A Lesson Learned

Chapter 24: Breakthrough

Ahmad jumped for joy as the front door broke off its hinges, colliding onto the apartment floor with a loud thump as the firefighters made their way inside. By now, the water from the kitchen sink had made its way to the kitchen floor and spread its way across the room. Ahmad glanced over at the bathroom door and he could ear the sound of the water rushing down, it was the sweetest sound he ever heard. It was the resounding sound of freedom. The firefighters quickly went into action turning off the faucets and running over to Ahmad to detain him. Suddenly a firefighter shook him violently before slapping him across the face.

BAM!

Ahmad flew off the couch and exited his daydream. Instead of an heroic NY firefighter here to rescue him, it was Darius and he wore a furious face. In a disorientated state, Ahmad looked around the room again to see that his water show had ended, all of the faucets were off and the floor around him was dry.

"Nigga this was probably the smartest shit you ever did since I met your stupid ass!" Darius said smiling down at Ahmad like a proud dad as he paused for a moment, then proceeded to kick Ahmad in the ribs. "But I got surveillance on your ass, my goons keeping an eye on my place, you think you was going to be able to just flood my shit?"

Ahmad refused to display his pain, he was too far gone at this point, and with a sudden burst of adrenaline he shot up off the floor and tackled Darius.

The two collided onto the wood floor, throwing wild punches at each other in the midst of their struggle for dominance. Darius, being the stronger man, quickly gained the advantage and pinned Ahmad down on the ground. Ahmad was wild and practically snarling, he wanted  nothing else but to kill this nigga!

"FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! GET THE FUCK OFF ME BITCH!" Ahmad fought with all he had as Darius slammed his body on the ground trying to restrain his arms. Ahmad was relentless in his efforts, he kicked, punched, scratched, and writhed from underneath Darius's strong-arm hold on him.

"Nigga calm yo ass down!" Darius demanded as he head butted Ahmad, almost succeeding in knocking him unconscious.

Ahmad kicked and kicked managing to get free himself from Darius's hold if only for a mere moment, but a moment was all he needed to reach up and take a hard bite of Darius's nipple.

"OWWW!!!!!!!" Darius screamed instantly releasing him. He could feel a gash opening up on his nipple.

Ahmad shot up off the ground and punched Darius in the face. Darius recoiled falling onto the ground and Ahmad grappled him and proceeded to lay haymakers across Darius's face. Darius although disorientated, began to fight back from the ground, as Ahmad tried his best to stay on top of him and punch him.

"You mutha fucka! I fucking hate you!" Ahmad was a wild animal as he attacked Darius managing to make Darius spit up blood as he pounded his head into the hard floor beneath them.

Suddenly Darius unearthed a pulse of strength within him and threw Ahmad off of himself like a rag doll. He shot up off the floor and spat a large blob of blood from his mouth onto the floor.

"Nigga I like you with a little fight in you!" Darius had a delirious look Ahmad had never seen before. "I'm going to have fuck you up for real now, but this JLo 'Enough' shit you on, got a nigga hard as fuck yo!"

Before Ahmad could get back on his feet, Darius did a wrestler move on him, picking him up off the ground high over his head and slamming him onto the ground, and just like that, Ahmad was knocked unconscious.

Six weeks had passed since Ahmad's failed attempt to escape and was by far the worst moments of the sheltered and pampered life of Ahmad Franklin. Regardless, it would be hell for any man to endure. Ahmad had become the sex slave and punching bag for Darius and each day the acts became more devious and humiliating. The longer time passed the longer Ahmad began to think he wasn't going to make it out alive. The most peaceful moment of his imprisonment was during the unexpected birth of Darius's son. When Taliah went into labor three weeks early, a frantic Darius ran off, barely having time to bolt and lock Ahmad in before he left. After three days of solace, Ahmad feared that Darius wasn't coming back and he was going to starve to death.
