Chapter 13: The Threat

Alan's POV

One of these men was pointing a gun to her sullen stomach. Bewilderment flushes inside me as I shook my head.

"I warned you both, I hate it when my orders are defiled!" My father back and I fell on my knees weak and shattered.

It felt like a heavy weight was on my shoulder.

My eyes stared blankly and I heard gunshot from the screen. Peris shut his eyes, screaming and I knew it was it.

They had shot her.

Then the camera moved on to an old woman, his mother!

I crawl towards where he was standing and then held his leg.

"Please, I beg you... don't hurt his feelings anymore, I promise, i swear it down, i would never cross path with him again"

He stopped clicking on the lighter and then squat to my height.

He stretched his hand above me and then bringing that hand below, I figured out he had a paper on it.

"I don't trust you, you've said it a hundred times, sign this..."

I let go of his leg and wiped my tears, sniffing and trembling while I took the paper from him.

He needn't explain because I knew the terms attached to this was deadly. If I were ever seen around peris again, he'd eliminate everyone including him.

I shifted my gaze to the screen and realized peris head was low as he wasn't moving either.

He must have collapsed. I was puzzled how my father knew where we were. Fuck! I can't run away from him.

He owns everywhere and no one hides from him. He was a tyrant consumed by his selfishness.

I quickly signed the contract without a second thought and stood up, to face the screen properly but it had black out.

"I need to make sure you let him go!" I barked at his face. He let out a smirk and then began to walk towards the door.

I followed him with a furious gaze at him. I couldn't trust my father, especially when he had something in mind to do.

"Tell me you'd free him!" I yelled attempting to hold him back but I felt a sharp pain around my neck.

My feet stuttered as my eyes suddenly felt dizzy. I couldn't see clearly and in a few seconds, I collapsed.

***

Spurring my eyes opened after a bad nightmare, I realized I was in a car which had come to a halt at a large mansion.

It felt familiar and depressing. All I thought of was the state of peris.

My body aches as I stride my eyes towards the rare mirror. There was no one in the car.

I felt tight and lowering my eyes, I was in a suit and tied to the seat with a seatbelt.

On my thighs sat bundles of roses. I pant heavily, squinting my eyes through the tilt window.

Hastily, I took it out and almost immediately, someone from outside opened the door.

I stride outside and the first person I saw was her. My bride...wife.

She was running out of the mansion, with spread arms. She felt invisible to me.

The dull light of the sun somehow manages to kindle my senses in a way I had never seen or felt before.

Everything felt like it came to a standstill and the effect of the light made the scene look like one in a painting.

However, it was real when she embraced him with an unwaivering warmth and affection.

I felt her body enveloped mine as she heaved a sigh. The roses in my hand fell as I tried to terminate the hug.

How could she be so excited when I just lost a lover?

I felt itches around me, with her this close, I only see her as an enemy.

Swiftly, I shoved her aside and stride my eyes around.

"Alan, I thought I'd never see you again!" She cried as her face turned red, looking so sad and dispirited.

I gave her no response and just walked pass her to the mansion. The mansion's grand entrance with its sweeping staircase, high ceilings, and intricate details gave a sense of majesty and splendor that was fit for royalty.

I didn't want to see her facial expression but I heard her footsteps behind me.

She was fast, swirl her body to face me with a hearty smile and then panting softly.

Her glassy eyes stared at me, serious yet attractive. Her hands were placed on her slender body as she blew out air from her lips.

I rubbed my forehead. I needed to get to peris not get lectured by this girl. I'd never be the husband she wants.

Ironically, my father was married to her not me. I just didn't want to accept her.

"Your dad told me you were missing home and..."

"Hey girl, I'm fucking tired, I need rest" I snapped and she grimanced at me.

A frown was suspended on her face as she scoffed at me.

"What? Are you gonna ditch me now or something, do you have a lover?" She pressed on.

I guess this girl wouldn't give up. She wants to learn everything about me and I wouldn't give her that attention she seeks.

"Don't worry, you'd forget about her when we have sex together"

I flinched at that word. It's not her but a he. She was pissing me off like my dad.

I was almost taking a step further when she quickly opened her bath robe. Fuck, she was naked.

Her toned skin glitters under florescent lights. Her pulp breast points at me. She had placed her palm on her shaved pussy.

She looked that a goddess in this shape and could be a sexy nude model.

She purposely rubbed her fingers around clitoris and then suck her breath.

She posed her hips and kept a lousy gaze at me. She was standing on her toes.

I could tell she wanted me to look at her pussy and I could see her wetness, streaming down her left thigh.

Her skin quivers and it was obvious she was horny. Now I realize we were all alone in this place and she was prepared to change my heart with just...sex.
