BXBX NOVEL Chapter 103 - I'll Move
Mia stared at the screen of her phone for a few seconds, all color draining from her face, after a few minutes of mental silence, she stood and walked out of the room, not saying a word t Diana. Diana\'s brows creased as she watched her leave;
Did Alex come back for her?
She wondered but she did not ask.
Mia stepped out of the gate and walked down the road, her head turning, checking to know if she was followed, after a few more steps, she saw the black car packed by the road side and her strides narrowed.
Her heart rammed against her chest as she approached the car, a million thoughts going through her mind.
When she reached the car, she hesitated a little before she pulled open the back door and sat in;
She recognized the familiar scent. She didn\'t even need to look to know it was him. Mia sat close to the door, her eyes watching the street lights. Her soul drenched with sorrow. She didn\'t even know who to target her pain to, the man sitting beside her or Alex, who had refused to talk to her.
\'\'Hope you had a good time? \'\'
The man asked, his husky voice resounding in the car. Mia sucked in a deep breath and bit on her lower lip till she tasted the blood on her tongue. She couldn\'t even bring herself to reply this monster, she just wanted him to say what he had to say and then she would be on her way.
Seeing that she wasn\'t going to reply, the man stretched his hand to touch her hair but Mia, sensing his hands approaching; leaned forward, such that he couldn\'t touch her. She could not bear to feel his filthy hands on her again.
The man\'s hand hung on the air and then he pulled it back; his lips thinning in anger; but it seemed that she didn\'t care;
\'\'Alright, since you\'re in a bad mood today, come to the villa tomorrow, I\'ve really missed your body. \'\'
Mia cringed as his words fell into her ears, she shut her eyes instantly trying to hold in the pain, but coupled with what just happened that night, she couldn\'t bear it anymore, tears poured down her eyes.
\'\'I … I can\'t… \'\' She stammered but it was coherent enough for the man beside her to hear; his body tensed at her words but he did not move;
\'\'I can\'t do this anymore. I want my life back; I can\'t continue being your puppet anymore. \'\'
Her emotions took a toll on her making her voice out her pain, she clutched her hands by her side as she held herself back from reaching out to the man and strangling him, knowing it was futile because his butler was sitting in front and would prevent her.
The man was quiet for a few seconds, as he listened to her weep; then he spoke;
\'\'Hmm, the last time I remember, I could end your career and your dreams with the snap of my fingers, and I could shred your life into pieces if I want to. So tell me, little angel, what did you say just now? \'\'
The man asked; his voice as domineering as ever. Mia shook violently when his words reached her ears, for a split second she forgot that he had her trump card in his hands,
For three years she had been his puppet, for three years, he had used her as he wanted because he had something that could ruin her entire life, and because of it, she couldn\'t do a thing.
But she was tired now, wasn\'t it time for him to let her go?, he had used her enough, what more did he want!!
Mia screamed in her head as hot tears poured from her eyes.
She shut her eyes briefly; taking in a deep breath, she replied sadly;
\'\'I\'m sorry, I misspoke, please forgive my stupidity, it would never happen again. \'\' Mia apologized, her head fallen, this was never the kind of life she had envisaged for herself. Never!
The man smiled in the darkness and then raised his hand again to her hair, this time Mia did not move, she shut her eyes and stayed stiff till it was over;
\'\'Now that\'s better. \'\' he said, patting on her hair.
\'\'6pm at the villa, you may leave now. \'\'
Mia sucked in a deep breath and swallowed before she turned to the door and stepped out without a word.
The two men in the car watched the frail body walk limply back to the house; when she was far gone, the man at the back seat spoke;
\'\'What do you think?\'\' he asked, his hands playing with his beards lightly;
His butler waited a moment before he spoke;
\'\'I think it\'s time, Boss. She had lasted way too long, from her words this night, it won\'t be long before she says something and I\'m sure you don\'t want that. \'\'
He explained and the man sitting behind heaved a light sigh;
\'\'You\'re correct. I liked her though, too bad. Let me have my last time with her before you take care of things. \'\'
\'\'Yes, Boss. \'\'
He butler nodded before he started the ignition and drove off.
…
After Tiana and Nicklaus finished biding grandma and grandpa farewell, they left for Nicklaus\' home.
The workers had awaited their arrival because they\'ve been briefed by Ma Lee. Although they weren\'t at all excited that the tyrant had returned, and it was the end of their freedom, they were a little happy that Ma Lee wouldn\'t behave like she owned the house anymore. She was a real pain in the ass!
They all stood outside; their heads bowed a little as they welcomed them.
Nicklaus and Tiana arrived a few minutes past seven. As soon as they stepped out of the car, the guards greeted them and began taking out their luggage.
Nicklaus slid his hands around Tiana\'s waists as they stepped down from the car; her face reddened instantly when she realized that the guards and maids were just in front of them and that they would see, She tried to wriggle away herself from his grip but his hold was strong.
Seeing that he wouldn\'t let her go, she let him be.
\'\'Take all her belongings to my room; she\'ll be staying with me from now on. \'\'
Nicklaus spoke to the maids and all the workers raised their eyes to them as though they had just witnessed as Alien fall from the sky.
Tiana\'s eyes widened and she turned to him in shock, he was gazing down at her, with a little grin as though he had predicted her reaction.
She couldn\'t believe her ears;
Staying… staying with who?!
What the hell is going on!!
Tiana gulped trying to figure out what was happening,
How was she staying in his room now?!
\'\'No, I\'m not staying in your room. \'\' She retorted without thinking;
She was able to bear for two weeks. Two weeks of dressing in the bathroom, of not having her personal space, and now he was saying they were going to be staying like that for a long time?!
Nicklaus thinned his lips and then turned to the maids with a light sigh;
\'\'Alright, if she doesn\'t want to move, I\'ll move then. Take my belongings to her room. \'\'
\'\' \'\'
\'\' \'\'
