Not long after Zak left Caleb knocked and walked into the room.He sat beside her and she the put her head on his shoulder and continued crying.She needed to get it off her chest, she now cried for Caleb, she would not see him again either and that started her crying anew.This time it was for good.

Mariyah didn't approach Olivia again, she would wait until Olivia came to her.She continued to go along her days as she had before their agreement.Things were awkward between her and Zak now.She felt like she really got through to him after that last encounter.It was for the best.The wedding plans were full speed ahead, and Mariyah felt like an outsider sitting in.She didn't spend too much time with Caleb either, it would just make it harder when she left.So pretty much Mariyah was a loner doing her own things.
Sitting outside one day, Olivia joined her."I have the money."Mariyah simply nodded her."I have organized something…" They got interrupted, Zak came and joined them.He stretched his legs out and leaned back onto the huge wicker armchair.Mariyah wanted to throw herself in his arms and let him wrap his arms around her.Instead she looked away.
"What are you two whispering about?"He asked looking accusingly at Mariyah.
"Trying to be civil."Mariyah replied.Zak looked at her suspiciously "Do you want us to fight?"
"I'll figure it out, Olivia, Mariyah is trouble with a capital T, I wouldn't be quick to follow a scheme of hers."He knew, he knew oh fuck he knew.
"Zak honey, do I look like the type of person who will be involved in anything at all with somebody like her?"
"Why because your too high and mighty for me?"She prayed Zak was buying it.
"It's fine Mariyah, I'll get to it.You just do whatever it is your doing.Just a warning, if you get caught, so help me god, you will live in the fucking basement."Mariyah felt her heart speed up.Why would he suspect anything?This is the first time she had spoken to Olivia in almost two weeks.
"Why assume I'm up to something?Why not her?"She indicated to Olivia with her head.
"Because I'm too educated to do anything stupid."Was Olivia’s take on that.
"Oh bite me."Bitch always had a comeback.Zak was looking at her as if trying to work out if she was lying or not.
"Come here."Mariyah thought he was talking to Olivia so she didn't move."Mariyah…” She pointed at her chest not really getting it.
"Me?"
"Is there another fucking Mariyah here?"He sounded so exasperated.She stood up making her way over to him.Kind of awkward to say the least.
"Yep, I'm here…" She felt so stupid.Zak pulled her onto his lap, Mariyah sat rigidly.Olivia was there watching everything.Mariyah didn't understand Zak's motive.
"What are you up to?"She swallowed
"Nothing…" Zak started stroking her legs, she was in a short denim skirt and a bikini top so he was pretty much touching her bare legs which he stroked, his hands kept going higher and higher.
"Don't lie to me, you know how I get if you lie to me."Olivia wasn't impressed and stood up now.
"Zak I won't put up with this.It's bad enough you are even fucking the tramp but to touch her in my presence I won't fucking take it."Mariyah tried to get off him but he held her down roughly.
"Stop fucking moving!"He barked at Mariyah who was suddenly afraid."Olivia, this here is a lesson for Mariyah, see what she doesn't know is that I've studied her behavior and she is acting the exact way she acted twice before.Remember Mariyah, when you planned your escape?Do you think I'm a fucking idiot?"He had his hand now fisted in her hair.She winced when he pulled.
"Whatever, deal with her how you want.I just wish she wasn't always taking up your time because she can't fucking stay out of trouble."Olivia returned to her seat and Mariyah was mortified, he was going to humiliate her in front of fucking Olivia.
"Zak you’re accusing me of something with no proof.Why would you think I'm planning to escape?"He smiled releasing her hair.
"My dicks hard."Mariyah felt the color drain from her face, she remembered when he forced her to suck him knowing the prison guards were watching.She bit her lip not knowing how to proceed.
"Zak...Please… Stop…" She never wanted to be in that predicament again, it was horrific.
"Ah baby, you understand me well.What happens when you do something you’re not supposed to do?What punishment have I dished out to you before?"Oh she didn't want to answer.He continued to stroke her legs slowly and deliberately, his hands went under her skirt now.Mariyah drew in a breath, so afraid that Caleb would walk out and witness this scene.
"ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION!"He yelled at her making her jump.
"You make me go down on you no matter who's watching."She whispered through her tears.
"I couldn't hear you, say it louder."When she started repeating her answer he smacked her hard across her mouth."Louder, I want the fucking gardener to hear you."
