For several minutes, we have been standing here waiting for his security team to check out the area. Whatever the heck that means. I don't even care. I am ready to get my feet back on the ground. I dislike flying. At least I notice that much of myself. The sadness hits me again. I don't know much about myself. I realize my father is the reason that I was taken away and sold, but that's it. Oh, and my name, I know my name thanks to Ghost. It's Aria, I kind of like it. It's a pretty name.Ghost's hand stayed in the same spot, attached to my arm and showing no sign at all of being ready to let me go. He doesn't need to worry. I'm not going to go off screaming onto an island, at least not until it's been checked.I'm not crazy.Or am I?I don't remember.I'm staring out of the nearest window, and all I see are trees, sand, flowers, and water right now. I mean, he is so worried about me running away that he stayed holding my arm. It's not like I can swim miles in the ocean, or drive th
I am holding my head up and following slowly behind Ghost and Roman. The security team that lines the trees has not moved, but that does not stop me from looking back every couple of steps. It is embarrassing having to walk like this and the fact that none of the men even seem mildly upset about the situation. How many women have Ghosts taken? How many have the men seen women walking around the place in nothing but their bra and panties? The questions just keep on forming inside my head, and I can't shake them. Roman is walking directly on the side of me and Ghost keeping his body between his but off to the side. His gun is still drawn in his hand. “What do you think is going to happen?” I scold him and give him a confusing look. I mean, we are on an island. Miles into whichever ocean we are in. Who would even find us here? “As you and Ghost's bodyguard, I need to always be prepared, Miss. Aria.” Roman says softly, without even looking over toward me. He keeps his gaze looking aro
I'm stunned when I step inside. The house is gorgeous. We walk down a long hallway before coming into an open floor plan in the middle. The kitchen and the living room are on the opposite side of each other. I wonder if he decorated this himself.The kitchen has all-black appliances and white marbled counters. The walls were a light cream color, and the floors were dark brown wood.Jesus, everything in here looks like it costs a lot of money.“Who decorated your home? It's nice.” I whispered, thinking that I should keep the peace with Ghost unless I want to see that cold as-ice side of him again.“Mother.” He snapped. “Let's go. I will show you to your room.” He sighed before he walked up the staircase.My room?I am getting my own room.I thought he paid for me to be his sex slave. I did not expect to be given a room.I am so confused.“My room? I thought-” I asked as I followed him up the stairs.The stairs are black, and the railing is painted matte gold.His mother has some expens
About an hour later, I'm laying in my bed completely exhausted and wanting nothing more than to go to sleep, but my mind just wouldn't shut off. I can't believe I am stuck on an island with a man that I do not recognize. I can't believe I was sold and bought to be someone's sex slave.Who does that?Criminals.Ghost must be one. He has to be something for him to have this much money. We are on an island right now, and I can't help but know that the money isn't because he is a surgeon or a lawyer. No, we don't live anywhere close to a population that would require that, so I definitely crossed those two occupations off the list.I can't forget about Rowen. Ghosts bodyguard. Why would Ghost even need a security guard? That question burns so deeply inside my head that I'm starting to get a headache. A gentle knock flowed through my ears, and I realized that someone was knocking at my new bedroom door. That is undoubtedly not Ghost.How do I know that?Because I just felt a man like Ghos
I take in a shuddering breath as I now follow behind the girl who was told to summon me. I'm still wearing the sun dress I put on after my shower, and now I'm thinking that was a mistake. Something tells me that a man like the Ghost will be dressed up in a suit for dinner, and here I am walking towards the dining room in the cheapest sun dress I could find in the closet.I would rather not put on any of that fancy over the top clothing that he purchased for me, or maybe all that was for the woman he said he only slept with. Listen to me, I sound jealous again. I don't know what is happening to me. I don't wish to feel attracted towards that man, but I do and that's precisely what's happening. I despise him for doing this to me, loathe him for paying for me with the intention of using me this way, but also, something deep inside me feels warm when he is around.I know, I sound dumb. I sound ridiculous. I'm not going to fall in love with my kidnapper, I can't. I know little about mys
It's been a week since I saw a Ghost. After that lovely dinner we had a week ago, he dismissed me to my room. I didn't argue about him dismissing me, I was happy to get the fuck away from that man.I went into my bedroom with my head high and slammed the door. Once I slammed that door, did the tears I had been holding back to pour down my face faster than I could wipe them away.I woke up the next morning, made sure I was dressed in something appropriate for breakfast and headed downstairs, going to wait for him just as he ordered me to do. It wasn't that I wanted to do as he ordered me, it was simply for the fact that I didn't wish to anger him more than I had the previous night. He paid millions of dollars to have me as his sex slave, and I'm not exactly in a rush to become what I was bought for. I want to put that off as long as possible. I don't want his body touching mine, and I definitely don't want his cock inside me. I didn't even know whether I was a virgin or not. My memor
I found a half-eaten container of butterscotch chocolate ice cream, wandered around the big kitchen, found a spoon, and was now happily shoving big bites of ice cream into my mouth. It's been a week since Ghost left, and he should come back soon. I don't understand why I allowed myself to get sad at the knowledge of him leaving me behind. It's ridiculous. I shouldn't feel anything but hatred for my kidnapper, and I definitely shouldn't feel jealous of his assistant. I just don't understand why he would pay so much money for me just to leave me behind. The more I thought about it as I shoved yummy chocolate into my mouth, the more I let my mind swirl around the fog that's been clouding my memory. I wish I could remember even the littlest details. While laying in bed the other night, I remembered my middle name was Dawn. Well, I didn't really remember, I just had a feeling. It was the only thing I mind was allowing me to remember right now, and I guess I'll just have to be happy ab
The next morning, my belly is hurting over how much ice cream I ate last night. I don't even remember how long I cried for. I just know it had been well into the night when I finally ran out of ice cream, and that had only caused me to cry more. The emotions rushing through my body were too much for me to take. I knew I was supposed to be downstairs right now, sitting at the dining room table, and waiting like a good girl for Ghost, but fuck him. After what he did to me last night, I'm not in the mood to play sweet obedient sex slave. I'm laying in my bed and bundled up like a burrito, when I suddenly heard my door being swung open. I jerked upwards and when I did, my eyes landed on a very pissed off Ghost storming into my room, a cold snarl already on his lips. “It seeks you have forgotten the rules while I was away, my little slave,” he growled, and walked closer to my bed, causing my pulse to spike. “I didn't forget,” I mumbled and laid back down in my bed, and used the blan
