ALEXANDER'S POV I scroll through social media as everyone take their respective seats. Right now, I seem to be the only one less bothered about interacting or making all possible means to win.I know I will. There are no two ways about it. I always get what I put my mind into. I planned while they slept, now I'm going to win while they plan.The auctioneer says one or two things before going straight to the business of the day. "We'll start at 10 million." He announced."16 million." A man far from me is the first to bid."18 million." A lady behind me says.I don't raise my head to see the biders. I keep going through my phone, yet paying close attention to how the auction is going."Come on. Don't hesitate. It's worth bu...""21 million." Another lady interrupts him by saying."Sir, aren't you going to bid?" Seth asks, curious at my silence."I believe you trust me better than to be questioning me.""But boss..." I raise my index finger to shut him up."Collins." I look up at him.
JANE'S POV I cry profusely next to the strange man who bought me at the auction. I meant to run away. I meant to run to Clara. I meant to start afresh after Collins but it was always one problem to the other. First my father, then Collins then to James and Carlo Gigante. Now, I'm in the hands of a strange man.It's like I'm destined to be kidnapped. Destined to never have my freedom.I've always tried to have a good life after the death of my mother but I've never been lucky from the start. Life keeps throwing challenges my way and I don't even know if I should give up or go with the flow of things.For sure, I can't just stop here. At least I have to give up in a better situation than this. How can I give up in the hands of a stranger. In the hands of a man I've never met in my life. In the hands of a man who is ill mannered enough to bid for a lady. To make her his property. A lady who has her own dreams and wants nothing but to be free, happy and be proud.Unfortunately I'm that
ALEXANDER'S POV I walk out of Jane's room with my hands in my pockets as I make my way to my office. I sit behind my desk before making a call to Seth.I stare at my desk thinking of the successful auction and Janet. I'm glad I have her. I acquired her by my own means, not because of Collins. So yes, I'm glad I'll have another coward to torture. Torturing that old man only, is turning into a boring activity. I need someone new like Collins, to add.Janet on the other hand...now, that I think of it, I don't know what to do with her. I have her at my possession but have no use for her...yet.She seems soft and gullible. She'll be an easy one to control of course, except she decides otherwise, but that's no worry, cause I got her covered. My office door opens and Seth walks in. "Boss.""How did it go?""We finished the job. No soul working for Carlo nor Carlo Gigante himself, was spared." I nod for him to go on. "The other guards collected our stolen weapons while we finished them off
Jane's POVI snap my eyes open and abruptly stand up, when I realize I had slept off. Shit. I planned to escape from this place as soon as I was aware everyone is asleep. But instead, I joined them in the dream world.I quickly walk to the curtain to see that it's still a bit dark outside. I sigh in relief knowing that the devil and his guards should still be very much asleep. I turn to look up of the wall at the clock, to see it's 5:27am. I huff and walk to my door. It unexpectedly opened. I expected them to lock me in here since I was brought here out of my own will. The door might not be locked but going out through it was impossible. I stare with wide eyes at the guards who turn to look at me. They are both standing on each side of the door staring at me with raised brows. I fake a wide smile in embarrassment that I've been caught. I quickly shut the door and walk to and fro in the room, thinking of what I should do now.Why are they there? Don't they sleep? It's frustrating
I made use of the aloe shampoo in the bathroom to wash my hair after brushing my teeth with the spare toothbrush I had found in one of the drawers. The liquid bathing soap smelt of vanilla, was nice and refreshing. I haven't taken a proper satisfying bath since I was captured by Carlo. It felt good to feel this clean again.I had picked a knee length knicker with a plane polo shirt to wear. There were shorts, rompers and some below the knee dresses, but I didn't like the idea of walking round the house with men positioned at every corner of the house.I put on my shirt without bothering for a bra since I didn't have one and there was no spare in the wardrobe. Even if there was, I couldn't trust that it has never been used by whoever kept them here.The door creaks open as I take my shirt down from the top of my breast."Oh, I'll come later then." The feminine voice makes me turn in surprise to see a middle aged woman moving to shut the door."Hold on." She pauses to look at me. "You
