ZAVIER CROSSThere was only one thing about all of this and that was the fact that I can't keep all of this away for long from her and that was if she was even here.For a minute, my mind drifted to the thought of her–It was days and she was still missing with no sign of her, I was still trying all I could to get her out of my mind just as Bianca had said.She seemed to know a lot more.In a way, the thought of Raini dragged me into all of this. I was dealing with a lot at the moment and having this girl in my arms that was barely Seventeen was tough on me.I walked to the couch and laid her down there silently, at that moment I would have changed places with her…I would have switched places with her considering how peaceful her mind was at the moment.I watched as her chest rose and fell like the tides of a quiet sea.Her face was covered with dark wood soil aside so that I could see why the crazy perverted men were after her.A part of me wanted to go back to the wood and ripped th
RAINI POVWho said thoughts were not diverse…I could feel every bit of its diversity in mind and yet it did nothing to change me.Was I prone to change from my flickering thoughts?It was all that clouded my mind over the last few days that she had been away.Bianca had been the only one I could talk to, aside from the women that were with me in the room, she was the only one that I could open up to and if there was a way out which I believed there was not, she was the way out.Still, I wouldn't succumb to whatever they are asking me to do-I might not as well know what it was at the moment but I wasn't succumbing to it, no matter what.I sat in the middle of the room, it was three weeks since I got abducted and I knew that because I counted.The last time Bianca had been here she had mentioned to me the days and I had counted since then.As my legs criss crossed on the chair, watching a raindrop make its way down the windowpane— I thought of what the outside world would be like behi
ZAVIER POVIt took more than the shattering of Raini's portrait on the mere floor to get me back to reality, even though I was still a very long way deep in the shallowness of my mind.The perfect word should have been confusion but rather I felt nothing like confusion at the moment, all I felt was something deep and bitter inside of me all I felt was rage.I was a deep thinker, and at the moment every Synapse in my brain had traveled far and wild to my imagination.One thing about deep thinkers was the ability to overthink and act paranoid about almost everything and at that moment I was right there on top of the list.I had not started my life like that but slowly I had developed into someone who couldn't do without thinking externally about the outcome of things.I was right there with Cynthia —The young lady I just saved her ass and all I could think of was what Raini could be facing at that moment.In a way and how she had acted, I could tell she certainly knew what she was talki
RAINI POVPerfectly what I was expecting!Just at the moment when I was thinking all this was my fate and I was doomed to remain here for the rest of my existence, Bianca had given me the shock of my life.I returned to the dining room discreetly just before the row call was made and for the first time in quite a long time, I had a smile on my face.I had always thought there was something about her that was quite controversial and all this while she was helping because of a whole different reason.As fate would have it turned out that I was thinking exactly what was the truth.She was by every chance connected to Zavier Cross.I listened as she talked about how he had been thinking about me being missing.There was only one thing I could bring out of all of this and that was the fact that I would be saved at the end.I tossed on my bed that night, as the thought of getting out of this shit hole of a place filled my mind.The entire thought of it filled my mind even more than the thou
ZAVIER POV "Girl…girl!" My voice called quietly.I could hear the sound of my voice in the silence, reaching my ear in echoes as my voice came back to me.Her eyes fluttered but she still wouldn't open, my hands came to her temple as I pressed it against it to feel the heat that might be coming from her."She is burning," I said to Bianca who was still standing and wondering what all of this was all about.I was still confused, as I was still unable to comprehend everything that was happening around me at the moment.Why had she pointed to her? I thought to myself standing there akimbo looking down at the face of the young woman.I couldn't help thinking they had a connection, as Bianca was looking uneasy all through the while that she lay on the ground unconscious."This is the second time she is doing this," I muttered as I lifted her clear off the ground and placed her on the couch again."Do you know her?" I turned to Bianca, expecting that she'd have an answer to everything tha
RAINIAnxiety.Fear.Frustration…I could feel every bit of those emotions and many more that were anonymous and unknown in my heart travel through my nerves at the speed of light.As much as I was trying all my best to avoid the pressure from sipping into the crevices of my soul, it looked as though I was doing a very bad job at that.Oh, damn…why is she taking this long.I thought to myself as I walked away from where I had been seating my ass for the past minute.For a while, I wished I Was not in this hole or cell…I looked around —Or whatever it was called.Cenching my fist as I continue stomping my feet away asmy heart raced at the speed of light.I had been sitting here for three fucking hours and each time I kept wondering when she would just pop up.Deep down in my mind was fear, and deeper was a lot of questions left unanswered — How was he faring without me.The room seemed cold, though it had no windows and I had spent most if not all of the past hour just walking around a
RAINI POV"What are you doing here?" I asked.His eyes stayed glued on me and I could tell what he wanted—It was hard for me not to tell it out as it was so glaring in his eyes.I could see every bit of the lust that was therein.What made it better was the fact that I was expecting everything, I had expected that he would approach me.It had been so easy doing that at the same time, as I had felt my resilience all this while would make things difficult for me.He didn't reply to whatever I had said, instead he made his way toward me.Despite being a way to lure him into my corner my heart still skipped every single bit, it was as though his presence alone had every bit of emotions intertwined in it.He stopped only when he was so close to where I was completely taking over my space.As he did it was forced to take a few steps back to the wall instinctively and unconscious of my surroundings.I bumped into the wall and there was no way for me to escape anymore.He took advantage of th
RAINI POVFear!The one thing that could devour anyone's mind at that point in time, from a focal point of view he had every right to be angry.He had just caught me trying to steal his card and anyone at that moment would be totally enraged.It was hard remembering the last time anyone had ever hit me, but at the last minute this man had hit me twice and more slap's seemed imminent.My mind flickered on the worst that could happen as I laid on the ground where I had fallen.One hand was reaching to the part that was still stung with pain…too much pain that it was traveling down my mind in a space of seconds ."What were you thinking?" He asked with a menace look on his face.I could barely bring myself to say a word so I shook my head instead.The last thing I wanted at that moment was having him make noise about all of this.Of course he wouldn't, as he would be inviting attention to himself at that moment, I was certain he wouldn't want that—who knows?The sudden realization of tha
