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. Despite knowing her for the first time, she never acts like they are strangers. She has been keeping her company until she was called by the Head maid. She asked Ariel to ring a certain bell there in the room if she needed anything. Now that she left, she is back to being bored; she struggled to reach for balcony in the room, for some fresh air.
She caught a glimpse of the compound. It’s huge and beautiful, with colourful flowers and magnificent status used to design it. She sighted some men in black standing at certain positions, who are they? She thought…
“Maybe they are guards” her subconscious stated
They were much and it made her wonder who the guy that brought her really is. Is he a celebrity or what, the mansion alone shows that he is indeed wealthy.
“Hmmm, thank God that I fall into the hands of a rich person, I won’t have to think of what to eat or what to wear again” she smiled
“Really, what if they are a mafia gang, look at those guards, they look deadly. What are you been gonna tell him about yourself if he eventually ask, you might be doomed you know” Her subconscious state as she gasp in fear. Immediately, a knock came on the door, she was too scared to go open it, she doesn’t even know who is knocking, is it Elsa or Aiden, she thought. After several knock, she found her voice
“Ermmm, come in” She ordered, and he popped his head in, before coming in fully
“Hey…good evening” he greeted, she could only nod
“So, how is your ankle now…the doctor came right?” she nodded again, he chuckled at her behavior. Perhaps she is still scared, he thought. She stared at his hand holding some bags
“Oh..here…I got you some clothes and other things..I want you to feel comfortable before you get back on your feet. I will ask the maid to help you arrange them, feel free to tell me, if you need anything okay” he muttered and turned to leave
“Aiden?” she called in her softest voice, while he turned to look at her. She wondered why she called him in the first place, she should have let him go, she thought.
“Yes??” he cooed
“Erm…thank you..thanks for everything..i’m really grateful” she shyly said, Aiden smiled and nodded
“You are welcome” he mumbled and left…
“Gosh…” she breathed out, seems like she has been holding her breath all along
“I should have just tell him that I needed fresh air, and get out of this room. Stupid me!!” she cursed and check out what he bought
“Oh my God, these clothes are beautiful, they also look expensive”
She brought out some under wears and shriek in amazement
“Clothes…shoes….make up?? Hmm, weird…and…pants!!!!!! Huhn…this guy is…huunn..well he is nice though” she cooed, blushing hard.
**********
A Suite**
“Are you sure about this, Jackson” Juan asked worriedly as she watched him pack few clothes into the box. Jackson is her newly found boyfriend; although they have known each other for a while now. He once booked her for a night with her and they ended up falling for each other.
After their second night together, they planned to elope; but made the escape plan a steady step. Miss Peggy knows nothing about their plan; neither did she know Jackson as someone who has fallen in love with Juan. She only knows him to be a client who came seeking for a prostitute to have a night with.
"Yes…don’t be scared okay, you will be safe with me” he assured, folding more clothes. Her face fell, sadly as she remembers last night encounter
“I feel like a bad friend, I shouldn’t have left her, I should have gone back to search for her. Only God knows what might have happened to her last night. She doesn’t know her way around here, what if the bullet got to her..what if she is dead” she sobs as tears rolled down her cheek
“Hey…stop this…” He muttered softly, leaving the clothes as he moves closer to her, caress her cheek and kissed her. Within the few time he has spent with her; he has find out her weakness and solution to stop her from crying, and that is a kiss. He nibbled on her lips for a while, before breaking of the kiss. He smiled and stared into her hazel eyes.
“You are not a bad friend, perhaps fate wanted it to be that way, and whereas, I only booked two tickets, I never knew you will come along with someone. She might not have been able to come with us, if you had brought her. Let fate decide for her and us for ourselves. She will be fine..trust me” he assured; she nodded and cleaned off her tears wearing a soft but sad smile. He squeezed her hands, pecked her lips and went back for the luggage.
“We need to leave now, I won’t want us to miss our flight” he muttered
“Where are we moving to? She asked
“Paris”
“Wow!!! I love that city” her eyes glinted with joy
“Yea..sure you would….come on lets go….everything is set
***************
Back at the Hotel**
Miss Peggy hurried to Juan and Ariel’s hotel room, when the other girls gave her the report that they are missing. She couldn’t believe it until she went to check for herself. They found their luggage intact, and the room seems to be well kept.
But how did they get out, because she remembered locking each of their rooms herself. She only assigned her partner who came to see her, to unlock the doors by handling the keys over to her that morning. Shock beyond words, she thought hard on what could have happened to the girls.
“Did they just vanish or what…check the room properly, check under the bed” she ordered the security men, which she had called to solve the problem
“This room is empty ma’am, no one here” they said to her
“Nooo!!!!! They escaped, but how” she yelled, as her eyes wander round the room and stopped on the window. She hurriedly went to check it and sees a rope tied to it. It looks strong and long to the ground.
Her mind got set on fire, she flared staring at the other girls with hatred and bitterness; what came over Juan, why did she leave, she thought.
She remembered picking her up from the slum and giving her a better life which other girls will long for, not only that; she adopted as her daughter, although not legally; being that Juan’s parent are nowhere to be found, Juan believes they are dead.
Now, is this the way she pays her back, by running away with one of her pets? But what baffles her most is the escape plan, how did they manage to get a rope as long as that, which could reach the ground floor of a three story building; were they not scared of height? And how did she know about the room she will be sleeping in that night? ‘
“Why did Juan leave, was I harsh to her?”
All this thought kept rushing into her mind, as it became dawn on her that Juan has been to that hotel several times. No wonder she insisted on going along with a big bag, instead of the usual moderate bag she do carry. Juan is smart and she was too busy to check the bag she carried, the rope might have been in it, and Juan might have measured the length. The escape plan might have been in her mind all along for a long time. She might have been making such arrangement bit by bit.
“We need to bring the police into this; they might help us find them. I’m sure they left last night, they won’t have gone far. They will still be in the country, even if they are not in this city” Scarlet, her partner and friend, said
“No..we can’t tell the police about this, they might find out about our secret job. Juan is very smart; she might have secret evidence about us, without our knowledge. Bringing the police into this will only send us to jail” Miss Peggy gritted
“So what are we gonna do, leave them to run away…jeez, Mr. Brady has paid you already, to have a night with that Ariel girl you were talking about. He won’t be happy if you couldn’t deliver her in time, and you know that he is a bad ass, I don’t want you to get on his toes.
“I won’t” she barks, scarlet rolled her eyes, and folded her arms
“I know how to find them without involving the police..get me my phone, I need to call the Kick ass”
“Kick Ass? That deadly gang?” Scarlet scoffs
“Yea..they are good in tracking people..all they would need is their photo and nothing more” she smirked deadly, while scarlet heaved in relief
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
Chapter 14.Seduction Don’t Work On Me.Aiden POV“Leave her alone…” I muttered, stepping out of the crowd as I walked to where Ariel stood, freeing her from Shirley’s grip. After my movie shoot that morning, I decided to go to school, it’ not like I really wanted to, but I need to fulfill my promise to Ariel, by going to see her. I was about going to her department when I sighted a little crowd, with a student who was trying to bully another.

But she always know her place when it comes to I and Axel, she dare not go beyond her boundaries.Shirley is a dancer; she also has her own crews which are known for the best dance steps, of which she is leader.
