55. ALONE, COLD, SCARED AND TRAPPED
Last Updated:
2024-06-22 00:00:40BRANDY’S P.O.V.
I woke up to a sponge bath the nurses were giving me yet even with them done I still smelt like smoke, still felt dirty in many places that they had not dared touch but could I blame them, I wouldn’t either if I was them.
There was no joy. There was no sadness. There were no tears. I was just an echo of what once was. All I did was blink, lying there to rot as life went on without me.
Sleep soon took me away after a few hours of blinking and even my dreams were vacant of life. Even in my dreams death clung to me, dark vacant space where I couldn’t even scream.
Pain shot through my body immensely and I embraced it because it was a relief to feel something after being numb for so long yet the pain soon turned gut wrenching.

“Miss Brandy.”I looked up from one of the books that had arrived for me a few weeks back. I had no interest in them until the doctors took me off the heavy drugs. It felt like being free after being buried alive. The color returned around me. Even the pain was appreciated. I didn’t want to go back there again even if it meant dealing with my fear, my heartbreak, my depression, and sadness. I would take that over the numbness that slowly sucked the life out of my soul.“You are going home today.”Bittersweet news. I did not know how to react. I guess, home was better than the hospital, locked in this room alone. I stared down at my bandaged leg and arm. How would I cope at home, alone, with my burns?I had seen them, they were third degree burns, horr

“I have not been in this room in years. My son had the audacity to ban me from his room, in my own house!” A distant voice came as my eyes peeled open. I turned my head, a lot of light pouring in through the window. “This has to go, we have to do it before he arrives.” It was the best sleep I have had since forever. I blinked, feeling so comfortable, so warm. “Look at these curtains. It’s a crime. Come on, call Cole, he needs to get here soon.” If only I could close my eyes again and just drift away but as I tried, it was clear sleep had left me. I peeled my eyes again, seeing the large white ceiling. The room smelt so good and a familiar scent clung to my nostrils. It was in the sheets. I looked down, seeing a large grey duvet that I wanted to snuggle in forever. It felt as if it was massaging my whole body. I was in awe. No longer did I smell of smoke. I felt clean, proper clean.“Where am I?” “Oohh dea

STORM’S P.O.V.“Sir, your arm.”I scoffed, turning away from Amar.Damon was naked, body covered in long lashes, blood seeping from the gashes created by my whip.I didn't care that my arm burned and surely bled, soaking the bandages. I didn’t mind that my burned skin was opening new wounds from me flicking my arm so aggressively.A loud angry growl escaped me as I continued whipping this scum. I wanted his skin to peel, I wanted him to writhe in pain.He heaved out and I pulled back, staring at his face which was clean of all the wounds inflicted on him.His teeth were clenched, eyes staring at me with determination.

BRANDY’S P.O.V.“So, is she the one with the dogs?”Even though we began watching this together, I was the one that kept explaining.“Yes, she is the one with the many dogs.” I said back.“You don't like dogs?”I shook my head.“Good, me too.” My mother-in-law said.In a week she had transformed the bedroom into one Storm would throw a fit over.With the rain pouring, Elizabeth’s friends canceled their brunch appointment which was why she now sat beside my bed, watching the housewives with me on my laptop.

My eyes fluttered open and for a second I just lay there, blinking.Something had woken me up yet as I lay there nothing was heard. A shiver ran down my body but I pulled the cover with my arm and closed my eyes.A door opened and my eyes shot wide open. Someone was in my room. Who was it, what did they want?I did not dare ask who it was, just waiting for the inevitable to happen so I could scream my lungs out.Feet suddenly moved across the room then way closer to the bed only to stop. I squeezed my eyes as if that would make the person go away. More feet patting, moving around the bed then a swipe of cool air as the blankets were pulled back.Wait, what?! The scream was bubbling in my chest. T

“Get a team to clean it, we won't be staying there for long, and tell Ice to make a presentation of all the land we have, residential.”I shifted only to groan out loud as pain exploded on my side. Shit, this was hell. The pills had worn off and everything was throbbing. My limbs were painfully numb, pins and needles on the entirety of them. I clenched my eyes tighter and buried myself deeper into the warm skin right by me.Warm skin? A cloud fogged my brain, making it hard to think clearly.“Hi.”A voice.I knew that voice.Oohh God, I knew that voice! I wanted to lift my head up but failed so I buried myself deep into h

