Richie“What’re you doing here grandfather?” He asked again, sounding a little incredulous and piqued at the same time but there was no way he would raise his voice at Philip.Philip was his nemesis. His Achilles heel and the only person… well asides Kate…that he could never imagine himself saying no to,He stared at the man who looked out of place in his Armani three piece suit, Louis Vuitton shoes, slicked back hair and piercing eyes and wondered why he had decided to overdress this way to a hospital.The only inexpensive looking thing on Grandfather Phillip was the lunch box clasped in his hands..“Are you deaf now too, son?” Grandfather Philip replied with equal fierceness as he stared back down as Richie. Richie backed away just when the stare was becoming too intense.“No.” “…I just told you, I brought you lunch.” Grandfather Phillip replied whilst raising the large box so high in the air until it was way above his head.Richie’s frustration grew as he stared at his grandfather
Chapter 70AshleyAshley felt restless and she couldn’t quite place a reason for her restlessness. Deciding not to sit around aimlessly while the boredom ate into her like termites would to wood, she decided to take a walk around the house.With a bottle of liquor in her hands and a dagger in the other, she pranced about the house until she got to the picture gallery.This part of the house was the most serene… and the most beautiful as well. She admired each portrait, running her fingers deftly over each and every one as she went until she stopped at one.It was a painting which was depicting a picture of Luxander. The picture which had been a gift from him and which she had hated with intense passion stared back at her as she stared at it.“Ugly, ugly burnt out carrot!” She chanted, tapping on the surface of the portrait.For a minute, she wished she could rip out his eyes from the portrait and that it would really happen in real life too. She hated him that much.She stared pointe
CHAPTER 71KateThe loud music blasted around the place, but most of all, it sounded too close to Kate’s head, it made her want to cry or as a headache was fast brewing.She didn’t mind the headache though, for she knew that Gordon didn't care if she was ailing or dying, as long as she brought good money to the table; at least that was what he said to her.A man she walked past spiked her attention because for some odd reason, he just bore too much resemblance with Richie. Their resemblance was so uncanny that it made her pause and stare.She missed him. She knew that, even though she was unwilling to be caught saying something like that.Her mind wandered into, and suddenly she remembered that night she had been ordered for a private dance, the night Gordon had threatened her simply because she complained about being too tired to want to continue dancing,… the night someone had ordered for her but never came even until she slept off.The memory brought a sudden chill down the length
CHAPTER 72KateBeautiful images popped around her but whenever she tried to touch any, it dissolved into nothingness, like a smoke. The only difference was the fact that they left golden specks in their trail, causing the air around her to be filled with beautiful gold dust.She smiled, realizing that this must be a dream but her happiness didn’t last long for almost immediately, she got startled when someone yanked the sheets off her body, exposing her naked flesh to the biting cold of the morning.“What the hell?!” She snapped angrily, looking around the room only to find out that the intruder was Ashley. “What was that for?!” She seethed, staring Ashley down with hateful eyes.Instead of answering her questions, Ashley instead dumped some pieces of new clothing on Kate’s body and commanded;“Wear those but go have your bath first!” She replied nonchalantly, whilst ignoring Kate’s hateful glares.Her cockiness seemed to anger Kate to no end and as soon as Ashley commanded her, she
Kate’s heart leapt with joy… so much joy, and her soul was so happy that she almost cried out because again, some set girls in the club here had been sold out again but not her.They’d been sold out like pieces of antiques for mouthwatering prices in order to be used again by their new bosses in order to regenerate the amount of money they had been bought with… and even more.This was the second time this week that this was happening. The second time they were selling a lot of girls off to bring in new ones; The second time that she began to feel like Ashley really had her back but no matter how much she thought of it, she couldn't help but think that this could be Gordon’s doing.That motherfucker would do anything to leave her at his club due to the kind of money she regenerates every time she stepped on that goddamn dance floor, and due to his greed, there was no way he was going to sell off his asset for some amount of money,Kate watched him from where she stood, watched how he g
Her sleep was plagued with nightmares. Terrible nightmares where she saw herself covered in a puddle of blood… a blood that wasn’t hers and to worsen matters, she could see a corpse in the distance, a corpse that strangely looks too much like Richie’s.This got her all shaken up and it only got worse for as soon as her eyes sprung open, she noticed with alarm that she was in an unfamiliar room, on an unfamiliar bed, and that there was nobody in sight.She sat up quickly, glancing about the room and after several seconds of taking in the entire place, she sighed when she figured out that it was a hospital room.“But what happened to me?” She thought to herself.She could remember that the last time she was awake, she had been with Richie who had injected her with something that had rendered her immobile, and then there was Ashley who had sought out means for them to escape.Then what the hell had happened to make her be in a hospital room and where the hell was Richie as well?She was
Chapter 75KateKate gasped in awe, her heart was filled with so much joy, and with it came the feeling of fulfillment that she had always craved for all her life… the feeling of serenity and peace at last.She hugged herself, the smile tugging at her lips refused to falter as she stared at Richie’s handsome face.This was unbelievable! Marvelously so!She couldn’t believe how long had passed during this short time and how it has suddenly become months that Richie has been hospitalized… and now, he is fine!Fine at last, and fine enough to come home.As they strutted out of the hospital, walking side by side, all Kate could think about was finally having a normal life. The thought made her shiver with excitement as she couldn’t wait to begin to live the kind of life that she has always dreamed of…the type that had always kept her awake, crying and wishing that a miracle would occur.And now, a miracle did occur. The fact that Gordon had died had made her feel sad for a brief moment bu
Kate flexed her muscles as she sat up in bed but winced when she felt the slightly throbbing pain between her thighs.A wanton smile made its way to her lips as she remembered the night of fiery passion she’d shared with Richie and the smile remained when she looked down at her now naked body.As if waking up naked wasn’t enough to start the morning, Richie who had been lying fast asleep beside her rolled over to drape his arm around her waist to pull her close.“Can we do this over and over again… starting from now?” He whispered to her who in turn smacked his arm around her waist playfully.“No way!” She exclaimed with a smile on her lips, “what are you? A horse?…you demand for it too much that I fear you’re going to exhaust me real soon.” She cried.Her half baked complaints fell on deaf ears as he ignored them and pulled her close until all they could feel was the scorching heat radiating off their naked bodies.Richie kissed her slowly, he took his time with it and made sure his
