CHAPTER FIVE
(She is cute)
They were coming back from the supposed show meant for Axel, and were in a hurry to get home
“No, I did not hit her” Aiden defended himself
“But she looks lifeless, I guess she fainted, what are we gonna do…perhaps we take her to the hospital” Ryan muttered
“No”
“No????” Ryan yelp
“Let’s take her to my house, she might wake up tomorrow and find her way”
“Oh really…gosh..She is such a damsel..so pretty…what will a pretty girl be doing out here in this quiet place” he asked no one in particular. Aiden sighed frustratingly
“Ryan..Will you stop admiring her beauty and help me lift her into the car, Gosh..you are so annoying” Aiden snapped
“Fine…ok..let’s take her in…
***********
Smiling mischievously, Ariel walked down the corridor of a glamorous mansion. Her hair was perfectly designed and her cloth, filled with colourful embroideries, making her looks like a princess. She walked further to the balcony, in order to behold the beautiful sight of the city, crammed with lovely people.
She feels happy, free from sadness, free from pain and dejection, free from poverty and rejection.
She heard silent footsteps behind her and tried looking at the approaching figure; but he was swift. He pushed her face to the front, making her hit the balcony and gag her mouth, preventing her from screaming.
“Haahh” she gasps, and fluttered her eyes open. It was just a dream.
Still in shock, she stared at the room she was in; this doesn’t look like her home in Africa, she thought. Immediately, memories of what happened lately came rushing into her mind; from how she left home for the states, to the hotel and the escape plan.
“Gosh” she snickered, sitting up on the fluffy magnificent bed
“Juan..oh my God…where is Juan” she muttered worriedly.
“I need to get out of here” she muttered inwardly, as she tried getting down from the bed, but stopped, hearing a voice. Someone is in the room, but where? She thought as her eyes wanders round the room.
It went for the balcony and sighted someone, a guy, making a call. She couldn’t see his face, but he has a good physique.
“Ok….I needs to go now, bye” he muttered, going into the room. He smiled seeing her awake; the smile alone could get a girl wet. He is perfectly created; having lovely eyes, soft and spotless skin, perfect abs; curly hair with pink lips, even a blind man could testify his beauty.
“Hey…you are awake, how do you feel now” He asked, she gazed at him not knowing what to say. He tried coming closer to the bed, which made her flinched, having this scared look
“Oh…sorry..don’t be scared okay…I’m not gonna hurt you, I’m Aiden, what’s your name” he smiled
“I….emm…my name is Ariel” she mumbled, staring shyly at him
“Wow…Ariel, pretty name…so, Ariel, how do you feel now, are you hurt anywhere” he asked with a concern look
“No I’m not…where am I? How did I get here” she stated, staring at his curved lips
“Didn’t you remember anything..i mean about last night” he asked, she frown wondering what he is talking about
“Don’t get me wrong, I actually knock you down with my car yesterday, or perhaps, should I say you suddenly fainted in front of my oncoming car, I did not really hit you, but I think I scared you tho, I’m sorry about that anyway” He shrug
“I brought you down here to my house later on, I couldn’t leave you there” he muttered, sitting on a chair close by, she nodded taking her lip into her mouth
“Hmmm, fine but I need to get out of here,,,,my friend is in danger, I need to go” She rushed her words and got down from the bed in haste, she wince and touch her ankle.
“Hey..are you ok” he asked, coming close to her as she leaped back to the bed. She actually twisted her ankle while running last night, but didn’t feel the pain at that moment; now it hurts like hell
“My ankle,…it hurts” she cried out, as he help her sit on the bed
“Just relax okay, I will get a doctor for you now. I will send a maid to check on you and give you the necessary things you need…just feel free okay, you are in a save hand, don’t try to leave this room, okay” She nodded, while he smiled and went out
“Gosh what sort of pain is this..ahhnn..but that guy looks familiar, I can’t just remember where I saw him” she thought
“Huhhnn, have you ever met a white man before, idiot!!” her subconscious said
“Yea, sure..but I do watch their films and…hmmm, well you are right..i hope Juan is safe, I can’t afford to lose her now that we just became friends” she frown
“Huhh, friends…well she is safe, remember that she told you about knowing someone here in the country…she should be worried about you, and not the other way round” her subconscious said
“Hmmm…yea..now about the dream I had..what sort of dream was that…” she muttered, going into deep thought.
