Barter heard Laura screaming, and wondered if something heavier than what he was used to was happening.He was used to Mr. Ban beating Laura up every now and then, but the only reply he ever heard from Laura was her wailing and crying, but, this time, he could hear her screaming at Mr. Ban. Also, did he hear her mention a divorce? He hoped he heard correctly.Barter peeped into the room and saw how Mr. Ban held Laura like a rag doll, barking angry words at her, and he raised an eyebrow.At this point, he hoped he really heard Laura asking Mr. Ban for a divorce.Maybe she had accepted to run away with him. Finally."What has come over you? Your ex-fiance's magic has started to work on you, right? Since when did you become so aggressive and ratchet.?" Mr. Ban asked with surprise evident in his voice.Laura squirmed under his grip and looked at him. Her eyes had never shed such tears before. This episode was different, her heart was heavier than ever, and she just wanted to leave Damien
For now, Laura's mind was clouded. She had already accepted Barter's offer before she realized that she shouldn't have. But she wanted to escape from Mr. Ban's house, desperately. What else would she have done to escape? She didn't have the key to the secret door and would have tried to walk out through the front door, and of course, she would have been stopped. So, technically, Barter helped her. But she wished he didn't have to.''My name is Alina. I'm Barter's sister,'' the lady that showed Laura to her room at Bueno's hotel said. Laura raised her eyebrows in realization, no wonder the girl had a striking resemblance with the gangsta bodyguard. They were siblings.Looking at Barter's sister, Laura wondered if she was comfortable with her brother's lifestyle. Barter was a dangerous man, he was so dangerous, to the extent that, even his comrades who guarded Mr. Ban as well, gave him the utmost respect. It was safe to say that he was the leader of Mr. Ban's gangstas.''How do you k
''Where is Damien?'' Laura asked. If Barter was here already, it meant that Mr. Ban had to have retired for the day, and if that was the case, he would be looking for her frantically. Laura's heart leaped. By now, Barter had pulled her on top of him as he lay on the bed. He held Laura's waist with both of his strong arms and she could not escape his foul breath. Barter oozed with garlic and alcohol. What a combination. Laura held her breath until her face turned green and her veins were outlined on her forehead very visibly. ''What do you care about him?'' Barter asked. Laura hesitated for a while. ''You are usually always around him, so if you are here now, it means that he is done, right? at home and looking for me, or else he is in danger without you,'' Laura said. The repugnant odor from Barter was driving her insane and she often tried to break away from his grip but he only held her tighter. ''He's still in a meeting, he won't be done for another three hours or so. Don'
Barter was back and Laura was surprised. Where was Mr. Ban, and why had he not started looking for her? When Laura opened the door to let Barter in, her surprise was evident. "You are in luck, woman. Mr. Ban has quickly skipped town. It's an emergency and he will be back in no time, however it gives you enough time for a head start. Before he starts looking for you, you would have been long gone," Barter told Laura. Long gone to where? She wondered. Alina woke up from her nap and saw her brother with Laura. She frowned. Her filthy brother did not have anything in common with Laura. Even though Laura was currently being tossed around for whatever reason, Barter was still Barter, an uneducated, violent criminal, while Laura had a little bit of polish going on for her. Alina eyed him. "You are back, so I can take my leave now," she said to Barter with disdain. Barter grunted. He knew Alina's position concerning him taking Laura, so he made sure not to say or do anything that w
Barter was midway into urinating when he heard the sound of the door.He didn't imagine that Laura would try to escape. He thought she was genuinely interested in his offer for both of them to elope together. Impulsively, he started to leave the bathroom to confirm what the noise was about, but when his urine splashed on the floor, he was reminded that he had to remain in the bathroom for now until he finished. The discomfort and desperationBarter felt knew no bounds. What was happening? Was Laura leaving?Impatience!Suddenly, Barter's own urine had become an enemy. He looked down at himself and glared at the fluid coming out of him, not wanting to stop. At the slightest reduction in speed and pressure of his urine, indicating that it was trying to come to an end, Barter stuck his penis back in his briefs and hurried out of the bathroom. Of course, his assumptions were correct, Laura had left. ''Ha!'' Barter yelled angrily and hurried out of the room while he tried to fasten hi
Barter quickly went back to Mr. Ban's house.He was afraid. Already, he had declined to join Mr. Ban on his short and impromptu trip. He gave a flimsy excuse about his daughter being sick and needing his attention. This was something that Barter had never done before. Mr. Ban was taken aback greatly by this. He struggled for a bit, trying to make Barter join him, but Barter remained firm about his decision to stay back to look after his sick daughter. Seeing Barter's obstinance and the fact that he was a family man himself, Mr. Ban had to allow him to stay and appointed the next leader in command among his bodyguards to join him on the trip. ''I don't want Barter to say that I killed his daughter. In case something bad happens,'' Mr. Ban said as he appointed someone else in Barter's place. Now, Barter was regretting his actions. He should have left Laura in the house, now she had run away. He couldn't afford to think of the horrible things that Mr. Ban would do to him if he foun
Barter heaved an aggressive sigh and got up. He was at Mr. Ban's house. When Mr. Ban informed him that he would be back at any time, Barter manned the house more closely, not wanting Mr. Ban to take him unawares. But now, he had to risk it because he had to get Laura back to Mr. Ban's house. He hopped inside his Peugeot salon car and sped towards the Bueno's hotel. He hurried to the third floor and rapped on the door rapidly. ''My goodness, chill,'' Alina murmured as she walked towards the door and opened it. ''Where is she?'' Barter bellowed as he stormed inside the hotel room, his eyes looking around for Laura. As soon as he saw her, he pranced towards her, his eyes burning raw anger as he grabbed her arm and pulled her out of the room.''Alina, please help me bring whatever luggage there is,'' Barter said as he pulled Laura out of the room. Alina chewed on a gum rudely and watched as her brother dragged Laura out. Laura's essential body parts rubbed all over Barter, and Alina
Mr. Ban doubted that he was hearing correctly. ''Are you saying she wasn't here for as long as I was away, or am I not understanding?'' he asked the chef. ''No, I mean that anytime we wanted to serve her food, she was never there. For two days sir. We searched the entire room, and she was nowhere to be found. Maybe she went to visit family,'' the chef said innocently. Mr. Ban looked at the chef closely for a while, and then he turned around abruptly, heading back to his bedroom. Barter already overheard the chef reporting the fact that he didn't see Laura again after Mr. Ban left, and he was processing his thoughts, thinking of what he would tell Mr. Ban when he asked. ''Barter!'' Mr. Ban called as soon as he was back in his room. Mr. Ban glared at Laura, he didn't say anything to her yet, he just wanted to hear from Barter first. ''Boss!'' Barter muttered when he showed up in Mr. Ban's room. ''I heard that my wife went on her own trip after I left,'' Mr. Ban said, looking
