Chapter 3 THE NIGHT (1)

I'm shaking now, my heart pounding so much that I can barely breathe....

The feelings of him not trusting hurts much more than the pains his family causes me.

I can't help it...I began to cry, clutching my hands around my body while still staring at the man that I gave my all to.. looking at me with a disdainful gaze.

I untie my robe and let it fall to the floor, stripping down until I'm standing naked In front of him. Xavier's eyes widened in surprise.

Not minding if Macy was still there or not I moved closer then straddled him, as I placed his hands on my waist staring directly to his eyes as tears poured out mighty from my eyes.

"I don't mind losing myself to prove a point to you, but the thought of you not trusting me hurts a lot"

he looks at me confusingly, trying to get where I'm getting out.

"You can check if I'm still a virgin, I kept myself for you, you had always wanted us to wait till our wedding night but I don't mind anymore, just so you can trust me"

"I've nothing to do with the pool boy" I said with my lips trembling as I bit unto them to hold myself from cracking down totally.

His face softened as he covered me up with my robe, he had this sorry look on, he clutched me tightly to his chest as his hands wrapped around me possessively.

"I'm sorry" I heard him muttered

I cried on his chest, I love him too much, and I won't let anyone come between us, not even his family

********************************

It's been two days since the incident, and two days of quietness and happiness in my life after a long while.

Xavier has been spending time with me alot, I think to make up for lost time, he had only gone to work today's afternoon. It's 8pm already and I'm waiting for him to get back home so we can have dinner together.

I check the time again, sighing as I keep my gaze transfixed on the door, expecting Xavier to walk in.

The door opened as I jumped up excitedly but my wide smile went back in immediately as Ma Hilda walked in I sigh in defiance, she was on a call.

"Okay bye" was what I heard last as she hung up.

"Isabella, I want you to get me something... I just made an order for some jewelry from my friend Paloma, I want you to go to her store to get them" focusing on her phone.

"Ma...It's already late" checking my wristwatch it's 9pm already

"Can I get them early tomorrow morning?".

She looked at me maliciously, as my chest beat in fear, she is maniac, I always get scared of her.

"You're getting them for me now, and ooh, you are going to trek down there, because I sent the driver on an errand.

I looked at her as if she had grown horns. How do I walk to Madam Paloma's place tonight? It's quite a distance from here.

"Okay she's on her way.. I heard Ma Hilda say as I walked out.

**********************

My legs wobble, I could feel sweat running down my chest. I've been walking down to Madam Paloma place for an hour now. I could have used a taxi but I've no money on me.

I walked for some minutes but a strange feeling crunge to me. I sucked in air, feeling goosebumps and tingles erupt all over my skin, I turned back but saw no one.

I cringe my hand tightly as my palms become sweaty, my chest pounding thunderously, I hasten my pace, I am literally walking–running, adjusting my glasses.

That same feeling as I turned back and saw a rough looking guy drawing close to me, the stench of smoke drawing near emanating from the stranger.

My hands were shaking as I grabbed my phone and called Xavier, it rang for some seconds without him picking it up. I called again but the same thing, till my call was sent to voicemail.

My pants became sweaty, the dark street still loomed around, I picked up the race but stopped abruptly, a faceless man jumped from the aly and stood in my front with a smirk on.

I turned trying to run in the other direction, but there stood this other guy with rough edges and scar on his face. I couldn't catch their faces clearly as I was freaking out.

I was shaking badly, I experienced breathing difficulty,I cried for a savior inwardly, I tried to put on a strong defense.

"Wha..wha..what do you want from me" my voice betrayed me , shaking out, as I took a retreating step.

"She's pretty, I will have fun enjoying her" the one who seemed like the leader of the gang spoke as five of them surrounded me.

" Plea..se take my... phone, just let me be" I whimpered, tears dripped off my eyes as my throat hung with a lump.

The leader walked to me, brow raised with a smug smile on his face, caressing his hand on my face with his brownish teeth wide open.

"Umphh I don't need your money pretty, I will fuck you till you can't walk anymore"

My face creig with disgust, my stomach fumble threatening to gush out, I spat on his face, my face red in anger.

He leaked off the spit on his face as he laughed out maniacally.

"Bring her boys" he said walking off.

The other guys walk to me grabbing my hands firmly.

"Let me go" I yell.. crying out loudly.

One of the guys brought out a handkerchief as he covered my nose with it, the syndative got to me as my eyes got drowsy as I struggled to keep them open but I lost it as darkness finally eloped me.
