CHAPTER 1
After cûmming for the third time, I was loosing my senses.
"STOP! No, Stop please! I can't take it anymore. No.. Please"
He kept thrusting ruthlessly as he groaned claiming my body.
I begged between crying
"Justin.....please...leave me..."

🤍 ALEXA 🤍
"Alexa,can you pass me those cans?"My colleague shouted from the other corner of store
MEET ME!
I am Alexa!
I am a simple girl who lives with my mother. My father is late and I work at a store as a waitress.
It's the least job I can find instead of just wasting my time sitting lazily at home.
I love my Job very much. It's less stressful and of course entertaining.
I get to see different faces everyday.
Different Faces with different tastes.
"Okay, okay! I can hear you clearly so stop shouting Mitchell!", I replied with a giggle.
*AFTER ONE HOUR*
Mitchell came with a broom in her hands.
"All finished Alexa and we are the last people remaining again" Mitchell said.
"Yep. I guess we are just like always." I shrugged my shoulders.
But just then we heard some foot steps.
I turned to see a very handsome tall man of about 6ft
"Hello." He said as he took calm steps towards me as he placed some things on the desk which were duct tape, rope, knife and a can of coke.
"Hello, seems like you are going to murder someone?", I asked in a friendly teasing tone.
"Maybe darling...", He stated in a deep voice.
I chuckled and started scanning.
"You are beautiful." He complimented.
"Thank you and you aren't looking bad yourself either."
He smirked.
"I love your voice."
"Hmm..."
This city is really weird and is filled with weird people.
"That will be a bill of about...ughm....6 dollars" I said while glancing at him.
He was still staring at me even after I told him his bill.
"Do you need anything else sir?' I asked.
"Yes..you...",he calmly stated.
I get this a lot.
I'm used to it already.
Customers always finding way to get into my panties.
At first, I do get angry but Mitchell told me its no big deal and I should just over look it, ignore them and continue my business.
That is if I am not interested.
Though it was the middle of the night but I was not expecting him to be desperate.
"You look familiar. Did we go to the same college?" He asked, perhaps noticing my facial expression.
"You look rich and I didn't ever go to a rich college. You are probably mistaking me for someone else."
"Ughmmm....sure. Do you have a boyfriend? I mean..."
He seemed like a really rich decent guy at first.
"Thank you for coming. Money please" I said trying to control my anger.
He smirked placing a 100 dollar note at the desk.
I quickly turned around to give him his change before realizing he was gone.
"Hmmm? Where was he gone to?" I wondered.
If he doesn't comes back tomorrow for his change, I will as well keep this money in my Piggy bank.
Customers tends to forget their change and come back for it the following day.
But I don't think he will mind if I took his change.
Come on, don't judge me.
He looks rich.
I mean filthy rich.
I don't think he will mind if I took the remaining balance for real.
Mitchell came out with a bag hanging on her shoulders as I came out from my trance on what to do with the change.
"Alexa Let's go"she stated.
She closed the windows while I switched off the lights and moved aside for her to lock the marts.
"So that's how Ricky and I went to the concert... Oh Aww, we have to go to separate ways from here", Mitchell pouted as she realized .
"Yeah. Smile my chatter box! We will meet tomorrow. Byee", I waved my hand walking staring at the moon.
I walked home happily thinking of how my day went and how I planned to enjoy my sleep tonight.
Just go home.
Shower.
Eat.
And sleep!
"Please don't do this."
My feet stopped automatically at the muffled scream.
I am not a brave girl but looks like someone needed help.
"Shut up!" Someone roared.
I tried to listen standing there when I heard another voice like someone was hitting something.
THAT WAS THE MOMENT I REGRETTED.
My sixth sense was telling me not to go but my curiosity was pushing me to find out what the voices were all about.
I took careful steps towards an old warehouse as I followed the voices.
I peeped inside the half opened door only to find a man brutally hitting someone tied up on a chair.
Just then another shadow appeared.
"I wish you could go back and tell about what could happen when you betray me...Tch Tch Tch"
Bang!
HE SHOT THE MAN.
I gasped stepping backward.
I mistakenly hit an empty tin and that caused a noise. He probably sensed my presence and turned around.
IT WAS THE SAME GUY FROM THE MART.
The change guy.
The rich dude.
The guy I asked if he wanted to commit murder.
Yes, him!
I sprinted and ran as fast as I could.
I was running out of breath.
I turned to see if anyone was following but there was no one behind me.
I took a deep breath as I tried to calm my heart.
I guess they didn't notice me.
Good for me!
