CHAPTER SEVENTY EIGHT
MY CHEEKS WERE ON FIRE
Hunter grabs onto the shirt but I swat his hands away and take it off myself. This was my last choice of being clothed. I’m not about to let him rip it because of how horny we are. Once I’m done, he grabs me and lifts me up before wrapping my legs around him. His hip bone
CHAPTER SEVENTY NINE“When she came back to town and became Xander’s tutor, I didn’t know what to do to get rid of her but Xander had gone to fuck her and it gave me the perfect excuse to throw her out personally. She was just looking for a wealthy guy to tie her down and that Fucker Xander almost became a victim. She was like a recurring nightmare, Coming back whenever nails run down my back.” I hold his hand and rub them, comforting him and smiling at him. He’s calm and peaceful but he’s pulse is racing so fast.
CHAPTER EIGHTYTHE FUCKING BITCHI stretch my hands and press her into me. I want to feel he
CHAPTER EIGHTY ONEKAYLA POVI sit in front of the broken mirror in the bathroom of my single room apartment. It is also located at one of the worst sub burbs of New York, Mottvill.Yaaay, the perfect runaway hideout and best place to die quickly.Note the sarcasm.The apartment is shitty and the water has stopped running for three days straight but it’s what my money can afford so I suck it up and bear with it. I was glad Aunt respected my wishes to let me transfer schools after I told her I remembered what I did and didn’t wan
CHAPTER EIGHT TWOHUNTER POVShe doesn’t.She doesn’t come back and choose me.It’s been two weeks now and I’m dying slowly on the inside. It’s tearing me apart. She didn’t come back. How can she keep denying us?I even broke my word and went to her house today. Rosa had the freaking n
CHAPTER EIGHTY THREEHUNTER POV III have to see her at least. Just one more time or else I might just go crazy. I need to know how she’s doing.
CHAPTER EIGHTY FOURHUNTER POV III“Bad day Ha? Want me to take care of you? Make it better? Get some stress off ?” A girl about my age who is wearing too much dark makeup and is dressed scantily says when I look up.“Fuck off.” I say and begin to roll my window up but then I stop midway.“I might need your help. Do you know Kayla Frisks? Pretty girl, blonde hair sh
Chapter EIGHTY FIVEShe runs to the piece of shit and helps him up as he clutches his nose and groans. “I’m sorry.” She apologizes. She’s apologizing to him? “Don’t fucking apologize. Kayla, Let’s go.”I grab her by the hand and yank her up. Her wrists feel cold and lean in mine. Has she not been eating well? I pull the cheap and fake leather jacket off her and throw it to the ground. “You’re not staying here any longer. Let’s go home.” I say and yank her along. She’s wearing a tank top and Jean shorts. Her cold and hard nipples are poking against the material, begging for me to twist them painfully and punish her. Fury blinds my eyes. That fucking son on a bitch must have been having an eyeful. I suppress the murderous thoughts. “Let go of me. I told you it’s over. I’m not going back. This is my home now.” She digs her heels into the ground, resisting, but I ignore her protests and continue to drag her along. Her nails come up to scratch my arms. “Let go of me, King!.
