Two years later
The men all sat in a room going through the files their bosses assistant had handed out to all of them.
Studying the contents and learning everything in detail they waited for him to come in and brief them.
Ezekiel stared at the picture of the girl in the file memorising every feature and curve, he found her extremely gorgeous and enchanting. Paging through the file he learnt more about her, her age being twenty-four she was young, really young and he couldn't understand how she somehow fell in Reed's radar.
Although he was admiring the girl, Ezekiel was one to always do his job without any distractions, and he only hoped he wouldn't be stuck with monitoring.
Reed entered the room, and just as the room was quiet, it stayed quiet waiting for the boss to speak.
"The file you're all looking at is of Robyn Barreau, Bellamy's 'ex' wife," he raised his fingers in inverted commas before putting his hands back into his pockets. "You are going to study everything about her, from her age, hair colour, nail length, eye-colour, her past boyfriends, who she's dating now when I say everything I mean every single detail about her you will know, understood," it wasn't a question which is why they all stayed quiet.
"What is the connection?" one of the men asked and Reed chuckled as he leaned against the chair.
"Barreau took something from me and I only find it fair if we take something that's valuable to him, his trophy ex-wife," Reed said with an evil smirk, extremely excited to have his revenge plan in motion and there was nothing anyone could do to stop him.
"Posts?" another man asked and Reed switched on the screen, where all the duties were allocated to the men.
"Nev and Shawn, you follow Bellamy and his new girlfriend, Jay and Xavier you guys stay here and gather details about his business dealings and Ezekiel, you're her new friend."
Ezekiel groaned internally at his duties, once again he was stuck with monitoring and he didn't like that at all.
"Sorry bro," Shawn put his hand over Ezekiel's shoulder and walked away, they were only co-workers and had no sort of friendship, however, Shawn seemed to be the only sensible one out of the team. Nev was quiet and he minded his own business but always completed his work, Xavier was similar but as for Jay, he was like some sort of another breed that everybody tolerated, Reed only loved him for his recklessness sometimes.
Heading back to his room, Ezekiel packed up his bags and left for his new home for only God knows how long. The apartment would already be furnished and everything he would need would be provided for, all he had to do was to make it a bit more comfortable for him.
He wasn't even sure how he was going to befriend her seeing he was one who liked being alone, in truth he envied the duty Nev and Shawn got but instead he was blessed with the role of being her 'new friend', how should he act and talk wasn't going to be a challenge.
So he thought of ways to introduce himself, he couldn't just knock on her door and tell her his name and how he is only here for how long just to hurt Barreau. Without any way to introduce himself coming into his brain, he stopped his car at the building he would be living in.
Heading to his apartment which was opposite Robyn's, he dropped his bag and set up his laptop before grabbing a beer, slouching onto the couch he watched his screen waiting for Robyn's return from work, Bellamy wouldn't allow her to work although they were divorced, it took time for her to convince him that she would be fine working, he finally agreed and she found work at the daycare centre.
Opening her file again, he read it over and over again and couldn't find himself to stop until she had finally come back, wearing her black jeans and her vest with her jacket in her hand, she opened her door and entered locking her door, inside she discarded the items that were in her hands and threw them on the couch heading to the bathroom to take a quick shower.
Robyn loved working at the centre and being around kids the whole day, she found nothing much more refreshing than listening to children's stories and watching them play together, teaching them how to value life and the importance of making lifelong friends, the only area she lacked in.
Finishing her shower, she dried her hair as she walked to the kitchen in one of her many long shirts, preparing her dinner she sat on the island and thoughts of how lonely she is bombarded her thoughts and she wiped her stray tears refusing to think about Bellamy, refusing to cry over him. It has been two years since their separation and two years since she's been with a man.
Ezekiel finally worked up the courage to go introduce himself, knocking on her door she immediately opened and his eyes were stuck on her brown legs and he wondered what it would be like to have those wrapped around his waist as he would please the both of them, normally such thoughts wouldn't dare to run through his mind but looking at Robyn changed all of that.
Her honey-brown eyes stared into his blue eyes, she was ashamed to admit to herself that she too checked him out and found him insanely attractive with his tall build and muscle body that were prominent under his long-sleeved black shirt and his jeans, he had short hair compared to Bellamy and she loved it, he also had a clean beard, something she wasn't used to liking but she found it extremely attractive on him.
He licked his lips and opened his mouth stretching out his hand for her.
"Hi, my name is Ezekiel and I'm your new neighbour," Robyn lost her voice as she heard his was deep and in the midst of her panic she slammed the door in his face.
Ezekiel stared at the surgeon in disbelief as the surgeon's words echoed in his head a million times trying to register it.Robyn, lost?"What do you mean we lost her?" Bellamy asked, his voice barely coming out as more than a whisper.
My eyes drifted over to Bellamy as he sat on the chair with his fingers threaded through his hair. I watched him from my position against the wall with my arms crossed over my chest.He was worried, so was I. Extremely worried as I anticipated the news that we all so not patiently waited for.I couldn't ignore my frantic heartbeat as my anxiety washed over me and I kept on racking my brain over my impulsive decisions that were
I couldn't stop glaring at Reed, not because he was the 'brains' behind all this deceiving, but because he had the audacity to bring my mother into his stupid plans.I prayed that wherever she was, hopefully at home she was okay and with dad because if he would dare lay a finger on her I would kill him with my own bare hands with no care whatsoever."Staring at me won't help with anything," he said checking his nails for
I straightened out my grey dress and made sure I looked like how I was expected to look. I plastered a smile on my face and greeted his employees with a smile while making small conversations with the ones I knew.I made my way into the elevator, to which was held open for me by a man and I gave him a thankful smile. He entered the elevator for with me and pressed the exact elevator button number I was heading to."You don't ha
The apartment was quiet, dead quiet as a matter of fact, the only thing you could hear was Jay's groans every now and then and my lips would pull up in a proud manner. But they were just merely a reminder to my own wounds that still needed tending but I wouldn't let it happen because I'm too stubborn.I looked at every single man that was still alive and in the room with me, none that I wanted to hurt except for Reed, but I was told to be a good girl and I was trying.
I sat on the couch staring at the same spot on the wall for the past hour, I could feel his blood and mine sticking onto my skin but I didn't want to wipe it off.I didn't want to do anything, I didn't want anyone next to me, I didn't want to think, I didn't want to talk, I just wanted to be alone and at peace.But I couldn't have any of that with all these men around me, my senses had kicked in and I was at high alert, I could
I watched Ezekiel as he tied my wrists together but not as tightly as Jay had before, I could move them a bit in the binding, although it was a bit uncomfortable it was better.We stood in silence as he gathered my hair in his hands and tied it into a ponytail. His hands rested on my hair a bit longer and he pressed a kiss on my forehead."We should probably go," I said breaking through the silence. He put his hand on my back a
"If you want Bellamy, why do I have to be the one tied?" Robyn asked looking at everyone else but me.I understand she felt anger towards me, probably not just anger but also betrayal and I guess there is no explanation in the world that I could give her just to have her look at me like she used to.When I had returned with our breakfast, I entered my apartment and called out for her but didn't get any response. I walked to my
I was standing in a house that I've never seen before wearing a beige cotton dress that fit my body perfectly well, I loved the way it hugged my curves and how it allowed my boobs to breath through the little V that was there."Robyn!" I heard my name being called and I looked to my left but didn't see anyone there, I walked off into the direction of the voice, I had heard that voice before.