Breath.
Alexa Breath.
Don't let mom know.
She will be worried as hell.
I composed my self as I rang the door bell.
My house was only 10-15 steps.
I took long steps and rung the bell.
Soon my mother's face appeared as she opened the door smiling but as I know already, she will definitely find out that I'm not alright.
She frowned making her forehead wrinkled.
"Alexa! Are you okay sweetheart?"
That's question number one.
She will ask me dozens of questions today.
" Why are you sweating this much? Why are you breathing this heavy?"
I sighed knowing I have been busted.
"Oh...ummm mom it's hot out there and emmm.. arr.. I was running actually so yeah.. " I tried my best to come up with an excuse.
"Why were you running child?", my mom raised an brow.
"We... we were competing I suppose. Mom!! I am back from work. Are you planning to keep me at the door all night?" I pouted trying as much as possible to change the topic and divert those her questions.
"Oh I am sorry my child... Let's get inside... I made pasta for you" She smiled as I smiled getting inside.

JUSTIN P.O.V
"Why did you let her go Justin?" My friend, Manuel asked.
Yeah.
I saw her.
The girl at the mart.
She looked terrified.
Manuel wanted to chase after her but I signalled him to let her go.
She won't be a problem, that I know.
"Don't worry dude, " I smirked.
"Just let her be. She won't be a problem, that I can assure you"
Manuel gave me a puzzled look before nodding.
"If you say so. I will just clean up this mess before the cops comes. "
"Sure."
I threw away the gun and walked out of the warehouse as I got in my Lamborghini.
Dad, I guess it's time to get you one of your wishes. I thought as I smiled devilishly.
"Where to sir?" My chauffeur asked as I entered the car.
"My dad house."
"Okay sir."
My dad is one of the richest man here in California.
He has lot of estates, business, companies, investment and a whole lot than you can imagine.
Let me burst your bubbles?
I am the only son.
Meaning, I am the only one who will inherit his properties when he pass away.
Yet, I still have a name for myself.
I am Justin Crowder.
The youngest billionaire in America.
California Hottest playboy.
I am the mafia leader of BLACK DIAMONDS.
A rich tycoon.
A brilliant gambler.
Owner of so many casinos.
And a ruthless playboy.
"Sir, we are here." The chauffeur informed me.
The door was opened out for me as I stepped out breathing in cool air.
My dad sure have good taste.
The floor was tiled in Gold.
The mansion is the biggest and largest in the city.
I was greeted by the guards and I just responded by nodding.
I am not here for greetings today.
I walked away, getting into my dad bedroom, I looked at him smiling.
"Heard you were sick old, man?" I asked.
He sat up, looking at me with those admiring eyes.
"I know you have taken over but not officially, so yet I am the CEO, don't just make decisions about my company without me " he answered.
I chuckled.
"Sure dad, but you are old now. Take rest"
"I am not that old yet young man. If you think I was old, you would have given me grandchildren by now, Justin."
"Dad, are you really sick?" I asked as I looked at him carefully.
Our family doctor called me two days ago telling me my dad was ill, well this isn't the first time he has told me about him being sick this month.
"When are you getting a wife ?" My dad asked.
I chuckled.
I knew it!
This was just another lie of his.
He isn't sick. He just wants to see me.
I'm really busy to come see this man.
"Soon dad. Infact, I have found a wife."
"Really?" My dad asked suspiciously.
"Yes. "
"Justin, if you are lying again, I ..."
"No dad. I have really found the girl I want to marry and I will let you meet her very soon. I am serious." I stated.
I had once promise him like this in the past and I fail in introducing them to him.
Truth is, I didn't want to get married.
I didn't want to get tied to a particular woman.
And getting a wife will only make me weak.
But right now, after I saw her....
My view about marriage changed.
I want her with me!
" Okay! This is the last time I am trusting you son. I won't give you your inheritance unless you get married." My dad clearly stated.
Not like I actually need his properties.
I sighed.
"I know dad! "
I should have her.
I will have her, no matter the cost!
**********
I was taking sip of wine can when manuel barged in.
"Here is all the information you wanted", He threw the file at me.
I caught it while drinking.
"It has all the information, From her birth certificate to her recent CV. All the likes and dislikes."
I nodded as I opened the file.
"But dude, what If she doesn't accept your proposal?" Manuel asked as he crossed his arm leaning on the door of my office.
"she will... She will be giving herself to me on her own", I smirked while turning the pages.
"Ah! You devil ! " He laughed as he closed the door leaving.
I took her picture as I kept staring at it for few moments.
