‘’ Honestly you need to quit drinking Loveth. The last time you drank, you almost made out with the club's DJ. Now it might be the security or cleaner . I need to be somewhere but I am afraid to leave you here all alone .‘’
Elizabeth Morgan , Loveth best friend said as she snatched the glass of wine from her quickly ‘’ I am not drunk , I am fine Betty, I swear , you need to give me back my drink .‘’
Loveth replied sluggishly as she snatched back the glass of wine from Betty .
‘’ I really have to leave. Can you please stop drinking already and let's get out of here , you are going to make me never come out to drink with you again Loveth . ’’
Betty said as she drags her friend from her seat angrily while Loveth restrained from leaving staring drunkenly at a man siting opposite her.
" Wait ! That man over there has been grinning at me , I think he likes me right ? Betty I should have just slept with that damn manager to have the job . ‘’
Loveth smiled back at the young man who seems to be looking at her as she made seductive movements to attract him more . She crossed her legs at the same time revealing her sexy legs .
‘’ I am dead ass serious Loveth, we need to get out of here. Your parents are worried already , your mum has been calling non stop. if I allow you indulge your alcoholic tendencies any longer, she might come here to find us ,stop blabbing about the whole job thing already , you can always apply for another one Loveth .‘’
Betty said as she snatched the empty glass of wine from her friend's clumsy grip with irritation , she wished she had rejected Loveth's offer to drink earlier , now the mess is unbearable.
.‘’ Okay fine , call Andrew to come pick me up. I really want to get laid tonight. I will definitely schtupp him , I am so loving this new me . ‘’
Loveth said drunkenly when she saw Betty not moving an inch she search for her phone .
‘' You and Andrew are no longer together Loveth. Let's get out of here right now or I will be left with no choice but to inform your parents we are here . ‘’
Betty bent her head and supported it with her hands holding her head at the temple,fuming with anger . She knew how handful Loveth can be .
‘’ Hello Andrew ,can you come pick me up , I really want to have sex ……‘’
Betty snatched the phone as fast as she could from Loveth before she could utter any more nonsense to her ex. ‘’
Hello Andrew sorry to bother you , do you mind coming to pick Loveth , I really have to go now and I do not want to leave her in this state alone .‘’
Betty said with worry in a quiet tone , she was beginning to get upset with Loveth right now .
‘’ Where are you? ‘’
Andrew asked quickly as fast as he could
‘’ Funbell club , I am waiting till you get here .‘’ Betty replied immediately
‘’ I will join you soon , I am nearby. ‘’ Andrew replied as he hung up .
"Andrew will be here very soon. Try to stop drinking now before you make the headlines tomorrow as the woman who drank herself to stupor , your dad will be disappointed if you keep spoiling his reputation in this manner . I am getting really worried about this crazy behavior of yours Loveth , after today i am never letting you drink again, never ,now l regret accepting your invitation more than ever . ‘’
Betty shakes her head with annoyance as Loveth continued drinking. She made her feel like she was conversing with a brick wall, a drunken brick wall precisely .
‘’ You are here , thank God .‘’ Betty said to Andrew as he walked in .
"I am sorry about the inconvenience Andrew. She insisted you had to come pick her , I am glad you came just in time .‘’
Betty apologized quickly as she picked up her bag trying to caution Loveth stylishly.
‘’ It is fine , I know how Loveth can be a handful sometimes, especially when she is drunk .‘’ He replied as he hugged Betty briefly before staring at Loveth .
‘’ I will call you when I get home, my mum is really sick. I need to get home real quick so i can take her to the hospital. ‘’ Betty said as she gave Andrew a quick smile and walks out leaving Loveth alone with Andrew .
‘’ I will be right back Loveth I need to use the restroom , please do not go anywhere . ‘’ Andrew said to Loveth who kept drinking and uttering jargons
‘’ Are we doing it in the restroom or on this table honey ?‘’ Loveth laughed hysterically as Andrew hurried away .
She smiled back at the man who has been staring at her the whole time as he walks towards her
‘’ Do you want to get out of here angel ?, I know somewhere we can have fun "
he asked quickly stretching his right hand to Loveth ‘’ Yes sure , I honestly want to get out of here, take me anywhere you want handsome .‘’
She tries to stand up but staggered back while the stranger carried her effortlessly in his arms .
