Stacie's POV
I woke up with a tickling sensation on my neck and a weight which grinding on my lap. I moaned at the smell of vanilla as I sniffed her hair. I confirmed that she's a girl base on how she gripped on my shoulder. I groaned as she sucked on my pulse point and pushed me on the chair with vigor. I hissed at the pain on my back and the same time when she stopped.
"I'm sorry."
I shuddered at her voice.
"Y-You?"
"Do you still remember me?" She husked and continued on kissing my cheek. "Don't answer it. I know you still don't but please.. don't hate me." She whispered between nibbling my ear.
"I won't hate you.. but why are you doing this to me?" I moaned and tug the cuffs on my wrist. God. I wanted to touch her knowing it's her.
"Because I love you Stacie. I loved you before and I still love you even now."
"Can we talk?" I moaned again as I felt her hands on my breast. "Please.. uhh. Fuck. Please stop for a while."
She stopped and ran her hands up to my shoulder to hug me. Engulfing my body with hers. I like her body touching mine. Seconds later, I felt the blindfolds loosen up and slowly fell from my face. I still didn't open my eyes, afraid to see what's in the dark and at the same time adjusting.
"I trust you." She whispered on me again. "P-Please don't leave me again." She stuttered as she tightened her arms around me down my spine. I feel her warm breath against my neck.
"Kiss me." I mindlessly purred. I felt her shook her head.
"I can't."
"But why?"
"You will leave me.."
We stayed in silence as I decided to open my eyes. I saw everything, I'm in a bedroom with a king size bed, and a very dark room that only illuminated by the sunset outside the veranda. It's a complete furniture here, there's a chair, couch, side tables, pictures on the wall, a little chandelier, off lamps and bookshelf.
I only feel her erratic breathing and constantly stroking my hair.
"The end is near, Stacie." She whispered. I frowned because of the statement. I remember the girl who told me the same. She's dead.
"What do you mean.." I whispered back. Seconds later, she pulled back and I finally saw her face. A beautiful face of sadness which I have no idea of why she's with me at the moment, but I never felt any regret of being with her either right now. I don't know why. I feel safe and warm even my robe disregard on my body.
"She will kill me if she knew I'm the t-traitor. It's not my intention at all. I'm so loyal to them, I never imagine myself betraying them until the enemy mentioned you." It's very dark now but I could see the tears falling from her eyes. Eyes of regrets and agonies. "I stayed in silence for years of not bothering you because if I did, your parents would kill me." I felt her arms around my neck again as she leaned on my forehead. Closing her eyes. "I know this is confusing. I know it'll hard to believe but you loved me. You loved me so much that it became forbidden. Stacie, I don't know if it's possible or not but I want you to remember that they cleared your mind, all the memories you have with me. When we're child until we get our damn puberty. Before Emily came in the group, you're the great chemist of mafia. You're entitled as Aphrodite because you're the most attractive-
I pulled back on her and looked at the other side of the room to avoid her gaze. "I don't get it. What's with my parents? You're saying they are lying to me?" I sternly asked.
"I'm sorry but I'm telling the truth." She sternly said on me. Her eyes is full of determination. Suddenly she stood up from my lap while closing her flannel. She's only wearing a black flannel and a blue lace panty. "You wanna go home, right?"
I didn't answer. I just stared at her. Examining every move she does. "I'm confused." I said. Yes. I'm very confused right now. I don't want to go home without knowing what's the meaning of what she said and at the same time I wanna go home because my parents might be worried about me. Especially Cassy. "What do you want? Why are you doing this?"
"I want you to runaway with me-
"That's impossible."
"Isn't?" She smirked and put the chair in front of me and sat there. "You wanna know the truth about you?"
Do I really need to know the truth? We're very simple family. A peaceful family. Cassy and I are studying, my mom and dad has a stable work.
And I'm so terrified to know that I'm living with lies.
"Anyway. How's your daughter?" She asked that made me frowned.
