I stated at Alex hopefully. A smile stretched on my face." Please don't look too happy yet not until you hear what I'm going to say" he sounded really serious. This made my mood change to that of worry.I nodded " Ok go on"...Alex releases a breath " Ella there are things you don't know about yourself. So much that I'm not going to say. I'd prefer Zion to tell you about that "I furrowed my brows confused " Is it that serious?"Alex nodded " But regarding your parent, your mom was kidnapped by your father"" I know that already" " Your father is a ruler of another community."Why was he speaking in riddles " I don't get you? Do you mean a king or something?"" Yes, more like a king but a dangerous king "My heart raced. Mom? I hope he haven't hurt mom yet, oh God." What of mom is she in some kind of danger?" I asked " For now she's being locked up but no harm is yet inflicted on her. I doubt he'll hurt your mom because he still loves her and she doesn't love him. If her denial pe
Zion looked into my eye so deep that I thought he'd see through me. I was so scared he might know my plans. This was not the time to give up. I'm not going to allow anything to stop me from achieving my plan." Tell me something" I started " Why do I feel so special today having all your time. What's the occasion?"Zion chuckled " must there be an occasion before I can come to see my woman?".I shrugged " With you, everything is just confusing So I can't say"He drew me so close to him that I could feel the heaving of his chest. My heart skipped a beat, he was doing things to me that I can't even explain. I like this man a lot. I don't even know how he was able to steal my heart but I love him so damn much. No matter the love I might have for him, I can't stop my plans. It's either now or never.I placed my hand on his chest. That serves as a barrier between us. I could feel the beating of his heart on my palm" Do you love me?" I know the question sounds stupid but I don't care. I n
Stella's povI was so worried that maybe something had happened to Ella. My phone has been ringing nonstop and I'm sure it was Alex. I guess he's been looking around for me.I don't want anything to jeopardize my plan with Ella. I just hope we are about to do the right thing. I was so deep into my thought that I didn't see someone coming my way." Hello, miss," a voice said with a bow.I was calm when I saw that it's just a guard." Hi," I said cheerfully " What is the name?"I didn't allow my face to give it away." It's Philip miss," he said " Oh yeah, Philip. Is there a problem ?” I asked." No not at all Miss"" So why are you here?" I asked " I just came to confirm if everything is fine because you've been standing here for quite some time now. This place is out of bound and I'm sure you're aware of that "I know he was only doing his work but yet I still felt annoyed. I never wanted anyone to see us which was why I took this side. " I know. I needed my privacy so which brought
I hide behind a big tree ready to implement the plan. Stella was already talking to the guards. My heart thumped in my chest as everything seems to go slow.The more I think about Zion the more guilty I become. Jeanette also have no idea of what I was about to do. I seem like the bad person now.I decided not to get too consumed by my thoughts to not fail the plan. I don't know what Stella was saying to the guards but they seem interested. The last guard finally went to join them and that was my cue to leave.Stella carefully looked at my side to not draw suspicion. I knew that was my cue to leave and I did exactly that. The moment I was out of the gate I turned around and I could catch Stella's gaze, she nodded. I ran after that, I ran with everything I got. This must surely hurt a lot of people and I feel so bad about that.*****ZionI yawned as I got up from the bed. I rubbed my eyes and turn to wake Ella up but was surprised to see it empty. She might be in the shower, I thought
EllaMy legs felt so weak from running. I successfully ran as far as I can. With the little money Stella helped me with, I was able to use it to get some food along the way. I don't know where I was exactly but all I know right now is that I look like a madwoman. It was already morning and people were out already going to their places of work. I spotted a bus stop along a corner so I went there to wait for any passing bus. I was the only one standing.It was freezing but thanks to the sweater I wore it helped keep me warm. I rubbed my hands together to reduce the cold in my hands. It felt like ice. I sighted a bus coming in my direction and I couldn't be happier waiting for it to stop in front of me. Luckily it was heading to where I was about to go. I was going home. I know it felt stupid but the best way to draw my father to me is by going home. I'm sure he must have people around to stalk the house in case I come anytime.I need to be very prepared, I thought to myself.I stood be
Zion gave me a death glare that can make one piss their pant. I didn't want him to feel triumphed so I shot him a hot look too. He freaking tied me up to a chair.We were in an unfamiliar hut. He also didn't know the owner because he broke down the lock to the hut when we got there. The hut looks abandoned and unkempt.I fought for release but he tied me up so tight. I felt paralyzed and angry." Let me go Zion. You can't just tie me up like this. I need to find my mom. She must be in danger right now " I said.Zion shot me a glare " Is that what you want Ella?! You fucking tried to run away! In fact, you ran away. Do you know who is your father?" I was getting riled up " You don't need to shout at me. This is my fucking life and I get to do whatever I want to do" I said to him and he growls." You're mine Ella and I have all the right to stop you whenever I want. Imagine my surprise when I woke up just to see that you weren't in bed with me. You tricked me into sleeping with you jus
My mouth was wide agape. How can someone be so handsome even in a moment like this? I swallowed. Zion smirked at me. Need I remind you that this man was shirtless. He stood tall in only his trousers. His packs were screaming to be touched.I couldn't take my eyes away from that I didn't know when he was standing so close to me. He clicked his fingers in my face bringing me out of my thought. " You can take a picture love, they last much longer" He winked and I blushed so hard." Oh please. I wasn't staring" Zion chuckled " You were staring and even salivating " I was rendered speechless " You're lying, I wasn't salivating "" But I saw you swallowing hard. Who cares by the way? All this " he said pointing at his body " Is all yours, babe, and no one else"" Not even Sandra's," I said just to rile him up and man was I right.Zion's mood changed immediately " Are we back to this now? I shrugged then folded my arms " You can't blame me"He gave me a look then said " I'd love to argue
We went deeper into the forest just so to look for a safer place to spend the night. An informant told us we are closer to our enemy's den and I really can't wait for the attack. It feels so strange referring my father as the enemy. Someone I haven't seen at all.I was sad because mom was still with him and I hope he hasn't done anything to hurt her. I won't forgive myself if she was hurt. My sadness couldn't be hidden. I saw Zion looking at me from afar.He was together with the warriors planning our next move. I guess he was bothered by how gloomy I looked.I forced a smile just to make him feel better but the Zion I know wasn't having it. He raised a brow at me and I shook my head indicating nothing was wrong.I could feel how worried he was. He wish he was over here with me and not over there with the warrior."You seem so disturbed" Stella said from no where.I turn around and there she was, standing behind me. I cock a brow " I don't get what you meant."Stella chuckled " Even a
