Chapter 18
|| VALERIA ADDAMS's POV ||

" Why are you doing this to me??"

I whispered, tears of betrayal forming in my eyes. After a long time, I really thought that someone actually had good intentions for me. But it was all proven a lie when Alex appeared on the spot, fully dressed like a villain. He had never left the town. He wanted to trap me in his evil game.

Alex stopped, upon hearing me. His eyes rested on me so cold and emotionless. I didn't see the sympathy in his eyes that he showed me in his office. He looked nothing less than a cold blooded monster. He sneered at me, growling,
" You think that I don't know, you are married to Gideon Vitalies? I have known it from the beginning. That's why, you were there in my office, Sweetheart. Or else.. what do you think that I gave you the job?"

It broke my heart to know that he did everything for revenge. I thought that I was finally capable but it seems like, everyone just wanted to use me for their own sick game. Alex continued, hatred lacing out of his voice,
" He never showed pity on me. I requested him to drop a deal but he turned his back on me just because he didn't like my approach. Tell me, why should I always suffer for him, Valeria? Even in high school days, everyone favoured me more than me. We were equal in everything but he got everything best."

I stared at him like a madman. He started all of this just because he couldn't win over Gideon. Now, I understood why Gideon didn't like the idea of working here for Alex. Perhaps, Gideon had seen through his intentions already.

But how will I get rid of this place?Who was going to look for me??

I blurted through my tears, glaring at Alex hatefully,
" But I am your friend!! How can you do this to me? I have never done anything wrong to you."

Alex shouted back,his tone rising over,
" YOU ARE SAME LIKE OTHERS!! You always care for Gideon only. You never cared for any of us except Gideon. Why should I spare you??"

The other man joined, tapping on his chin as he grinned at me dirty,
" Right!! Leave this beauty for us, Alex! She got a good figure!"

Alex said nothing to protest which made my heart tremble in fear. I would rather die than be molested by these bastards. I tried to get out of this bond but it was too tight. My wrists got bruises but it didn't lose a bit.

The men around them were laughing and joking together, ready to come for me. Before they could step near me, the locked door was slammed open with a bang. Their smiles froze as soon as more than twenty armed men surrounded the place.

Alex looked dumbstruck as he stuttered, pointing his finger at them,
" You...how did you get in? Where are our guards?"

" A loser will be a loser! Always!"

A deep voice resonated, followed by the similar footsteps that I knew too well. Gideon walked into the room, carrying his usual bossy aura. He seemed like he knew it from the beginning. I had nothing to say here as Gideon tried to warn me many times.

Upon his arrival, Alex lost all the color of his face. Rage replaced his ferocious eyes as he growled like a mad man,
" Gideon Vitalies!! It's you again!!"

Gideon replied with a chuckle, his eyes falling on me,
" You have messed up with the wrong person, Alex. I didn't appreciate that you have touched my woman instead of facing me. What a lousy coward!"

Alex's men cried in fear, facing multiple guns on them,
" Boss...."

I watched the whole scene in horror. The way, Gideon had led his men into this room, I wondered whether he turned himself into a mafia or not. Each one of them looked deadly dangerous especially with the weapons in their hands. I wondered how he became so powerful?

Gideon's face hardened as he stepped closer to spat on Alex's face,
" The fight was between men only. But you dragged an innocent woman into this. Your time is over, Alex."

Gideon added, flashing a look at his men,
" Deal with them!"

Afterwards, he came on with his stormy look. Before I could say anything, he unlocked the chains around me and picked me up in his arms. I tried to keep my lips shut, not wanting to be panicked by the guns and men around.

Gideon was still furious. It was best to keep quiet until he asked me any question. Crossing the crowd, he brought me straight for the outdoors. All I could hear was Alex's crying behind our back.

Was he going to kill him?

_____________

" Ah..it hurts...",he threw me off the bed. During the whole ride, he didn't talk to me. Even though he didn't the driver sent us back. He drove alone furiously until I was back in his cage.

His voice snarled, rising in each passing second,
" Hurt??? Would it hurt you more if you just stayed the fuck away from Alex when I clearly told you that he isn't trustworthy? ANSWER ME, VALERIA!"

I jumped in fear, tears getting in the way but I swallowed them back. Gideon continued shouting at me, his dark eyes were always on me,
" YOU COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED THERE!! OR WORST!! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN RAPED IF I WAS LATE TO ARRIVE!!"

I blurted out suddenly, holding the tears back,
" You were following me?"

He took a pause for a second, then brushed it off with a shrug before telling,
" I don't care! It's my people who told me about you! Don't flatter yourself, Valeria! I went there only because I care about my reputation."

I nodded my head in understanding. He had no reason to save someone whom he hated the most on this earth. I gulped down before asking for my own curiosity,
" What.. what did you do to Alex?"

He snapped at me, tugging his suit off,
" You are still worried for him?"

I shook my head. I forgive but never forget those people who threw me off when I was on my knees. Alex practically cheated on me, broke my trust then wanted to give a life like hell. I had no sympathy for him in the slightest.

Gideon scoffed, stripping his suit off until his bare torso and chest were shown in front of my watchful eyes. For some reason, I couldn't hate this man today. Even though he was cursing me, calling me 'fool', everything sounded reasonable. I trusted Alex way too fast from the beginning. That's why, he managed to use me until I fell for his trap.

Gideon's deep voice echoed in the room threatening,
" Since you don't want to be a good wife.. let's start with your teaching today, Princesspessa! Get on the bed and turn your back for me!! You know the rules don't you?"

I blurted, glaring at his face,
" You are sick!!!"

" I have never denied that!", Gideon replied back, an evil smirk forming on his lips. He stated again, pressing his lips tighter to remind me,
" Now, you don't want the punishment to go on for the whole night, are you?"

My body shivered in fear. He had become a sick obsessed man who loved to play this game. Slipping out of my pants, I took the position quickly, reminding myself how I pushed this on myself. Maybe, I should have trusted this Gideon Vitalies last time.
