*Several Years Ago*Drey grabbed her hands lightly, but she lay there on the bed, cold and unresponsive. Thousands of emotions came rushing at him, and he couldn’t even determine what his next reaction was going to be. He had come to visit his ailing mother as usual at the same as he always had for the past six months. She was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago, and had undergone numerous surgeries and chemotherapy.When the cancer came in again after clearing twice, she insisted that she wasn’t going to go through chemotherapy, and would rather spend that time with her family, so she could enjoy her last times with them. Drey was only 19 years old, while his elder brother, Nathan was 22 years of age at that time. Their father was never around, and was always going from one trip to another, claiming it was for “the benefit of the family, and a bid to secure their future.” Drey had never been particularly close to his father, but Nathan had always come off as one who wanted to
It’s been two days since Marie received the biggest shocking news of her entire life, maybe asides her being kidnapped here and brought against her own will all because of her own father. But, this was much worse, and goes against all the plans she had for her life. She had laid in bed for the past three days, refusing to eat or entertain anyone, even though Drey had not come to check in on her even once.She wasn’t shocked by his behavior at this point, and she couldn’t even tell what it was at this point. One would think it was not the both of them that had attended two balls together, with him treating her like the most delicate thing to exist, only for him to shut her out each and every time. As for this time, she couldn’t even tell why he was angry at her for her own pregnancy. She remembered how he had been so angry when he saw the papers from the doctor, and how his fists folded in rage. She couldn’t tell if he was angry because she was now valueless to him, or if he now add t
Marie stared at Anna as she walked into the elevator. She was dressed in a formal, blue gown and a red-bottom three inches heel. Her hair was packed up tightly into a bun, and it was so firm that it looked like she had been drafted to fight at a war front. Marie was taken aback, because Anna was the last person she would expect to see, and wanted to see in this situation of hers.The most striking thing about Anna’s appearance was the smudge of her lipstick across her lips. She always wore bold red lipstick, so it was very obvious that the lipstick was smudged.“Had she and Drey been making out?”“Or did she accidentally rub it off on a surface?”“But, she is coming from the direction of his office?”A million thoughts ran through Marie’s head in that split second that she almost did notice that Anna nodded her head as if to either green or thank her for waiting. Marie, in turn, also nodded her head once in response to her greeting or whatever that was. The elevator closed, and both o
Marie and Drey stared intently at each other as if they were in some kind of staring contest, but with a lot of pent up sexual tension. They were barely an inch away from each other, and Drey looked directly into Marie’s eyes to stir a reaction from her. After a full minute of torturing each other with looks, Drey grabbed Marie by her wrist, and dragged her all the way to his working table.“Sit” he commanded her in a husky voice, referring to the work table behind her. Marie looked back and forth between Drey and his table wondering what kind of absurd request that was. Refusing to get into another trouble with him, she tried to sit on the table, but it was a bit higher than her bum level.Drey noticed her struggle and held her by the waist, in order to assist her sit on the table comfortably. Electric sparks flew through the air, and Marie’s mind went back to the last dinner, where he had held her by the waist most of the event. She was wondering where this whole situation was going
It was a cold, chilly and long night. The city lights were on in their fullest capacity, and were reflecting into the bar where Marie Parker sat.Inside the bar, people were grinding their bodies against each other, and the music was blasting loudly in their ears while people were engrossed in the rhythm-filled night.It was a Friday night, and half of the city were in one club or lounge trying to de-stress from the exhausting week they had just had.However, Marie couldn’t care any less about her environment, as she kept downing shots of alcohol like there were numerous cans of soda she often drank daily.Raising another shot to her mouth, she looked at her ring finger where an engagement ring laid some hours ago. She felt hot tears forming in her eyes, and a strong sensation down in her throat.She looked up, and blinked rapidly trying to get the tears to stop from rolling down her eyes.Ignoring that feeling, she gulped the shot, and shook slightly at the sour taste.“Marie, you re
Marie stirred in her sleep, as light penetrated directly from the window to her eyes.She groaned loudly , and opened her eyes slowly because she never sleeps with her window blinds open.A strong wave of headache hit her, and she winced Loudly in pain. She studied her surroundings, and went into full panic mode. She was in a large unfamiliar room, on a bed thrice the size of her bed back home. She tried to stand up, but the pain she was feeling wouldn’t let her. “Did I get drunk again?” She thought to herself, while almost pulling her hairs out in agonyShe got drunk for the first time in high school, and she promised herself never to do it again. It was at a pool party organized by one of the popular girls in school, so everyone who was anyone was present. Engrossed in the moment, she kept taking several shots while dancing crazily. After some time, she had taken more than she could handle, and she naturally went ahead to puke on herself while in the middle of the dance floor. Th
Marie stared out the black limousine she was bundled into by the scary-looking man. Her face was full of dried up tears. She had cried, screamed, fought and done everything within her little capability to avoid being taken away by the members of the gang.However, neither her father nor mother moved to rescue her or intervene. Till now, she doesn’t know the reason she is being carried away, so she just decides to give up, and let fate decide as she cannot win the battle, whatever it is.After two full hours of driving, the driver took a turn into what seemed like the woods, and she began to panic immediately.“What if they’re taking me into the woods to kill me” “Is this how my miserable life will come to an end?”Her thoughts began to travel all over the place, as they drove deeper into the forest.Just when she was about to shout for help, the most magnificent mansion she had ever seen came into view. A little gasp escaped her mouth as the gigantic gate opened by itself slowly, and
The big boss happened to be Drey Sandler, son of the biggest Mafia Boss in this whole of the city. The man with whom she encountered last night. However, she couldn’t recognize him, but he did.Drey was pretty shocked to see that his newly acquired property is the same person he had a one night stand with just the day before. However, he perfectly masked his shock, and scanned the young lady in front of him.Marie opened her mouth in awe unconsciously as she looked at the man behind the desk. He was completely different from what she had imagined he would look like. It was just like in the stories, but unlike books, she was a victim and she wasn’t finding anything funny.He cleared his throat, and gave them his most serious look“Bob, excuse us” he said with a straight face.Immediately Bob stepped out, Drey looked back at the girl probably expecting her to break character, or say something about their encounter , but she stood there, staring blankly.“Can I know why I have been kidna