ALEXANDER'S POVI tried. I tried not to care about her or her fucking ankle, but I found myself asking for Eva's help on her behalf. There was something about the way she looked, the way she reacted, like she wasn't used to pain and you could see on her face that she feared that's all I have to offer. Cause she's right. When she had talked about the clothes in the wardrobe. I was amused by her wrong conclusion and right assumption about me.Maybe I did sleep around with girls who were ready to offer their body to me anywhere, at anytime, but not a single one got to live with me. Infact, Jenna was the only one who got to sleep overnight. I never allowed such until her, because she was that good on bed, too bad, she had to go.I had come straight to hell the moment I left her room. I might have missed the old man and I know he certainly missed my tortures. "Your wounds are healing and I don't like that." I tell him, running my thumb on the sharp knife which I usually use on people w
JANE'S POVThe sun had set, it's brighteness sneaking through my curtains to make me aware of it's presence and that of day, but I laid still on my bed, hugging one of the pillows.It was my first time being touched that way by a man and I couldn't get it off my head. I'd found it difficult to sleep last night and now, I can't seem to move my body to get off from my bed. It was the thought of him. His hands on my neck and the feel of his hands making slow movements on my body. The smallest move which he made yesterday was enough for the thought of him to linger on my mind and I can't even imagine what I'll do if he had gone further. I probably would have missed my beauty sleep last night, thinking about the things he had done to me.I step down from my bed, my heart beating from the fact that he might burst into my room any moment from now or that I'll definitely meet him later on. Escaping him when he always comes looking for me is inevitable.I walk out of the bathroom to the wardr
JANE'S POV I sit opposite Alex in the living room, staring at him like an opponent in a hockey match. Seth walks in with the Speed card in his hands and doesn't waste time to shuffle the cards and arrange it before us. I pick up my card and decide to go first.I agreed to this game because I was an expert in it. I played it alot with my late mother and never played it again with anyone after her death, not even my step brother who was also just as talented as I am. Now I'm right here playing it with a man whom I know nothing about.I wouldn't have if he hadn't brought up the deal. Though he didn't say what the deal was all about but I'm pretty sure it's about me and what I want. I was betting my bondage to him and he was betting my freedom to me.Even if I end up wining, I don't trust he'll give it to me but I believe him to be a man of his words.I feared I'll be making a big mistake agreeing to this, but it was too late to go back. We were already at the middle of the game. I kn
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
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.
ALEXANDER'S POV I hit my hand on my desk in frustration, anger...You name it. I was filled with so many emotions. The ones I knew of and the ones I didn't. "To my office, now." I roar into the phone speaker and slam it on the desk. "How could you be so fucking careles!" I spark the moment Seth walks into the office."Boss I...""It's all over the news. The old man's son. How did it happen?!" I tried containing my anger but it was impossible. "You told me you had buried him." My voice was low but full of anger. "I did. Sorry boss, I really don't know how this happened.""Sory isn't going to solve anything. You told me you had buried him where he could never be found, so how did his body end up being found at the shore of Prospect lake?""I wasn't lieing whe...""Did he float under the sand!" I hit my hand of the desk again, not caring about the pain or any occurrence of injury. "I buried him immediately. I and Simon had done a successful job.""Successful?" My brows crease at the u
JANE'S POVI quickly shower and lay on my bed for a while, staring at the ceiling. I somehow didn't feel the need to leave the room today. For the first time since I got here, I'll be comfortable being locked up in my room. I can't help but feel embarrassed and awkward whenever I think of that night. His actions that night after what we had done was enough reason for me to regret. I knew I would regret it anyway, but I didn't know it would come so soon.Maybe I was new to it. Sex and everything but what I wasn't new to was reading actions. I wasn't dumb I knew when actions were wrong and vibes were off, because a certain someone like Collins had given me enough of it.Maybe his actions could also be because I came when he told me not to yet?Damn. He's complicated and I feel embarrassed everytime I think of it. A knock on my door makes me snap my head to the door, thinking it was Alex. The door opened to Eva and I huffed in disappointment. Stupid of me to think Alex would knock to
