"Stay down lady! I will put a few bullets through your brains if you do not stay the hell down"!
The man was fuming. Sweat trickled down his burrows. Amanda was resistant and would not allow herself to be held hostage in the vehicle. She kept pushing and tossing herself over and again, twisting and twirling.
"Let me go! I don't know you. I have no business with you". Hot tears trickled down her swollen cheeks. The men holding her in the car had smacked her face countless times and it was swollen and reddish. She was dealing with pain.
"Stuff a cloth into her mouth "one of the men suggested.
"I need to tie her hands first. She is such a trouble breed"the one holding her down replied.
Amanda squeezed her hands and wrists while they tried to put a cord around them.
"Stop! Stop it! She yelled. "Who do you work for"? She asked with a panic-stricken voice.
The man on the wheels looked at her through the rear mirror. She could recognize him. He was Wolf's driver.
At that moment, she knew who was after her; the man whose calls she had kept on busy for some hours. The same man she was meant to be with before she was whisked away by Brent.
"You work for Wolf? Why is he doing this"?
"Shut the fuck up lady!. You will have your questions answered in a short while. Do not get ahead of yourself". His voice sent fear down her spine and she shivered.
Amanda knew from the moment she was nabbed and dragged into the vehicle that it would not end nicely. She was already indebted to too many gang members and now Wolf was considering her an enemy for him to ask for her to be abducted.
Music blasted in the car as the driver drove recklessly, in a bid to get to their location within the shortest possible time before total dawn. The windows were wound up, she was blindfolded and all she could see was darkness.
The car reeked of a terrible stench, something rotten perhaps. She hoped it was not some dead human in the trunk. These were deadly men.
"You can at least untie my eyes. I promise to keep calm. The suspense is killing me___ " her words were shortened by her sobs.
Cad, the driver, spoke in a language that seemed like French. Whatever he said caused the mean one who put the blindfold on her to untie it. She gasped for air and let out a long sigh of relief; because she was now able to look her kidnappers in the eye. Yet, her heart palpitations could not stop.
***********************************
"Have you reached the QA Team"? The man called Wolf asked his right-hand man.
"Yes, boss. They have the lady".
"Good". His face curled up in a leer as he looked up at his right-hand man, Jack.
"The bitch thought she could get ahead of me. She always thinks herself too indispensable". He clamped his hands together in a fist.
"I told you, boss, Amanda cannot be trusted. She has got her eyes on a lot of prices and she feeds from too many pots".
Wolf smiled wickedly and rose to his feet, and in gentle calculated strides, he walked to the window.
"Pots that I provide... She is too little to mess things up for me. Since she already followed the target home, she would have to continue the game. I know at this point, she wants a breath of fresh air but she will dive deep down into this ocean and I will make sure she gets drowned". He was fuming as he spoke.
"Should we take her out, Boss? We could hire someone else to do the Billionaire's work. There's a long list ready to take over from her spot ".
"Hmmm______. I cannot kill her and I cannot let her go. She is a treasure. If I did that, I would be making it too easy for her dead father, Pete. My vengeance must be felt. For tonight, I will punish her and then give her reasons to understand she is indeed my slave forever, even if I were Dead"!
A car pulled up in the driveway.
"Boss, they have arrived".
Wolf was standing, facing the window that overlooked the beach. He smiled at his right-hand man and motioned for him to bring them in.
The men brought in a distraught Amanda, with her hands firmly tied behind her and her lips stuffed with some dirty towel.
"Easy now_______be gentle with my bride," Wolf said with obvious sarcasm.
He walked up to her with gentle strides.
"A-M-A-N-D-A; you little wench. Did you think I would not find you" ?
He gripped her arm tightly causing her to yell out from the pain she felt.
"I told you I had a job for you today, where should you have been"?
She said nothing. He dragged the dirty towel out of her mouth and yelled at her to speak. She still kept silent, sobbing instead.
"Why are you pushing me to the edge? Why do you want to see the worst of me? Say something now, bitch!" His eyes blazed with fury. She muttered some incoherent speech.
"Speak now or I will burst your head open!" He shouted at her and raised his clenched fist to her face. He was becoming impatient.
His voice sent shivers down Amanda's spine, she shook with fear. She knew how dangerous Wolf was and she did not want to push her luck.
With a shaky voice, she burst out in tears, "I am sorry________i just was not ready for this. Please, Wolf, forgive me."
He scoffed at her.
