"I'm not a hero, I'm just a girl who's trying to survive." I say and he laughs "Survive huh? That's what you call stealing, surviving.." He begins but I cut him off.
  
    "Ever heard the quote that says;" Nature doesn't know that which is wrong or right but that which survives? " I ask and he nods "I'm not a hero..there's no such thing as a hero, at least not in me." I say and he smiles.
   
 "That's what you think." he says lighting a cigarette "Mind if I smoke here?" he asks and I shrug.
  
    "There's a potential to be..." he begins but I cut him off "Enough! enough of all that your nonsense, if you'll excuse me I've got to work." I say turning around to leave "What will your parent say if they see who you're becoming; a corporate thief. Will they be proud?" he says and I stop dead in my tracks remembering my parents smiling faces "Our little hero" they used to say.
   
     "You know I'm right." he says and I shake my head "I'm not interested."....

"Come on," the man on the throne says as he gets up. "Don't run away yet. We're about to have the time of our lives." I feel his cold hands grip my arms, and the smell of expensive perfume and alcohol flood my nostrils when he buries his face into the nape of my neck. My body shakes so much and my legs get so weak that I feel like falling, but he holds me in place, so focused on covering my neck in his disgusting kisses. "I'm sorry!" I cry. "I'm so, so sorry! Please just let me go! I'm too young for this! What do you want to find in a girl my age?" I hear him chuckle behind me as I feel his fingers approach the zip of my dress. "But girls your age aren't packaged like queens." He starts unzipping. "Let me make you a queen, my queen. I'll give you everything, I swear." He starts to pull my dress down by the shoulders, but I push him away before he goes halfway. "Damontae!" The man looks at me and laughs. Right now, he's discarded his jeans and his cigar and he's only in his underwear. The bulge in-between his legs is so big that by mere looking at it, I know I'm already doomed. ☁︎༒︎☁︎ Serenity Nden's life is going according to plan...until her notorious elder brother comes crashing back into it. Damomtae Nden is a stranger to stability, and once his issues affect his business, he might have to use the sanity of those nearest to him to pay the price. Forget the title of this book. The story you're about to read portrays the exact opposite.

Her lips were still quivering out of shock and her breathing distorted. "Obiukwu" She finally let out still battling with unsteady breathing. He adjusted the cuff of his pristine white shirt and helped her up. "For a girl with a boy's name you certainly do not think like one. Usually when a female dog comes after you, you don't run towards her young puppies, you run far away from them".
