Finally, we reached our destination.I am currently standing at the entrance. Just checking out everything here in awe and admiration.
It's so mesmerizing, oh goodness. I would have definitely regretted if Roman hadn't threatened to attend the gala.
Plus cherry on the cake Roman is your date my inner voice mocks me. Well, I must agree with her on this. Feeling giddy giddy in my stomach on this whole situation, bringing a full blown smile make its way to my face.
"Earth to Ella" My eyes went wide in horror he must be thinking I literally forgot he's standing right next to me!
Giving him my nervous sheepish smile. I didn't say anything,,just shakes my head left to right slightly. He broke the silence "sunshine would you like to go inside, if you are done with checking things from the outside. "
I feel the heat rush through my veins at the embarrassment and endearment, but I masked it well. Caressing my heart with fake sad expressions, I say "you hurt me honey for real this time" to which he chuckled shaking his head and dragged me inside.
I am mesmerized for the unknown time now. Everything here screams money, power, intimidation, wealth and all the aristocratic vibes. This place is like we just landed on some other planet. Suddenly I feel like I have become Cinderella and this is my ball night. Ha-ha, silly, I know, but I can't help it....I am so going to enjoy this night.
Firstly, we are going to greet Mr. And Mrs. Maxwell,"hello sir, hello ma'am. I am Ella summers and he is Roman Rodriguez. we are from the new York embassy thank you so much for inviting us. you have arranged the event amazingly. it's so great, really mesmerized."
Mrs. Maxwell smiles warmly at us and replies "the pleasure is all ours Ella and thank you for coming. both of you. Please enjoy the party. " we left giving them our small smile and with curt nods.
We left from there for them to greet other guests as well. As we were kinda blocking the way, standing in the middle on the grand stairs from where we were getting too much attention.
"Mrs. Maxwell is such a sweetheart, but Mr. Maxwell he looks so grumpy. I was getting very off vibes from him. he don't even give us a small smile. his face was just blank. I wonder how Mrs. Maxwell handles him, he's so scary!" My rambling starts with my supposed partner.
We are currently standing to the bar side because my heels are killing me painfully. I am still not used to wearing high heels, it's about 8 inches for god's sake, I am leaning against the bar table for support, whereas my so called best friend is busy in checking out other women who are literally wearing nothing in the name of clothes.
I groan looking at them. Come on, can you really call them clothes??? Just covering your tits and bits.... is it enough! I tilt my head to look towards him only to get my mood sour. Urrrgh Roman ,I nudge him in his stomach.
He cringes, whisper yell at me "what the hell "the nerve of this guy. The tiny, tiny crush I had on him dies this moment.
"what the hell seriously ,are you even listening to me? I am just blabbering constantly to myself for so long thinking my besti and I are in a conversation." I burst at him in annoyance.
He gave me his million dollar smile -oh god no, I know what is coming "Ella, we are in such amazing place. We can chat later, as much as you want, but for now let me just enjoy the scenery okay. You don't want your Friend to die single now do you? No right! I gotta go now, I think I need something sweet to eat."
He ends staring seductively at a blonde bimbo, dressed in a red dress with sexy hourglass figure, long legs, swollen fake lips. Many man's are eye raping her including Roman and she is doing the same to him. To which he responds with his evil smirk and lustful eyes.
He starts moving towards her not before giving me a wink. She met him in the middle. They stare at each other for 2 minutes properly taking their sweet sweet time. What are they doing??? Total creeps. I just move my eyes for two seconds, two freaking seconds in annoyance and when I look when I look back at them, they were gone.
Are they even for real, I am looking for them, here and there but no clue. I don't even want to wonder what they might be doing because I already know. I don't want to imagine Roman sucking-licking her yuk yuk, shh my perverted brain doesn't imagine these things.
I need fresh air plus my dress and heels aren't helping either, I need fresh air with a seat for my ass to relax for a bit.
I don't even know where are my other colleagues and honestly I am not in the mood to meet them either.
I left the hall in search of a seat there are many rooms, but unluckily all are locked. I guess, I need to find backyard. There might be something to sit on. Finally, after fifteen minutes, I found the backyard. I stop dead my track to look at the beauty in front of me. The garden is so huge...and alluring.
