The Return Of Alexander Bennett; Ex Soldier Son In Law

Chapter Five

Cassie felt a surge of anxiety as she glanced at Brandon, aware that her friends were trying to provoke him. She knew they wanted to belittle her husband in front of Brandon, making her realize that Brandon was the better choice for her.

Brandon intervened, "You guys should stop. Cassie came here for business, so let's not bring her husband into this. I used to have feelings for Cassie in college, and I still do, but she's married now, and I have to respect that." He said somehow a bit annoyed with his friends.

Cassie looked at Brandon with gratitude, surprised by his wise words. But suddenly, she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. Her body began to feel light, and everything around her became blurry.

She tried to shake off the fogginess, but it was no use. She decided to excuse herself to use the bathroom, hoping a splash of water on her face would help.

"Excuse me, I'm not feeling well. May I use the bathroom?" she asked Brandon politely.

Brandon's response was laced with concern, "What's wrong, Cassie? You don't look fine. Is everything okay?" But if Cassie had been more perceptive, she would have caught the sinister smile spreading across Brandon's face.

"I'm okay, Brandon. I just need to use the bathroom. Excuse me," she replied, trying to hide her unease. Something definitely felt off.

How could she be suddenly feeling dizzy? It's nit like she ate something bad. She knew that her husband cook only healthy foods and was keen on avoiding anything Cassie was allergic to. How come was she feeling dizziness suddenly?

As Cassie struggled to her feet, she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her again, but she managed to grab onto the couch just in time.

One of the girls in the room suggested, "I think I should go with her. She doesn't look good on her own," and Brandon agreed, "Yeah, sure, I think you should go with her. My sweet Cassie doesn't seem to be doing well, help her find the bathroom." Brandon then motioned to one of the girls to accompany Cassie.

As they left the room, the others burst into laughter, and Joshua exclaimed, "Brandon, you're so smart! I give that to you dude."

Brandon smiled smugly and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "I have to be smart if I want to get a girl like Cassie. She rejected me back in college, and even now, she still keeps rejecting me. But when her company faces a problem, she comes crawling to me for help. What a joke! She thinks I'm a fool, but I'll take what I want from her, badly."

Brandon's evil grin spread across his face as he continued, "You know, it was all part of my plan. If you had waited and drugged her wine later, a girl like Cassie would have gotten suspicious. But thanks to my clever suggestion, the plan worked perfectly."

John chimed in, "Now all we have to do is clear out and prepare the space. And don't forget your promise, Brandon. After you're done with her, let us have our fun too." He wiggled his eyebrow at Brandon who just chuckled.

Brandon then agreed, laughing as if they were discussing a thrilling game and not defamation of a married woman.

Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Cassie splashed water on her face, hoping to clear her foggy mind and blurry vision. But it didn't work, and she stared at her reflection in the mirror, not caring about the smudged makeup all over her face.

She was still fighting the grogginess, her brain numb and her thoughts jumbled. She just couldn't understand what exactly is happening to her now. Where from all this dizziness?

The girl who had accompanied her to the bathroom hurriedly handed her a phone and whispered urgently, "I don't know who you are and I don't care. However, if you want to save your life and your body, get someone to come and rescue you right now. Brandon drugged your wine, and that's why you're feeling so dizzy. I'm a woman like you, and I can't stand their act. So hurry up and call for help! Better not call th police!"

In a desperate bid to save herself, the lady urged Cassie to take her phone and call for help, warning her that time was of the essence.

Even she herself was afraid what Brandon and the rest might do to her if she was caught.

The lady's words tumbled out in a rush as she handed Cassie her phone, having left her own bag behind in the room.

Cassie's mind raced as she took the phone and quickly dialed her mother's number, but there was no answer. She tried her younger sister and father, but they didn't pick up either.

Panic set in as the phone slipped from her grasp. Her hands were trembling and she was grateful that such news helped clear her mind a little.

The lady's patience wore thin as she watched her new phone fall to the bathroom floor. What the hell?

"Hey! Watch it, girl! That's a brand new phone!" she exclaimed, snatching it up and handing it back to Cassie, who looked at her with tears welling up in her eyes.

"Wait! Don't tell me you've got no one to call for help?" The lady asked Cassie if she had no one else to call, and Cassie wondered if she should try to escape.

"I don't! How about I escape instead?" Cassie asked, her lips trembling in fear and panic.

But the woman was adamant that fleeing was not an option, given the hotel's security and Brandon's uncle's influence.

"Don't even think about it. Don't you know who this hotel belongs to? It's Brandon uncle's. Escaping is out if the equation." The lady shook her head frantically.

She was starting to get worried because they've been un the bathroom for a while now. Brandon and his friends weren't fools. They would soon catch up to what was going on.

As Cassie continued to try the doors of other possibilities, the lady grew frustrated with her naivety.

"Don't you have anyone else to call?" she pressed, trying to think of someone who could help.

Cassie's thoughts turned to someone she never expected - her husband, Alex. She hesitated, wondering if he would even answer, but decided to try.

As the phone rang, Cassie prayed that Alex would pick up.

Finally, just as she was about to lose hope, a deep, muscular voice answered. "Hello, who is this?" Alex asked, and Cassie's pleas for help tumbled out in a desperate bid for rescue.

In a state of panic, Cassie's desperate plea rang through the phone... "Alex, please, you have to help me! I need you to save me, now! I'm in a frave danger! Brandon wants to...."

But before she could utter another word, the bathroom door burst open, and Brandon stormed in, his face red with anger, accompanied by his two friends.

"Aahh!" Cassie screamed in panic when the door was burst opened.

Without hesitation, Brandon stormed and slapped the lady who was in the bathroom with Cassie before grabbing the phone from Cassie and smashing it on the floor and stomped on it several times to make sure it was broken.

"HOW DARE YOU!"

Brandon bellowed to the lady before ordering his two friends... "Take her to the room!"

Without delay, the two friends picked Cassie up and walked out of the bathroom despite Cassie's screaming for help.
