BRANDEN"Sylvester?!" I yelled. My eyes fell on Sylvester's stunned face. Diana was on the bed half naked, tears rolling down her eyes."What's going on here? Are you trying to rape Diana? Sylvester!!" I became perplexed and stupefied to see Sylvester, he shivered with fear like an injured bird who saw danger and knew there was no escape.I clenched and unclenched my fists at the outrageous deeds of my only brother. My veins tightened and my heart raced with purging anger."Fuck!! How dare you?!" My teeth gritted in anger.Sylvester stepped back and released his hold from Diana right before my very eyes. She stood up and ran towards me in fear, she was covered in sweat and tears.I dug my hands in my pocket and pulled out a gun. This has probably been his plan all along, to come when I'm gone. "Babe please don't kill him, calm down please" A frightened Diana begged. I Ignored her pleads and cocked the gun at him, before I kill him I have to know if he is the perpetrator behind all
DIANAWeeks after the incident Branden wasn't the same, he made sure to always put on a smile around me but I watched him sit alone on the balcony top, thinking. I could feel he was hurt. Seeing his only brother betray him and his father betray his mother. With all that has happened I don't think he might trust anyone anymore, seeing how bad his family had treated him. Branden was never a man to smoke but now he smokes often. He became seriously depressed and bothered. Sometimes he lashes out on me for no reason particularly, I choose not to retaliate because I know he is hurting.He drinks and wastes his self to sleep every night. It hurts me do deeply to see him this way. He has turned into a cold hearted man, I fear his ruthlessness and anger. I always make sure to give him whatever he needs whether I'm ok with it or not. His ruthlessness shows up more after he smokes or drinks.As I laid down in the abyss of darkness, my eyes saw black and I went numb for a minute. I couldn't fe
DIANA"Ahhhh" I yelled at his impromptu and aggressive entry, the tears continued to roll down my eyes as he forcefully thrusted into me. A hand of his held my hand and another held my head. I screamed and quivered at his painful domination but no one was there to save me.With loud groans and screams reverberating over the walls of the dark room, I finally escaped him and attempted to run out of the door when he jammed the door before I could open it."And where is it that you're going to? I wasn't done with you" he pulled me back and held onto my neck, his huge hands veiled my entire neck almost causing me to choke."Braden please stop, this isn't you" I murmured with my last breath, tears didn't stop it's flow from running down my cheeks. He ignored and pushed my neck to the wall, sweat rolling down, eyes feeble and my knees weak. His eyes bore into my naked being for several minutes, I could no longer stand or breathe well.In my moment of gasping for air, his left hand raised a l
ONE YEAR LATERStanding right in front of my reflection, my eyes fell on my gorgeous self. Dressed in a sleeveless white gown, today was the day I've waited all my life for.I'd finally be a graduate, nothing can stop that from happening now. From the mirror I could see my graduation robe lying clean and ironed on my bed. It was like a dream come true.For months my relationship with Branden has been nothing but rosy and peaceful, ever since he forced me into sleeping with him a year ago he has been nothing but calm and quiet.He mended his relationship with his father and brother, although there is still a visible gap between three of them but they aren't enemies anymore.My final year days were pleasant although I didn't have much time to spend with Branden, he always made the most of the times we spent together.We resumed our outings, we made beautiful memories despite our busy schedules. I turned into a celebrity after a while, I came across paparazzi anytime I left early for lect
DIANAI retreated back to the rest room to ease myself, on my way back so many coursemate of mine approached me cheerfully, we exchanged greetings and plodded back to our seats.Loud music reverberated from the huge speaker across the arena. The show started off with a speech from the Vice chancellor."Good morning to everyone at this ceremony, It is an honour to award and present the current outgoing set. They have studied, worked and dedicated themselves into learning for the betterment of their lives and the community at large. Shortly before we present their award we would love to acknowledge some prestigious personalities: Dr Frank Aiden, Hon Leo James, Mrs Joyce Smith......" My attention towards the host rapidly increased on hearing Mrs Smith's name. Braden's mother attended the graduation ceremony? Why? Was I the reason? Is she standing for Branden? Wow! If she was going to be filling in for Braden then it's possible that he won't make it.All of a sudden the feeling of amazem
DIANAThe huge figure reached out to a switch beside him and flipped it on. A white bright light shone from the ceiling, making the lab visible and bright. I veered my eyes towards the unidentified man and scanned his profile repeatedly, he looked very familiar. I must have seen him somewhere but I don't recall where."Don't you remember me?" he said with a beaming smile on his face. Flashbacks from the past suddenly hit me, reminding me of who he was.Fuck! I know this man!"Remember me now?" he flashed a smile at me and advanced towards me slowly. I reversed my steps back, terrified to see this evil man once again. The same man hired by some goons to kidnap me. I remember it like it was yesterday.He sat comfortably at the driver's seat and alighted the windows glass to see me clearly. He was putting on a blue shirt inside the car, trying to cajole and persuade me into entering the car with him.I was so lucky to have escaped that treacherous incident. What the fuck is he doing he
DIANA "Surprise!!!" Branden's loud voice resonated through my eardrums as I dashed out of the building in terror. "Branden?" I strained my eyes for better sight, it seemed like I was in a trance or a dream. He was definitely the last person I was expecting."Yes baby.... I came for my baby girl on her big day" He tucked his hands back into his pocket and slowly walked towards me, his eyes radiating with so much happiness.My heavy heart deduced it's weight as I stopped panting from the run.I was mortified to see him not just because he was dressed in a black fancy tuxedo but because I never expected to see him today. He blew my graduation ceremony for his work and now he is here? Standing cheerfully waiting for me to burst out of the doors like an animal. I was running for my dear life not knowing it was all a plan.It took a little time to process all that had happened and all that was in front of me.Behind Branden was a big black BMW, well polished and designed with scarlett ribb
DIANA I turned to see Branden sleeping gracefully beside me, his snores quiet and calm. What does this man do that I don't know? Why were my parents pictures in his study room? Maybe he was just trying to dig into my past and then he got those pictures, maybe he means no harm. I couldn't tell for sure. My instincts are pressuring me to walk into his study but I can't stand up, Branden's arms are around me, restricting me from moving. I'll have to wait till tomorrow when he is at work then, I'll sneak into his study again and see if I can find more information. "Branden isn't who he says he is" those words continued to purge my mind as I laid beside Branden. What if that man wasn't lying? Maybe there is something about Branden that he knows and I don't. ******** The awe inspiring sun dashed across the blue bright sky, penetrating it's rays through the drapery white curtains. I peeled open my eyes, at first my vision blurred for quit some time before it readjusted well. Branden