My eyes averted towards my bed as I smirked.
"Soon you will be lying right here...right under me... begging and trembling" I smiled evilly as I took a sip from the can I bought from her mart.
ALEXA'S P.O.V
Someone put their hand on my shoulder as I jolted badly.
"Woah you scared me Mitchell", I placed a hand on my thumping heart.
"And you scared me too! Gosh! Girl I came to tell you that I will take a half day leave but you didn't receive my calls. it seems like you need it more than me. Are you Okay?" She asked, looking at me concerned.
"That is because you always leap like a tiger. I am perfect as always" I made an okay sign as I winked at her.
"Huff! Thanks God. I am going on a date with my baby today. I am so excited" she was almost jumping.
Should I tell her that I witnessed a death scene last night?
I CANNOT TELL HER.
She will be worried and I CANNOT MAKE HER WORRY.
"Bye Mitchell", I waved at her as she waved back kissing Ricky going out with him.
I got back to work and got a lot of customers that I attended to which totally made me forgot about what happened.
"Check...check..checkk... anddddd ccheck", I cheerfully sang as I looked at my watch.
Time to go home.
I walk into the changing room humming a song but I stopped in my tracks when I saw him.
"Hello Alexa! we meet again", he spoke in a husky voice as he walked towards me.
I took steps back until I hit the locker behind me.
"What are you doing here?"
"Doing here? What do people do in the mall?" He smirked.
I should try to compose myself.
"Okay. What do you want? I can help...."
He walked until he caged me in his arms.
"I saw you last night. You killed him...I..."
"Shhhh... You have such a beautiful voice....I would love to hear it... in a different way" he said in his deep voice which made me shudder.
"W..what do....you...you want from me?", I asked shakily.
"What.Do.I.Want.From.you?", he repeated my words.
"I suppose I gave you your answer already lovely Alexa".
HOW DOES HE EVEN KNOW MY NAME?
I could feel his stare on me but I was paralyzed keeping my stare fixed on the floor.
He scares me.
He leaned forward as he whispered in my ear.
"YOU! I WANT YOU "
I wanted to protest but my mouth was dry.
"Do you want to kill me because I saw you last night? I promise I won't tell anyone what I saw. Just let me be...please."
My brain was not working and all I could do was to plead with him.
TBC
Alexa's P.O.V
He snapped his fingers making me jump out of my trance.
"Wh..what d..do you mean?" I asked as I kept looking down.
He held my chin as he lifted it making me look into his eyes.
His eyes were magical but so dark.
He was staring at my eyes so intently that I felt naked under his gaze.
"I want to marry you" he confessed.
"WHAT?"
"Yes! Marry me", he said it so casually like it was nothing.
HOW CAN A MURDERER LIKE HIM ASK ME TO MARRY HIM?
He sensed my answer.
"I am expecting a yes .. OR..." he left the sentence unfinished as he smirked.
He stared at me from head to toe me as he stepped back walking out of the room casually.
I sat on the floor shocked and terrified.
What does he meant by that?
Without wasting a second, I quickly grabbed my bag running out of the store.
I walked so briskly home, with fear in my body.
He could be following me.
What if he kills me?
Since yesterday everything have been going wrong for me.
Just why?
I wished I didn't follow the voice last night.
I wish I wasn't curious, just maybe I wouldn't have been in this mess I am in right now.
Maybe he won't be taunting me like he did few minutes ago.
Thank God mum wasn't home when I got home.
I couldn't sleep when I got home.
I couldn't even eat.
I threw the food mum had cooked and dished out for me to eat.
I threw it outside tge house so she wouldn't find out and ask me questions.
The least I wanted is to make her worried.
How can I sleep?
Why did he want to marry me?
He is joking right?
You can't just meet someone today and the next day you propose marriage to them!
The hell!
I don't even know me.
I'm sure he doesn't even know much about me too.
"Brrr Brr" my phonr rang.
It was from an unknown number....
011-850-396-274.
Who could it be?
I picked it up.
"Hello?" I said as I swallowed my spit.
"Mmmm, you couldn't sleep love?
Its him!
I could recognize his voice.
His deep soft voice.
"Please I would never tell anyone about anything!" I pleaded.
"ssshh shhh Don't cry love! You need to save these tears for the time when you will be with me.... IN MY BED", he replied.
Shivers ran down my spine at the though of it.
"No! I won't marry a murderer!", I gathered my courage.
"Alexa, Alexa, How innocent you are! You are not marrying a murderer darling! You are marrying a ..MAFIA!"
I dropped the phone shaking my head in horror.
