I ventured in and thought the guards who followed me would do the same but no, they lagged outside and bowed. Well, I didn’t read any meaning to it, especially when I could see Jericho right in there. Although his back was against the door. I could still see the glass of wine that was wrapped in his strong veiny hands. The guards took their leave as I walked towards Jericho. I took a detailed look around as I made my way down.The room had no window. Its walls were coated with upholsters and the ground had some certain coolness that I felt in my legs as though there were ventilators. The room was just plain. Nothing special at all. Well, apart from the two cuffs that hung from an iron on the ceiling. “Jericho” I called out as I began to feel that something was amiss. It took him some time to turn around. When he did, his gaze was stone cold. He began to move toward me. There was a ferocious look on his face that I didn't understand. He strutted past me and made it towards the do
I struggled as much as I could but Jericho finally cuffed my second hand. “Get me down this minute!” I yelled and flung my legs in the air but my fight was all fruitless; he cuffed both of my legs and I was immobile. I shuddered in fear. I have never been held bound, I was always in charge. “Jericho! Get me down!” I yelled and my head ached badly.Jericho grasped my chin roughly making me look at him. He swiped his finger on my face to clean away some of the blood.“This is just the beginning. You will fucking crawl out of here by the time I am done with you,” he said in a gravelly tone. Then he began to take off my dress. I meant…he began to rip every obstruction to my naked body including my panties. I shuddered as the cold air the room emitted hit my delicate skin. With one tug on the handcuff on my wrist, I knew I was done for. The cuffs were not coming off anytime soon. Without saying a word, Jericho began to walk towards the door. “Where the fuck are you going!? You asshole?
Alex POVGoing after Jericho would change nothing since I won't be able to stop him. I just prayed Leia returned in one piece but I doubt it. I became restless and irritable. When I couldn't hold it anymore, I jumped into my car and drove out of the base.I drove around the city with no destination in mind. After a few minutes' drive I realized that I was at Crescent Clubhouse. Crescent Clubhouse house? It was a nice place to end up. I eased my car into the premises and made my way in.Well, you wouldn't blame me, I needed to get this shit out of my mind. I took my usual spot and ordered a few bottles of drinks.I had hardly begun drinking when one of my regulars sighted me. She walked towards me flaunting her boobs. I wasn't in for such shit. I glared at her as she approached but she took no notice. She approached me and began to dance. Nice move, I thought and began to sip down my drink while I fed my eyes on her.Without warning, her hand ended on my chest. She stroked me seduct
Jericho’s POVMy vision was red as I stared at Leia who lay unconscious on the bed. Her hair was scattered all over her face. Some strands were on the bed too. Lines of tears were evident on her face. She had fallen unconscious after I was done with her. Rage like fire consumed me and radiated around me. No, not because of how miserable and pitiful she looked but I was angry at the fact that she got the balls to cheat on me with some motherfucking old hag. I didn’t bother to cover her up properly, she was barely covered with her ripped undies and I didn’t care one bit. I either didn’t send for the doctor to come check on her. I was too enraged to even think straight. All that looped in my brain was Herman. I felt like killing the fucker over and over again. I went about venting on the few things in the room. Every object I touched went into abyss.I tucked out a stick of marijuana from the pack that was laid on the table. I had wanted to use it on Leia but I didn't. I drew out a
Alex Finally bursted into a random room and dropped me down. He made me sit on the kingsize bed. In frustration, he brushed his hair. “I tried to warn you Jericho but you didn’t give me any room. You let your anger get the best of you without trying to get to the roots of everything. Now everything is a mess. I doubt if Leia will ever forgive you” Alex said despondently. He was looking so sad but I felt more like shit. He sounded as soft as he could handle but his words still cut strangely in the worst way. “I’m feeling bad enough already, do not add to it, Alex.” My voice shook, rose and fell. I knew I fucked up big time. I’ve acted so much like a bitch. Hell, I hate myself right now. My head began to throb pretty hard and Alex left me to go get some aspirins.I reflected back on everything I’d done to Leia. Every little pain I inflicted on her drove my senses back to all the gibberish that bastard Herman had spewed“Argh!" I yelled at a full blast. I veered up and punched the ne
Leia's POVDisembarking from the plane wasn't as easy as usual. My muscles and joints were sore. I needed support. Right behind me was Jericho. He noticed my discomfort and rushed forward to help me. I gave him a demeaning look and his hand froze."Easy ma'am," the doctor called out and walked towards me. He offered a helping hand and helped me all the way. A white limousine was already on a standby at the pickup area. The guards opened the doors and we all took our seats. Jericho sat right beside me but I gave no damn.The engine roared to life and soon we were on the highway. Before and behind us were a fleet of cars filled with guards.I shuddered as we drove back into the Banda's territory. Repressed memories came alive and what I felt was raw hatred.We halted at one of the garages which was closest to my quarters. I dissuaded all of Jericho's care to help me out of the car, I made it out in my own efforts and marched forward with my destination in mind.I had just rounded the
I was going to ask the head maid but I stumbled on Alex on my way. He saw my bloody hand and his brows arched in shock. He gripped me by the shoulder impulsively and wheeled me around to face him. I threw an elbow aiming for his neck and he gave up. He raised his hands up and said, "easy! Easy, easy ma'am… it's me… Alex…. I just wanted to check your wounds, what the fuck happened!?" He yelled in concern.The concern in his voice melted my heart. I turned around and he saw the bloody hand. "Fuck!" He yelled and dragged me along with my good hand.We walked into some random room that had white paintings and decor. He shoveled out a green box from the cupboard which was a first aid kit. “Don’t worry, I can handle myself.” I said sternly and made to get the kit from him but he refused and willed me to a seat. I tried to object but he held me with his strong arms and sat me down. He beamed with a warm smile when I frowned at him. Sighing, I just relaxed and let him do it. Afterall I do
Jericho’s POV, After leaving the storage room where I had met Alex and Leia, I headed back to my office to continue with the paperwork but I couldn’t just focus. I don’t know why I felt so affected at the sight of Alex and Leia together, her choosing Alex over me. Maybe it’s the guilt that I owe her a huge debt to correct my grave mistake but the fact that she doesn’t want to spare me a chance was making me lose brain cells. I forced myself to concentrate on the paperwork and after a few hours I was done. I decided to man up and went to Leia. Just as I was at the door, I heard her voice saying. “Yes, just mobilize our men and have them track down motherfucking Herman. I’ll take care of the rest once he’s found,” venom resonated with her voice as she said. I barged into the room without knocking and thankfully the door wasn’t locked. I made sure to lock it though from the moment I stepped in. “You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already gotten rid of the bastard," I spat
