Am running so fast ,my chest is burning
...I gulp for air and all I feel is pain.I have to get away,I have to run far far away from this people,Alex is after me with a machete calling me all sort of names,slut,whore,....I can't let him catch me.I see a gate ahead,an escape route!!I quicken my steps and I feel a sharp pain in my feet,its sore,I can feel warm liquid seeping through it,am sure it blood but I can't stop,if I do I die and I don't want to die now.
At last! Am steps away the gate, my happiness exceeds my pain and quicken my steps,reaching the gate its locked!!am doomed,I search around frantically  but there is no other escape route, the gate is plain,nothing to hold on to,am cornered, I better say my last prayer, I turn around and look at my assailants, it not only Alex,am surrounded by many faceless people chanting 'slut,whore,die' repeatedly, Alex take steps towards me and I instinctively take steps back,he is grinning at me,'the kind of grin that tell you bitch say your last prayer'.Suddenly Alex is replaced by Madam.
",no no this can't be,not her!!I don't want to die in her hands. Not her!!!" I scream out,am horror stricken. She let out a evil laugh.
"Hahaha....Emmaculate you can never found love Never!!!not even if you change your name!Never!!!!" She shrieks.
I can't believe that,I won't believe that,I deserve to love and be loved.
Suddenly I see Hunters,yes!!he is my escape route ,he will save me, I take steps towards him and reach out for him but he ducks and escapes my grasps, he looks at me disgusted by my sight and my heart sinks.I see him reaching out for his pocket brings out a shiny knife,I stop breathing for a moment.
"I will never love you slut!" He shrieks chargin toward me....I let out a bloodcurdling scream.
I wake up with a start,sweating profusely, What a bad dream!!!phew!it was just a dream.I quickly say a short prayer and chant my mantra to steady my breath and calm my nerves.it has always been like this since we escaped from that wicked Madam's foster homes,I have visited shrink after shrink but it never helped till the last one,she was a doctor and had experienced the same fate as mine,she helped me out from feeling unworthy and dirty to appreciating myself.my bad dreams had stopped and I learnt how to love my self,I think the reason why my bad dream occurred now because of the conversation we had with Andrew last night.I know he means well and want me to have a healthy relationship without lies and be happy.One thing he does not understand is am happy with him.He is my brother,my best friend and only family,  am happy with him in my life.I don't need a man .
Besides he is wishful to think Hunters will pursue what we have further to be a love relationship.What we have is pure sex nothing more.Telling him about my sexual history is outrageous and won't end well.Believe me,I   tried once, in my failed relationship with my Alex.Not only did it end with an ugly break up but also Alex posting my sex story in social media with my full details and calling me all sorts of ugly names.It took us all of our savings to make the story disappear from social media,we also had to change our names and relocate.
Anders picked Andrew, and I chose Edna from Emmaculate .Good thing we made the changes in birth certificates,driving licences, Identification cards,everything. For all I know  Anders and Emmaculate never existed. We took the name Marie us siblings and swore an oath never to leave each others side forever, an oath we have both kept to date.
I reach out for my watch and check the time,5:00a.m.I have to prepare fast .Am to report at work by seven.
I rush to the bathroom and take a cold shower.I needed it coz I was smelly from all that sweat .........
I pick a simple black dress that shows my curves without exaggeration, wear a usual necklace,it has a lock that carries both my photo and Andrew's.Andrew has the same on his neck,I made the necklace but Andrew made the locks,we wore it the day we escaped that damned place and none of us have ever lost them.
I rush to the kitchen make Andrew Apology pancakes,it our tradition, if I wrong him I make him pancakes and write an apology note,if he wrongs me he buys an icecream with and a apology note since he can't cook.
Don't get me wrong am not a good cook but am a pro at making pancakes. After around fifteen minutes am done. It 6:50,Andrew will wake up soon,lucky bastard,he reports at eight.
Am happy am not going to be late,my work place is not far plus I brought my old jeep from the garage on Saturday.. Reaching out am surprised to see a black sleek limousine with James and a strange bulky guy standing outside as if waiting for someone important.
"Morning James" I greet him enthausticaly.Since Miss Daniels ordeal we have been great friends, he is a family man and I have had several dinners at his place.His wife is way gorgeous and a great cook.I can't remember how many time I went back home from his house stuffed.The have two kid both in the army,one in the navy another in the air forces.Am told they are around my age and have followed their father's footsteps to join the army. 
"Morning too little one,we are told to pick you up from today onwards" he informs me addressing me by the nickname they baptized me with.
"" No thanks,and before you ask why,I have my own car,"I say pointing at my old jeep."and I can't have people thinking am riding my boss's cock(which I am and enjoying)to climb my way up"I continue seriously.
"Its an order from.."
"Tell your boss I said no" I cut James short angrily .who does he think he is??just because I had  sex with him once he wants to dominate my life!!I refuse!
I walk toward my jeep  to notice the bulky man following me.I stop and glare at him and he stares back unsmiling.
"Why are you following me?" I inquire
"Am your bodyguard M'aam" he replies still unsmiling.
" First of all never call me M'aam,second, tell your boss I don't need a bodyguard "I state with finality and with that I get into my jeep and drive to work .its high time I draw a boundary in this sex relationship before it get out of hand..........
