GARY GAUTHIER’S POV
Carly is staring at me with a downcast face, and I’m covered in thick duvet. I look under the duvet and my face clouds. I’m striped off my clothings, smears of lipstick on my body. I ignore the dull ache in my head as memories of last night flash back. Brie!
“How long have I been unconscious?” I say calmly. Carly itches his hair.
“Six hours boss.” My eyes dilates and I fist my palm.
“How’s Lesley?.”
“I don’t think she’s fine boss, Ben spotted her leaving the mansion last night. He said she didn’t look good.” My eyes shot up to meet his.
“She left!, Why did she?.” I didn’t wait for his reply before grabbing my shirt and dragging it down my head. Carly gives me some privacy and turned away. I shove my legs into my boxer briefs and get off the couch.
“where are the guests?.”
“All on the seventh floor boss.” He says and turns to face me.
“And where’s Brie?”
“Uhhh, She left last night in the company of Francis.”
Something doesn’t seem right. I grab my phone and swiped at it, scrolling through. I find what I’m looking for and my face goes taut with anger. I rake my hands through my hair and cussed. Shit!
I turn to Carly and he take a step back, not liking my expression. I clenched my teeth.
“Inform Ben to get the boys ready fully armed too.” He nods hastily and stride out. I punch in some numbers and ring it up.
“Morning boss!.” My personal pilot says once it connects.
“Make the jet available, I’d arrive in an hour’s time.” I say and disconnect the call.
I stride to a part of the wal and press a button hidden beside a cabinet. The cabinet paves way to reveal another large inbuilt cabinet.
I let my eye roam on the different ammunitions. I never intended using them again, but now I’m forced to.
LESLEY PERKINS’ POV
My head aches terribly, my neck hurts like hell and all my whole body seems to be on fire. My throat is parched and my lips dry and chappy. I lick my button lip and wince in pain as it came in contact with with a cut.
I’m still on my gown from the christmas party. The necklace feels cold against my skin.
I’m sitting on a hard chair, and my eyes are blindfolded. I try to peer through the black blindfolds. Where am I?.
I remember last night. The party, the little encounter with Brie, my engagement with Gary, little talk with Francis, and going up to Gary’s room to find the shocker of my life. I sniff as hot tears burned my eyes.
My toes curl up in fear. From my instincts, I’m in a room, and it’s dank. I try to adjust on the chair, but I end up falling to the ground. I wince as my butt came in contact with the wet floor. I hear footsteps from afar and my heart raced.
“Wh…. who’s there?” My voice was croaky. it was coming closer. I try to sit up. The person was close to me now. I looked up and try to peer through the blindfolds, it was futile.
Firm hands grips my arms and it slowly pulled me up and I’m sitting on the chair again.
I whimper as the cologne hits my nose. I feel his got breath as he leans in and I pause. Deep fear settles in the pit of my stomach. Hands at the back of my head loosens my blindfold.
I open my eyes slowly, the room is flooded with bright lights and I try to adjust to the brightness so I stare at the floor. My eyes first came in contact with the red shoes. I let my trail up slowly. Red tailored trousers, Red suit, tattoo lining his arms, A scar running down his chin. A diamond ring on his nose.
I stared at him in the eye. His eyes were cold, held no feelings in them, lifeless, My heart seemed to stop beating and all my nerves became weak, I felt something warm down my entrance, it trickled down my pants and was creating a small pool, I was peeing on myself. My vision is blurry. No!, this can’t be happening, no!, it can’t be.
“Blaine?.” I say trying to see if I’m dreaming but then his lips stretches slowly showing off a silver tooth, he’s real!. I began to shiver all over, and my eyes shut close on its own accord as darkness blanketed me.
BLAINE’S POV
I stare at her unconscious figure as I feel that adrenaline rush through my body. It’s been twelve months without her-twelve long months! I run my hands through her soft waist length hair, it’s grown much longer. I stare at her full lips and I remember how much I have missed to have them on mine.
She’s more beautiful than before, more curvy, much more attractive. She still has that undying effect in me. I feel my bulge rising. I stood up and forced my eyes away from her unconscious frame.
“Take her to the rooftop” I say to one of my men as I walk out of the room.
LESLEY PERKINS’ POV
My eyes flutter open. I’m lying on a bed. I sit up and take in my surroundings. The room is a very large one, and furnished to perfection. Red and white duvet, I look towards the far end of the room. There’s a guard at the door, in red and white suit. I know who loves this combination. I can’t believe it’s him. He’s back!. Blaine is back!. I tried to run away, forget about everything, but my past has dragged me back. I’m on the rooftop. I stare at the blue sky, The roof are vaulted, and with a splash of red and white too. Tears fight their way to my eyes. I face the guard at the door.
“Water.” I managed to croak. He stare at me for a moment and the door opens. A lady steps in.
