Justin was tied to a chair in the house on the west wing and his eyes were tied with a piece of cloth; he couldn't see where he was, he just heard footsteps in the room.
Suddenly, he heard the door open and someone walked in with almost silent steps; he felt the person draw closer to him till he was directly in front of him;
The person had said nothing; neither had the people in the room. Justin’s heart was drumming against his chest, his shirt was soaked in his own sweat and he feared for his life.
Liam Smith was not a person who showed mercy, and if he was the one if front of him, he was really dead meat.
Just when the thought came into his head, he felt the rag on his eyes being removed and a hard blow met his jaw, sending him falling backwards. He felt a metallic taste on his lips and he knew his jaw was broken;
Liam straightened his palms, trying to ease the pressure on them because of the punch;
''Give me one reason why I shouldn
Kate was locked in the basement for ten days;Nobody cared if she was pressed and needed to use the toilet; not to talk of the fact that she had not had a bath for over a week, and with the lack of ventilation in the room; Kate stank like septic tank.Every morning she would resume banging on the door. She knocked for hours until she was tired. This continued for four days, and suddenly she stopped.Everyone in the mansion was surprised when they heard nothing in the early hours of the morning on the fifth day. If not for the guards who had confirmed her alive when they went to give her breakfast, they would have thought she had committed suicide.She did not hit on the door anymore; neither did she make a sound; just eating when served until the tenth day.Milly came to the room as usual and ordered her out, but she did not budge; she remained in her spot, head in between her legs and in a scrunched up position.When Milly saw that she woul
In the afternoon, Kate walked upstairs; when she got to Liam’s room, she knocked lightly.Liam was sitting on the couch in the parlor working on his tablet when he heard a knock; he turned immediately to the door;''Come in.”Kate pushed open the door and stepped in, closing it after her. She had packed her hair up in a bun, so her face was clear to see.Liam felt her footsteps approaching, but his eyes remained glued to his tablet;''Mr. Smith, you sent for me. '' Kate said with an obedient voice, a little smile on her lips.Liam lifted his head up immediately to look at her a bit surprised.He had locked her up for ten days and he expected her to be rude, but here she was calm and collected, like an obedient child.Although she looked thinner, that was all; her face was clear, and her eyes bore no emotions, Liam gazed at her for a moment, trying to decrypt what she was feeling, but he couldn't tell, she looked so
Kate watched him for a split second, and then she stood up quietly from the sofa. Liam was shocked.Was she really going to strip? He asked himself, but he didn't interrupt her, he just watched her keenly.She held the hem of her dress and in an instant; she pulled it over her head;Liam was shocked to his spines. His heart skipped a beat.Did she just remove her clothes, without even thinking twice?The last time he asked her to strip, she had hesitated. Why was she so different now?He was so shocked that he could not even speak; when he had asked her to strip, he never thought she would do it, but she had surprised him; he had no intention of touching her, so when he saw that she had pulled off her dress, leaving her with only a pair of lingerie as the only clothing on her body, he opened his lips to tell her to stop, but just when the words were about leaving his lips, he suddenly froze.Kate held the hooks of her br
Kate closed the door quietly behind her; she waited a moment before she continued downstairs; she knew he wanted her to oppose or maybe cry like before but she was no longer that person who cried at the tiniest irk, he made sure of that. There was one way to tame a devil, and it was by denying him the satisfaction of seeing his prey in pain. And as far as she was concerned, Liam would never see her cry again. Never! After what happened in his room, she knew he was very mad and he would surely get back at her, but she was never going to let that happen. This was the first time she had defeated him, and she knew she hurt his ego and he would get back at her, but she would always be prepared for him. She would always be one step ahead; she would make sure of that. That night, after dinner, Kate searched her wardrobe for some good work clothes; she selected a white, long sleeved chiffon shirt, two piece set maroon blazer and a maroon high
Though they were full of questions, they still loved their life so they had to shut their curiosity for now.In the company no one dared come later than Liam, thus by the time he arrived, everyone was already in the company. Tony was going through some documents he would show to him when he heard some footsteps approach.He raised his eyes and when he saw his boss, he immediately greeted, but his greeting hinged on his throat as his eyes fell on the person behind him.Tony froze instantly;Was that a woman beside his boss?He raised his hands and wiped his eyes immediately to be sure he wasn't seeing things.Who is she?He was sure it wasn't a client because he arranged the meetings himself, so who was she?He was lost staring at both of them and he didn't hear when Liam ordered him to follow him into his office.Kate stared at tony, who had his mouth half open, she wondered if she had a stain on her face;“
When she saw that he would not say anything she stood up and walked back to the mini parlor and sat down. After about fifteen minutes, tony came back into the office with the photocopies.When she saw him, she stood up and walked back to the table.Liam handed one photocopy to Kate and kept the original and others to himself.“Tony, you'll take over the office of the CFO, I have already sent him a transfer letter to another branch earlier today but he'll work until the end of the week, so until then, you must coach her and teach her the basics of the job, understood?”Tony’s lips could not stop smiling. He had thought Liam was about to sack him, not knowing he was just promoting him! And to the office of the Chief Financial Officer, that was a dream come true.''Yes, boss! I'll do just that! Thank You, boss!”Another thing that made Tony so joyous was the fact that he was finally liberated from his demonic boss, who w
“We'll just look at it right?” Vera asked, and Kate nodded with a yes!''Alright, finish eating your food, and we'll go.” Vera was convinced by Kate.''No, I'm done eating; I'll just keep the plates in the kitchen.” Her eagerness to see the maze filled her up. She couldn't even eat again. Standing up, she took their plates and kept them in the kitchen.''Alright let's go.” She said to Vera as she stepped into the dining room and they both walked out of the house.''It's a little far from here and quiet. It kind of has a spooky feel, I don't like going there.” Vera explained, her face scrunched up in displeasure.''Oh my, I just love the sound of that!” Kate exclaimed excitedly; Vera turned to look at her;''What? ''''Yeah, I love that it gives off such creepy feeling, it sounds like a horror movie! I love horror movies, it's exciting!” Kate said as she rubs her hands in anticipati
After Liam had sent for Kate, Milly went to her room but did not find her; she asked a maid to go look for her around the estate but after ten minutes she returned saying she did not see her. She asked the workers if anyone had seen her, and they all reported negatively. After waiting a while, she sent a few more maids to go find her but they all returned saying that they didn't see her. The last option was to tell Liam that his wife had gone missing. Liam was quiet for a few seconds after Milly spoke; he turned to his clock and saw the time; it was thirty minutes past eight and his brows creased; ''Are you sure of what you are saying? '' He asked; there was no way she would get missing in the mansion, she could not have possibly run away. ''Yes boss, I've searched everywhere, she is nowhere to be found. '' Milly explained and Liam went quiet; ''Have you asked the guards if she left the estate? '' ''Yes, they said she d
