Chapter 5: Taken to the Enemies

"Not after I paid Harper two hundred thousand dollars to bring you to me. If I let you go, that would be a loss for me," Frank said and his friends laughed. "Having you to myself is compensation for the part I played in sending your husband to jail. Get up and put up a dance show for us…start by rocking those wide hips of yours."

Anna was reluctant. This made Frank furious. He walked up to her and slapped her face, then yanked her hair to get her standing on her feet.

"Do it now." He ordered.

Anna was still persistent. Frank decided to play her by bringing her daughter into the picture. He was going to force her to do what he says. "If you really want to save your daughter, you will have to please me and my friends tonight. You will dance and later we will all have fun with you right here on this couch."

Four bundles of hundred dollar bills were laid on the table by Frank. This was to compel her.

Frank pointed at the money. "That's more than enough money for your daughter's surgery. Now do as I say."

Anna stared at the money. She swallowed a hard lump at the back of her throat. She had no choice but to do what Frank wanted. She dropped Mimi on the floor and slowly began dancing, rocking her hips in a seductive motion.

Frank was excited that he could compel Anna to dance by using the money. He smiled evilly knowing the money was just bait.

He was going to use her emotions to exploit her. All they wanted was to have fun with her for a while then toss her and her daughter out.

One of Frank's friends got up and walked up to Anna. He began dancing and rocking his hips with her, rubbing his groin against her buttocks. He put his hands on her. She protested, struggled and tried to stop him but he kept at it.

It only got worse as the second man joined them. Anna felt assaulted. It dawned on her that all these men were trying to rape her her not just Frank. One of them suddenly tore her dress from behind revealing her bare back. She screamed for help, but no help came.

As they continued to harass Anna, they had no idea that Joel was already in the building.

Joel had arrived filled with rage. He had let out the beast in him. The beast he had locked up for five years to live a peaceful life with his wife and daughter. His grandfather, Carl Brown Winston had given him full control of his men.

They were now following Joel's orders.

Joel's men fought the guards at the Hotel, paving the way for Joel to go through. He stormed into the night club but didn't see Anna and Mimi.

He then walked into the VIP area and found two men touching his wife roughly. They had ripped off her dress and they were trying to force themselves on her. He could see Frank smiling. He was watching as she was assaulted.

Joel stormed in like an enraged bull. "Take your fucking hands off my wife!"

He picked up a champagne bottle and whacked the first man on the head. Blood splattered on his face.

Joel pulled at the second man and broke his arm in two. He then lunged at Frank…

Joel grabbed Frank and punched him in the face several times until Frank began bleeding and was almost out of breath.

Frank's friends were having a fun time at the VIP area when Joel's men arrived. They were prevented from leaving and Joel ordered his men to take them into custody.

Mimi who had seen her father storm in to save her mother couldn't help but get excited.

Joel hugged Anna. She clung onto him, crying. He picked up his little daughter, kissing them both on their foreheads.

"I'm sorry it took me this long to come for you guys," he whispered.

"They said you'll be behind bars for a long time. Harper brought me—"

"Shhh…it's okay. I'm here now, darling." Joel rubbed Anna's back. "I know all that happened. Harper is currently in my custody. We'll deal with him later."

Frank growled once he was back on his feet. "You are supposed to be in prison. What are you doing here?"

Joel ignored Frank. He called his new secretary who was standing behind him to take his wife, Anna and his daughter, Mimi, out of the hotel to a safe place.

"You dare come here and disrupt our fun." Frank walked up to Joel, glaring at him. "You should be in prison. How are you still roaming free?"

Joel glared back. "Is that why your friends were about to rape wife? You and your league of other assholes think I would rot in jail, huh?"

"We paid Harper. I don't see how we were assaulting her. She is ours. We bought her for a huge amount."

Joel hit Frank's face, causing him to trip over the table. "She's my wife, not some whore. You bastard!"

"Son-of-a-bitch." Frank cried out.

"You all think I'm just an ordinary businessman who got famous before going low-key. Sorry to bust your bubble, I'm not ordinary," Joel muttered.

"You aren't as important as you say. You are a loser. You lost everything. You weren't here for your wife and daughter three years ago, you disappeared. Why are you acting like a hero now? We all know you're nobody."

Joel grinned and shook his head. "I only disappeared for a while after the jerks you work for tried to kill me."

"You are full of shit, Joel. Going low-key gave everyone a breath of fresh air. You were a pain in the ass to most of the businessmen in Florida. You were awarded contracts on a platter of gold."

"Says someone who isn't anything but a loud mouth." Joel hissed. "I'm good at what I do, that's why I got all those contracts , made lots of money and made a name for myself. After my enemies tried to kill me, I decided to leave the corporate world. To live a peaceful life where troubles and violence do not exist."

Joel gazed down into Frank's eyes."But you guys came after me again. I was framed as a fraudster and you kidnapped my wife to assault her. I'm back now, and I won't be going anywhere this time."

"You will swallow those words of yours when Xavier Taylor comes here. He would make you disappear for good."
