Kiara's pov:
My eyes felt heavy as I tried opening them and I felt some strange pains all over me. A mixture of sweetness and wetness.Have I fallen sick? Why does my body feel heavy as if I performed some thorough job last night? I quickly arranged my hair in a bun as I tried sitting up.I felt my stomach churn and a slight pain down there, making a soft moan escape my lips.Why does it feel like my laps are burning? I felt this needy feeling against my wish.Taking my eyes toward my body, I gasped in shock. What am I doing in my birthday suit?Where are my clothes?I couldn't comprehend what was going on, I felt really confused and the strange responses my body was giving me made my heart skip.My boobs felt heavy and my nipples seemed more sensitive than ever. I grazed my tits in an attempt to inspect my nipples and check the reason for the sudden color, only to let out a soft moan.Surge of electrical current flowed down my spine at the contact and I shivered with a moan.Does this mean I'm aroused? Is this the feeling I watch on TV?Of course not! I can't be aroused when I've not been stimulated. I read this in books, you need stimulations for arousals."What if I've been stimu..." I couldn't complete the sentence for fear of actually having done it. That explains my nakedness.I tried to lift my legs and my pussy twitched with wanting."oh..mhm," I moaned against my wish.This has to stop, masturbating was never my thing and I can't start now. Whoever left me unsatisfied was wicked.What the Fuck? Am I being silly right now? This should never have happened in the first place. I shouldn't have been so carefree, what if I become pregnant? did he not use protection?No, it can't be. I tried not to imagine the worst.Were those sweet experiences real? Did they fucking happen? How could I have been so clumsy?I covered myself with the sheets in shame, trying hard not to shed tears. What on earth have I gotten myself into?I only remember drinking due to anger and that mean guy willingly helping me out. I wanted to say goodbye to Emma, did he take advantage of me?Fuck that bastard! I knew he couldn't be trusted. He knew I wasn't in my right mind, yet he did this to me.But you enjoyed it! my inner mind shouted somewhere in my head.Still it shouldn't have happened. Can't believe I lost my virginity to a stranger."don't cry Kiara, he doesn't deserve it." I consoled myself even when my heart was bleeding.I wiped my tears slowly and paused abruptly as the possibility of the impossible actually becoming a reality struck me like thunder. My face was bare, exposed!"No, no..." I chuckle, "it can't be. He couldn't have seen my face." I doubted, forcing myself to be optimistic.you can't lie to yourself. I'm doomed.I failed at everything. The most important rule of my life, I had broken. "Keep your identity a secret, and don't step outside the house,"If Eric finds out, I'm a dead meat.Most importantly, I broke the rule I gave myself, to keep my virginity till I find someone worthy. But what did I do? I gave myself to a lousy pervert!Last night was the greatest mistake of my life. I have no one to blame but me, coming to the club was a mistake, one that could affect me in the near future.I should have just gone home. Speaking of home, what am I still doing here?In my miserable state of lamentations, I didn't realize I would be in a much bigger trouble in the next few hours if I don't get home now.I glanced at the clock and almost fainted, only to jerk off the bed and pick up my rumpled clothes.This is all a mess. My life is a mess!How could I have forgotten I was supposed to be home by now? It's been hours already and Eric was on his way back, luckily, I still had an hour.I quickly put on those skimpy clothes which I luckily found on the floor. Not thinking of a short bath or makeup, I zoomed out of the room. After all, desperate times call for desperate measures!I can't waste the little time I have in a bathtub or even with making up. Right now, every second counts. I suddenly wished I had wings and could fly or better still, teleport myself.I walked into the dressing room after inspecting the hall thoroughly to be sure no one saw me leaving the VIP room, else that would be double trouble. I might lose my dignity as well and become a subject of rumor which definitely would lead to my name spreading across the club thereby exposing the little identity I had remaining to protect.I don't want to appear on social media either because some desperate reporters do come to clubs, not for fun but for news. I'd just hang myself and forget about going home if that ever happens.I entered the room and smiled with a prayer. It was empty like yesterday morning and other days as usual. I guess they were off for practice.I didn't get to say goodbye to Emma as I didn't get the chance. Also, looking for her would mean wasting the little time I had left, as each ticking sound of the clock reminded me that punishment awaits if I return late. A huge punishment.The last time I broke a rule, the outcome was unspeakable. I had to watch him kill someone and that too, a new friend I made at home.No friends!That's why I have to forget Emma because I don't want to lose her as well."For survival you have to stand strong, swallow your pride and do the needful. Enemies are everywhere and I don't mind killing your