DANTE…Despite having a heavy heart, I came to a firm decision of giving Ashley an intentional space.Not because I was guilty of my actions and I wanted her to forgive me but because I wanted to prove I wasn't guilty of the crime which I have been accused of.In my hands was a paper which had been soaked by my blood as the loud music kept banging in my ears.I gulped down the glass of tequila which burned my throat and made me choke.I was angry at the world but most especially at Ashley for not trusting me or giving me time to prove my innocence.She was gone from my life and has made it known to me, even if I find her she'll never be mine again.The harshest of punishment she could give to me was taking away every single memory of her, leaving me with a paper of her farewell.I became a soft hearted man because I decided to love a woman, I wasn't wrong when the words “love is the weakest of all" kept ringing in my ears.Love is the most foolish feeling in this world and because of
ASHLEY…After hearing such a heart breaking news which was disclosed to me, I had made up my mind to forget everything that reminded me of Dante and move on with my life.Everytime I gave him a chance, I always become affected because he had indeed turned me into a fool but that was enough of it.Dante didn't wait for my family to settle in and he was already in the arms of my sister!.What did I expect from a man who had tons of women around him before I entered into his life?I began to twitch in bed while holding onto my stomach, there was this excruciating pain I felt by the side of my abdomen.I have been eating a large portion of meal of lately while sleeping a lot, my face had begun to glow more than my actual self.I began to have hiccups as I covered my hand on my mouth while stretching forth my hand to get a glass of water.Before I could raise my body up, Racheal entered into the room and her eyes went directly to the table beside me as she picked up the glass of water whil
FIVE YEARS LATER…ASHLEY…“Mommy, I can't wait to participate in my school's pinic" my daughter, Arya's little voice resounded countlessly in my ears and the braveness which I had instilled inside of my self for the past five years of my life weakened.I left the city Dante resided in but no matter how hard I tried, I ended up leaving with his complete replica.Arya was his other soul that was yet to be born into this world and I breathe life into it.She had my facial features but her eyes were exactly like Dante's, his green piercing eyes but her's shone brighter, reminding me that my years of hardwork had been fruitless.I had gone to the hospital to undergo an abortion but I couldn't kill my own baby.I guess I had been clouded with the thought of hating Dante so much and I began to feel lonely.My pregnancy was three months and the doctor said I was at a higher risk of losing my life since I had massive complications.I had a change of heart to not abort my baby but I decided tha
ASHLEY… I heared the door bell ring and I wondered who must have been here by this time of the day?. It's evening and I knew Jaye had some business proposal with his investors, which concerns the hotels he wants to buy. Neither could it be Racheal, because she dropped Arya at her school campus and she wasn't the type to come home early because of the nature of her job. It felt as though coming to another city opened doors for Racheal as she decided to quit her work of being a stripper and venture into modelling and in the past years, she has made a wave as one of the topest and most successful model. I looked at the cctv camera to see who was at the door, it was some unknown faces and they had some luggages with them neither did I sense any danger. I unlocked the door and they welcomed me with a warm smile, a lady and a man. “Hello ma'am, we are your stylists and we have been assigned to dress you up and make sure you reach the location safely” the woman said "I'm sorry but ca
JAYE…My eyes stared deep into Ashley's eyes as she fumed in anger. Right from the first day I had set my eyes on her, she had been the most soft spoken person I had ever known.I hadn't seen her so angry and no matter how pissed she would get, Ashley always practiced self control and it must had helped her a lot but for her to curse at me with so much rage resonating inside of her. I knew I had crossed all limits and she couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't act as though it wasn't affecting when it was. The hard glare she expressed through her eyes made me wonder what her next actions were and I had to blame myself for it.Her recent behaviour in all the time of knowing her made me fall madly in love with her but she didn't reciprocate my love. She was so soft and loving towards me, she took such great care of me and made sure I didn't skip a meal. “How dare you think I could ever love you Jaye? it's time you bring down your hopes and face the harshest reality of us, I can never
ASHLEY'S P.O.V All eyes were on me as I walked to the the pole. I had a flirtatious smile on my face as I walked. I loved that feeling of men wanting to have me, but they couldn't. It was my trick. I make them thirsty for me, but I never let them get me. The moment my hands met with the pole, I started swinging on it. I kept going higher and higher. I spread my legs wide on the pole, letting my body move to the rhythm of the slow music that was being played. I was high on the pole. Very far from the floor. I looked at my audience with an evident smile on my face. Some generous men were already emptying thier pocket for me. I kept on smiling until my eyes met with someone and it dropped. My smile wasn't the only thing that dropped. I dropped too. I lost balance and found my self slipping to the floor. I was supposed to have a bad floor, but I was able to catch myself before that happened. “Holy fuck" That was the first thing that made it out of my lips. Dante Garvino was seated r
ASHLEY'S POV.. After multiple head twirls I woke up when I felt a cold sensation on my face. I tried to open my eyes but it felt weighty then I shut them instantly, I tried to move but my movements were restrained. I couldn't move my limbs neither could I convey a message, my limbs were tied with a shackle while a cloth was stuffed in my mouth. I shuddered, getting the courage to open my eyes then I peered around the ambience which hinted to be unaccustomed. I reminisced all the memories of what happened, they came into my head like questions I had forgotten to answer. I tried to free myself from the shackle and I didn't care much about the men standing before me, they just watched me as I kept struggling. I twisted my body multiple times then I tried to stand up from the chair but I watched all my efforts go down the drain. I stared at the ceiling with heavy breaths as I recited a prayer verse to calm myself down but then I bursted out with a loud cry. Suddenly the door swung open
ASHLEY'S P. O. V "Give into my demand and be my sex slave" his words made my face go pale instantly. I was stunned into silence by his unpleasing demand, I knew what being a sex slave to someone meant. "What!?" my numbness got replaced by uneasiness and anger and my eyes darted to look directly into his green deadly eyes which I felt like gouging out. Instead of pain I felt anger course through my veins, I gritted my teeth as irritation started bubbling in my chest despite my fear, my anger got the best of me and I opened my mouth to speak. "How dare you think you're in a position to place such a condition before me? I'm totally convinced you're nothing but a psychopath. How could your thoughts be so cheap? Disgusting! Shame on you" I spitted out and lashed out at him with disgust and anger lacing through my voice "If your mother had slapped you very hard when you were a child probably you would have had some manners and wisdom and also you would have known that women should always
