KEITH The day had almost become a blur after the cops left and Jackie insisted on staying.“Well then, suit yourself, as long as you stay out of my way,” I had told her before walking out of the study.My plan had been to spend the day being entertained by Mia’s presence. I already bought her after all.I quickly got rid of that thought.Deep down, I knew that I got her because I wanted to save her from a lifetime of ruin, one that her mother and my estranged biological father wanted to subject her to. Her life would have been utterly destroyed had any of those leering men laid hold on her. I had never patronized any of the women being auctioned at the sex house, but that didn’t mean I had no idea what usually went on there.A while back, I had watched an old Mafia lord buy a woman from the sex house and turn her into a sex machine at his men’s club which he started a year ago. It was an only men’s club where all the men with high libidos and the urge to be violent during sex convene
MIA“I have to leave as soon as possible,” I kept saying to myself.Murder! What?!I didn’t know exactly what Keith was up to. After all, until now, I had never met him. He simply bought me from the sex house and brought me here, and since I heard what the cops said, I had been thinking.And deeply scared.What was his plan for me? What did he have in mind? To use me for as long as possible and then kill me? I was already facing a lot of threats from the people closest to him, and it didn’t seem like it would get better.Tears welled up in my eyes.“After thinking I have escaped the sex house,” I sobbed. “Maybe it would have been better if any of those old men had bought me instead,” I added pitifully.Thinking deeply about it now, it would have been easier to get away from a man whose strength had waned over the years than a man like Keith. Keith was way older than me, but he was far from old. His strength was still full, and worse, he was surrounded by danger.And murder.I must nev
JACKIE I was infuriated by the fact that Keith chose to talk to me in the presence of Mia, or whatever the fuck her name was.But I was more upset with her. She disgusted me. I didn’t think I had hated anyone the way I hated her. I could barely stand the sight of her, and this had to do with the fact that she had an innocent beauty, one where she wasn’t really aware that she was pretty.And then those curves and endowments.When she walked in, I saw Keith’s eyes on her body. She wore a pair of shorts that reached her knees and a t-shirt that shouldn’t be termed as seductive, but because the clothes were on her, it could very well be concluded that she intentionally wanted to seduce Keith.Fuck, Keith had been unable to take his eyes off her, even when I tried to talk to him. My heart broke in ways that I could never have imagined, and I was still thinking of possible ways to get her to leave the dining room when the cops came in.Bloody lots!Anyway, she knew better than to say a wo
MIAHow could I tell him who hurt me when she was sitting right there and giving me the warning look? Aside from that, the warning she gave me earlier was still fresh in my head, “Cat caught your tongue?” Keith asked me.I was shivering inside. It was a miracle I wasn’t shaking outwardly as much as I was shaking inside. Somehow, the confidence I had to stand up to Keith earlier in the room was completely gone.Or maybe it was as a result of the presence of the woman in the dining room. I had faced terrible things in life already; my short encounter at the sex house was enough to scar me for the rest of my life, but never had I been terrorized the way I was right now, by a woman for that matter. Sitting at the same table with her now was making me scared even more. Worse, Keith had to send Cain away.Thinking about Cain, I realized just what he was pleading with me about in the room earlier. Not that I was really able to look at Keith in the face now, but I could feel the venom pourin
KEITHSeeing Cain walk in with Mia gave me mixed feelings. For one, I really wanted Mia down. Being away from her for days, especially when I had only just saved her from the hands of the people who didn’t give a shit about her, just made me crave her presence in a lustful kind of way.But the fact that only Cain could get her to come down was infuriating me. However, I decided to let that slide for now. I could always address it with Cain, because it didn’t just sit well with me.“Sit,” I ordered Mia while Cain took his position at a corner of the dining room.I noticed that Mia wasn’t comfortable, and when Cain went to the corner of the room to stand as a bodyguard, she had her eyes on him, as though his distance from her made her feel empty.I ground my teeth in annoyance and jealousy. I had to resist the urge to speak to Cain right away and ask him what his relationship with Mia was. I was only away for a few days, and I fucking asked him to keep Mia safe and ensure that she didn’
MIAFor a moment I almost told myself that I must have been insane to challenge Keith like that. The danger and dread in his eyes had almost sent me flying out through the window and just crushing my bones when I eventually landed on the ground several feet below, but I didn’t.I might have been out of my mind, but heaven knew that I was fucking exhausted. First, I had to deal with Keith’s best friend trying to have his way with me, and just last night, whoever she was to Keith nearly pulled out all my hairs from my scalp.After she had left last night, I had cried myself to sleep in severe agony and deep pain. Then I had woken up with a throbbing pain at the back of my head that threatened to kill me, only for Tessa to arrive and tell me about Keith’s command to come downstairs and have breakfast with him.Fuck him!It wasn’t fair. Was that why he bought me with such an amount of money so that he could lock me up, control my life, and have people in his life torment me? I wasn’t havi