"No! No! this can't be true! Is he a Mafia?"
I hugged my knees sobbing.
Just then a text message notification came in.
011-850-396-274.
[Your count down has begun tick tock tick tock]
I threw my phone away covering my self with a blanket.
I'm scared.
I'm terrified.
I feel like he is here.
Like he is hunting me.
I'm his prey and he is the hunter.
JUSTIN'S P.O.V
"...that's all about her mother" my friend,Manuel, read out Alexa's mother information out to me.
"Okay?" I hummed.
"No criminal cases,doesn't owe any debt, never been arrested or in any kind of scandal." He continued.
"That's good. Pretty interesting. More reasons for me to have her daughter."
"What is about her mother dude? Looks like you are in a hurry Justin!", Manuel smirked.
"Aah, I am not in a hurry buddy! I'm desperate now", I closed my eyes imagining her lips.
"Then why do you want to take her mother? The same way you want to take her mother, is the same way you can have her. Just bring her here instead!"
"I will! But let me play with my kitten first", I said keeping my eyes closed.
IT TURNS ME ON WHEN SHE IS SCARED OF ME.
ALEXA'S P.O.V
"Alexa, Why are you still sleeping?", My mom came in the room trying to wake me up.
"Oh Lord! You have a fever!", she quickly touched my forehead getting anxious.
Since childhood, whenever I get scared of something or someone, I get high fever and I was badly scared of him.
I'm scared of what he might do to me.
If he can kill someone, definitely he would kill me if he has the chance.
" baby, are you alright. You have a fever. I won't let you go to work in this state." My mum said panicking.
I tried to sit up to calm her down.
"Mum, I'm fine. I'm just tired. I won't go to work today. I will just rest at home and before you know it, my temperature will be back to normal." I said trying to smile.
She looked at me for a while, like she was trying to read me.
"Are you sure? We can just go to the doc...."
"I'm fine mom. I'm really fine. Don't worry."
"Alright darling. I believe you." She sighed, before she left my room.
Sighs.
That wasn't hard.
I laid back on my bed, trying to get him away from my mind.
I picked up my phone and login to my Facebook to see if I can see anything that can make me laugh or at least smile.
After some few minutes of scrolling through my newsfeed and replying few chats, my door was jolted open.
Who the hell enters my room without knocking!!
Of course, its mom.
She never knock before entering.
Well, that only happens the days I don't lock my room door.
Hahaha.
I really love my privacy sometimes.
"I am heading to the market baby, I have to buy some fresh chicken to make you chicken soup. " My mother said wearing her coat properly.
"Okay, mum. Take care. " I said as she gave me peck on my forehead.
"Call me if you need anything. I won't be long. I love you baby."
"I love you too."
And off she went.
I went back to what I was doing before.
Yeah, I was facebooking.
I checked my message box to see few texts from Mitchell.
>>>>Hey girl, your mom called earlier. How are you feeling now ?
Lol.
Mum already informed her so quick.
I hope she haven't announced it to the world.
>>>>> I just have a fever. I will get better, don't worry.
>>>>>fever? Really?
She sent the text with a doubting emoji.
>>>yeah, you don't think its fever.
>>>yeah. You might be pregnant.
Damn! This girl eh.
>>>I'm not babe. I'm single remember? I don't even have a boyfriend, so how can I be pregnant.
>>>you don't need to have a boyfriend before you get pregnant. You can have a one night stand or..
>>MITCHEL I AIN'T PREGNANT. I JUST HAVE A FEVER!
>>>Okay okay okay. Easy girl. I was just joking. I will come check you after work, alright?"
>>>okay.
>>>take care of the unborn baby.
>>>MITCHELL!
>>>I was just joking. I need to attend to customers.
My phone suddenly rang.
I looked at the caller ID.
Unknown.
But different from the one that called me last night.
I picked it up.
Good morning my love! Did you even sleep?
My hands started trembling.
I could feel him smirking on the phone.
"About what we discuss last night...."
"What about it?" I asked trying to hide the fear in my voice.
"Baby let me help you making a decision fast!", he said calmly.
"Your mother... she is in front of me...", he said in a warning tone.
"What!! What about my mother? Don't do anything to her pleaseeee!", I tried to shout.
"But I want to! How about sending her body to...", he laughed while saying this.
"Take me.. T...Take me! N...Not her! Please! Not my mom! P..Please", I weakly said.
"Good decision love", he cut the call
I started panicking!
I have to see my mom.
I reached out for my jacket briskly walking out of the door.
But just as I opened the main door, I saw something...
