Katie’s POV"All I do is cook his food, clean his house and leave after that. We don't talk much unless it's necessary, but if l am to judge, I will say he's cold, talks less, and doesn't care what people have to say.""Selfish, huh?" I looked at Debby."No, ma'am. I would never call my boss selfish but he just doesn't care about being selfish but he just doesn't care about people's opinions." Debby rephrased her words, hoping I wouldn't get mad at her."I understand what you mean. It's been three weeks with him and I still don't understand who he is." I heaved a long exasperated sigh. "So, I do understand when you talk about his ambiguous characters.""Hmm, was it an arranged marriage?" Debby had already asked before she realized the gravity of her words. "I am sorry ma'am, this shouldn't be my business." She bowed her head. I laughed, shaking my head, I set all she needed, and discussed otherthings with Debby, but never answered her question.The bedroom was void when I got in. I
Katie's POV"There's nothing you can say, Cephus, I won't go and live in a club like some prostitute." I refused to, I was on the verge of tears, but I couldn't let him see the effect he had on me."Oh, but you'll go, remember how you owe me your life and everything you are? I saved you, I'm housing you, you need to pay back, but you know I have no qualms taking your life if you're not cooperative," He retorted, the hatred I have for me spreading in me even more. And to think I was trying to get to know him."Why are you like this? What did I do? What changed?" I whispered, making sure the fury in my face is evident, he didn't mind though."What changed is that I want you to leave this house and go to the club, you'll be working there anyways," he was getting frustrated, I could tell.As I opened my mouth to argue more, he pulled out a knife and held it to my throat."I knew that would shut you up," he snickered."Yes, it does," I shot back. He was still holding the knife to my throat
Cephus’ POV“Bring her back for today, we’ll go together for a full day tomorrow,” I instructed Romeo before letting him take her to the club. I probably knew getting her away from the house was not a good idea, but, I needed her out, I ensured her safety though."A casino is this big?" Her jaw dropped as her eyes kept ogling the skyscraper in front of her."Yeah, different activities are carried out here. What do you expect? Come with me." I put on my dark glasses and extended a hand out to her. She shook off and didn't take my hand."There is no need to put on a show, we don't usually do this." She said, waiting for me to start walking so she could follow behind me.I shrugged my shoulders and walked away from her, Katie trotted behind me, admiring my very tall frame and how my well-tailored suit fitted every one of my muscles, yes I could feel her eyes on me."Hey, wait up!" She stopped me when they got to the entrance. Looking around, she asked. "Is this place some kind of suite
Cephus’ POV"Come in," I called, hearing a knock at my office door.Freya waltzed into my office with sluggish gaits, she donned a long red skirt that stopped after her knees, a shirt that fully covered her chest and there was a blazer hanging on her shoulders."Good morning, sir." She greeted, scoffing as she gaped at me, thinking I haven't heard her."Freya, have your seat." I motioned to the chair before me. "Have you seen the proposal of Derrick's Firm?" I looked up from my papers to look into her eyes."Yes, I have and I have gone through it too." She affirmed, trying as much as possible to avoid my gaze. I have been mean to her since the day I warned her about her revealing dresses. She had tried to seduce me into sleeping with her like I used to do, but her efforts had been futile and she probably wondered what kind of woman I was with that I chose to remain faithful to her."What's your take on them?" I demanded, ruffling the papers in his hands. When Freya wasn't acting like
Cephus' POV.I stood abruptly from my chair, pulled my phone from my pocket, "Romeo, meet me at the club," I ordered and ended the call. I needed to see what Katie was doing to get my money back.As I entered the club, it was already packed with people willing to spend their money for a piece of ass."Cephus! My man!," I heard my name and turned to see a man who I usually share a drink with, whose name I never remember and he always takes offense to it.I forced a smile and exchanged a quick greeting before scanning the room for Katie. She was the best dancer in town, and I knew she could seduce any man she wanted. I spotted her at the center stage, her body moving in perfect rhythm to the music, and a trail of mesmerized men following her every move.I made my way towards her, my eyes locked on her, as if I was under a spell. Katie noticed me and gave me a sly smile, her hips swaying hypnotically as she danced towards me."What brings you here, Cephus?" she purred, her sultry voice s
Katie's POV"What do you think you are doing!" Cephus barked furiously, his eyebrows knitting. He had a heavy frown on his face which almost created wrinkles on his handsome face."I should be the one asking you that, Cephus. What the heck do you think you are doing right now? Can't you see that you are abusing my customer. First, you tell me to make you money by selling my body to men, and next thing, you are beating up the men who want me for no reason" I said, shaking my head. I was sounding annoyed.I wished that I was even stronger and powerful than him. Then, I would have ripped him to pieces."Freya… How could you?" He suddenly whispered, looking pitiful and hurtful.My eyebrows arched, confused. "What do you mean by that?" I asked."Freya…" He asked, coming closer to me, like he was hypnotized. The moment he got to me, he placed his warm hands on my cheek and smiled at my face. I quickly closed my eyes tightly and took my face to the other side, my lips were folded firmly."Ha
Cephus' POV"How dare she. She has got some guts!" I seethed, angrily, my teeth gnashing against each other. I was so mad that I couldn't hold myself any longer.I dashed out of the room, and ran after her in front. When I got to her, I grabbed her hand, and held it firmly, digging my long fingernails purposely into her skin."Ouch!" She cried. "What do you think you are doing? Let me go!""Come with me. It seems you have forgotten the hand that feeds you" I said, angrily as I pulled her away, even when she felt reluctant."What is going on?" She questioned. "Can you explain what is happening?"Fear was in her voice, and I liked it. I would use it against her, and make sure that she regrets biting the hand that feeds her, and that was my hand.I stopped suddenly and pushed her to the wall. She groaned painfully and looked at me. "What are you doing? Why are you doing this to me?" She asked, fearfully."Don't act oblivious, Katie. You know that it's your fault that I'm being this way,
Cephus' POVIt had been three days since Romeo and Katie were put in the cell. I tried not to worry or overthink it, but it was difficult. That morning, I took a cool bath and dressed up before ordering that food be given to the prisoners.Afterwards, I left the mansion and headed straight to the club. As I entered, I noticed people whispering and stealing glances at me. I couldn't hold it in any longer and approached two girls who were whispering to each other and staring at me, obviously."What is going on?" I asked the girls who shivered, and went mute immediately."Excuse me?" The girls asked, and avoided sharing eye contact with me."What are you two talking about? Why were you staring at me?" I asked, and they both gulped audibly, and I noticed how pale and nervous their faces looked."We are sorry, It's nothing important though" The second girl, who seemed different from her friend replied."You had better talk if you don't want me to punish you. Don't annoy me!" I growled, poi
