Amy got to the hotel entrance first and waited for Ava to catch up with her. She forgot her towel at the beach and she turned to the varlet at the door, "please can I get a towel" he nodded and disappeared inside.

Ava ran to her and held the wall for support as she tried to catch her breath. Amy looked at her and laughed, "why are you so exhausted?The distance wasn't that far".

"It wasn't that close either and I was trying to catch up with you, you run like a horse". Amy laughed again, the varlet returned and handed a towel to her.

"Thank you". She said to him and he went back to his position.

She tied the towel around her waist as she let Ava catch her breath, she didn't like the way her butt cheeks were on display. "You've got good legs for running, did you ever try out for track?"

"Nope" Amy shook her head as they walked back to their room. "Football then", "nope", "okay soccer", "nope, my parents would not approve of me running round a field, sweating like a dog". Ava laughed,

    "Chug, chug, chug, chug" they chanted, cheering at Carie who was chugging beer from a large pipe connected to a large barrel of beer. They had gone to one of the clubs downtown for the night.So far they were having fun even Amy who did not usually like places like these had loosened up and had two bottles of beer and several glasses of vodka. Her phone pinged and lit up with a message from an unknown number.You look really pretty in that sundress.Amy was confused and scanned through the crowded club to see you must have sent her that message but couldn't find anyone's eyes on her. She tapped Ava on the shoulder and showed the message to her. "Our admirer has texted you, he's probably here somewhere, gawking at you" Ava said, still drinking from a bottle. Amy typed back to him, Thank you Antoine, now come out of hiding and buy me a bottle of beer"She really did not need another bottle of beer, she just wanted to be sure it was him, she hated it if she had the feeling that someone

    Sarah gasped and turned to Amy, "isn't that Reynolds?'' Amy, too drunk to speak, nodded her head. They got to the entrance of the hotel and Reynolds stood up and approached them. "Rey... Reynolds what are you doing..here?" Amy stammered, Reynolds looked around at the others “you guys can go, I just need my wife”he said to the others and then walked in leaving them outside. Antoine was still holding on to Amy, wondering what he should do, if he let go of her ,she would fall to the ground and if he stood there, the man in front of him would raze him to the ground.Reynolds looked at the hand placement of Antoine, his eyes darkening the more when he saw his hands wrapped round Amy's waist. "What are you doing with my wife?", "No.. nothing....we just met earlier..." he stammered, Reynolds stared him dead in the eye unnerving him, "so you make it a habit to pick up people's wives". "No,no I didn't know she was married bro, here you can have her". He said and pushed her to him, Antoine

  • TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN   HANGOVER

    Looking down at what she was wearing, Amy thought of how she would leave the room to the other room she shared with Ava. She had no single piece of clothing in here, apart from the puke stained clothes which was very unacceptable. Her phone, where was it? She went into the toilet and picked up her discarded dress with the tips of fingers and searched through the pocket but couldn't find the phone. She walked back into the room, aware of Reynolds eyes on her, he had taken off his shirt and was now chest bare fiddling through his phone but she was much too hungover to ogle at his beautiful form."I can't find my phone", "yeah because you were much too busy getting drunk with Anthony to mind your phone and personal effects. Amy denoted a hint of dry sarcasm from his voice, she wasn't going to fall for it, not today, if he wanted to call him Anthony fine, he could call him whatever he wanted."you're obviously of no help to me Mr Bennett so I think I have to get going now, I need to see

    Amy looked around the store in awe, although she owned some gucci products, she had never been to the store. "You're drooling," Reynolds said and nudged her forward. A middle aged man in a tuxedo with the biggest bow tie Amy had ever seen walked up to them, "welcome, Mr Bennet it's nice to see you again".It made complete sense that they would know him, who in the world doesn't know of Reynolds Bennet's existence. "Come this way" the man gestured to them and led the way.Amy eyes perused the different products lining the shelves as they walked by. Carie would love one of these she thought as her eyes fell on a brown leather bag with the fashion brand inscribed on it."Do you fancy that one?" Amy gave Reynolds a slant look, "not quite, but I think Carie would love this. This place reeks of extravagance Reynolds, why would you want to get something from here?". "I know the Carlos twins, Amy, they're vain enough to gush over Gucci products. I want your gift to be the best of all and I

  • TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN   THE PARTY

    "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Carie and Marie, happy birthday to you!" Everyone in the cruise ship sang. They all clapped and whistled when they blew out their birthday candles. Amy looked around the room, she knew that the Carlos family had money but she didn't expect such an enormous ship, it made beautiful look like an understatement, this must have cost up to $900 million. They were gathered in the buffet restaurant, which was as large as the dining room in Reynolds house.There was a card room, a bar and even a fitness gym. Amy had never been on a ship before, more or less a ship as big as this. The chattering and laughter increased, cutting off her thoughts and she took a sweep of the room. She had underestimated the extent of their friend group, well they were celebrities, they obviously had a sizable amount of friends. Who wouldn't want to be friends with the Carlos twins?She had recognized some of the actors and actresses she had seen on screen, she saw Belinda

    Standing on the deck, the wind blew softly around her. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she felt as if she would suffocate in there. Antoine stood beside her, looking ahead at the sea, "why marry him?". Amy opened her eyes and turned to him, she had not expected that question. "Our parents had arranged our marriage, It was mutual". "Don't you feel trapped with him at times?"Amy's brows furrowed, she was not comfortable with this line of conversation at all. The last thing she felt around Reynolds was being trapped, "not really". She sensed footsteps behind her and before she could turn someone tapped her lightly on the shoulder.She turned and gasped when she saw who it was, "David!" She screamed and jumped into his hands. "Hi there stranger" he mumbled into her hair, she moved away from him, "what are you doing here?". "I'm friends with Ava and Carie, remember?, I was invited". "But I didn't see you in there, were you hiding from me?" She teased and he tensed up becau

  • TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN   BAD NEWS

    Reynolds looked at the rose bushes and images of Amy crouching beside the bush pulling tentatively at weeds flashed through his vision. Images of her haunted him whenever she wasn't around him, making him yearn and pine for her like a little boy after a bar of chocolate. Sex with her felt like normalcy with a mixture of delight, delight so insane it felt surreal. Since the first time on the ship, they could barely keep their hands off each other, tearing at each other's clothes at any slight opportunity. He smiled and watched his grandma water the lily patch, his thoughts quickly switched to her. Her doctor had called him to give him feedback from the tests she carried out routinely in the hospital.Her heart condition was getting worse by the day, he said something about her valves being defective and would need to be replaced. The chances of her surviving the surgery was slim, and the recovery rate was really slow especially for someone her age. Since he heard the news, he found

    Amy didn’t say a word and walked out of the room with Reynolds behind him .They stepped out of the car, Amy's hand tucked into the crook of his elbow. The entrance to the venue was crammed with reporters, bloggers and what not. Somehow they had been tipped off that Reynolds Bennet and his wife was going to be in attendance and they came out in numbers, crowding the entrance of the hotel where the engagement party was to take place. As if on cue, immediately they spotted the couple making their way to the door they gathered round them trying to shove their cameras and different microphones, looking for a statement."Mrs Bennet since the accident you've been quiet, are congratulations in order?"Amy turned to Reynolds, a questioning look on her face, "what are they talking about '', "ignore them, they're just chasing clout". Reynolds said and held her hand wading off the persistent reporters till they got into the venue. The hall was already packed with people, the couple sighted th

    "How could you tell that detective that I had issues with Amy?" Sarah screamed at Jessie. Without waiting for her to reply she launched again, "and you eavesdropped on my phone call? Jess you eavesdropped on my phone call with my husband and went ahead to snitch on me to make yourself look good". "I did not snitch on you Sarah at least it was not my intention to, he was just so persistent and made me say it" Jessie said slowly. "How could you throw her under the bus to save yourself Jessie?" Ava asked and shook her head in disappointment.The first day of the interrogations had ended with only Jessie and Sarah being the first two to be interrogated. Ava had asked everyone to meet after the whole day to get to know what happened and as a form of emotional support but things were gradually going South between Sarah and Jessie. "I…I didn't know what to say Sarah. It was like he was seeing into my soul and I couldn't shake the feeling off that was why I told him the first thing that

