Sarah's POVI struggled on his shoulder, but it was useless. He had a firm grip on me, and no matter how hard I hit him, he was not going to let go. Judging from the look on his face before he carried me, he was really pissed and nobody could predict what Mr. Stone would do it if he was angry. I knew I was doomed, and there was no escaping this. He went down to the basement, and in there, I could not believe what I saw. It was a freaking torture room down here. He had a lot of weapons and also had a cage. “Please, what do you want to do to me?” My feet were trembling, and my palms were really sweaty. I could feel the surge of adrenaline pumping through my vessels. The only thing in my head right now was how I was going to escape this evil fate of mine, but unfortunately, it was not possible. This young man here was seriously trying to set things up here in order to deal with me. “Get in there!” He said as he pushed me into the cage he had there. This cage was a really uncomfortable
Mr. Stones stood in front of the door. My face was in a total mess, and I wasn't covered up properly to stand before him, so i quickly shut the door. That was a reaction from the shock of seeing him. I was expecting to see the maiden but he was the person I saw. This is so ridiculous. I quickly rushed into the bathroom to wash off my face and at least look presentable. When I walked out of the bathroom, I reacted in shock as I jerked up in fear. He was sitting on the sofa, and he had a cigarette in his mouth. The whole room was already filled in smoke. “Jeez, you scared the hell out of me” I said as I placed my hand on my chest while trying to regulate my breathing. “Good morning. You have ten minutes to get dressed. We have work to do today” he said as he stood up from the chair. “Don't be late” he said as he blew the smoke into the air. I was literally choking from the smoke that filled the room. I was already coughing. He walked out of the room and made sure that he shut the do
John's POVLiterally, I was the happiest man in the world. This young man trying to take Sarah away is Mr. Henderson. We both had a deal to sign, which was going to be of a great favour to my company, but he insisted that he would need me to give him a beautiful lady.His request sounds ridiculous, but he is a womaniser, so I am not too surprised. “Follow him” was the order I gave Sarah when I realised she was pulling away from him.“You should not be doing this to me, please” she pleaded, but her pleas fell on deaf ears. I had a plan, and nobody was going to make me change my mind.Finally, Mr. Henderson was successful in taking her out of the office, but I knew I was not going to let him play with Sarah like that. I just needed him to sign the contract, and I'll take care of the rest by myself.I sat comfortably on my chair, with the fulfilment that I have finally signed one of the biggest deals ever. One thing was certain, there was no way he was going to leave this organisation wh
Sarah's POV You would not blame me for finding myself in this situation. I was sent back home by Mr. Stones after I had made a request to ik and see my mother. This mansion of his can be so lonely most times, so curiosity sef in and I decided to sneak into his room with one his keys which I had stolen from him earlier. I had no idea what I was going to seek for but I needed to be sure that mother was fine. “Sarah!” I heard my name from a deep voice coming from somebody who stood behind me, close enough to even cause me harm or hurt me. I froze at the spot immediately and felt nervous to turn around. “You've really got some nerve, young lady” John said as he grabbed my hair firmly and made me turn around slowly. His eyes were filled with anger as I looked into them. It was hard for me to know what was going to become of me after this. “I….I was……I” I stuttered while finding it hard to make a sentence. My limbs were already feeling very weak and I could feel them shaking. His eyes w
Sarah's POVWhat happened next was something I wasn't expecting. He pulled me close to him, close enough to kiss him. He looked me in the eyes. The connection between us was getting stronger, and suddenly, he pulled my dress from my body, leaving me naked. I quickly pulled myself away and struggled to cover my nakedness away from his eyes. “Go get some change of clothes” he said reluctantly as he returned his ass back on the sofa behind him. This man has got to be sick in the head. He just made me naked before him, and he doesn't look sorry about it. “Don't you have manners?” I could not take the insult anymore. I had already found a coat with which I used to cover my nakedness. “Look who's talking now” he chuckled. He pulled out his cigarette and lit it up while he started smoking. “You know what, I am done being scared of what you can do to me, you suck and that's the truth” I said courageously with outrightly vulgar tone. “Watch your tongue, young lady. You might be calling yo
John's POV I am quite sure Sarah didn't see that question coming. She was very startled, but at the same time, she tried to hide the look from her very observant mother. “You look startled. Did I say anything wrong?” Her mother asked curiously as she made Sarah sit next time her. I was already seated, and I didn't have to wait for anybody to give me the order to take a seat. “No ... .No mum” she startled. Damn it! Sarah is seriously messing the whole thing up. “Ma'am, I am her fiancé ma. We haven't made it official, so that is why she has been hesitant to tell you” I replied. Actually, her mother has never met me in person before, and I didn't want to introduce myself to her. I preferred to remain anonymous in this situation. “Your voice sounds quite familiar. I have heard that voice somewhere, but I can't seem to place the face properly” she said. Here we go again. This woman is really smarter than I expected. Sarah didn't take after her fully in that case. “You must have the wr
