The MANSION {Madre's Mansion}

Ekrilla;..

Gabby's POV;...

We've been walking for hours and I feel dehydrated and weak. I wonder how much longer it would take us to get to freedom.

"Three more days to freedom! "Dana screams as if reading my mind pulling me out of my head. I trip and yelp but instantly feel a strong arm wrap around my waist.

I look up to find the handsome Nigerian god smiling down at me.
"Easy there. "He says as calm as ever before pulling me back up.

I bite the inside of my lower lip as I feel my face flush.
"Th... Thank you." I manage to stutter and he flashes me another heart-stopping smile. A smile that almost cause my legs to wobble.

I've fallen head over hills for Ekene. He's funny, calm, caring, super smart, handsome, bold, and whatnot.

I still can't recall how my clothes got off my body at Oaklin Valley or How his hands got under my clothes... Or how he got on top of me... Or how my lustful desires completely drowned my reasoning!

I've fallen so deeply for him, I told him I love him that same night. I still can't believe I did that and lost my virginity all in one night!

"Funny how we haven't encountered a single Fratello. "Ekene suddenly says pulling me out of my trans and I tilt my head as it hits me. It indeed is strange.

"I don't know. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope it's for the best. "I finally say and he nods before interlocking his fingers with mine.

I smile from the heart as I recall his confession of love to me between passionate kisses.

I look away nervously and my eyes fall on Desmond and Sonia who are a few feet away from us and are silently arguing as usual with Sonia's tiny finger pointing at him.

I smile and shake my head lightly. •Those two are a match made in heaven.

It's afternoon and the sun is showing no mercy. We are doing well to hide in the shadows mother nature has provided us by sacrificing the backs of the poor tall trees to the ever-pompous sun.

We're all walking when Desmond suddenly stops. He turns to look at Ekene in worry and I watch Ekenes face drop into an observant frown. Soon enough Timothy walks over to Desmond and says something to him causing Sonia's dace to instantly display fear.

Ekene drags me to a spot and tells me to stay there as he walks over to the other boys. I watch in worry as Desmond hides Sonia behind a tree and she turns to stare at me in worry.

Every other person soon goes to hide leaving only the boys out and Dana is the only girl left unhidden. Sonia tried to protest against hiding but Desmond knows just how to drop her anchor.

Ekene runs back to me.
"We're been followed and watched. Stay hidden till I tell you to come out. I think it's finally time we meet the Fratello." He says to me and I freeze.

"B... But.. "I make to protest in fear as I grab his arm.

"I'd be fine" he cuts me before planting a tender kiss on my lips and I watch with tears in my eyes as he moves I've to the other boys.

I'm hidden behind a rock close to a cliff and I hear water clapping beneath. Well now is the perfect time to recall I have FEAR OF HEIGHTS!!

I peep again and find Sonia peeping anxiously at the boys from behind the tree Desmond kept her.

I suddenly feel the hairs in my neck rise and my soul begins to stir in discomfort. I hear my soul scream but I don't know why.

In search of comfort from this new discomfort, I look to the sky and I feel blood freeze in my face.

Yes, the person above is our Ekene❤
I'm sorry for what is about to happen next💔