  • TRAPPED IN THE BILLIONAIRE’s BARGAIN   SARAH

    Detective Jones picked up the next file in front of him; the name on it read Sarah O’Brien, she was Luke's wife. Luke who happened to be the personal assistant to Reynolds Bennet and his close friend too. In a way she was the closest to the Bennet’s and would probably have more information than any other person could. He flipped open his note to where Sarah’s name was scribbled and peered at it, so far he had not been able to deduce any falling out or argument between her and Amy but that was the scary thing. The hidden resentments were usually the worst because when it manifested it usually was fatal. A knock sounded on the iron door and he pushed his chair back and rose to his feet, it was time for the next person.“Sarah O’Brien right?” detective Jones asked and stretched his hand to the woman at the door. “Yes,” Sarah said and took his hand. “Please step into the room” he said and moved to one side, giving her just enough space to go in. He watched her walk into the room and

    Detective Jones stood behind the door of the compact sized room used as storage for the numerous files which harbored the cases that had been brought to the station since it had been erected. Cases some of which had been investigated properly while some cast away and long forgotten, their files now accumulated with dust and fraying at the edges. They filled the room at one end and spilled into the other end at one side. Detective Jones had spent half of the night moving and shoving things to one side of the room, leaving the other side of the room bare but which now had a small table with two chairs one on each side of the table sitting in it. He planned to convert the room into a makeshift interrogation room just like the one they had and used in the headquarters when they brought in people for questioning.Detective Jones yanked the cranky door open and strolled into the room, he walked towards the only window in the room and pushed it open, letting the slant ray of sunlight fil

    Amy weaved through the throng of people as she made her way to the table where her friends sat. Sarah stood up and hugged her as well as she could, given that the size of her stomach had increased by 3 since the last time they had met, which was at her baby shower. “How are you doing Amy? You refused to see any of us for almost a week since that incident” Sarah said and led her to a seat. “Are you finally out from your hiding?” Carie said and placed her hand on Amy’s lap. “I wasn’t in hiding, I just needed to get some things straight” Amy said to them.“We were all so worried about you Amy, we called your office but your secretary said you were not yet on seat. You refused to take our calls or respond to our messages, I hope you don’t blame us for what happened that day” Ava said. “I am fine guys but there is a problem, I am not allowed to speak or talk to anyone who was present during the baby shower because there is going to be an investigation because I was obviously framed fo

    Reynolds sat in the waiting area waiting for the police superintendent. It had been 3 days since Amy's arrest and their last meeting and he couldn’t let it pile up any longer, he came in early in the morning because he needed to do something about the whole situation. He had contacted Luke the night before and they discussed strategies and plans to go about Amy’s case and how to prove that she was not guilty and they had come up with plans which he was here to try out.The door to the office opened and the man stepped out and gestured for Reynolds to come in. “Mr. Bennet please come in” he said and Reynolds followed him into the office he had been in for like the 5th time in one week. “I want to know what types of investigations are being carried out on my wife’s case,” Reynolds asked. “Well Mr. Bennet, we have not yet commenced investigations on your wife’s case” the superintendent said and rapped his fingers on the table.Reynolds was having a feeling that at this point this cou

    “Mr. Bennet I’m sorry but that will be quite difficult to achieve at this moment. We don’t take it likely with drug offenders and the case has been transferred to the DEA’s table” the police superintendent said to a grim faced Reynolds who was sitting in front of him. “How is that even possible? You arrested my wife last night and in the space of less than 24 hours the case has been transferred to the DEA’s table? I know the amount of paperwork involved in transferring cases Mr. Superintendent so do not try to fuck with me. I want my wife’s case transferred to the headquarters” Reynolds said again. “Mr. Bennet I’m afraid that cannot happen, this is my jurisdiction and it is a sensitive case which…” “Don’t tell me it’s a sensitive case Goddammit” Reynolds shouted and banged the table in front of him with a clenched fist. “I want my wife out of that cell this minute and for her case to be transferred to the headquarters or else I will subtly fuck you up in ways you cannot imagine