friends to fish them out. Friends make you weak and lose focus. They make you dependent and slow-witted. Is that how you plan to take your revenge? By displaying weakness. Kill your friend if need be. To be on the safe side, have no friends!" Eric's daily preaching attacked my brain again.You know, for years I've believed him. But after meeting Emma, even if it's just for a few days, I've come to cherish her and she doesn't make me weak but rather, I try the craziest things because of her. Like wearing a skimpy dress to a club. Something I would never do.I should explore as well, don't you think? I'm going to become Rapunzel again once I get home and trust me, I might never see the sunlight again.Not that I was mistreated. In fact, I receive special treatments, good meals, enough clothes, exercise and the rest, you name it. I was just deprived of communication and movement, because Eric believes once my identity is known, I would die and as well put him and his Mafia gang in danger. So he makes sure I'm protected. You can call me a blessed prisoner.But what did I do in return? I slept with a stranger who probably must have seen my face. Thank goodness he doesn't know my name but the billionaire did look dangerous. I hope I never run into him again. I wouldn't even know because I didn't even get a glimpse of what he resembled, so how was I going to avoid him? That's going to be difficult and I knew that.It's impossible for us to meet again! The world isn't small, we can never see each other again. If he goes left, I go right. That's how my God is going to do it for me.I quickly change into a simple dress, I should at least look decent on my way home. I grabbed my waiting bags and fled.My heart was palpitating rapidly and one more mistake, it’d drop to my belly…Lucas's pov: HH was a hotel with five stars ratings due to its efficiency in handling top confidential clients. I parked my car at the personal parking lot. As the owner of the hotel, I had several privileges. The guards led us to the VIP room, where I’d meet Kelvin. Kelvin was seated on the couch at the corner of the room, sipping champagne. My eyes roamed around the room and I sighted a guard on stand as well. He stood up as soon as he saw me and we shook hands. "I can't thank you enough for your help," he started, smiling heartily. "Friends are better than brothers uh?" I joked. He smiled but didn't say a word, instead he poured me a glass. "You and your brother need to put an end to these absurd fights. You both are just creating an imbalance in the Mafia society." I continued sternly, legs crossed as I accepted the drink he offered me. "It's not my fault. Mark is unbelievable, he won't just stop annoying me." He complained, his countenance signifying abhorrence and enmi
Lucas's pov:The next day, my schedule was free so I was going to meet up with Kelvin and his step brother. These unremitting wars had to be abrogated.Inside the shower room, I took a quick bath. With a towel tied to my waist, I walked out, desiccating my moist hair with a piece of woolen towel.On stepping out, I ceased my steps as my eyes rested on her figure. She was still here, bringing out the clothes I asked her to wash from the wardrobe.I observed her, she was wearing a mini skirt, probably the one I bought her. I noticed she was always wearing baggies to conceal her sexy shape."Why are you still here?" I asked, taking a seat on the bed, the towel resting on my hair."I figured as your maid I have to get your clothes ready," she replied, looking at me intensely.Has she finally accepted the fact that she belonged to me? Probably."You don't have to." I countered, walking over to the wardrobe where she stood."Here, I selected these," She impulsively shoved a white and blue s
Kiara's pov:Eric was exultant to hear the news. I gave him details of everything I espied and what I think was the reason why he made such a surplus supply. He was like a hungry dog eager to eat bones which are the news I fed him. He didn't care or ask how I was coping with these whole new scenarios or how much it affects my sanity. My options never mattered then and it still doesn't.I dropped the telephone, with a sigh, disappointment laying bricks in me. I lurched when I noticed Lucas approaching me.No, not him again!!!His calamitous eyes rested on mine, perforating holes inside me. Holes repleting skepticism and hatred.I gulped, the tension in me escalating beyond restraint. His impenetrable eyes and inscrutable countenance give little away but I sure knew what would happen next wouldn't be nice."I was just making an urgent call," I explained, without waiting for him to ask. I knew he must have seen me, so lying would only increase his curiosity.He stepped closer to me, tr
Kiara's pov:"What are you? a friend or foe?" The unfamiliar voice repeated, this time the gruffness of his voice doubled.My heart dropped inside my stomach. I felt my breath cease at once as my soul dissipated. I knew I was guilty but was this going to be it?The moment I finally die?Maybe?"I–" I coughed and spluttered, tears coursing down my face."Be reasonable with your answer because both have consequences," He warned, shoving the pistol inside my hair.What does he mean by that? That meant either way I was already trapped."I…I'm a slave," I replied instead, closing my eyes and praying silently that he doesn't pull the trigger."And What's a slave doing here?" He asked.I tried to turn but he fixed the gun firmly on my head. "One shot and you die. Don't try anything funny, raise your hands,"I lifted my hands slowly above my head with trepidation, literally angst.No…I can't die this way.The adrenaline surging through me whispered two words - fight or flight?In my small hea