I took in her red skirt and white top. I know her, she had on a tired smile. memories rush in and I feel tears on my cheeks again. She looked at me painfully. I stare at her, our eyes speaking for us. I take the glass of water and drain the contents. A scar was running down her left eye, he did it to her. I finished drinking and she left.
I begin to sob quietly. I know this is gonna be my end. The guard doesn’t take his eyes off lme. He walked towards the large window and stared outside. The breeze was ruffling his hair. In a second, I saw him hold his neck and groan, I held my breath and watched him collapse into a heap. My heart pounding against my ribcage. I watched a hand hold the railing, climbing. I shifted to the far end of the bed. Another hand held the railing. I watch as it began to climb up.
I gasp at the familiar face. “Gary.” I whisper in suprise as I look around to see if there’s any guard in the room. He manouver his way inside. How did he manage to climb up. I’m sure this building is more than sixteen storey high. He placed his finger over his mouth, motioning me to keep calm. I take in steady breath.
He walked towards the door and locked it, before coming towards me. He loosened the ropes binding one of my hand to the bedpost. I threw my arms around him as I sob. It’s him, in flesh and blood. He kissed me continuously all over. I breath in his cologne as an overwhelming urge to cry wash over me. He slowly withdraw
“Are you hurt?.” I shake my head. I just wanna be out of here. He brings out a short gun from his pocket and help me down. We walk carefully towards the balcony.
“I’m gonna get you to somewhere safe okay?”. I could only nod.
“What about you”. I say as I stop.
“I’m gonna join you later I’ve got some unfinished business to settle. I shake my head continuously.
“No!, No! Gary, you have to come with me!” I whisper yelled.
“Shhh…” he placed his finger over my lips. I watched him through tear filled eyes.
“You need to go first, I’d join you later, I promise.” I hold onto his collar.
“You can’t leave me Gary, don’t leave me!.” The door burst open. I gasp as Blaine comes into the room. Six guards at his back, all of them pointing their guns at me. I lock eyes with Blaine.
“And finally, Romeo has come to take his Juliet home.” I unconsciously move behind Gary, Who is pointing a gun at Blaine. I cringe in fear as the defeaning sounds of bullets momentarily blocked my ears. I close my eyes and place my hand over my two ears to shut out the sound. The sound of bullets continues and I hear the empty metals fall to the tiles. After what seemed like ages it stopped. I slowly open my eyes. Gary is still standing, I looked over at Blaine. All the guards around him were dead. I buried my face in the crook of his back as I hear Blaine speak.
“Gary, been a long time pal.” Gary scoffs.
“Yeah Blaine, ong time indeed!.” What!, he knows Blaine?.
I cringe as I remember what Brie said about Gary being a serial killer. Yeah…. he should know him. I feel a presence behind me, I turn to see the guard who had collapsed when Gary came in. Before I could alert Gary, He stings him in the neck with a needle. I gasp and move backwards as Gary falls.
“No!!” I scream in fear.
*
My hands and feet are tied again, this time my eyes aren’t blindfolded. Gary is sitting on a chair next to me His head slumped against his chest. His hands tied to the back. I look around me. Blaine had his back to me and he was drinking.
More than a dozen guards are surrounding us, armed with rifles. Blaine turns and looks at me. I cringe in fear. A smile spread across his face. I couldn’t look away.
“Little slut.” He says huskily. My heart is pounding again. He walks over to me and squats in front of me. He trail his hand down my cheeks.
“You’re back.” He says with a smile. Fresh tears pools around my eyes. Gary coughs beside me and his eyes open slowly. Blaine whips his head sideways. Gary had a black eye.
“Don’t you fuckin lay your hands on her Blaine!.” He says through clenched teeth. Blaine grins exposing his glittery silver tooth.
“Gary old boy, I can’t still believe you are here!, Coming all the way from Newyork to Atlanta..” He chuckles again and I cringe.
“Let her go Blaine, she isn’t involved whatever thing we had in the past.” Gary voice was calm, like he wasn’t even bothered.
“Let her go?” He stands up and stand in front of Gary.
“Why should I?” He archs his brows and look at Gary
“She doesn’t have any damn business in our affair Blaine” He widen his eyes and took a drag from his cigarette.
“Oh dear boy!. So she hasn’t told you?” Gary spares me a glance and stare back at Blaine. Blaine frowns.
“You mean, you don’t know about her huh?” Gary sucks in a breathe.
“What the fuck do you mean Blaine.” His face was taut. Blaine begins to laugh, and all the other men join in the laughter; loud raucous laughter. He sits on the chair and crossed his legs.
“Well, you see Gary, this sexy brunette beside you is my sister” I watch as a deep frown settles on his features.
He looks at me for explanation. I hung my head and stare at my laps as tears drop.
“Not only that. She’s also my mistress…. and my beloved wife.” I shut my eyes in pain begin to sob quietly..
