Chapter 123 Sign it and you will be fine
Arianna's POV
I coughed, pained and still lost because everything faded before me. She kept hitting me and I whimpered with so much pain that I felt I'd pass out.
"You think this is over? Huh! We let you guys have your lovey-dovey and striked at the perfect time, all the contracts you fucking made us loss, the embarrassment..."
She paused and then chuckled while wheezing out some air. Certainly, she was mad that everything she works for was drifting away from her.
However, they still had my inheritance to fall back on, the biggest of them all. Now this makes sense, they needed the password to it.
My body was weak as I felt something drooling from my head. It was my blood and she caused me to bleed. Shit!
"You deserve it!" I responded with a loud chuckle too sensing how hurt she was, venting her anger on me. It pains me that she was doing anything she wants with me.
"I guess this is a woman-woman situation huh!" She jeered as one of the men brought a paper, she snatched it and shove it in my face.
"You'd sign this!" She said straightforward and I sigh, spit out blood from my mouth.
It disgust her.
"I won't, ravyen would come find me, and buckle up for the worst" i argued and she ducked her at me.
"Oh I'm shaking" she played and then burst into laughter, telling me that I was kidding and still depend on ravyen.
"Let's talk to him!" She mocked and suddenly dialed his contact. I intended to know how she got it but I was certain the maid she works with sent her.
At first no reply but she kept calling and I pant and when he finally received the call, I screamed his name before she responded in cynical gesture to him.
When she terminated the call, she shifted her face to me and then said;
"Let's get back in business!"
I felt pains around my bowel, tensed and startled. She had no mercy, hitting hard on me.
"I won't!" I cried as she pressured me to sign the paper. I was exhausted and I guess she was too as she moved backward, rolled her eyes around and giggled.
"She's such a hardnut!" She snapped blowing out air and placing her hands on her waist.
"Fine then, you'd lose your life and unborn child for a property? Ravyen would never find you!" Elena mused. I didn't know what strength I was mustering up but I managed to raise my head and look at her in the eyes.
Blood drips inside my eyes as I was weeping and shivering. The rope tied on me was aching and I felt stucked on the chair.
She was almost hitting me again and I sway my face around to hold back but then, I heard his voice.
"Stop Elena! You're being too hard on her!"
I blinked my eyes and there I saw him, looking worried and anxious as he drew closer to me. He was gasping and seems to be returning from somewhere.
He had even wore the blazers I got for him during our third year anniversary. I couldn't trust this man. He appeared out of the blue, suddenly showing concern which is absurd.
"Ivan, she's a bitch..."
"Don't you dare call her that!" He barks at her and bewilderment covered her. She stepped back as it felt as though Ivan almost wanted to hit her.
He was defending me and I couldn't watch because I was whined, feeble and look like a ghost.
My face was bead with sweat, blood and tears
"I'm so sorry Arianna, I meant no pressure or harm, Elena could be crazy sometimes" he apologized, his tone, low and passionate as he drew closer to me squat low to my position and raised my jaw.
"You still have those beautiful eyes" he complimented with a sad smile and I shoved my face away from him, feeling nausea and irritated.
He swallowed hard and then said;
"It's simple Arianna, you know I really don't want to hurt you, I'd let you go, save your baby and sign it" he stated with a serious gaze at me that i heaved a sigh and inhaled softly.
"Save the poor baby, and I promise to let you go" elena assured. I didn't know if to trust her but then, she could be a mother and know what it is to be one.
I couldn't trust her but I trusted Ivan, I could still see that care in his eyes. He parted my bloody hair and inserted it in my ears.
"Sign it and you'd be fine"
It's okay, ravyen would be here and they wouldn't leave here with the paper.
"Untie me" I whispered but Elena shook her head and said it was a bad idea.
Ivan ordered one of the men to unite me and as he did that quickly, I rubbed my wrist and sniffed.
Elena brought the paper before me and beckoned on me to sign it. They were smart to use my unborn child's life. I was under duress, what difference does it make?
Wouldn't they still kill me if I didn't sign the paper?
Ivan was behind me, stroking my back as he ordered for meals to be brought to me. My hands were trembling as I sniffed, hesitating to sign it.
I shut my eyes and signed it, totally hating myself that I did that.
Ivan quickly called a driver to come take me home. At least he kept to his promise. Elena had a frown as she despises me so much for making Ivan this fragile with me.
The ropes on my legs were loose and Ivan assisted me to rise up. I almost fell but then I needed to go home.
I shuddered his hands away, I didn't want him to touch me because I loathe him. Elena rolled her eyes with a disdainfully look at.
I could barely move but I muttered up courage. The four bouncers on my path cleared for me to pass through them. I was dragging my legs, my whole body swollen and the tears that once held me was gone.
"The driver's downstairs" Ivan said but I ignored him. I dialed Ravyen's contact while trying to be fast. I was out of the site and that was a relief. I paced down the long, steepy stairs, maintaining my steps not to trip.
"Hello?" I responded in tears and I heard his but before I could say anything further, I heard a clomp behind me.