*********
Getting out of her room, Aiden went directly to the maid quarters and assigned a maid to Ariel
“Hey you..” he called, as the maid hurriedly went towards him, bowing a little
“There is a particular girl in the guest room, I want you to get her some food..help her with her bath..and, just take good care of her. You can take one of my sister’s cloth for her to change into..i don’t want any complain”
“Ok sir” she replied
“Good..i’m going to the mall now”
“Ok sir, on it sir” she muttered and went on the errand
He immediately calls his personal doctor and explained things to him, and he promised to be there in a Giffi. Ryan’s call also came in, after he finished speaking with the doctor.
“Huhn..this crazy guy is calling” he scoffs and picked the call
“Hey Pal what’s up” he smirk
“I’m cool, so what’s up….is she awake” Ryan asked from the other line
“Who?”
“Huhn, stop replying me with a question, you know who I’m talking about…” he snapped
“Oh..the girl..why do you wanna know? The Ryan I know won’t call me in the morning to ask of a girl, what’s wrong with you, I hope you are not having eyes on her” Aiden scoffs
“Come on guy, it’s just a harmless question..we were both present at the incident, so there is nothing bad in me asking about her, what are we friends for…” he muttered, Aiden chuckled
“Ok…fine, she is awake..although she has a little injury on her ankle, but my doctor will take care of that”
“Wow, that’s good news…so is she pretty, I mean, she is pretty, but I believe she will be more pretty now that she is awake” Ryan smile, Aiden groan
“Hurrg, why the pretty statement all the time, don’t tell me you are crushing on her already” He warned
“What if I am” Ryan smirks
“Well I’m gonna kill you, get your eyes off her, I need to go now”
“Wait wait….wait, what’s her name, is she a slut or she is innocent…”
She looks innocent to me, she is not your type okay…just get lost” Aiden yelled
“But you have not told me her name…” Ryan whined, but got no reply
“Hello…hello Aiden are you there” he muttered and checked his phone, but the call has ended already
“Hushh” he cursed “Bad guy”
Aiden hissed and went into his car, after collecting the keys from one of the guards. They wanted to go with him, but he declined. He thought of what Ryan said and smiled; Ariel is indeed pretty, but he won’t try to rush things with her. He need to really find out who she is, and where she comes from before taking a step, he thought, with his heart leaping for joy.
CHAPTER SIX(She eloped; find her)It’s been hours now since Aiden left; and Ariel have been feeling bored. The doctor came earlier to attend to her injury; he gave her some pills which he said will reduce the pain; and it indeed work. She couldn’t still walk well but she could still leap around the room. Aiden told her not to leave the room, and without the help of Elsa, she wouldn’t have been able to do anything.Elsa is the maid assigned to her, and did a good job in helping her take her bath, change her cloth and gave her good food to eat. She was shy at first allowing someone to bath her, but she had no choice; apart from the pain in her ankle, she also had pains all over her body, perhaps from the race she ran or stress from the flight, she thought.But Elsa is indeed a nice person; she never complained but does everything perfectly. Despit
CHAPTER SEVEN THE NEXT DAY** (Who is he?) Ariel woke up the next day, feeling a bit of relief; the doctor really did a good job. Her stomach rumbled immediately, making her jerk of the bed to ring the bell. She remembered having dinner yesterday, but what will make her damn hungry this morning, she thought. “Perhaps because of the drug you took” her subconscious stated She waited for a while and ringed the bell again, but Elsa wasn’t coming, where could she be? She thought. Walking briskly into the bathroom, she freshened up and changed into one of the clothes Aiden bought for her. It suits her perfectly and she wondered how he managed to get her size. Her ankle seem a bit fine, she doesn’t seem to be limping like before, she could walk a bit with the foot on the ground, now. Having dres
CHAPTER EIGHT(She cheated)Aiden came in view, looking gorgeous as ever. Elsa quickly bow in greeting and hurried out of the room, not giving him a glance. He delved his hand into his pocket, and waked closer to the couch she was sitting on“How is your ankle now” he asked“It’s…it’s..fine” she shuttered, avoiding his face; he nodded“So….can I know more about you now, I mean….you have been here for two days now, sorry I haven’t been here to see you since morning, but I believe your parents might be worried about you now….so can you tell me where you came from…so that I can take you back” he muttered, taking a seat on another couch, as he stared intently at her.She suddenly felt hot inside, what is she gonna tell him, she thought. Will she have to tell him everything that happened in the hotel and how she escaped, but what if this guys is also a client, and if he isn’t, what will he see her as….a slut who escaped from her mistress? She doesn’t know their culture here, they might see
Chapter Nine(He hits her)Axel POV“What the F-” Michael snap, but was interrupted by the shock on his face with later became a smirk. Flora tried to cover up her body, having this look of shame on her face, I believe none of them actually expected me to be in the house that hour; else they would have made a proper arrangement“Hey bro…what are you….” I landed a heavy blow on his face before he could complete the sentence, throwing it at different angles. He manage to dodge some blows, but the first actually made him nut. He tried to punch me back but Flora held him back, begging us to stop the fight but it all fell on deaf ears, as I send another punch into his stomach.He endures the pains, kicking me and sends blows to my chest. I groan slightly not ready to give up, not minding his naked body, I punch his nose hard making him bleed. At this point, Flora came to stand in between the both of us, she was crying profusely begging us not kill each other, as I send angry glare at her.