What?
"Daughter? I don't have a kid. What are you talking about?"
"Oh. They didn't tell you about that? Anyway, I'll explain why I told you that. Before that Donald or whom ever boy you were with before me, you're with me and then Justin. Do you know the traitor Justin? Justin Austria." She chuckled playfully. "Of course not. That jerk is a traitor along with my mother who's influenced by Genesis. My mom has an affair to their mafia boss. And that's how she died. No one inside the mafia know my story except one who saw everything." She paused as if examining me if I know who was she telling me. "My mom tattled about our relationship to destroy your mind after the mafia knew she has an affair and your family almost die because of you. So the mafia kicked you along with your family out of the mansion and threaten them that if they didn't drug you up, you all would die. They can't drug me coz I'm the brain of the mafia. While you're still on drug, he, that fucking Justin got you pregnant to destroy me." She purred. It's already dark here but I can still see her figure, her eyes. "Cassandra is your daughter. That's why she's also Conrad, not because of your father but because of you."
[A/N: okay. So I'm already writing the spin off of this two. Entitled: Tied Up For You. Well, that's a BDSM for showcasing Aphrodite's skill. I'll also show you what's inside the Barden Mansion. Basically no Bechloe like if Bechloe is not a thing in pp1 there's no Chloe at pp2. All but Staubrey only and secrets inside the Barden Mansion. I already done 3 chapters lol.]
I don't know what to say.
"That can't be." I whispered then suddenly she kneel in front of me. Caressing my knees.
"Stacie. I'm telling the truth but if you're doubting me. You can know it by yourself.. I'm just waiting." She sighed. "I have everything we need. I just need you. I'm just waiting for you. My end is near. The mafia is about to end. Another month, Stacie. Text me anytime. But the last day I'll be at Atlanta will be before summer. It's either I'm dead or you're with me."
"Why do you... why do we need to go? Why you need to die? You can stay. Explain to me everything."
"You won't believe in me especially when they intend to kill me."
"But why?"
"Because I chose you." She whined and started to cry.
"What do you mean?"
"Genesis, the enemy knew everything. They made me choose when I was with the 5 of you. While you were sleeping, they talked to me while there's a knife on your throat.." She sobbed as she leaned on my knees. "Stacie, I can't choose them over you and witness you hurt or die because of me."
"Aubrey.. why?"
"Because I love you!" She roared as she stared at me. "I betrayed my own family because of you and I can bare with that if you'll just stay with me. I'm dead for years Stacie, I died when you're gone. Then I will know, you transferred Barden. I'm surprised. Of course, they allow you. Maybe because no one knows you except me, Beca and Jessica. At first, I thought it was you, the intruder but when I talked to your boyfriend, I envy him to the point that.. that.. he needs to.. But that's not the case here, maybe they didn't remember you but I do. Every single day I'm thinking of you. It's a new generation of mafia so they doesn't know you. They became my friends, friends that was forbidden before, I hooked up with the great mafia boss who allowed everything, because she wanted to. Then I'll discover that you're with that Donald, I'm so broken and was at the edge of giving up. I fucked up so much. I hooked up with anyone. I basically waste my life, I tried bringing back the sensation boss was giving me because I'm bored but she turned me down coz she likes someone. I'm enjoying to mess with them but she's getting pissed of me. Then I basically alone again. Depressed. Wreck. And broken for the nth time. I'm worst. I became worst when I saw you making out with Emily. You can't hook with two fishes hon. So I decided to threaten Donald to leave you. And he luckily did but Emily got his spot and it's a total fucked up for me. Why her? She's a sex addict, Stacie! She hooked up with a lot of people! Then kill them after she used them! Break their bones into pieces, put them in a barrel and melt them into liquid. She's not entitled as Zeus for nothing. I saved you from her."
"You're lying." I mumbled but she just laughed crazily. Tears still running on her cheeks.
