CHAPTER 66VALERIE'S POVToday was the day I and Gabe planned on going to the club. I didn't return home last night and spent the night sleeping on Gabe's couch. That was the first step on messing with Stephano, he always required I took permissions but this time around I didn't say a word about not returning home .Stephano called and sent texts, demanding to know where I was. I just replied with ' I'm fine' and that was it. It was still in the afternoon but we wanted to go to the club now and not wait till evening. the club was an high end one so it was so well decorated and dimly lit so we wouldn't even tell the difference between the day and night so that made it just perfect."Gabe come on, let's get ready. help me do my makeup" I grumbled."Wait I'm coming, I'm trying to visualize the outfit I want to wear before I go check for it on my closet" he replied."oh come on! just get my make down while you continue trying to visualize your outfits. I don't know we you wouldn't just g
CHAPTER 67VALERIE'S POV"Look who decided to finally show up" I heard Stephano say, his voice coated in suppressed anger.I pretend not to hear him and stride past him, ignoring his presence. Stephano's large hands clasp my arm, stopping me in place. He dragged me back till my body collided with his hard chest."Where the fuck do you think you're going" he whispered from behind me."To my room of course" I replied sassily.He turned me around so I was now facing him, staring into his eyes."Where are you coming from?" he asked."Doesn't my outfit already answer your question? or do I need to spell it out" I replied ."So the feisty attitude is back" he muttered, his hands wrapping around my neck but making no move to choke me. I stared at him unbothered without flinching, feeling an unknown wave of confidence."Who was that guy?" he asked, the anger in his voice barely hidden.He was pissed… Just what I wanted"I don't know what you are talking about" I replied, playing dumb knowing
CHAPTER 68VALERIE'S POVI couldn't believe I had let myself get fooled once again. Not only did I get played by Cherry but now I have gotten played by her boyfriend also! And this time, it was ten times more serious. I felt terrible because I knew I was the cause of all this misfortune. If only I had bothered to find out who Cherry's boyfriend was exactly this wouldn't have happened, I would be at least free from his stupid trap. Although deep down in my head I knew he would use force if I wasn't so clueless about everything. So either way this was bound to happen, but that didn't stop me from feeling the need to blame myself for everything that happened. I wish I didn't leave the house at that moment, what shitty luck I had..."Don't bother screaming, they can't hear you nor can they see you" Richard informed me, his still on the road.I didn't want to bother raising my voice because that wouldn't be of any help and I was honestly fed up with everything, I wanted to figure out a way
CHAPTER 69STEPHANO'S POV"Nice gift I got you, huh? I hope you are 'happy' to see this. yours truly. Richard". I threw the gift box furiously on the floor, the pictures littering the place.I wanted to beat someone up, or rather kill someone! Specifically that fucker, Richard. What was I thinking letting Valerie walk out of my care without any security when it was clear Richard would be up to something, trying to get revenge since I captured Cherry. Technically she basically walked inside my lair, they shouldn't have expected to come back just as easily. My words were laughing at my face since I was just as careless as them and now Valerie is gone."Fuckkk!" I groaned out loud, I was beyond frustrated at this point.I picked up my cell phone and put Fred on the line, as usual he picks up on the first ring."Yes boss?" he asked curtly, his voice professional and displaying his readiness to carry out his duties."Come to my office now" I ordered."Sure thing Don" he replied quickly th
CHAPTER 70CHERRY'S POV*flash back**I felt extremely weak, my hands and legs were really sore from being tied up for far too long. My stomach rumbling in hunger since I have had to survive only on food crumbs. I just wanted out, but I didn't exactly have the chance to do that.The basement door bangs loudly against the wall as it was pushed open, making streams of light make way inside the room. I squint in order to see who walked in, it was another of Stephano's men bringing in a tray of food. Food that was so unappealing even in my famished state."Here is your meal" the man said curtly and moved to drop the tray in front of me and immediately turns away. I noted our all Stephano's men that was sent down here always carrying their job out in a robotic manner, not saying anything more than what needed said, by that I meant the annoying similar "Here is your meal" statement."Please wait" I becknoned loudly making his retreating steps still.He doesn't turn around to look at me, he
CHAPTER 70RICHARD'S POVI watched in anger as Stephano and his men exited. I was beyond furious with Stephano and his way of displaying his power but still I couldn't do anything about it knowing it was going to cost me more damage in return. His men were way too loyal to him for me to sneak my way in and get back at him for what he did to Cherry."Fuck! how did I forget" I groaned out loud.Valerie is still with me! That was enough. With that thought in mind, I snatched my car keys and rushed out of my office, the double doors banging as a result of the force I used in opening it. I was in a hurry because I knew I didn't have much time left, Stephano was already coming after Valerie so I needed to get her out of there before he eventually figured out where she currently was.I ignored the wary eyes of my employees who were looking at me strangely like I had grown two heads. immediately I got to the parking lot, I quickly entered my car and drove into the traffic jammed road. The car
CHAPTER 71VALERIE'S POVMy head was pounding the moment I woke up, it felt like I had been asleep for weeks. My body was aching badly as a result of the uncontrollable situation I was in. I looked around and saw I was seated in the passenger seat of a familiar looking car. It was the same car I was kidnapped in. I turned to look at the driver, it was no surprise to see Richard there.I was still in a sleepy state and the ranging pain in my head was making me extremely uncomfortable. When I looked outside, I couldn't recognize anywhere. We were completely surrounded by bushes and Richard was driving through a small pathway. The place was dimly lit by the full moon. I noticed it wasn't far into the night when I saw the time on the dashboard."Richard" I called, my voice cracking at how dry it was from the lack of water."There is a bottle at your side. Drink up, you look like you need it" He said without glancing at me, his complete focus on the road.I looked at where he instructed an
CHAPTER 72VALERIE'S POVTRIGGER WARNING : SUICIDE*"Exactly, this is going to be the start of your new life… As a slave!"My blood runs cold as I try to imagine what is going to happen if I eventually become a slave. That would mean being sold to a random dude who would most likely be in his sixties with the iconic pot-like belly. I shiver in fear at the thought of being a slave to someone."Noo! Please, take me back home. Don't do this" I begged helplessly."There is nothing you could possibly do right now that would change my mind. Your name is already booked on the auction list for tonight. Your only hope is to pray your owner would be nice, which by the way is very much unlikely" he snickered."I did nothing wrong, just please let me go already" I pleaded."Shut the fuck up! I don't want to hear your whinings or I would not hesitate to leave a goodbye scar on that delicate body of yours" he threatened making me flinch back but remain silent."Now why don't you be more cooperative
