The slap kept on stinging as she watched the man give her a final look , his eyes moving up and down on her before he finally left.The moment the door closed , a huge breath went out of her lungs that she had no idea that she had been holding.Her head hung down , Chloe was tired , she was drained of energy, dehydrated and hungry. She was bound to the chair by ropes, her hands were tied behind her back and her feet were tied individually to each leg on the chair.She had struggled when that man had touched her cheeks and that struggle burnt her skin against the ropes, making her feel how tightly they bound her .If only she had a knife, Chloe could see herself getting out of this but she did not and that only made her head hung low.Where is Liam?"Where are you Liam ? " She sniffed, whispering the words to herself." ***********" Wake up ! " The door was slammed open , jerking Chloe up , making her sit upright and conscious of her environment.She had fallen asleep? In this situati
Her heartbeat was so fast and loudly that she could hear it inside her ears , could Nita hear it ? Could she listen to her heartbeat?Chloe tried her best not to gulp so as not to betray her nervousness. A telltale sign of someone lying or nervous. Her feet were firmly on the ground against the legs of the chairs , which is a little hopeful in not making them shake with anticipation.Nita breathed out deeply and Chloe would have to give anything to know what was going on in her head. Rose was good at this but not her . Now she misses Rose more.Nita sat down on the foot of the bed meant for Chloe, one of her legs rested on the bed and the other was left dangling in the air.Her shoulders sagged as if remembering a vital obstacle that posed a threat to her money she was going to receive from helping Chloe escape. " Your dosage is not complete" She said avoiding Chloe's gaze, " And we can't leave without you getting it and from what They told me it will be given to you and the other g
Warning ! This is a sneak peak of my new book coming to Goodnovel." Kill that witch ! "" Burn her."" Castrate her ! "" Hang her , she deceived us ! "" Today will be the end of her deception "In the dark moonlight, people were standing with their torches in their hands , others held wooden spears, forks and sticks and weapons of some sort as they cursed .The dark clouds that hung above the gloomy skies had finally decided it was time to send their prolonged judgment.The noise grew louder as I approached the crowd , or should I say the angry mob .Making my way through , I saw an old woman amidst the crowd leaning against her walking stick , the wrinkles on her face shone under the moonlight . She was the only one that had a look of pity on her face .She shakes her head whenever she hears the crowd curse the woman they were accusing .Burrowing my way again as I made to walk towards her, many thoughts swarmed my mind .' What was going on ? '' Did she commit a crime ? 'Still
" So what are you up to this time ? " Chloe asked , sipping the last dreg of her cocktail, her expression calm a complete contrast to how she was stewing inside . Itching to shoot him in the head if granted the opportunity." My , my , my , it hurts me so much that you think I have something sinister planned behind this dinner. " Chloe dropped her glass on the table , leaned back on her chair crossing her leg over the other , wagging her hands she sneered ," What can I say Theddy, once bitten twice shy " Theddy chuckled lightly and nodded , he couldn't help but notice her change of attitude. Something is definitely off with her tonight .The Chloe that he has come to know these past few days hates to breathe the same air he breathes , heck ! She doesn't even feel comfortable whenever he wants to have dinner with her .She is too stubborn for her own good , someone that would rather starve than eat what he gives her .But Chloe sitting in front of him is calm , her words short and
Two days Earlier" Boss, we have a new Intel from Italy. Underground Boss assistant will be here in two days " Henry Theddy's right-hand man whispered into his ears.He risked it interrupting their dinner but it's worth it considering what the stand to lose if eventually they came and his boss is unprepared to meet them Theddy's ears perked up when he heard the news and his brows furrowed in a frown but he quickly dismissed it so as not to draw Chloe's attention.' That woman is quick-witted ' he thought , giving her a squinted gaze but the nonchalant lady sipped her cocktail with poise ." I will be with you soon " he whispered back , waving his aide away for the latter to nod and walk away in quick long strides.Theddy adjusted his suit and winked at her " let's call it a night Mrs Reigns, thanks for gracing me with your presen… "But she didn't let him finish and cutted him halfway It's not like I have a choice " Chloe interrupted , earning her a questioning raised brow from
When Theddy was told that his guests had arrived he was expecting to see one man and two bodyguards with one car .But what he was seeing now supersedes his thoughts. Rows of luxury cars worth millions lined up in front of his base and from it came out dozens of able-bodied men .Their well draped suits did not do justice to their well toned muscles that their suit couldn't hide . Any strain from them their suits will rip apart .Taking in on the sight before him , Theddy couldn't help but feel a hot sweat trickle down his back , beads of sweat began forming on his forehead.One of the bodyguards , a tall blonde man walked to the white luxury car and opened it , Theddy's eyes twinkled with anticipation to see who his anonymous boss sent .But seconds rolled by and the occupant of the car didn't step out , Theddy couldn't hide his annoyance any longer just when he was about to retort two pairs of black customized leather shoes touched the cold tarmac.Theddy glances from his shoes upwa
Back to presentWhen Chloe heard the gunshots, she did not know whether to be excited or scared, as her mind was thrown into a frenzy.' Excited that maybe Liam has finally found where she was being held and had finally come to rescue her ' ' Or maybe one of Theddy's men has had enough of his low treatments and revolted against him ' her heartbeat increased rapidly at the thought of this and the possibility.If Theddy's men were to revolt there would be a lot of bloodshed and Chloe is not sure if she would want that . Although such will create room for her escape or doom, she's not sure of what will be the outcome and who will be the winner .At a loss at what to do , Chloe knelt down and clasped her hands together, in this moment of chaos the only thought that came to her mind was to pray .Funny enough she's not the type to believe in prayers and God but she's now earnestly seeking help from God." God please, I know I'm the last person you would want to hear from now , but I onl
Liam strolled into his study , his eyes were on the papers immediately he sat down behind his desk , his expression was grim and his attention was on it .His hand went to it as he picked it up to look at the cover page , or was a magazine of his newly acquired company .He didn't even bother to look further into it , he just tossed it aside . " Get me Jimmy "He ordered the guard at the door ." Yes, sir "He replied as if his life depended on it as he left the room without wasting a single time .A few minutes later he came in with Jimmy who was clutching a laptop , and he went back to resume his position at the door . " Boss ! " Jimmy starts " You need to see this ! " He dropped the laptop on Liam's desk, played footage and resumed talking ." Three hours ago , there was a glitch in the airport's CCTV I was monitoring like you ordered me to . I tried restoring the missing footage but to no avail , it seemed like whoever did this wanted to get your attention." Three hours later th