KaylaI walk back home after school. I decided to walk this time round so I can clear up my mind. Walks are healthy, right? But I’d forgotten the risks that came along with walking alone especially in my neighborhood, Mottville.I was about to climb the stairs up to my room when a hand grabbed me by the arm and pulled me down. I jump in fright and nearly fall down, but manage to catch myself in time.What the heck!!?I turn to glare at the culprit. It was the guy that tried to harass me in the morning.I yank my arm out of his with a scowl on my face.“What do you want?”“Some pussy.” He says, grinning with tobacco stained teeth. His awful breath washes over me again.“I don’t think you’re going to have any. Can you smell your own breath? I don’t know which stinks more. Your breath or your personality. It just makes me want to throw up.”I swish my hair in his face and proceed to go upstairs but he grabs my hair and drags me down. I yell in pain and blink back the tears that try to st
EPILOGUE !The Christmas ball was soon beginning and I’d be expected to be beside my father as we were the hosts. The ball room was the former basement which had been renovated into a ball room. It was first my mother’s hideout but now it was a ball room. I didn’t want the memory of Hannah to dampen my mood today.I stand at my balcony with the glass of champagne I’d grabbed downstairs before coming up, watching other people from above. Maybe I wasn’t really watching them, I was more of looking for someone, Kayla.It’s been hours already and she wasn’t coming. I’d gone in to the theatre room several times to check on her.Okay fine, I meant to spy on her, but her blinds were down and I couldn’t see inside her room. This year, I had a reason to buy her a gown. The previous years I just had to watch Jonathan buy her gowns as gifts but this year I told him to not buy her gowns and that I’d give her a gown for the ball. A knock comes at my door and I go to open it. It’s Martha. “Youn
Chapter Hundred and oneHunter’S POV.I throw my phone against the wall in my fit of anger. I felt powerless. I was Hunter King. I wasn’t supposed to feel powerless but I did.I called Kayla and asked her if we could talk about everything that happened but she just said she needed some space to process everything by herself.By herself.Which meant I had to stay away. She doesn’t know this but, I needed her to breathe to survive. I almost went berserk when I was told she wasn’t pregnant. I refused to believe it and when the doctor tried to convince me, I had lost control and punched him in the face. Security had to come and throw me out.I told her to use the child as an excuse to be with me but now she could leave me at any moment. We weren’t tied together anymore.It hurt.I couldn’t lose her and our child. Losing one already drove me berserk. If she left me this time, I don’t even know if I can survive.My house bell dings and I run downstairs like a giddy teenage guy. Fuck, but i
Chapter HundredHow long has it been since I got out of my room and lived? How long has it been since I came back from my coma and shunned everyone out and locked myself up, depressed and crying for the child I never had?I don’t know. Janel, Xander and Asher came to see me at the hospital but apparently they have a grudge with Hunter so they haven’t been to the house since then. Aunt grounded me when she heard about the false pregnancy and gave me the whole responsible sex talk. After that, I was taken to the hospital and placed on birth control.Hunter must be having it worse than me. He found out about his mom and the child. For Hunter to resort to violence when adults were around and ruin his golden boy image, he must be taking the news harder than I was. I should go and see him and stop telling him I needed space to process everything. What’s there to process again? We were both not okay and needed each other. Everything is finally over. No more secrets. Nothing. The least I can
Chapter Nintey NineI hope you can forgive my rush decisions. I’m sorry I made you worry. I know you cared for me. Please forgive me.It’s black and nothing and I’ drowning. Several gunshots are fired. But I don’t feel a thing. Am I dead already? Is that why I don’t feel a thing?Crap, I wish I had another chance. I don’t want to die without making him pay first. I don’t want my child to die with me. I can’t regret coming here. I had no choice while my father was watching. I had no choice but to follow his orders. I didn’t know his emotions will take over that he would choose to kill me so quickly. I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack but I didn’t get it. You’re right, Hunter. I am weak.Nothing I feel nothing.I hear nothing.What is nothing again?........Nothing is a black unawareness of everything. “Kayla, Kayla wake up.” I hear someone’s voice. It’s familiar. It’s distant. It’s inviting me back to something. Back to someone. Back to what
Chapter Ninety EightA screen lights up and a video begins to play. It’s a recording of my father and a lady talking. He seems to be hiding the camera from the lady, so I don’t get to see her face.“Do you regret what we did?” the lady asks my father. Her voice is disturbingly familiar.“I don’t know. Do you?” My father replies.“Of course not, that bitch had it coming after she betrayed me. She pretended to be my friend and used me. I took her out of the trash and gave her a life. How does she repay me? By trying to take Jonathan away from me. She knew he was mine from the beginning but she steal dug her filthy claws into him. She deserved a more miserable death.”“I agree, although Rosa interfered and took the girl so she’s still alive.”“Fucking Rosa. I took them both out of their wretched lives and this is how they repay me. I was wondering when you were going to tell me you were incompetent and that you let Kayla live.”“I didn’t know you had it in you to murder a child, Hannah.”
