LINXARA BROOKE
These people?
I don't know them. I have never seen them before in my entire life. Especially this person who seemed to be the boss of them. He didn't tell them to stop dragging me. Even Nicole couldn't say anything. I was rough-handled like I committed a crime. I was handled like they didn't want my existence.
I kicked against the floor trying to stop them. "Let me go! Leave me alone!" I yelled out but no one seemed to answer me. They all ignored my screams. "I told you that I don't know you. Where are you taking me?" I voiced out and once we were out of the building, four flashy cars were waiting.
One of the men dressed in a tailored suit opened the car door for the man and he entered without looking back. I was dragged into one of the flashy cars. "Please, let me go. Mr, please I don't know you. I didn't do anything wrong. Where are you taking me?" I screamed with tears pouring down my eyes. I have never been embarrassed like this in my life. I was the gentle one.
After I was dragged into the black car, it sped off. I kept pleading to the man beside me to let me go. "I am begging you, sir. I didn't do anything wrong. I swear. I didn't do anything." I cried in tears. The man in black only looked at me and turned his face away.
"Then let me go if you won't be saying anything. Let me go if you won't tell me what I did for you to take me from my job and drag me in here." I uttered, attempting to tap the man then he caught my hand and frowned.
"No touching. When you get to our destination, you will find out what you did wrong." The man said simply and yanked my hand off, hurting me. More tears flowed in. I was being kidnapped, and there was no one to help me, and the next thing I thought of was my phone. My cellphone. I touched my pocket but couldn't find anything.
I could only call two people. Vivian, a friend of mine, and my twin sister, Vanessa. I must have left my phone in the changing room in the restaurant. Just before I knew it, the car stopped and the man stepped out and came to my side to drag me out.
I was dragged out and I was met with the most gigantic buildings. It was obvious that I was at a mansion. The most breathtaking mansion I have ever seen. The exterior design was top-notch and the fountain was extraordinary. There were so many cars of different models. So many cars that I couldn't count. The owner of this property must be a rich tycoon. Even if I worked for twenty years, I could never gather all these things.
My top priority is my sick mother. I have to find a way to leave this place. I don't know anybody here. I don't know what I have done wrong. I was grabbed by two men and they whisked me inside like I was a criminal. I didn't have the time to take in the enormous view of the interior design. I was locked into a room.
With a princess bed and all, the neutral color of the room. I fidgeted because the cold was too much for me to bear. So cold, that my lips began to tremble. I have never been to a place as cold as this before. I stood up on my feet and looked around looking for how I was going to escape. I moved over to the six set drawers and opened them one after the other. Rummaging through them, hoping that I would find something to use.
I moved from the drawers to the window, but the slides weren't looking like anything that I had seen before. They were expensive and hard to break through, even though I wanted to escape. When I found out that nothing was of no use, I paced back and forth. I glanced at the wall clock, it was already past eight in the night. Tonight, I don't know what my fate will be.
Just as I was thinking about what was happening, the door burst open, and that man entered. The one whose presence was intimidating, making me scared. I shivered in my fear as he slammed the door shut. I have never seen him before.
"You think you are so smart right?" He blurted in a deep, dark voice. "Please sir, I am begging you. I have to go back to my mother. She is sick and she needs my help. Please, let me go back." I pleaded hoping he would at least hear me and let me leave. Tears rolled off my eyes. I bite my lips.
He only smirked and folded his arms, flexing his biceps and the tattoos lacing around it. His lips weren't smiling and his face was void of emotions. "All I asked from you was a lap dance. A fucking private lap dance!" He yelled, scaring the hell out of me.
A private lap dance? I...I ran my fingers through my hair. A lap dance? Hell no. I didn't do a lap dance for anyone. I swear I didn't.
"Lap dance," I whispered trying to remember. What the fuck? It's Vanessa. It's her. She's the one. She is the only one who offers a private lap dance. This is a misunderstanding.
I raised my head just to find the man right in front of my face scaring me the more. I had to shift back and he kept coming closer. He did that till I had no space to move to. My back landed on the wall.
"I think this is a misunderstanding sir. I wasn't the one who gave you a lap dance."
He pulled a wicked look. "Do you think you can fool me? Do you think so? You were the one. You are not going to escape this. I will teach you a lesson." He suddenly said and grabbed my neck.
I screamed as he wrapped it even tighter. "Is this what you want? Then I will get you behind bars. By the time you rot in jail, you will provide my cash and my golden wristwatch."
He pushed me to the floor and some people marched in.
They weren't just ordinary people. The cops.
No, he isn't going to arrest me right?
