Chapter ten

"I can deal with this for you but then you have to make a deal with me." 

    I hesitated, knowing I wouldn't like whatever deal he wanted to offer but right now he had the upper hand, so I had to agree to whatever he wanted . 

  "Okay. I agree,"I said through gritted teeth.

Slowly, Rain let go of me, gesturing toward the bathroom as he made his way to the door. I gave him a quick glance before running into the bathroom. Soon I heard the door open and Alex's voice came right after. "Ah Mr.Blackwell, it's you." 

  RAIN 

  I scanned the man before me as though he was mere dirt under my shoes. Alexander Greyford Ayanna's husband. He was nothing but a worthless piece of trash who didn't know how to value the precious woman he had. 

  Ayanna was too good for him, he didn't deserve her. Not like I did either_ but I was going to have her anyway.

  "Mr. Blackwell someone told me my wife is here. 

  The piece of shit dared to even be bold and look offended like he isn't doing worst to Ayanna. 

  "Oh is that so, why don't you come inside and see if I'm having an affair with your wife because you're clearly insinuating that with the way you spoke," I narrowed my brow dangerously as I stared down at him, giving him a disdainful look.

  "N...no Mr. Blackwell, that's not what I meant. I would never accuse you of such atrocity."

  "Of course you wouldn't," I retorted harshly. "You aren't man enough."

  He looked vexed by my words but didn't dare to counter me. However the woman beside him Kate Williams who I hadn't even bother to spare a glance before seem to have more balls or perhaps she had that perception that I wouldn't hurt her because she was a woman.

  "Mr Blackwell you should let us look inside the room," she demanded arrogantly stepping forward.

 I didn't hurt women, she on the other hand was an exception because she not only hurt Ayanna, she was a threat too and I'd get rid of who ever poses a threat to my woman regardless of who it was. 

 "Try and see if you walk out alive," I said glaring down at her. How could she even compare to Ayanna? She greatly paled in comparison. She was nothing.

Alexander Greyford was certainly a blind man but I had to thank him, I wouldn't have Ayanna if it weren't for him.

"Mr.Blackwell you're being unreasonable," Kate Williams muttered and I scoffed my expression turning colder. This woman had a death wish and i'd happily grant it.

Alexander spoke before I uttered my next words.

"Forgive her Mr.Blackwell she didn't mean to offend you. We'll take our leave now and leave you to rest."

I watched their retreating figure with a sinister thought in mind. Kate Williams wasn't going free for talking to me like that.

 With that in mind, I slammed the door after they disappeared from sight, calling out to Ayanna in the most soothing voice I could muster.

  The bathroom door swung open after few minutes, Ayanna walked out of the bathroom with a scowl on her angelic face, maintaining a certain distance from me.

 "You call that handing things. You just fueled the fire instead of quelling it," she propped one hand on her waist as she spoke, pointing the other at me.

  If it were others pointing at me and speaking to me in that manner I wouldn't have spared them, but Ayanna, she could scold me all she wants.  

  "Atleast he left."

  "Oh you idiot," she cursed, pacing back and forth and I lowered myself onto the seat beside the bed, watching her with deep interest and a smile on my face. 

  God, I missed this woman. Why did I even think I'd be able to stay away from her? I'd initially walked away after she abandoned me, though I was heart broken. I agreed to Father's request on going to France for a year on a business trip, thinking that I'd forget her eventually. I worked myself endlessly with very little rest because everytime I was idle she was all I could think of. 

 I was miserable. Ayanna had turned my life upsidedown in just one month. Though I was bound to get ruined by her, afterall I'd being infatuated by her for a long time, only I hadn't made a move on her because she was married. But then that night she approached me, offering something so forbidden yet I couldn't resist. 

    In the one year I was away, I kept hoping she'd miss me too. She'd yearn for me the way I yearn for her. She'll realize she made a mistake by ending things with me and look for me_ call me. But nothing happened. Each time I checked on her she was always with that so called husband of hers looking happy, like her marriage to that bastard wasn't shit. 

I was slowly losing my mind.

 Why did that bastard get to have her while I couldn't? Why was he the one married to her? And why was she still with him even though he's cheating on her with her cousin?

 I pondered over it over and over again. Then I decided I had to end my misery. I had to have her and I was going to do whatever it takes, even if it meant ruining Alexander Greyford to the extent where he'd no longer be able to come close to her or even exist in her world. 

 So far, I had to commend him for covering his tracks well. But surely he was going to slip off. Like he did and Ayanna caught him cheating.

  "What are you smiling about?"Ayanna pulled me out of my thoughts. "Is this funny to you?" She'd stopped pacing about this time placing both hands on her waist with a scowl still on her face.

"I'm just overwhelmed with joy, having you here with me. I can't stop myself from smiling." 

She paused for a second, looking at me intently then she heaved a sigh.

"I need to leave, I can't have Alex and Kate tattling nonsense to Father." 

She headed for the door in a haste but I was quick too, drawing her into my arms in a tight embrace before leaning down to place a kiss on her lips. 

"I'm going to make you mine forever. No force on earth can stop me."