Chapter Nintey SevenMEETING MY FATHERI grab my hair on my head and refused to cry, instead I gnash my teeth with anger. I was not a victim. I was no longer the girl he kept locked down in the basement as he hit her mother upstairs. I could now defend my loved ones. I won’t let them be like mom. I won’t let him hurt anyone any longer.I couldn’t protect mom from him then, but now I can protect Hunter and Aunt from him.This time round, I won’t let harm come to anyone I can protect. And if all I have to do to prevent that is to face that devil, then so be it.Car lights catch the corner of my eyes, the gate opens to let him in. At first, I think its Hunter, but then I notice it’s not his car. It’s not my father too because he wouldn’t dare come in. He’d be dead by now not driving towards the worker’s quarters. It’s my opening to get out without being caught. I recognize the driver. He was part of the workers in the garden this morning. He drives into the mansion and towards the wor
Chapter Ninety six .Rosa OR Hunter?I gather a few clothes into my bag. Since I’m only going to the mansion for just two weeks, I don’t need a lot of stuff. I can just come back here when I need anything. My phone dings on the bed and I go over and pick it up. Hunter returned it to me yesterday when we got home. It had been with him all this while. I slide the screen to unlock the phone. There are missed calls from Janel and Xander from when I run away. I really have to see them and explain.I open the latest message from a contact saved as ‘my boyfriend’, yep that’s Hunter indeed. Of course he would temper with my phone. God, he has kept it with him for so long that it doesn’t even feel like mine any longer.“When is your pretty ass coming over?”“Shut up, lewd pervert” “Or do I have to come and get you myself? If I do, we’d be doing a lot more than that, my slut.”“I told you not to call me that.” He is back to his old arrogant self after being extra sweet yesterday. I guess Hunte
Chapter Ninety fiveA STARRY NIGHTAunt, please don’t let me have my way. Please insist or say something to convince me. Please..... There’s a moment of silence before she sighs. It looks like she is going to agree with me. NoMaybe I should just pretend to throw a tantrum like I’m begrudgingly accepting it and then go upstairs to do my happy dance.“Kayla, I know you’re refusing to go because of Hunter but I’ll talk to him. This is very important and leaving you here on your own is out of the question.”As it should be. I do a happy dance in my head but fake a groan and sigh dejectedly.“I’ll go. I’ll go. I’m not afraid of him”Of course you aren’t“He won’t bother you. The mansion is big enough so you don’t have to even see him once during your stay. I know you guys were together and it’s difficult to accept this but please endure for the mean time.”“It’s fine” I say. I’m beginning to feel a little guilty for lying.“Okay then.” she says.I’m watching a movie on my laptop, curled u
Chapter Ninety fourBRINGING BACK MEMORIES?I wake up in the morning half expecting him to be gone somehow, realizing I’m not worth it but the thought vanishes immediately I feel strong arms curl around my midsection, pulling me further into him.It seems too good to be true. Maybe this is all a dream. It wouldn’t be surprising since it’s not the first time I had this type of dreams before.His arms tighten around my midsection further and drags me into him. My mind is in a spiral. I’m refusing to fully analyze the situation. I’m afraid that it’s a dream and I’m trying to stay in dreamland a few more minutes at least before reality kicks in. At the same time, I’m hoping it’s real and there’s no need to be in dreamland to feel this sensation. That’s when I feel something hard against my ass. It twitches against my naked back.It’s definitely not a dream then. It feels too real to be. Too good to be a cruel joke my mind would play on me. I open my eyes and sure enough, it’s Hunter’s str