‘’ What is your name stranger? I should know that at least , I usually don't talk to strangers but I suddenly got the nerve , so what did you say your name was ? ‘’ Loveth asked drunkenly
‘’ We should get out of here first before we talk , my name doesn't matter now. ‘’ the stranger replied impatiently.
‘’ Anyway, I love your brown hair stranger, I can not wait to get my hands on them , your lips look so hot , have we met before? Do you know me ?....... ‘’
Loveth vomited on him before she could utter any other word.
‘’ Shit! ‘’
that was the only thing she heard from the stranger before a car pulled up in front of them and definitely the last thing Loveth saw before she fell asleep in his arms .
................
‘’ Is everything going as planned? ‘’ Nicholas Hunter asked his colleague who was driving as he stowed Loveth at the back of the car with him .
"Yes the plane is ready to take off and Isabella wants me to inform you the client got pay in full already . ‘’
Jed Grump replied quickly .
"We do not have time to waste let's get going , she might wake up soon ."
Nicholas Hunter replied as he cleaned up the mess Loveth made on his shirt , then he took her phone from her bag and switched it off .
"She is beginning to piss me off already " Nicholas Hunter murmured as he changed his shirt .
Andrew came back just to find Loveth not sitting where he had left her. He went up to the older man drinking at the table behind Loveth " Excuse me , do you know where the lady sitting over there went?. ‘’
Andrew asked, worried. "I think she is getting laid , she probably wants it badly . ‘’
The man laughed drunkenly as he went on drinking . Andrew raced down the hall to see the bar man quickly.
"Hello did you see the young lady over there?‘’
Andrew pointed at the corner Loveth had sat when he came , getting really worried and pissed with every passing seconds, he definitely did not plan for this situation.
"I am sorry but I have no idea , you can check the restroom or ask the security. ‘’
The young man went on with his business quickly as he attended to another customer . Andrew dialed Loveth number immediately but it was switched off and then he tried her mother’s number
" Hello Mrs . Raymond , I just wanted to confirm if Loveth is home already. I was supposed to pick her at Funbell club but she left before I could get her home myself .‘’
Andrew said quickly waiting for a positive response. Never in his life has he ever felt like this .
‘’She's not home yet and I have been trying her number too . She left with Betty earlier today . I thought she might be sleeping over at Betty ‘s place .‘’
Mrs Raymond replied worriedly
‘’I will talk to you later .‘’
Andrew replied quickly as he hung up to call Betty who was not answering her calls either. Then he decided to call Loveth , after several attempts by Andrew and still dropping, Betty's call came in.
‘’ Hello Andrew what is going on? Loveth's mum just called me to inform me she is not home and she is not at the cub either. Please is everything alright ?. ‘’
Betty asked, feeling really bad for leaving Loveth at the club.
‘’I left to use the restroom quickly only to come back and find her gone. I tried looking for her everywhere I still can not find her. ‘’
Andrew said as he runs his hand through his dark curls.
‘’I will get back to you, wait till the police get there , they will join you soon. ‘’
Betty said as she hung up immediately . Five minutes later , Andrew rushed out with relieve at the sound of the police vehicle
‘’ please are you Andrew Morgan? I am detective Laryor.‘’
A young female detective asked Andrew as he approached him.
‘’ Yes Detective Laryor , thank God you are here ‘’ Andrew said quickly
‘’I will like to ask you a few questions please .‘’ Detective Laryor said as she beckoned on Andrew to sit next to her.
‘’ you guys should search around for any suspicious person or evidence that relates to Miss Loveth Raymond disappearance. ‘’
Detective Laryor turned back to Andrew after instructing her team who went around immediately.
‘’ So Mr Morgan, when was the last time you saw Miss Loveth Raymond today ?‘’
Detective Laryor said as she pens down Raymond name on a notebook.
‘' About ten minutes ago. I have been searching around ever since , also I have tried calling her , but her number is switched off , Loveth hardly switch off her phone , I am sure something is wrong ‘’ Andrew responded tiredly.
‘’ and did you see any suspicious person around at the time of your arrival ? ‘’ she looked up chewing her pen cover.
‘’ nothing I can think of detective. ‘’ Andrew replied
‘’ okay we will like to see you in our station tomorrow morning .‘’ detective Laryor stood up as she saw her team coming back .
‘’ did you find out anything? ‘’ she asked her subordinate as she walks towards the car.
