MORE THAN A SECRETARY

Katrina was woken up by the sound of someone banging on her door, she wondered why whoever was there was banging so hard on her door when the person can just ring the doorbell, she sluggishly got up from her bed, being five months pregnant made her extra tired all the time, if only Lucas was here but he had to travel for a business trip which is why she was alone, Jordan already left for work, he had passed the night at her place but left early for work, Lucas had wanted her to go to his house while he was away but she had insisted on staying here because his house was too big for her to be alone, he had reluctantly agreed.

Over the last two months they have gotten even closer and everyday Katrina fell more in love with him, he was everything, he was kind and considerate and didn’t rush her when she had told him she didn’t want to be married yet, he had understood and told her he will wait till she was ready.

She went to her door wondering who it was, she wasn’t expecting anyone, especially not at this time of the day. she opened the door and regretted it almost immediately when she saw who it was.

“Nas, what are you doing here?”

She asked, she had told him off a hell lot of time but he keeps coming back, at this rate she was just going to have to get a refraining order against him, he was behaving like an obsessed stalker, after their encounter at Lucas’s party, she had been warier of him and told him never to show up in front of her and he had done just that in the first month but he resumed showing up and asking her to be his two weeks ago and this time it was even worst, he even threatened to take Lucas out of the way if that would bring them together, she had told him she didn’t love him and can never love him but he was bent on getting what he wanted.

“Can I come in?”

He asked. Katrina shook her head and blocked the entrance.

“Please go away, I don’t want you here,”

She said looking around, the whole estate was empty as people were either at work or were in school, the fact that Nas had chosen this time knowing that no one was around didn’t sit well with her, she tried to go back into her house but he stopped her by placing his leg firmly on the door.

“Nas, please, can you just stop?”

“No, not if you don’t give me a favorable answer, do you enjoy seeing me like this? Enjoy having me come here or call you begging for you to be mine? Why can’t you just say yes,”

“Isn’t it obvious? Because I don’t love you,”

“No, you do, you just don’t know it yet,”

“I don’t love you, I have a man I am in love you with and we are starting a family together, I never lead you to believe that I love you, I don’t love you, I never had and never will, I have told you that times without number but you don’t want to listen,”

She yelled hoping the estate security will do their usual rounds right now, she looked around but nobody was in sight, fear was already rooted in her and every moment made it worst, Nas was way bigger than her and stronger not to mention the fact that she is heavily pregnant, if anything goes wrong she will be powerless against him, she should have checked before opening the door, she should have gone to Lucas’s house as he suggested.

“You are going to be mine princess,”

“Why are you doing this Nas, can’t you just take a hint? I don’t love you, I can never love you no matter what you do,”

“Oh, but you are going to love me whether you like it or not,”

“Please leave my house, I don’t have the time nor the energy to drag this issue with you, I already told you my stand.”

She said as she turned to leave again, she didn’t mind smashing his leg with her door, but he pulled her hands, dragged her out of the door completely, and before she could remove his hands from hers he pulled something over her face, covering her nose, it made her dizzy, she struggled to fight him off but he was stronger than she could handle and that was the last thing she could remember…

When she woke up, she was in a car, a moving car, she wondered where the car was going to as she couldn’t remember getting into a car she tried to get up but felt too weak and dizzy, she closed her eyes and gathered enough strength to stand up, she realized her hands were tied and her mouth sealed, why was she is a moving car and why was she tied, she couldn’t remember, the last thing she remembered was opening her door to Nas, telling him off and then struggling to free herself from him.

“Oh God, no,”

She thought weakly, trying her best to get herself together, Nas, the bastard, he must have drugged her and took her, only God knows where they were going, she still felt sleepy, maybe the effect of whatever she inhaled hadn’t worn off completely, she open and closed her eyes willing herself not to give in to the sleep but it was no use as she fell right back to sleep.