“How about this time?”Storm stepped away and I stared at the large mirror. My frown couldn’t get deeper. I thought by refusing to hire a makeup artist then finally failing to do my makeup would persuade Storm from taking me with him. Tell me why he sat down and watched tutorials for an hour before attempting my eyebrows.“No.” I gasped, dropping my shoulders and frowning even deeper. “ It’s horrible.”“Brandy!” He glared at me and I wanted so bad to be so pissed at him but I couldn’t. The Storm I had been getting every single day for the past eight months I would die for. My husband was my best friend. He was my everything.“I don’t want to go, I don’t want to go!&rdquo

I knew how it went but why did it hurt so much this time. As soon as Storm and I approached the door, I let go of his hand. He walked on faster and got in before me into the room. I turned, and walked away from him. When I was far enough I turned around to search for him. Maybe this time he would be looking for me and scold me for leaving his side but he didn’t. I watched as he nodded and greeted those he thought worthy of his greeting. He continued marching on until he was before his father. They talked a little and by then it was obvious that he knew I wasn't by his side or anywhere near him anymore. He didn’t even search for me in the crowd with his eyes. I swallowed, knowing my job was to disappear from sight and not make a mockery of him. The large room was buzzing and as I searched, I did not know a single person there. Some I recognized but most were just strangers to me. I couldn’t stand in a corner all night long. My leg was already giving in notice that it would rais

I was cautious with unknown numbers, so as the phone rang I just stared for the first few rings before deciding to answer and listen. “Bestie’s wife,”“Urgh, I should have followed my instincts and not picked up.” I retorted, rolling my eyes. “Go ahead, ruin my day Ryan.” Ryan chuckled, “Don’t be a twat, I am calling to make nice. Hendrix’s birthday is this weekend, I bet you didn’t even know.” My eyes went wide, yep, I hadn’t known but Ryan did not have to know that. “I know, I am his wife, sucker, now what do you want?” Such a drama queen. “Let’s throw a party for him. Maybe there with the closest people to him. I could invite the other guys.” “Perfect!” I said louder than needed, instantly regretting it. Ryan already had a big ego, he didn’t need it inflated even more. “Okay, we are doing this together. We discuss everything. This is not your time to shine. My idea.” I rolled my eyes and fell back on the bed. I was trying to think of an insult to haul back at him but faile
HIS SECRET WIFE 111. MY PERFECT FAMILY
The exam kept me busy. I was barely even existing in the same world as everyone. I was in my caged world where nothing but the exam and my books existed. I rarely even ate, just floating through the days until the very last paper. I was exhausted, a shell, hollow, having put everything I had in the papers. I poured all I could and hoped it was enough. That friday, I came from writing and went straight to bed where I collapsed. I was so drained, brain abused to the core. For those three weeks Hendrix hadn’t come nor called. It seemed like a blur to me. I slept from one in the afternoon and only woke up to pee at three in the morning before taking off my clothes, pulling on pajamas and went deeper into sleep. “Morning,” A voice broke through my deep sleep. Slowly, the hold fatigue had on me slipped away. My eyes fluttered, the sun rays bright in the room, someone had opened the curtains and windows. A groan escaped me. I turned, my eyes coming face to face with a very large bouque
HIS SECRET WIFE 110. TO BE HIS
We decided to have a game night that evening. Since it was just the two of us we settled for checkers because I was horrible at chess yet he still kicked my ass. “Someone is cheating.” I said, glaring at Hendrix as he took a swing at his beer. “Someone is just a sore loser.” He threw back, taking a swing at his beer again. My eyes lay on it, holding my hand out. He stared at my hand before holding the beer bottle out to me. I took it, staring at it then up at him as I brought it up to my mouth. His saliva was probably still there. I wanted to run my tongue around the bottle’s mouth just to taste him but refrained and settled for laying my lips where his were, pushing up. I did not even pay mind to the awful taste as I swallowed. How did they enjoy this? It was like piss.I held the beer back to him and he took it, immediately taking a sip while his eyes held mine. The room seemed to squeeze in, my toes curling. I wanted him so much. It felt like I would die without him. He held the

