2024-04-15 00:23:49Sarah entered the beautiful hotel restaurant, taking in everything from the coral seafood soup she could see from the doorway to the grandeur of the entire building, the chandelier, and even the solid wooden table on which the chef was now serving her food.
She watched with curious eyes as he turned a full turkey in a frying pan without letting it drop. She was amazed.
Peter Causey watched her with lecherous interest, his eyes traveling the length of her dress, from the nape of her neck down to her breasts.
He secretly watched as his imagination took him places, but he returned the moment Sarah spoke.
Meanwhile, up in Peter Causey's room, Sarah was going through the documents he had given her. He had convinced her that the documents he needed her to sign were up there, and he did not want the prying eyes of the public while he did business with her.
Naively, she had agreed, knowing that she had worked for months just to get a contract with him.
The room was a mini-suite, and when he went to the car to get her a drink, she was so engrossed in reading the terms of the contract that she did not see him put the white substance in her drink.
James got to the sixth floor where Peter Causey's room was, and as he approached the corridor that led to a row of rooms, one of which was Peter Causey's, he heard his bodyguards outside the door discussing.
"Man, did you see how beautiful the lady Boss brought today? I can't wait to tape him making fun of her." One of them said
"Did you, you know, put the drugs where he could easily access them?" The other asked.
" Of course I did! These drugs are so strong they could make a horse do a lap dance," the guy replied.
"How about we both take the girl for a spin before we drop her off?" The first guy joked.
" Oh man, that would be great," the second guy joked.
"I don't know how Mr. Causey finds these pretty ladies, but you see this one, I'm ready to get down with her and show her who's boss," he joked, and they both laughed.
"What about the camera?" The first guard asked the second one again.
"I put it on the top shelf like the boss told me to. I am sure he must have found it by now," the second guard replied.
James clenched his fist in a death-like rage and walked to the door.
"Hey! Who are you?" One of them asked.
"I'm here to see Mr. Peter Causey," James replied in a dangerously friendly tone.
"Mr. Causey is busy, come back later," the first guard who had spoken before replied.
"No, he is not, open the door now," James said in a more serious tone.
The second guard reached into his gun bag and pulled out his weapon, threatening to shoot Thomas if he did not leave the premises immediately.
"I said get out of here the first time, the second time would not be so casual and friendly of me," the guard said.
"Well, at least you can say I asked nicely," Thomas said before pulling back his fist and punching the second guard in the face, throwing him far back into a wall.
The first man and the guard who had spoken earlier lunged at James, but were brutally struck in the neck.
They got up to continue fighting, and while they fought, Peter Causey had already successfully drugged Sarah. He handed her the glass as she scanned the documents again, looking for the terms and conditions he had said were most important to note.
"Drink up, you don't have to strain your eyes looking for details." He told her, urging her to drink from the glass he had filled with the white substance.
"I'll take that now," he said, taking the documents he had given her to look over.
"But I'm not done going through them yet," she complained and he laughed softly.
"There's no need to rush the process, we have most of the night to do this. We will get through them together. Now sit back, relax and tell me about your company. Tell me what you have to offer me..." He smiled at her.
"While you take a drink and relax," Sarah had turned around when she saw him uncork the wine and pour it into the glasses. In fact, she mentally believed that she had seen him pour the wine.
She thought it was just a harmless drink, but her head had begun to hurt badly...
Outside the door, James battled the men, picking up a fire extinguisher and punching one of them in the face, hitting his cheekbone and jawbone and sending some of his teeth sprawling across the floor.
The guard in question was knocked unconscious by the force of the blow.
The second guard refused to go down and got to his feet.
James's palm struck the guard's chest, and although it appeared that James had used little force, it felt as if he had pierced the opponent's internal organs, causing him to spit blood from his mouth.
The pain spread throughout the guard's body.
"How can this be?!" He thought to himself.
He had felt James using no force at all. The blow to his chest didn't feel like a stone fist; it was more like a pillow. Still, the pain spread through his organs.
Unable to hold it in, he coughed up a mouthful of blood!
"Enough," James said.
He didn't seem to notice that the second guard behind him stood up again, this time with a staff in his hand.

