The Dark Secrets Chapter 18
18Phew. What was back in that room? Brandon’s words kept repeating in mind like a mantra, he said he owed me, just because I buttoned his shirt? This was alarming, my heart couldn’t stop pondering. He had something different in his eyes when he looked at me, the same vibe when he walked by me at the afterparty, the way he stared. It was a sign. I shook my mind to waive off the baleful thoughts and went to Kevin’s room with a straight mind, he was instructed to get ready by Mr. Grande, some Mr. Peters; his personal designer who was responsible for taking care of his outlook. I had never been this lucky to even get touched by a designer yet that five years old was getting dressed to fleek by him. Lucky kid. When I entered the room, Kevin stood before the mirror; checking himself attentively. How immaculate the boy was, “You look handsome, little man,” I complimented him, he eyed me through the mirror and passed a matey smile,“Thank you, Miss Jen,” Kevin blushed and turned around to
The Dark Secrets Chapter 19
19I nearly jumped out of my skin; my skin felt like jelly, hands were frozen, my heart throbbed against my ribcage like it’d come out of me if I’d breathe another second, I couldn’t feel my head, I was going giddy and about to collapse any time soon. I stuck myself into a jam and neither I’d strength to cut the call nor I wanted to hear more of him, I knew Brandon must have noticed me by now because the aura around me had changed into an utter tension, I glanced at him, he was gazing at me with questionable eyes, his eyes had caught my appalling form; like what happened. “You didn’t answer me, slut. You missed me, right?” Liam’s banter hadn’t given my heart any solace, instead, he was the cause of my messy state. I nearly had tears to roll down. I wanted to sob and tell him to stay away from me. My body reacted to his voice like I’d heard a death angel. “C’mon, my personal slut, don’t keep your fuckable mouth sewed, talk to me. Tell me how badly you want to file a divorce,” I gulp

20Brandon and Liam. These two men were ruling my mind all day. I came home from the hotel, Brandon noticed I seemed to be lost after that ludicrous question he asked me, he told me to go home straight from there otherwise I’d have to tug Kevin to bed and tell him a nice bed-time story, but I guessed, it was not for today. I joined Eliana for dinner, told her each and every fact about the Liam vs Brandon thing. She got hyperventilated about me and almost reacted worst than I had expected. Girl literally jumped out of bed in fury when I told her about Liam’s threat. “I’ll shoot that son of a bitch myself, how dare he said that shit?” I grabbed her shoulders for my dear life, her anger could take my life away. “El, no you’re not gonna do any stupid, I can’t risk your life for me,” I tried to advise her, but her mind was at boiling point and I couldn’t do anything about it except to burn my hands in it, It took me 30 minutes to get her into normal, whether she was a surgeon but her t
The Dark Secrets Chapter 21
21The day went incredible. Kevin and I had the time of our life, I couldn’t believe he was adjusting with me so quick; that fact literally startled me. I couldn’t comprehend what I did to win his heart so easily. This little five-year-old prodigy was sitting in front of me on the chair and reading a book he liked most reading about; cardiology books. Such a non-fictional chap he was becoming.“Kevin, can I ask you a question?” I popped in out of nowhere, His vivid-blue eyes glimpsed at me, those very crystal-like orbs had something in them… like determination and spirit to conquer the world, I didn’t notice I was lost for a moment. His lips curved into a tender smile and then followed back to his book, “Yes, Miss. Jen?” He permitted, focusing on where he left. “What interests you to read such books? I’m amazed to see your interest in them. They’re pure science you know,” I asked him, quite frankly. My eyes were beholding the sight of the thickest eyelashes I had ever seen in my en
The Dark Secrets Chapter 22
22I didn’t understand how I survived back in that room, the interrogation nearly gave me a panic attack. Those brutally personal questions that were shamelessly asked by a debater and above than that; the judge who enjoyed the show, Brandon wandered around my mind like his face was the only thing I knew. Mr. Hyde humiliated me back there by asking such questions in front of a third person who had no authority to invade my privacy, it must be normal in this city but I was not used to making an open speech on such topics. If any other local LA chick would have been there in my position, she wouldn’t have shied on talking about her private past traumas, my case was different. I hated wording my weaknesses and that’s what I exactly did in that studio. I had to tell him the truth, I really wanted to get out of this abusive relationship, that man who I thought deserved me was my mistake. I wanted to live freedom, I always craved for it and he exactly stole what I treasured, I hated being

23*Slammed The Door*I couldn’t stand here anymore, why did he kiss me in front of the cameras? I fisted my hair, my eyes couldn’t hold back the tears I was deliberately trying to pause, I let them shed down. Twenty minutes passed by and I couldn’t control my hysterias. I was gone out of control. He had no idea what he bought for me; Liam and his torture was what he gifted me. I had been thinking differents of Liam torturing me once he got me, he would torture me to death this time, I acted out of his bearings. Somebody knocked on the door while my face was swollen from the crying session, I wiped my tears and permitted them to come in, the lights of the room was still off and I was sitting at the bed in the dark. The door opened and a shadow of a mid-height lady formed, I focused my eyes to recognise who it was but my eyes chose not to cooperate with me, “Jenna, my dear,” I heard a soothing motherly voice calling me out, the voice which belonged to Miss. Beckett, “Why are you sit
The Dark Secrets Chapter 24
24“Jenna! Dear, where are you?” I heard Miss. Beckett inspected me but my main focus was more on the cramps I was enduring, my lower area was showing me a trailer of labour pain. I bit my lower lip in order not to turn my pains into whines. That’s when the bathroom door banged, “Jenna, dear are you there?” “Y-yes… Miss. Bec-kett,” Pain didn’t let me talk straight. I crossed my arms around my lower abdomen and stood straight in my posture after removing my bottom. My eyes landed on the purple bruises, they legit looked fresh. The fact filled tears in my eyes, “My dear, it's nine-fifteen and you still haven’t shown up. Kevin is waiting for you, he says he won’t eat until you come,” Miss. Beckett used her semi-scolding tone to indicate to me the gravity of the situation. I wanted to run away from here as it was not safe for me even here, somebody didn’t spare a chance exploiting my body… or was I dreaming? Was it a skin condition? “Jenna, I don’t want Mr. Grande to come into your ro

25Two Weeks Later, I wasn’t sure if I could survive longer under Brandon’s judgemental tastes or inflexible demands but miraculously I was still here; stroking Kevin’s hair as he fell asleep beside me for an evening power nap. This little boy had become my tension buster the day he hugged me and accepted me as his own, We had understood each other too well and shared a strong bond; just like perfect mother and son. I usually woke up at five in the morning, dropped him at school and then he came home, tried, in the evening, and we spent the whole day together. That’s how our last two weeks had passed, without any Brandon and his deep gazes. Yes, Brandon wasn’t here. He had to travel for work without any break and that was why he couldn’t make to home, leaving us all to ourselves and I swear, nothing was much more peaceful than living independently without any bothering stares. His body language always perturbed me and I prayed for his delay in work.Kevin made a movement and moved
