Cladded in a grey suit and black undershirt this time, Kaden walked into Jason's company, confident that whatever happens he would make sure to meet him today. He stopped by the front desk, upon seeing him, the receptionist sighed out loudly.“Have you come to waste your time here again today? Mr Pierce has refused to see anyone, you can leave a phone number. I'll be sure to call you once he's free.”He smiled. “In case you are forgetting something, I did that on the very first day I stepped foot in this company, demanding to see him. Just run up or give him a call for me. Tell him, it's very important.”“No can do,” she forced out a smile and continued hitting her fingers against her keyboard.“Trust me, it's about his wife,” he decided to spill the truth, hoping that that will at least get him a chance to meet Jason.She slowly averted her eyes away from the computer, placing her interlocked fingers under her chin, focusing intently on him.“Look at me, do I look like I'm a fool?” S
Truly Kaden was right, there was no way Cara and any other woman could escape here if they wanted. From the beginning of the entrance, down the hall was guarded with huge, bald headed, not smiling bodyguards. Both of them dropped their belongings and moved to the area designated for them. Jason had his haircut and dyed his hair as a form of disguise, that beautiful long hair Cara loved was gone. At least, just for that moment. It will grow back in due time.Kaden offered to go with him in case he decided to lose his cool and mess everything up. It was really a busy day. Various men, both young and old, flocked around, waiting for the main event to commence.“Whatever you see, keep your cool,” Kaden whispered to him. “I need you to trust me on that.”“I'll try my best,” he adjusted his tie and settled down in his seat. He was far from being calm but he needed to think about everyone's life—his, Kaden's, Cara's and other women.The microphone squealed signifying that the organizer was r
The next day, Kaden, Jason, Evans, Earl and some of his best officers suited up in helmet and bulletproof vests; given the kind of description and nature of the place. Heavy cars were donated by the 3 men since the police cars wouldn't do exactly what they wanted. It was 2pm in the afternoon, the club was going to be deserted. Just the organizers and the women. So it was a rescue mission.Kaden swiped his card in order to gain them entry. The door opened and they drove in, with Jason sitting at the driver's seat, leading the way, he hit every bodyguard he came across. A loud siren went off, reminding him of the first neighborhood they had visited.“Assholes,” he mumbled to himself. He jumped down from his car, his anger getting the best of him already. The sight from yesterday was appalling and he vowed to deal with every single one of them. One of the bodyguards still trying to recover from the hit tried to stand up. He made his way towards him and punched him aggressively till he p
Jason stared at the calendar hanging in his office, dark circles nesting quietly under his eyes. It's been a week since they raided the underground club. He hadn't had the courage to face his recovering wife in the hospital ever since he took her there, knowing that he was the sole reason everything happened in the first place. He'd only peep from the door, watching Amber care for her and saying lovely memories to her. She had just been out of her medically induced coma and sometimes she just stared blankly into space. Mason was definitely one of the reasons she lost herself, and the more reason she wasn't back to her normal self.His ringing phone shattered his thoughts. He sighed and reluctantly picked it up.No enthusiasm or whatsoever. “Yeah?”“Hazel finally got something,” Evans shouted from the other side. “She had been tracking her cell phone for a week now and the location stayed the same. I'll pick you up from the office, I'm on my way.”He dropped the call, not allowing him
Cara stood in front of the hotel room, holding her phone in her face. She stared at the text message.'Want to know where your so-called fiance is? You might wanna check Emerald Hotel, room 350.'She had bribed the attendant at the reception, pleading with her just to go in.Now she stood in front of the room, her makeover smeared her face and the tears poured more than before. She could hear his moans and grunts from where she stood.She summoned her entire strength and pushed the door open. The naked sight of Nathan in bed with another woman irked her."You forgot to lock the door," she finally found her voice after so long.Nathan rushed to put some clothes on his body, the woman's face he was laying with came into view."What the fuck Sandra? How dare you?" Her tears poured as she charged towards her.Nathan grabbed her and threw her back before she could get to her. He pushed her to the couch."Don't you dare Cara. I won't hesitate to beat you up if you touch one single hair on h
Nathan walked into the tall building of GLAMFORT ENTERPRISE in his neatly ironed brown suit. His black shoes made gentle noises as he entered the elevator, the personal elevator for the CEO. The elevator dinged and he approached the door. He opened the door and met Cara on the seat."What are you doing here bitch?" He questioned. "Have you forgotten you handed everything over to me?""I'd choose my words carefully if I were you Nathan," she said, going through the files on the table."You want me to call the security on you? They won't care if this is your father's company. They listen to the CEO now."She stopped what she was doing and looked at him. She crossed her legs and relaxed in her seat."Please, go ahead."He said between gritted teeths. "What are you playing at?""You are fired from today henceforth. All your bank accounts have been frozen, you no longer have access to this company again."He walked around and gave a long laugh. She wore a gentle smile and followed him wit
"Congratulations ma'am, you are pregnant," the doctor said. "Pregnant how? I've not been intimate with anyone ever since my last fiancè.""It's 3 months pregnant, I'm surprised how you had no idea that you were pregnant.""Perhaps you are giving me the wrong result. Can you please check again?""If you wish," the doctor said.She sat in her car for as long as she could remember. Nothing was coming to her, no memory of the tiniest bit was coming to her.She drove home and met Jason in a heated argument with a different lady."You better take that pregnancy elsewhere. You know my status, that's why you are trying to pin it on me right?""What's going on here, Jason?" She asked."Not now Cara, leave.""I'm just trying to..""I said get out from here. Leave," he shouted at her before she could complete her statement.She grabbed her bag and rushed to her room with tears forming gradually in her eyes.The past few months, she had watched the jovial Jason go back to the rude Jason she alwa
