CHAPTER THREE

Clinton said before jumping on the men and lending another punch in the mens face.

“Clinton stop. Please!” I panicked, of course the security mens ran and separated them. Jack was not even defending himself; he just kept cursing. 

“Fuck bro. What the fuck. Shit,” as he cleaned his blood.

“What is going on here? Jessie to my office now,” my boss ordered, I was surely going to lose my job now as Jack was his biggest client.

“No, my wife is coming home with me,” Clinton said as he held my wrist tight that he was hurting me now.

“Well if I’m not spending time with her then I would like a refund,” Jack said, from his voice you could tell he was angry.

“No no no no, Jessie is not the only companion we have, we have a lot you can even choose to have five at the same time,” My boss begged, knowing him too well he will never give a refund especially because the money was a lot.

“I’m not interested in any other girl, like I told you she is the reason I come here, it’s either she stays with me and finishes the night or I leave with my refund,” He threatened, I could see my boss panicking.

“Fine you finish the night with her,” he said and turned to me.

“Get back to work Jessie.”

“She’s not getting back to anything, I said she’s leaving with me right this instant in fact she quit.” 

“What?” Both my boss and me said in unison, 

“Jessie?” My boss sounded shocked but almost like begging me.

“I’m so sorry boss I’ll sort this out and get back to you right now,” I said as I turned my attention to Jack, Clinton was still holding my hand.

“Mr Jack I’m sorry for the inconvenience but I’ll not be working today, I’ll continue tomorrow,” I apologized.

“You don’t need to go with him, I can give you whatever you want just stay,” Jack pleaded.

Jack was a lonely man. He was single as his wife slept with his best friend and now they were getting a divorce. That’s what I’ve learned from talking to him.

“Jack please, we will sort this out,” I pleaded.

“Alright,” he sighed and walked towards me in an attempt to hug me but Clinton blocked his way. What have I gotten myself into?

“I’ll see you around, and you can keep the money,” he said and my boss thanked him. I could see how relieved he was seeing that Jack asked him to keep the money.

As Jack disappeared I followed my boss to the office after calmly asking Clinton to wait for me, he gave me ten minutes.

“When did you get married?” My boss sounded angry.

“I don’t know, I mean I’m not sure if I’m even married to him,” I stuttered.

“Listen, you’re a potential here, most clients come here because of you but I’ll not have people fighting in my club for you, it could ruin my business if you don’t sort this out then I’ll have to let you go.”

“It will not repeat itself sir,”

“Good, now I’m giving you off to go fix whatever issue with that man, with your job marriage is not advisable but if he’s willing then no problem as long as you don’t come with a ring on your finger. You'll resume with work tomorrow,” he said I thanked him then went to the dressing room and changed into comfortable clothes.

Going back to the bar I was shocked to see Loren sitted on Clinton’s lap. She was entertaining him and he seemed to be enjoying it. Don’t get me wrong I wasn’t jealous, just shocked by her behavior, I know this was her job but I told her I was married to him. 

I cleared my throat to get their attention which worked as they both pulled away.

“Jessie will give you my number,” Loren shamelessly said and he nodded — what the hell? I pulled Loren aside and whispered in her ear.

“What are you doing?”

“Getting a chance, isn’t he sexy?”

“What? No he’s not.”

“Then let me be the judge of it,” she said, knowing Loren I knew she could make him fall for her; she had the skills to do so as I learned from her.

“He’s my husband,” I said, not meaning it— just trying to get her reaction.

“But you don’t want him, please if he asks for my number give it to him,” she said,

“You don’t know how lucky you are,” she added before hugging me to say goodbye. 

“You’re crazy. You have a boyfriend,” I reminded her, she just smiled as she pulled away then winked at Clinton.

“See you around, gorgeous,” she said before walking away — she was literally flirting with him.

Clinton and I walked out of the club with his hand tight on my wrist, his grip increased when we passed by men, I was shocked that they didn’t try to approach me or do funny things. They clearly feared him. 

Arriving at his car I was bewildered by the realization of him not having guards, most billionaire’s move with bodyguards.

“So how did this happen? I mean the marriage thing,” I asked as soon as we were both in the car.

“Really?” He asked in disbelief.

“Yes really? I mean you just showed up here as my husband.”

“You didn’t see the marriage certificate and where’s your ring?” He was unbelievable.

“Listen clearly whatever happened was a mistake, I was drunk or something we..”

“I don’t believe in mistakes,” he cut in, I could feel his stare so I slowly looked at him to confirm and that’s when our eyes met.

“I believe this is destiny, we are destined to be together,” he said as he moved his lips close to mine, now they were just inches from each other as he leaned in closer. I closed my eyes and my lips ready only for him to pull away right at that moment.

“We are going home,” he said,

“What no. I have a life. You need to drop me to my apartment or I can order a ride.” 

“Love we are going home, we are married remember,” he reminded and started the car. There was nothing much I could do as I knew men, I just had to wait for him to calm down but still not able to control my mouth words slipped out, “I don’t want to be married to you, I’ll file for a divorce,” I said but he didn’t respond. 

Now that Jade was back in my life I didn’t want to complicate it by adding his uncle.

I remained calm and made notes in my head of how I was going to explain I had a fiancé. Just when I thought he was not going to respond he started talking.

“You know you’re really funny, you walked to me and told me you were ready to even marry me. I asked that we get to know each other but you refused, you said you wanted to do what your ex did and now after marriage you think you can just toss me aside, I’m not your fucking toy,” he sounded angry, I didn’t respond as he was driving.

“You’re stuck with me now,” he added before he sped up. 

Finally the car came to halt signaling our arrival, back at his penthouse.

“Welcome home, love,” he was really getting on my nerves.

As we got out I had no choice but to follow him behind as the main gate was locked.

“Listen I’m just 21, I can’t be married to you, you’re probably my fathers mate,” I argued as we walked up the stairs.

“I’m not that old,” he said with an evil smile on his face. 

“I know there’s a woman out there who wants a man like you, but that woman is not me.”

“Who? your friend and I must tell you she’s quite boring compared to you, do you even know why I married you?” Now there he caught my attention.

“Why?” I asked now curious of why he married me, he just chuckled and unlocked the door, he let me go in first and followed behind me. 

I was about to say something when he suddenly pinned me against the wall, his nose now sniffing my neck while his hands explored my waist.

“You have a sexy body, just perfect,”  he said it against my ear, he brought his face to mine now our lips just inches from each other, he was breathing heavily that his breath fanned my lips. 

“I have a boyfriend,” I said out loud hoping he pulled away but he didn’t, he instead leaned in even closer, his breath fanning my lips and our noses kissing. 

I looked away but couldn’t move as not only was he holding me but trapped me, he stood in a position where it was impossible for me to escape. The worst part was my legs , they betrayed me as I couldn’t feel them.
