บททั้งหมดของ Love in Bondage: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Pleasure is found in different ways; usual and unusual. The need to please ourselves even to the detriment of others. That selfish part of us humans that desires our good before others cannot be ignored. But being acknowledged doesn’t take the problem away.Some people speak of a way; GOD; but then not everyone acknowledges the existence of GOD.Neither do those who take evil pleasure in stripping their fellow human beings of their freedom; all types of freedom acknowledged by man. Those termed as ‘Kidnappers'. But in this case,people much worse, more dangerous, more brutal.And so,these children; all teenagers, with the exception of one, nicknamed the bully; fell into the hands of those who seek this evil pleasure.Not just to be stripped of their freedom but to become live players unknowingly. Their lives,an entertainment to their benefactors.And so,the horror of their lives began.-THE BONDAGE TRILOGY"Cameras are ready, sir Auctor.

A week passed and nobody was taken out or brought in.It left them in a state of calmness and anxiety.“Whats that smell?” Aisha asked,wrinkling her nose while looking around. Naeto and Ify chuckled.“Are you really asking that question?” Naeto rhetorically asked as Aisha’s eyes zoomed in on the culprit.Obviously, their ‘defecationaire’ as pronounced by Zubi, one of their female mate.Locked in the room along with them, the ‘defecationaire'; a bucket with a lid, given to them by their captors to answer nature’s call; was a constant source of irritation and odour. It was kept at a corner of the room as far away as it could be from everyone.It was a circular room, not small but not big enough either.“Who’s the next person to take the 'defecationaire' out?” Aisha asked, a bit too loudly for the rest of their mates benefit.“Who else?” Philip threw back.Aisha na

“I have a feeling the same fate will go to anyone that opposes me.” Philip bragged, later in the day.Nobody responded. The food man had come and gone already and the fight for food had begun and ended.It was obvious that no one had the zeal to fight, well except Philip, but that was the only food they would get for the rest of the day, so they struggled; surprisingly with even more ferosity. Naeto returned with more marks as proof.“Less people, more space.” Philip continued, stretching his legs and cracking his knuckles. He had marked out a spot for himself and no one was allowed to trespass.“Shut up!” Ebuka barked with visible anger.“What kind of person are you?” A situation like this and you’re talking nonsense.” Blessing reproached, irritably.Blessing was someone you could term as ‘mother nature'. In schools, the mother nature award was given to the person with a big heart; the g

“I’m sorry.”Ify glanced at Naeto. They had not spoken since the incident earlier in the day. The incident that left him with a broken nose; Aisha with bruises on her face; Philip with a black eye and split lip and Jide with minor bruises.She wasn’t even sure how the fight had started. One moment Philip's shoe was flying over Aisha’s head, the next he and Aisha were engaged in a physical combat with Naeto the mediator.And then later trying to solve the problem, Philip and Jide ended up in another fight.How could they even fight when she was feeling so weak due to insufficient food?!And then during the course of the fight when she had tried to help Naeto who was pushed down, he had rudely brushed her off; hence the apology.She did not reply.He sighed, covering the distance she had kept between them.“I’m sorry. I was…I was angry.” he apologized as she fiddled with the torn edges of he

Screams resonated round the room. Ify covered her ears, still on the floor, her heart beating wildly in her chest. The noise and the screams kept resounding in her head and she squeezed her eyes shut, tears pricking her eyes.“Ify.”She raised her head to see Naeto and Ebuka's faces looming over her.“Its over.” Naeto spoke, pulling her up gently.She looked around, noticing that everyone was on their feet, talking in fear filled voices; a few looking in her direction.“What happened?” she asked.“I don’t know. It sounded like a gunshot." Ebuka responded slowly, looking her over. She had suddenly leaned against the wall. She looked away from his probing eyes.“A gunshot? It was too loud and terrifying to be a gunshot.” she responded, looking away from Naeto’s eyes as well. His eyes were no less probing.“A bomb?” Ebuka suggested, "But the building doe