"You still don't know what you can do, love." Her eyes darken as she looked up on me. "Aphrodite has her own knowledge about pleasuring people. Aside from our red room, you have your own dark room. And that's how you made everyone turned their heads to you. I really have a lot of working to watch you do your work and that made me crazy." She husked. "I don't know how I will get back on your space but I'll do one way or another. Just let me."
"I can't imagine what you're saying. Wait. You're saying I'm also a sex enthusiast?"
"If that's what you think it is." I didn't speak again.
I know, I'd love sex a lot but hearing it from a stranger that I think I hang out thrice is unbelievable. I'm still denial coz I can control myself for fuck sake.
"That's ridiculous." I scoffed but she just glared at me. Then few seconds later she chuckled and stood up. Leaning on me so she could stare directly to my eyes, hands on her bare thigh for support.
"For now, you will go home. You won't tell anyone about what I told you," I looked away from her blue eyes as I felt her warm breath on my mouth but that's a wrong move. She leaned closer to my ear and hands on my thigh. Squeezing it. "..you won't tell anyone about me.. coz if you did. I'll force you to remember me or.." She nibbled my ear than made me shut my eyes close. "...forget everyone." She continued what she was doing on my neck. Kissing, licking and sucking on it as I couldn't help but to moan on her ministration. Everything she had said was totally not entering my mind yet because of the not so new sensation that I feel right now.
Then suddenly, without warning Aubrey pulled my face to face her. She stared at my eyes down to my lips which made me do the same to her lips. My erratic breathing brought me to the edge of moving forward to Aubrey and meet her luscious lips. I kissed her. It was just slow, tender and full of passion that I respond with a same sensation. I wanted to touch her but the restrain in my hand says no and I want more so I added a slight force as I deeper the kiss. She slightly moan in my mouth, her fingers traveled through my jaw and neck back and forth and abruptly grip at the back of my head to pulled me closer. Her other hand traveled up to my face. Suddenly, I accidentally slipped my tongue on her parted lips that made her gasp but later bit my bottom lip as a response. She smirked as I groaned but I just leaned back towards her to capture her lips again, this time I didn't let her to pull back when she tried, I just bit her lip and slightly pulled it back to mine which created a lovely whimpering noise from her, I smiled at her and licked her bottom lip to ease the pain I made and thrust my tongue to her parted lips which she gratefully accepted and gently sucked. Later on, we're having an open mouth kisses like we're not going to lose air that became more heated as she added more force and full of domination that made me leaned towards the chair and my head moved up as she move sloppy above my head while we're making out.
"Dammit." I muttered between kissing her back.
Minutes later, we stopped to catch our own breathing. Her face on the crook of my neck, when I felt her hand moved to pull back, I immediately tilted my head towards her and bit her collar to stop her. She stopped from moving, and looked at me. I shook my head. She just giggled.
"You want more?" She purred that made me shiver. I pulled her closer and moved my nose on her jaw, I know it's crazy but I want more. I really want more. There's a restrain on my hands but I'll never restrain what I feel right now. I slightly nodded to tell her yes but she just smirked. "Say it." She demanded.
"Oh god, just fucking touch me!" I said as I vigorously tugged on the handcuffs and whimpered at the pain.
"I never made you beg me my entire life honey." She whispered as she pulled back. I hissed at the sudden loss of contact.
"Fuck you." I cussed her. She just laughed as she walk towards her drawer.
"Remember everything I told you. I know you're smart enough to remember it." She reminded as she was done getting something and walked towards me. She leaned on me again and I was about to kiss her when she step back. "You'll only kiss me again if you runaway with me." She smiled but it immediately faded with what I replied.
"What if I don't?" She lowered her eyes. Sadness can see into her eyes.
"Goodbye then." She mumbled.
"Look, I still don't get the point. Yeah, let's say you love me. Fine. But how can I be sure of that? That if I runaway with you I'll be fine? Will I be seeing my parents again? What's the deal? What if I didn't remember anything and find out you're lying? And you just want to take advantage of my weakness? Tell me."