Kiara's pov:It's been 216 hours since I got here, 9 days since I last contacted Eric and four days since the fainting incident. Yet, no news. There isn't anything strange or beyond the ordinary that I had to report.Everything was going smoothly so far except the part that involves my correlation with Master Lucas Hayes. He grows more haughty and malevolent with each passing day. Always finding fault with everything I do, his harsh criticisms pealing in my ears as my broken heart continues to shatter - tripling my hatred and disgust for him.If anyone was to be blamed for my fainting scenerio, it had to be him. It's clearly his fault because I worked my bones to the core because of his high and rapacious demands.Yesterday, he returned early out of the blue and demanded his lunch be served without delay. Since I had no idea he would be returning earlier than his usuals, I wasn't prepared.I ran helter-skelter about the kitchen, trying to figure out what I should prepare before he b
Kiara's pov:Echoes of gunshots and grenades engulfed the air….Their shrill cries advanced with the choking air, unfurling chaos inside her tiny head and painfully attacking the little girl's sanity.A little girl sat helplessly on the floor, scared as she was being traumatized by the piles of human cadavers lying scattered around, amidst the fire explosion. As the environment got deeply engulfed with hot flames, so did the innocent wails increase, singing a hopeless song. She was just there, her little eyes witnessing the ugly situation. Her eyes were blinded with hot tears, just as her heart shattered into several pieces. No one seemed to have noticed her, for they all seeked solace and their own safety, abandoning the little girl at the mercy of the flames."Mom!!! dad!!!..." She wailed, sobbing.Like a miracle, an elderly man appeared in front of her, his clothes covered in blood from the shootings and war."Don't worry child, mama and papa are in a nice place," he spoke softly,
Kiara's pov:With a heavy heart, I left his room and flounced down the stairs imprecating curses on the day our lives tangled.At the kitchen I resumed my cooking tutorials, with Mama Brown handling the class. I stood beside her, carefully observing every detail she practiced.I wasn't just doing this to impress Lucas, in a way it was for my own good as well. I'd love to garnish my own meals myself as well. "Once the water is boiled, we add the per boiled rice. Check the rice at intervals and ensure it doesn't get burnt. Lucas loathes burnt meals," She warned strictly, adjusting the knobs to control the flames from the cooker.I nodded."Here, select the ingredients for tomato stew." Mama Brown passed a bowl of ingredients towards me.I collected the bowl. Taking a seat, I picked the ingredients and separated them. She had taught me the ingredients to use and I learnt that pretty fast.After selecting the spices to be used, I passed the bowl back to her and helped with chopping the v
Kiara's pov:Just as she was about to step her in, I trapped her foot with the door."Ouch!" She flinched."I'm so sorry, just give me a minute. Step back a little," I apologized, adjusting the door for her to remove her leg. I rested my head on the door, so she wasn't able to see me clearly.She grumbled and pulled her leg out. I shut the door immediately, running over to the bed to get my wig. It wasn't there.It wasn't anywhere."shit! Where are you? come out wigg...I need you…." I murmured needly, my eyes scanning the entire room like a weapon detector. Except I wasn't looking for a weapon but a fucking postiche.Frankly speaking, if I was the wig, I would rather not come out. After all, she had hurled me infuriatingly at the wall last night.After some minutes, I sighted a little ginger colored hair behind the blue silk curtains. Smiling, I picked it up, dusting it carefully as I sauntered towards the framed reflecting surface, forgetting someone was waiting in front of the door
Lucas's pov:I turned on the shower and laid in the tub for a few moments, using a mask to cover my eyes. The tepidness of the water, invigorating my bods, dispersing neutrality. After some minutes of tranquility, with my muscles and joints fully relieved, I stood up from the bathtub and covered my nudity with a towel hung at the hanger stand. But then I noticed a set of white frillies on the hanger as well.I gawped in doubt, completely baffled as to why a female undies was lying attractively on my hanger.I heaved, completely nonplussed due to the improbable sight before me. I took them off the hanger, the feel of the silky fabric on my hands sent tingling sensations over my skin.Damn!"She's so uncoordinated, but yet, she attracts me with her silliness," I smiled, closing the bathroom door.If her undies were here that meant her bag should be somewhere in this room as well. I took my time looking for it until I spotted it under the bed."Very likely of her," I sighed with a chu
