Xalia sighed as she stared at the ceiling in her room, never had she been ever this bored in her life, she looked out the window and noticed the sun was setting already.Another day gone. She wondered how long she would keep living like a prisoner, she wasn't allowed to go outside or do anything she wanted.The door to her room opened and she sat up, Draven walked in dressed in casual wear and she stared at him.“Good evening.” She said to him since he wasn't saying anything, all he did was stare at her. He nodded to her greetings and sat on the bed.“Go get dressed.” He ordered and she wanted to ask him ‘why’ but she knew it was best if she kept quiet. “Okay.” She muttered and got off the bed. She was about to walk into the closet but he stopped her.“Hold on.” He said and she turned to him.“Pick up the dress you want to wear and come wear them here.” He ordered and she gulped, she blinked rapidly as she thought of what to say. He wanted her to strip in front of him, but she was not
Xalia whimpered and placed her hand on her forehead as she headed to the kitchen, she realised that the wound was from when she hit her head on the dashboard in the car. She found the first aid kit and walked back to the living room, she sniffed as she sat on the couch and breathed out.She was so annoyed, pained and frustrated, she felt like crying her eyes out but that would only make the pain worse. She suddenly heard footsteps and she turned to see Draven walking down the stairs. He walked to her and sat next to her. She breathed heavily as she stared at him with tears streaming down her eyes.“Stop crying.” He muttered as he opened up the first aid kit, Xalia sniffed and wiped her tears with the back of her hand like a baby. Draven kept glancing at her as he prepared the materials he needed for treating her wound, She finally stopped crying but she kept sniffing. He moved closer to her and he raised the wool in his hand.“It is going to sting a little.” He muttered and placed
“Draven Wade, Draven Wade is a multi-billionaire who has power in most countries over the world, he has the highest net worth in Atlanta, and he is the most ratted businessman too.” Allison explained.“Woah,” Xalia muttered.“Yeah girl, you are… ““How come I have never heard of him in all these years? His name doesn't ring a bell.”“Well, he is off the internet, his picture isn't on the internet and just Wade is there as a name, he seems like a ghost or something.” Allison explained and Xalia sighed.Allison noticed the look on her face and she used her thumb to crease her hand.“Are you okay Xalia?” She asked and Xalia shook her head, tears started to cloud her eyes and Allison hurriedly pulled her into a hug.“Hey, it's okay.” “Is something wrong? Is Draven hurting you?” Allison asked as Xalia pulled away from the hug.“Did my mum say anything to you?” She ignored Allison’s question and she shook her head in response. “Kyle?”“Not a word from the asshole.” Xalia sighed and wiped
“Is she okay?” Henry asked Draven as he drank his brown soup and stared at Xalia who was lying peacefully on the couch. She was in a deep sleep and didn't look like she was waking up anytime soon. “I don't know.” Draven replied as he went through his phone.“You shouldn't have knocked her out.” Henry shrugged and Draven rolled his eyes.“She was being annoying and she kept on distracting me.” “Then you could have knocked her out in a safer way.” Henry said and Draven scoffed.“Right, by hitting her right?” “She has been unconscious since last night and it is almost noon.” “I saved your life, quit whining.” Draven replied and Henry chuckled, he gulped down his soup and groaned as he slowly stood up from the couch and headed into the dining room.Xalia moaned in her sleep and she slowly opened her eyes, she felt a sharp pain in her neck and she groaned, as she sat up, her eyes met with Draven’s who was staring directly at her. She looked around and froze when she saw Henry walking o
“Draven.” She called and held the tip of her gown tightly in fear, Draven ignored her and he waited patiently for her to do what he ordered her to. “Please Draven, please don't punish me.” She begged with tears in her eyes and he didn't utter a word.“We are heading back to New Jersey today, the honeymoon is over.” He suddenly said and stood up, he walked up the stairs and Xalia sighed in relief.For a second, she thought she was about to get whipped and tortured, she sighed as she realised she was starting a new life in New Jersey with the stranger she got married to. She never pictured her life outside Atlanta or not being with Kyle.She is going to be all alone, with no friends or family, just Draven and Henry, such a life.********MANY HOURS LATERAT NIGHTXalia felt a soft tap on her cheeks and she groaned, She heard a familiar voice call her name and she slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She was confused about where she was so she closed her eyes back. “Xalia.” She hea
She felt her cheeks heat up and she played with her fingers nervously. She felt so uncomfortable because of the maids standing around the table, although they weren't staring at them but that didn't make it any better. “What do you want?” He asked using his thumb to crease her waist and Xalia looked up at the table. There were different types of meals there and she wanted all but Draven being this way was really making her uncomfortable.“Anything is fine.” He replied and he waved his hand to a maid, She walked to him and bowed.“Pour her a glass of milk.” He ordered and she did, the maid slowly handed the glass to Xalia and she took it, she gulped the milk slowly and Draven watched her as she did, he picked up a toast and took a bite out of it, as she dropped the glass, Draven fed her with the toast and she took a bite out of it.“Stay calm.” Draven whispered in her ear as he saw her battling with her fingers.Till the end of breakfast, Draven fed her and made sure she was filled be
“Is that a joke?” She asked and Draven shook his head. “Some ended up being dead, some are in jail while some are in rehab and a few are okay.” He replied and Xalia gulped, she felt scared and wondered what would happen to her but at the same time, she felt so curious about what the instruments on the walls are used for. There are really a lot of things she hasn't seen before and they seem to amaze her. She slowly walked towards the wall and Draven watched her as he tucked his hands in his pants pocket, she picked up the leather cuffs and turned to Draven. “These are leather cuffs right?” She asked and Draven nodded. “Do they hurt?” She questioned further and Draven slowly walked towards her, he held the cuffs and looked at her. “Are you that curious?” He asked and Xalia could hear her heart race. “Yeah.” She whispered and he took the leather cuffs completely from her. “Stretch out your right hand.” He ordered and she slowly did, Draven cuffed her right hand and pulled her to a
She slowly turned to Draven who was looking upset.“I’m sorry.” She apologised.“You have the guts to defy me now?” “No, I was just so mad, that is my dad’s assistant and I didn't expect to see him here.” She replied without looking directly at him.“You didn't have to become a nuisance, I was having a meeting.” “I was shocked, okay? Anyone in my shoes would do the same thing.”“No, anyone in your shoes would be smart enough to walk away.” He said and Xalia rolled her eyes.“Well, maybe I am not smart, okay? I have been quiet all these while trying to take it all in and it is fucking making me go crazy! I got abandoned by my fiance on my wedding day and in a flash, I found out some dude was waiting for me at the altar and my fiancee was getting married to my step-sister who was already carrying his child! Then this minute my mother was on my side, the next she was not, I got married to a stranger and I found out my father sold me to him, no surprise there but it is all messed up!”
