Sonia bit her lower lips, holding the smile back. He chuckled, then he asked again. “ Do you mind if I. . .” He was interrupted by the sound of his ringtone. He checked on his dialer, it was one of his business partners. “ Give me a second.” He excused himself. Sonia sat alone, slowly sipping on her drink. It was much harder than the whiskey she had drunk. She held the glass cup in her hand, staring around the room when someone came to sit on Luci’s chair. “ Someone owns that chair.” She informed him. “ I know. But he’s out, isn’t he?” He asked. “ For a while. He’s on a call but he’ll be back soon.” “ Well, while he’s out on his sweet call, why don’t I keep you company in his place.” He said. “ Thanks, but I can wait.” She insists. “ Don’t worry, I ain’t staying for a long while. I will even leave before he shows up.” Sonia was growing uncomfortable in his presence. She was looking around, praying earnestly that Luci would show up and distract their conversation.
**(TORTURE ROOM)** Sonia’s screams filled the whole place as two boys whipped her badly, her mouth was already filled with blood but they didn’t stop since it was an order from Venom. Sonia became quiet after some minutes, it became hard to scream out, she had become too weak for that. She just allowed the tears to flow down her cheeks freely, the type of pain she was feeling on her back at the moment, she was sure her back was badly peeled already. She was losing hope, maybe this is really going to be the end for her. Maybe Luci won’t make it to her before she dies in the hands of these monsters. But still even though the pain was too much to bear, she wants to live. She doesn’t want to give up so soon. ‘Someone……help…..please’ she cried inwardly. ‘Luci. . . I. . . need. . . you.’ Suddenly the door opened and a guard entered. “Stop! It’s an order from the boss!” He said out loud and the boys whipping Diana dropped their hands at once before facing him. “On whose order?
Sonia struggled but the lady’s grip on her jaw was so strong for her. “When they see your pretty face is destroyed, they will learn how to negotiate. “ She drops her jaw forcefully. Sonia fainted. Racheal left the torture room to where Venom and the rest of his men were. “How was it?” He asked. “Well, it wasn’t as stressful as I thought. But I think I dealt with her enough.” “ Good job.” * * * “ What now?” Mrs Sotomayor asked, restless. “We have to do something fast about this or they kill my daughter. “ “ We can’t do anything now. “ Cynthia protests. “Why?” The both parents asked. “Master ought to know about this first before we give out to their demands.” “ There is no time to think about that now, Cynthia. We don’t know when the master will reply. It might even take days, and who knows before then Sonia might be dead. “ “ I can connect to him. Since he’s used me to pass his message to you people, I can communicate with him. “ She suggested. Mr Richard
Sonia groaned painfully as she struggled to sit up. She managed to step out of the bed but stumbled to the ground trying to walk. She held the edge of the bed, finally standing to her feet. She walked to the bathroom and thankfully a maid walked in. “ What are you trying to do?” Asked the maid, surprised she could stand on her own. “ I. … I’m feeling hot, I just wish to take my bath.” She said. The maid drops the tray contained with her drug on the table. “ Let me help you.” Sonia managed to walk inside. She sits in the warm water, while the maid scrubs her body gently. “ Does it still hurt?” Asked the maid. “ Yes.” She said weakly. “ Master has ordered for a new drug, hopefully it will work out speedily for you.” She said confidently. “ Master?” She repeated. “ Yes, our Master. He is the one who saved your life.” She told her. After the maid had helped her, she deepens herself into the water, leaving only her face outside. She wanted to reduce the pains from the sc
His feather light fingers drags across her breast as his face hovers over hers. “ I don’t take stuff like this easily, are you sure you’re ready for this?” He asks almost like a whisper to her ears. Sonia wouldn’t say a no, it has always been like a dream to her. “ Oh, yes.. Yes, I am.” He spins her wrist over her head and grins before trailing hot kisses down on her neck and chest. His tongue playfully teases her nipples. Their lips came together in a passionate kiss, and she felt like she was on fire as his hands trailed down her hips. She stroked her hands across him, to feel the muscles of his back, pulling him more close as if she wasn’t getting enough of his lips on hers. Her body seems to melt against him. He could feel the press of those firm, full breasts against his chest as he wedged a thigh between her. It was a delicious torment. Suddenly, he flipped her over so that they were chest to chest. He groaned as her skin heated on his. Her blood pounds in her vei
Sonia woke up feeling disappointed that Luci wasn’t on the bed beside her. She had thought he had left her after their s*x. Was this how her first night with him will be? To wake up without looking at his face? Or did he taste her only because that’s actually what he always been desperate of? She steps out of the bed, still disappointed. She forced herself to stand to her feet. Though her thighs still hurt, she managed to walk to the bathroom for a quick shower. She sat in the bathtub, she never expected this would hurt. This was her second time but it felt like her first. The way he went in and out of her was like couples expecting a baby. She folded her legs to her chest, letting the running water move up to her chest. She stopped the water from running. She didn’t notice Luci walk into her room and into the bathroom. He squats behind her, massaging her joints softly. “ Luci?” She asked. “ Shh-shh.” He shushed. “ How do you feel?” He asked. She turns, facing him. “ I th
