Freda POV’s
I slowly opened my eyes and blinked, disoriented by the bright sunlight streaming through the window. I sat up and looked around, the room was unfamiliar, and I couldn't remember how she had gotten there, not until I saw my undies on the floor, with my clothes scattered all around.I sighed realizing I was naked, and that was how the event of last night played in my head. I had totally had sex with a stranger.I gathered the duvet around my body and I tried to stand up but I winced painfully and I fell back on the bed. My virginal area hurt like hell, and my legs felt numb.It was hell of an experience last night and I enjoyed every bit of it even if he made me cry. It was just so different from the sex I usually had with Jake.I looked around the room, but he was nowhere to be found. I hurriedly checked the bathroom, the closet, and even under the bed, but he was nowhere to be seen.I felt a stab of fear in her chest, but I suddenly laughed. What was I expecting? It was just sex. Something meant to be forgotten.I walked into the bathroom and turned on the light. My hair was a mess, and my makeup was smudged and smeared. I ran the water and splashed my face, trying to wake myself up and feel more human.[Few minutes later]I sat down on the bed not knowing what to do. The sound of my phone ringing made me jump in fright, I reached for it and I breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Miranda calling. I immediately answered the call.“Where the hell are you! I’ve been here all night searching for you. Why can’t you just listen to me and let go of that good for nothing Jake!” She yelled angrily and I rolled my eyes.“Hey, bestie,” I said, a bit rudely.“You don’t get to dictate my life for me okay? I’ve been too good to an extent that it ruined my relationship. Now I just want to live my life! Can’t you just get that!” I yelled back at her and silence fell between the both of us.“I’m at the bar, at the counter, come meet me there,” She said and she ended the call.I sighed as I dragged my lazy ass up and left the room. I also felt bad for talking to Miranda that way. She’s been nothing but kind to me, but here I was venting my anger on her.Finally I got to the counter and I met her sitting down there alone, wrapping her arms around her body.“I’m sorry,” I said and she slowly looked up.“Let’s go home, it’s been a long night. We both need to rest,” She said and she stood up and left while I trailed behind her. I knew she was angry and I had to find a way to apologize.She boarded a cab and we drove home, but I had this icy feeling that someone was unto us. I noticed a car trailing after us until we got to our destination.I didn’t know if Miranda didn’t notice because she was angry, but I did and I tried to shake this uneasy feeling out.“Talk to me, Bestie. Please don’t keep me quiet, I’m sorry,” I said the moment we got into our room and she heaved.“I’m not angry at you, I’m just mad at myself for caring too much. I mean we're the same age. What gave me the right to act as if I’m older,” She said and I pulled her into my arms.“To me you’re more than a friend, Miranda. Please don’t push me away. I can’t bear to lose you,” I said and she hugged me back, but she suddenly pulled away.“Did you get yourself in any mess last night?” She asked and I shook my head, a faint smile on her face.I was about to tease her when I saw her face then again I decided to come clean.“Nothing serious, just that I had sex with a stranger,” I replied and she frowned.“That’s not it, you can choose to have sex with anyone as long as it’s not Jake. But I’m talking about something rather serious,” She said and I furrowed my eyebrows, seeing how serious she was.“I think we’re in trouble. Someone I’ve been trailing us ever since we left the clubhouse. I thought I was just imagining things not until Tessy texted me that a group of men were asking about you. More like an investigation,” She said and my face dropped.Tessy is actually our neighbor, and if what she said is the truth. Then I’m in a hot mess.“An investigation? I mean I’ve done nothing wrong to anyone. Who could have been monitoring me?” I asked and she tap her foot on the floor and her eyes suddenly dimmed.“How about Jake? He must have been stalking you,” Miranda said and I shook my head.“Jake wouldn’t do that. He doesn’t have to investigate anything about me when he already knows everything,” I replied and she stared at me worriedly.“Who could it be?”“I don’t know!” I hurriedly replied.“We need to be careful,” Miranda said and she began closing all of the windows and I joined her in doing same.“We’re going house hunting tomorrow morning Freda, I can’t risk our safety,” She said and I could tell she was panicking.“It’s all right Miranda, take a deep breathe,” I said and she did as told and I took her to her room, making sure she was put to bed and I went to mine afterwards.My phone suddenly buzzed , and I looked down to see a text from an unknown number. I opened the message, and my eyes widened in shock as I read the words on the screen.“I'm watching you, hope you’re ready to meet me soon?” it said, I felt my hands start to shake, and my pulse quickened. I looked around, but I couldn't see anyone nearby.“Who is this?" I texted back, my fingers trembling as I typed.“You know who I am, little girl,” Came the reply and I flinched.“Holy molly!”Hardin POV’sMafia’s underground hideout…“Freda Huston, 22 years old, parents are both dead,”“She lives alone with her best friend Miranda. Recently broke up with her boyfriend Jake who was cheating on her, that’s all we found about her boss.” The private investigator said and I sighed, irritated by the fact that someone else had already gotten down with her before me.“Jake?” I asked and the private investigator quickly bowed his head. “Jake Williams,”“Hector!” I called and he immediately rushed in, he’s my best aid whenever it comes to missions like this.“I’m here boss,” He replied with a slight bow.“Sit down,” I said and he hurriedly sat down.“He was cheating on her and he broke up? For what reason?” I asked referring to the private investigator.“Umm.. according to the information I gathered after paying the lady he cheated with handsomely, she said Freda wasn’t good on bed that’s why he broke up with her,” He replied and my eyes flashed red. “How dare he!”My anger was boil