Jackson Pierce—Jason's father—sat beside his son's bed, holding his hands together."Maria left me almost immediately you were born, don't leave me too Jason. You are all I have left," tears rolled down the old man's cheeks.Alexander McQueen—Cara's father—watched his friend tear up beside his son's bed." Let's go Jackson, he will be fine," he helped his friend up.It's been 3 years since Jason was found almost dead on the street. The killer was unknown and still believed to be on the run, so he was taken care of at home.Cara was still nowhere to be found. Private investigators found nothing on her and it's like she never existed."Are you sure he'll be fine? Both our children, Alex, both of them. It's been 3 years since we heard anything about Cara last," Jackson cried in his friend's arms. "It's alright, everything will be fine."The monitor started beeping rapidly, both men turned to look. The doctor rushed in and checked him. Jason started to shake vigorously, he opened his eye

2 months after she met Kaden. Since the day she met Kaden, her hope grew and she hoped that she would be out of her bondage sooner or later. She told Ella everything that happened between her and Kaden and both of them anticipated the day her knight in shining armour would ride through the door and finally take her home. Cara promised not to leave her behind, afterall she was the only friend she ever had. But for the past 2 months, her hope gradually diminished. Whatever Izzie and Yul and Marco were trying to work into her head was starting to stick. Maybe Jason didn't really love her like he claimed. Somewhere inside her, she believed that her son was gone for good and she had no reason to long for him anymore. No one knew where they were or how they would be rescued. Scared of feeling like this someday, she had told Ella who she really was and had relayed her fears to her in case she needed to have a reality check. Surprised about who she was, Ella promised to keep it a secret fr
Cara and 5 other ladies were led into a room like a goat being led to its slaughterhouse. The room was dark, only the stage they were put on had a bright light around it. This only increased the fear Cara was nursing. Her heartbeat was becoming louder to her ears, her palms were covered in sweat. She held them together and fought the urge to do anything otherwise.The shrilling sound of the microphone forced her attention away. Marco had grabbed the microphone and was making some weird introduction, and also thanking all of them for coming.She noticed that she was placed behind all of them, her intuition told her what was happening. And just like that, the bidding began. One by one, the ladies were handed over to their masters for that night. She inhaled a big bowl of air, using it as a distraction for herself. It was finally her turn.“And we have here for ourselves, my most prized possession. The most expensive, the most beautiful. Ignore all this shabby makeover, what is beneath i
All through the night, Cara's eyes wouldn't succumb to mother nature's threat to sleep. Her eyes were wide open and she kept tossing and turning. Sleep was the last thing in her head at the moment; if she was right, she might be deliberately given a sick old bastard tomorrow just so they can prove their point. Ella lets her in on some things, Izzie would be the one to dress her in the most obscene dress ever, while Marco will escort her out, putting her out as a bid for whoever wants her. Once again, she felt like nothing but a piece of commodity, waiting to be sold and devoured. Maybe that was all she really was. Life had been handed over to her on a platter of gold and she didn't know what this other side of life tasted like. Now she was tasting it, and from her point of view, it can definitely damage one in the head. Morning came faster than expected and from the way everyone ran around, she could tell that they were indeed expecting some rich people. She didn't see Ella throughou
Marco entered the doctor's room, sighting Cara trying to eat. Her face was mashed up in disgust, but she had no choice. She had to eat or starve; well of course, she couldn't afford the latter.“I see your mouth is starting to work,” he taunted. “Those legs better start working too. I don't have the luxury to be feeding you for free. Not after the huge amount of money I paid for you.”She dropped the bowl of soup she was being given. Her scars were starting to heal gradually but they still did no justice to how beautiful she is.She stared at him, crossing her leg over one again. “How much did you pay for me again?”That question threw Marco off guard. Her net worth alone was more than everything Marco could ever have in his life. All his legal and illegal business joined together were nothing compared to her net worth. And her being Mrs Pierce, she definitely had a share in Jason's wealth, which was even more than her net worth.“I'm waiting, you still haven't answered me,” she said,
Evans refused to let both of them go alone, he claimed that he had heard various stories around the block where Cynthia was found. He made sure to allow Earl and a few of his officers tag along. They dressed like normal civilians and used the vehicles provided by Jason and Evans; using a police van in that neighborhood would definitely blow their cover before they were able to get any information.Underneath their t-shirts were bulletproof vests, a means to protect themselves in case things took a different route.“Keep this in case anything happens,” Earl handed him a gun. “I shouldn't be doing this but I believe you have the right to protect yourself too.”Without thinking too much, he collected and stuffed it in his back trousers. His thoughts were starting to go far, he was ready to blow anybody's head, should he see a scene that shouldn't even be happening.Earl dragged him back before they stepped down. “I know you are hurting too much and right now your senses might be clouded