“ Did you see who it was?” They asked in unison. “ Yes, but the face doesn’t look familiar. He said he has been watching the van since we left the bar so he decided to follow us because he felt something was wrong.” She lied. “ You never attended a bar, what then were you doing there?” Cynthia asked. Sonia thought of a convincing lie to say in order not to involve Luci into the conversation. “ Yeah, but then I changed my mind. You know, people grow and change. I think I just. . . changed.” “ I see.” “ I still don’t understand this whole thing. How is it possible someone else saved you even after the Master had promised to save you himself?” Mrs Sotomayor wondered. “ Or maybe he must have turned himself in to this stranger to avoid getting known.” Mr Richard suggested. “ Or maybe, he had convinced the stranger to follow the van which took you and get him to save your life.” Cynthia added. Sonia was tired of listening to the fact that it was the Master despite knowing f
SATURDAY:: 7:45PM Cynthia rushed with all she was doing. She grabbed her purse, heading out of the room. She ran through to the stairs but held the handle from falling. Mrs Sotomayor was returning from the kitchen with a glass of lemon juice in her hand, she looked surprised to see how hurriedly Cynthia was. "Cynthia, are you alright?" She asked. "Oh yes, mother, of course, I am. " She answered. She adjusted her gown and dressed her hair, standing before her mother. "How do I look, mom?" She asked. "Well, you look like you're going out on a date." She said, admiring her from head to toe. "Are you going out on a date?" She asked. " Yes." " Wow! With who? " " With Sonia. " The smile on Mrs Sotomayor's face immediately faded. " Yes, she said she wants us to have this sister's night together. You know, it's been a long time since we had a good time together. " She said, sounding convincing. " Well, that is a good idea. But, I have never heard sisters do go out on a date.
Allison woke up, disappointed to see that meeting Dorcas is a dream. She felt sad and she wanted to meet with him in reality, but then she remembered what his mother told him concerning their meeting. They have to be patient for a little while until they meet. But the question is. . . How long do they have to wait for the right time? Allison went to the kitchen, luckily, she met her mother. Cynthia was fully dressed and ready to go to work, when Allison showed up. "Good morning, mom." Allison greeted her. "Morning, sweetheart. How was your night?" She asked. "Fantastic." Allison said, happily. "I can tell from the look on your face. Tell me, what made your night fantastic?" She asked. "I had the best dream ever last night and guess what it is?" "You met with your brother?" She guessed right. "Exactly. I saw both him and aunty Sonia, they both looked good together." On hearing Sonia's name, Cynthia hopes were high, indeed her sister was safe and sound in her new h
ALLISON ? * I was surprised to hear that. Mother never told me this for once all those years I kept asking her, but all of a sudden she is telling me now. Could that mean...? *Could that be mother knows some thing that I don't?* I thought to myself as I stared at her. "Do you know some thing about this mark, mother?" I asked. "Allison. . ." She tried to give her usual excuses but this time I wasn't interested in listening to any of them. "Mother, if there is any thing that has to do with this scar then I have every right to know. Why will you keep hiding the truth away from me? This is my scar, mother, I should know why I have it in the first place. Please tell me, tell me what it means." I pleaded. I could sense she wasn't ready to tell me what's behind the scar but I was determined to know. "The scar signifies the bind you share with the one who also bears the scar. It connects the both of you together, sharing your pains and emotions together. It was given to you b
20 YEARS LATER*** * "Mom?" Allison called from the sitting room as soon as she walked in. "Mom?! I'm back!" "I'm here!" Cynthia said from the kitchen. She went to the kitchen. "Afternoon mom." Allison greeted, pecking her mother's cheek. "Afternoon, sweetheart, how was school today?" She asked, chopping on the green beans. "It was fine mom. What are you cooking?" She asked. "Fried rice, hope you'll love it?" "Dad's favorite? Come on, mom, I love fried rice." She said in a delicious manner. "Why don't you take a shower and get some rest too, I'll call you when it's time for dinner." "Okay." She left for her room. Allison was done with the shower, she stepped out to change into her house wear. She felt a pain on her forehead at the position of the scar, it felt like a burning pain. She groaned, rubbing it gently. "Aahh! Fu*k" she cursed. "When will you learn to be merciful?" The pain seems to be increasing gradually. She didn't want to scream to avoid causing a
