3. That night 3

He placed his hand on the doorknob to open it but suddenly stopped like her remembered something.

"Who are you?" He asked the person behind the door.

"It's me man just open the door," A voice replied

He opened the door after he confirmed the voice.

A sinewy-looking white beard man in his late forties walked into the room dragging the chef by the neck of his clothing and forcing him to move all while pointing a gun at his head.

"Mam!" He called out before being pushed to the floor where he crashed face flat causing him to bleed from the nose.

"Please I beg...

Kloe stopped halfway as a gun was pointed at her head.

The man wearing a black leather jacket withdrew the gun before asking

"Now that most of you are here, I'll ask this question one more time, where are the contract documents? "

Kloe raised her head in the utmost confusion,

" What documents?" She asked

"Don't play games with me Kloe where are they? " He asked again in a harsh voice.

" How will I know the documents unless you tell me!" Kloe yelled.

" Are you yelling at me miss Duran, how dare you! " He shut her up with yet another resounding slap that instantly turned her cheek red.

"Bounty fashion, where is the document?" He asked again.

"I have no idea what is going on now, I have no bounty fashion documents, who told you I did, I've not even signed the contract yet," Kloe cried.

Earlier that month, due to their massive decrease in sales and bad reviews due to poor qualities, bounty fashion which was once a prestigious fashion company in the states took the decision to close down their franchise.

Kloe heard this report and thought it would be favorable to buy it from them, she contacted the CEO and requested to buy the company to which they refused saying they plan to rebrand the fashion line, change its name, and create new recognizable designs.

Less than two weeks later, Kloe was contacted by bounty fashion saying they wanted to sell the franchise to her and she agreed to it without hesitation.

She began processing everything documents and procedures needed for full ownership of the franchise and just the day before this incident, she was issued a document of ownership to sign but she wanted it to be signed and sealed in the presence of the original owner Mr. Chen

"The documents of ownership?" She asked

"Yes b*tch where is it! " He yelled at her and just then a knock was heard on the door.

He headed for the door with the key hanging on his finger, he inserted it into the keyhole and asked.

"Who's there?"

"It's me sir," A voice replied and he went ahead to open the door.

"I didn't see anyone else, I think this all of them," Said the blue-eyed man.

As he was about to walk into the room, a gunshot was heard from behind him and in a matter of seconds blood was seen on his left foot and flowing into his shoes.

"Arg!" He winced in pain as he covered up the wound with his hands.

"Everyone heads on the flood now!" The black leather jacket man shouted as he pushed the tied servants down making their heads touch the ground, the very frightened Kloe also buried her head in her hands facing the ground.

As their heads lay low, they could hear gunshots and physical combatants, Kloe raised her head slightly to see what was going on but could only see their legs and hand hands moving and punching each other.

He was quick to deliver punches to his opponent but his so-called opponent was quick to dodge them, he grabbed his opponent by the hand and they both crashed into a nearby table.

The white beard man also joined in on the fight but was shot in his left leg by an unknown gunman.

The fight seized for a moment as they became curious as to who had shot the gun.

And just then a group of police officers flooded the room grabbing the leathered jacket man and his minions.

Kloe raised her head and was surprised to see them handcuffed to their back with an officer pushing them out of the room.

"Are you okay mam?" An officer asked her and she nodded positively

"We were alerted and came as soon as we can, the man who called us saved your life, where is he anyways?" The officer asked as he scanned the room looking for someone.

" He was stabbed in the right hand, he is on his way to the hospital," Another officer replied.

" Who is he?" Kloe asked.

While untying the other servants, he replied

" I'm not sure, he never mentioned his name, there was no time for that."

Though Kloe was traumatized, she just sat on the floor and watched the officers do their job, she watched in pain as the dead body of his security guard was taken away still dripping wet with blood. Also, the other servant who was killed in the bathroom was moved out as well.

"Are you okay mam?" Her chef asked

"How did they get in?" Shee asked as an answer

" I'm not sure mam, we were all asleep when it happened, we tried to alert you but we were captured, our lips were tied up and we were guarded by two hefty men in the kitchen, while there two of us were killed and the white beard man grabbed me and brought me here." The chef narrated

Kloe's attention was divided so she only heard a few words he said, she had so many questions she wanted to ask, who sent them, why they wanted the documents, why they killed her servants, and how they got in despite her tight security. But most importantly, who was he that saved her life that night?

"What hospital was he taken to ?" She asked the officer.

"I'm not sure, I'll confirm and get back to you, in the meantime try to get a sleep and maybe see a therapist," He advised

" Please find out soon, I need to thank him, maybe pay the hospital bills," She said.

" Do not worry mam, his hospital bills are already taken care of."

Just then she received a phone call.

" Hello!" she said placing the phone next to her ear.

"What do you mean kidnapped?" She asked with an expression of shock written all over her face, it appeared the night wasn't just her night.
