John's POV

I walked into my company, looking as elegant as ever. I was going to meet up with one of the stubborn clients who has refused to meet my criteria so that we can go ahead with the deal.

“Good morning sir” Mrs Jones, who has been in my office for close to an hour, said while lending her hand out for a handshake.

I came here for business and not pleasantries, so I rejected the handshake with a straight look on my face. “You're beginning to become a Thorn in my flesh ma'am” Her countenance changed to what I would call rage.

“I want you to get your hands off my property. We haven't had a deal yet” she said with a deep frown. I could sense the frustration embedded in her tone.

But I care less. All I wanted was to gain ownership of her land and expand my company in this city. I offered a good sum of money to her, but she claimed that she would not sell it off for the amount.

I know I can buy land anywhere else, but hers sits on a very good site for commercial activities. I ca

    John's POVHer wanting tone made me stand still, unable to make a move. I guess she had a change of mind, or did she have more of her questions, which were already getting on my nerves? “I would sign it, whatever it takes” she blurted out. “I guess we have ourselves a deal then,” I said as I returned to the sitting room with the document. I took a seat and crossed my legs as I watched her take a pen slowly in an attempt to legalise our agreement. “But you would have to help my mother,” she pleaded. Tears were already clouding up in her eyes, but those emotions were worthless to me. “They were listed in the agreement in that document” I replied. She checked to confirm and giggled when she saw it. She finally signed the document and handed it back to me. I returned the document to its file paper and stood up from the sofa while adjusting my tie. I was about to return to my room when she grabbed my arm. “Thank you sir” she appreciated, tears already rolling down her cheeks. I shoo

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    Sarah's POVFinally! I felt it was a dream. Walking down the aisle and the sound of wind beside the beach. It was all a moment I could never forget. My heart's deepest wish was granted. John was finally my husband, and fully mine. Nobody had the right to come in between us. “You look gorgeous this morning, Mrs Stones,” John announced as he walked into the swimming pool section where I was busy having a trip down the sweet memories. He walked to where I sat and wrapped his hand around me as he sat behind me. We both kissed for a while and then looked into each other's eyes while we let out a soft smile. “How was your night?” I asked softly. “It was perfect. What more could be better than sleeping with the knowledge that you're now my wife,” he flattered. I giggled. “Stop flattering me, baby.” “As far as we're together, I can't stop flattering you,” he chuckled. “How long are we going to be in Paris?” I asked curiously. “Your maternity leave just began in Paris,” he replied

    John's POVRaymond's wedding raised questions in Sarah's head. Judging from her body language, I could tell how desperate she was for me to start making plans for our wedding. “What are your plans for the wedding?” Raymond asked curiously. I was beginning to feel that these questions were all orchestrated by Sarah herself. Rosaline had come earlier with the same question, and her father too did the same thing. But I left all of them clueless. “Come clean. Did she send you to ask me?” I asked Raymon. “No. Chill out, dude. I am just curious to know what the big man is planning,” he said. I looked at him closely, trying to see if he was behaving suspiciously, but there was no sign towards that anyway. “I have plans. But Sarah is growing impatient by the day,” I replied. “You can't blame her. Her pregnancy is beginning to grow prominent by the day, and she really wants to tie the knot with you. Every woman wants to be at the altar with her fiancée,” he explained. “I get your po

    Sarah's POVI had a little to ask my father. “You look so much like your mother when she was so young. Those eyes remind me of her loving heart,” my father said as he went down memory lane. “What happened between you two? Don't lie to me because she also told me that you both got into a really rough situation,” I said. He took a deep breath. “There's nothing to hide anyway. Yes, we both got into a bad situation, and it was all my fault.” His expression gradually changed into a very sad and moody one. “I was a jerk to her. Everything happened because of me anyway,” he continued. “What do you mean, dad?” I asked. “I used to beat her up for fun. Unfortunately, I did these when you were there. You would always make an attempt to defend her from me, but I will ignore you,” he explained. Tears had already started clouding up in his eyes, and I could see how remorseful he was for his actions. “It just felt like I couldn't stop. Like…something was pushing me,” he continued. “So, she

