JANE'S POVThe car door open for me to get in just as I get to it. I sit quietly at the back seat as the driver starts the car. Beside me was the guard I frequently see with Alex. After a long time of paying attention to just Alex and not the man beside him, I now take proper look at him.His small eyes and chubby cheeks which looked like they needed some fat burn, along with his arms. His bald head which shone under the sun and his brown skin which radiated in the light. He was too good looking and fleshy to be a guard and even with his chubby physique he still looked like he could take a well body built enemy of Alex, down."You're a lot of headache to my boss." "He deserves it." I don't deny the fact that I did stress Alex alot but then, I stopped, right? I accepted my fate, I accepted my attraction towards him and look where it got me. Deflowered and Disregarded. "You could always run if you're tired."I pause to give him a side eye before turning my head to fully look at him.
JANE'S POVMy eyes shut close as the warm water from the shower hit my skin. I take my time in the bathroom to bathe and escape reality. Unfortunately, I can't run and hide for too long. As much as I want to stay in here for as long as I can, I step out of the bathroom to get dressed. My eyes narrow at the piece of paper held down by a box on the table. I didn't remove the box and just read the note right there on the table. 'Get dressed. We are leaving in 30 minutes.'My brows furrow and my lips squeeze into a frown. I take the note and tear it before moving over to my clothes to get dressed into shorts and a tank top. So demanding. So commanding. No detail but an authoritative note demanding my obedience. Bullshit.Two days since I confronted him. Two days since I visited Clara and he's yet to say a word to me. He's nothing but a heartless being who doesn't care how I feel even after I swallowed my pride and approached him about it.I would be mad to dress up and follow him wher
JANET'S POV.My hand move fast on the keyboard. I have to get this paper work done with before it clocks 7PM.I can't help but smile as I think of Collins. He's been acting off but surprisingly, yesterday, he suggested we go on a date today. He also bought me an outfit to wear for the date, which is something he hasn't done for a while now.I know his attitude towards me lately has been off and on but I think he's just stressed out because of his parents issues and his search for a new job. I try to make him feel okay and comfortable with the fact that I have a job and he doesn't but unfortunately, that only seems to worsen the situation. We end up arguing which makes him stay away for days. When he comes back, he's in a good mood and then out of the blue, he gets angry again. He seems to have a talent of making something out of nothing. I look away from my laptop as my phone buzzes. I pick it up immediately when I see Clara's message. Her message was a reply from the text is sent he
I run into my room and shut the door closed. I angrily take off my shoes and throw them anywhere as I fall to the floor.Now that I'm inside, I can't hold it anymore. I cry out. I don't want to believe Collins cheated on me. I don't want to believe these nine months were for nothing. I pull at my hair and cry harder. I wonder how long he has been doing this behind my back. How long he has been fucking her. Who knows, she may not even be the only one. I feel like a fool. I feel disgusted with myself. He has been using those lips on mine. To me he is my boyfriend, but what am I to him?His side chick?Or someone he lets out his anger on?Wow, my self respect.I won't be okay with myself, staying here. I know he'll come to me and I really don't want to face him. At least, not now.I don't give it second thought. I don't even want to. He cheated on me or he's cheating on me, whatever. There's no excuse to justify that. I wipe my tears and raise myself from the floor to grab my bag so
ALEXANDER'S POV."What should I do to him, boss?"I smirk at the helpless guy in the video call. He's so young and penniless, just like his father. I doubt he's going to make a difference in his life any year from now. He'll end up ageing and wasting his life. I turn to the old man beside me, tied to a chair looking helplessjust like his son in the video call. "It's regrettable. Your son has to pay for your sins. The pleasure it gives me to know I have so much power on other people, is unexplainable. He struggles on his chair, humming and trying to speak. "Mmm mmm." He shakes his head, continuously. "So tell me, what should I do with him.""Mmm mmm." He shakes his head 'no'."I'm sorry, I can't hear you." He puts in more effort to speak through his sealed lips. "Pardon." I bring my ear close to his lips. I smirk, not understanding what's he's saying. I move away from his face and stare at him as he struggles. His vulnerability make me let out a short laugh."There." I point at the
The knock on my door makes me drop my phone and roll my chair forward. "Come in." Seth walks in and bows as usual. "Boss, Collins Fisher is here.""Let him in." I instruct. He walks away and shut the door. Soon, he's back into the office with Collins behind him. "Sit." I say sternly.I could tell he was afraid but he was making little effort to hide it and control himself. He sits opposite me as ordered. I study him as he looks at Seth then checks out my office before landing his eyes on me. "You want us to lend you a huge sum of money." I state, not question, but irregardless, he nods.Before today, Seth told me about another client who wants to borrow money from us just like that old man. I couldn't attend the meeting then because I had something more important to do. More like an issue to handle. Now seeing him, I'm interested. Who knows, he might end up in hell just like that old man. Time will tell."I'm sure you've read the contract and agree to the terms and conditions.""Ye
JANE'S POV. I currently look like a mess. My baggy red eyes, bad breath, dried skin and dirty body. It's going to two days since Collins locked me in this room. I've been on the floor, hugging my knees, crying nonstop. I couldn't sleep last night. How could I when I don't know what Collins motive is? God knows what he is up to. He has never been this way, right? or I was just the one who failed to see this side of him. How disgusting of him to propose a date to me, while he was cheating behind my back. Now, he keeps me locked in this room, leaving me clueless about his intentions. My biggest fear now, is the monster I saw him turn into just yesterday and my gut feeling might be right that I'm not safe at all here. I shouldn't wait to experience it before I believe it. I should start thinking of how to escape from here and Collins. Clara. She's the only one who can help me now. She has always helped me in difficult situations, so she won't stop now. At least, not on such occasion.
"Jane." Clara shakes me. "Jane." I slowly open my eyes to see that the car has stopped. I sit up and look outside the car to see a tall glass building, which is nothing like Clara's house. "Where are we?" I ask in a tired tone."At an hotel. I thought, that if you stay at my house, Collins will find you easily. So, here we are."I nod and follow behind her, out of the car into the hotel, after paying the driver. We check in and go straight to our rooms. "You should shower first."I nod and do as told, clueless on what to wear after my shower.I put on the hotel robe after my shower and walk out."Here. I packed some clothes." I smile lightly at her and take the shirt and shorts from her hand. "Thanks.""Do you want to talk about it?"She asks calmly but I don't reply her and keep dressing. I hear her sigh before walking past me into the bathroom. Exhausted and tired, I climp onto the bed to continue my sleep. I don't fail to shed few tears before forcing myself to sleep.~"Jane