There are different kind of flowers perfectly gardened and shaped.I just need a bench or something now. I look around aha jackpot, a bench on the other side. I am practically limping all the way to the bench, forcing my legs for just a bit more. That's it, almost there guys..... I smile in triumph. Finally.... mission accomplished.
Just as I was about to sit my dress somehow got stuck under my feet everything happened in slow motion. I stumble forward, one hand holding bench for support, the other holding my dress from the front, my dress's back ties open, threads hanging in the air by my sides.
My hand automatically clutched the front part of the gown to my body. It's my only protection right now. If I move, my grown babies would be on display. Luckily nobody's around, but still how am I going to tie it back.
I can't tie my strings with just one hand. With both the hands it was already difficult, but with only one hand, it's impossible. Moving my free hand back, I try to tie the strings with one hand only. I am trying and trying and trying but failing miserably.
Suddenly I felt a hand coming in contact with my bare back. Goose bumps erupted on my skin. My back to his front because of the roughness of the hands I assume it's a male. My mind went straight in frenzy before I could scream his palm captured my mouth muffling my screams. Dread filled my body and I continued to scream.
"Helppppppppp" he just tightened his hold on my mouth to the point it starts hurting "stop screaming women. I am not doing anything to you. Relax okay,I saw you trying to tie your dress back . I just came to help. now,if you stop screaming,we could get this over with faster,understand!" he grits in his deep insistent voice.
I nod as much as I am able to. "I am going to let go. No need to scream." I nod again and he loses his hold on me. Slowly completely retrieve his hand. Then tied my dress back.
Now I can finally relax, only a bit though. Not wanting to see his face, I ran from there, still my back to his front. I just wanted to go inside, he is scary. I don't know why, but his voice sounded familiar.
I heard him chuckling from behind. Ignoring him I ran inside the ballroom again. This ball is so tiring for me, I just want to go home and relax. I am done with all this.
As I made my way to the exit, eager to leave and find some solace, a hand suddenly landed on my shoulder. I turned around to see Jessica, wearing a concerned expression on her face. Oh, girl, I seriously needed a break."Where are you going, Ella? Are you okay? You look pale!" she bombarded me with questions. I tried to reassure her, saying I was just tired and planned to head home, assuring her that nothing serious had happened.Jessica was quite possessive as a close friend, and she wasn't about to let me go so easily. "No way, silly. If you're tired, you're not going anywhere just yet. Let's meet Mr. Maxwell's son, Aaron. You can go home afterward."Reluctantly, I agreed, feeling exhausted. Jessica led me through the crowd, and eventually, we came to a stop. There stood a man with broad shoulders, towering at least 6'3" in height, while I stood at just 5'4". I couldn't see his face as his back was turned towards us, but he wore a royal blue suit. Jessica called out to him, and he tu
I woke up to find that nobody was at home. My mom had left with an aunt for reasons unknown, and Janice had stayed over at her friend's house the previous night, which I had just found out in the morning. I got ready for work, feeling tired even before the day had begun. Today was shaping up to be a long and exhausting day. ... A few hours later... Roman didn't show up at work today, probably due to a hangover, and thankfully, Janice didn't mention anything about yesterday. Other colleagues were giving me curious glances here and there, but otherwise, things seemed relatively normal. I set down my pen as I heard the ting sound of an old, rusted wall clock on the wall in front of me. I glanced at it and realized that it was already past 9 o'clock. I had stayed late, thanks to Jessica piling on extra paperwork for me. Taking a deep breath, I felt a sense of relief knowing that I had finally completed all the files that had been sitting on my desk. Now, I was the only one left in the
I sat there, listening to him say those words, panic building inside me. This was a dangerous situation, and I needed to think quickly to escape this psycho."First, let's untie your blindfold, shall we?" he said, coming closer to me. I could feel his body heat, his breath fanning my face. I started struggling, but he held me firmly, his grip unyielding. "Stay still, Ella. I won't bite...yet," he taunted.My breath hitched, and the discomfort of his proximity overwhelmed me. It was clear that he was enjoying this situation, while I was trapped and helpless. I fought against him, but realizing that it was futile, I stopped struggling.He continued, "Don't you want to yell at me or report me? You can do that. I won't stop you." It was all too much.He must be insane. I averted my gaze from him, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of seeing my fear. "Alright, I was just teasing you," he said, grinning at me. He was sitting just a short distance away.I fought back the urge to cry. I
