Bidding for love Chapter 44
John’s POVI was about to leave the house to go and settle some really important issues, when I heard indistinct chatter coming from Sarah’s room. Curiosity made me go there to see what was going on.“I am sorry sir” Rosaline who was trying to comfort Sarah was forced to get up on her feet, and made an attempt to leave the room immediately. But I quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back into the room, forcing her to stand between me and Sarah’s bed.“I need to talk to you as well,” I said. While she was standing at my front, with our eyes locked on each other’s gaze, I had to let her leave the room. It was not worth involving her in this conversation in any way.“Have you come to apologize or ruin me with your hurtful words?” Sarah, who was lying in the bed when I entered her room, quickly sat upright right at the edge of the bed, leaving her feet on the ground.“You don’t have the right to speak to me in such a manner” I said furiously with my index finger pointing towards her.

John’s PovTrusting people is something I can be very sceptical about. Besides, I just met Raymond today. He could be working with the FBI to find who killed my father ten years ago. This is so insane! It’s been ten years now, and these people feel this is the right time to bring up this case.I had the technical department carry out some facial ID on him and see if he had any data that could give him off as a threat to me. They did as I had instructed, and in no time, I had his data sitting on my PC.His profile was quite queer to me. He had no records with the police. He was a walking saint. But from his looks, he looked to me like he was always doped or something. It's more like a drug lord in the form of a saint. This is not making any sense to me. He also has a company, from the records I am looking at.I guess I can give him a try. I’ll start with paying a surprise visit to the address on his card. “Take me to this address here” I said to my driver. I was already done with ever

John’s Pov “I have some questions I would love to ask you,” I said softly. I didn't want to scare her off. Besides, she has always had my best interest in mind.“OK sir. I am ready to give you the answers to each of them,” she replied softly.“I need you to tell me who you disclosed the secret of my father's death to. I need the truth, please,” I said. I had to highlight the path where I needed her to be honest with me.“I…..I….. I told only Sarah. We had a conversation, and I told her. I am very sorry, sir.” She said, Judging from her expression, she was being very honest at the moment.“You made a mistake, but I think I should do my talking with Sarah at the moment” I replied. I had every right to be angry, but I didn't get angry. Somehow, I didn't see any reason to get angry at her. “Just get Sarah to come to my room please” I dismissed her immediately.It didn't take up to one minute for me to hear a knock on my door. Rosaline must have told her what she was going to face in my r
Bidding for love Chapter 47
Sarah’s POVI had lost control of personal desire as he walked in up close into my personal space. I found it hard to resist him at this time. I think I am sick, he treats me like shit and here I am drooling over him. I must have Stockholm syndrome. It felt like there was some force of attraction between our lips.He wasn’t going to hold back at this moment because he just kept drawing closer to me with his lips. He wore a smirk on his face, and his eyes looked too attractive all of a sudden. I closed my eyes, hoping that my lips were going to be met with a soft kiss on the lips, but it was a tape to my lips.I could not believe that he had just lured me to place a tape on my lips. I wanted to shout and blab, but I could only make muffled noises. He forced me to sit on a chair, which he provided.I didn’t know what he was up to, but it was certain from the expression on his face that he was willing to deal with me severely. He was already picking out certain tools from his box. The sa

John's POVI had to resuscitate her immediately. It wasn't a mistake, by the way, I needed to drown her. I saw that as a way of making her understand her place. I wasn't going to sit back and watch her speak to me in a manner of intense disrespect.After thirty seconds of trying to get the water out of her lungs, she coughed and took in a deep breath. “Welcome back mate” I said. It is a good thing she didn't die on me, by the way.She was still weak, and so she was unable to talk. I could see the sudden fear she had in her eyes. I guess I loved that feeling because I had a soft smile on my face while looking into her eyes.I opened the door and left the basement. I had Parker cone in and take her back to her room. I was urged to pay a visit to Matt, but I didn't see it as a wise decision.The best thing I need to do is to try and keep away from Matt. I was in my room trying to ease off some stress and think about something reasonable when I heard a soft knock on my door. I was expec

John's POV Luckily, I was prepared for her visit. I wouldn't call it unexpected because I was the one that invited her to come. But she didn't call to tell me the time she was going to arrive. All I got was a message from the security, saying that Rebecca was looking for me. I gestured to him to let her come into my room. In no time, she gorgeously walked into my room. Looking as irresistible as ever. She wore a short red dress. It revealed her curves at respective spots. “Here, have a seat” I said while pointing towards the sofa that was next to my bed. She didn't hesitate to walk to the sofa and slowly sit down as she put down her bag. “What did I do to deserve this invitation? I was never looking forward to a time like this ever in my life” she asked softly while maintaining a keen eye contact with me. Those beautiful eyes of hers and the memories of all that we have done together were enough to seduce me into forgetting what I reason for inviting her was. But I was determined
Bidding for love Chapter 50
John's POVI grabbed a whip. The best weapon that I could use to inflict enough pain on her. Her dress was already drenched, so it was going to allow the whips's pain to become even more intense.“Do you think that whip is going to make me tell you whatever you want to hear?” She giggled. This girl is such a menace. While ignoring what she just said, I started flogging her without giving her any space to catch her breath. She kept screaming and groaning at the top of her voice, but I didn't have any intentions of stopping.I kept flogging her until I noticed that my hands were getting weak. I took a moment to catch my breath, and then I grabbed a seat on a chair that was right beside me.“What do you know about my father?” I asked. I knew she was going to take the bait.“I don't know enough about your father. You hardly talk about him” she replied. There's the lie. I expected she was going to lie. I took a gun in my hand and shot her right foot.I was trained by my father on how to ma
Bidding for love Chapter 51
Sarah's POVI have finally gotten used to hearing those disturbing noises coming from John's basement. His regular routine of torturing people. But this time, I was really curious to see who it was.I have been hearing repeated gunshots, and yet it didn't seem like he was aiming to kill the person. I sneaked downstairs and walked up close to the door of the basement. It's a good thing that I didn't see Parker standing outside. He must have told him to leave the front of the door.I was about to push the door open, with the intent of catching him off guard. But the door pulled open on its own. Shockingly, it was John who opened the door.He was covered in blood, and he had a soft smile on his face. He must have done an extremely dirty job inside there. Before I could make a run, he grabbed my hand. “I am sorry, I was just curious to know what was going on in there.” I knew he was going to react angrily because he was always strict concerning his privacy.“Always remain in your room no

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
