Bidding for love Chapter 13
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
Bidding for love Chapter 14
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
Bidding for love Chapter 15
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
Bidding for love Chapter sixteen
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
Bidding for love Chapter 18
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
Bidding for love Chapter 20
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

John's POV“It's been a while man, where have you been?” I smirked.I was so excited to meet Raymond again. Raymond is the only real friend I've ever had in my entire life I never expected that I was going to meet him after we both graduated and parted ways.“Come on, John. You know how it goes in this world. I've been working so hard for the paper,” He replied.I chuckled. “Hell yeah! You look like you've been making quite an awesome amount of money. I mean, look at your ride, man.”Raymond smirked. “You mean that. That's cheap. Compared to all you have here.”“Don't be fooled,” I chuckled.Raymond leaned in towards me.“Who's the lucky lady?” He whispered.I paused for a while.“That reminds me. How about Stella? Did you both end up married,” I scoffed.Raymond smiled. “Of course we didn't. She's happily married to another man now.”“What happened,” I piqued.“We…It just couldn't work out. You know… The both of us,” Raymond sighed.“But, what about you? What about Rebecca?” He enq

Sarah's POVThe pain was becoming unbearable.It just kept replaying. The scene of how he just walked out that door without looking back.But there was no way I could blame him. My mother didn't give him a choice.“You should definitely blame him for being a coward,” Lily said.I lifted my heavy face and locked my eyes on her.“Don't give me that look. You can't sit here and be crying for a man that never fought to keep you,” She added.“You can't say that. You weren't even there to see that mum didn't give him a choice,” I replied.Lily hasn't been of help to me since I told her what happened yesterday.I mean, I expected her to sympathise and give me some emotional support.But she has just been trying to make John seem too bad before me.“I know I wasn't there when all this happened, but I expected him to walk through that door today. Did he?” She had so much confidence behind her tone.“You have no idea what that man is passing through,” I sniffled.“Stop crying. I need to get som

John's POVRight there, the decision was left for me to make.My gaze locked onto Sarah's weary eyes as she looked at me in anticipation.She was patiently waiting to hear what I had to say.“You know you don't have to listen to her,” Sarah said.Juliette didn't utter a single word.“I will take my leave now. You can have her. I guess this is the price I will have to pay,” I said bluntly.I alighted from the sofa and made an attempt to take my leave.But Sarah grabbed my arm. I turned, only for my eyes to meet her crying.“You can't do this to me,” She pleaded as tears came rolling down from her eyes.I looked at her mother, who remained on the sofa.But she didn't say anything. I didn't want to come in between a family.If her mother was going to see this act of mine, as proof of my love for her daughter, then I don't have a choice.I looked at Sarah as words eluded my lips.I just loosened her grip on me and left immediately without turning back.I entered the car, and the driver dr

John's POVI have been feeling so disturbed about the fact that Sarah's mother hasn't accepted me.So, I decided to take a leap of faith.I took the phone from her and picked up the call.“Hello ma,” I said.The phone line became calm for a while as I waited for a response from her.“You're a wicked man. I need my daughter back. What don't you understand?” She barked.“But we love each other. All we need is for you to accept our union,” I replied calmly.“I don't want to see her around you. Can't you understand?”Sarah made an attempt to express her rage to her mother, but I signalled her to remain calm.I heaved a sigh of frustration. “Let's meet up, and then we can talk about this again. You will pick the location.”Her mother hesitated. “My house. I'll be waiting to take my daughter back.”The line went dead immediately.It was certain now. The hatred her mother had for me was unimaginable.I thought it was something that would eventually subside, but this isn't the case.“Why do y

Sarah's POVThere he was, standing confused and yet called among it all.“Please, leave him alone. My mother has gotten the whole story wrong,” I urged the policeman.“I don't think so,” he replied.Suddenly, my mother came running in through the door. “Get that man arrested!”“No, don't do that. He hasn't even hurt me. We were just having a good time.” I struggled with the cops as they placed a handcuff on John's hands.But they pulled me away from him as I struggled to hold on to him.My mother just went ahead to hit John repeatedly with her handbag as he was taken out of the building.Shockingly, John displayed no form of resistance.He was just so calm as the cops took him away.My tears just poured like water from my eyes as I wailed in pain while watching the drag my lover away.This wasn't something which I planned to sit back and watch.“Get a hold of yourself, woman. Let's go,” Mum declared.I glared at her angrily. I wanted to show her how angry I was, but she was my mother.

