Bidding for love Chapter 17
Sarah's POVWhat happened next was something I wasn't expecting. He pulled me close to him, close enough to kiss him. He looked me in the eyes. The connection between us was getting stronger, and suddenly, he pulled my dress from my body, leaving me naked. I quickly pulled myself away and struggled to cover my nakedness away from his eyes. “Go get some change of clothes” he said reluctantly as he returned his ass back on the sofa behind him. This man has got to be sick in the head. He just made me naked before him, and he doesn't look sorry about it. “Don't you have manners?” I could not take the insult anymore. I had already found a coat with which I used to cover my nakedness. “Look who's talking now” he chuckled. He pulled out his cigarette and lit it up while he started smoking. “You know what, I am done being scared of what you can do to me, you suck and that's the truth” I said courageously with outrightly vulgar tone. “Watch your tongue, young lady. You might be calling yo

John's POV I am quite sure Sarah didn't see that question coming. She was very startled, but at the same time, she tried to hide the look from her very observant mother. “You look startled. Did I say anything wrong?” Her mother asked curiously as she made Sarah sit next time her. I was already seated, and I didn't have to wait for anybody to give me the order to take a seat. “No ... .No mum” she startled. Damn it! Sarah is seriously messing the whole thing up. “Ma'am, I am her fiancé ma. We haven't made it official, so that is why she has been hesitant to tell you” I replied. Actually, her mother has never met me in person before, and I didn't want to introduce myself to her. I preferred to remain anonymous in this situation. “Your voice sounds quite familiar. I have heard that voice somewhere, but I can't seem to place the face properly” she said. Here we go again. This woman is really smarter than I expected. Sarah didn't take after her fully in that case. “You must have the wr

John's POVWe both had boundaries. He was not supposed to be here. One thing I could not seem to place was the courage and nerves he had for doing this. He didn't look remorseful one bit. “Calm down, John. Just have a seat so that we can talk” he said calmly.“I am not doing that, I need you out of my office right now,” I said bluntly, looking so furious and enraged.“You need to relax. Go easy mate” he said. After giving what he said a deep thought, I decided to take a seat on my office chair, where I could get a clear view of him.Matt has a record of being very cunning, and I don't want to be outsmarted by a wacked up fellow like him. “So, I need you to start talking, or I would call the security on you” I threatened. But it seems like my threats meant nothing to him.“You have a history of giving empty threats,” he mocked me. Well, just watch me go.“Empty threats huh, o need you to take this man out of here right away” I ordered two of my bodyguards.They didn't hesitate to lift
Bidding for love Chapter 20
Sarah's POVI could feel a very large amount of pain on my head. I opened my eyes slowly but everywhere seemed too blurred, so I blinked again and gradually I began to see clearly.I hissed in pain as I moved myself on the chair to realise that I was actually tied to the chair I was sitting on. The environment seemed so strange, I have never been in this room before. Is this room in John's house? Where am I? Questions kept going through my head, and I had no answer for any of them.I noticed a dark image walking towards me. The light was on, but somehow, I could not get a clear image of who was coming. But when he was up close, I realised it was John.He had some weapons in his hand, which he kept on the desk right next time, at a place where I could see them very well. “Why did you tie me up? What's the meaning of all this?” I asked as I kept struggling to untie myself.Unfortunately, trying was useless because he made sure I was firmly tied. “You're awake,” he said. His expression a

Sarah's POVI could still feel very weak, but I knew I wasn't in the right place. This place didn't feel like my room. Where am I? I opened my eyes slowly, but my vision was blurry at first. I had to blink again before I could get a clear view of the place.I was in John's sitting room, and I was lying on a sofa. The last thing I remembered was while I was being tortured, and he also had me poisoned, so I don't understand why he made me lay on a sofa so comfortably. I tried to get up, but my muscles were so weary to lift me up.“Easy ma'am” Rosaline, the maiden who works in John's house, quickly rushed to me. I didn't see her in the sitting room when I opened my eyes. I guess I was less observant then.“How long have I been out?” I asked curiously with a very calm tone.“12 hours, ma. You were actually given a special sedative to help you get rest. Mr. Stones would be back soon, ” she said. I guess she has told me all I need to know.But what John gave me didn't feel like a sedative.
Bidding for love Chapter 22
Sarah's POV I was shocked at how he just asked me to come to his room. The last time I was in his room, he actually dealt with me and warned me not to come near his bedroom. I had a large appetite, but after he said that, I eventually lost my appetite. I was really nervous because I knew this was definitely not going to be good at all. I left the dining table and slowly walked up the staircase. I knocked on the door, but it was already open. So I slowly pushed the door open. My eyes were greeted with the sight of different materials that I was uncertain of. I didn't know what he was up to, but I knew it was not going to be good. “Come” he said as he stood next to the bed. His bed was a king-sized bed. For the first time, he had only his pants on. He wasn't wearing any shirts on. He had a really nice physique, there was no doubt about that. I slowly walked towards him, my limbs were already shaking, and my legs and my pan were getting really sweaty. I was a bit hesitant to walk to
Bidding for love Chapter 23
John's POVI had to call a doctor to take care of her because she was unconscious. “She'll be fine,” the doctor assured me.I had to take a seat on the sofa as I watched her sleep. Finally, she started moving on the bed, and I noticed she was waking up. She opened her eyes slowly and looked around in confusion. She tried to get up, but I had to quickly rush to her.“You need to rest,” I said as I placed my hand on her chest softly. The doctor had earlier said that she should try to get a good rest, and I shouldn't stress her.I was actually willing to follow those instructions. I didn't regret treating her the way I did because it actually made me feel good.“Where am I?” She asked confusingly. She looked very drowsy.“You're in your room. I have better things to do. The maiden would be here to take care of you. If you have any needs, do not fail to tell her, ” I said sternly as I walked out of the room.I had a business meeting to attend. I had investors coming, and I had a good feel

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
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
Bidding for love Chapter 84
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