Dorcas woke up the following morning, feeling excited. He was damn so happy that he had the chance to see his cousin sister. Now that he has passed his scar to her, he can feel her even without visiting earth. "I saw her, I saw my sister." He said to Sonia who was likewise happy for him. "She looks beautiful." "It's your duty to protect and to take good care of her." "I will, mother." "Good. Have you eaten some thing yet?" She asked. "Not yet." He replied. "I was too excited so I said let me share my happiness with you." "You did the right thing. Now go get some thing to eat or else you grow thin and weak to protect your sister." She teased him. "I will never let a finger touch her hair, I swear." He was determined, and likewise confident in his word. **** Back to Jessica, Dorcas came to realize that he was missing some one. Before he could get to his room, she has already dressed it properly with his food on his table. He was done eating and he decided to take a
Dorcas was as still as a deep corpse, dreaming into the world Luci had created. He found himself standing in front of a brown door late in the night. The environment was a lot different from that of the underworld, leaving him to assume where he was. He offered a knock on the door but there came no reply from the inside. Then he held the door knob, using his mind, he opened the door under his control. He shuts the door close, making his way in. He looked around the building, and he saw directions which led to many rooms. Then he saw the staircase and he decided to follow it to the upper apartment. He made a stop at the last step, glaring around the rooms. He decided to think, to connect his mind with any living creature in the house. He felt his mind was linked to some one. Some one little and young. Her brain was empty and had no thoughts in it. He followed the direction which led to where the infant laid. He opened the door and he made his way in. He looked at the two cou
Sonia noticed how silent Dorcas had become, she looked at him and she noticed he was deep in thought. "Dorcas?" She called. "Dorcas?" She called again, flicking her fingers at him. He blinked, moving his gaze at her. "Yes?" He answered. "You look lost." She said, "What were you thinking?" She asked. Dorcas thought of what to say and avoided his mother from finding out about the maid. Thankfully, she isn't a demon who can read minds. "Nothing." He lied. "Nothing?" She repeated. "But you looked lost for nothing." "I was thinking. . ." "Thinking about what?" She asked sharply. "A woman? Have you found one already? Are you in love?" She asked inquisitively. She remembered back then when she first met Luci, how he took charge of her conscience and she has never thought straight without him getting involved. He was the only one who made her lost in the Pacific, imagining events that happened and are yet to happen. She believes the only reason why one has to think too fa
Jessica walked into the room with a tray which contained Dorca's breakfast. He was still asleep when she walked in. She dropped the tray on the table, then she went to shift the curtains aside. Quietly, began to arrange the room, not causing a noise to wake the young prince up. After she was done dressing the room, she went to wake him up. "Your highness?" She called. "Your highness, it's morning already." She said but he didn't wake up. So she decided to tap him instead. "Your highness? Your. . ." He grabbed her by the hand, causing her to shiver. She stiffened at his hold and he drew her closer to himself, their face close enough for a kiss. He smiled at how scared she was. "I'm awake." He said. He let go of her and she pulled away immediately. She was scared to have any thing to do with him, scared for so many reasons. She was scared of getting punished by the king and queen if they find out that she is so close to him. And she is only trying to save her life, besides, s
1 YEAR LATER*** * Dorcas has fully grown to a teenager, looking almost like in his early twenties. He is tall, fair skinned with dark black hair like his father. His deep sea blue eyes reflect that of Luci, and Sonia calls it the sexiest eyes she has ever seen. He has those long white teeth with pink lips which are so irresistible especially when he smiles. He has long fingers which almost look like those artificial nails women use on earth. He is just a perfect definition of what he is. Dorcas has been reading since morning, Sonia didn't want him doing any thing aside from that. He's been spending most of his time on irrelevant things but today, she had him under her custody and there was no escaping this time. Since Luci told her of his future, that was a year ago, she's been securing it and making sure he never deviates from his future or else he will end up damaging it. "I'm done reading, mom." He said, folding the scroll back. "So soon." She said, not quite surpris
"Now that he has grown, why don't we give him a separate room to stay?" She suggested. "I already have one prepared for him. Starting tonight, we'll have him sleep in his new room." Luci was so sweet at doing things ahead of time and that's what makes Sonia keep loving him the most. She never expected to hear him say that, but she was happy and ready to present the new room to Dorcas by herself. She went to confront Dorcas who sat on the same spot as she left. She walked to his front, squatting before him. "Hey." Dorcas looked away from her gaze, staring in a different direction. Sonia held his cheek, turning his gaze back to her. "Hey." She waved a smile on her face. "I wanna show you some thing, but that's only on one condition." Dorcas was looking at her but didn't give a reaction. "It's a surprise, a big one. Don't you wanna see it?" She asked him. He nodded his head. "But like I said, it's only on one condition. Do you wanna know the condition?" She asked again.