‘’ see you tomorrow Mr Morgan ‘’ . Detective Laryor said as she got into the car .
Loveth woke up to the greatest shock of her life. She screamed as she realized she was as naked as the day she was born. She tried to move and realized she was chained to a bed covered with a thick blanket . As she struggled with the chain to set herself free , she felt pains on her hands and legs‘’ somebody help me please , is anybody there ? please help .‘’she screamed at the top of her voice and continued to struggle with the chain with fear and tears in her eyes .‘’How did I get here? Somebody please help me .‘’she became silent when she heard footsteps coming closer and louder enough for her to know they belong to men . The door opened and two masked men came in.‘’ Who are you guys and how did I get here? I am probably in the wrong place right I mean you have the wrong person and if you do not let me go now, I will scream and have you arrested."She paused then continued as she further raised her
" if you keep pacing around the room , it still does not bring back your daughter, I am sure she is doing fine somewhere she is . "Mr Raymond said to his wife who looked haggard worrying about her child since last night . " Loveth has never done this before and our daughter , you mean ? , you don't even seem worried about Loveth . "Mrs Raymond asked as she turned to face her husband quickly looking surprised at his relaxed tone ." fine , our daughter , all she did while around was to cause trouble and sleep with every guy in New York , not to talk of her excessive spendings , you should be glad she decided to leave home , after all she is not a child anymore , she can take care of herself . "Mr Raymond said with annoyance " so a child we both watched grow up for twenty six years disappeared and all you can say is that I should be glad , are you like this because Loveth is not o
" Miss Loveth Raymond , you need to come out right now if you don't want me to come in there . "Loveth rushed out immediately scared of the voice she just heard. She looked on at her abductor with a fierce eyes trying not to think of the last thing he said to her before she ran into the ladies . " why are you keeping me here , this is unfair and also a violation of my right , let me go now , I do not care who you are or who sent you but I can assure you that you will regret this if you don't let me go now ."Loveth opened her eyes having realise it was closed all through her outburst." Miss Loveth Raymond , I am sorry but you are home , this is your new home now , no one will ever find you on this Island , I doubt you even know your way back home , you should be happy to be here . "Loveth watched his lips as he spoke , she could swear he was from heaven , the most sexiest man on earth , now
Loveth woke up with headache the next morning , she touched her forehead as she sighed sickly . Rachael knocked several times waiting for Loveth to ask her in , she entered after several attempts without response." is everything alright Rachael , I have been knocking at your door for about an hour ."Rachael asked immediately she stepped inside " I need to go to the hospital please ,I think I might get sick. "Loveth said as she tried to get up "I think you are sick , I will call the doctor immediately , you need to relax Loveth , the doctor will be here soon. "Rachael rushed out immediately in a hurry . Loveth slept back praying Nicholas comes to see her , she still has some questions she needed to ask him , she still wanted to know why she was sold , tears fell from her eyes as the thought of being sold came to her mind again , she began to wonder if her mother was involve in this . Not long after , Ra
" why is everyone in so much hurry Rachael, is there something I need to know ?. "Loveth asked after seeing everyone trying to tidy up and putting everything in shape and order which really baffled her ." Boss is coming back today , we can not afford to get on his bad side , so we make sure we tidy everywhere , do you want to come with me to his chambers , it my turn to clean his room ." Rachael asked quickly ." yes sure , I hardly got to see it well the last time I was there , but how do we go through the guards ."Loveth asked as she dusted the table at the entrance room which led to the female chamber ." just follow me , we don't have time to waste, I have my ways . " Rachael dragged her along quickly ." when we get there , make sure you follow my pace , don't try to look around or wander about. "Rachael instructed Loveth who walked quickly behind her , fortunately Rachel helped Loveth
A month had passed after the last night Loveth had with Nicholas , Loveth sat quietly beside the ocean battling with mixed feelings , she was getting comfortable and blinding with the lifestyle at the Island , the guards were no longer cautious of her trying to escape , she would not even dare .she was in love with Nicholas and she wanted him more than anything else , all the days she had spent came for her inspiration to see him again , she had asked Rachael countless times if Nicholas was ever coming back , she wondered if she was the only bothered person , even after what he did to her the night she was with him .she still wanted another night with him , just one she hoped , she knew quite well Nicholas did not love her but she still wanted to give them a chance , she smiled when the thought of that night came to her mind again , it was definitely all she had been thinking about .she did not remember how she had the gut to pull down his pant
