man's secret 17: The fight
I woke up the next morning to an empty bed. I was still naked under the bed sheets. I pushed the blanket up to conceal my other breast that was out. I held the blanket to my chest and looked around to see if I would catch sight of Anthony anywhere. He couldn't have left me, this was not some hotel, it was literally where he lived.On cue, I heard flushing sounds from the bathroom, accompanied by running water.Anthony came out of the bathroom drying his hands with the towel. Seeing his face brought back instant memories from last night. We had sex for hours, round after round. I had no idea when we had slept off. When he was still staring at me, I offered him a gentle smile that wiped off my face when he looked away with… a glare?
The Rich Man's secret 16: Home
Anthony seemed to be waiting for my reaction when he pulled away. My gaze darted over his face for a second before I pulled him closer for a kiss. That stirred up whatever hidden emotions we conveyed.We maintained the touch of our lips as we backed towards the bed. I let his back be our sight until we hit the edge of the bed. Anthony fell flat on the bed and I on top of him. Uncompliant strands of hair fell to frame my face even after I pushed them backwards.Like a planned work, he took my shirt over my head. I was grateful I had gotten rid of my tampon beforehand because this was definitely leading to something.Submissively, I allowed him to toss my shirt across the floor, I loved the rough man he was birthing in the heat of the moment.
The Rich Man's secret 15: Kiss
"It's an anxiety attack." He muttered under his breath, taking me by surprise. Anyone came off as the type of man that was mentally strong. "Oh my God." I swallowed, leading him to the bed. "Do you take pills for them?" I hated that I had no education on these sorts of things so I was lost on what to do. "Call Jay. Tell him we are at the wooden cabin." He muttered, panting heavily. With shaky hands, I took his phone from him and hurried to search for Jay's name on his contact list. His screen was cracked and I knew it was from the effect of the accident. "Are you okay?" I turned to Anthony while the phone rang. He shook his head but it was a lie.
The Rich Man's secret 14: The rich man's secret
The car was no longer in Anthony's control. I was panicking too much to even want to pay attention to his situation.Even in my seatbelt, the bumpy trail down that hill caused me to hit my head against the roof of the car, my face against the glass and it kept on like that.I saw death face to face and in that moment, there was nothing but blankness.We got to the end of the hill but there still was no control over the car, especially at the speed it was going.There was a huge tree just in front of us and right before we crashed into it, Anthony used the air bags.The force from hitting the tree brought the vehicle to a halt and the smoking car filled inside with fumes that caused us to cough hard."Are you okay?!" He asked me, out of breath. How did he have the strength to talk?He hurried out of his seat belt and helped me out of mine.Anthony came out of the car and I tried to go out the door on my side but it was stuck. I re
The Rich Man's secret 13: Someone's following us
"So you will remain standing where you are." Vic frowned, his target being Anthony."What is going on?!" Jay cut in, stepping forward.This was the only thing that could bring Five to pay attention. He put his phone town and stored at Vic like he was a mad man.I didn’t think they were shocked to see that he had a damn gun. I was terrified and could die on that spot if someone didn't intervene in the next second."Let her go." He snapped at Anthony.Anthony held my hand tight, keeping me behind him. His grip was so firm, it was starting to hurt my wrist. "I’m leaving with her and there is nothing you can do."I thought Anthony was crazy. This man was literally holding a gun, loaded for that matter."Damn, I said let her go!" Vic yelled, shooting at the ceiling.I had heard gun shots in movies but I never knew they would be so loud.I shrieked and pulled free from Anthony, blocking my ears from the after effect and a loud