Peter Causey glared at Sarah as her head began to bob from the dizziness she felt as a result of the drugs he had slipped into her drink. She tried to mumble a complaint, but she did not want him to think she was drunk or anything. Unknown to her, he had drugged her.She felt a delirious, staggering sensation overtake her as she spoke.Peter Causey stood and took the glass from her drooping hands. He placed the glass on the table in front of her and then gently helped her to her feet."It's okay, come on, try to get some rest, it's all right," he said as he led her to the bed. Sarah was not sure what was going on as everything was foggy and her mind was filled with clouds and smoke.Peter Causey laid her back down on the bed as she turned her head from side to side trying to fight the effects of the drug. "Shh shh, don't fight it beautiful, don't fight it," he said, smoothing her hair back with his hand.He laid her down and plopped down beside her, waiting for the drug to take full e

He placed his hand tightly over her mouth to muffle her screams and efforts to escape his hold. Tears filled Sarah's eyes as he molested her with his hands and mouth. Her tears soaked the bed under her head as she struggled against his strong, overpowering grip.He reached out to grope her breast when he heard the commotion outside the door. He got off her grudgingly pulled up his pants and walked briskly to the door.He looked through the peephole and found James in a fistfight with the guards outside. Two of his men had come from outside and they were all fighting one man.Yet, through the peephole, he could see that James was already overpowering them. He began to curse and skip backward with his trousers halfway up his leg.Sarah turned in the bed quietly struggling to sit up, she could barely even raise her hands, everything around her seemed to take a spin of its own accord and she could not control how she felt or even think properly.James had barely held one man down before t

James held Peter Causey by his collar and landed another punch to his already broken nose."This will teach you not to mess with women. They are the weaker vessel, fragile, and are to be protected not manipulated or hurt!" He said granting him another punch.Peter whimpered as James stood over him with an upper hand of power hitting him across the face. He could barely utter a word and so he settled for sounds instead. James allowed his eyes to scan the room for the camera that he had heard the other men talk about while he was outside before he began to fight them."Where is it? Where is it?!" James yelled at Peter Causey, but he had no idea what James was referring to."Where is the camera you intended on using to humiliate Sarah, where is the darn camera you fool!" He hit him across the face again, as Peter's hand rose shakily, he directed his forefinger towards the direction of the table behind James where he had placed the camera within a flower vase.James got up off him and we

The security guard nodded at James turned his eyes back to Mr. Peter Causey and said- "Sir, you have to come with us now" he nodded at his men to take Peter away along with his unconscious guards whom James had beaten up and left for half dead.James rushed to Sarah's side and immediately took off his coat and put it around her as he tried his best to lift her. He put his hand under her head gently helping her off the bed.Slowly, even though she was still partially conscious, he met the Chief Security officer at the door and urged him to keep everything that had happened there quiet in order not to alert more attention than was necessary.He knew Sarah would be utterly ashamed of the situation and hurt herself for even putting herself in that situation in the first place. He knew she would blame herself for all that had happened and he did not want her to deal with all of that."Please keep this quiet as possible, as much as you can. It does not leave the ears and eyes of this walls"

As soon as the car came to a halt, James pushed open the car door and helped Sarah out of the car after he had gotten out himself. He shut the door and waved the driver goodbye.Standing on the pavement in front of the Grande Hotel where they had been lodged for the past couple of weeks as guests in the double apartment on the fourteenth floor.He helped Sarah stand straight, as the cool air hit her face, she regained some consciousness and was able to walk slightly carrying and pushing her weight around.James held her up by the waist so they could maintain a casual posture as they walked into the hotel lobby. He placed her on a sofa in the waiting area of the reception while he went to retrieve their key.The receptionist stared from him to the lady he had just put down whose clothes were partially ripped even though he had buttoned up his coat in her to give her a certain level of decency, her ripped strap could still be seen through the coat."Sorry about that, she had too much to

"I will not let you subject Sarah to such an act of mockery before the eyes of the public and much less that lecherous fool." James sneered angrily."Did you not see the news as you claimed to have? That man almost raped and defiled your daughter? Do you not care anything about that??"He was on edge at this point, trying hard to understand what sort of irrational people he was currently speaking with."You have suddenly become the man of the hour, haven't you? You seem to have it all figured out. What happened to Sarah last night would not have been incandescent to the public, if you in your ardent desire to be useful had not jumped in at the time you did." Sarah's mother, Mrs Brown shot at him.Her eyes lit with anger and hate as she ran her eyes over his frame. "Ha," she scoffed at him. "I honestly wondered what my husband was thinking when he asked Sarah to settle for a low-rent husband when he could have gotten a classed one" She shook her head at him.James' jaw hardened, his f

