As Ella fell asleep on Marcel's shoulder he couldn't help but notice how relaxed it made him feel. His demons which were previously taunting and troubling him had suddenly gone calm like the night windless sea as if they were enjoying the feeling of her so close to them. Or maybe he is the one enjoying it?
"We have gotten to the airport boss." Marcel's guard at the front seat announced to Marcel.
"Should I wake her up?" He further stated his face pointing towards Ella.
"No," Marcel replied rather abruptly.
"I will take care of it." His voice returned back to its calm, collective tone.
Glancing at Ella for some seconds as if he was deciding what to do with her Marcel then gently wrapped his arms around her as he slowly lifted her up from the chair in a bridal style. In this position he carried her to his private jet that was already ready for take off.
All the while Marcel kept stealing glances of Ella's face as he carried her and he couldn't deny how incredibly beautiful and innocent she looked while asleep but something caught his attention and that was her pink, round small lips. It felt so juicy and tempting that suddenly his eyes glow blue and he had a strong desire to taste it.
Go ahead. You know you want it
It was as if the voices in his head had woken up from their slumber and they carved exactly what Marcel wanted. A taste of Ella... However Marcel was able to resist the pull of the voices once more as he laid Ella down on a bed inside the plane and the demons retreated for the meantime waiting for a convenient time to come out again.
"Are you ready to leave, boss?" The pilot came asking.
"Take us home," Marcel replied softly...
★
I opened my eyes to find myself in a flying plane.
Huh? How did I get here??
I took a peep out the window and saw it was bright as day outside and it seemed the plane was descending to the ground as I could see buildings and vehicles. I could even see people walking though they were very tiny like ants.
Hold on a minute. This place looks familiar.
We are in the States! We are home!!
My excitement spread across my face in the form of a smile but just then someone stepped into the chamber. It was a tall handsome man that completely wiped the smile away from my face.
"You are awake?" Marcel asked, his tone sounding rather serious.
"Yes." I answered softly.
"Good. You need to sit and fasten your seatbelt, the plane is about to land," he informed but it sounded more like an order.
I quickly got off the bed and onto the chair that had a seatbelt which I quickly strapped around my waist like I had a gun pointed at my head that was compelling me to do so.
Marcel just stood there watching me like a hawk as if he was ready to discipline me if I did not comply with his orders.
"Won't you also sit?" I asked softly as I knew the impact of the plane landing can be harmful to him even though he appears strong.
"Do not worry about me," he said with a slight smirk.
Moments later the plane landed safely at the airport and Marcel didn't even shake or flinched from the landing. He remained firmly at the spot he stood...
Alighting down from the plane I took in a long, deep breath of the air around me and it smelled like home.
It's surely good to be back home.
I am honestly happy to be back to my home country but my happiness was cut short rather quickly when I saw Marcel's friend Eden at the airport. It seems he is the one that came to pick us up. Seeing his face just made me realize I was a prisoner even in my own country and it brought back bad memories as I remembered all the sexual advances he had made towards me like a cheap, stray dog.
Honestly I felt disgusted by his presence and it reflected on my face as I now wore a frown.
"Brother. I thought you would never return. It felt like an eternity since you were gone," Eden said teasingly to Marcel.
"I will always find my way back to my family," Marcel replied with a smile and both friends embraced in a tight hug.
Just as they were about to disengage from the hug Eden took his eyes to me and I could see that lustful look in them. Like he had been starving to have me and it twisted my stomach.
I honestly don't like him.
"How is Kyle?" Marcel asked, his tone serious.
Is it me or is Marcel actually concerned about Kyle? However I still don't trust him when it comes to the boy's safety. I am still of the believe that the boy can only truly be safe when he is free from the mansion.
Eden let out a sigh. "The young man is fine. The little rascal is never leaving that mansion trust me. You will be the one to have to kick him out yourself." He joked at the end and Marcel smiled briefly.
"We have lots of things to discuss. Lot of things have happened while you were gone. I am talking about business," Eden said, abducting a serious but low tone.
"Then let's get going so you can tell me all about it," Marcel replied.
There were six vehicles that came to pick us home but the three of us, Marcel, Eden and I all rode in one vehicle. A Chevrolet Silverado SUV and the other five served as convoys....
There it is. Marcel's Mansion standing tall and looking proud. It's really a spectacle to behold and normally this would be my dream house but my sad reality is that it has become my prison that I hope to break free from.
"Welcome back home, Senor and I am so happy to see you, Young Miss. Oh how I have missed you." Madam Yesenia said as she welcomed us in.
$he is one person I was truly glad to see
Eden's girlfriend Jane also came to greet us with a face full of smiles. Everyone seemed excited and happy that Marcel was back but I couldn't help but wonder if their smiles are genuine or they are just putting on an act so as to please Marcel so they can be in his good book.
At the back was young Kyle who stood gazing at us and I must confess his appearance has improved drastically for the good since the last time I saw him. He also came to welcome Marcel.
"Welcome back sir," he greeted with a rather formal tone and that caused a little smile to touch Marcel's lips.
"Kyle." Marcel acknowledged his presence and he went ahead to stare at him for some lengthy seconds almost like he was observing his condition.
"You are looking good," he remarked afterwards and Kyle smiled softly.
Marcel went ahead to greet others of his workers who had come to welcome him and then he and Eden went away to a private chamber to discuss...
I was heading up to my room when I heard a whisper of my name coming from the kitchen and when paid attention I saw it was one of the maids who had now become something like a friend, Isabella.
"Ella. Over here," she beaconed to me, maintaining her whispering, cautious tone.
I approached her silently as I could tell she didn't want anyone to see us discuss. I am sure she wanted to tell me something secretive.
"It's good to see you Isabella," I greeted but she really wasn't in the mood for pleasantries.
"Are you still interested in leaving here?" She asked her tone hoarse.
"Of course I am," I replied.
"Well it doesn't seem like that anymore as you are all smiling and laughing with the boss," she said.
"What? When did I do all that?" I expressed my shock.
"Listen. If you are to escape from here it has to be this night," she said with urgency.
"Tonight?"
"Yes tonight. Everything is set. The man outside who is willing to help has waited enough already. I had to persuade him to be patient a little bit longer because you were out of the country but I don't know for how long he will still be willing to help as he is a busy man and has other things to attend to," she said.
"Who really is this man? I would love to know." I said as I found myself suddenly becoming curious about the identity of my supposed savior.
"That's not important. Even I do not know his identity, but what I know is that he is the only one who is willing to help you escape from here. Not many people have the balls to go against Marcel so you should be grateful that he is willing to help," she said and she sounded a bit upset by my questions.
"Don't get me wrong I am grateful it's just that_ You know what? Forget about it. What do I need to do?" I said as I made up my mind to go through with the escape plan without any further questions.
This is what I wanted anyways right? To be free from here.
"I will tell you everything you need to know but not now. I will come to you," she said.
"Wait. Kyle is still part of this escape plan right?" I asked.
"You insist on bringing the boy, right? So Yes." She answered.
"Thank you," I said and with that she departed and I headed up to my room.
Hope everything goes well