    John's POVThe clue has been in my hands since, and I was ignorant about it. “How did you get this picture?” Sarah asked shockingly. “This… Come with me. We're going back to the correctional centre. I think I know who your father is,” I replied as we made a rush out of the house. “What are you talking about?” Sarah's confusion deepened. “Just follow me. Trust me,” I urged. It was still 6 pm, so there was a little window for us to gain access. “Good evening, sir. Please, we would love to see Louis,” I pleaded with the guard as we got into the correctional centre. “I am sorry, sir. We don't accept visitors by this time of the day,” he replied bluntly. “You need to understand, sir. This is very important,” I persisted. “Look, sir. I suggest that you please leave this place at once. Except you want to be meat for the night,” he said angrily. “Come on, man. Work with me. I could give you something in return,” I whispered. “Now you're talking. How much are we looking at?” His exc

    Sarah's POVWe moved from prison to prison, searching for clues as to my father's whereabouts. But all we kept getting were negative replies. John was as frustrated as I was. But he wasn't ready to leave my side. “Good afternoon, sir. I am sorry we had to disturb your peaceful afternoon,” John said as we both walked into the warden's office. Edward was replaced by another warden, and he looked quite rigid. “I don't have a problem, as long as you guys make your visit fast,” he said with a baritone voice. “Oh, we are just here to ask you if you know about a man named Reese in this prison,” I said politely. “I am sorry, but that name hasn't been mentioned within these walls since I've been here,” He gave a straight reply without looking at our faces. “You could probably look at the records, I guess…” “You need to leave. I have provided the information you needed,” he interjected rudely. “Just give us a listening ear,” I said firmly. “Leave my office immediately. Silly humans

    John's POVRaymond's news was the news I have been waiting for. Sarah's questions kept coming but I wasn't ready to answer them. “Just wait until we get to the station. You will see it for yourself,” I replied firmly. Immediately we got to the police station, I quickly rushed out of the car with Sarah and rushed into the building. “Where is he?” I asked desperately. Raymond quickly pointed towards the interrogation room. Without further hesitation, I quickly rushed into the interrogation room. I raged towards Johnson and gave him a firm punch to the face. It didn't end with one punch. I kept punching him over and over until Raymond rushed in and pulled me away from him. “Get yourself together, man. He isn't worth the stress,” he said. “Let me deal with him. He's the fault my fiancée is in all this pain and trauma. Her mother was supposed to be alive if not for that scum sitting there,” I yelled angrily while struggling to loosen Raymond's grip on me. “Calm your nerves man.

    Sarah's POV After what happened with Rebecca the other day, I have been sick and worried about John. He has a lot of enemies, and you can't tell when he is going to get attacked again. I heaved a deep sigh of frustration as I used my right hand to massage my forehead. I was feeling a little bit stressed, and I sure could use a break. I have been working seriously these few days, and John warned me against that. “Do you need some rest, ma'am,” Grace said as she walked into my office unannounced. “You didn't knock? Do you think you can just walk in at will?” I asked angrily. “I am sorry, ma. I have been at it for a while now. I kept knocking, but you didn't give me any response,” she replied softly. “My bad. Maybe I didn't hear you. Gosh!! I have a lot of things going on in my head,” I lamented. “I am sorry ma'am. You need to have some rest. I can help you handle these emails. That is why I am your PA,” she suggested calmly. “You seem so nice. I guess I ha

I kay cane here to speak with you,” she replied. “How the fuck did you get in?” I asked curiously. “I told you earlier, you can't keep me away,” she said with a quite suspicious smile. “I'm finding it hard to believe a single word you say,” I said. “I don't eddy you to trust me, John. I just cane ro say hello to your fiancée by the way,” she replied. “Take her inside. Make sure you don't let her out of your sight,” I instructed Parker as I handed Sarah's protection over to him. Parker quickly moved up the stairs with Sarah's hand in his. She looked very worried, but I sent out a wink, assuring her that I was going to be fine. “So, now she's away. Can we spend some alone time?” She asked seductively as she made an attempt to take off her dress. “That is not happening with the both of us. I am engaged, and I suggest that yo

    John's POV“What's the update, man?” I asked as I walked into an abandoned warehouse. Raymond was able to catch one of the men who worked with Johnson. So we brought him in for a little interrogation. “We've been having a peaceful interrogation, but I can't get him to speak up,” he replied with blood over his fist. “Oh, come on, man. Don't you think you were a little bit hard in him. You should have started with some Russian manicure before beating him. I'm sure he would not withsatdn the pain of three fingers,” I said. Raymond smirked. “You remind me of the good old days.” “So, back to business. Where did he stop?” I said. The victim gave off muffled noises and screams as I approached him. Fortunately, we were able to get good information. He gave us his address, and Raymond didn't hesitate to call his friend who works for the LAPD. “Are you sure you trust this man to handle this situation?” I asked cautiously. “Yes, relax. He's nothing close to Johnson. He can be trusted,
