Aliyah POVThe first shock I got was the man knowing my name. I was frightened a bit because this strange man knew my name. I shouldn't be afraid of having such encounters if my father was alive but since the death of my father, we have been ignored by people. Even all my father's friends that were like they would never leave, they are nowhere to be found. So hearing someone call my name was really strange. "Who are you and how do you know me?" I asked him, shifting away from my seat. I looked around to see if anyone was looking at us but no one cared. Jason can do anything just to make me succumb to his request. "I will tell you when we are out of here," the man said.I didn't know what made him sure I was going to follow him. I was in a very dangerous state now and I wouldn't let anyone lure me into what I wouldn't do. I looked at him and shook my head."No, I'm going nowhere," I said to him."Please Aliyah. This is really important," he begged me.Although he wasn't looking dan
Aliyah's POVSince I had no one to reply to the question in my mind, I moved to Kelan and tapped him. I want to see if he moved. I was so anxious that I tapped him for several minutes but yet he was still the same. After a while all my hopes shattered.Then I remembered what Macy told me about the drugs being administered to Kelan. If he was moving then what Macy said was true. I went to where they were arranged and looked at them carefully, again. Looking at them, I felt like throwing them out but that would make whoever was doing this know that I already found out the secret.I was still standing there when the door to the room opened to meet Carey’s face. A triumphant look was dancing round her chubby face. I stood there looking at her, expecting whatever rubbish she had to spill from her mouth."C'mon girlfriend, don't wear a frown. At least you have a good room to sleep in," she said and her smile grew wider."What do you want? " I asked casually.After she had betrayed me, every
Aliyah’s POVNow, I couldn't escape this place because there was no way I was going to beg those two for anything. "What a poor girl," Carey said."Don't pity her, she's nothing but an arrogant gold digger. She's all here for money and yet she's acting so bossy," Jason's mother said with disgust.Carey looked at Jason's mother with a sad look." I know she's rude though, but I can’t help pity her. Maybe I should talk to him.”I knew Carey made that statement just to look good in front of Jason's mother and it worked. Jason's mother looked at her and patted her head gently."You are too innocent. People like her shouldn't be pitied, though. Let her beg and we might at least be able to give her food," she said.I snorted at her words and rolled my eyes. Even if I starve to death, I won't apologize to any of them. Do they think I care about the food? All I wanted was to get out of this place. When they were tired of mocking me, they left. I could hear their footsteps loudly outside and s
I looked at Jason who was gently scratching the back of his neck, his face plain and emotionless. He wasn't feeling remorseful for what he did. He was probably feeling angry, and I did know him better."Why are you here?" Jason asked back, bluntly.I knew he was trying to smother his anger. Carey had interrupted him so he is definitely unhappy with her.Seeing that they were engaged with asking questions, I looked quickly at the supposed opened floor and I saw it was back to normal. I wondered how that happened since I was certain it wasn’t this way before. "I came... Came...." Carey stammered. "Can you two take your family problem away from here, it's time for me to sleep," I blurted to annoy them intentionally.The two glared at me at the same time but I never cared. Jason brought out his phone and checked whatever it was. Maybe the time, as his body clearly puffed after he dropped it back into his pocket. One of my fears was already solved and now I was more than happy Jason di
Aliyah’s POVThe next time my eyes opened up was morning. The door had been flung open, and my sleepy eyes were trying to make a face out of the figure. It did, and it was the doctor. Seeing the doctor appear, I knew that it was time for Kelan's morning dose. Was he early or had I slept in that late. He usually came in around 9am, which means I must have slept in. He greeted me with a nod, as we never really exchanged pleasantries. Then, he went on to perform his duties. I stared at him with disdain. He was killing Kelan slowly, and seemed to enjoy doing it by showing up every day. I didn't say anything at first. I was dreading the fact to tell him that his secret has been exposed. But as he started to squeeze in the syringe, I couldn't bear it. Not me watching Kelan receive another sedative after what I had known."Why are you keeping him asleep?"The doctor was so shocked that the little bottle he held fell to the ground and broke."I'm so sorry, what?" he acted out of place, sur
Aliyah’s POVI was more shocked than someone who was electrocuted. I didn't want to believe that those two would do that. I know Jason and his mother to be someone so mean but I didn't expect them to have such evil in them. I shook my head to show my disbelief. "That's not possible," I muttered to myself." I couldn't believe it when they told me too until they threatened me, " he said.The sincere look on his face made me know that he didn't tell a lie. But what was most baffling was what those two did on their own. I don't have a sibling so I might not know the true feeling towards a sibling but if Jason's mother was also Kelan's mother, how could she do this to her own son?"What would he have done for them to want to keep him like this?" " I don't know ma'am but I once overheard that almost all of the Donald's properties were willed to Kelan, " the doctor said with a straight face.I wasn't surprised by this being that Kelan was the one who took care of the company. I was so dis
Kelan's POVI discovered that my mind was becoming more active than it was. Just as my routine was every time I became conscious, I tried opening my eyes. I had tried many times and it never worked but this time, my eyes slowly opened. At first the light hurt my eyes and I shut it back quickly.The joy that filled my heart knew no bounds. I couldn't believe that after months of laying there, I was able to at least open my eyes. Although my eyes didn't adjust to the light immediately, I tried it again and again before I saw what shocked me.A woman was all naked right in front of my eyes. She had perfect skin and an hourglass body. I didn't expect that after being unconscious for a while, the first thing I would see is a naked woman in front of me.I watched as she moved around the room, not bothered that a male was in the room. I stiffened and couldn't move."Who is this woman?" I thought.I laid there and waited for her to put something on her naked body but she seemed engrossed with
Aliyah's POVI wasn't expecting that Kelan would wake up so soon. The sedatives had been stopped for two days and Dr Mike had administered drugs to him for his recovery but none of us thought it would be swift.I was used to walking around naked since the man in the room was equal to a dead person. I came out of the shower and got a call from Caden. I didn't bother to go dress up, I went to my phone and was walking around the room.I felt someone looking at me but I thought I was being ridiculous and I continued with what I was doing. Only for me to get closer and saw those big hazel eyes looking at me. I almost had an heart attack. I screamed and fell to the ground in fright.Kelan was awake and the first thing he opened his eyes to was my naked body. I was such an idiot. I ran to the wardrobe and got myself dressed quickly before I went back to him.I wanted to ask how he was feeling but I couldn't open my mouth. Kelan and I didn't know each other, it felt strange.His cold eyes wer
