(The Unknown)
(Still On Flashback)
Sapphire watched him (Adrian) as he took her to a car which seemed to be waiting for them. He got in first and Sapphire followed next. What followed next was silence as the driver drove away.
“Mom, Dad” She whispered, fighting the urge to tear up again.
She was interrupted when Adrian brought out a pipe and started smoking, the smokes surrounding the car and Sapphire felt like coughing out.
“Don’t tell me you’re not tolerant to smokes?” His deep voice said as she coughed out.
The driver kept watching them from the mirror.
“I-I’m not… Please stop smoking” She stuttered, and he scoffed.
He turned the to other side and kept puffing out smokes from his pipe.
Sapphire swallowed hard, she was going to be a sëx slave to a man she knows nothing about, not even his background. She wanted to ask him but his cold look made her change her mind.

After a thirty minutes drive, the driver pulled up in front of an estate.
“Get down” Adrian’s cold voice said as he came out of the car. He didn’t wait for her to come down fully before walking into the huge house.
Sapphire fidgeted on her clothes as she trailed behind him. She could feel the piercing gaze of the workers on her.
They got inside fully and Adrian was welcomed by a maid (Amy) who took his small bag.
“Welcome home, boss Adrian” Amy smiled and he nodded as started going upstairs.
Sapphire glanced at Amy who looked at in awe as she slowly followed Adrian.
“This will be your room” He gestured, showing her the room that was beside his. Sapphire kept wondering why he was doing all this.
“Why are you doing this?” She blurted, and he chuckled. He tucked his hands in his pocket as he turned to face her. He started leaning in towards her and Sapphire drawed her face backwards.
“You really wanna know why?” He asked and she nodded gently.
“That’s a topic for another day” He replied before brushing past her. She turned quickly as she kept watching him walk out of her sight.
She still finds it hard to trust him.
Three days later**
“Ah! Go easy please!” Sapphire kept screaming at the excruciating pains as Adrian kept th-ru_sting roughly and deeply into her, as if wanting to damage her legs.
Sapphire could see their reflection from the mirror and how he was th-ru_sting into her as tears slipped from her eyes.
She couldn’t believe she loosed her dignity to a total stranger because of the vengeance she was seeking for. If that’s what it takes, then she was ready to go to any extent.
“Ah!”
“d@mn, you’re so Fuçking sweet!” Adrian said rawly as he buried his face in the crook of her neck as Sapphire shook under him.
“Please go slow” She cried out.
“You’re too hot to go easy on, princess” He smirked still th-ru_sting into her. He was so close to c-ming, he pulled out of her before splashing his seeds on her b00bs.
“Lick them” He ordered, and Sapphire opened her mouth and started taking in everything in her mouth.
It tasted sour.
He got down from the bed and started rearranging himself as she sat up, leaning on the headboard.
“How will you help me get my revenge on my parents killers? Do you know who they are?” She asked, trying to catch her breath.
“Not yet, but soon”
“Then I don’t need to keep satisfying your urge when you have no lead!” She snapped bluntly at him.
“Look here, princess. I told you I’ll help you find your parents killers and we had a deal. Do you think I’m not working on it? You’re mine, already!” He snapped back at her and Sapphire snuffed, cleaning her tears.
Adrian scoffed before leaving the room. Sapphire’s legs throbbed as she walked out of the bed with difficulty, going for the bathroom.
At least she needed a cool bath to regain her posture.
She came out soon and dialled Jasmine, her best friend number with the phone Adrian had given her.
“Hello baby” Jasmine replied from the other end. Sapphire could hear from the other end the tiny and silent Mõ@ns.
“Are you doing something, Jasmine? What’s the noise I’m hearing in the background?” She asked, and Jasmine immediately whispered something to someone.
“Oh, that’s nothing” She quickly replied. Sapphire wanted to believe but then the Mõ@ns came again, more louder than the first.
“Jasmine, are you…”
“Gotta hang up now! Will call you soon. Bye!” Jasmine hung up instantly and Sapphire felt surprised.
Since then, she never called her.
One month later, on a Sunday morning, Adrian rushed into the house looking all sweaty. He met Sapphire upstairs in her room just arranging her clothes.
“Adrian” She gasped when she saw him.
“I need you to do something real quick, take this. Don’t give to anyone else till I’m back” He instructed, giving a two nylon of cocaine.
Sapphire who doesn’t know what was inside, collected it innocently.
“Good, I’ll be back” He replied and left her room.
Soon, Sapphire got out and began searching for him but all to no avail. She couldn’t see any single maids around too, not even Amy.
She was about walking out when the police siren became near. Her eyes widened in confusion when she saw five cops rushing to the house.
She wanted to hide but one if them noticed her.
