Chapter 1: Waking up beside him
The warm sunlight hit Aliah’s face through the window as she slept soundly. She furrowed her brows as the sunlight fell on her face. Turning around to face the other side,her head hit a hard but warm chest. Not thinking twice,she snuggled into the it,her small hands making it’s way to the man’s bare back.
The man opened his cold, domineering eyes stared at the girl whose hands were wrapped around him. His eyes softened just by looking at her and a smile crept onto his lips. After what seemed like forever,he finally spoke “are you seducing me?”
Aliah’s eyes shot open on it’s own. She threw her hands off him,her eyes widening as she finally processed his words. As she tried to sit up,she felt painful in-between her legs causing her to fall on top of him “aahh” she shrieked. “What is it?” Brandon almost panicked.
“I feel painful” she cried. “Where?” he sat up. “B-between my legs”,she said,her tears that weld up in her eyes falling down. Brandon raised the covers only to discover they were both naked. He quickly covered them again before Aliah could see. “What?” she questioned.
“I don’t think you want to know” he wrapped the covers around them and carried her to the bathroom.
Brandon carefully rubbed Aliah’s soft skin as she laid in the tub motionless. After taking a a bath of both of them, Brandon applied some ointment in-between Aliah’s legs before heading out into the kitchen to prepare breakfast for her.
On his way,he met Camila who also happened to be heading to the kitchen. “Good morning, Brandon” she made an innocent smile. “Good morning” he said coldly and brushed past her like nothing happened just now. She frowned, clenching her fists tightly that her nails dug into her flesh and it immediately started bleeding.
Camila rushed to Irina, Brandon’s mom,who was in the garden with her friends. “Auntie” she said panting. Irina’s eyes darted to look at her. “Oh Camila dear, how are you? Why are you panting so hard?” she asked. “Auntie, you see when I was on my way to the kitchen to get some cold water, I saw B-Brandon in the kitchen making breakfast but Aliah wasn’t there” she reported while feigning innocent.
The women sitting on the couch in the garden started whispering among themselves. “Irina” one of them called and she turned her attention towards her “isn’t your daughter in-law supposed to be the one cooking for her husband?” the woman bluttered out.
Soon everyone started questioning where Aliah was. “Enough” Irina felt a bit humiliated. “Camila” she called. “Yes auntie” she replied. “Go tell Aliah that I need her here and NOW” she emphasized.
‘Knock knock’ Camila knocked. “Who is it?” Aliah asked not wanting to lift a muscle. “It’s me, Camila. Auntie has sent me here to call for you to come to the garden now” Camila smirked already into the fantasy of seeing Aliah humiliated. “Okay” Aliah said and Camila left.
Aliah struggled to get out of bed since the pain was still lingering around. With a twisted face,she opened the bedroom door and headed to the garden.
Brandon made some toast,omlet and black tea for Aliah. He carefully placed them on a tray and set off to their room. Upon entering the room,he found out Aliah wasn’t in the room. “She can’t walk properly. Where could she be?” He rushed out
