Chapter Seventeen•KIANA•The store attendant removed the money for the gadgets from Mr. Aiden's credit card and packed what we bought properly. I tried to collect the package from the attendant but Mr. Aiden stopped me."Leave it." He ordered and I stayed rooted to the spot."Get that package." He said to one of the guards that accompanied us and the guard did as he said."Our job here is done." He uttered and walked out of the store and I immediately followed behind him, trying my best to not get him angry with my walking steps because he got angry at the slightest things.We got into the car and the guards went into the car that they followed us with.Mr. Aiden started the car and drove out of the store premises and began driving down a road that was different from the route we took when we were coming. Maybe he's just taking a different route to the Villa?During the long drive, I must have fallen asleep at some point because when I was woken up and I opened my eyes, I saw that we

Chapter One•KIANA•"Kiana, you're still here?" I heard my boss, Mrs. Kareem, ask and I raised up my head."Yes ma'am, I'm still here." I replied in a low voice while rubbing my eyes to chase the sleepiness away.I work as a salesgirl in a convenience store and I'm currently sleeping in the backroom where my boss found me now."What are you still doing here? I was about to close up the store and I thought that I should check around before closing up, thank goodness I found you here or you would have been locked inside the store." Mrs. Kareem said with a hint of a smile on her face and I chuckled lightly."Oh, I'll get my things and leave now, ma'am. Thanks for waking me up." I got on my feet and said. I was about to walk away and get my things when Mrs. Kareem stopped me."Wait a minute, Kiana. Are you okay? I've been noticing that you've been sleeping on duty lately, is everything alright?" She asked with concern on her face and I put on a faux smile on my face."I'm fine, ma'am. Th

Chapter Two•KIANA•I watched in confusion as my father's face went pale in shock when Aria mentioned that some huge men were in the sitting room demanding to see him. I wondered who the men could be as I silently followed behind my father and Aria to the sitting room. I noticed that my father's hand was shaking and he looked nervous as hell. By now, I had forgotten about the laundry and the only thing on my mind was to quench my curiosity and see who the men that made my father nervous were.My father and Aria got to the sitting room while I stayed behind a wall, where I hid so that Aria wouldn't see me. I could see everything that was happening in the sitting room from this angle but someone could hardly see me.Indeed there were big men in black suits and dark shades and each of them were bigger than my father. They all had hard expressions on their faces and even a blind person could see that they were dangerous. That made me shiver in fear.My eyes drifted off to Candice who was

Chapter Three•KIANA•I felt my fingers twitch as my eyes slowly cracked open. I snapped it close a second later because of the bright light. I opened my eyes again and they have gotten accustomed to the light. The first thing my eyes came in contact with was a beautiful tray ceiling with a golden chandelier. I let my hand wander across the bed and it was softer than anything I had ever seen. I quickly got into a sitting position and looked around the room. The room was dark, save for the chandelier and the curtains were drawn close but sunlight was peeking inside. There was a nagging voice at the back of my mind telling me that I had been abducted and I tried to remember what happened.That was when everything that had happened began playing in my head like I was watching a TV. I remembered being dragged out of my father's house by the huge men that came to get back their money, I also remember that I was put inside their car and one of them drugged me when I was putting up a fight.

Chapter Four•KIANA•"Huh Julie... What's the occasion? Isn't this a little too much for someone that's going to be locked up in a room all day?" I asked with a puzzled look on my face."No, it's not too much. And you're not going to stay locked up in this room. You're going to have brunch with The Boss' family." She said and I froze.Say what?!"What did you say?" I quizzed, like I didn't hear her the first time she said it."You're going to have brunch with The Boss' family." She repeated calmly."Why? And who is this "Boss" that you've been talking about?" I questioned, emphasizing on the boss."You're having brunch with them because they want to meet you and also because the Boss said so. And the Boss I've been talking about is Mr. Aiden Griffin." She responded patiently.Who the heck is Mr. Aiden Griffin?! I've never heard of that name in the twenty years that I've spent on Earth."Uhm... Okay." I sighed."Is it mandatory for me to go for brunch? Can my food be brought to me?" I

Chapter Five•KIANA•I was in my room two hours later, laying on the bed with nothing to do. Breakfast with Emma, Gabriel and Cassie went really well and I secretly wished for it to never end but they had to go back to their house. Turns out this Villa was for "The Boss" and he didn't live with his family. They only came to get to know me and have brunch with me which was quite a nice thing to do. Now, I'm back in my room with nothing to do. I could only stare at the ceiling as if there was something interesting about it.If I had a notebook and pen with me. I could make myself busy by writing but neither of that was here. Trust me, I've checked every nook and cranny of this room but I didn't find anything that I could write with. I would have asked Julie for the notebook and pen but she had left me after the brunch and the door was locked. I had nothing to do except for laying on the bed and staring at the ceiling and walls.I was beginning to fall asleep when I heard someone open t

Chapter Six•KIANA•I woke up two hours later when I felt someone's burning gaze on me. I snapped my eyes open to see a large figure bent above me. The figure showed that it was a man and I stared into deep blue eyes that were staring right at me. The first thing I heard the figure say was:"Hello Kiana. Nice to finally meet you." The deep voice resounded in my ears and it sent shivers down my spine.I instantly got into a sitting position, scared to the bones."Who are you?" Was the first thing that came out of my mouth."Your soon-to-be husband." He replied coldly and I shivered in fear.I have a feeling that this man is not nice."I don't have a future husband!" I blurted out a snappy reply before I could stop myself."Oh? You don't?" He asked in a tone that I could very well tell that he was mocking me."Yes! I still have a long way to go in my life and a husband in not part of my agenda now." I stated."Oh well, you don't have a choice in this matter, bitch." He said coldly."I

Chapter Seven•KIANA•"What did you just say?" I asked dumbly, like I didn't hear what he said before."You've been making me repeat myself in the last minutes and I don't normally do that." He stated."I said that what if I sent you to college?""Wow, do you mean it? This is the first time I'm hearing something like this." I uttered, staring at him with a mixture of shock and disbelief."I don't say things that I don't mean." He responded simply.I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I had always dreamed of going to college to study English Literature but I discarded that thought because of lack of money. Now, Aiden is offering to send me to college. There's no way I'm refusing that offer.I looked at him with tears welling up in my eyes."Are you serious?" I asked in a whisper."Yes bitch, I am!" He snapped and I figured out that he couldn't take any more of my questions. I turned a deaf ear to what he addressed me as."Wow, thank you so much. I don't know how to appreciate you."