When she woke up again, she was in a room and on a bed, she tried to get up, but she felt weak, she closed her eyes, held her tummy where her baby resided, and breath in and out before trying again, whatever she had inhaled must be really strong for her to be this weak but that didn’t mean she would give up, she kept trying, she looked around the room, it had a table and a chair, it was painted in white and had a window too, the room looked neat, she wondered where this was, a beach house? She thought as she could hear the moving of the sea, she tried to get up again, she had to get to the door, she had to leave, she couldn’t stay here, she just hoped the door was open even though she knew the possibility of that happening would be slim.

When she was finally able to get up and go to the door, it was locked as she had expected, she went to the window and tried to, open it but she couldn’t, it looked like it was sealed or something, she tried a few more time but failed, she gave up and went back to sit on the bed waiting for the bastard to show up.

She felt hungry and realized she hadn’t eaten breakfast when she had woken up that morning, she had done and chores and decided to sleep for a while before she eat breakfast but then the knock and came and she had answered the door which had to lead her here, she looked around the room looking for something she can use to get the door open but she didn’t find anything, frustrated tears gathered in her eyes but she wiped them off, she needed to be strong, whatever that bastard plans on doing she would not give him the power to see her as a weak vulnerable woman, she will find a way out of here unharmed, she needed to, for her and her baby’s sake.

The door lock clicked and opened, and her captor came in bearing food, she stood up and walked fast to him and landed a slap on his face, he hadn’t expected it as he looked at her in shock.

“Are you out of your mind?”

He yelled at her dropping the tray of food he was holding most of it had spilled as a result of her slap.

“You are the one who is out of your mind, why did you bring me here? You drugged me and brought me to an unknown place so you are the one out of your mind, let me go immediately,”

“No way, you are staying here with me, we are going to be married,”

“You are sick,”

She yelled going for the door, he let her go to her surprise, she ran downstairs towards the door that lead to the entrance, she expected it to be locked but it was open, he must not be so wise then, she thought as she ran through the door out into the open, what she met shocked and scared the hell out of her, it wasn’t a beach house near a beach, it was worst than that.

“No, please no,”

She screamed running to the other side of the house, but it was all surrounded by water and there was no boat in sight, that’s why he had let her leave the room, he knew she didn’t have a way of leaving, she was trapped and she didn’t even know where she was, she turned back at the sound of his horrible laugh.

“Princess, you need to eat, you need strength if you plan on escaping which I might have to inform you, is impossible, you can’t run from me, my lady,”

He said laughing, she felt the urge to kill him.

“I am not your lady Nas, let me go, is it an offense not to feel the same way? Can’t you take rejection and just move on, I am not the one for you, just let me go,”

She pleaded.

“You are the one for me, you just don’t know it yet, we just need to spend time together and you will realize it, you are blinded by the love you think you feel for that bastard, as much as I don’t want another man’s child, I can manage and cope with his kid but we will have ours too right after you birth his,”

He said. He was disgusting, the things he was saying were disgusting, she would never marry him not to talk of having a child for him, she would rather die than be married to him.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“You can see you are hopeless and I have all the power here, just go back inside or you might catch a cold, I don’t think that will be good for you,”

“I don’t want to, I want to get out of here,”

“Do it if you can, oh and those earrings look like the one I got for you,”

He said pointing to her earrings, Lucas had gotten them for her as an early push present, she didn’t understand why Nas said he got it for her, she has never accepted anything from, unless, wait that could be possible, he may be the one who sent those presents,

“It’s was you all along? You were the one sending those messages and gifts? I should have known,”

She voiced.

“Yes, my love, I know you liked them, I just had to stop as the agency I used were starting to ask too many questions and I wasn’t ready to give my identity away, but now that you are aware, I can resume if you want,”

He said and she spat out in disgust.

“I don’t need anything from you bastard, I didn’t like any of your creepy gifts or texts, Lucas got me the earrings, I can never wear anything you buy,”

“Okay, at least he had good taste, can you just go inside now? We can’t stand here all day, I don’t like the sun,”

“Just let me go,”

“Go inside while I am still talking nicely,”

He warned. She decided to go back inside for now, not like there was anything she could do right now, she would however not give up, there has to be a way for her to leave, she needed strength like he said, if she wants to escape and escape she will. she told him to get her food, she knew he wouldn’t do anything to kill her so she eat the food and decided to rest to gather her strength…