John's POVMy excitement had turned to sadness in the blink of an eye.All my attention just turned from my beautiful wife , Sarah, to the television before me.Everybody had their eyes fixed on the screen to see what Sarah's mother was about to say.Rosaline, on the other hand, was still confused as to what we were looking at.But she just remained calm to read the room.“John Stones kidnapped my daughter. I need him to be arrested immediately. I can't sit back and…” Sarah's mother broke down in tears before the camera.Sarah quickly reached for the remote and turned the television off.“I can't let you continue watching that.”“Babe, your mum has taken this too far. I didn't expect this,” I said shockingly.Sarah was in shock as well.I could tell from her eyes that she was just getting so much pain from what her mother was doing out there.Sarah couldn't get a hold of herself anymore.She quickly rushed into the room and shut the door behind her.Rosaline tried to go after her, but

John's POVI was already feeling nervous.I knew deep down that Sarah was never going to allow me to do what I was planning to do, but her mother was desperate.“Speak up, young man,” Sarah's mother said.“I am sorry, ma. Like I said. I will tell you everything you need to know,” I assured her.Right now, she had all her attention on me, and she was ready to hear all I had to say.“I signed a contract with Sarah. I was the person who paid for your medical bills. It came with a price,” I started.“A contract? What was this contract about?” She asked.“A contract marriage. For one year,” I replied.Meanwhile, Sarah felt like dropping into the ground immediately.“So, this is why Sarah couldn't come back? She was certainly paying off this debt that she owed you.”I nodded in positive affirmation.“Sarah, you shouldn't have gone through this stress because of me,” she said.“I think I'll take my leave now,” I stood up from the chair.Sarah's weary eyes were locked onto me as we both gazed
Bidding for love Chapter 85
Sarah's POVI couldn't seem to place why John had to interrupt the introduction. I sensed fear coming from him. Condition it be that he was scared of my mother having to frown at our relationship?My mother, on the other hand, looked quite suspicious. Her gaze on John was unwavering. “Mum, what's the problem?” I broke the silence in the room. Mum's face hardened. “I have seen him somewhere. But you're welcome anyway,” Mum said. I bet John was uncomfortable at this moment. He slowly sat on the sofa, with his instincts flared. “John, right?” Mum still pressed on with her suspicion. “Yes…Yes ma,” John replied. Mum's countenance brightened immediately, as if she recalled something in an instant. “That's right. You're the man. John Stones,” Mum said. Everybody was in bewilderment of what was going on. I couldn't tell what she was trying to do. “He's the man they said… He kidnapped you. Yes, he is the man,” Mum said furiously. She ragefully stood up from her chair and tried to
Bidding for love Chapter 84
John's POVWatching a girl in distress because of me wasn't supposed to make me flinch. But seeing Sarah cry because of her made me pissed. That went extremely down to my nerves. “Can you stop?” I roared. Charles was enjoying the moment anyway. He couldn't help but just laugh and make fun of the moment. “I can't, man. You have to accept my offer. You don't have a choice anyway,” he boasted. He was really full of himself at this moment. The shooter was about to take another shot at the girl. “Stop!” I yelled. “What…What do you want?” “It's simple…” The next thing that followed was a collision. The door blew up, and the room was filled with smoke. I took charge of the opportunity immediately, as I rushed to where Sarah was tied. I took off the restraints they had on her hands and feet as well. “Untie her,” she urged. There was no time for unnecessary questions, so I quickly took off her restraints as well. “Freeze!! FBI!!” Those were the words I hcard as armed men wal
