Zoe's POV"Regina!" Todd yelled again. "I hope this bitch Is not out whoring around.""You better hope not because I beat your ass right now," The man threatened."Come on, man you said next week," Todd complained. "Only if I get a nice bitch without chlamydia," He reminded. "You said the Rodriguez's mistress was your wife right?""Yeah...""Then where the hell is she?" The man yelled. "Come on man no need to get rough over two hundred bucks." "That can buy you with that much and still get change," he disparaged. "Okay, man," Todd said. "I'll find them,""You said the bitch has a daughter too," "Yeah, two," "I'll get a taste right?" I could tell he was smirking."Anything you want boss."“Teen?““Yeah and a hottie like her mother, a bit flat but she's getting there.““Um… too bad the grass is on the field already.““You into those kinda stuff?“ Todd tried his best to hide the disgust in his voice.““Boys and girls,” the man boasted. “At that age, there is no difference to me.“
Zoe's POV "Wake up, Zoe," She said. I looked at her confused, "What are you talking about?" "Wake up, you are having a nightmare!" Then I opened my eyes but this time I was on Sandra's lap, she was looking down at me with a worried look on her face. I sat up, rubbing the sleep off my eyes and yawning, "What happened?" I asked. "You fell asleep and started..." "Screaming?" "Yeah..." I palmed my face in frustration and groaned. "It is fine, we all have nightmares sometimes." I looked at her. "I must have scared you." "No, I was just a bit worried," She said. But the tension on her forehead begged to differ. "Sorry..." She punched me in the arm. "Don't apologise and just look at the time." She brought her phone to my face so I could see."It is twelve minutes after twelve," I said still not understanding why I had to look at the time. "Happy birthday!" Sandra said cheerfully. Realisation dawned on me and I felt stupid. "Thanks, Sandra," I nervously said. "Don't mention i
Zoe's POVWhat had I done now? What did they want from me? My mind raced with questions. Before I could utter a word, Jennie spoke again. "Get the cake," Another student pushed a trolley that had a two-step cake. The cake was frosted with blood-red icing."Silence!" Jennie commanded. The muttering in the crowd stopped before then she turned to me again. "Zoe..." she called. I did not respond, only stared at her in horror. My mouth quivered in apprehension. Not this again. "Are you deaf?" she yelled. Startled, I murmured. "Yes...?" She creepily tilted her head. "You are not like your mother, are you? You are not a whore.""No.... no...." She smiled at me with no warmth. "That is awesome to hear and that is why I am throwing you this birthday party," Her gleeful voice carried a sarcastic undertone. "Thanks..." I said managing a nervous smile. "No worries, you deserve it," She turned to the crowd of students. "Doesn't she?""Yeah," The student said in unison and began to cackle
Louis' POV I checked my watch to see that I was already late for school. Mom coughed, slightly sitting up in the process. She looked okay but she had been coughing all morning. It looked like she had the onset of a fever. The doctor was running late and still needed to get to school. I could not leave her here until the doctor came. "Mi Amor," Mom said, reaching out a hand to stroke my hair. "I will be okay." I did not answer and just eyed the door anxiously. The past few days had been hell. Mum and father had been screaming at each other none stop and it was taking a toll on her. The bastard was already out and about, not giving a fuck about the wife he had put in this condition. Mum's blue eyes searched mine, trying as always to figure out what was going on in my head. "Mum rest." "I will," She managed to say with a weak smile. "You can go, he will be here so..." Our butler, Hector knocked on the open door to get our attention. He looked worriedly at mum. There was so much war
Minutes before... Louis' POV The elevator door opened with a bing and I stepped out, only to collide with someone. Before he could scurry away I held him by his collar. "Watch where you are going," I hissed in annoyance. What was a kid doing here in the first place? The little boy looked up at me and I recognized him instantly. It was Zoe's younger brother, only now his face was almost the same shade as his hair. He looked scared. Before I could let him go I heard a voice call out. "Hold him, please," I looked at the person and realized it was Sandra, running towards us. I held on to him even though he was squirming. She caught up, knelt and tried to get a hold of him but he remained resistant. "Please, Andrew..." She pleaded with him. "Sorry... "No, you promised it was a surprise birthday party..." He countered, with hurt in his eyes. "...For Ray," He sniffled. "What happened?" The mention of another male from the boy's mouth surged my interest and I could not help but blurt o
Zoe's POV The windows were up but the air conditioner was working its magic. Despite Louis being beside me, driving, I relaxed. After the nurse had administered to me some painkillers, given me an ice pack for my leg and covered up the cuts on my face with bandaids. Louis appeared again and offered to take me home. After a little back and forth, I agreed. If I wanted to be completely honest with myself, I was glad that he had offered because I could not even begin to imagine walking or at least limping back to class after the elite's classroom fiasco. But again, there was tomorrow and Andrew that I had to face when I got home. Our relationship could never be the same after today. And then there was Sandra. To think that I was willing to put myself in harm's way for her sister just to be stabbed in the back was jarring. "Is everything alright?" Louis' voice pulled me out of my reverie. "You are crying." I touched my face to find that in fact, I was. I guess it hurt more than I wa
Louis’ POVI came to her rescue with another towel. Pulling the ruined towel off her lap, I pulled up her skirt to her already reddened thigh. I wiped the soup off. I got her on her feet and discarded her wet skirt and sat her back down. “How much does it hurt?” I asked her. “I am fine, Louis,” She responded. “You screamed,” I countered. “It was a reflex, it didn’t hurt that much.” She maintained. “ Now can I get my skirt back?” It was not only her thigh that had reddened.“No,” I said curtly, picking it up and walking away. I could not bear to see her like that. She was so alluring and I was losing my mind.“No?!” She got up and limped after me. “It is mine for goodness sake.” “It is wet,” I countered.“I am half naked.”God, why did she have to say that? I paused and held myself back from turning around and seeing her like that. “I’ll get you something else to wear,” I walked off. When I came back she was sitting on another couch, she got up as she heard me come from behind her.
Louis POVI tried to be gentle at first but soon I was taking her in like she was air and I had drowning been before. I probed and nibbled at her lips. They were alluringly warm and soft. My mind drifted to thoughts of how many others had had this experience before me. She was not fighting me anymore, she felt numb beneath me probably with surprise. Against every longing that threatened to smother me, I drew back but just enough to rest her forehead on mine. I let go of her hand and held her face. I took in a breath of her and had to force my eyes from rolling back. I could have devoured her. She did not push me away, she let the silence wash over us. I was the first to oust some distance between us but only to be able to look into her eyes. She looked up at me searchingly. For what I suspected was reassurance that I was not just deceiving her. After what I had done to her in the past combined with the incident today, she had every right. I let her find what she was looking for, me
