Mag-log inLoverina woke up, agnising her eyes were tied and her hands too. She was on a chair and was tied to it. How on Earth did she get into such position and then, she remembered the man who approached her at the hospital and that was all.
“Where are my?” Loverina screeched, that her voice echoed through the dark warehouse.
“You are awake?” The voice was lull, but for Loverina, it sounded shuddery. One do not need to announce it to her that she has been kidnapped.
“Who are you and what do you want from me?” Loverina yelled and tried to sputter herself free, but to no avail.
“Shhh… You are too loud! And, don't struggle to get free because, you will only hurt yourself the more.” And true, the ropes were tight against her skin.
Loverina was quiet and tried to think of something, but she was so scared to think straight and that was when she heard footsteps approaching.
“Sir, you are here!” A voice said and Loverina knew it their boss.
“Nice work!” The approaching footsteps stopped.
“Thank you sir!” Voices responded and Loverina's heart, skipped a beat.
“Please, whoever you are, I beg of you…. Please do not hurt me, I have a sick grandmother and I am all she has. Let me go, please!” Loverina voice was shaky. The room suddenly fell into total silence, and it frightened her.
“Hm mmm… Remove the sack, let me get a proper look at her!” The voice ordered, and Loverina began to shiver.
The sack was removed from Loverina's head. At first, her sight was a blur and there was only one bulb in the warehouse. It was hard to see clearly.
The man, who looked like the boss, looked huge and powerful, he had a smirk on as he matched closer to Loverina. Her beautiful green eyes won't stop staring at the man in front of her.
“Who are you, and what do you want? Money? Okay, I don't have any, I swear. Please, just let me go.” Loverina demanded with her tiny feminine tone. She then scanned the room and noticed it was just the man. There were four more persons behind, and she swallowed hard again, “Please, I have nothing to of…” She was about to finish her statement when the man in front of her shouted.
“Shut up, your fucking mouth! And who told you I only kidnapped you for money?” He asked, and Loverina's eyes widened in shock. Was she about to be sold to a trafficking Lord? Was the person in front of her going to trade her?
“What do you want?” She struggled again but as expected, the ropes were tightly tied.
“You make a lot of noise young girl and I hate noise, you know?.... So, you asked why I got you kidnapped, right?” And Loverina nodded helplessly, “Play the video!” The young man commanded.
Only if Loverina was rich enough to own a television or a smartphone, she would have known it was Jayden, the heir to the Oscars' family company. Jayden stepped aside and Andrew walked over.
Loverina recognized the face and her eyes widened, “It was him! I remember now!” She muttered to herself and looked up at him again to confirm, “It was you! You were at the hospital, and you approached me outside. You kidnapped me!” Loverina orally attacked and got a slap from Jayden. He didn't care who whatever gender, since the feminist claimed they were men too, he treated all the woman so. Everyone was equal and so, beating a lady was the same as beating a man. His slap was so severe that it left red blood shots on her pretty cheek.
“If you want a harmless conversation, talkless pretty.” Jayden touched her already red cheek and laughed. Loverina turned away, but Jayden forced back her face to look and his smiling face. He was the devil himself and Loverina spit on his face.
“You are a one tough bitch!” He pushed her head away, stood straight and cleaned the saliva on his face.
“So sorry, sir, should we teach her a lesson?” One of the men behind him asked,, and he nodded.
The three men walked up to her, One have her a blow on her stomach and another, on her face. She groaned and cried out! The three gave her hot punches until Jayden signaled them to stop. They were beasts like their boss. Jayden matched up to Loverina and the other men paved the way.
“How is it now? Still feel like it?” Jayden asked and burst out in laughter. His laugh was so loud that one would think it was the devil laughing at his captives. He turned to Andrew, “Now, play the video to her!” He ordered and Andrew nodded.
Andrew was as tough as his boss, but he hated to hurt a woman. He could only give orders but cannot hurt a woman. Loverina happens to be the only lady he had laid a hand on… Andrew walked up to Loverina's seat and dropped the tablet on her laps and clicked on the play.
Loverina stayed quiet and focused on the video. It was a video of her on the way to the hospital and then, she bumped into a car and Andrew stopped the video. Loverina remembered and swallowed her saliva. Indeed, she was in trouble because, the side mirror was broken and that was why, the pains on her back was severe.
“So?” Jayden's question woke her back to reality,, and she felt hopeless.
Loverina looked up at the man she thought to be the boss, “I am sorry! I swear, I did not know about the damaged mirror.” Tears began rolling down from her eyes. She knew now that the man wasn't an ordinary man. He was wealthy to have such an expensive car.
“And you think your sorry will repair it? You have to pay!” Jayden said when walking around the chair, Loverina was tied on.
“If I even have the money, I will use it to save my grandmother first. I don't have any money on me and if I don't leave here to get out the money for her treatment, she will die.” More tears rolled down. Loverina couldn't look up at Jayden, she felt unworthy.
