Chapter 8

Kiki stared at Jordane’s chiseled chest. She had never told this part of her story. Never been able to share the worse months of her life.

He caressed her back, waiting for her to speak. It was his silent understanding. His faith in her that allowed her to put the horror of her life to words.

“My father feared me. He thought I was a devil. Something evil. So, he sold me to someone... worthy of me. A man who makes monsters look like poster children for a Teddy bear convention.”

“Who is he?”

“His name is Mario Lopez, and he owned me in every sense of the word.”

“Explain,” Jordane said.

Kiki pulled the sheet up over her body. “Mario married me the day after I arrived at his plantation. We had a lavish wedding but it was all for show. Unlike my father I was Mario’s only wife. He told everyone I was sixteen and that I looked young.”

“How old were you?”

She swallowed hard. “I was fourteen.”

Jordane’s hand stilled on her back. “He knew you were fourteen?”

“Yes. My father wouldn’t have lied to Mario. Everyone feared him. It pleased my father when Mario showed an interest in me but the original deal was for Mario to wait till my sixteenth birthday. I scared my father into selling me... early.”

Jordane’s fingers gripped her back. “He took advantage of you. Forced you to have sex with him. Raped you.”

Kiki shook her head. “In his eyes we were married. He had my father’s consent. He didn’t consider it rape. I tried to fight him but he hit me until I... gave up.”

He pulled her closer. “You did not give up. You were a child in an unforgivable circumstance.”

Kiki ran a finger over his chest. She couldn’t look him in the eyes but his presence. Strength. Seeped into the cold, warming her. “It continued for a few months until I started bleeding. I had miscarried. I didn’t even realize I was pregnant.”

“What happened then?”

“The doctor told Mario that my body wasn’t mature enough to carry a baby full term. He suggested Mario wait to impregnate me again.”

Jordane’s eyes glowed like green fires in the dark. “Did he wait?”

“No. He’d been drinking with his men and wanted sex that night. I was so sore from the DNC the doctor had given me. I couldn’t... I snapped and used my ability.”

“I thought your talent didn’t work on humans,” Jordane said.

“It doesn’t. I forced his guard dogs to attack him. He was bleeding from his genitals when I ran from the room.”

Jordane’s eyes flashed in approval. “That’s when you stowed away in the truck, headed for the shipping port.”

“I had a run in with Mario’s head of security. He caught me. Tried to take me back to Mario, but I had grabbed a letter opener from the desk. I thought it was the light, or that I was in shock but his eyes turned white. His face dissolved when he was staggering away from me with blood gushing out of his neck.