Freda POV’sI slowly opened my eyes, and I hissed because of the banging headache I felt. I stared around and I was surprised to be in a strange room, with no idea on where I was.I immediately panicked and I tried to remember what had happened. Then I recalled leaving the my room to get sanitary pads. My memory was hazy, but there was a car, and a man, and then... nothing. The realization hit me like a freight train. I had been kidnapped, and it was none other than the man I met at the clubhouse.My heart was pounding in my chest as I climbed out of the bed and walked towards the door. I reached for the handle, and turned it slowly. My hands were shaking, and I felt like I was going to faint. But when I opened the door, I was surprised to find that it was unlocked. I walked out heading to the hallway, my mind racing. What should I do? Should I run? Should I stay and try to figure out what was going on? I didn't know what to do.I started to run down the hallway, my mind a whirl of p
Freda's POV"I would fuck you mercilessly before shoving a bullet down your throat" Hardin replied almost immediately, looking at me straight in the eyes, and I could see that he wasn't Bluffing. "Just let me and my friend go, and I will forget this ever happened I promise," I said trying to beg my way out of the situation but it seemed as thou it only made him mad as his grip on my hands tightened."I don't think you understand what is going on," he said angrily bringing a gun out of his pocket, I froze at the sight of it as a wave of panic surged through my veins. Is he going to shoot me? I wondered to myself "This is what is going to happen to your friend if you ever think of escaping this place"He brought the gun to my face tracing it gently down to my throat, I shut my eyes close unable to breathe properly, suddenly I heard a loud bang which made me jump in fear.I opened my eyes immediately only to see that he had put a bullet through the door. my heart leaped into my throat,
Freda's POV"He is not that bad Freda, I promise you" Candy replied calmly, how can I believe that the man who kidnapped my best friend and threatened to kill me is not a bad person? "I find that hard to believe candy, I know you work for him and it's okay if you don't want to say anything bad about your boss but we both know that isn't true, Hardin is a monster," I said disagreeing with what she said, I can believe she is trying to whitewash Hardin. "Believe it or not Freda, Hardin is a kind and loving man as far as you obey his rule and don't do anything to offend him" she replied with a smile on her face.I couldn't tell if she was telling the truth or not but either way I didn't want to be here. "Okay," I replied because I didn't know what else to say so I just pulled my clothes and went into the bathroom. "I will leave you to it, and if you need anything just let me know," she said before leaving me alone with my thoughts.As I sank into the soothing warmth of the bathtub, my
Freda's POV“Put these on, little one.” He commanded as he tossed a gown at me. I tilted my head to give him a straight stare as my heart raced faster. I took a deep breath as I took the cloth he threw at me. From the scent of the cloth, I could tell he had just bought them. I looked at the dress and was prompted to ask him why he had asked me to wear his newly bought dress. “May I ask why?” I said in a low voice, and he chuckled dryly, smirking at the end. He took a deep breath as he walked toward me, holding my chin and raising my head to look at him. He looked directly into my eyes as if he were searching for something while he smirked.“We are going out.” He said in a small voice as if he were whispering. I could not help but exhale rapidly as I tried to calm my racing heartbeat down. He let go of my chin and walked towards the door. “Where are you taking me?” I asked in a low tone, and he stopped abruptly, tilting his head to look at me. My heart skipped and bit the moment his
Freda's POVEverything seemed to pause immediately after I realized what I had done. Everyone gasped as they looked at us. Hardin tilted his head to look around the whole place, gesturing to everyone that they could continue their activities, while I lowered my head as I was embarrassed. I heaved a sigh in fear as his words reverberated in my mind. My heart raced faster, and my heart pounded hard as I stood in front of him. My hands trembled gently as fear washed over me.How the hell did I end up with a mafia lord after just a nightstand? I could not get my head around it. He brought out his handkerchief and wiped my mouth with it. I closed my eyes slowly as I could not get his words off my mind. He was a Mafia Lord. I thought. That explains his luxurious and exotic lifestyle. I then understood why he told me he referred to himself as the law, and why he said he could get anything he desired.“Are you okay, little one?” He asked rapidly as he placed a hand on my shoulder, raising his
Freda’s POV I saw at the corner of the room with my leg wrapped around my chest, I couldn't help but feel a whirlwind of emotions swirling within me. The weight of my circumstances bore down on my shoulders, making it hard to breathe. It was as if the walls of my room were closing in on me, suffocating any remnants of the carefree girl I once was.My heart felt heavy, burdened by the weight of the situation I had found myself in. I longed for the freedom I once had, where my choices were my own and I could pursue my dreams without any restrictions. The room seemed to close in on me, amplifying my sense of confinement. It was as if I was trapped in a gilded cage, where my every move was monitored and controlled.I couldn't help but reflect on how my life had taken such a dark turn. I wondered how I had become trapped in a situation where my autonomy was stripped away, where fear became my constant companion. It felt like a cruel twist of fate, a nightmare I couldn't wake up from.As I
Freda’s POV As I entered the restroom, my heart was still racing, my mind filled with a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. I couldn't shake off the feeling of Hardin's touch, the way it made my skin tingle, even though I knew deep down that I didn't want it.I stared at my reflection in the mirror, searching for answers, trying to make sense of the chaos inside me. My eyes, usually filled with confidence, now held a glimmer of confusion and vulnerability. How did I let myself be affected by his touch? Why couldn't I deny the fact that it stirred something within me?A wave of self-doubt crashed over me as I analyzed my reactions. Was I weak for feeling a flicker of pleasure amidst the discomfort? Did it make me complicit in his actions? These questions gnawed at my conscience, tearing at the fabric of my self-worth.“What the fuck Freda” I yelled at my reflection in the mirror, trying to make sense of what just happened.Turning on the faucet, I cupped my hands under the cool water,