"Listen, it's really up to you. I will not risk my life for nothing. I will not risk my family and friends for nothing. Stacie, I'm telling the truth and it's really up to you if you're going with me." She said that made me calm. "But I hope, you chose me." She finally looked at me. "I love you and I always do." Then she covered my face with a handkerchief.
And everything went black.
Third Person's POV
Stacie got home with someone accompanied her. She knows him but she can't remember where did she saw him before. The man told her to act normal when the days goes by so she did.
She doesn't know how the guy knew her home but it's not important. The important is she's safe and kicking. The only thing she needs to do now is to observe every little detail of her life.
When she entered home, she saw her mom, Amanda Conrad cooking for their dinner. She sat on their kitchen table, her mom heard the movement so she turns around and saw her daughter smiling at her. She smiled back.
"Hey Anastasia." Her mom called and giggled at the name. Stacie playfully rolled her eyes. "You look better huh?" She turns around and went back on cooking.
"I always look better mom." Stacie bragged while smiling. She looked carefully to her mom.
Her mom was an accountant in a bank while her dad was a policeman. They went home every night after their shift. Stacie doesn't doubt it before but when she thinks right now about why her mom and dad wants her to be a chemist, it is saying that the girl she was with earlier is right.
"Anyway mom, where's Cassy?"
"She's upstair sweetie. Maybe you can take a shower first before your dad came so we can eat together, what do you think?"
"Of course. Okay," She got up. "I'll be right back." And walked upstairs.
She observes the house carefully. Not wanting to look weird so while she's walking, her eyes are moving. Their basement is already abandoned. She never went there before because she's a total naive of what's happening but now that she has a clue, she felt that there's something downstairs.
She looked at the picture frames. One with the family picture at the center, her mom and dad together, she and Cassy together.
She can't imagine that Cassy came from her. That her little sister was her daughter.
She shook her head and proceeded to her room.
After she took a shower and wore clothes, she went back to their kitchen and help her mom to prepare foods. She saw her dad at the dining table, still wearing his uniform.
When they are already eating, Stacie can't help but to think how perfect they are right now. Her mom and dad telling the family what were they doing on their work, Cassy telling what she had learned at school and how she excels.
"How 'bout you Stacie?" Her dad asked then gulped his water. "You went to parlor?"
"No dad. I told you yesterday that I have a shoot today so I need some little make over to went through. But I went to some.. research so my shoot cancelled." She lightly smiled.
"What research is that?" Cassy asked curiously while eating her meal.
"I think that research is worthy than your shoot." Her dad commented.
"Yes." Stacie agreed without looking at her dad. "I think so." She fake smiled.
After they eat, Stacie does the dishes and brushed Cassy's teeth.
Then they went to the living room to watch TV. Stacie and Cassy tickled each other until Cassy gets tired and sleepy. Stacie brought Cassy to her bed and led her to sleep. When she made sure her little sister slash daughter was already sleeping, she went back to the living to spend the rest of the time watching TV. Her mom and dad was not already there, maybe they're already sleeping too.
She looked at the wall clock. It's just 9 pm. Too early to sleep for her.
She flipped the channel many times and saw nothing that will satisfy her eyes.
After a moment, she thought of something. She took her phone and went in front of the stairs down the basement. She gulped as she saw the door through it. There's a blurred window glasses beside the door so you could see how dark inside. She slowly walked downstair and when she reached the front door of the basement, she let out a heavy sighed. She didn't know why she felt nervous, her trembling hand slowly grip the doorknob and spinned it.
But it's lock.
She sighed and give up. She realized that it's not yet the right time. It's night and dark, maybe she can go there in morning.
She went upstairs and bumped someone.
Her dad.. Mister David Conrad.
"H-Hey dad." Stacie greeted nervously.
