"LEILA’S POV”.
The knock on the door froze I and Alexander in place, our eyes locked in a silent battle. I rushed to the living room and as I saw the man standing next to Alfred, my heart leaped into my throat.
“Ben...” I mumbled under my breath.
“It’s me princess,” Ben said and stepped into the room, his eyes glinting with malice. His hand shot out, brandishing a stack of photographs. “Well, Well, Well, if it is not my secret girlfriend and her lover ..opps husband.” His smirk was an evil one.
Ben approached the table, flicking through the photographs, like a dealer shuffling cards. “These are quite the perfect pictures, would you not say?” He cocked his head to the side with a fake concern on his face . “I wonder how your dear husband would feel if these were to get out?”
My breath caught in my throat. “Ben, please do not do this.”
“I thought it was, ‘Ben please lie with me" he said and chuckled.
“Please Ben, do not do this.” I pleaded with him.
“Oh, I have not even gotten started yet.” Ben ‘s voice was smooth yet evil. “These are just the beginning. I have got our videos too you know, when you’d aid all those things. And there is always more. You know how much of a dirty harlot you can be.”
My hands began to tremble. “Ben, what do you want?”
Ben smiled, showing his teeth. “What do I want? Why, I want to see you soffer of-course. Do you think you can actually outsmart me and send me to jail? No, you can not do that! You are not fit for that. And now that I am out, I want to see you squirm. I want to see you on your knees, begging me to stop. And then maybe, just maybe. I will consider being merciful. “Ben’s voice became a low, dangerous growl. “Or perhaps, I will just destroy you both. That might be fun, too.”
I felt as if the air was being sucked out of the room, and it was spinning my world crashing down before me. “You are a monster.”
Ben’s smile widened. “Yes. Yes I am.” He said and took a step closer, the stench of his cologne filled my nostrils. “And if you do not do exactly as I say, I will do so many things to you that the people will spit on your face.” He said and dropped a stack of photographs on the table, the images scattering like leaves.
Each picture was taken, with me in different parts and different shameful outfits. My mind raced, desperation clawing at my throat. “What do you want from me?”
Ben’s eyes gleamed with anger and hatred. “What do I want? Why, everything. I want your money, your influence, your power,” his voice was a cold , hard promise. “I want everything you have, everything you are and you will give it to me or these pictures will be all over the Internet before you can say jack!”
My chest tightened, by heart racing as if it might burst. “How do we know you will not just do that anyway?”
“Because I do not lie Leila,” Ben said, his eyes cold and hard. “Unlike you, I am not a liar. You give me what I want, and those pictures stay hidden. But if you cross me or you try to act smart with me like last time, I will make sure your little secrets are out for the entire world to see. And no one will ever trust you again.”
I felt a cold sweat break out on my skin, his words like a punch to my gut. “What do want from me? What do I have to do?”
Ben smiled . “Everything I say. Exactly as I say it.”
“We will do not anything, please.” I pleaded.
“We?” Alexander scoffed. “Keep me out of this.”
My mind reeled as Alexander spoke, his words like a slap to my face.
“I will not be a part of this.” His voice was firm, his jaw clenched tight. “You are on your own.”
I gasped at him, my disbelief mingling with hurt. “Alexander , you...you can not—“
But Alexander was already turning away, his gaze locked on the doorway. “I told you , Leila. You lied to me. I do not trust you anymore.”
Alexander’s words suffocated my thoughts, my heart aching as he walked away, leaving me alone with Ben.
“Well, looks like little miss Harlot’s lies are more than I thought and your knight in shining armor is not so shiny after all.” Ben said, a twisted smirk on his face. “What will it be Leila?” Will you bend to my will or will you let the world see your dirty little secrets?”
I fought to keep my composure, my mind racing with thoughts. “What do you want from me?”
“Everything,” Ben’s voice was a purr. “Your loyalty, your obedience. Your life, if it comes to it. You will do what I say, when I say it and how I want it done. You will be my little puppet and you will endure all that I will do to you. You will come to me the minute I ask for it, and you will satisfy my inner beast. You will serve me in the bedroom and you will not utter a single word of complaint.”
He advanced on me and hugged me from the back, placing kisses on my neck. “I will make you happy Leila, I am two times the man Alexander can ever be. You, yourself admitted it that night too, remember? That night when you came to me and begged for my member? That night when you told me you needed something to fill you your insides cause Alexander’s bed game was poor?”
My stomach churned, I felt like throwing up. His words and his actions made me feel dirty, but he was not lying after all.
“Really? You went
to him and told him that?” A voice said and my blood ran cold.
