Lusting Over Her

ONE

Erskineville, Australia.

It was 8:30 pm on a Saturday, and the street was deserted with very dim streetlights which seemed to view no one's shadow if people were there but everyone had earlier gone to bed. You could hear sparrows and crickets chirping and a cool breeze circulating the city, that's to feel how lonely the street was, but yet the night was still young.

Bill's mansion stood here in the street. The house was in an elevated position, overlooking the town. It had seven large rooms in it and in one of the rooms, Lora stood, staring out of the window as different thoughts ran through her mind. She was an average lady in a pink mini nightie which didn't cover the cleavage of her breasts entirely. Her glossy dark hair was scarcely scattered all over her pretty weary face. Her lips were rosy and perfect for kissing, and her eyes... any other dude, excluding Bill, would stiffen just staring into those ocean eyes she's got.

The room she stood in was large enough to accommodate several people and the colorful lights, allotted beauty to it that anyone would want to die in here.

Lora didn't care about how beautiful the room looked because it inflicted nothing but pain and discomfort in her poor life that she tagged "beautiful hell" She was the only one in the room for now. She knew that she would surrender to Bill as soon as he came into the room and in no time. Not that she wanted it, but it had become her anytime and everyday responsibility, so she didn't dare to rebuff.

How can she make things right? What's the possible way to stop Bill from hurting her? Physically, she was fit but inwardly, she was going through anything worse than hell. She was tied up between Earth and hell, this mansion was her hell on Earth! She cries every single minute of every day that passes by but it seems like it was a huge mistake coming into the world. Why is all this happening to her? Lora was still staring out of the window while all these strange thoughts flowed through her mind. By now, her eyes were already welled up with painful tears.

Lora stared at the moon and stars. She allowed the tears to flow freely to her chin. Then she started wondering why the moon and stars weren't hearing her voice. Or could it be that they are hearing but not listening? Bill had hurt her enough for crying out loud and everything stared at her without doing anything? She had even gone as far as reporting this sexual assault to several stations but as powerful and dangerous as her husband Bill, could be, he contaminated them with bribery, so Lora could do nothing other than accept her fate. If only she knew the world was this cruel, she would have died inside her momma's womb!

Now, she adjusted from staring out of the window to staring at the gigantic mirror that stood there. She saw the image in it and how miserable it appeared. She wondered why a lady as elegant as she would be going through hell. All the years she had lived, she knew no definition of Serenity and once again, she wished she never existed. The worst part of everything was that, she had no parents, no siblings she could complain to... the only one she called family was Paa, an aged man who took care of her right from her childhood. According to Paa, Lora was found lying by the roadside. It was obvious that she was either abandoned by her parents or they were murdered. It was just entangled.

Again, having Paa as a family wasn't the issue, the issue was the fact that Bill restricted her from having any liaison with him since she was married, if not he would skin the old man alive. Nanny Isha was her only comforter. The only one who offers a shoulder for Lora to lean on, sacrificing her time for her even though she is just a nanny.

Soon, Lora felt the need for a chilled glass of water. The thought of contacting nanny Isha through the telephone flickered across her mind but no, the nanny must have slept and she wouldn't want to disturb her regarding her age. Gingerly, she trod out of the room and traipsed along the long corridor that was connected to her room until she got to the kitchen where the fridge stood. Quietly, she opened it, released a chilled bottled water a glass cup from it, poured an adequate amount of water into the glass then gulped it down her throat at once. She exhaled sharply. Thankfully, she was regaining some energy back until she sighted Bill from the garden, through the kitchen window, lighting cigarettes and sipping from a glass of whisky, her heart cut off with a jerk. What frightened her the most was that the devil was already coming in to devour her!

Gingerly and rapidly, she started making her way back to the room before Bill got there because sometimes, he acts like an apparition and if he happened to get there before her, only she knows what would become of her. Yes, that was the beast she called her husband.

Lora was in the room in a jiffy. She paced to and fro as her breath came in short pants. If there was a way to get out of this mess, she would have considered it a long time ago but no one, under his control walked away freely.

"Woman!"

Bill's authoritative tone of voice came from behind that it jerked Lora back to reality. Slowly and frighteningly, she turned to meet the rage in his eyes which almost made her pee.

"What time is it?"