Sarah stood at the top of the stairs watching them with a startled expression on her face. Her eyes darted from her brother and Mother to James' stiffened frame. She caught the spilled soda on the floor, and the crushed can in his hand.Taking the steps, two at a time, she rushed over to her Mother's side.." what is going on here?" She asked with a livid look on her face."You can ask this fool you are married to! He attacked us first! He had the guts to insult our mother simply because she insisted that you deserve better", Theodore replied first.Sarah assessed the room again, her gaze landing on Thomas, she caught his bloodshot eyes, and the can in his hand for the second time. Her eyes widened in realization, as she took for word exactly what her older brother said."Is that what this has resorted to? Do you now insult my parents? How dare you, James Johnson?!" She yelled at him furiously.James stared at her, his bloodshot eyes staring on in disbelief."Who gave you the right to

The Doctor gently placed the plaster over his nose, after dabbing away the excess blood with a cotton swab. Peter Causey used the mirror handed to him to access his newly reconstructed nose.The bruises from his fight with James had distorted his face to an almost unrecognizable state, yet, the Doctor had said he would heal fast enough if he stuck to his daily medication religiously.Causey's face contorted into a ferocious expression, a vicious growl escaped his throat as he continues to assess his injury. He was more determined to deal with Sarah Brown for the shame and disgrace she had brought upon him."You are free to leave anytime you want, Mr. Causey, but I would suggest maximum rest, and stay away from tedious activities, especially ones that would end in a fight" the Doctor advised."You should do more formal education than sit in the practical field, Doctor Greg. How about you send a nanny to do the babysitting?" Peter Causey said to his friend and personal Doctor, Greg Hami

James went to his car and pulled out his box of rifles and set them on his lap."What are you doing?" The General asked him. James continued to rack through his weapons, pulling out a knife, a gun and a couple of other things."Where's the Captain?" James asked him. Suddenly realizing. "What? I don't know. Wasn't he inside the hall?" The General replied.James cocked his gun and handed it to the General. " He wasn't." James replied. His eyes remained pinned across the street.The charity event was probably still goin on."Listen. I have a strong feeling he is a part of this. When you find him, put a bullet in his shoulder for me. Some officers are back at the barracks. Stefan is one of them.“"The Lieutenant? You made a lieutenant stay back, James?" The General asles looking at him surprise."That is the least of our worries.

"Mr. Rizzo, what's going on?" Her voice trembled. Her heart took on a sudden tempo that made her feel something was wrong."It is nothing, Miss Brown. They are friends, don't worry." As soon as he said that, one of the men walked up to her and hit her across the face.James shuddered in his seat. It hit him strongly like a sixth sense. His eyes began to scan the room for Sarah. He was sure he had seen her there a couple of moments ago."It is an honour to be gathered here. One of the greatest events is raising leaders," the president's speech continued."What is it, Mr. Johnson? Is everything okay?" The official beside him asked."Have you seen my wife? She is supposed to be seated there. She was, but, she is no longer there." James replied."I haven't seen her. But I will ask the other officials if you want." The woman offered."Please do." James replied, but that was not enough. He still felt a strange feeling beneath his chest. He knew something wasn't right.Suddenly, his phone be

The doorbell dinged, drawing the attention of the maid. She unlocked the door and took the uniform from the drycleaner.James was upstairs getting changed, while Sarah sat at her dressing table putting on her make up. His designed uniform had arrived, and he took it from the maid at the door.He turned to Sarah as soon as he was done putting on his clothes. They had not spoken since their last argument.Sarah noticed his struggle with a button. Everything accused her of what she was about to do. The silence between her screamed at her too.So, she got up from her dressing stool and walked up to him. She helped him pin the badges he had gotten before on his new uniform."I have to admit, you do look handsome in this uniform." She said with a smile.James looked into her eyes, but did not smile. He just stared, his eyes on hersnwere apologetic. And just like that, they both silently agreed that it was cool.He pressed his lips to hers, and kissed her. "I love you." He murmured against h