The past few days had been in vain, as I was still deeply disturbed by Aaron Maxwell's audacious attack on me. He didn't need to escalate things to that level. We were no longer children, and he should behave like a grown man instead of someone with a stick lodged up his ass.That day, Mr. Maxwell dropped me off a few blocks away from my house, which I was grateful for. The car ride from the unknown location to my neighborhood was filled with complete silence. He blindfolded me again before leaving, ensuring I couldn't see where I was. Although, even without the blindfold, I wouldn't have been able to guess. Regardless, I didn't want to provoke him further, so I allowed him to do as he pleased, yearning to reach home as soon as possible.Upon arriving home, I met my mom at the doorway. I knew she must have been worried sick about me, and I could anticipate the onslaught of questions coming my way. However, I wasn't in the mood or had the energy to explain anything to her at that moment
After convincing roman,I left for home to pack for the entire week.I don't even know what should I pack. so I decide to put some formals ,informals and gown "just in case of emergency,you never know when things will be needed" shoes,heels,flats , small kit of makeup I have to look presentable. Somehow I manage to put all my stuff in just two suitcases,I know,I am great. The day went by so fast,mom currently hangs out with my aunt so often ,we barely at home at the same time but she perfectly took care of our meals and other necessities plus with her now a days famous note stick on our freeze door. On the other hand Janice move into dorms at her college to focus on her studies completely.I don't know what happened with her but I can surely feel something is up with the girl.I have decided to figure out after my trip to Geneva,I can just hope my baby is alright because with dad not being around so often I have to take care of both of them
"You know,you should not sabotage other's reserved table" Maxwell states sitting in front of me. All the colour drained off my face remembering past events with him. The way he manhandled me. I gripped my bag's strip tightly. Standing up to leave from there but his voice stopped me from moving further. "I wouldn't do that if I were you unless you want a repeat of last time!" The nerve of this man ,he practically threatened me in public. I can't control my anger with this guy, seeing me not moving further he added. "Good,now that you are here shall we have our dinner like normal people " I can't keep up with him anymore "I am not here for having dinner with you" I grit my teeth in anger. He made a smug face saying "Too bad i thought you don't want to make a scene but i don't mind repeating last time events ,i actually enjoyed your company ELLA " HE
Did you ever get a feeling just by seeing someone to rush to them and hug the life out of them in pure bliss ! That's what I am feeling right now! just by looking at roman ,god's really with me today ,huhh . I was so busy , staring at roman that I forgot about my surroundings and the situation I was in. Till the throat clearing sound burst my bubble of happiness,I came back from my lala land, looking around. Roman is giving me the look "what the hell is going on" through his eyes. when I turn my head towards Maxwell ,I saw him glaring daggers at roman then his gaze shifts from him to I. After a min or two ,well I wish he was better glaring daggers at roman because the look he's giving me ,looks like anytime he is going pounce on me and eat me alive. Red eyes with no emotion, clenched jaw ,his whole demeanour is giving vibes of devil himself. I need to do something real quick
"And I don't know where to start,what to tell him, Should I tell about my abduction or Maxwell's threatening me. what will be his reaction I don't know,will he believe me" all these things were going in my head looking at Roman and he become impatient this time. "Ella you can't run away everytime,you have to face it. Whatever is it going between you two. I want all the details right now. I am not letting you go before you tell me everything and truth Ella only the truth" "Roman I ,umm I.....I don't know from where to start roo" sighing softly , remembering all the previous events happened to me. "Wait let's go to my room and don't worry I am with you" I smiled softly at him, nods my head in acceptance.we went inside his room ,I move forward walked till the bed and sat at the edge looking down on my joined crossed fingers resting on my lap. After loc