He inquired as he started approaching the nervous-looking lady while she gradually took a few steps backward. He was shirtless, with liquids walking down his body at a pace. The whiff of cigarettes and alcohol oozed out of his body. He got to where Lora was standing, held and looked her through with lustful eyes that she was unable to move an inch.

"It's time I have you on the bed"

He spat, believing she understood what he meant.

"Bill please, don't do this again. I am not feeling strong enough" she cried and he instantly dashed her with a hefty slap which made her stumble.

"You know you can't tell me what to do and what not to do when I urge for your body"

He bent his head on her chest, lowered his lips on her cleavage, and began kissing it. He wasn't in the mood, yet he wanted to be. Lora was putty in Bill's hands that's why she was easily controlled. Bill bites his lower lip as he adores her alluring figure, his fingers running through her body seductively in strokes and supporting it with slow kisses. This was the only time he realized how beautiful Lora was.

"Stop it, you are hurting me"

She confessed and again, Bill hit her and she landed heavily on the bed while he forcefully got on top of her body.

"Lora tell me you're mine"

"I...I am all urs Bill" she cried

"Tell me you can't live without me,"

Bill said, looking at her with lustful eyes.

"I can't..." she sobs "Live without you, Bill"

And in no time, he started making love to her while she cried in pain. When they reached the climax, they lay exhaustedly on the bed trying to catch their breath.

"I love you, Lora"

Lora looked sideways at him, she knew he was lying and Bill blinked twice trying to rephrase his word. Did I just say that to her? Damn, I must be crazy! He thought and straightened from the bed.

"Get dressed and go to sleep" He threw her nightie at her and headed for the bathroom leaving her to sulk alone.

TWO

The alarm clock goes off...

By the sound of this, Lora opened her eyes gently as a ray of morning sunlight reflected on her face through the shutters. Why would Bill open the shutters for the sun to have its way in? She thought. Bill had already left for the office. He usually reports early.

Lora got out of bed and removed the covers subsequently, her legs and waist were aching terribly due to the hard sex from last night as she gasped, leaping out of the room in her nightie. On getting to the living room, she found Bill's workers as well as Nanny Isha, all up for their responsibilities. Nanny Isha was the oldest lady here and was well respected as a mother. She saw how Lora managed to walk and how disorganized she was looking all through as she set the dining table.

"Good morning ma'am!"

The workers greeted uniformly and resumed working as Lora replied by waving.

"Housekeeper?"

"When will Bill quit hurting you, Lora?"

housekeeper Isha asked looking into her eyes. She knew all that had been transpiring between these couples and the everyday pain Lora was going through.

Lora smiled

"What's for breakfast?" She asked as she looked around the dining table trying to ignore Isha's question.

"I'm talking to you Sweetie, don't feign here"

Isha's question struck like an arrow at her in no time, she was misty-eyed and her head went low. Isha's two palms covered Lora's chin as she carefully raised it, she found her already pouring innocent tears.

"Poor dear! come here." Isha took her into her arms and patted her back gently.

"Bill is causing me so much grief housekeeper, what've I done to deserve this? I am tired!" She said in a crying tone.

"I understand"

Isha was almost in tears too. She could feel the pain of a helpless daughter who had been ensnared under the roof of agony and what hurt her most was that she couldn't do anything to help the situation. Lora was a young beautiful lady in her early twenties and she didn't deserve any of these. If Isha tries to confront Bill, he will put an end to her job, so she is careful.

She released Lora from herself.

"Lora dear, you've got to put yourself together so you won't catch ill."

"What other illness is more deadly than this, tell me? There's no cure for it. Every day, every night, Bill hits me like am nothing while I haven't recovered fully from the one he does, referring to me as his sex dull"

She lamented.

"Forgive me if I can't do anything to help but it's all going to fade away, I promise you," Isha assured wearing a worried expression.

"Don't be. I shouldn't involve you in my marital affairs."

"We're family you know, and am as a mother to you. I shall keep trying my best" She smiled "C'mon get dressed and come have breakfast. I have prepared a series of food just for you and I know you would love them."

"That's so sweet of you housekeeper. I will do just that" She smiled mildly and headed for her room still leaping as Isha stared at her retreating.

Bill's Flora company

"Sir, you called?" Bianca, his secretary said.

"Take stock of every piece of flowers at the mart and deliver it as soon as possible. Make it snappy or you're fired!"

Bill ordered his voice to portray authority.

"Yes sir." She said and hastened her pace, shutting the door after Bill.

