CHARLES’ LOCATIONEveryone were now present, including Longman's wife and kid. “Mommy, who are these people?” The boy asked, in a trembling voice as tears ran down his face.“Just…shhh…. It's okay.” The woman hushed him gently and softly.She was also shaking as well and it was as if she was going to pass out out of fear and anxiety if those men kept standing.Charles had made his guards to stand and watch them as they were tied up. Then Charles walked in with James and Vera walked in a few seconds after them.“So, this is perfect. This is where we are going to work things out.” Charles said, with a smile on his face.“please who are you and why are you doing this to us?” The woman asked, with tears running down her face.“Tch! You should blame your husband for this calamity that has befallen you because I will ensure that he feels the pain he inflicts on people.” Charles said, with assurance.“Please don't do this to us. You can't do this to us. I know my husband must have caused yo
"Boss, she is now in the mansion." Kavon reported."Make sure you keep an eye on her." Lord Daniel instructed."Yes, boss. By the way, should we start, now that she is here?" Kavon asked."Not yet.""Alright, boss."After his meeting, he made a move to leave the company he had a meeting in, and at the lobby, he came across Michael. Seeing him always made him want to rush up his plan, but he was going to be patient, and work on it, steadily."Lord Daniel, what a surprise to see you." Michael said, with a smile.Lord Daniel stared at Michael, without bothering to give him a reply."Uhm… if you do not mind, I have something I'll like to speak to you about." He said, looking like he didn't mind the way Lord Daniel stared at him."And what's that about?" Lord Daniel asked."It's about the lady you purchased, at the auction."~He slammed his wrist on the table, in anger."You made me come to your office, just so you can splitter this nonsense?""Lord Daniel, please be calm. I felt it is so
VERA'S POVWhat the lady down the basement had said, was true. The war between the Mafia Lords was a rough game, and I was certainly going to be trampled on, while they are at it. Lord Daniel, making me a bait showed that my death was near."Kavon, prepare her for today's training." He instructed, and walked out of the dungeon.Now, I understood the reason he bought me for $50 million. He had seen my innocence as an advantage to his plan."Follow me." Kavon said.We got to a large pool, and then I noticed that there was another large pool."There could be a time when you could be in a problem, probably things got too rough, learning how to stay underwater, would be helpful as you could come across a situation that needs you to stay calm, underwater." My eyes widened in fear. Was he going to tell me to stay in this pool for a few minutes?"If you can't stay in this pool for up to three minutes, you will be bound inside the cold pool for three minutes, and try not to go unconscious, be
On the other hand, Charles and James had discovered that Vera was no longer where they left her.“Vera!” Charles and James both called out her name, beginning to get worried that something had happened.“Where could she have gone to?” James uttered, feeling really anxious about the situation.They had checked the CCTV to be certain if she had probably gone out of the house; probably she couldn’t mention that she had to leave, but even the CCTV didn’t record her leaving.“Oh, my goodness!” Andrew exclaimed, although his voice wasn’t loud.“What’s wrong?” Charles asked as he walked up to him in case he probably had an idea of what could have happened.Andrew didn’t say a word, but he immediately headed out to the room where he had shown them his tech products as first, and both Charles and James followed after him immediately, trying to understand find out what was going on.As Andrew got into the room, he headed straight for the door which was out of boundaries, and then he checked the
MELISSA’S POVI was back to Lord Daniel’s mansion, and I sat in my room, feeling down. How did I manage to get into this trouble? It’s just as that lady said to me that I would end up in a battle ground between both of them, and I would be like the grass that suffers when elephants fight. Recalling that, I decided to go to the basement and ask a few questions. I stood up from the bed, and walked out of the room. I looked left and right in the hallway, and tiptoed out of the hallway. On getting to the sitting room, I looked around to be certain there was no one lurking around anywhere. I knew it was because I was about to do something which could cost me my life, or make Lord Daniel torture me, that I was carefully walking.As soon as I got to the stairs leading to the basement, it felt as if a huge rock was dropped in my heart. I felt like my blood became cold.“You can do this, Melissa.” I muttered under my breath.I walked down the stairs, step by step, careful not to make a noise.
VERA’S POV Here I was, right before the college. I couldn’t believe I was sent to study fashion designing. Out of all courses in the world, I had to go for fashion designing. Somehow, I just felt it within me that fashion designing was way too low compared to what I could do.I had this feeling that I was destined to do something more innovative, but I couldn’t just fathom what it was, at this point.Anyways, I am thankful, still, because I could still manage fashion designing. It was still a reputable course, with a promising future. I walked into the building, and found the class I was to have this morning.I was late, and it was so weird as half of the class turned their heads to look at me.“Miss whatever, this should be your first and last time you come in to my class late. I am Professor Darwin and I do not tolerate both lateness and laziness in my class.” He spoke sternly, and I nodded, pursing my lips out of embarrassment.About half of the class laughed, making things worse,
Vera felt hopeless and like she was doomed. She knew how important it was for a lady to have her purity to herself, and it was obvious that these guys would still ask for sex some other time, and there’s no way in the world that she would be able to decline their request and gradually, she would be their underdog with no respect.Before anything else could happen, someone grabbed her arm out of nowhere, and was able to dodge some hits from the Pride Boys. Vera had no time to see who it was; all she just wanted at that moment was to get far away from them, without them having to achieve the bad goal they had of her.As they got out of the school, they kept on running, and this time, Vera had the time to look at who it was.“Who are you? And why did you save me from them?” She asked inquisitively.At least, anyone would like to know who their savior is and what pushed them to save them.“I’m Andrew, but I will tell you the rest of the details, as soon as we get to a safe place.” Andrew s
James overheard the conversation that went on between Charles and Louis and he moved closer to Charles.“Could it be her man? You know, recently, she has been acting like she someone has come into her life.” James said.“Does that give him the right to act this way towards the man he presumes to be her boss?” Charles uttered, feeling outright disrespected.“I understand. Probably he’s just scared that something might have happened to her. You know, when the love is just blooming, they act so mad in love.”“None of what you’re saying is helping right now.”“I want you to track the caller, and track his moves, just so we know what he’s up to.” Charles instructed, feeling uneasy about the call.He felt uneasy because he truly couldn’t get in touch with vera, which meant he couldn’t produce her to her boyfriend. He also couldn’t explain where she went to, because if he explained that she’s on a trip, she ought to be reachable, and no CCTV or airline would record her leaving the city or cou