"Not ready," you say. Hmmmm____ You owe me! he yelled "an inherited debt and all debt must be paid; little miss Carolina ", he ended his words with a burst of wicked laughter sending waves of fear to Amanda. "I must recover my money! You are the ticket to that recovery______".
"Wolf___please… I feel pain, my whole body hurts___", her voice cut off with sobs. She shook frantically.
"You followed the man home without my consent?
She nodded sharply.
"Did you feel pain while he worked your body"? She looked down and her voice was broken by her loud sobs.
"We did nothing", she muttered.
"Really? What a saint! A man took you home and did nothing with you"? He forcefully lifted her jaw to look into her eyes. He then sniffs her breath.
"You lying whore! You smell different. This isn't your scent. He touched you. How did he do it? He ran his hands roughly over her, they proceeded to tear her clothes, exposing her undies.
"I got you this bra set for a billion-dollar job and and dearie, where is the money he gave to you"?
She had kept the money hidden in her butt; to get her mother some more medications and now he wanted to take it away.
She sobbed even more, and frantically shook her head before saying ''Noo… he didn't give me money. He …He...couldn't even touch me for long".
"Amanda______? Wolf's voice this time was gentle and cunning. She could hear the danger in it. She knew he would switch it up on her if she did not tell the truth.
"How much"?
"I didn't count it. But it seems like a lot_____" she whispered, hoping he would let her go. His grip was becoming too tight and she writhed in pain.
"How did you know he was the designated target?
Her eyes widened with shock. She had no idea
"I did not know this... I just followed a random man home" she responded quickly, hoping he believes her truth.
"Did you know him before now"?
"Noooo..." She whispered
"So, you now prefer a random man to me. Not that I care". His men bursted into laughter at his caricature of her.
"Well___ if you had showed up when I called you, I could have considered your job tonight a legitimate one but you didn't. So, you won't get any pay". He turned to his right-hand man and his gang, "what do y'all think"?
They nodded in agreement to his unspoken words, they all understood what he meant.
"Strip her!he ordered. Amanda began to fidget. They would take all the money and she would get nothing. They stripped her of the remaining piece of clothing left; her undies and the money fell off to the ground. They laughed at her idiocy. She stood before them, her hands crouched over her breasts. She was swimming in a feeling of shame. Hot tears kept rushing down her cheeks.
Amanda nodded hesitantly and pulled away from his grip gently. The Billionaire deserved whatever he got, she thought. She was exhausted already.
Wolf took her silky hair in his hands and sniffed it and then drew her face to his and forced his lips on hers, kissing her brutally. He dragged her pants down and pulled her up with one arm. He pinned her to the wall at the rear end of the large room.
Amanda,who was now weakened by her sobs, allowed him to do what he wanted. She could not resist him anyway. Wolf placed motioned his men to hold her legs apart while she leaned on the wall. He then pulled down his shorts and exposed his manhood to Amanda. Her heartbeat rose in panic and she quickly shot her eyes.
He penetrated her with a forceful thrust and rode in and out of her like she was not human, ravaging her like his slave. Hot tears rushed down her cheeks. Her vagina was on fire. His painful thrusts sent shivers down her spine and she shook from the pain.
He brought his face close to hers again and took her lips in another round of a forceful kiss, thrusting his tongue in and out of her mouth while she gasped for breath. His manhood worked her fiercely, pounding her with his masculinity. He soon came to his point of ecstatic relief and pulled out of her hurriedly before his seed splashes into her.
His men let her legs go. Her wobbly legs could not carry her. She fell to the floor and curled up in that corner.
"I am your Lord forever, bitch" Wolf spat at her. "Do not ever fail on an agreement. The next time you ditch an instruction I give you will move in with me and your freedom would be completely stripped. Have I made myself clear?"
She nodded and he spat on her and strode towards the door, buckling up his pants as he did so.
"Clean yourself up and meet me downstairs. The boys won't have you for today. You have a bigger assignment ahead.
His eyes danced with wicked excitement as he spoke his next words.
"A marriage to the billionaire is your next assignment. With that, he strode out of the room leaving a dismayed Amanda alone, crouched up on the floor and thinking about her stinking life.