I knew the moment I opened my eyes that I had overslept. “Hendrix,” I cursed, rolling out of the bed. I quickly made it and ran to the bathroom. Why hadn’t he woken me up? I did my deeds then jumped into the shower. By the time I finished dressing up and checked my phone it was half twelve midday. How had I slept for so many hours? Walking down the stairs I could hear chatter and laughter. There was always chatter and laughter in this house. Samantha was a naturally bubbly person. I was here to say hi, grab food then dash back to bury my face in books. Where was Hendrix and what was he doing? He must have been bored, being here with nothing to do.I turned the corner, walking into the kitchen. There was a basket on the counter. “Morning,” I greeted, waving as I walked to the fridge. Before I could even open it an arm caged me. I found myself leaning against the fridge door to turn, facing a grinning Samantha who was cornering me. “Morning, come.” She said, before taking my hand
HIS SECRET WIFE 108. THE PROTECTOR
RUTH’S P.O.V. The week moved in a blur and in that blur the only thing that snapped me from my panic were the routine calls from my husband. The first call was around dinner so he could facetime with Blue which was basically Blue blowing out bubbles in excitement and licking or shaking my phone. It was not hard to see that Blue was taken with Hendrix. Each time he heard his voice his eyes would widened with glee. It was not hard to like Hendrix. Then he would call around around one o'clock in the morning to force me to sleep which ended up with me crawling up in bed with the phone on louder speaker, his voice being the last thing I heard before drifting away. That Friday I could not dwell in my dreamland. Just the weekend then I was writing my first paper. It was getting too real for me. I only got out of my room around two in the day and ran to grab something to eat, took a shower then went back to bury my nose in my books. I felt as if my mind was escaping me at some point. I ke
HIS SECRET WIFE 107. WALKING INTO HER NIGHTMARE
I could not get my husband out of my head the whole day. It helped drown out the whole prom thing going on. The whole school had been turned to ribbons and balloons in preparation for that friday. Every corner you turned it was prom this, prom that, while I was bouncing around in my head like a little girl.Somehow I got through the day and made my way home to daydream some more. For the millionth time I touched my lips thinking of the moment once again. I shook my head, trying to force the memory away because I had to study. It was nine at night. Sam and Blue were tucked in and probably watching a movie in their room while I lay on the bed I had shared with my husband just a few hours ago. My feet couldn't help swinging back and forth, the pen ending up stuck between my teeth. The words on the textbook might as well have been flying in the air as I stared at them with dreamy eyes. I couldn’t afford this, I had to keep studying. After a whole ten minutes of scolding myself I ende

I shot up straight from bed, my head turning with my eyes wide. Somehow I knew I was late. I grabbed my phone which I had failed to charge and set the alarm. I was late! I rolled out of bed, hitting the ground with a thud. I pulled the covers, I would make the bed when I came back from school. As of then I just made it presentable then rushed to the bathroom. The door was thrown wide, stopping in my tracks, eyes wide open as I realized I was not alone and Hendrix was in the shower. The shock quickly wore off as I gave him a wide smile which I was not sure he could see with the wet shower door. “Morning. I will just hop in the tub.” I ran for the sink, scrubbing my teeth clean. I gurgled and scrapped my tongue before running to the tub to fill it. The bus was definitely going to leave me behind. I cursed, jumping in. I scrubbed down as quickly as I could. Hendrix stepped out of the shower and I froze, foam was all over my body. I didn’t even know where to cover; my boobs, my ass,
HIS SECRET WIFE 105. GIFTS FOR THE HEART
In a day spent surrounded by people I had begun to see as my family, for a second I found myself alone with my husband. I looked around, Samantha in the pool with Blue. Ryan had gone to take a business call in his room. Javier had left saying he was going to check on something, he was probably running away because he was so shy. Maggie did not want to leave the kitchen, wanting to feed us with every passing hour. I could not believe this, turning to my side on the fleece blankets we had lain next to the pool where both Hendrix and I lay soaking in the sun. His shirt had been taken off, leaving his shorts. He hadn’t gotten in the pool and I was still wearing my shorts over the one piece swimming suit. He looked peaceful, I debated whether to even disturb him but I did not want to miss the chance. I lowered back down, decided to let it be. “How are you doing?” The words I had been wanting to ask him since I saw him the previous day suddenly escaped. My chest eased, the weight flew of
HIS SECRET WIFE 104. NOT MY WIFE
Hendrix was in the shower, him having taken Blue to Samantha after them greeting me. My baby had been wide-eyed, probably wondering what had just happened to him so early in the morning. But Hendrix had swore Blue hadn’t cried while they ran through town then back. I could still remember how sweaty and hot his skin had been, my fingertips still buzzing where I had touched him. I couldn’t bear through this, quickly dashing out of the bedroom before I went to the bathroom again to get something that did not even exist. First I went to Samantha and found that she was done bathing Blue and was about to hop into the shower. I picked up Blue and left so she could relax and enjoy her bath. “Hi Maggie,” I greeted walking into the kitchen. I lowered Blue into his kitchen chair. He was being so good to me that day. Maggie glared at me, having me chuckle. “I was thinking that we have breakfast outside today. Do you need any help, I am hands in?” I asked, moving to wash my hands. “No Ma’am,
