Mina POV Omg!!! Did Dad Just— "Klaus " Aunt Finna scrambled after him immediately clear shock and confusion written all over her face. "Klaus, what’s going on? Why is he acting like he’s got something over you?" She rasped. "Didn’t you hear it? He’s my boss!" Dad turned to bark sharply at her. "What?! Your boss?" she gasped. Dad glared angrily at her."I said let’s leave, Finna." "But Mina—" "You heard it, Finna!" He snapped, his words like venom. "He’ll fire me if I don’t leave her alone, and I can’t risk my job for a lowly slut like her! If she wants to be a wh*re, fine! It’s her life!" His turned to glare one last time at me before turning away and finally leaving. His words burned like acid, and I felt them pierce through me. Nathan’s voice broke through my haze. "It’s okay he won’t hurt you anymore. I put him where he belongs." He said but I just stared blankly at him, my mouth slightly open with my mind spinning in circles I couldn’t escape. "I didn’t know you owned
Mina's POV "Sorry, but you can't hit her under my watch." We both turned instantly, and there he was, Nathan, standing right beside me. My heart skipped violently in my chest, my breath catching as my mouth hung open in shock, words dying on my lips. What on earth does he think he’s doing? "And who the hell are you, Mr. Man?" Aunt Finna sneered loudly, glaring at him with icy irritation. Her gaze dropped to his hand gripping her wrist, and I felt my stomach churn. "Hands off me!" she snapped, yanking herself free. Then she turned back to me, fury blazing in her eyes. "And who the hell is he? Is he your boyfriend? The idiot you’ve been sneaking out to meet?" she yelled, pointing at Nathan accusingly. Her words slammed into me like a blow. I clutched the hem of my shirt tightly, my body trembling. What sort of accusations are these? Oh God, what if she tells Dad? What if he actually believes her? I could already feel my chest constricting just at the thought. "No, Aunt! You’re
Mina POV "Mina!" The familiar voice rang out behind me again, louder this time, but I didn't even glance back. My feet moved faster on their own, weaving through the busy market street like I was being chased. God, no. I couldn't let him see me. Not like this. I felt my stomach twist as I pictured my reflection-the swollen cheek, the split lip. My fingers trembled as I clutched the hem of my shirt tighter. I can't. I can't let Nathan see me like this. But then, in the middle of my frantic steps, a sudden grip closed around my wrist. My breath hitched, and I flinched violently, spinning around, my heart hammering in panic- "Mina, why have you been ignor-Bloody hell!" Nathan's voice cracked. The second his eyes landed on me, he froze. I watched his face drain pale, his expression twisting into pure shock. He jerked his hand back like my skin burned him. Oh no. No, no, no. "Who the hell did this to you?" His voice came out sharp and furious, louder than I'd ever heard it. His wa
Jamison POV "Hey Jamie!" Shawna suddenly walked in that morning dressed in only her bra and panties, and I looked away immediately, not wanting to fall for her charms again. Darn it! I still couldn't believe I had s£x with her last night. What a b**ch! She obviously drugged and seduced me because all I remembered was accepting a drink from her last night, only to wake up to find her in my arms this morning. So infuriating! I ran a hand through my hair in frustration. My head was still pounding lightly, and every time I thought about it, it made my stomach churn. I wasn't like this. This wasn't me. Now I'm beginning to reconsider the idea of letting her stay in my place. Gosh, she's really something. But then again, I needed her to get Kira back. She seemed to have a lot of connections or something, and by the look of things, if I worked with her, there's a real chance I could get Kira back. I clenched my jaw. Kira. Just thinking of her name was enough to twist something in m
Britney POVI looked around the quiet, deserted area, confused about why Dylan wanted us to meet here. I was still wondering when a strong hand suddenly yanked me from behind. I gasped and turned quickly, only to see it was Dylan.I relaxed a little, but not for long. My fear grew as he dragged me roughly down a narrow bush path without saying a word. My heart pounded harder with every step until we reached a large clearing with a newly dug pit in the middle. He stopped abruptly, and before I could react, he shoved me toward the edge.I screamed, clinging desperately to his arms, my nails digging into his skin. Tears filled my eyes."Dylan… please… please don’t do this to me," I begged, my voice shaking uncontrollably. "Please don’t kill me. I’m begging you."He stared at me coldly, his expression completely blank.God, why was he doing this? How could he even think of killing me?I glanced down into the pit. It was deep. If he let me go, I would not survive the fall. The sight alone
Next MorningKira POVThe door opened behind me and I turned to see Dylan walk in. I scoffed and immediately looked away, focusing on the mirror where I stood checking myself out. I was already running late for work."Hey," he said softly as he came closer, his hands reaching for me from behind.I ignored him completely and continued fixing my hair.Only God knows how angry I was at him right now. It was taking everything in me to keep it bottled up.I didn’t want to start a fight this early in the morning, but if he kept pushing me…"So you're just going to keep ignoring me?" his voice came from behind, filled with frustration and something I couldn’t place.I pretended not to hear him and concentrated on getting ready. I was done dressing and bent to pick up my bag from the table when suddenly, I felt his arms grab me from behind. I flinched and my eyes widened."Dylan!""Kira... please," he said, his voice breaking slightly. "I just want my wife back. The one who nags me. The one w
