Leaving with the Zander's baby

The Zanders Empire sextuplets

Chapter 5

Aretha's POV 

My body was thrown across the room and I was sprawled on the ground, tears welled in my eyes and I blinked them back, hoping to stop them from streaming down my face. 

I wasn't here for tears, I wasn't here to put on a display of pity, I just needed him to claim it lest I'd be out in the streets before daybreak.

"Get out," he said, but I firmly refused, I shook my head in refusal, still sprawled on the ground.

" You think you've got the guts to face me right?" Is this a joke or something, get out young lady, before I lose the last bit of diplomacy within me.

" I cannot leave Mr Zanders, I don't need you to take responsibility for the child, I just need you to show up to my aunt lest I'll be out in the streets by tomorrow," I said coughing choked breaths from my lungs.

I couldn't fathom how dangerous the Zanders were but I knew they weren't a small family to deal with, he could take my life in the blink of an eye and no one would be able to do anything about it.

I staggered to my feet and stood nimbly in front of him. "Mr Zanders," I called.

" I'm fucking pregnant with your child, I screamed in his face, trembling with the need for him to believe I was telling the truth, I don't need your money, I just need for to be please show up to my house and tell them you did it, I begged, falling back in despair to my knees.

He closed his eyes as if considering my words, and opened them afterward a while.

" Xavier," he called and I saw a man enter the room with a gun in his hands. 

" We have Britney with us," the man said as he stood beside him. 

" Bring her in," he ordered.

A woman was dragged in and I recognized her almost immediately, she was the lady that came to the hotel with him, she was supposedly the one who drugged him, leading to what happened that night.

She fell to her feet and I saw that she was battered, bruised, and injured.

She was wearing a black shirt and a pale blue shirt, and her hair looked disheveled.

I took a glance at her, not feeling an ounce of pity for her, if she hadn't done what she had done, I wouldn't be here, on my knees begging this cruel monster to just show his face to my aunt.

" Mr Zanders," she pleaded scrambling over to his knees. 

" I'm sorry, I shouldn't have tried doing what I did, but I promise nothing if the sort is going to happen again," she pleaded holding onto the lengths of his trousers.

" Let go of me," he growled, kicking her backward and watching coldly as she sprouted out blood. 

Her face was getting devoid of color and the bone-crunching sound filled the room.

Xavier was reeling his feet into her hands, her screams filled the room.

" Who asked you to, Mr Zanders asked, tugging her chin upwards with the barrel of his gun.

" Tell me, he growled again, with Xavier exerting more force on her already distorted fingers.

" Fuck, she screamed in pain, scrunching her face in pain. " The Ryker's" she moaned in another round of pain when Xavier shifted his feet from the first hands to another set of fingers. 

" Mr. Ryker asked me to, she said in between stuttered breaths.

Xavier exerted more strength on her fingers and she screamed in more pain.

" Now tell me, young lady, do you still claim that I'm the father of the baby you're supposedly carrying," he asked turning back to look at me.

" You can have a DNA test done," I said with certainty, I wasn't willing to give up, it was my last resort to having a family.

" I know something else about the test results in your han....," the secretary was about to say when a bullet was plugged into her chest.

" Fuck," I screamed in shock, as I watched her body go numb and fall flat to the ground with a thud, I never imagined seeing the live action of unaliving a person.

A stash of cash was thrown in front of me, and he towered above me.

" Take her out of the mansion and for the sake of your family and the baby you're carrying, do not ever appear in front of me, if I see you, you'll end up the same way she did," he said motioning to the body of the secretary beside me.

" Mr Zanders, please," I begged and a gunshot flew beside my arms, a cut grazed my arms and my eyes grew in shock.

" I'm only letting you go because you saved me, I had a nice time with you and nothing else if you do not leave at this moment, I wouldn't mind killing you and towing your body away by myself," he threatened and I knew for a fact that it wasn't just a threat, he'd do it and there was nothing anyone could do about it.

" Make sure she takes the Money with her Xavier," he said and turned to walk away.

I blinked again, holding in the tears that threatened to fall from my face when he walked out on me. I was done for, the school, my aunt, my dreams, and my life, it was ruined, I sobbed silently to myself.

I stood up from the cold floor I knelt on as I was being led out of the room with Xavier.

" Take care of yourself young Lady, and listen to Mr Zanders's warning, do not appear in front of him ever again." He said as if he was giving me a friendly reminder.

The chauffeur appeared in front of me and after making sure my hand gripped the

box of cash in my hands, he let go and walked back into the house.
