Meeting My Abductor Again - Chapter 12

I woke up the next morning to find strong arms wrapped around me. Axel was still asleep and I looked at the bed side table, it was 09:00am. It was Saturday morning, I kept wondering if Axel wasn’t late for any meeting.

I was staring at the ceiling, and thinking how my life had changed so drastically in the past month. Its not like anyone would look for me but still how was this fair at all. I was bought out of my thoughts when I felt Axel’s one hand brush my hair.

I turned to him, “aren’t you late for a meeting.” I stammered. “No, I’m the boss.”

“Okay” as I was about to climb out of bed, he pulled me back. “Where do you think you are going?” I stared at him wide eyed “to my room to freshen up.” He chuckled “from now on, you will be sharing with me, so I can monitor that you eat, and sleep well.”

His voice didn’t leave room for arguments, so I just nodded and laid back. “Will you tell me Talia.” I turned towards him as I heard concern in his voice “about what?”

“What happened when we got attacked, what that fucker did to you?”

I swallowed a bit and tears started streaming down my face. I couldn’t control myself. Axel pulled me, and enveloped his arms around me and my head was on his chest. “Its okay, we don’t have to talk about it.”

I could tell he was angry.

I laid in his arms for a while, when he shifted. “I need to shower and get ready.” With that he left and went to the bathroom. It was as if all my sleepiness was catching up to me, I decided to drift off again. I woke up to Axel calling my name.

I woke up and I found food, “You slept for so long Talia, I was getting a bit worried.” He took some grapes and he started feeding me. I wanted to tell him I could do it myself, but he refused.

After eating for a while,

I couldn’t eat anymore.

“I’m full”. Axel gave me a stern look. “Fine, just one more bite.” I reluctantly agreed and took a bite. He looked satisfied, “I have to go take care of something, you can carry on resting.”

After Axel had left, I slept again. When I woke up it was almost night time. I decided to shower and then I went to the closet. It was huge, I saw his shirts, neatly hanged. I walked more and I saw the section were my clothes were.

I took my outfit for tonight and I put it on. It was really revealing, I went back into the room and sat in front of the mirror and put on my makeup. When I was done, I heard the door opening. I stood up, and Axel walked in.

He looked tired, then he looked me over. “Where are you going?” I was surprised “I’m going to go perform for tonight’s event.”

“No you are not.”

Axel didn’t have to tell me twice as I replied “Okay”

“But you can come and observe for tonight, so you can change into something comfortable.”

I nodded and I did as he told me, Axel freshened up and he came out looking really nice, with a tux without a tie and the top button was open.

He motioned for me to come over, and I did. “Can you do my cufflinks?” I nodded and I did it for him as he stared down at me.

When I was done,

“Okay lets go” I followed behind him, Axel lead me to a different room, with a huge glass. You could see outside from the inside of the room but you couldn’t see inside of the room from outside.

I got in and there were a circle of couches, the room had a luminescent glow to it. Axel, sat down and I sat across him.

Then Sophie walked, and immediately went to Axel, she sat on his lap. “Hey love” as she pressed a kiss on his lips, which Axel returned, as he ran his hand on her thigh. Wow, I was feeling really awkward.

How could they have a make out session right in front of me? And is this what Axel bought me here for? I shifted uncomfortably.

I spent the next hour watching Axel and Sophie fondle each other as if I didn’t exist. I was fuming with rage. Nobody deserved to be a third wheel in such a cruel manner. The door was hit open and I jumped up, as I got a big fright.

It was only London, and I started to blush as I realised what I had done. Axel had a concerned look on his face, Sophie looked at me as if I was delusional, then London came and pulled me down so I was sitting next to him and he gave me a reassuring hug.

“I’m sorry Tals, I didn’t mean to scare you like that.” I just nodded my head against him. He held me tighter. “You really need to grow up Talia!” Sophie snapped at me. “Shut the fuck up Sophie.” Axel’s voice boomed.

I was surprised that he had stood up for me, unlike last time. I started to relax, and talk to London, he was making me laugh a lot, which I hadn’t done in a long time. His eyes were soft and I was getting lost in them.

He had a contagious smile, and he absorbed me. The night was long and we were heading to bed at 00:06am.

I started to hear Sophie nagging “Axel, lets go to bed.”

“I can’t for tonight” Axel replied to her.

“Come on Axel, you know you want to.” as she was licking his ear.

“No, so drop it”

We all got up, and walked.

“Sophie, London will see you out.”

“Okay” she replied in a annoyed tone.

My palms were sweating when I turned into Axel’s room as I knew Sophie was watching from behind and she would be pissed.

“Why is she going into your room?”

“Long story” I heard Axel reply as he came in behind me and shut the door.

Sophie Pov:

I was trembling with rage. I didn’t want to confirm what I already knew. I turned to London and I tried to ask calmly.

“Is Talia sleeping in Axel’s room?”

“Yes” London replied in a calm tone.

“Why and for how long?”

“Look Sophie, I don’t question Axel. If you want answers then you are going to have to ask him yourself.”

I clenched my fists, I swear I will make that whore pay, for taking what is mine.

She better be ready because she would need all the luck she can get.
