Bidding for love Chapter 52
Sarah's POVI knew I was a goner. This would be the last time that I would be able to say a word. I closed my eyes as I waited patiently for my doom. His hand reached for my jaw and knew that was going to be the end of it for me. But something shocking happened. He was holding my jaw softly.I was expecting him to grab me tightly, but his grip was rather soft. “You're such a marvel, Sarah,” he said. I doubt if my ears are working properly now. I opened my eyes to see if I was dreaming. Maybe he slit my throat instead of my tongue.I opened my eyes only to find him smiling softly at me. A very rare smile if you're to ask me. I have never seen him in this mood before. I shivered to my bones as I sat there, looking at a man who had the intention to beat me till I was half dead. This is quite a shocking scenario.“What happened, sir?” I was pushed to ask a question. Something has got to be wrong somewhere.“I bet you've earned my trust a bit. You're quite the best deal. A very good employ

Sarah's POVThe sweet scent from the roses had filled the water in the bathtub. All I could think of right now was to look very good in a manner that I would throw John off-balance. I was still confused regarding that sudden outburst of excitement from him.Rodaline helped me get into the dress he bought for me. A silky red dress. I lived the way it looked on me. I didn't need anyone to tell me how perfect it was. “It just fits you perfectly.” Rodaline was forced to let out a sweet compliment from her mouth.She insisted that I should go without wearing any makeup. Besides, I looked good without one on my face. “Thanks” I appreciated her selfless effort towards seeing that I looked my best for this dinner.It was already ten minutes to the time John had given me to get prepared, so I gorgeously walked down to the sitting room in order to sit and wait for him. Surprisingly, I found him sitting on the sofa while taking a smoke from his cigarette.Immediately he saw me, he put away his c
Bidding for love Chapter 54
John's POVI don't know why Rebecca walked in and tapped me suddenly. She mentioned something about our deal. I knew she was going to be in this restaurant because the tracker I had placed in her earlier made it easy for me to pinpoint her location.She didn't look in bad shape, by the way. She just had little bruises and scars. They weren't too noticeable, by the way.I was very careful not to fall into one of her traps again. “Why did you call me in here?” I asked curiously as I entered the same restroom with her.“I just wanted to tell you that it is very hard for me to get my hand on your journal again. It's a hard truth, but you need to know that I am not Matt's lover. I am just his pun to do whatever he wills” She said. None of this confession mattered to me anyway.Without thinking twice, I grabbed her neck immediately and pulled her face closer to mine while looking her in the eyes. I knew she had taken a lot of beating from me, but none of that mattered. All I needed was for
Bidding for love Chapter 55
Sarah's POVIt is so unfortunate that this night didn't work out as I had expected. I was expecting it to be a night that I would never want to forget, but it turned out to be the night that he had to humiliate me. Everyone in the restaurant just had their eyes on me when that lady came to him and made him follow her into the restroom. I just looked like a fool when I mustered the courage to walk into the restroom and check what he was doing. “The boss said he is coming,” the driver said, forcing me to return from my thoughts, which were already engulfing me. I turned and noticed John had walked out of the car. But the driver drove into the house quickly, so I was unable to see where he was going. “Where did he say he was going to?” I asked the driver curiously. But what I got from him was a cold attitude. He didn't even give me a reply. He just parked the car and came down to open the door for me.I have been here for quite a long time, and yet none of John's workers try to respect
Bidding for love Chapter 56
John's POVI thought that the car I saw parked outside my gate was suspicious, but when I decided to go closer, I noticed that it was just an old lady who was having a little problem with her car. Sarah's discussion with Rosaline the previous night got me eaves dropping. Sarah was so convicted about the fact that I could never raise a finger with the aim of killing her. I had to ask myself that question, and I found out that I wasn't wicked enough to do that. I would have killed any other person without having any problem. “I need to talk with you,” I said as I woke her up. I had an expressionless look on my face, but I could not explain the reason for that. “What's going on?” She said while yawning. She had a drowsy look and also a look of surprise. She must be shocked to see that I am dressed up to go to work, but I still have the time to wake her up for a discussion. “Quit wasting my time and sit upright” I said firmly. Her neurons quickly received the impulse, and she quickly
Bidding for love Chapter 57
John's POV Two minutes had gone, and I still remained indecisive regarding whether there was any reason to commence the meeting. Judging from my own perspective, securing a deal with Matt would be suicidal to my company. “Mr. Stones, you haven't said a word for two minutes now. Is everything alright?” The chairman asked. I was clearly driven into momentary thinking for a while, but I was forced to return back to self-consciousness after hearing his voice. “I am fine. I just don't feel alright” I replied while stealing a glance at Matt in a way that nine of them noticed. “He won't be OK. Besides, he's about to make a deal with his enemy. So he will not trust you all” Matt said. This man is out of his mind for real. What the hell does he feel he is trying to do? “What are you trying to say, Matt? Mr. Stones here are not our enemy. You seem to have an emotion connecting to both of you, by the way” the chairman said. This time, he was facing Matt while talking. “He must be bluffing s
Bidding for love Chapter 58
Sarah's POVI just kept falling. I could neither see the ground nor did I know the height I started falling from. All I could see was a bright light around me. Damn! I jerked back to consciousness. I found myself in the hospital with a doctor who was trying to resuscitate me like I had passed away. He looked like he was trying the local method of resuscitating a patient. I thought I was unconscious for a while, but the look of relief in his face showed that I was actually dead. I was still in shock and oblivious of what was going on around me. I couldn't read enough meaning into it. John stood next to the doctor with his arms folded. He looked a bit worried. I had never seen such emotion on his face before. “Her heart failed for a while. You should give her enough time to rest” I don't know if the doctor felt my hearing had stopped, but I heard that. I had a lot of questions going on in my head. I understood what the doctor said, but I was trying to force my head not to understand
Bidding for love Chapter 59
John's POVI was trying so hard to ignore the feeling. All I wanted to do was sit next to Sarah until the doctor confirmed that she was healthy. Her incessant questions and curiosity were making it hard for me to mask the feeling within. I had suddenly gone soft, could it be love? It is all a lie! I don't believe I would ever find love again. Never! “Are you going to ignore me again?” she asked. That was when I jerked out from my momentary loss in my head. It seemed like I had been lost in my thoughts for a while now. “Sorry, I got lost for a moment. Your health…..” I didn't know how to start this conversation. I felt a surge of nervousness through my nerves, and I knew that if I started narrating to her in detail everything that the doctor had said, I would be at risk of exposing myself. “It seems like you've forgotten. I just want to know what the doctor said about my health” she repeated for clarity's sake. “I heard you perfectly the first time. I just don't know how to start”

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.

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