“Hey you!” One of them said and Sapphire stopped on her tracks as she slowly turned to them, raising her hands in surrender.
“Where’s your husband?” One of asked, which looked like he was the senior and she became more confused.
“Husband?”
“We got a information that he’s harbouring illegal drugs in his house, and we’ve come to inspect everywhere! And you’re a suspect” The cop replied, and her eyes widened more.
Realization hit her hard when she remembered Adrian handling something to her but she didn’t check. How stupid of her.
“Officers, I don’t know what you’re talking about m I’m innocent here” She cried out but they played ignorant, inspecting everywhere.
“Search upstairs!” One of them ordered and two cops went upstairs with guns in their hands.
Sapphire kept shivering in fear as tears fell from her eyes. She kept wondering why Adrian hasn’t showed up yet, he promised he’d come back for her or perhaps was this a set up?
“Sir, positive!” One of them shouted from upstairs as they came down with the same nylon bags that Adrian had given to Sapphire.
Sapphire felt like the ground should open up and swallow her at once.
“Ma’am, you’re a culprit. They found this in your room, arrest her!” The senior inspector ordered, and Sapphire pleaded.
“Hear me out! I said I’m innocent! I didn’t do anything wrong!” She cried out as they handcuffed her despite her pleas and they began taking her away.
“I didn’t do anything wrong!!”
“It’s better you remain silent, or anything you say or do will be used against you in the court of law” The inspector replied, and she sniffed.
Two weeks later, different people were seen in the highest court of law as they waited for the person who was going to sentenced to jail today.
Today was the final hearing of the court. People greeted and waited as a cop brought the disheveled Sapphire in. She was looking so unkept with her hair falling on her face as they took her in fully.
Soon, questions were charged at her bit she kept speaking her truth. She didn’t even know what to say as the opposition became strong against her.
No one was there to save her, no one was there to speak for her.
They were about asking their last question again when someone spoke up from the audience. Sapphire turned to see a good looking gentleman with his hands up.
“Will you come forward pls” One of the lawyers said as the man came forward.
Sapphire kept wondering how he knows her or what was his business but to her uttermost surprise, he spoke well of her. He was done and ready to leave when their eyes met and he gave her a smile of encouragement.
Her false cases were read and she was found guilty, there was deadly silence in the courtroom as they awaited the judge final word.
“I hereby sentence her to one year imprisonment for the harbouring of illegal drugs” The judge sentenced and Sapphire broke that instant. She teared up right there as the people began departing after the judge left.
The cops came and started taking her away.
“I’m innocent” She muttered with tears as they kept dragging her. She met the guy who had supported her back in the courtroom outside, he was also staring at her.
“I’m Easton Maxwell. I believe you’re innocent because it appears so to me. I’ll be here to wait for you after you’re out of that hellish place. Okay?” The man called Easton said and Sapphire cried.
“Thank you” She muttered as they finally took her away.
Going to jail for a crime she knows nothing of. The only person she was expecting to help her with her revenge ruined her life, he became her mortal enemy.
••••
“I h@të the fact that I always appear weak in front of that bastard” Sapphire sniffed as she kept staring through the window.
That moment, the door creaked open and Easton came in but she was already in her own world because she died notice him.
“I h@të the fact that I let him touch me anyhow” She muttered again, trying to subdue her tears but they kept trickling in folds.
“Who do you h@të touching you?” Easton’s said as he furrowed his brows. Sapphire flinched and turned to him.
“Oh, Easton! You’re here” She breathed out, walking to hug him but he surprisingly didn’t hug her back.
“Who do you h@të touching you?” He repeated again and Sapphire bit her lips hard as she stepped away from him.
“No one, Easton. That’s no one. You must be tired, I’ll go prepare something for you” She replied, trying to ignore his questions.
“No worries. I’ll just ask Yisabel to help me cook” He replied before walking out.
Sapphire could tell he was mad at her. That’s what he h@tës, he h@tës whenever he asks a question and it’s being ignored.
••••
He was smoking vigorously, the smokes puffing out of his nose and lips wildly. He showed no mercy the pipe he was smoking from.
In the dim room was different pictures of people hanging on the wall. He grabbed a small knife and angled it on someone.
Easton’s picture!
“You’re the next in line, Easton Maxwell” The deep voice said as his lips crept up into a smirk.
Someone came in immediately.
“Boss, someone’s here to see you. He kept insisting to meet you, that he knows you” The person said.
He (unknown) furrowed his brows and frowned as he left the room.
He walked straight out of the building and true to the person who called him, he was standing right there opposite him.
“Long time, no see” The other person said, wearing that handsome hot on his face.
“Jace!” He exclaimed in shock.
“I bet you miss me, yeah?” Jace dropped the bombshell as he smirked, chewing the gum in his mouth sëxily… A dangerous one.