John's POVWe both had boundaries. He was not supposed to be here. One thing I could not seem to place was the courage and nerves he had for doing this. He didn't look remorseful one bit. “Calm down, John. Just have a seat so that we can talk” he said calmly.“I am not doing that, I need you out of my office right now,” I said bluntly, looking so furious and enraged.“You need to relax. Go easy mate” he said. After giving what he said a deep thought, I decided to take a seat on my office chair, where I could get a clear view of him.Matt has a record of being very cunning, and I don't want to be outsmarted by a wacked up fellow like him. “So, I need you to start talking, or I would call the security on you” I threatened. But it seems like my threats meant nothing to him.“You have a history of giving empty threats,” he mocked me. Well, just watch me go.“Empty threats huh, o need you to take this man out of here right away” I ordered two of my bodyguards.They didn't hesitate to lift
Sarah's POVI could feel a very large amount of pain on my head. I opened my eyes slowly but everywhere seemed too blurred, so I blinked again and gradually I began to see clearly.I hissed in pain as I moved myself on the chair to realise that I was actually tied to the chair I was sitting on. The environment seemed so strange, I have never been in this room before. Is this room in John's house? Where am I? Questions kept going through my head, and I had no answer for any of them.I noticed a dark image walking towards me. The light was on, but somehow, I could not get a clear image of who was coming. But when he was up close, I realised it was John.He had some weapons in his hand, which he kept on the desk right next time, at a place where I could see them very well. “Why did you tie me up? What's the meaning of all this?” I asked as I kept struggling to untie myself.Unfortunately, trying was useless because he made sure I was firmly tied. “You're awake,” he said. His expression a
Sarah's POVFinally! I felt it was a dream. Walking down the aisle and the sound of wind beside the beach. It was all a moment I could never forget. My heart's deepest wish was granted. John was finally my husband, and fully mine. Nobody had the right to come in between us. “You look gorgeous this morning, Mrs Stones,” John announced as he walked into the swimming pool section where I was busy having a trip down the sweet memories. He walked to where I sat and wrapped his hand around me as he sat behind me. We both kissed for a while and then looked into each other's eyes while we let out a soft smile. “How was your night?” I asked softly. “It was perfect. What more could be better than sleeping with the knowledge that you're now my wife,” he flattered. I giggled. “Stop flattering me, baby.” “As far as we're together, I can't stop flattering you,” he chuckled. “How long are we going to be in Paris?” I asked curiously. “Your maternity leave just began in Paris,” he replied
John's POVRaymond's wedding raised questions in Sarah's head. Judging from her body language, I could tell how desperate she was for me to start making plans for our wedding. “What are your plans for the wedding?” Raymond asked curiously. I was beginning to feel that these questions were all orchestrated by Sarah herself. Rosaline had come earlier with the same question, and her father too did the same thing. But I left all of them clueless. “Come clean. Did she send you to ask me?” I asked Raymon. “No. Chill out, dude. I am just curious to know what the big man is planning,” he said. I looked at him closely, trying to see if he was behaving suspiciously, but there was no sign towards that anyway. “I have plans. But Sarah is growing impatient by the day,” I replied. “You can't blame her. Her pregnancy is beginning to grow prominent by the day, and she really wants to tie the knot with you. Every woman wants to be at the altar with her fiancée,” he explained. “I get your po
Sarah's POVI had a little to ask my father. “You look so much like your mother when she was so young. Those eyes remind me of her loving heart,” my father said as he went down memory lane. “What happened between you two? Don't lie to me because she also told me that you both got into a really rough situation,” I said. He took a deep breath. “There's nothing to hide anyway. Yes, we both got into a bad situation, and it was all my fault.” His expression gradually changed into a very sad and moody one. “I was a jerk to her. Everything happened because of me anyway,” he continued. “What do you mean, dad?” I asked. “I used to beat her up for fun. Unfortunately, I did these when you were there. You would always make an attempt to defend her from me, but I will ignore you,” he explained. Tears had already started clouding up in his eyes, and I could see how remorseful he was for his actions. “It just felt like I couldn't stop. Like…something was pushing me,” he continued. “So, she
