"I am not your brother'' Max said and stood up ''you ca here suddenly, barging into my life after gaining your mories. Did you co here without knowing the consequences? Even after I told you about my feelings?''
'"You said it was a mistake? You said I should forget about it'' Marvel said and stood in front of him.
''You really do hold grudges against people. were that bothered about what I said this morning?'' Max asked and looked at her.
''No!!!'' Marvel answered quickly.
''I said that because I was angry. I was angry and sad that you didn't know I was and you didn't even rember . sit down first'' Max said and pushed her back into the sofa.
''That must be because of what happened that year'' Marvel said.
''What happened that year? Did sothing happen to you while I was away?'' Max asked worriedly and she nodded her head and her tears suddenly started falling as she spoke.
''A month after eting you was our college entrance exams, so my uncle promised that he will bring to see you if I concentrated and did well in my exams. He enrolled into a private class that was attended by only rich kids. I t a boy there that I really liked. He was called Jones Cambridge. I knew he didn't like much but I thought it was alright as long as I liked him more''
''Silly woman. What kind of thought was that?'' Max murmured as he wiped her tears. Marvel beca sober and calm and chuckled before she continued.
''I know right? I should have stopped but I didn't. That was around that ti when I heard that you were getting married. I was angry that you didn't bother to contact again. You gave my uncle a job but you never asked him about again and when I found out that you were getting married, I was angry and hated you for it. I stopped asking my uncle to bring to et you and because he was probably busy at work, he didn't also bother to ask the reason. But, I'm guessing it must have been because of your marriage. My uncle never ntioned you in front of again.
Then, about two weeks to our college entrance exams, Jones asked to go sowhere with him. I didn't know where it was but I readily agreed to go with him and that was when everything happened. Jones took to a casino and asked to sit on his laps while he made bets but he sucked at it and lost all his money in a short span of ti, but he still wanted to bet and that was when I realised his aim for sending there in the first place. I went to the washroom while he was playing and I overheard so girls discussing in one of the cubicles. They said that the gamblers at the table were now gambling using their girlfriends as ransom and I got alard but I still didn't believe Jones would do sothing like that to but that was exactly what he did. He sold in exchange for so gambling money and left the casino by the ti I returned from the washroom. One of the n told his guards to take away along with so innocent girls who also went there with their boyfriends. They sent us to a place I can't really rember till now. The only things I rember about that place was that, we weren't the only kids that were kidnapped. There were at least 10 other kids there. first we thought we were just kidnapped so that they would ask for a ransom from our families but that wasn't it.
After two days, the kids we were kidnapped with started disappearing one after the other. I was so scared. then, a fight broke among the kidnappers and it was then we realised that it wasn't a normal kidnapping they were doing but they were people who were engaged in child prostitution. The other girls that disappeared were sold to rich n who wanted untainted girls to ss with and the place we were kept was actually a betrothal house were teenage girls were kept and used to pleasure n.
That day a fight broke among them, it was because of a girl. She was really beautiful and curvy. She was the one who always shared her food with because they didn't give food''
''Why did they give you any food?'' Max asked even though his whole body was boiling with anger.
'Because I looked rather flat and couldn't guarantee them much money ' Marvel said and chuckled ''I heard the discussions of the girls I was with and that was when I found out we were there because we were virgins so I decided to do sothing to myself. I didn't want to be used as a sex tool so that night when everyone was asleep, the girl who shared her food with woke up and took to the washroom.
There, she gave a piece of banana and asked to penetrate myself with it if I wanted a way of there''
Marvel suddenly felt chills and started shaking. Max pulled her to himself and made her sit on his laps. He hugged her tightly. He could guess the rest of the story from what she said so far.
''Is alright, Mar, you are safe now. Is alright'' Max patted her softly and she sobbed in his arms. Max's face darkened as he thought of the things that happened to her without his knowledge. That sa must have been a real jinx for him and the people around him.
That year, his girlfriend broke up with him and disappeared. Ad-Din got into an accident and his little girl was kidnapped and made to go through a lot of hardships. He was so angry with himself. He couldn't even protect the people he cared about even though he was the eldest. Back then, he lived under the shadow of his grandpa and did everything he was told.
He heard a soft breathing sound and looked at the woman in his arms. She was now asleep and he sighed. Max lifted Marvel up and carried her into his bedroom. He placed her on the bed and covered her with the quilt before he picked his phone and made a call.
''I want you to find soone for , Jones Cambridge and also find out if there was a betrothal house operating in Cosmos around the year 20xx and if they are still in operation'' Max said and hung up. He turned and looked at Marvel who was still sleeping soundly and sighed. He went into the washroom to wash up.
He soon returned in his pyjamas and saw that Marvel had kicked away the quilt. He chuckled and walked to her. He pulled the quilt and laid next to her on the bed and covered the two of them with the quilt. He moved closer to her and held her as he closed his eyes.
Marvel opened her eyes and saw a familiar face sleeping next to her. Her first reaction was to scream but the mories of the night ca back and she flushed thinking of how she held unto Max and didn't want to let go. She noticed he was still sleeping and decided to be a little bold. She moved closer to him and looked at his face as she murmured.
''Still handso. His face is so perfect. Wait, did we sleep on the sa bed? Does it an we jumped the stages and went straight to sharing the sa bed?'' Marvel kept murmuring and suddenly heard a hoarse chuckled and froze. She looked down slowly and saw Max looking at her. his hair looked ssy but charming and seductive.
''We didn't jump the stages. I just didn't want you to sleep alone. I was afraid you will get nightmares and wanted to be there'' Max said and smiled as he closed his eyes again. He still wanted to sleep so more Marvel flushed as her heartbeat quickened. She tried to get out of the bed and Max pinned her down with his hand. His hand was across her chest and her breathing that rose made his hand seem like it was moving with her pace of breathing. His fingers were also greasing her left breast and their scene looked ambiguous and a little erotic. Marvel held unto the bedsheet tightly, digging her nails into them as she tried not to make any movent because the mont she did, his palm will now be on her breast. His fingers were enough to cause her ssy thoughts.
Max touched sothing soft and suddenly opened his eyes. He first looked at the red face of Marvel and his eyes turned to look at the position of his hand and imdiately pulled away. His face also turned away and apologised.
''Sorry, I didn't know my hand was there''
''I will go and drink so water at the kitchen''
Their conversation turned awkward and Marvel got down from the bed and ran out.
