Bidding for love Chapter 9
John's POVThe ball was left in her court, and she played it wisely. “Stop, I would sign the deal with you, whatever you want” she blurted out. Her breathing had already increased, and I could feel the surge of adrenaline that coursed through her vessels. “That's more like it. I love it when people cooperate with me” I said with a soft and emotionless smile. My bodyguard, who knew exactly what to do, went ahead to submit the needed document to me. I went ahead and gave the document to Mrs. Jones, as they untied her hand. She was given a pen, and without thinking twice, she signed the document as instructed. Finally, I had the land all to myself. I am not a wicked man when it comes to handling business deals, so I kept to my own side of the deal, and she was released as discussed. But when I got home, my ears were welcomed with the screams of a young lady whom I had kept in my house. Sarah was actually showing that she could become a thorn in the flesh. Without wasting much time, I
Bidding for love Chapter 10
Sarah's POVJust a few hours in this shithold felt like hell. I was not given a warm welcome. And I came here like I was kidnapped. I kept screaming for him to let me out of here, but whenever he came, I found it hard to utter a word. Obviously, I was scared because a slap from him had just left a scar on my face, and I was not ready to incur his wrath. The door was pushed opened and I curled myself again on the ground with my back against the wall. “You need to be thought a lesson” he said as he stood looking at me with wo much fury in his eyes, and his guard stood gallantly behind him. My instincts vound sense that something was not right, and I knew I was done for. But unfortunately, I could not do anything. His guard walked up to me holding a tape in his hand, and I knew he was going to use it to close my mouth. “Wait, Wait” I screamed as the man drew closer. Mr. Stones gave gave him an order, and he stopped. “Please, can I get a cup of water. I am dying of thirst” I pleaded w

Sarah's POVI waited patiently with hope that he was going to untie my legs. I was really uncomfortable, and I could not stay like this any longer. Stones with an expressionless look, which was a normal look you would always get from him. Unfortunately, he was not going to untie me. He rather took a role and tied my hands. “Please, you can't do this to me. Please” I pleaded. But my pleas all fell on deaf ears. I watched him walk out of the door and shut it behind him without thinking twice. I was damned for sure, but there was no going back from this. He was not going to let me go, and I guess I was going to be treated with utmost discomfort, and he would not think twice while doing this. I regretted ever signing that deal with him. It seemed like that was the worst decision I have ever taken in my life. Because since I signed that deal, I guess I signed my way into misery. I don't know how to confirm if Mum is seriously receiving her treatment. My phone was taken away from me whi
Bidding for love Chapter 12
John's POVI walked into the sitting room, but I could not find Sarah there. I had asked the maiden to keep her in the sitting room, but she was not there. “Hey, where the fuck is the bitch I asked you to keep here?” I asked furiously. But she looked at me with so much confusion. “Sir, she was here. I would quickly go and check in her room sir” she said as she hurriedly went back to Sarah's room. I stood in the sitting room and waited patiently for her to return with good news. But she returned looking perplexed and worried. “What is it huh? Why are you looking like that?” I asked furiously. She rolled her finger at the back of her hair and she looked as though she was dumbfounded. “Sir…..sir.. she was in the sitting room sir” she stuttered as her limbs shaked evidently. “You better start talking or I'll remove your head from your body at this moment” I was already filled with so much rage and my breath was beginning to become enraged. I could tell from the looks on her face that
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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
