Cephus' POV.
"Do you think you can ambush me and get away with it?" I made my voice as menacing as possible and the scared look on my prisoner's face satisfied me a lot.
"You don't scare me," his voice wavered as he tried to sound strong, but I could tell he was on the verge of breaking.
"Oh yes? How about this?" I pressed the hot burning iron into his thighs as he screamed at the top of his lungs, for a man trying to sound strong, he sure looked like a sissy in distress.
I chuckled evilly, "Where is your base? Where is your boss hiding?" I questioned him for the umpteenth time, but all he let out was a bucket full of sob.
"I don't know," he looked pathetic and I couldn't stand looking at his face, so I left the place to my right hand man, Arman.
"Come on, Romeo, come find this fucker for me," I signalled to the computer genius, making him follow me out of the room.
He hurriedly fished out his computer and walked with me, "Boss, there is a tracker embedded into his neck, if I could hack into it, I may be able to figure out where it is from and wherever that is will surely lead us to their boss,"
I nodded, "Do your thing, you have one hour," I entered my office and let out a breath of frustration.
Since Freya was killed by the Cobra gang, I have not been able to get my revenge, but nothing will stop me from getting my revenge. I held my head in frustration, feeling the tick in my skin, wanting to let out the feelings in one way, then I thought of the new girl that claimed to be a virgin, I chuckled evilly at that thought.
"A virgin? At this time and age?" I laughed out loud and Romeo entered my office looking at me like I've grown two heads.
I abandoned my thoughts on the new girl to concentrate on my revenge, "What did you find?"
He smiled and that brought a smug look to my face, "I found them," he declared with a whooping sound.
I smirked, "Where are they?" Romeo looked at me in pity as I asked.
"I'm so sorry boss, but they're at your private house, the one you usually go to with Freya," that would explain it. Everyone knew how sensitive that venue is for me, but it seems Felix wanted to have a laugh at my misery.
I will not give him that choice, as I will be the one having the last laugh after I rip his head off of his body.
"Gather the men and let's go," I commanded in a grim voice as I fished out my golden gun from it's confinement.
The men applauded when they saw the gun, "To battle," I yelled and they all cheered in a single voice.
I made a quick stop at the basement, "Gaylord, I need you to do a few things, someone will come around in about an hour to speak to you," I gave him orders.
Gaylord nodded, grinning, "I'll have everything in place," he promised.
I looked at Gaylord, admiring his loyalty, "As always, you did good," I patted his back and inspected the uniforms he had acquired.
"You are a genius, Gaylord, the uniforms were just what I was looking for, thank you," I instructed him on what to do next.
He nodded and saluted me, "You're welcome, my lord," he turned to the other two men and they saluted me as well.
"Have the men ready by this evening, I want to leave as soon as possible," I won't let Felix and his entire gang get away with killing the love of my life, this means ambushing them at their location.
As I returned to my office to make the final preparations, I couldn't help but reminisce when it happened, when Freya died and I couldn't do a thing about it.
"You promised you won't harm her, Felix," I was surprisingly calm, but inside, I will do everything to save her.
Felix laughed, "Oh, I won't. But my men will and she will have no one to protect her," he closed the distance between us and I could see a lust-filled look in his eyes, "And she's a virgin, too,"
"Don't you touch her," I shot my hand forward and pushed him back, my hand connected with his face with a loud smack.
"You will not touch her," I repeated in the same tone as before.
Felix sucked his right hand and glared at me, "We'll see about that," he walked off to where they had Freya in captivity and I growled at his back. I ran down the stairs and approached the door to my room, but before I could move any further, a gunshot sounded.
"No" I stopped in my tracks, my heart beating too fast and for the first time in my life I wish I could rewind time.
But, I couldn't, I could only run forward and see as my love dropped to the ground, her eyes contorted in pain, holding on to the last breath of her life. We had promises to be fulfilled, hut Felix took everything from me.
"Freya!" I ran and screamed, trying to catch her.
"I love you Jandy," I chuckled through my pain, she knew how much I hated being called that.
"No, please stay with me," but there was nothing I could do, she died. Just like Loraine did.
A sharp knock brought me out of my memories and I didn't realize a lone tear has escaped my eyes.
"What?!" I shouted and Romeo rushed in, his eyes filled with uncertainty and I knew immediately that something was wrong.
"What is it?" I quickly rushed forward, being alert too.
"They moved boss, and their location is now concealed," he answered, his voice dropping an octave, knowing full well I'll be pissed.
"Fuck!" I gripped my hair in frustration as Romeo rushed out of my office, "I need a drink." I took my car keys and drive straight to the club hoping to take care of my foul mood, but what I was met with made me even more angry.
"What do you think you're doing?!" My voice boomed, startling everyone I intended for to be startled.