Bill had been managing the Beauty flower company for the past few years and had been progressive throughout his life. He earned lots of money from this and invested it in his mansion where he employed several workers. He was a foxy and strict guy in his late thirties. The staff never lasted in his company cuz of his character and the ones that were here tried to be careful never to fall victim to his temperament.

In a jiffy, Bianca delivered the stock book to him.

"Was this what I asked you to do?" He yelled looking evilly at her and the stock book.

"Yes sir, I did exactly what you sent me"

"So what are you tryna say, that I am lying?" His temper heightened

"Not that sir, I just..."

"You're fired!"

"Am sorry sir, please don't do this...I don't wanna lose this job" Bianca pleaded, crying.

Bill laughs

"Really? You don't wanna lose your job right?" He got to his feet and began approaching her, she slowly made a few steps backward.

"Yes." She nodded.

"What if I had my way with you, then your job remains," He said stroking her body with his fingers.

"I don't get you, sir," Bianca said in a trembling voice

"What's there you don't get? I wanna sex with you or get fired! The ball's in your court!" He smiled lopsidedly and ridiculously

"Never!" I won't let you have your way with me. You can have your job and swallow it for all I care!" She yelled and pushed him against the wall.

The air gushing out of him was like a rage of fire. No one ever talks back at him. Lora never does talk more of a mere worker! She has got guts!

"Get the fuck outta my company and never show ur face, here again, you understand me?" He yelled " Security!...get her ass outta here, she disgusts!"

Tun tun...

Receptionist picks

"Prepare a new secretary for me first thing tomorrow morning!" He rang off. He couldn't stand the fact that he had been insulted, therefore he ordered his P. A to set the car so he could go home.

His Mansion

Bill packed under the car garage as he alighted from it, he made his way into the mansion ignoring his worker's greeting. He headed straight to his room, Lora wasn't there and this increased his temper even more.

"Lora! Lora!" He barked, taking off his suit.

Lora comes in

"Baby, why are you home so early?" Bill didn't respond "I will get your lunch ready at once," She said and turned to leave, but Bill grabbed her and flung her on the bed, tearing her clothes apart.

"What're you trying to do Bill?"

"What does it look like I want to do? I am horny can't you see that?" He yelled still forcing himself on her body.

"Stop it, Bill, you're hurting me! stop it!!!"

Nanny Isha heard Lora's screaming from the inner room and she shook her head in anguish... 'Not again!'

THREE

Lora sat on the bed looking all messed up in her half-nakedness. Tears and sweat rolled over her body which became slippery and disgusting. She was crying her heart out, pains froze her muscles that she was unable to stand. It was like fire burning between her legs. She had not the faintest idea about what to do, caught between two minds...should she finally commit suicide so she would be free from all these or she should keep enduring? Her heart was shattered.

The door had been opened so that anyone could see through so one of the female workers went in and reached for a gown.

"Am so sorry this had to happen to you, ma'am. Please put this on" The worker felt pity while giving Lora her gown but Lora ignored it.

"Give it, I will take it from here."

It was nanny Isha. She had looked around for Bill and realized that he was out of the mansion to anyone no one cared, so she came in. The worker handed her the gown and left, shutting the door behind them.

"He...he..." Lora couldn't help crying

"It's fine, I am here now." Isha took her into her arms as they both cried out.

His Workers

"Why would he do such a thing to her?"

Said the former.

"Sir Bill is very cruel, if I were madam Lora, I would have placed him behind bars long ago" The latter cursed.

"It's not so easy for her you know, I wish I could help," said the former

"Looks like you wanna lose ur job, tryna get involved, then await Sir Bill's sack letter"

"You're right"

"Shut the fuck and get back to work you both!"

A senior worker yelled from his duty post.

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

Lora was fast asleep. Isha had done a great job by massaging her body, especially the waist, and legs. She found marks on Lora's wrist and discovered that Bill had started tying her up before sexing her so she couldn't defend herself. She had given her her daily medications and had made her sleep while she sat and watched over her. She felt for her.

Isha got up and paced about the large room.

"Bill is never going to stop but something must stop him else he would kill this lady. I need to figure out a way, there must be a way out of this mess. C'mon Isha think of something, will you? Yes!... I finally got a plan, and I knew full well that it would work out. You're so smart Isha, Your grey hair is never for fancy"

She soliloquized and smiled to herself.

