Jason's POVI never knew that Aliyah could be this stubborn after all the threats. Missing her damn body was an understatement and now I didn't know if allowing her to marry my brother was a mistake. Shouldn't I have held her captive and just enjoyed her body the way I wanted? Now I was starving from not having her body. I had called her to my room for her to satisfy me but she fought me all night. She wouldn't stop cussing at me and it would have been baloney if I had said she's weak. The Aliyah I know was fragile but the one here is like a lioness. She wouldn't let me touch her. I gritted my teeth at her and then laid down to sleep. We turned our backs to each other. I knew it was stupid of me to force her to sleep on the same bed with me but I just wanted her to be close. I didn't know how long I'd slept. I opened my eyes and saw that we were already facing each other. I looked at how her stubborn beautiful face was calm. People would have argued if I told them that this beautif

Aliyah's POV This space has left me completely idle and fixated to diverse thoughts as I watched Kelan day after day. Looking at him sleeping, he looked like a healthy man. My instincts were telling me that something wasn't right. It was telling me that Kelan should have woken up by now. I watched the machine that monitored his heart and it was all normal. It didn’t feel all normal again, and I began to seek answers to what actually happened in the first place. I patiently waited for a time when the Queens of the house were not away and took to questioning some of the maids. They accorded me respect as revered for the wife of the Donald’s first son, and a particular maid, named Priscilla, the oldest seemed like the best person to ask my questions. “Every one loved him.” She started with a tone that obviously sold her out, showing endearment. "You really care for him, I see" I smiled, in between my response. It would sound suspicious if I go ahead with direct questions. I'm a s

Aliyah POVThe first shock I got was the man knowing my name. I was frightened a bit because this strange man knew my name. I shouldn't be afraid of having such encounters if my father was alive but since the death of my father, we have been ignored by people. Even all my father's friends that were like they would never leave, they are nowhere to be found. So hearing someone call my name was really strange. "Who are you and how do you know me?" I asked him, shifting away from my seat. I looked around to see if anyone was looking at us but no one cared. Jason can do anything just to make me succumb to his request. "I will tell you when we are out of here," the man said.I didn't know what made him sure I was going to follow him. I was in a very dangerous state now and I wouldn't let anyone lure me into what I wouldn't do. I looked at him and shook my head."No, I'm going nowhere," I said to him."Please Aliyah. This is really important," he begged me.Although he wasn't looking dan

Aliyah’s POVNow, I couldn't escape this place because there was no way I was going to beg those two for anything. "What a poor girl," Carey said."Don't pity her, she's nothing but an arrogant gold digger. She's all here for money and yet she's acting so bossy," Jason's mother said with disgust.Carey looked at Jason's mother with a sad look." I know she's rude though, but I can’t help pity her. Maybe I should talk to him.”I knew Carey made that statement just to look good in front of Jason's mother and it worked. Jason's mother looked at her and patted her head gently."You are too innocent. People like her shouldn't be pitied, though. Let her beg and we might at least be able to give her food," she said.I snorted at her words and rolled my eyes. Even if I starve to death, I won't apologize to any of them. Do they think I care about the food? All I wanted was to get out of this place. When they were tired of mocking me, they left. I could hear their footsteps loudly outside and s

Aliyah’s POVThe next time my eyes opened up was morning. The door had been flung open, and my sleepy eyes were trying to make a face out of the figure. It did, and it was the doctor. Seeing the doctor appear, I knew that it was time for Kelan's morning dose. Was he early or had I slept in that late. He usually came in around 9am, which means I must have slept in. He greeted me with a nod, as we never really exchanged pleasantries. Then, he went on to perform his duties. I stared at him with disdain. He was killing Kelan slowly, and seemed to enjoy doing it by showing up every day. I didn't say anything at first. I was dreading the fact to tell him that his secret has been exposed. But as he started to squeeze in the syringe, I couldn't bear it. Not me watching Kelan receive another sedative after what I had known."Why are you keeping him asleep?"The doctor was so shocked that the little bottle he held fell to the ground and broke."I'm so sorry, what?" he acted out of place, sur
