Painful seduction

‘ What happened boss?’ Rowland yelled as he got closer.

‘ Get the car quickly and follow that vehicle!’ he ordered as he ran after the vehicle not minding he was chasing a vehicle with high speed on foot.

As he ran, he felt sorry for playing a prank on her . He probably would have thought of how she would have felt seeing him being so close with her best friend.

The car stopped right in front as he entered. Panting heavily that he couldn’t give orders but they knew what he wanted and off the car went.

Going above speed limits .

‘ What happened Boss?’ Rowland asked even though he knew the answer he would get.

‘ No time for questions, I just need you to follow that van. Rhea is in the there.’ he ordered as he threw punches at the windows not bothering if it shattered into pieces.

‘Rhea is in there? The driver of that van is one of Damien’s men.’

He stopped throwing punches as he looked at him surprised.

‘ Why didn’t you tell me Damien was around?’ he yelled, holding his collar but released him, apologizing there after.

‘ I realized late. I never knew what he was up to and then he acted like a normal guy.

‘ I wonder what Damien wants with Rhea. He dares not hurt her.’ he bit his knuckles as he tried hard to fight the burning rage he felt.

‘ Boss, he’s heading for the mountains. We just have crossroads and they are very dangerous.’ the masked man, who was the driver, explained.

‘ Mountains? What does he want in the mountains?’ he asked no one in particular.

His phone rings . He looks at the caller ID. It’s Damien.

His rage increases as he feels like smashing the phone but that would be stupid. Thinking about Rhea’s State he answered immediately, yelling so hard without giving him an opportunity to speak.

‘ Remember I have your Woman, you really don’t want her to pay for your sins.’ the caller had interrupted his loud agitations.

He stopped as fear and hatred gripped his heart.

If only he had a gun. He would have pointed it right at Damien’s forehead, he thought, cursing slowly.

‘ This is between you and me. I want you to keep Rhea out of this.’ He sounded calm, and desperate.

‘ That’s so sweet, who would have thought my own brother would turn out so nice? ‘

‘ Stop this Damien. Leave the lady out of this. ‘

‘ You know what Dementrio? I feel pained. You had a pretty girlfriend and you didn’t bother to show her to me?’

‘ Am sorry, let her go.’ he begged.

‘ No, it’s too late to apologize. I want to make her pay for your sins. She’s pretty you know, I really want to know those emotions you felt when you guys were intimate.’ he grinned as he laughed devilish over the phone.

Dementrio grew angry at the thought of him having her.

‘Don’t you dare touch her, I won’t spare you Damien.’

‘ You want to keep her safe right? Then turn around and drive back home. Don’t dare follow my driver. If you do so, expect to see me getting intimate with your girlfriend and it will be recorded.’

The call went off, making Demetrio rent in frustration and anger.

‘ What do we do now?’ the masked man asked as he slowed down the car.

They all heard the threat as the call was on speaker.

‘ What should I do, Rowland?’ he asked, looking helpless.

‘ Follow your heart Demetrio. You are a tough guy.’

‘ Turn the car.’ He ordered. ‘ We are going back to the coffee shop.’

( A warehouse)

The huge man carried her on his shoulders as both her hands and legs were tied up.

She was blindfolded and couldn’t see the environment but she needed no one to tell her it was a construction site .

The smell of dust choked her as she sneezed into his jacket.

‘ Hey, this jacket costs a fortune and it’s my favorite.’ he said.

She mumbled some words as her lips were sealed by a glue paper.

The journey wasn’t as short as she thought, the man was climbing a fleet of steps in a rush making her hit her head on the hard jacket. She could swear she was going to get a headache after settling.

‘ Enjoy your new home.’ he fling her to one corner as she hit her nose on the wall making her bleed.

He moved towards her as he removed the cloth covering her eyes without bothering to remove the glue paper.

‘ You took a long time to bring her.’ a voice said from the entrance door.

He was compact, having no special attributes. His black soft hair was half covered by the black hunting cap he wore as his thoughtful dark brown eyes made her feel he was kind hearted. His lips were cracked and looked swollen like it was bitten by a bee. He wore a black cover all rolled up to the sleeves making her think he was a construction worker. She looked closely at his hands which were uncovered. On his hand just below his wrist was the same tattoo the other guy had. It was a scorpion.

‘ Her boyfriend caused a lot of trouble.’ the other guy replied with hands over his eyes. He looked like a failed soldier.

‘ So what happened?’

‘ The boss took care of him.’ he said as he tore off a part of the long sleeve shirt he was wearing to cover up his knuckles which were bleeding.

‘ What happened to you man?’

‘ The girl is an animal, she bit me so hard tearing my flesh.’ he answered, rolling up the wounded fist.

The guy with the hunter’s cap laughed as he got closer to her, she glared hard at him which left him startled.

Footsteps were heard as they all turned to the direction of the sound.

He looked really handsome as his broad shoulders spoke of strength and power which was the dream of every lady, He had straight eyebrows and an imposing Romanesque nose and was adored by his Teutonic-gold hair which was neat and flowing. He walked with a tiger-like tread as his nomad-blue eyes twinkled to grace his footsteps. His fierce personality and bass voice were a big part of his ambitious character. He possessed power as he walked with purpose and authority.

All these features and many more attributes were a description to Damien as he walked into the room wearing a grey suit and leather shoes.

Rhea opened her mouth in shock as she watched him take steps towards her.

Her heart beat increased as he drew closer making her pant heavily as she struggled not to faint.

A phone rang . It’s Nelly’s phone.

She checked the caller, it was from an unknown number.

She wanted to decline but made up her mind to answer it.

‘ Hello Nelly.’ the caller said as soon as the call was answered.

She freezed, her heart skipped making it loose count of beat.

She brought the phone to her face as she rechecked the caller.

It had no name on it but then the voice sounded familiar. It just couldn’t be a coincidence.

She placed the phone back so she could hear.

‘ Who are you?’ she managed to fumble words as her heartbeat increased.

‘ You don’t remember?’His words were soft in the ear as he spoke in a whisper making her feel it wasn’t just her imagination. It was really him. She counted each breath she took as she waited for him to reveal himself.

‘ It’s Axl…’ those were the words she had wanted to hear but it sounded like electrifying sounds to get an ear drum making her freeze in astonishment.

‘ Why did you call? What do you want now?’ She asked numerous questions.

She felt total rage and anger towards him, anger of dumping her and the rage of being a pawn at his father’s game.

‘ Calm down, Nelly we could sort this out.’ he said in a whisper as he breathed.

‘ Calm down? You’re asking me to calm down. Tell me what you want or else I smash the phone.’ she threatened as she felt every word she said.

‘ I just want to say i’m sorry…for mum’s death.’

‘ Okay noted.’ she hung the call making the line go dead.

‘ Who was that?’

She turned at the direction of the voice knowing it was Cathy.

‘ The last person I least expected. It was Axl, your husband.’

She was taken aback, as she stared at her.

‘ What did he say?’

‘ He said he was sorry for my mum’s death.’

‘ Wow, that was nice of him. He stalks you so much that he was able to know when aunt died ‘ she replied in a sneer.

She turned sharply to look at Cathy as the reality of everything dawned on her.

Her mum only died an hour ago, how did Axl know when she and Cathy are the only ones who knew about the death.

Was he involved or did he plan the poison attack on her mother?

‘ Nobody knows about my mum’s death, so how does Axl know?’ she asked.