"You say that as if I am under your control or something!" Sarah said, raisin her voice at him."Control? Now you think I am trying to control you? Where do you get these ideas from??" James asked, looking at her in amazement."This is not about where I get my ideas from. It is if those ideas are true or not. James, I need this charity event. It is going to be good for my business and regaining my family's name and financial freedom.""And what if it is just a trap? You said it yourself, something doesn't add up about them. What they are doing does not seem right, or does it?" "I think I already clarified that doubt. Everything is fine, and with the massive turn up for the event, I will have more than hundreds of people making upfront payments to me, just so that I can handle their events." "And then? And then what, Sarah? What next?" James asked her."What do you mean by that? It is all I really need!" She replied angrily."You are not going for that event. And if I have to lock yo

"I know, but this, is exactly what it seems, General." James replied."The Inauguration ceremony is two days from now on, we cannot have any more problems. Sort out the security issues before anymore problems ensue." The General murmured."Yes General." James replied.Although he knew who the man had been referring to when he said Causey was working with someone who had a daughter, he still needed palpable evidence.***Sarah sat back in her office chair, savouring the light of the afternoon, as the knock sounded on her door."Come in!" She called out.The door opened and the woman who was dressed in an emerald green suit, walked in. Her eyes scouring the room in admiration."These are beautiful sets of furnitures. How else can one explain the idea of class, luxury and a gracious ambience if not this office?"

"Thank you for the advice. Now, don't ever call me up if it isn't something to do with you and my daughter getting a divorce." Mrs Brown said in a snide manner.Without waiting for a response, she got up and walked out of the restaurant. Sarah woke up that morning to find James gone. It was completely unlike him to just leave without speaking to her or at least letting her know he was leaving.Her phone had already been loaded with tons of messages concerning the charity event. Three people had already reached out to her organization to inform her they would be needing her services the next month."My goodness, basically every week in August is booked! I told you this would be a huge opportunity turn around for you." Viola said to Sarah when they met each other later that day."I couldn't agree more. Just one connect.

"Yes ma'am." The guard replied."Sarah! Oh my goodness, I did not believe you would actually show up!" Viola squealed as soon as she saw Sarah walk into the hall."I love your dress. It is exquisite." Sarah complimented her, before kissing the air beside her cheeks."I can't believe he allowed you to come out at this hour. Are you good? Are you sure?" Viola asked her and Sarah nodded."I don't want you and I to have any problems, Viola. At least for business sake." Sarah responded."I completely understand. I agree totally. I wouldn't want any issues between the two of us either." Viola replied. "Anyway, I am glad you came. There is someone here who would love to meet you.""This is just to prove to you that there will be a lot of people to connect with on the main event day. Sarah, meet Brianne.

James' eyes flashed. "I knew it was you. It was the same man he had chased round the hotel. The man who had hit him and run away."You trusted the wrong people, but if you tell me everything you know now, I will make sure you get a pardon and not all charges will be knocked on you." James said to him."Tell me why I should trust you." The man said to him."Give me.one good reason why I shouldn't bust up your ass here and light it up like a Christmas tree." James retorted. "Then again I suppose you would not have called me here if you didn't trust me to listen to you first.""I just want their reign of terror to end! First it was my wife and now, me! We are all trapped in this circle of use! We are indebted to that man and he ahs made us his slaves!" The man cried."Let me guess, Causey? Peter Causey?" James asked him."Peter Causey and someone else. I don't know his name, but I know he has a daughter, and he even hired this popular man who ran the great Chen heist." The man responded.

Sarah stared at Viola in consideration of what she had asked her. "How certain are you that all these people would attend?" Sarah asked her."Ask certain as I am of the fact that the darkness would cover the night sky tonight." Viola replied."Fine, I will attend the event, but only for my business sake. But I don't want to see you anywhere close to James. Are we clear?" Sarah asked.Viola rose her hands in surrender. "As you please." Sarah turned around and left. She bumped into Anna on her way heading to the elevator. It surprised Anna that she had been there, but she didn't even stop to apologize for bumping into her.Sarah put the phone to her ear and almost immediately, her assistant's voice came over the phone. "Where are you? "She asked her."Ma'am, I'm at the new office trying to set up." Her assistant responded. Sarah's face morphed into a frown. "What new office?" She asked her."I received your email this morning. Your husband said..." The girl kept quiet out of sudden con
