Kimberly:
I had stayed in the room for hours, I had cried and I was running out of patience. I didn’t know what had happened to him or what was happening, the loud noise I was hearing outside went silent the moment I got into this room that looked like a secret hideout. It had a lot of things in there, snacks, water, there were a lot of systems attached to it and all I did was sit at a spot and hope that things were going to be okay with him. I wanted him fine and back.“Kim.” I felt his warm hands on my cheeks, and my eyes opened wide, I had fallen asleep waiting for him, and there he was in front of me, his head was bleeding a little and he looked very weak and tired, I pulled him into a tight hug and I held him tight for a long while.I was shaking and crying, I thought I had lost him. Just having him hold me in his arms reminded me of the times that I needed him to be with me but he wasn’t. All the time I craved to be hugged this way but he wasn’t anywhere to be found, it made me realize how much I missed him and wanted him to be with me badly.“I thought I lost you” Tears ran down my cheeks and my grip around his torso tightened.“Don’t do this to me again, please don't leave me, you're the only one I have, you're the only one that loves me, please. I will die if I lose you.” My entire body quivered.“You’ll never lose me.” He pulled away from me and held onto my face, he caressed my face and wiped my eyes.“I will never leave you. I am yours, Kim.” His eyes paired mine, I saw the way he looked at me like he had always done but this time it was more intense, desire filled his eyes.I pushed my face closer, and we were a second from each other, I could feel his breath fan on my nose, he pulled me even further and he kissed me on my forehead, he wiped my tears with his lips and grabbed my lips in his.I kissed him back with all I had, I encircled my hand on his neck and at the moment all I thought of was how good it felt to have him kiss me, how it felt to be in his arms.He kissed from my lips down to my neck and he slowly started to rain kisses down to my cleavage. I moaned. I wanted more, I wanted to feel more of what I felt.“Kim.” He called my name and I moaned in response, I liked the way he kissed me and I didn’t want him to stop.“I will never hurt you, Kim, I love you too much to hurt you.” He kissed me down to my boobs and he whispered his words, if I wasn’t so close to him, I wouldn’t have heard him.He pulled away from me and kissed me on my lips.“Thank you for coming back.” I held him tight.GodFather pulled me up from the bed“We are leaving here now.”“Now?” I gasped.“I have to protect you by all means.” He rushed his words. He was back to being a bit tense, the atmosphere intensified again and it was I was slowly a grip of myself, my anxiety was back.“Let’s go.” He pulled me out of the room and I followed him like I was his puppet.We got to his car which was also destroyed by bullets and he drove out.The drive was silent, I was having a rethink. I not only kissed my GodFather, but we almost made out.I covered my lips with my palm. What were you thinking Kimberly? I mentally cursed myself, but I did enjoy it.The car was silent, Godfather drove carefully and silently and as I stared at him, watching him give no expression I wondered what had happened, what was he thinking of.He said he needed to protect me, he said he may not come back. Why did he want to protect me, what does he want to protect me from, what are we running from? Why can we not go to the police?“Why can we not go to the police?”I asked, he didn’t turn to me but he replied.“The police cannot help in the case, Kimberly.” I was very tense and anxious again.“Why? What are you hiding? Only people who hide things from the authorities run from them, what are you? Only people who have done bad things run. Why are we running?” I asked.“Sunshine.” He tried to sweet talk me by calling me sunshine which gets into my head but I was not going to let him do that.“Don’t call me that! You’ll not keep things from me if I'm your so-called sunshine.” I yelled at the top of my voice. Ethan hated it when I raised my voice at him. I shouldn’t even do it, he is older than me.He stopped abruptly.“You want to know the reason why I left without telling you, the reason why I stayed away from you, the reason why I am running from this?”“Stop repeating my questions.” I rolled my eyes.“I am a mafia, your father was a mafia too before he died and your life has always been in danger because you are a billionaire and the daughter of a Mafia.”“They are after this spoiled brat billionaire who doesn’t understand that I only want to keep her safe.”“So you kill people and do drugs for a living, you're the reason why a lot of people die? You're a serial killer.”In all the books I had read, serial killers were always sent by some mafia men and the Mafia men were always wicked. As I was thinking it clicked my head.“If they are after me, does it mean that they are the same people that killed my family?” I asked and he nodded.“They want you gone my sunshine and I have protected you all this while, I don’t want them to hurt you. You are all that I have.”Kimberly: The car was silent after he explained to me, I couldn't believe that all of this was happening because they only happened in movies.Ethan is a mafia and my father was also a mafia. I didn't understand all of it and I wanted to sleep at the moment. I had initially thought that we would be going to any of his other houses but he ended up driving to a hotel, all the while, I was shaken at what had happened.We got to the reception and did whatever procedure he had to do.We didn't have any luggage and I wasn't with my phone either, I had left everything in our old mansion.We got up to our different rooms, I freshened up and changed into the clothes Godfather had asked the hotel staff to bring up to my room.When I was done having a cool bath, I laid on the bed and tried so hard to fall asleep but all I got were headaches and flashbacks of a few hours ago.I walked into the hospital room shivering, four bodies laid there.“Ma’am, please identify the bodies.” The nurse i
