LOGINThe next day. The door to the room opened with a low creak and the sound woke me up from sleep. My eyes slowly opened and they felt swollen. My head was hurting and my throat felt like it was on fire.Sebastian was standing at the doorway. I thought I was still dreaming for a moment. Everything was blurry and my eyes were red. It hurt a lot because I cried so much before I fell asleep. My body hurt badly because I slept on the cold floor, which was very uncomfortable. I had a fever.He threw a brown robe in my direction, and it fell to my knees. He stretched out his hand and held a few pills and a glass of water. “Drink this,” he said flatly.I looked at the palm of his hand and I was confused.“What is this for?”"These are contraceptives," he said coldly. "To flush out whatever we did last night."The words sank slowly, it was really painful. My chest felt really tight and my hands were shaking when I went to take the pills. I swallowed all of the pills at once, really fast an
Today was Sebastian’s birthday.The thought was weighing me down from the moment I woke up.I did not have any money, not even a cent to my name.I decided to talk to Maya about it.“Just bake him a cake," she said over the phone. “I'll handle the balloons and decorations to make it special.”So that is what I decided to do.One of the guards said Sebastian was coming today. I didn’t ask him how he knew. I just decided to have faith that he'll be back today.I walked into the kitchen, rolled up my sleeves and started working some magic. I started mixing flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. Baking is something that always makes me feel better.I made a very simple cake. I covered the cake in black fondant and put tiny gold sugar pebbles around the edges of the cake. It looked really nice and I also made TikTok videos of the process.I made a bracelet from beads that I found in one of the craft drawers in the storage room. That was the best I could do.Intentions matter right?Maya insiste
Maya came to the mansion to spend some time with me.She went to my wardrobe and started searching through my clothes."Gurllll," she gasped dramatically, pulling out one dress after another. "You don’t really have many nice clothes…And your husband is a fucking billionaire."I let out a breath and sat down on the edge of the bed. I held a pillow tight to my chest. “I really don't have any money and I don't want to ask him.”She looked at me like I had just said something ridiculous. "Zara, this man was nice enough to get you an iPhone 17 Pro Max. What is clothes that he wouldn't get you?”"Stop it, Maya, " I said quietly. "You won't understand. We don't have that emotional connection. I haven't seen him for the past three weeks.”She raised an eyebrow and a sneaky smile came onto her face. "My best friend is really in lovee.”“Im not.” I frowned.She laughed loudly. "Relax, I’m just teasing you. Anyways, I hope you have started making videos. Content creation is the real deal. TikTo
I woke up feeling really strange. My head was throbbing slightly. I think it was because of the alcohol I had yesterday.My body felt light beneath the sheets. When I moved, cool air touched my skin. That was when I realized, I was only wearing a bra and panties. I froze.I got up slowly and looked around. The room was pretty quiet.This wasn't my room.It was Sebastian’s room.My heart skipped a beat.Did Sebastian see me like this?I sat up fast, holding the duvet tight to my chest and I started to feel really scared.. Then I saw a black T-shirt lying on the bed. It smelled of him and I quickly put it on. Then I heard it.The sound of running water.My head turned fast towards the bathroom door. No.It can’t be.My heart started beating as I realized what was happening. Sebastian.The bathroom door opened before I could really think.He walked out with a towel wrapped around his waist and his skin was still wet. Water was dripping down his chest. I stopped breathing for a secon
Sebastian just stood there with his mouth hanging open.I noticed it.The way his eyes stayed on me. The way his whole body got really tense, like he was surprised to see me coming down the stairs looking so gorgeous.Then he composed himself. His face became very serious and his lips pressed together in a straight line.“I am ready,” I said softly when I got to him. “You look…okay.” He muttered.I scoffed. "You are really bad at giving compliments, you know that?”I did not wait for his response. I walked past him with my head held high. My heels were clicking against the marble floor.Outside, a nice black limousine was waiting by the entrance. It was so shiny that it reflected the lights of the mansion. It looked like something that only a very rich person could own.We finally got in. As usual, the ride was silent.I looked out the tinted window seeing the city lights go by really fast, while Sebastian sat across from me looking straight ahead, not moving at all.We arrived with
The next morning, my phone rang.I was still really tired when I reached for my phone. I was blinking at the screen because it looked weird to me. For a short time, I forgot that I even had a phone now."Zara " Maya said loudly through the speaker. "Are you alive?"I smiled. "I am barely managing. What’s up?"“There is a party tonight.” She seemed excited about it. “ Lewis invited me. It will have music, people, and good food. Do you want to come?”I looked around my bedroom. It was so quiet.“I am doing nothing,” I said. “So I would really like to come.”"Good, " she said. "You need to get out of that prison. It's by 8pm." After the call ended, I decided to go to the garden to read. It was my safe space.It was really hot so I picked out something to wear. I went with a tube top and bum shorts. I just wanted to be comfortable. Before I left my room, I stopped in front of the mirror. I looked at myself in the mirror for a moment. And stared.Maya had not been exaggerating.Somethin