Katie's POV"Thank you," I made sure to fill my voice with enough gratitude as I looked at Cephus. I never thought he would come to save me.He looked pissed, "I can't have damaged goods working in my club now, can I?" His reply made me shiver."Is that all you think of me? A good to be used to bring in profit for yourself?" I was on the verge of crying, but his emotions were shut off that I could barely get a read. One thing was for sure though, he meant every word."Get back to making me money, pet," He grabbed me by the arm, pulling me out of the room into the dance floor where I can continue shaking my ass off to strangers that get off of it.I felt disgusted with myself as I danced for the men and women in the club. The way they looked at me, like I was nothing more than a piece of meat, made my skin crawl. But I had no choice. Cephus owned me now, and I was at his mercy.As I danced, I caught a glimpse of a man in the corner of the room. He was watching me intently, but there wa
Cephus' POV."Give me the strongest drink on the menu," I slapped my hands on the counter, startling the bar tender for the night. The place is mine, so no one dared question my actions.To say I was pissed after Romeo informed me of Felix's moving would be an understatement.I took a swig of the drink and felt the burn down my throat, momentarily easing the anger coursing through my veins. I couldn't believe Felix had the audacity to move without consulting me first. We had a deal, and he knew the consequences if he ever tried to break it. I looked around the bar, taking in the dimly lit room and the hushed conversations of the patrons. This place was my sanctuary, a place where I could escape the chaos of my life and unwind. But tonight, even the comforting atmosphere couldn't calm my nerves. I needed to figure out what to do about Felix.As I pondered my next move, a voice interrupted my thoughts. "Cephus, can we talk?" It was Sophia, my ex-girlfriend. I hadn't seen her in months,
Katie's POVMy eyebrows arched as I tried to apprehend whatever he was saying. I realized he was really drunk at that point, and I couldn't be so nervous, when I noticed that his whole body was against mine, like we were couples.I looked around, and sighed in relief, when I noticed there were only a few people around, and even those there, looked like they weren't concerned about us. Instead, they were all focused on their business or whatever they came for."Freya" I heard Cephus's whisper, and my eyes blinked."Why does he keep saying that?" I whispered to myself, and hissed before slightly pushing him.Even without using enough strength, he fell to the floor, like he was light and loose. I gasped shockingly, and crouched low."Gosh! Why did he drink to this extent" I muttered, releasing a soft, depressing sigh.I wanted to help him and lead him to the sofa at the side, but he was quite heavy, and I was exhausted already. All the dancing and moving that day, made me so tired.I nev
Katie's POVMy eyes blinked, and I tried not to allow the tears to leave my eyes. I couldn't believe he treated me that way, despite helping him. I felt my heartbreak and at that point, I couldn't hold the tears any more, so it started leaving my eyes.I felt like a fool, and I regretted bringing him to my place, and even seeing him at the bar. If only I ignored him and left before he dropped drunk."Asshole" I sniffed, rubbing my itching and runny nose with my hand.The door suddenly opened and when I looked up, I saw Cephus. He was glaring stonily at me, like we were both enemies before birth. I felt flabbergasted to notice his sudden and uncalled presence.He walked closer to me, and I shifted back. I prayed that he wouldn't hurt me, but what was he doing back here anyway. Did he probably hear me when I called him an asshole.My heart kept beating fast as he walked closer. I couldn't even look him in the eye, so I kept dodging it."Look at me" I heard his cold voice order. I slowly
Katie's POVI was still crying, and sobbing loudly, with my body laid down, and my face on the floor, when I heard another knock. I jerked, and slowly looked up at the door, whilst trying to control my heart which was beating very fast.I couldn't even say a word, as I was too scared and nervous. Was it Cephus again? Why won't he just let me be for once? What did I do to deserve this mess! I shouldn't have been born if I knew that my life would be so cruel.The door started shaking as a result of the force and continuous knocking. I sniffled quietly, and slowly stood up, then walked to the wooden door.Touching it with my palm, I stuttered in a whisper. "Who… Who is that?""Open this darn door before I break it down!" I heard a very familiar voice yell, and my eyes blinked fast as I tried to apprehend the person's voice.My eyes widened when I thought of who might have the voice- It was the landlord!"Mr. Landlord?" I stuttered, as my hand reached towards the knob, before opening it.
Cephus' POVThat morning, my eyes slowly opened, and it came in contact with a strange ceiling. I felt my head aching and I groaned, hurtfully.I stood up, and sat on the sofa which I had been lying on, with my eyes looking around. "Where the fuck am I?" I murdered, my eyes slowly squinting.My eyes widened in shock, when I saw a picture hanging on the wall. It was none other than Katie."What the hell" I whispered, as I slowly stood up. "Don't tell me that I am…"I paused and swirled around to understand the whole thing, and that was when I realized where I was- Katie's poorly furnished room which disgusted me to the core."Fuck!" I screamed, and it didn't take long for Katie to appear before me. I was feeling furious, not minding the pure and innocent look she kept on her face. I was glaring hard at her, that she feared that my ears would shoot lasers and bullets to her face."Are you awake?" She asked in a whisper"What is this!" I abruptly yelled, causing shivers to run through he
Katie's POVCephus donned a white shirt, a pair of blue trousers and a black suit jacket. He stood by the mirror side and checked himself. When he was satisfied with his look, he turned back to me who was still struggling with finding a decent dress to put on.“You will come with me today and pretend to be my wife, no questions, get dressed,” he had told me and walked away, leaving no room for questions. I shook my head and followed the order.I was ferreting the closet but I didn't like any of the clothes in time, I hadn't checked it until now, a small scowl marred my face as I rummaged through the closet. 'Why would Cephus get me such indecent clothes?' I hissed inwardly, I was not used to exposing my body, and I won’t start that now."Haven't you figured out what to wear?" His cold voice propelled quakes to my insides, but I didn't respond to him. I continued the search and got hold of a blue dress that looked longer and covered more parts of my body. I picked it up and heaved a s
Katie’s POV"You said my name when we were taking the wedding vows." I reminded him, playing along to his game of being his wife."I wouldn't have asked if I still remember." He retorted."I'm disappointed. Who am I to you?" I asked him, as tears stained my cheeks, I was trying hard not to cry but it didn't work. How can my so-called husband not know my name?"That question is unnecessary now. What I need to know is your name." He insisted.I picked up my purse and glared at him."You should figure it out." I left the room with a flounce. Cephus went after me, he hated that I was making things difficult. He gripped my arms when I got to the living room."Stop making this hard, tell me what your name is." He said, looking into my eyes. I shook my head disappointedly. "Katie!" I shouted and pushed him away. "That's it if you care to know." I hissed and left the living room, I walked into the garage with numbness in my heart, I was too sad to think that Cephus didn't know my name.They