Kimberly: “But my life is here, my school is here.” I tried explaining to him but I knew that it would be of no use, Ethan hated it when I argued with him.“I know Sunshine but we do not have a choice, you have to leave. This place has become so dangerous, I just want you safe,” he whispered.“But it's prom soon, I still have my last exam, Vanessa would not be happy to hear that I was leaving on such short notice.”“I know.” “So prom? “ “Prom is in a month, I have always wanted prom to be memorable please Ethan. Please.” I added I would roll on the ground and beg him to let me attend prom if that was what he wanted.“After your exam and prom you leave,” he replied.“I leave after grad. It's a day after prom.”“Kimberly,” he called my name softly.“Please.” “Okay, now go to sleep.” Somehow, I was not uncomfortable even after all that had just happened now.Normally, I would argue to the end but today I didn’t, there was no need to. I think I needed a change of environment, a lot
Kimberly: It was dinner time already, and the maid had come to tell me that food was ready but I was not going to leave my room, it would be so annoying to have dinner with Ethan and his girlfriend.I had told the maid to tell Ethan that I was not hungry, hence I wasn't coming out of my room but he insisted and after the second time the maid came to call me I was already frustrated so when she knocked on my door again, I pulled it open forcefully, ready to yell at her but it was Ethan at my door.“Dinner is ready Kim, let's eat.” his voice was calm like he couldn't harm a fly.“Why are you here? I said I didn't want to eat. How hard is it to understand? Why don't you go ahead to eat with your girlfriend.'' I yelled at him.“Is this about Anna?” he asked and I gave him a very hard glare.“No! Why should it be, you know what? It is.” I yelled and he pushed me into my room.“Kim, we are not going to talk about this again, I told you the other day.”“You told me that we shouldn’t do thi
Kimberly:Anna was staying over for a few days, they both needed more time to bond and get closer to each other.I had not slept a wink since I went to bed after dinner yesterday, whenever I tried to sleep, I ended up having a nightmare, I was scared to death and normally I would have gone to talk to Godfather, have warm milk with him and he’d later tuck me back to bed but I couldn’t do that anymore, there was now an invisible border and I had to take note of it. I lay on my bed turning and tossing, yawning and scratching my eyes, the rays of the sun shone directly in my room, I had barely settled in my new room and the attack from the other day had triggered my nightmares, I needed to see my doctor.I got up from my bed, made the bed, and began to get ready for the day. Nessa was coming over and I had convinced her to accompany me to see the doctor. I didn’t want to get worse, I needed my sleep and if I delayed, I might get worse.I looked at myself in the mirror and was unable to r
Kimberly:Vanessa always knew what it meant to have fun while I on the other hand was barely let out of the house and if I wasn’t reading a book then it was watching a movie or I was taking a trip to the doctor.We first had lunch because both of us hadn’t had breakfast today, I picked on my food as the event of yesterday came flashing. Sometimes I resented the fact I had a good memory.“Are you okay?” Vanessa suddenly asked, snapping me back to reality. I let out a loud sigh. I should be soon, I hope.“Don’t tell me you’re thinking about what Doctor George told you. He said you should have fun didn’t he?” I wasn’t thinking of it but this was not fun.“When we start having fun let me know.” I rolled my eyes at her. Why wouldn’t I think about it, was this fun to her?“If you are not thinking about that then what are you thinking about?” she swallowed the food in her mouth and gave me a creepy look.“Are you thinking of Anna?” she urged. I sighed once more, not surprised she guessed cor
Ethan:If I said my mind was at ease when Kim told me she was going to be visiting the doctor then I was lying because the moment she left the house I was restless.I know how her sessions with doctor George used to look like. It was heart racking, I would watch my little sunshine cry in pain, she hardly got any sleep and it caused her to battle with her health. I wanted her better and she eventually did and I dreaded going to the hospital because it only reminds me of the time she was in pain.I hated that this time around, I was the one causing my little girl so much pain and I couldn't do nothing about it. It was these stupid feelings that I wish I could let go off but only grew stronger for her.I feel guilty, I feel bad.The only reason I had Anna come here even when I knew that Kimberly didn’t like her was because I wanted a space between us. I want the feelings gone.The reason why I had left Kimberly for a year, aside from the fact that I wanted her away from the harm tha
Ethan:I was allowed to see Kimberly after I had identified myself as her guardian.Kimberly laid on the bed, she looked so weak and pale, her eyes were closed as she was unconscious from the many seizures she had had earlier.Taking a seat beside her, I took her hand in mind, squeezed it softly then kissed it softly.“What happened to you princess?” I questioned no one in particular.Kimberly used to have recurring seizures when she was smaller, after she found out she had lost her family, she had seizures for a very long time.Her seizures stopped early but the nightmares didn’t.This is the reason why I always want to keep her safe, I knew how bad her health was before it got better and I couldn’t help but feelLike I was the major reason why she was back to battling with her demons.“Princess…” I brushed her hair away from her face. It had been such a long time since I saw her this stressed, pale and tired. I felt like unlocking this new age had caused her nothing but pain.“I’
Kimberly: It came to my realization that the reason why he was with Anna was because of me. It only meant he had known about his feelings for a long time and he was trying to make it stop.We had arrived at my parents house, and just the gate being rolled open caused my heart to ache.The house was still the same, the structures, the way it was the last time I visited.We climbed down the car and it took me a minute to get myself.“Are you fine? Are you sure you want to continue with this?” he asked and I nodded. I wanted to do this, I had finally found out that their death was not an accident.I walked into the house with Godfather by my side, he held me by the waist, firmly and strongly.The same way my mom loved the house, clean and well organized.It's been years since I last came here but I remember how everything was kept, I climbed the stairs and went to my parent's room.The furniture in the house was covered with white big tart.I had already started tearing up just by