Two weeks has passed , Loveth wondered if Nicholas will ever want her , she had cried a lot those two weeks after she found out the Raymond were not her biological parents , she wondered why her father will sell her and now she finally got an answer, he even called her a slut .Loveth wept quietly as she moped the floor of her room , Nicholas too has tried avoiding her as much as he could , there was a night she had met him at the garden when she wanted the breeze on her body only to see Nicholas there .she ran back inside as fast as she could , she still did not know how to face him after all she said to him two weeks ago , at this point she realized she was running more from Nicholas than he ran from her . she heard a knock on her door , cleaned her face and stood up from the floor she was sitting after cleaning ." come in. "Loveth said in her most quiet possible way " I was worried about you Loveth , is everything alright with yo
" Every time you handle a job Belle , you take it lightly, how am I suppose to tell the client we lost his job because of your carelessness , you were just to check every details of his movement Belle , just is fucking movement ."Nicholas threw the files on his table away in the air angrily as he looked on at Jed and Isabella who stood before him at the middle of his office ." Belle you know how much I charged for this job , am I going to lose it just like that to some amateur ?.."Nicholas stood up angrily with anger as he punched the wall angrily " I am sorry Boss , we can meet up in time if we get going now , I never knew he suspected being watched , he must have freaked out thinking we are the bad people ."Isabella said with a trembling voice as she bows humbly " I don't think we can get there in time , the operation of the Bulls club's is usually unpredictable , I am afraid they might get to
" Papa, you’re supposed to catch me!” the small boy exclaimed, toddling toward his father’s long form stretched on the grass.Nicholas smiled lazily at the dark-haired child who stood above him. Named Raphael, their son possessed an unending supply of energy and a vocabulary that far outstripped the average three-year-old. Young Raphael loved to talk, which was hardly a surprise when one considered his parentage. “Son, I’ve spent the better part of an hour playing chase with you,” Nicholas said. “Let an old man have a few minutes of rest.”“But I’m not finished yet!”With a sudden laugh, Nicholas seized the boy and pulled him down for a game of roll-and-tickle.Lifting her gaze from the papers in her lap, Loveth watched the pair play.Daniel and Daniella played with bubbles a little bit far away . They were spending the hottest part of the summer at her inherited estate, a place so exquisitely landscaped that it could have been the subject of a painting by Rubens. All it
" Why are you doing this to me ." Loveth asked angrily when she woke up from the long sleep she had been subjected to . Sitting right in front of her was Ash and Wesley and two masked men . She was chained to the chair she was made to sit on . Her was rumpled and messy .She looked from Ash to Wesley And then someone else was in the room . she saw the old woman she had earlier seen on her first day in his house staring at her with disgust ." Wesley please let me go ." Loveth shouted loudly and Ash slapped her cheek immediately" ifyou don't stop yelling I am going to have to go harsh on you , no one is going to save you here . No one ." she repeated as she dragged Loveth head closer by her hair .Tears fell from Loveth's eyes as they laughed at her ." you are going to regret this ." she said as she spat out blood from her mouth . She was bleeding from the slap Ash gave her on her face and crying at the same time ." You really think I will let you ruin
At 7:40pm Betty stood looking out of her window. She had left the office early and taxied home so she could get ready for her fiance coming to collect her. She had done as he asked and was naked underneath her big black overcoat. The only thing she had had to worry about was making sure that her make-up was perfect. So she didn’t feel so bare she had chosen a simple set of small diamond earrings and a bright red lipstick as her accessories, with a simple small black clutch. As the clock ticked next to her she felt her nerves start to kick in. She couldn’t wait to see him again. As she stood at her open window and saw the stretched blacked out car pull round the corner she knew it was him. She thought , but today he bought a different whip . The light in her street was perfect and it lit up the road making it look gold, the blossom from the trees was in full bloom as the limo crawled slowly to a stop in front of her building the back window slowly went down. Betty felt on the e
