The deafening rambunctious bang of the door railing against its frame creeps my lazy body from the bed as I spring to my feet, my phone almost tumbling from my feeble hands. Gandly, I was nimble enough to catch a hold of it before it hits the floor, and I ladle it into the back pocket of my jeans.The heck!I spin around, my furious gaze crashing with the sharp arrows from this witch's stare. I pucker my face, the fierce urge to slit her throat clogging up at my core. The heck with this bitch!"What...""What in hell did you do again this time around, Ella!?" She cuts me off, waddling towards me.Hang on! When and where did she learn to call my name like that, huh? I have always been a bitch to her and I am damn contented with that. She is no less to me too and I am not contrite about that. And why does she look this sick worried? Wait...why is she meddling again? "What the fuck are you doing here, Terris? And what are you yapping about?" I query, hoping that she really has a decentl
"I must applaud your hard balls. You turned out more smarter than I could have imagined." He says after ages of shrieking stillness and life-threatening staring. "But you and I, can never be equal. You are nothing, Ella." He adds, dropping the gun and scratching his head with it.Ooh, we are not? Definitely not. But my guts are something that he can't stand nor believe. That is beyond doubt."I don't think so, but it's alright. If that is what you want to believe, I won't try to hurt your ego." I retort."And you can go ahead and think that you have won, but I can tell you for a fact, Ella, I can get rid of you in a snap of a finger." He argues.Smirk! How comical is that! He should have done so a long time ago."Then why haven't you done so?" I challenge."I didn't know until now, but with what you have done, I want to make you bleed before I finally send you over to your parents, while I take over everything that belongs to your family. That will be your punishment." He affirms, bu
One week!It has been seven good days since the news about my plea for justice broke out. Seven days since I became the talk of the nation, and seven days since the country declared war against all aspects of inhumanities. My speech has touched millions of souls in the country. It's not just the government that is fighting this, but the citizens too. I am happy. I am beyond overwhelmed!Yesterday was the acme of all the seven days. There was a protest precisely for justice for my family. It was a pure bang of sensual euphoria to see people walking and crowding the city streets with flags flying high, my family's name scripted on them. If only I had a way, I would have joined the riot, or even just thanked them. But I am caged here. But not for so long, according to my plans.For those seven days, the monster has been a total mess. He has not been his usual monster self since the news came out. He stays here for just a few minutes, but those few minutes drag like eternal hell. He never
It has been a long while since we sauntered inside this room. We have talked and talked and we are still talking."Jeez, I can't believe this is you. I mean, us." Terris says as we finish our dinner.Who can believe it? Terris, and me, like this? Even I can't. But believe it or not, the day has been fabulous. I have learnt quite a lot about her, except why and how she ended up caged by that monster. It seems like a very sentimental topic for her, and I don't intend on imposing so much. I also haven't opened up wholly to her, but I am getting a feeling that we will have more to share in the near future.I agree with Dan. These girls have been impacted in a negative way by the nightmares they have lived through throughout their stay in that brothel. They are traumatized. They are unstable. They need a lot of care and understanding. "Me neither. Hey, once again, I am sorry. I wasn't a saint to you either. " I respond."I understand. It was all my fault, though. If I didn't get on your n
Tossing the phone beneath the mattress, I nod to Terris slightly as I start my way out, the thought of Dan's incoherent tone when he heard her's still jangling in my head. I am baffled by that, but anyways, that is for later. Right now it is time to meet that monster.I don't think it's wise for Ajay to see me and Terris together. He should keep thinking that we are still mortal enemies. He might put too much meaning into this. I slam the door behind me, leaving Terris inside.Ambling downstairs, I find the beast lounging on the settee with his eyes closed, too calm for my liking, like a lion ready to strike. He always keeps a gun with him, and right now, he is stroking his face from the nose up to his forehead with it repeatedly. His disposed gigantic trunk is heaving up and down from his massive breathing. He doesn't look approachable. I don't think I should talk to him right now. I should probably wait for him to calm down a little, if that is even deemed to happen.Before I could
Curling up under the warm duvet, my hands scuffle against some turbulent bare skin that is inevitably neither mine nor is it appealing at all to mine. I peel my eyes in a snap, catching the blinding luster of the befalling morning rays, and my gazes stumble upon with Ajay's owl-like eyes perched on my face. Sigh! I don't recall us getting under this duvet together last night. After that talk we had yesterday, he became wild mute. He turned abnormally mute the rest of the evening. I knew he didn't leave the house even until I went to bed. But I reckoned that he would. I hadn't expected to wake up with him beside me as if he merits that right. What a disgusting site!Catching a glimpse of his upper body on display like this spins my mind a complete degree, making me slink my hand beneath the duvet. I sigh in relief after feeling my clothes on. I even had to rub my thighs together just to make sure. There is no soreness, nor am I wet. Thank heavens! I should sigh out another puff of re
Meeting my sister once again overwhelms me to the cliff of ecstasy. It felt like we were separated for years and not just a week. As we embrace in this emotional hug, I crave for nothing but the day we will be free from this bondage so that we can live our lives freely. And that hikes my zest for vengeance."I thought that that monster will never give us a chance to meet again." Aida says after we pull away. The hug had taken forever, which is why the monster left us because it didn't seem like we were ever going to break the hug, and I guess he has a phobia for emotions such as this."I couldn't allow that to happen. I have just found you, Aida, there is no way I was going to let him separate us ever again." I say as we crouch on the bed.I may not recollect how exactly we were separated, but I know it was hell. I won't allow another separation. No way!"I hope you didn't do anything crazy." She says, dissecting my wounds. She is about to replace the bandages. The monster doesn't wan
I'm all flushing white with new bandages, and having a smooth dialogue with my sister, but we are disrupted by the door opening, the monster sauntering in. He took too much time than I had speculated, but he still came back too sooner than I would have wished. It's not like his disgusting presence has nor will it ever be appreciated. Beh! But yeah, actually there is. This one time, this fateful day that I will put an end to him, ooh I will be so delighted to see his face. Only then!"I hope you have made everything clear to your sister about how I want things done." He speaks, parking himself before us."We clearly understand your rules, uncle." I respond as Aida and I stand on our feet, ready to start our charade with this oblivious moron."Good. Now I hope you both know what is in it for you if you mess this up. I will not show anyone any mercy. Are we clear?" He airs his threats once again, ricocheting his dreadful eyes between me and Aida.Mercy! Smirk at that! Better yet, spit at
