***ZANE'S POV***It has been twenty minutes since London left to use the bathroom and I am starting to get worried. I shouldn't have let her go alone. The atmosphere of the restaurant is now dark and I notice the worn-out faces of the men sitting around me. How haven't I noticed something was wrong?Picking my phone, I dial Reaper's number and thank God, he picks up the first ring. "Get the men to the restaurant, London has gone to the bathroom and hasn't shown up till now. I want to go check on her," I say hanging up. Since Reaper, Sinner, Pierre, and Jesse were trailing us behind and had stayed on alert, they showed up in less than a minute. "Be discrete while I go to the bathroom. Reaper, you come with me," I tell him walking away. I remove the gun from my holster and facing it down, I walk towards the restroom. "Do you think this was the trap London was asking you to involve her in?" Reaper asks halfway to the women's restroom and I stand, transfixed and my ey
***LONDON'S POV***Twenty minutes Earlier"You can't touch me, Michael, I thought we were friends?" I ask taking a step backward. The man's hooded eyes were scary, it made me scared and with each step I took backward, I wished I hadn't come here. Michael blocks me, and using his right hand, he makes a tear into my dress as he starts fumbling with my outfit. I open my mouth to scream but he smears his lips on mine, sucking, biting, and drawing out blood.For a moment, a small scream perched in my throat, I couldn't release it, I was trapped in a bathroom with my husband's enemy. If I wasn't going to take him out, I was at least going to defend myself. Lifting my knee, I knock hard on Mike's cock and I watch how he lets go of me. This was the chance I got to escape but I was too slow. Before I knew it, Michael's large hand was grasping my hair causing me to squeal effortlessly. It didn't work, didn't man was bent on hurting me. "You need to stop, Michael, I am not here
***ZANE'S POV***I was pissed off, London was going to be the death of me. And it was at the peak of my anger that I saw it. The fingerprints on her goddamn neck. "Don't give me that lame excuse of this space being the ladies' restroom," I shot out as I grabbed her arm and started leading her toward the door. I was stopped by Reaper. "No one is in the stalls, Boss," he says. "As it should be. Did you think I was in here with another man? Please, stop being paranoid, husband. I am hungry," London blurts out. She is panicking, I know my wife so much to know she is hiding something from me. "I heard the mirror break, was that an accident?" I ask, my eyes trained on the pieces of glass scattered on the floor. "Yes, it was," she confirms squirming in place. I didn't utter a word, instead, I led her outside, thinking about that look she had on her face. A swollen lips like she had been kissed. Finger prints on her neck like she was being forcefully attacked whatever Lon
***LONDON'S POV***'Oh shit! Fucking shit! Zane isn't bluffing when he says he is going to torture answers out of me,' I think for a reason not to let him do so, but Zane is now rolling his shirt up, making sure that I know what is coming for me. "Can I use my safe word, please?" I ask trembling. "You wouldn't need a safe word if you open up to me, London. Unless... You are hiding information from me, huh?" he demanded walking behind me, prolonging my torture. I closed my eyes, bracing for the first whip, but that was the craziest part because I would know when Zane was going to strike first. "Daddy..." I murmured and then it came hard on my backside. "Ow! Fuck! Daddy Owwie!" I scream out as I start jumping on my tippy toes. Zane gave a second blow, and a third on my backside as I screamed and squealed. My hands hurt from their restraints, and whenever I tried pulling my hand from the restraints, the slash on my hand caused by the cut of the mirror made me cry harder.
***ZANE'S POV***The rage that tore through my body was sure going to make me lose control, thus, I needed a calm mind, I needed to be calm so that I hear what London had to say. Walking back to her, I uncuff her, helping her to the seat opposite my desk while I pace the floor. "Talk!" I order, trying hard to control my rage. "What do you want to know?" London asks. "Don't bitch with me right now, London. I wouldn't hesitate to punish you harder," I bite out. I would never give London so much punishment that she wouldn't take it, but when she had used her safe word with me, I knew I had to cut it off.Now, she just had the fear that I might punish her again. "Michael walked into the bathroom and shut the door," she states. When I wait for further information, nothing comes, thus, I get to the second phase of getting information from my wife.Questioning her. "What did the bastard do to you?" I ask. London's cries had quieted now, but she still did little quirky so
***LONDON'S POV***I step out of the elevator car and Reaper is walking towards me. He hasn't noticed me yet, thus, I take a curve to the coffee machine in the lobby and act like I want a cup of coffee. My heart is beating hard because by now, Sinner will be asleep and if they notice I am not at home, that will be the end of my escapades. The worst is that I haven't even left the building yet. The elevator dings and from the corner of my eye, I see Reaper walk into it. Sighing, I grab my hoodie cap and put it over my head. Flagging down a cab, I instructed him where I was going to. "That's a secured neighborhood, Ma'am," the cab driver says as I sit in the car, looking away from the building. "I know," just take me there please," I say relaxing just a weeny bit. I was feeling quite uncomfortable, my chest was tight and no matter what I did, I found it difficult to be making such a movement like this one. Zane would be sick with worry when he woke up to find me gone
***LONDON'S POV***The smell of blood and the rustic taste of metal penetrates my mouth as I blink severally, trying to shake it off. "The whore is finally awake," I hear Oliver's unmistakable voice and I straighten up. I was in a room, probably locked somewhere in the mansion but I wasn't in chains. "I am not a whore," I bite out snarling at Oliver. How the fuck does he even know Michael? What part of the puzzle am I missing? I wonder. Getting in bed with me, Oliver pulls my hair so that I am staring at him. "Of course, you are," he yanks my hair and I scream in pain. "You don't know me," I yell at him. This time, Oliver pinches my chin and forces my head to look at him and I look away. He forces me to stare and he speaks. "The last time we met, our meeting was brief and halted by some guy I heard you are now married to," he says touching me with his greasy fingers. I try avoiding him but he groans in disgust, making me stop. "It's a good thing to know you are
***ZANE'S POV***TWO DAYS LATER"I need all of my men out there searching for my wife. If you see that fucking cab that took her, I want him here," I bark out the orders fuming. It has been two whole days since London left the house and to say the least that I am terrified is a mild act. I want my wife, to see her, kiss her. Hug her. I need London. "Yes, Boss," Reaper answers walking out of the room. Grabbing my glass of whiskey, I gulp down the amber liquid from it. My chest hurts so badly, I've barely closed my eyes for the two days that London had been away from me. A knock comes from my office door and with a grunt of approval, I see Micah walk into the room. "She's no where, Zane. She could be anywhere. I wonder where my baby sister is right now," he mutters, blinking his eyes severally. Taking a deep breathe, I blow it out of my mouth, and direct him to a seat. This time when Micah walks to me for a drink, I offer him one and watch how he takes a seat and st