John's POVThe clue has been in my hands since, and I was ignorant about it. “How did you get this picture?” Sarah asked shockingly. “This… Come with me. We're going back to the correctional centre. I think I know who your father is,” I replied as we made a rush out of the house. “What are you talking about?” Sarah's confusion deepened. “Just follow me. Trust me,” I urged. It was still 6 pm, so there was a little window for us to gain access. “Good evening, sir. Please, we would love to see Louis,” I pleaded with the guard as we got into the correctional centre. “I am sorry, sir. We don't accept visitors by this time of the day,” he replied bluntly. “You need to understand, sir. This is very important,” I persisted. “Look, sir. I suggest that you please leave this place at once. Except you want to be meat for the night,” he said angrily. “Come on, man. Work with me. I could give you something in return,” I whispered. “Now you're talking. How much are we looking at?” His exc
Sarah's POVWe moved from prison to prison, searching for clues as to my father's whereabouts. But all we kept getting were negative replies. John was as frustrated as I was. But he wasn't ready to leave my side. “Good afternoon, sir. I am sorry we had to disturb your peaceful afternoon,” John said as we both walked into the warden's office. Edward was replaced by another warden, and he looked quite rigid. “I don't have a problem, as long as you guys make your visit fast,” he said with a baritone voice. “Oh, we are just here to ask you if you know about a man named Reese in this prison,” I said politely. “I am sorry, but that name hasn't been mentioned within these walls since I've been here,” He gave a straight reply without looking at our faces. “You could probably look at the records, I guess…” “You need to leave. I have provided the information you needed,” he interjected rudely. “Just give us a listening ear,” I said firmly. “Leave my office immediately. Silly humans
John's POVRaymond's news was the news I have been waiting for. Sarah's questions kept coming but I wasn't ready to answer them. “Just wait until we get to the station. You will see it for yourself,” I replied firmly. Immediately we got to the police station, I quickly rushed out of the car with Sarah and rushed into the building. “Where is he?” I asked desperately. Raymond quickly pointed towards the interrogation room. Without further hesitation, I quickly rushed into the interrogation room. I raged towards Johnson and gave him a firm punch to the face. It didn't end with one punch. I kept punching him over and over until Raymond rushed in and pulled me away from him. “Get yourself together, man. He isn't worth the stress,” he said. “Let me deal with him. He's the fault my fiancée is in all this pain and trauma. Her mother was supposed to be alive if not for that scum sitting there,” I yelled angrily while struggling to loosen Raymond's grip on me. “Calm your nerves man.
Sarah's POV After what happened with Rebecca the other day, I have been sick and worried about John. He has a lot of enemies, and you can't tell when he is going to get attacked again. I heaved a deep sigh of frustration as I used my right hand to massage my forehead. I was feeling a little bit stressed, and I sure could use a break. I have been working seriously these few days, and John warned me against that. “Do you need some rest, ma'am,” Grace said as she walked into my office unannounced. “You didn't knock? Do you think you can just walk in at will?” I asked angrily. “I am sorry, ma. I have been at it for a while now. I kept knocking, but you didn't give me any response,” she replied softly. “My bad. Maybe I didn't hear you. Gosh!! I have a lot of things going on in my head,” I lamented. “I am sorry ma'am. You need to have some rest. I can help you handle these emails. That is why I am your PA,” she suggested calmly. “You seem so nice. I guess I ha
John's POVI know I felt a little bit of remorse for treating Rebecca the way I did, but that didn't mean there was room to trust her. “Calm down,darling. I kay cane here to speak with you,” she replied. “How the fuck did you get in?” I asked curiously. “I told you earlier, you can't keep me away,” she said with a quite suspicious smile. “I'm finding it hard to believe a single word you say,” I said. “I don't eddy you to trust me, John. I just cane ro say hello to your fiancée by the way,” she replied. “Take her inside. Make sure you don't let her out of your sight,” I instructed Parker as I handed Sarah's protection over to him. Parker quickly moved up the stairs with Sarah's hand in his. She looked very worried, but I sent out a wink, assuring her that I was going to be fine. “So, now she's away. Can we spend some alone time?” She asked seductively as she made an attempt to take off her dress. “That is not happening with the both of us. I am engaged, and I suggest that yo
John's POV“What's the update, man?” I asked as I walked into an abandoned warehouse. Raymond was able to catch one of the men who worked with Johnson. So we brought him in for a little interrogation. “We've been having a peaceful interrogation, but I can't get him to speak up,” he replied with blood over his fist. “Oh, come on, man. Don't you think you were a little bit hard in him. You should have started with some Russian manicure before beating him. I'm sure he would not withsatdn the pain of three fingers,” I said. Raymond smirked. “You remind me of the good old days.” “So, back to business. Where did he stop?” I said. The victim gave off muffled noises and screams as I approached him. Fortunately, we were able to get good information. He gave us his address, and Raymond didn't hesitate to call his friend who works for the LAPD. “Are you sure you trust this man to handle this situation?” I asked cautiously. “Yes, relax. He's nothing close to Johnson. He can be trusted,
