Chapter 28
“What! But you just-” Why would he want her? Was she not enough? She felt so jealous.
“Do you want the role or not? I’ll give you the female lead role” he promised.
Her eyes widened, “I will do it!”
She began to think of ways to get Valerie. They were at odds, so she definitely couldn’t do it. She had to find someone. But she knew no one here. However, luck was on her side as she saw a waitress. She explained what she wanted her to do. As expected, the girl refused.
“Then I will have to report to your boss that I saw you making out with someone while on duty. I have evidence on my phone” The girl paled in fear. Samantha made to leave. Earlier, she had stumbled on a steamy scene and had seen the girl’s face clearly. The evidence part was a total lie, but it worked.
“Please wait. I…. What should I do?”
Samantha smiled triumphantly.
Valerie brought the glass close to her mouth, as she took a sip. The girl walked up to her.
“Hello ma’am”
“Hello. How may I help you?” She was in a waitress uniform, but she wasn’t carrying a tray, so she wasn’t here to fill her glass.
“The man you came with wants to see you in room 505”
“Boss?”
She nodded vigorously, the guilt was eating her up. She didn’t know what the lady was up to, but it definitely wasn’t good.
“Alright. Thanks” she walked away. Valerie drank the last of her glass and walked to the elevator. After searching for a whole five minutes, she finally found the cabin. She knocked twice. No answer. She turned the knob, and it opened. She walked into an unwontedly dark room. It also had a very disgusting smell.
“Boss?” She didn’t know why, but she had a bad feeling. A very bad one. She had no idea the door had been locked by the one waiting for her. She heard the door click, and before she could turn to see what happened, a big body wrapped itself around her.
“Aaaaarrrrgh!” She screamed, trying to break free. “Who are you? Let go of me” she struggled and managed to free herself for a second. He made to grab her again, but she kicked him in the groin. She ran to the door, trying to open it. It was locked.
“It’s locked” he said, still holding his almost damaged member. “I won’t hold this against you, so be a good girl and come to daddy” Valerie shook her head in fear. She was small compared to this fat man.
“Stop playing hard to get. We both know you want this. Don’t worry. I will take care of you. I’ll get you as many roles as you want” He had mistaken her for an actress. He didn’t know her before, so he guessed she was a no-name actress. Who wouldn’t? She had the killer figure that even most A-list celebrities do not have.
She began to hit the door with her little fist. “Hey! Is anyone out there? Somebody help!” She continued screaming and suddenly, her legs left the floor as she felt herself being thrown on the bed. But she wasn’t ready to back down. She managed to push him away and reached for a porcelain cup on the bedside table.
“Stand back!” She tried to hold the article steadily. Her hands were shaking badly. What scared her more was that he continued to walk forward.
“I said back off, or I will hit you with this” he smiled.
“Surely you wouldn’t, baby” He advanced further. With much difficulty, Valerie threw it into the air like a missile, and it landed directly against his temple. The delicate china smashed into pieces.
Blood spurted from the slash, dripping down on his white shirt, as she watched in horror.
“Bitch” His nose flared, and he rushed towards her and threw her on the bed. Without waiting any further, he tore her clothes.

Jared had just left the meeting. There were CEOs who delayed him, trying to curry favor, but he excused himself and they dared not follow him.
His face darkened when he saw the spot he left her empty. He called the young man he assigned to watch over her. He hurried over.
“You called for me sir”
“Where is she?”
He immediately knew who ‘she’ was. But he was perplexed. “Isn’t she with you?”
Jared’s face became even more gloomy. Something was not right.
He grabbed his lapels, forcing him on tiptoe.
“What do you mean?”
His expression petrified the young man. He couldn’t afford to offend this man.
“Somebody came to inform her that… that you wanted to see her. I thought it was really you, so I didn’t bother anymore” he was about to pee in his pants.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Who and where?’ he grabbed the lapels tighter.
“A…a waitress and…and room 505” he struggled to say as he was short of breath. Jared was choking him.
He pushed him aside, and rushed to the elevator. He found the cabin in no time. The door gave way with just a kick, and he burst in like a ferocious beast. The scene he beheld made him want to kill someone. His gaze burnt with extreme rage. This was the second fucking time. The bastard was on top of her, about to kiss her. She was covered in his blood. He shoved Derrick, and pummeled him with blows and punches. Each one, stronger and harder than the last. The commotion was starting to attract attention, and the organizers were immediately informed. He stopped and covered her with his coat and body.
“Get him out of here” his voice held a dangerousness that shook everyone.
“Yes…. yes sir” the man was whisked away amidst loud cries of pain.
“Everybody, out!” The space was cleared up and everywhere was silent again.
“Take me out of this room, please” she sounded shaken. He carried her princess style to his suite, on the top deck.
He settled her on the sofa. “How do you feel now?”
She shook her head, not willing to speak.
“I’m sorry” she whispered, almost soundlessly. Her vision was blurred with tears as she recollected what happened. He was just this close to raping her. The pungent stench of his blood filled her with disgust as her insides churned.
Jared exhaled, smiling indulgently.
“You are such a trouble magnet. It’s okay, kitten” she stopped crying for a second when she heard him.
“What did you just call me?”
“Kitten. Is there a problem?”
“No, it’s just that….. never mind”
Somehow, being called kitten felt so familiar to her, like she had been called that in the past. A fragment of what looked like a memory flashed past her eyes. She tried to remember it, but nothing was forthcoming. Only pain. The more she tried to think deep, the more her head felt heavy. She painfully held her head, attempting to minimize the splitting headache she felt.
“Argh”
“Is something wrong?” Jared held her worriedly.
“It…. hurts” she said before passing out.
“Kitten! Valerie!” He shook her limp body. He carried her and laid her flat on the soft bed. For the first time in years, something shook his cold heart. He thought of calling Blake, his friend and doctor, but he definitely couldn’t get to Mexico in minutes. He snatched up the telephone.
“I want a doctor in my suite ASAP!” He slammed it back down and held her hand. He was so nervous. He had no idea what triggered here. Kitten? Didn’t she like the name? The doorbell rang.
“Are you the doctor?” He questioned the middle-aged man curtly. He nodded. He made way and the man came in.
“She suddenly fainted. Find out what is going on”
He checked her, obviously agitated by the way Jared watched his every move with a hard gaze.
“She’s just unconscious. You don’t have to worry. She will wake up soon. She just fainted from a strain in her brain”
His brows crease.
“No prescription?”
“No sir” Jared’s lips thinned.
“You may leave” he bowed his head and left.
He dialed Will’s number. He picked up promptly.
“Boss”
“I want Starlight Entertainment gone” he said.
“Okay boss” he didn’t dare ask why. Jared ended the call.
Luckily, there was nothing wrong. The last time he felt so nervous was when he received the news of Cheryl’s death.
