I Was Just the Side Chick

Chapter 21

Aria's POV

"If I can't help falling in love with you. Like a river flows..." I sang softly to my babies as they fell asleep in my arms. I managed to convince Nefi ( that's what I call Nefarious since we've become 'friends') to let me keep my children with me at all times. Hell, I managed to convince her to bring us back to the house. Hopefully, Michael comes home soon. I hope he noticed the messages I left him on the back of my phone a couple of days ago.

Michael's POV

A red note at the back of the phone Ari's phone case read 'If I don't have my phone and your finding this I've probably finally been kidnapped so, in that case, I'll be in three places Michael's home, my house or at the warehouse. But from what I've learned from tv shows I'll probably be taken to where I am most often, Michael's house as bait (or for convincing). Find address on the back. Just in case this ever happens I got installed a double glass window that has silent glass when it hits our soft tiles. (sorry mike baby, if this is you finding this, that's what I used my 5k bday money on.) Break in on the kitchen side through the window and turn on the high frequency outside. But it only will last for a while minute so work fast. If it's the right frequency, and I'm with my babies only they should be able to hear it. Over the babies crying from the annoying sound, you'd now have the advantage of using a weapon of your choice. If you can't find one, I put one near the window to the garden the silent gun in the top draw. Good luck and I hope you save me in time before it is too late..."

Reading those last words gave me chills. Of course, I was going to make it in time I thought to myself I wouldn't let anything happen to her or our children.

Aria's POV

"So why are you convinced so much that he will search here first?" Nefi said pacing bouncing the hammer in her hand.

"He just knows where to look. He's smart you know you're always doubting him" I sat up one of the twins preparing to burp them and put them to sleep. (btw from the last two chapters the babies are not five months but they almost are Michael was exaggerating).

"Girl you must think I'm playing, if he doesn't come within the next five hours ima kill your stupid ass with all these riddles," she said impatiently.

"Girl as if you'd put your hands on me. I managed to convince you to bring me back here." I placed my baby in the car seat in front of me and I crossed my arms and gave her attitude.

She stopped pacing and looked me dead in the eyes. Her stare was so intense I couldn't look away and yet, I was folding cowardly. I held my posture and confidence for as long as I could before she looked away. I let out a breath but low enough that she couldn't hear it. The last thing I needed was her thinking that she scared me.

"Has anyone ever told you, you have a big mouth Aria? I suggest you watch what you say next because staring you down will not be all I do next time... I might put an axe in your head or hmmm maybe your babies." Her eyes lit up in the evilest way. I couldn't help but feel as though I should have shut my mouth in the first place but then here I went again.

"But if you kill me or the babies, Michael wouldn't want anything to do with you. He'd probably kill you too." I covered my mouth instantly regretting what I said. Still holding the hammer Nefarious lunged at me but she was stopped in mid movement by the shrieking cries of the once asleep twins. That could only mean one thing someone was here to save me. I couldn't help but get a little  happy.

"Why did they both start crying like that?"

I didn't respond. "You set a trap didn't you?"

"Wha- what?" She aggressively pulled on my arm forcing me to stand up or land flat on my face. I stood up gripping onto my babies with dear life.

"You little bitch you think your smart huh?" I whimpered at her tone, and how she was squeezing the life out of my arm.

"No I-"

"Shut up before I slap the shit out of you." She began to drag me out of the room with Jess closely behind.

"Nefi let go of me!" I tried to pull away but it only hurt the more I tried.

"Shut the fuck up." She spat "Now where's the safe room."

"Wha-what? What are you talking about?"

"Don't make me angry. Where is the room that Michael takes you to if there are intruders."

"I don't know. We never got there last time before you a-at-attacked."

"Girl please if I wanted to attack I would have done much worse."

"But you did attack that day when I was still pregnant you broke into our home"

"Michael's home and no I never did that. I planned to always get you where you could see me. I don't ever hide." She said matter of factly.

"I-I don't understand. I chuckled a little. Mike told me it was you... he was so sure."

"Well sorry to burst your bubble but I hadn't even planned what I wanted to do yet"

"I-"
Nah 'cause why would she tell me that.

"Michael has a lot of enemies including some crazy exes who literally stalk him and makes sure he is with no one else type thing. They would literally kill him."

"But aren't you his ex too?"

"Yea- no cuz we...we didn't really ever date. We just had se-"

"Yeah that's enough I'm holding kids here." I put my hand up to stop her.

"Did you just shush me?"

"Yes and what? I really don't care about the relationship you two had." This was all I needed to hear to know she pathetically wanted him just as much as these other exs. But dang Michael why so many?

She pushed me into the room while I still held on to my babies. "Yo can you chill? I'm literally moving."

"Shhh. Okay stop. Sit on this chair." As soon as I sat she told me to stand up again. "Strip."

"What? No!" I was shocked that she was even asking me to do that. Like I felt disgusted.

"Aria...right now!" She looked me in the eyes and I could see the anger building up.

I sighed and removed the babies from one side and placed the blanket on my shoulder onto the floor, and grabbed cushions to place around them. I gently placed them in the middle of it. They fussed and started to cry. As I watched them squirm uncomfortably I held back my own tears as I removed my clothes down to my bra and shorts. "Please don't hurt me" I whispered while my heart sank.

"No don't take off anymore" she put her hand up to stop me. "Come here" she put her hand out for me to hold but I kept my hands by my side. She gripped my waist and pulled me to the chair in the far corner of the room away from everything. Away from my babies.

"Sit here and be quiet." She started to take off her belt. I watched in horror. I was not about to let this happen. "Please I'll do whatever you want but not this." My babies screamed louder and I was feeling like I was going crazy. I kept protesting as she finally took it off completely. My heart sank to my stomach.

She put my hands behind me back and tied my hands together using the holes in chair to attach it at the same time.

Who do you think invaded their home?
