Chapter 14

NICOLE’S POV

I continued to walk with tears brimming in my eyes. Alexander was really a son of a bitch. He didn’t even stop me or come after me. That only meant all the dinner thingy was fake.

As i went on with walking, out of the blue, the van came to a halt in front of me and that’s when my hands began to shake with nerves. I was always confident – I was always in control but this, this was absolutely terrifying. It was already late in the night.

Before I could even run, two masked guys all of the suden grabbed me and threw me in the van. “She is the one.”

I heard one say. Fear immediately set in and I couldn’t shout because one of men had his gloved hands on my mouth, silencing my cries. This was all Alexander’s fault.

I couldn’t do anything as the driver drove the van at a pretty good speed. After some time they arrived , the door slid open and one of the masked guy grabbed onto my forearm, dragging me out the van and onto the gravel.

The ground crunched underneath my heels as my head spun around, taking a good look. I could see the whole city from where we stood.

It was dark but there were lights surrounding the gigantic house enough for me to see the two men carrying large guns walking around the perimeter.

“Don’t even think about running unless you want to be chased by a Rottweiler.” The guy threatened lowering his head. He was so close I could smell his cologne and see the tattoo behind his ear. I squinted before my face dropped.

Very familiar tattoo, he's my fucking ex Herrera.

“I wasn’t going to.” I retorted but bit my tongue when he looked at me amused. I had to remind myself that they were currently in charge.

“Good.” He gave a cheeky smile and continued leading me to the front door.

This is very weird.

“Listen, whatever this is – I’m not selling my ass. You can rather just kill me.” I stated looking up at his jaw. No way in hell.

“Relax, sweetheart. We don’t do that over here, you’ll only sell your pussy.” He responded and my face turned completely horrified.

“Our boss just wants to meet you”, The other one murmured as we walked through the modern foyer and I knew straightaway that it wasn’t a home. It was empty, large and...just void.

There was hardly any furniture and an echo bounced off the white walls. If it wasn’t for the circumstances I would’ve been in awe.

I was led downstairs and into a concrete basement. It looked like an interrogation room that was recently cleaned spotless. The smell of bleach still lingered in the air and my nose scrunched up at the scent.

My head was starting to throb and I winced in pain. The entire day had been exhausting since the second I woke up ,the dinner with Alexander , everything and I was starting to feel the effects of it.

I should be at home sipping on my wine in my room but now here I was kidnapped.

The door opened but I kept my head down, willing the ache to stop.

“Huh! You finally brought this bitch”, A very familiar voice growled out and a cold shiver travelled through me. My entire body stilled and goose bumps formed on my skin. I know that voice. I sat down on that voice.

I have now resorted to manual breathing.

“He’s .....”

Fuck! I stopped thinking when I heard footsteps approach me.

“Look at me bitch.”

My eyes raised up and the moment they fall on him, I froze in motion. He was the guy, ..... was John, the bastard I was supposed to give a lap dance then instead gave it to Alexander.

Currently he was staring right back at me with the angriest glare.

My heart was throbbing in my chest as I received flashbacks from that night, I was supposed to give him a lap dance. I was glad that I instead gave it to Alexander.

This bastard looked fucking terrible.

“Better not be what the fuck I think it is.” I said, crossing my arms and looking at him sceptically.

“Yeah, I'm the one you had to seduce”, He smirked before stepping away and picking up the gun that was on the table. I watched him curiously as he held it in both hands, examining it.

“Wow! I now see the reason why my wife hired you to seduce me.”

He moved closer, achingly slow until his hand suddenly stretched out and firmly wrapped around my waist. I stumbled against his chest, nearly tripping over my own feet but he held me steady.

“What is it? Why have you kidnapped me?” I asked.

“I now want you to work for me and you are sworn to silence. You cannot speak a word of this to anyone. You die before you snitch.” He responded before the tip of something hard was pressed against the middle of my stomach. I looked down at the gun and my mouth dropped.

“Are you ready to work for me?”, He stared at me expectantly waiting for an answer.

“You’re going to fucking shoot me if I dont?” I asked in disbelief trying to step away but he gave me a look that said not to try him.

“I might. I might not.” He said tilting his head to the side innocently. My eyes turned into slits as I glared at him. I could see that he was testing me –

“Do it.” I muttered through gritted teeth. I grabbed the barrel of the gun with my fist and brought it higher, right above my pounding heart. John’s hard expression wavered for a split second before it was replaced by something even more...devious.

“You are not afraid to die?” He asked softly. He started moving it upwards, at a snail’s pace until the cold tip stopped just below my chin.

The gun was now pointed upwards – ready to blow my head off within a second. I stood my ground, looking right back at him.

“You wouldn’t.” I said confidently.

He raised a perfect brow, pressing it further against my skin until it almost hurt. “What makes you think that?”

“Because I heard your conversation with Alexander”, I smirked.

“Huh! Good that you know. I want you to make him sign the contract or else I will post your nudes on social media.“

When he talked about the nudes, I froze.

I couldn't do anything but agree.