As soon as the door opened, all eyes fell on her. Her clothes were obviously that of a man. The only one who didn't look stunned was Andrew. Though he thought she left already but seeing her around, he then understood the reason Jayden sent him on an errand the previous night.Loverina moved away from the door and lowered her face. “I didn't know you had ...” She was saying with regret but Andrew stopped her.“No worries.” He turned to the men who came with him. “Please wait at the desk, I will come for you soon.” They nodded and started to walk away but not Rita. Instead she had her eyes scanning Loverina with disgust.As Andrew wanted to step in, Rita shoved him aside and entered the office. First thing she noticed was the man clothing on Loverina actually belongs to Jayden. It was oversized in her small body but, she looked cute in it. Andrew on the other hand couldn't pinpoint what Rita's problem was. Her attitude wasn't adding up. Though he knew how annoying she could be, stil
Loverina was dumbfounded. She lacked the right words to use or how to react. didn't know if she was to thank him or remain silent.“Thanks!” she finally said it after concluding that it was the best to say. But Jayden wasn’t opening his eyes. He remained like that for more than a minute.Scared that something might be wrong, she passed her index finger below his nose to confirm he is breathing.“Is he sleeping already?” She asked in shock of realization. He didn't even wait for her and she smiled.Another thing she missed was lying down close to him as she used to back in New York when they ere staying in the hotel. She couldn’t understand herself anymore because the more she tried to understand him, the more wishes to be by his side regardless of their beginning. There was just something so pure about him and yet, he was showing everyone a heartless man. Or maybe that was a shield to protect himself, to hid his loneliness from getting advantaged of.‘Could it be the reason he is so c
Back to work.While he was still trying to log into his email, Rita opened the door without knocking. It distracted Jayden because he immediately turned to see who it was. Surely, it wasn’t Andrew.“Hey!” Rita said as their eyes met.“One day, you will give me a heart attack. Know first. One day I might be in a good mood and charge towards you before I would know it’s you,” Jayden teased, and Rita rolled her eyes at him.“You wish!” Saying that, she took a seat. “And you are yet to be in such a mood for years.” She laughed.“So what do you want?” he asked as he leaned back and folded his arms.“To use your room. I am so tired and sleepy,” she said while yawning.“No. You can’t for today! She is sleeping. You can stay in a hotel.” She frowned.“Who? One of your sluts?”“Hey, don’t address them like that. Also, she is not a slut,” he corrected, and Rita lost it.“Oh, I see. Who is she to you?” Rita’s voice was a bit louder than usual.“You do not need to know. And she is not like the ot
As soon as it clocked 5pm, the board meeting came to an end. Jayden asked of Loverina in front of Rita but because of an urgent thing to sort out, she went back to her office on another floor. Jayden rushed to his office, along side Andrew who had informed him that Loverina he wasn’t sure about Loverina and a few other staff.“Whoa!” One of them exclaimed at the sight in front of them.“You can leave now, I will call you later.” Jayden ordered and they all left, including Andrew. Rita who had just approached the door thought he would let her but to her surprise, “You too, Rita.” And shut the door close.Loverina had herself folded on one of his seats. It was the longest in the office. Her hair covered a part of her face which made it a bit scary.He reached the seat and squatted, slowly he removed the strides of hair and smiled.“I thought you went home already. I’m sorry for keepinf you waiting. I just have to work.” He apologized genuinely and attempted to kiss her tempting lips when
Again they were silent. Loverina made attempt to move closer. She wanted to touch him and tell him how she missed him without minding if she was nothing. She took a deep breath and opened her mouth to say the words when the door was pushed opened from outside and Andrew stepped in. His facial expression looked like one who had just seen a ghost.He diverted his stare to Jayden, and back at Loverina.“How?” It slipped out his mouth before he could stop himself. And quickly, covered with mouth with his palm, praying Jayden doesn’t pick offense and punish him later.“What do you want and sometimes, you should knock.” He cautioned Andrew.“I’m sorry sir. Didn’t know you had a guest around. I came to remind you that the directors are still waiting in the board room. Everyone is present.” He responded, trying so hard not to look at Loverina’s direction again. If Jayden was to forgive him for bashing in on them, then he would get provoked.“Tell them I will be there in five minutes.” Jayden
Loverina stood in front of the receptionist desk holding up two fancy bags. The people around gave her weird gazes which made her wonder if something was wrong or her clothing.“How many I help you?” The receptionist asked, scanning her from head to toe.This made everything worse for her. She felt so uncomfortable. Though she was certain of her clothes and makeup because there was no way Peggy would let her leave the house looking crazy. And regret flowed her mind. She would have just stayed back at home, missing Jayden in peace while keeping Peggy company.“I…” She delayed, thinking of the right way to introduce herself.‘Do I say girlfriend or a close friend to Jayden?’ She asked internally.“ have you suddenly lost your voice or something else?” The receptionist who obviously didn’t like her, asked with a scowled face.“No…. Not like that. I’m sorry. It’s my first time here.” Loverina apologized, deeply wishing a familiar face would come in to her rescue but unfortunately, none wa
