“where is she?." I asked Kylee as she was returning from the bathroom.“Gabriel... She's not in the bathroom."I heard my name being called on stage and people were already giving me a standing ovation.“I'm sure she's in the party somewhere, please go up. I'll find her." Kylee said with a reassuring smile that told me that she was worried.I was reluctant to leave but there were hundreds of people waiting for me.I left the seat and went on stage. I said a few things. I could not keep my mind off Cristela's disappearance, not after Lora had showed up.I left the stage quickly to find the seat empty. I looked around searching for Kylee.“Mr Gabriel, thank you for coming." Ryan said smiling widely.“Have you seen Blue... She's supposed to be with Cristela."“You know how Blue is, constantly wandering off." Ryan said, bemused.I shut my eyes and when I opened them again, I saw Kylee running towards me.“The security guards saw them walking towards the parking lot." Kylee said breathles
I crawled away from him and he ran after me. He pulled my legs and threw me backwards. I was bleeding from multiple places. Now I had brushed my knee against the foot of the bed.“Mr Harrison, this is your last chance to let me go. You'll not like what will come to you if you hurt me further." I said to him, my lips felt numb and I was beaten up.His lips curled up in a ghost of a smile and the smile morphed into laughter, he threw his head back, laughing. I used the opportunity and ran for the belt.“Where do you think you're going?." He asked, I heard the amusement in his voice. I grabbed the belt that was lying idle on the floor.He squinted his eyes but the smile had not yet left his face.“What do you think you're going to use that for?." He stepped closer to me and I swung the buckle on his face as hard as my hands could permit me.The loud sound it made when it slashed on his face gave me pure joy. His hands flew to his cheek and he examined the red liquid escaping the wound I
“I have to call Gabriel." I said nervously. “The phone might have a password." Blue said.“It doesn't." I told her. Lucky for me, I memorized Gabriel's number some time ago.I tried it a couple of times but there was no reply.“He's not answering."“Maybe he's not with his phone. Try Ryan's."“Call the number out to me."I typed the number in and called. I put it on loud speaker, waiting for someone to answer.“Hello...." It was Gabriel.“Oh god, Gabriel...." I said crying.Hearing his voice was like a rainbow after the storm. Fresh tears fell from my eyes and I could not stop myself from shaking. “Cristela, tell me where you are baby." I could hear fear in his voice and a lot of other emotions.“I don't know where we are but we're heading to the highway..."“That's Mr Greene's car following us." Blue said distracting meI turned to see that Mr Greene's white car was actually following us.“Drive to a police station Blue." Ryan's voice interjected, they must have put us on loud spe
The knock on the door was soft.“Who's there?." Blue asked.Kylee opened the door and walked in. She was dressed in a black knee length skirt that had a slit at the side and a pale pink chiffon blouse.“We're going to the hospital, get dressed." She said authoritatively.Blue climbed down from the bed and walked to the mirror. She didn't have any bruises, I on the other hand was beaten up.My lip had a cut at the side, my face had blotches of blue black marks. My temple had a cut and it was swelling, if not for the doctor that came yesterday, I would have been swelling in different parts of my body.I quickly left the mirror, ashamed of the girl staring back at me but proud too. I had fought that mad man with all the strength in me and I won.Blue and I showered together and we got dressed. I was wearing black shorts and an oversized t-shirt with sneakers and Blue was wearing a sundress, she looked different, more peaceful and calm.A good different.“Let's get going." Kylee said hold
Kylee was a life saver.She approached with her eyebrows drawn.“Who are you?." She asked Tina coldly.Tina looked from Kylee, to me then to Blue.“I was just asking some questions." Tina said, obviously intimidated.Kylee swiped the pictures Tina was holding and glanced at it.To my surprise, Kylee tore it to shreds.“Get out, now." She commanded in a perfection that only came with watching and observing Gabriel being cold and bossy carefully for years. It tore into Tina like a thousand tiny bullets.Tina stood on her feet, she tried to square her shoulders but it only made her look like she was drunk and trying too much to stand up right. Kylee had unmanned her.Tina reached into her bag, pulled out a camera and before I knew it, she started taking pictures. In seconds the lights shone on me and she ran as fast as she could the other way.Blue wanted to go after her, I was frozen.“Don't worry Blue, Gabriel would shut down her career before she can be able to write that story. Let's
Talia must be bluffing!.Maybe she stole his phone, I wanted to think everything but reject the fact that Gabriel would be with her.I checked to see the latest message from Gabriel. I didn't need to zoom the photo, I could see it clearly.Gabriel was sitting on a chair and holding a fork and knife. He was unaware that the photo was being taken.He was eating and it was a fancy restaurant, I could see the people sitting in the background dressed elegantly.He was wearing a pale blue chunky knit sweater, I could see that he was wearing Khaki pants and casual walking shoes... At first I take my time to admire him in casuals, he never dresses like this often, it's rare to see him in anything but formal business suits. He was handsome, breath taking even. Then my mind returned back to reality. He was having lunch with his ex submissive. He's having lunch with her. It slapped me across the cheek so sudden, my hands froze and the phone slipped from my grip. It fell to the ground and I hear
I wrote a note for my parents, I stared at it, wondering if I was giving out too much or hiding anything at all. I didn't want them to worry about me. It would do until I get a new phone to call them.They have suddenly stopped worrying about me anyway.I walked over to their house and dropped the note on the porch where I was sure they would see it.I drove my car into the garage of Mrs Rollins, it would stay there through out the vacation. That would be two weeks.I went upstairs and Jacob was waiting for me.“I wanted to show you something." He said pulling my hand and taking me to a room.I went to the window to look outside. From here I could see Derek's house.The house must be empty by this time of the year, the family must be on a trip.“Woah, what's that?." I asked in surprise as I watched Jacob carrying a huge box from a cupboard.He opened it.“Aqua Marine." He said with a proud smile.It was a miniature model of the cruise ship we were going to spend an entire week on, ev
GABRIELI drove into the garage, the gate had automatically opened. The first thing I noticed was that my girlfriend's car wasn't there.I parked and went into the house.“Cristela..." I called.I was about to climb the stairs to check for her in the bedroom when I caught sight of a red box.I halted, staring at the box in disbelief. Talia had that exact same box, we used to keep our BDSM playroom photos inside. My heart was skipping rope in my chest, I was beginning to fear the unknown reason why Cristela's car wasn't in the garage.“Cristela." I called, this time more louder and still I didn't stop moving forward to get the box.I opened it, inside was a brown leather box. I opened it and there it was, the photos. It fell from my hands and I ran up the stairs to Cristela's bedroom.Her journal was laying at the center of the bed, as if it was placed there for me to see. I didn't want to see what was inside, no.“Cristela." I shouted, running around the house, searching room by room
