Bidding for love Chapter 31
John's POVI made myself comfortable in Matt's sitting room. I knew it was awkward because I didn't come with any bodyguard, but come on, he doesn't have the power to harm me. I must commend him for his eye for arts and aesthetics. He really put them to use while decorating his sitting room.A few minutes later, Matt walked down from the staircase into his sitting room. Surprisingly, he didn’t have any company. I expected him to have his bodyguards walk in with him or Rebecca.“You've got some nerves man” he said as he took a seat on the sofa parallel to where I was sitting.“I don't have anything to be afraid of, I am actually here for business” I replied bluntly. My expression remained cold as ever. I wasn't here for pleasantries, and I love the fact that he understood that as well.“I don't like the feeling I am having now. I sense that you came here with a hell load of trouble on your shoulder” he reached for his cigarette and lit it up using a lighter.“I haven't come here for tr

John's POVMatt was afraid, I could see it from how his expression looked, like that of one who had seen a ghost, but I remained so at ease and relaxed. I had nothing to worry about. I just wore a soft smile on my face as I watched them drown in their fears.I heard footsteps coming closer to the door until it stopped. Matt's personal bodyguard didn't hesitate to shoot at the door immediately.After he stopped shooting, I saw blood slowly flow through the door, and then I heard the thud of a body on the ground. We all presumed that the man had died, so his bodyguard went ahead to have a look.He opened the door, and immediately, he was shot dead, leaving Matt as the only man remaining. My trusted bodyguard, Parker, was the man behind the door.He walked in immediately, and the remaining security personnel followed immediately. They handcuffed Matt, while Parker had me released from the chain. My plans had all plated out perfectly.I had planned to hand Matt over to the police, which w

Sarah's POVI could hear muffled noises and groans from John's room. I felt so uneasy and uncomfortable sitting back and listening to John make all the noises. So I got up from the bed quickly and rushed to his room. I pushed the door open, and I found him breathing heavily and sweating profusely as well.I looked around in his room, but I couldn't find anybody lurking around in his room. It was only his personal bodyguard who had come to and checked on him.Without waiting for his permission, u slowly walked into his room while watching each step I took towards him.I took a seat next to him on his really enormous bed and tried to pull closer to him, but he stopped me. “What is this all about?” he asked with so much uncertainty and curiosity displayed all over his face.“I feel you need a rest. Come, let me rub your head a bit” I said. I didn't know I had gotten so courageous to talk to him. I mean, I needed a fortune teller to tell me what had happened to him. The look on his face s

John's POVSarah was able to make me fall asleep. Her hands did the magic, and I must commend her for that. But my sleep was cut short by the security alarm. That alarm only goes on when the security in the house has been breached.As I was still trying to process the alarm, I heard a knock on my door. I was forced to stand up from my bed and order him to come in. “We have a problem, sir. We just caught somebody trying to kidnap Sarah, sir” Parker brought the news to me. That news came as a great shock to my nerves. I had to wonder how he was able to enter this house and how he was able to get his hands on Sarah. But there was only one way to find out.I grabbed my shirt and followed Parker as he led me to where they had kept the man. We entered my sitting room, and I found Sarah shaking in terrible fear, and on the ground was the man who had attempted the attack.“Take him to the basement,” I said. They did so immediately, and I followed him down to the basement. This was a busines

John's POVI found it hard to believe what I heard . “Please, I'd love you to go through your records again. Something must be wrong somewhere” I said politely. The correctional officer obliged and went through the records again and still didn't come up with any good news.I had to accept the fact that Matt didn't make it to prison. He had proven to me that he was a really hard nut to crack. I returned back home, fully aware that a man who would kill me if he certainly had the chance was out there.“You look very worn out,” Sarah said as she walked into the sitting room. I was sipping a glass of wine, I had a lot going on in my head.“I am fine,” I replied. My reply was a definite and short one. I didn't want to engage in any conversation with her.“Talk to me, you look really stressed” she made an attempt to come close to me, but I quickly stopped her hand and restricted her from touching me.“I told you I was fine. I guess you need to return to your room. I am giving you a last warn

Sarah's POVRosaline took care of my bath . She took care of my makeup and other things she needed to do. “Why are you doing all this? It's a freaking ball for crying out loud” I said. The makeup and everything was getting really intense, and it was taking quite a really long time. Though the makeup was not a thick one, she made sure she took her time on it.“The boss had strictly instructed me to take my time,” she replied. I guess I didn't hear something right.“You mean he had you do all these. So, technically this is a big event” I said.“He did not mention that, but I guess it is,” she replied. She helped me put on a beautiful red ball gown that John had provided. I flaunted my body before the mirror, admiring how beautiful I looked on the gown.“I love it,” I giggled. Rosaline just stood behind me with a smile on her face. I could read the words behind that smile.She accompanied me as I gorgeously walked down the stairs while slowly approaching the sitting room. As I walked int

Sarah's POVMy ear was temporarily blocked. I couldn't hear properly for a while as a result of the slap. John's expression gradually became filled with anger. He tapped the man on his shoulder, forcing the man to turn. John decided to approach the matter calmly.“Please sir, I would love you to apologise to my wife this minute” he said calmly. The young man who he was talking to looked at him with disgust and turned. The message was crystal clear. He was not ready to apologise for any reason.I knew that John wasn't going to take this lightly. He tapped the young man again, and this time, as the young man turned, he gave him a firm punch on his face. I covered my mouth as I watched in awe. I have never seen John in this mood before.He can be violent sometimes, but right now, he is fighting like he was protecting me. The young man he had punched already had a little blood coming out from his mouth. That was when I realised that the punch was a very heavy one.“Who do you think you a
Bidding for love Chapter 38
John's POVShe looked very shocked to hear what I had just said. I was expecting such a reaction. I needed to get close to her and have some fun, so that was the first thing that came into my head. She would ask me a lot of questions if I had told her what I had in my mind.“You lied to me. Though I enjoyed it, let's not forget that you lied in order to get me to follow you,” she said.“Let's just forget the fact that I lied to you. You're a bad dancer, by the way. ” I was trying to create a serene environment for a very good discussion section.Personally, I had no explanation for what was going on. But the only thing I was sure of was that I felt relieved whenever I was having a good time with her.“No, you're not going to change the topic. I object. You felt I would not want to go out on a ball date with you if you asked?” She asked with a soft smile on her face. I have never seen Sarah in this mode before.“Can we just skip that part?” I asked politely. She looked at me for a whil

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

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

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