The tension in the room reached a new level. As Nicholas looked at the strange expression on Ash's face, the predatory look in her eyes, the anxiety took on added meaning as nothing could distract them from the heightened air of the pretend attraction between them; And then her father , the presence of this man who seemed to wield a power of control over the whole family inciting in him fear , fear that consumed him as he stood within his reach, his raw masculinity barely concealed behind the refined attire he wore.He moved closer to her, standing right in front of her and trapped in his gaze she was aware of the strength in his clearly defined body.“As I said before I went away I have some quite serious concerns over your attitude, I mean towards our relationship , which I know we addressed not only when I came to see you but also subsequently when you were drunk. I told you that I believed our union could well be of great use to me,espec
As the sunrise woke him, two hours later, he cursed not having black out curtains. he had an hour before he needed to get up and quickly grabbing a drink of water, he returned to bed tiredly until Jed still came to wake him up.He knew he needed to be at work today . He had some documents to find . Although Ambrose help him manage the company he just oversees matters .Stepping into the office, he felt more camaraderie now with the team as they all greeted him together , some looking exhausted, but mostly looking completely refreshed, and he wondered at how they had managed it.Ambrose was not so easy to work with . He never even regard him as the boss when it comes to work . He was shattered and again definitely hung over. It had been an enormous effort to get showered and dressed.Opening up his door he prayed for an easy day. Ambrose stood there looking ominously imposing in his pristine tailored pinstripe suit, fitted immaculately to his shape. He obvio
Loveth sat comfortably beside the beach with her friend Eliza Ben an American , they sip their wine and chatted loudly admist laughter and giggles ." the part he said he wanted to take me home was totally off for me and I said gentleman I am a married woman ."" He must have been sad Elly ." Loveth smiled as she tried not to laugh " you know most guys believe only single ladies come to club .He must have turned back with disappointment. " Loveth said as she watched Eliza pour her more wine ." I don't want to drink a lot , I have kids to attend to ." she paused as she checked her wristwatch for the time " I have to go home Elly , the kids will be home soon ." Loveth stood up quickly as she gathered her things from the sand ." I will see you tomorrow ." she said as she ran off .It's been three years now and things have been completely difficult but she has been strong to pull through , her twins have been so lovely than she can imagine . She had so much to do but th
As the sunrise woke her, two hours later, she cursed not having black out curtains. She had an hour before she needed to get up and quickly grabbing a drink of water, she returned to bed. Trying hard to sleep without been able to , she decided to check up on Loveth thinking she was probably downstairs.Stepping inside the sitting room , what greeted her sight was a note from Loveth's , she had left it on the table along with her phone . She took the piece of paper quickly as she began to read the letter.The words came to life, filling her with a wretched heartbreak from the sentiments expressed in the passages. It was an anguished cry of despair, isolation and loneliness; visceral in its haunting description, rendering a soul in turmoil and devastation.It could only have been written by Loveth she recognised her handwriting. When had she written this? She read on to the next page, lost in the misery it portrayed, finding it hard to read yet the elo
" what's wrong with you ?." Betty asked as she sat beside Loveth whose eyes was teary and about to cry ." you can not do this here , let get out of here ." she handed the pineapple juice in her hand to Loveth " you must be thirty ." they walked out the amount of reporters waiting outside was countless as Betty and Loveth managed to walk pass them with the help of the security .Betty stopped a taxi that drove them to her house , few minutes after Loveth had eaten and relaxed she decided to talk to Betty about Wesley's threat ." I saw Wesley just after my interview today , and he threatened me ."" he did what , at this point Loveth we need to see the police ." Betty sat closely to Loveth as she speak ." I thought of something else , I think I should go to London for sometime or I might just get back at Wesley , I am starting to think I should face my fears ."He really put her on the spot. She was uncomfortable talking about her baby and having
Loveth knocked on her parents door thoroughly till the door opened , she hugged her father when she saw him . Her eyes were swollen and red as she cried profusely ." I am sorry Loveth , welcome home ."She hugged him so tightly as she didn't have a word to say , he led her into the house " honey ,your daughter is home ." he shouted as he called her mum ." oh my God .'' she exclaimed as she came down from the stairs in a hurry " what's wrong with Loveth ?." She dragged Loveth from her husband and hugged her tightly " stop crying honey , let's get you to your room ." She led Loveth quietly up the stairs into her room." We can talk when you wake up ." Mrs. Raymond said as she pecked Loveth whose eyes were closed already .She went out when she noticed Loveth sleeping already.About five hours later , Loveth woke up with headache as she stood up from bed , she looked around the room she laid and tears fell from her eyes , she missed home so much . All the beauty in
