"Ma'am are you okay?"Mariyah nodded as she fled from the building.Making her way into her car she drove off like a maniac.Where could she go for help?Who could help her?She had nobody in the world.The police… She would go to the police.
After reporting Caleb as missing the police said that not much could be done, they would get on and check out this Fernando guy.When they got back to her about it apparently Fernando was clean.What the hell?She couldn't just sit and do nothing.Oh my god, oh my god this was really bad.Zak popped up in her mind.Would he help her?She would beg him and plead and do anything he wanted as long as he found Caleb.She had no other choice in the world, at this point Zak Michaels was the lesser of the two evils, he would have to help her.He could kill her afterward, just as long as Caleb was safe.
Packing some toiletries and a few changes of clothing Mariyah headed to the car on her way to see the one person she had been avoiding for almost a year.This had to work, if it didn't than Caleb would have no chance of survival, that was if he still lived and she would be as good as dead anyway.It didn't matter anymore, it was a long shot but it was the only shot she had.
Driving in the dead of night was a freaky experience.Mariyah stopped off at motel to sleep and rest for a few hours, she had something to eat before she continued on.The drive was exhausting for her, she just wanted to reach Zak and not waste any more time.
Finally as the sun lit the pink sky, Mariyah had reached her destination.Looking at the mansion, Mariyah almost lost her nerve.She drove in the long driveway until she reached the gates.Of course they were locked.She pulled her hand out of the window and buzzed."Name?"
"Mariyah Hayworth, I need to speak to Zak, it's important."To her surprise the gates opened allowing her entry.She parked the car and drew in a deep breath as she made her way to the doors.She held her breath before she pressed the doorbell.A scary looking man opened it, armed with enough weapons to go to war with.
"Can I help you?"Mariyah swallowed hard almost losing her nerve
"I need to see Zak, can you please tell him Mariyah Hayworth is here to see him?"The man looked at Mariyah and raised an eyebrow as if the name was familiar to him.
"Mr Michaels is asleep, if you wish to wait for him you may.It's only five in the morning so you understand why I won't disturb him."Mariyah nodded."You’re welcome to rest in the guest room, looks like you have been driving for a while."That sounded ideal, if she had to wait she might as well sleep for a bit.Heaven knows her body needed it.
"Thank you, I would like that."The guy who she assumed was a bodyguard brought her some water and juice and closed the door of the guest room behind him.She looked at the furnishing of the room and was awed by how elaborate it was.Moving the covers she snuggled in the bed falling asleep almost instantly.
Feeling very rested, Mariyah opened her eyes yawning.She stretched her body before sitting up.She covered her mouth when she noticed Zak sitting on the sofa looking at her.She had to stop herself from screaming."Jesus Christ, you gave me a heart attack."He looked at her studying her intently.
"Where have you been Mariyah?"His voice so low.So calm… She bit her lips feeling overwhelmed."Where the fuck have you been for over a year?"
"Zak I will explain everything to you but first I need to..."He held his hands up to stop her speaking.
"Get the fuck up…" Having said that he walked out of the room leaving her alone.She quickly used the adjoining bathroom and put her shoes back on before leaving the room to find him.The guy that let her in earlier on came and led her to the dining room where breakfast was being served.It smelt heavenly.Zak looked up at her "Sit."He ordered.She did as he wanted and sat down on the right of him.It suited him to sit at the head of the table.
"Zak please I need..."
"Mariyah, I need you to shut the fuck up for now okay?"She nodded knowing what that meant.If she continued to talk he would smack her mouth shut."Eat…" Fine she was hungry anyways.Looking at him now her heart did leaps and summersaults.Zak Michaels the love of her life."Mariyah stop fucking looking at me and eat your breakfast."She jumped and her face colored that he caught her looking at him.
"Why… Who do we have here?"A stunning woman walked into the dining room dressed in nothing but a lacy black nightie, her breast were visible as was her thong under the piece of material she was wearing.She moved and kissed Zak on the mouth, using her tongue and all.Mariyah almost cried.She wanted to smash her face in.Then the tramp sat in his lap."Baby, why is there a strange girl eating breakfast with us?"
"Olivia this is Mariyah."Mariyah looked up at the green eyed beauty and faked a smile
"Charmed."The bitch said tartly to Mariyah."Why is she here Zak?"
"I'm an old friend and need Zak's help."Mariyah jumped in, she was afraid he would introduce her as his whore who fled from him.
"Mariyah your mouth...Honey shut it.Do not make me repeat myself."Mariyah almost rolled her eyes at him.
"Oh I see, this is one of those people that come and beg you for money.I bet she was never your friend before you had money."Mariyah was getting pissed off.She really did want to say something but didn't want to piss Zak off.
"Something like that."He agreed with Olivia.Mariyah felt herself get riled up but she bit her tongue.Let him say what he wanted as long as he would help her with Caleb.The bitch on Zak's lap kissed him again before moving away from him and taking a seat opposite Mariyah.She nibbled at her food as if she didn't like it, whereas Mariyah had almost devoured everything on her plate.Olivia's black hair was stunning.It was shiny and long and dead straight.She was already dolled up with makeup, if she had time to do her makeup couldn't she have gotten dressed also, it wasn't something Mariyah wanted to see while eating.Perky breast and a perfect ass.Not an ounce of fat on her.
When breakfast was over Mariyah had restrained herself long enough.She needed Zak to listen to her."Baby I need to go shopping."Olivia said as she stood and moved behind Zak’s chair and kissed his neck.
"Tell Eric, he will give you what you need."Bitch smiled and kissed him again before swaying away from them leaving her ass exposed for all to see.
"Classy."Mariyah couldn't help herself.Zak gave her a watch it look and Mariyah shrugged her shoulders like what I do?Zak stood and started walking away, Mariyah felt stupid, she didn't know to do.
"Mariyah."She looked up at him and he looked exasperated at her "This way…" So she was to follow him then… Yep…
Following him into a grand office, Mariyah couldn't believe the wealth that showed through the furnishings.Zak took a seat behind the mahogany desk and indicated for Mariyah to take a seat."Why have you come?"She was thinking of the best way to tell him.Shit this was harder than she anticipated, what if he kicked her out and said he never wanted to see her again?"Mariyah you have been dying to talk since you came here, now that I'm letting you talk you have nothing to say...For fucks sake spit it out."
"Caleb is missing."
"And this is my problem how?"Deep breathes Mariyah