"What are you doing downstair?" Her dad suspiciously asked. He's already wearing his usual shirt and shorts.
"Uhm." Stacie hummed while thinking something relevant. "I.. uh fell my phone down there." Her dad looked at her phone with narrow eyebrows. She also looked at her phone frantically. "I just fell it in 4th step dad."
Her dad looked at her for a while before speaking again. "Okay. Just be careful the next time okay?"
"Okay."
"Now go to your room and sleep." Her dad said and kissed her head. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight." She said and went upstairs. She mumbled 'fuck' as she went inside her room.
She laid her back to her bed and sigh heavily. Her nervousness still raging on her body as her dad's face of suspicion tattooing on her mind.
She almost jumped on her bed when she heard her phone rang.
"What the hell is happening to me?" She muttered and reached for her phone.
Unknown number is calling.
She raised her brows as she looked at it and hesitately answer it.
"Conrad speaking. Who's this?" She asked and she heard a so-girly-chuckle on the other line.
"Hi Conrad. I'm your lover. What's up?"
"Drop that. Why did you call?"
"I missed you." She said in a very sweet voice. Stacie taken aback at what she heard and take a moment to realize it. She hissed as a response.
"I'm already sleeping and you'll only say you missed me? Seriously?" She said in fury. She needs to play hard to get so the girl would be interested to her more.
"Sorry. I'm just checking you if you're okay. Bye.."
"Wait up jerk." She immediately said. "Oh fuck." She abruptly said when she realized her action.
"What is it?"
"I'm doing my investigation now." Stacie said as she laid her stomach flat at her bed. She knew that it's a bad idea to know the truth but she can't shrug the idea of her living with lies.
"Oh."
"But it doesn't mean I'm going to runaway with you." She said in a determine voice. "I just wanna know the truth."
"Okay." The other line almost whispered.
"You can hang up now." Stacie peevishly said.
"Why don't you hang up?" The other line retorted lazily.
"Fine." Stacie sighed and hang up. She put her phone on her side table and let her back fall into her bed again. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep.
The next day, she went to school and passed by Emily who was flirting with some unknown boy. They are laughing, she just rolled her eyes and proceed to the Photography Club.
When she came there, she saw a familiar figure of a guy she was with yesterday who accompanied her home. The figure turned around and looked at her.
Now she remembered where did she first met the guy.
It's same with the guy who asked her to walk with her in the van where did he kidnap her.
She was about to approach him when a girl exactly came out of the Photography Club that caught her attention. She immediately approached it.
"Hey." She approached the girl with eye glasses and folders in arms. The girl just gave her a look and looked behind her, making sure it was her.
"Me?"
"Yeah. I just wanna ask something."
"I'm busy." She was about to walk again when Stacie grasped on her arm. The nerdy girl looked at her hand who's holding her so Stacie pulled her hand back to her side.
"Sorry. I'm Stacie Conrad if you can't remember."
"Stacie... Conrad? Uh." She repeated. "Sorry I didn't recognize you. What is it?"
"Am I still one of the models?" Stacie whispered that made the other girl's stern face changed into frowning.
"No. I heard you're not here yesterday so it's automatically disqualification. I'm sorry." She apologized.
"Oh my god. Okay. But I'm the muse. Is there anything that I can do about that so I could participate in the event?" Stacie desperately asked.
"You can be one of the judges but! I'm not the one who will going to decide and have an approval. Go to the SSC and ask them." She explained.
"Okay thanks." Stacie gratefully said and watch her go away. She sighed and turned around.
As she turned around, she bumped a chest so she abruptly step backward to see who's the stupid guy.
"What the hell?" Stacie exclaimed. It's the guy who kidnapped her.
"You're friend with Chloe Beale, right?" He asked intently looking at Stacie. Stacie just raised her eyebrow at the guy.
"Who are you?"
"Let's just say, I'm Chloe Beale's ex boyfriend." He smirked.
