CHAPTER FIVE.

Naomi ran towards the gate, she could see more than four guards stationed there and they looked ruthless in their black suits.

" Oh fuck" she muttered under her breath as she hid behind a tall flower, " what should I do?" She added.

Her eyes continued to scan everywhere for a place to escape until she noticed the four guards suddenly run towards the house in a hurry and she could figure they already noticed she was missing.

" This is my chance" she said to herself and ran towards the gate. It was easier for her to run because she was wearing a bum short and T-shirt.

As soon as she opened the gate and ran out, she stopped short. Several black cars were coming in the opposite direction and she could roughly guess who it was. For a moment, fear gripped her and she found herself running in the other direction with all of her strength.

…………………………………………………..............................................

Nahil noticed the lady running opposite his car was Naomi and he sighed heavily, why was she stubborn?.

" Follow that girl" he spoke into his Bluetooth and immediately all the cars gave chase to her.

She kept running and looking back and to her surprise the cars were hot on her heels. She was unfamiliar with the area so she ran until she came to a dead end, trapped between a wall and Nahil's cars. Her mind was thumping fast as she saw him climb out of the car, he looked really angry.

" Do you really want to die that much?" He asked in an angry tone as he moved closer to her.

" Stay away from me you mad man" she yelled.

" I thought I warned you not to try anything funny?" By now he was standing directly in front of her and he could see a glint of fear in her eyes.

" I already told you, I will not agree to your mad contract. You might as well kill me first" she screamed and pushed him hard but he didn't move.

" Bitch" he muttered under his breath and gave her a slap, she immediately fell unconscious because of the effect of the slap.

" Make sure you tie her up securely and those bastards that didn't notice she was not in her room, deal with them," he said, turning to Mustapha.

" Yes boss" he replied and picked the unconscious Naomi from the floor and headed towards the car. 

…………………………………………………...............................................

It was past six in the evening when she woke up from her sleep, she found herself tied to a chair in her room and Nahil was seated casually in front of her with the contract in his hands.

She wanted to speak but her throat felt dry and she had a throbbing headache.

" I believe you learnt your lesson?" He asked, staring intently at her.

" Why are you forcing me to do what I don't want to do?" She asked weakly, she really didn't want to see this man's face.

" I believe if your so-called love is not in the picture you will agree to this contract right?" He asked again.

" What? don't you dare touch Jayden" she snapped using her strength.

He just chuckled and made a gesture, almost immediately Masir entered inside with a tablet in his hands.

" Boss".

" Show her," Nahil replied.

He moved closer to her and placed the tab in front of her, and what she saw sent goosebumps all over her body. Jayden was tied and beaten beyond recognition, he looked half dead.

" What did you do to him?He has nothing to do with this sir, he doesn't even know I like him," she said in tears. She hated the fact that he was getting hurt because of her.

" If he is out of the picture, I believe you will readily agree to this without throwing a tantrum," Nahil answered.

" Let him go please sir, it's not like you will give me a choice".

" I just need a guarantee that you won't run away next time or I will kill Smith".

Her eyes opened wide, not her brother.

" I know you don't care about your parents so their death won't make a difference to you," he added.

" Okay fine, I agree to sign this contract but please let him go" she begged.

" Only when I see your sincerity" he replied as he flung the document on her body, " untie her Masir" he ordered and Masir quickly untied her.

" But I have one condition," she said.

He scoffed at her audacity, " do you really think you have a condition? Naomi do not test me. I am losing my patience, sign the goddamn documents" he snapped angrily and she flinched.

" I have one question though,  how will I become your surrogate?".

" Don't think I will sleep with you woman? that is my business. Now sign".

She could see the anger in his eyes and she quickly signed the document. She could feel the aura emanating from this man and it was dangerous.

" Good," he said, collecting the signed contract from her, " release him," he added, turning to Masir.

" Yes boss" Masir replied and quickly went out.

" Since we are clear on the terms and conditions, I hope you won't do anything 

that will anger me".

" I just want my family safe," she answered.

" For the period of time you will be here, I do not want to see you enter my room or try to meddle in my business. You can go anywhere in the house aside my room and study, if you want to go out I should be informed" he added lazily as he rested on the chair headrest.

" Isn't that a bit too much?" She asked in disbelief.

" You should try and flaunt one of my orders then you will bear the consequences" he replied standing up making to go outside but she stopped him,

" Can I at least get my phone back?" She asked.

" No" he bluntly replied and walked out.

She sighed heavily as she watched him walk outside, she knew Evie would be worried about her and there was no way she could reach her.

" What deed did I do in my past life to experience this kind of pain?" She muttered under her breath as she laid on the bed, she was really helpless.

Her door opened and a maid pushed a trolley of food inside the room, the trolley was filled with different kinds of food but she was not in the mood to eat the food no matter how assorted it looked.

" Just take it back, I am not hungry" she said without bothering to look at the food again.

" Ma'am, the boss has strictly warned strictly that you eat the food," the maid answered in a respectful voice.

Naomi turned to her and she could see the look of fear in her eyes, she understood why the maid was this scared. Working for a man like Nahil Gustavo was enough to send someone to a mental asylum, she has seen how ruthless he was and she didn't want this maid to suffer because of her.

" Okay fine, you may go" she finally said after a while.

" Thank you ma" the maid replied and bowed respectfully before leaving the room.

She climbed down from the bed and just took the orange juice beside the food and gulped it down, not feeling like touching the food, she went into the shower to have a soothing bath.