Chapter 10(Taking Her Innocence)Barging into Ariel’s room, Aiden walks in angrily making her flinch a bit at the bang of the door“Hmmmph” he sighs trying to control the anger welling up in him“I’m sorry for barging in this way, but you need to get dress, we are leaving” he muttered“But….” She tried saying, but he was out of the room already. She sighs wondering his sudden change of mood. Does it have to do with his parent fight? She hasn’t seen him that angry before, but she believes that he will come around after everything is settled. She doesn’t think she will like to live with an angry Aiden; she really won’t feel comfortable around him, seeing him that way.Without wasting more time, she started changing into a more suitable dress, and not up to five minutes, some maids hurried in after being summoned. They assisted her by packing some of her clothes into luggage, making her wonder the type of journey she will be going on, that will require much clothes.Aiden headed to his
Chapter 11Meeting the B**ch.Two weeks laterStaring at herself, in the mirror, Sophia smiled, admiring her look. No doubt, the hair stylist has done a good job by styling her hair perfectly just the way she wants it. But being a rude and proud being she is, she is never gonna admit it, or even show a bit of appreciation.“You look like a princess dear; the hair looks so good on you, same with the makeup. It makes your perfect face more perfect” The stylist grinned, she scoffed“And when did I become your dear…save that miss, it’s not that perfect like I wanted it. But in order to save the time of you losing and re-making it again, I will just take it like that” Sophia spat The stylist felt a bit sad, but she dared not show it, instead, she kept on smiling; but one could tell that it wasn’t genuine. Sophia’s phone rang and she picked it up immediately, putting it on her ear.“Hey babe…..”“Where the hell are you…idiot….” Emma spoke from the other end“Watch your mouth…I’m not an
Chapter 12The Get-together.Ariel POVSchool was a bit hectic today and I couldn’t help but sleep off on getting home. The loud sound of the thunder storm jerked me off my sleep, it’s raining already. Yawning loudly, I drag my lazy self down the bed, as my stomach made a rumbling sound.I was actually so tired to eat lunch when I arrived, now I will have to fill this stomach.I went into the kitchen to get something to eat, but found Josephine doing the dishes, and that reminds me of what I had in mind to ask her.“Hey…..good evening” I greeted with a smile. She turned swiftly to face me, smiling back“Good evening ma’am……”“Come on Josephine….just call me Ariel…I’m tired of this ma’am stuff” I groan, taking a can of drink from the fridge. She smiled, taking off the gloves on her hand as she made to dry it with a napkin.“Well…..i don’t wanna lose my job….” She snickered“But you calling me Ariel can’t make you lose your job…and whereas we are age mate. You can just call me by my na
Chapter 13.The Bullying The next day“Damn……hargghhh…this is just so f**cking bad” Sophia groan, swinging her pillow across the room, as Emma tried dodging the swing. The three friends are actually in Sophia’s room, watching the former as she rants out in anger.“Chill girl..I still need my face for tomorrow’s shoot” Emma scoff, picking up the pillow from the ground“Shut the fuck up Emma, you need to understand Sophia here, she is in pain” Nina Chipped in“And so what? She shouldn’t be screaming her lungs out just because Axel refused to kiss her in the game, why get worked up about a silly kiss”“Well, let’s just say you were too drunk to actually remember the whole events that took place last night, you were busy fucking Zach, bitch” Nina snapped, Emma frown as they both gaze at Sophia who was sobbing slightly“It’s not my fault, I was drunk..so what really happened?” Emma asked“When the bottled was spin, it was Axel’s turn to pick a dare, so I dared him to kiss Sophia, since t
