Octavia had woken up the next morning to find herself still lying on the bed.
Oh!! That was when it dawned on her. She had really slept on the bed. She slept on Khalid's bed!!!
She flinched and sat up immediately, taking a look around. Khalid wasn't in the room. Where was she?
Hold on...how could she be sure she hadn't slept on the bed without his permission?
Ah!! Of course, not. She could still remember vividly. Khalid had been the one who gave her the offer. Yes, she couldn't forget.
She was about stepping out of the bed when he asked to spend the night since it was raining. So, she was sure she was safe.
She decided to leave the bed so she could get her clothes from the floor and that was when she discovered she had a great problem with her legs. Oh! Damn, she couldn't walk! She couldn't walk!
She crumpled her face in pains and managed to set he
The door opened immediately and Octavia turned to see her sister walking in.Oh, no! Her heart skipped repeatedlyShe gulped nervously and tried walking away, but Mica who knew what she was already doing, called her back."Octavia!" Her voice was strict.She paused and turned to look at her."Good morning" she greeted nervously, her eyes dancing on the floor.Mica didn't reply but only went closer to her."Are you alright?" She asked, her voice sounding calm.She knew what had happened in Khalid's room. She knew he had called her for s*x. I mean, it was obvious. She could hear Octavia crying and moaning."I'm..I'm fine" Octavia answered hoarsely."Where did you sleep last night?" Mica asked.She had been wondering what had happened after the intercourse bec
A little more time and Mica arrived. Octavia felt happy and relieved because that was the closest person she knew.They went into the room together and both got dressed for the party because the other members of the clan were already leaving."Do you think it's possible to....excuse myself from the party?" Octavia asked as Mica applied a little make up on her."And why would you want to stay back, Octavia? Besides, I don't think it's a good idea since Becca's already given orders for you to be there". Mica replied and Octavia swallowed hard and didn't say a word"You guys seem to party a lot over here" sh said after a while."Well...yeah" Mica shurgged. "That's one popular characteristics of the X-family. We party a lot - almost everyday. It's the only thing that brings the different clans together"Octavia nodded and allowed another silence to descend.
Octavia felt her heart drop out of her chest as she stared at the sight in front of herThere was no mistake; it had happened right in her presence.Khalid....the master was shot! He was shot!Hah! How did it happen??He was being attacked!"Khalid!!" Becca screamed again, gripping him tight as he groaned with the arrow stuck in his chest.The entire place was already in chaos; people running hectar sectar.Guards from the Khalid clan ran up immediately and lifted Khalid up - carefully.He was still consious, but it was obvious the arrow was having effect on him as he grunted painfully from time to time."Help him! Take him out of here!!" Becca screamed at the top of her voice as the guards leaned Khalid on themselves and led him out of the party.That was when Octavia actually re
Agitated silence.That was all that ran through the night.Octavia stood in front of the window, staring outside and not minding the reflection of the morning sun that glinted on her face.The place was quiet and empty. Unlike other mornings that was usually busy with different members of the clan moving about, this particular morning felt so different. So so different.Everyone was worried about the Master - and Octavia wasn't any different.She was yet to get an update on him, but with the look of things, she could feel there was something wrong she couldn't really explain it; but she could feel it. Something was definitely wrong.The door opened shortly and she turned to see it was her sister. Her eyes gushed with more curiosity as she had been waiting so long for her.There was a disquieted look on her face and it made O
Trickily, Mica was able to get Octavia out of the building without being seen by anyone. But she couldn't go with her as she had to stay back and cover her @ss just in case a need arises."I just hope your efforts wouldn't be in vain, Octavia" she told her as they stood by the roadside."Although, I'm still not sure Mica would give that antidote to you. But since you insist on giving it a try, I'll let you be"."Thank you" Octavia nodded and answered in her timid voice."I'll... I'll be on my way now" she tried walking away, but her sister held her back by the wrist."Octavia..." She called. "Why exactly are you doing this? Why're you trying so risk your life for someone you barely even know?"The thought struck at Octavia. Oh! Of course, it'd occured to her, but she didn't want to think about it."I'm just.... I'm just trying to help save the cla
Octavia felt her legs shaking but tried as much as possible not to show it. She needed to be strong - she assured herself.She needed to do this."I...I want to see you - please" she said nervously and the lines around his eyes darkened.He stared at her for a long time without saying a word. Then finally, he turned around and started towards the inner room and Octavia knew she had to follow.She gulped hard and followed him and getting to the smaller office, she found him already sitting on his rolling chair.He reached for his tobacco pipe, lit it and set it in his mouth."So, what brings you here, Octavia?" He asked gruffly."Did Mica send you to set me up again?"She swallowed hard again, fisting her hands beside her. She was still standing and of course, couldn't think of taking a seat. Michael would roast her @ss for it.&nb
Octavia's eyes dimmed the moment he called her name. Oh, goodness! She can do this. Of course, she can.His forehead was looking all sweaty already, his eyes opening and getting closed again. Even a blind man could tell how restless he felt, the pains he was going through."Octavia..." He called again."What're you doing here?"His voice sounded like that of a person who was being hypnotized.Well, of course, that was how the antidote worked.It possible he might not even recall this incidence as soon as he's awake.Nervous Octavia kept the bottle on the floor and fisted her hands in front of herself. Goodness! She was too nervous."M... Master" she called dazily.The clock was ticking. And she was running out of time. Oh! She needed to act really fast."What happened to me..." He gro
Khalid's eyes dimmed.That was...That was Octavia.He furrowed his brows and turned to Becca."What's going on there? Why is he whipping her?" He asked.Becca was equally surprised and sincerely had no idea.Although, she had felt something was going on, but she had no idea it had to do with the newbie."I don't know, Khalid. I'm just seeing this" she answered,. showing an uncomfortable look. Uncomfortable with the fact that Khalid was stressing himself. He was making her worried.Khalid turned back to the sight, his head was burning due to his condition."Send a message to him" he gritted. "Tell him to stop".Becca was confused. Why should he even care? He doesn't even know why she was being punished.She hesitated, trying to see if he'd say something else. But, he didn't and sh