THIRD PERSON POV The clouds were dense and lightning kept flashing across the skylines. Amanda was shivering in the car as they drove back to the hotel where she was reportedly lodged. She did not want him to know that she was lodged in the same hotel where they just met, because it would seem as though she has been trailing him. So she lied about it.They were surrounded by an awkward silence, except for the breeze coming through the windows and the sound of the moving vehicle. Brent was exhausted and she was calm. They did not say much to each other.When they approached the hotel she claimed she was staying, Brent pulled up in fron of it."Can I have you phone contact?" He asked sluggishly.She took his phone and inputed her number and then she dialed herself before returning the phone to him."Do you need anything?" he asked casually.She needed money to jump into a taxi and go right back to her actual hotel but her pride would not let her so she shook her head and said " no, I
BRENT POV"Assistant Director?" I asked with my mouth agape. This woman was beginning to get on my nerves, truly. She was getting ahead of herself and I was becoming impatient. Her ego was sticking out on me like a sore thumb and it was sweeping off my patience because I was also full of ego and arrogance. Yet, I had to time down my anger."Don't you think you sound ridiculous to asking to be my Assistant Director?" I asked calmly, trying my best to maintain some level of sanity."Ridiculous? How, Mr. Brent? Am I not supposed to be your wife?" She asked with a smile that seemed to mock me. "If we have to play the act, they we should play our part well. This would make it even more convincing; the way I see it."On one hand, she was talking gibberish but on another, she had some valid points. However, I was not willing to take such a risk with a woman whose background was unknown to me."Miss Amanda, I understand that you are doing this for my interest but I cannot take such a risk. I
AMANDA (POV)Take it or leave it, the man was either crazy or plain stupid because once again, he played into my hands and I could not believe it."Marry me Amanda; I want to make you my wife."His eagerness, his pleas and the fervency of his request got me asking what he was rushing for. It was not as though I was not happy that he was asking, after all this was what Wolf sent me to achieve but the urgency was my fear."Of all the ladies that meet your class, your kind, the presentable socialite women on their high horses, why did it have to be me, Brent Kenilworth?"He was silent.He said absolutely nothing, totally ignoring my mockery of his speech. I wanted to be his nightmare, mocking him but I ended up being the mocked because he totally ignored my statement and moved on with his proposal."As my wife, you will get exotic vacations, beautiful dresses and jewelries and most of all, a monthly allowance of at least $20 000. How does that sound?"His arrogance almost peeled my skin
Pov: AMANDAWe sat by the same spot I had just been with Jake. Brent was different; calm and stern while Jake was jovial and lovable.I could also see pain in Brent's eyes but all those were not my concern. I could not bother myself with any of those details. I only needed to get my future arranged by playing my act of seduction properly till he gave in and began to desire marriage."How are you doing, Amanda"? He asked nonchalantly."I am fine, Mr Brent. Did not expect you to be here".I lied. I was here because I knew he would be here, I was here to play my cards."Same here"... He groaned, almost avoiding my eyes.He ordered drinks for us and we tried to rise past our last experience to make small conversations."Do you have anywhere you ought to be, cos I don't plan on letting you go, just yet".I smiled from the corners of my lips. Something about him was attractive, I could not figure that out yet."Nowhere yet", I gawked at him, "but you must remember I am quite pricey"."We ar
CHAPTER 16BRENTMy first night with her ended miserably; with her barging out of my house after cursing me out with foul language yet somehow, her petite image lived rent free in my head.From my little corner in the club, I could see her seated with a man whom she seemed like she was warming up to. Her slim figure was accentuated in the dress. Her lips glowed with her red lip gloss. Her shimmery dress resonated with the club lights. Her skin glow was too powerful.I struggled hard with my retentive ability to recall her name but my brain seemed squashed and dull. I stared at her beautiful frame and tried to make mind comparisons between her and Whitney.Whitney was largely blushed and chubby. Her rounded hips were my attraction and she is very brilliant too. Talking with her was also quite easy.But this lady… she is phenomenal.I absolutely fell for her the first time. The only thing was her belly bore a similarity with my dead fiancé's belly, hairy belly with a slightly folded nav
CHAPTER FIFTEEN"Mr Kenilworth I would suggest we slow down on the rate of Chemotherapy you are getting", the Doctor Wilson stated.Bradley's face dropped into a depression caused by the doctor's advice."Why is that, Doc"? He asked with pain in his eyes.Doctor Wilson let out his breath then said "because, at this point, it is becoming increasingly difficult for your body to handle the effects of the mechanical procedure. My thoughts on this would be that we just keep you alive for as long as your cells can go".Bradley's face looked colour washed, he was sad."Well, whatever decision you take regarding my health, right now, is good enough for me"."We would have to inform your family, then… at least, your wife_____""Not my wife, Doc; I cannot bear losing her to depression. She is only tough on the outside"."Hmm_____I see. Your son then. Someone is gonna have to sign some papers exempting us from the situation and showing that we had a mutual agreement".Bradley nodded.