Next Day

Bill didn't sleep at home last night, maybe at some bar or somewhere no one cared and Lora seized the opportunity to take more than enough rest in other to heal quickly and resume work the next day. All thanks to Nanny Isha who had always been there for her as a mother, giving her the best treatment she could, if not, what would have become of her? Maybe a lifeless being at that. Well, she had been expecting to become one soon.

She woke up to find Isha sitting and relaxing her head on the bed, she had slept next to her all through the night. She sat abruptly, smiled, and patted Isha's head gently... What a mother! she thought. Isha felt the touch and opened her eyes.

"Madam Lora, you're awake?"

"Yeah."

"Tell me, how do you feel now?"

Lora lifted her hands and legs.

"I feel much stronger than before. Thank you so much Nanny for always being there for me. You've showered me with the love and care of a mother that I have never received for a long time."

"I told you we're family and each time I am with you, I get reminded of my late daughter. I know what she passed through before her demise that's why am trying so hard to always secure you by my side so you won't cross the line" Isha said, wearing a solemn look.

Lora got out of bed and approached the cupboard, where she released some tokens from it and locked it.

"Here's one million dollars, for all the kindness and help you've rendered to me."

"What you're doing right now is an offense to me cuz I ain't doing this just so you could reward me or something. Sir Bill's the only one to settle me for the service I render to him here, so I can't have that money. Keep it."

"Nanny this is my means of showing gratitude and you're the first person I am doing this for."

"It doesn't matter if am first or last. Just return it okay? Thanks"

"You're indeed a wonderful woman" And she took her into her arms.

"It's nothing"

"I should get dressed and leave for work already."

"Work? But you aren't strong enough to work today, so why not extend it to tomorrow? You know I don't want you to get hurt." Isha knitted her brows.

Lora smiled

"No one's getting hurt besides I am fine to work already. Let me have my bath"

"If you insist. I would just set the table for our breakfast and medications. Be careful okay?" She patted her shoulder and made her way out of the room shutting the door before her.

Lora undressed, reached for her towel, and headed straight to the ensuite bathroom which was connected to the room. She hung the towel and carefully entered the bathtub, she gasped as the water touched her bruises. It was hot cuz Isha had made it to be, it was part of her treatment and it revealed all the marks of Bill's bites on her body.

"Auch it hurts! Bill, you're such a beast for hurting me. The heavens will pay you for this." She cursed, almost crying.

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

"Sam get the mug from the kitchen, hurry!" Isha orders Sam, the youngest worker whose duty post was in the kitchen.

"Good morning nanny" Sam didn't hesitate to greet

"Yeah." She half responded and lifted the mug characteristically to see if it was neat.

"Urm...nanny, why are you such in a hast? Are we having a guest?" Sam asked curiously. He had seen how Isha handled the breakfast table.

"Not my dear. Madam Lora is resuming work today after a long time, so am trying to make her hasten up."

"Such great news." He commented, "Is there something I can help you with?"

"Thanks, am fine all by myself. Return to work"

He left and as soon as he was gone, Lora emerged from her room and showed up in the dining looking all dressed up as she sailed in her slightly high heels.

"Good morning Madam Lora"

Workers greeted theavaracteristically

"Whoa! Someone's looking rather beautiful this morning" Isha complimented gazing around her body.

"I'm blushing "

Isha laughs "C'mon breakfast's ready, Sit."

" Spag with cutlets? Nanny has made my favorite

"Enjoy madam" She smiled as she stood and watched Lora eat. Soon she was done she reached for the mouth towel, had her medications, and instantly made her way out of the mansion.

"Take care of yourself, madam"

"Definitely!"

Isha based her bye as well as the workers. Lora got in the back of the black Citroen car while the chauffeur slid under the driving wheel, turned on the ignition, and drove off.

A few minutes later

A white Lexus car drove in and pulled up under the garage. Everyone stood upright as Bill dawdled in, looking like one who had been drinking out his

spirit. He ignored their greetings as usual and went in the direction of Isha. She budged as he approached her.

"Where's my wife? Tell her to meet me in my room." He ordered and turned to leave.

"Sir...madam Lora isn't home now."

"Pardon?" His face was puce with rage

"She has resumed work, sir"

Bill sighed and puckered his lips, he was too tired to talk or advance on anyone just yet. Meanwhile, Isha was satisfied that at least Bill wouldn't pounce his rage on Lora this time.