LINXARA BROOKESuddenly, two of the female cops grabbed my arms on both sides. I struggled to get their hands off me but they didn't move. They were like bricks. It left me wondering how much they have exercised for them to look like this. That aside, I shifted my gaze to the heartless man who refused to listen to me. "I promise you, I didn't steal your money or your golden wristwatch. I swear to you." I said, hoping he would listen to me but this devil-like man wasn't ready to listen to my bullshit. "Oh, are you saying that I am a fool? That I was drunk? It was you. You gave me a private service. I paid you, and you still went ahead to do what you want, and now you have to face the consequences. Do you understand that?" He seethed and his face grew even darker. I felt anger brewing in the depths of my stomach. How else was I going to prove myself to this heartless man? I am a virgin. I have never done such nasty things with him. Who else is going to believe me now? My boss. My bo
LINXARA BROOKE "Don't cry! Don't worry about me, Vivian. I will be fine. Just help me take care of my mother, please. Don't let anything bad happen to her. She can't suffer. I promise I will find a way to get out of here. Please, don't tell her I got arrested okay? Just find something to tell her." I pleaded in tears with her. "That twin sister of yours is a devil. She is evil. Can you imagine she hasn't come home since two days ago? I heard from your mother when I went to visit your house yesterday." Vivian blurted angrily. I knew she was mad. "I will take care of myself. Leave Vanessa. She knew she had done something wrong. I just need to put a call through Nicole. Only she can clear my name." I said with tears coming out of my puffy eyes. "I will do what you ask. Please don't cry. I will find a way to calm your mother. I will come to visit soon. But do you think Nicole will clear your name? She won't even do that for anyone. You know how she is. She hates you." I sighed. "Don'
LINXARA POVCladded in a rolled-up sleeve, white shirt,, and a black office pant. His blue eyes were scanning me, taking in my look. Honestly, I don't care; I have no business with this man at all. I don't have a business with him. I don't even know him at all. This was all Vynessa's fault. She was the one who slept with him. I have never slept with someone in my life. My gaze shifted to the brown envelope on the table. What was it about? Was he about to sue me further and take me to court? How do I explain to this hard-headed and hot-tempered man that I know nothing about his missing jewelry and money?I folded my arms. I still have to let him understand that I didn't steal from him. It wasn't me but the problem was that I was finding it so hard to say it was my twin sister. The police will find her, capture her, and throw her in jail. This will lead to depression for my mother. Something bad might happen to her. Her blood pressure will go higher. I'd rather stay here and prevent t
LINXARA'S POV No! I can't suffer for my sister's crimes. I wasn't even the one that slept with his ass that night, so he won't force me to do what I don't want to do. I won't take others from anybody, not especially from someone like him. I stared deep back into his eyes while he did the same thing and I leaned over the table. "You can do whatever you want but I will not do any of those things. I won't get married to you and I definitely won't allow you to touch me. I am not giving birth to your kids, so get the fuck out of here and go look for the person that stole your property." I seethed and turned to walk away when he suddenly grabbed my wrist preventing me from leaving. His blue piercing eyes held no emotions. It was like he was going to hurt me if I didn't do what he was asking of me. I don't care. I hate when someone forces me to do things I don't want to do, so definitely, his offers are no exception. "You aren't about walking away from me, right? How about I drag you out
LINXARA'S POV I ran as fast as I could, trying to get out of this huge place. I kept running like my life depended on it, but it felt like no matter how fast I ran, I was running in circles. Like running from a point and coming back to that same point again. My visions were getting blurry. I was getting weaker, and before I knew it, I stumbled on the floor, and I felt a sharp pain in my ankle. The pain held me down like a predator holding down its prey. Then he caught up with me staring deep into my eyes like he was going to hit me. I raised my arm, using it like a shield, thinking he was going to hit me, but he didn't. Instead, he went on his knees in front of me, and I burst into tears, pleading with me not to hurt me and to let me go. Tears rolled out of my eyes. "Please I am begging you, don't hurt me. Let me go home. I don't want to be here at all. Please. I am not used to this kind of life. I didn't steal your stuff. Please. I want to go home to my mother. I want to -" "Shh
LINXARA'S POV WHAT the actual hell was he thinking huh? I can't go to see his parents. How was I going to do that? Paxton and I barely know each other. We barely even talked to each other ever since I met him in a compromising way. Fuck you, Vanessa. Fuck you for everything you have dragged me into. I don't hate you but you will meet your karma right in front of you when the time comes. I ran my fingers through my hair and bit my lips. "Hey stop doing that." He said looking down at me."Doing what? What do you want me to do then? I told you that I don't know you. I didn't steal anything away from you. My life would have been better without your ass-butting into my life. My life was peaceful before I met you." I retorted and he smirked. "You don't seem like the type of person who would use strong language, given your gentle appearance." He pointed out. I rolled my eyes and scoffed. What was he taking me for? Who does he think I am?"I am a virgin but not a saint," I uttered. I don't
LINXARA'S POVI was faced with ten wealthy people. His family members. My heart raced so fast as their eyes bored into my skin. I bit my lips as their judging eyes pierced through my body. It was like they were waiting for me to say something. My gaze shifted to Paxton whose eyes were on mine. Sweats formed on my palm. "What is this...I can't..." I said silently through gritted teeth. Paxton looked away, cutting me off completely. Just as I was about to say something, two identical twins rushed to me instantly and hugged me. My heart almost dropped. One of the twins kept kissing my cheek, giggling. "Oh, brother. Your girlfriend is so pretty." The twin sister kissing my cheek squealed and the rest of them laughed. "I love your skin. What skincare product do you go for? Fenty? Rare? Sephora? Mag -"The second twin sister was cut off by a tall man in his fifties. He has the same eye color as Paxton and the same hair color. Looking at them, one could see that he is the older version
LINXARA'S POV "NO, this is not happening. What do they mean by wedding preparations? It's too soon." I protested, entering the room that was prepared for us. I put my hands around my waist as I pondered about it. The wedding is too soon. "Yes, Linxara. We are getting married in three days." He dropped the bombshell. I turned around swiftly staring into his eyes. "You are not serious," I whispered. "What? You think I am joking?" He questioned and put his hand in his pocket, bringing out a pack of cigarettes. He pulled out one and lighted it. He didn't bother to think about my well-being. He smoked in front of me. "Three days is out of it. I already told you I don't want to get married to you. Why do you make it your hobby to make my life a living hell?" He sat on the bed and smirked. "You are getting married to me whether you like it or not. So don't even think about arguing about this further because your mother is already aware of it and guess what? She has consented to it. Inc