JANE'S POVI really don't know what I was thinking when I stood up to him in such a flirtatious manner but I don't regret any of it.His hands were rough and rugged just like his voice, as he cupped my thighs, moving his hands up and down them as we kissed.I take my hands off his neck and drop them on the singlet hand of my gown. In one swift move, I take them off my shoulders, making my gown drop to the floor. "Fuck." He cursed as he stares at my bare breast. The one he had never seen but barely almost touched. My heart raced as my eyes watched him. Without thinking twice, I take his hands and place them on my hips, signaling him to continue from where he had stopped. He squeezed on it before running his hands up my sides to my breast. "Beautiful." He cupped it before lowering his lips to meet with my nipple. I moan at the contact of his hot lips. He sucked on it, squeezing hard on my other breast. His tongue danced on my nipple before sucking on it again.My hands meet with his
ALEXANDER'S POVI pull the end of Eva's apron calling for her attention. "Eva. Eva." She cleaned her hands and squat to my level, brushing my cheek as she smiled warmly at me. "What do you want from Eva this time around, Alex?" "I had done it, Eva. I was the one who stole dad's gun." "Oh, poor thing. Why did you lie then?""I was scared. Now Ethan is in so much trouble because of me.""Tell daddy then. You're his favourite, you know. He wouldn't get mad at you.""No he would. He scolded me the other time cause I had taken the speed game to play with Ethan without his permission.""Well, this is more serious than that." She brushed my shoulders. I felt bad but didn't cry. My guilt was all that brought me to confess to Eva but I would never to my dad. "Hmm. What's the solution to this?" She asked, acting like she is thinking, whereas she knew the answer. She wanted me to tell my dad the truth to save Ethan but I didn't want that."I want to see Ethan." I tell her."Well, that's too r
JANE'S POVI'd rather shave off my hair than move into that room with Alexander. It's absurd. Ever since the day I saw Collins lifeless body, I've been trying my best to keep my distance from him. Not just because I was scared of him and whatever business he was into, but also because of the way he makes me feel.Hot and uneasy.As much as I disagree, as much as I really don't want to move to his room, I have no choice. Maybe I might actually shave my hair and turn bald at the end. He wasn't taking no for an answer, well, not that he had asked me though. The speed game we had played days back was also another way to make me.I had agreed to do whatever he asked of me.What was I thinking when I sat opposite him as an expert. I was a fool for a moment. A moment to think he would loose to a game he had brought up himself.He was a businessman. How in the world did I expect him to loose to me. I messed up big time.I walk out of my room downstairs to see the dining table empty. Eva was
ALEXANDER'S POVThe sound of my closet door is heard and I knew just immediately that Jane had come for her clothes. A smirk crept to my face, knowing I'd gotten what I wanted.Her in my room.I wanted her to move into my room. I wasn't going to ask her, I was going to make her and if that didn't work then I have no problem using our deal against her.The screeching sound of my drawers is heard and I wondered what she was up to. Mischievous little Jane was probably getting her panties.Eva had moved Jane's clothes here when she was deep in her sleep. I had gone through her clothes when Eva was through arranging and out of the room. Few of her clothes were already adapting the smell of Ella's vanilla soap. The smell on Ella was nice but the smell on Eva, intoxicating. I tie my towel on my waist and walk out of the bathroom. Heat ran through my veins and gathered at my penis, at the sight of her in nothing but a towel. I wasn't expecting her to come in here looking like she wants to te
JANE'S POV.I roll to the other side of my bed and relax there for a bit before getting up with a loud yawn coming out from my mouth.It's been two days now since I played the speed game with Alex and all I've ever done since then was avoid him, to prevent any circumstance of him demanding for something all because I had decided to play a stupid game with him and agree to certain stupid things.Eva had noticed my distance. I had my three square meal in the comfort of this medium sized room. I barely helped in the kitchen, anymore and I suddenly found an interest in isolation.I make my way to the bathroom for a long hot shower. The early morning weather was cold and humid. Though it helped my sleep, I hated the horrible nose running it atimes caused me.I wrap the towel round my body and walk to my wardrobe with wobbly legs. Not even a week of good sleep could restore my energy spent on tears, struggling out of grips, banging on doors and escapes from certain situations only to end up
