Lauren is way too tired when he returns, since it is already late, he took his shower. God, I am famished, I would had just eat out.
He is talking to himself, his phone ring. Babe, are you not sleeping? Lauren asked, the caller is Leah.
I didn't see you through the day, I wasn't expecting you to not show up.
Sorry, I just have so many clients to attend to, i would had called but too busy, sorry, I just arrived home and I am really...
You are really what?
Hungry but there is food beside my bed, I will just call you later.
Who kept it there? Leah voice came up. I wouldn't know but it's my room, so it's for me...
What if it's poison and who have access to your...
Leah, go slow, don't choke me with my food. Leah sighed and end the call in anger, he didn't freaking care, who brought the food provided, he is not going to go to bed hungry.
Mandy is coming out in the morning, she is hearing some strange voices from the extreme of the building.
I beg you sir! Mandy turned around and go towards the voice, she saw that the door is ajar, so she peep.
You should know I hate begging, I fucking hate it, where is my money?
I... Lauren hit the man with his gun, Mandy eyes bulge out.
I said were is my money before I scattered your brain on the floor. In a second Lauren had shoot his legs.
Ouch! The man shout and Mandy also screamed.
Uh! Lauren turned before she could pulled herself, he had already see her, he saw her fear, she run from there, Lauren closed his eyes in anger he hit the man making him fall to the floor, the man is assuredly their company former treasurer, he had stolen forty million dollars from the company and had been on the run for months.
Who thy fuck didn't close the door? Lauren yelled as he face his boys, Larry look at him, he is highly angry, knowing that Mandy had see that act of his, he had just confirmed that her husband is a cold; heartless brutal man. I said who thy...
Lauren stop, you should know that is not inevitable, she live in this house, so she must have heard this idiot screaming.
Dammit! Lauren match his stomach harder, making him bleed more.
Lauren!
Larry pulled him from the man.
Tie him to the chair, don't give him water nor food till he confess.
Mandy pack her stuff in a small bag, she is going out, she needed to leave fast before Lauren comes out to meet her there. Larry and Lauren meet her as soon as she grabbed the door.
Where are you going? Lauren dry voice came behind her, she turned in fear almost like a frightening cat. I said...
Please, I beg you, I want to go home, I don't want to get married to you, I don't to be wife of a monster.
What did you just call me? Lauren voice is like thunder, she is shivering in fear. what thy fuck did you call me? Lauren pulled her making her fall to the couch, Larry stood in front of him, Mandy hide behind Larry in fear. Get off my face.
Bro calm down!
Calm down, I want to show her the monster I am.
Lauren pulled Mandy, she wet herself in fear
Bro!
Larry called him, he saw the water on the floor, Lauren sighed badly, he dart out, Mandy run to her room.
Mark clean this mess. Larry said, he get out to meet Lauren, he drove to his condominium not a word from the two, he dart into his condominium, Leah is there.
Babe, what is wrong with you? Leah asked as he gulped the entire glass of alcohol.
Bro, will you calm down.
Calm down, Is what I can't do, she is acting like I am some monster, did you see I made her wet herself...
You two should get me into your page. Leah yelled in frustration, Larry phone ping, he stared at Lauren.
What now?
Dad said, the rite is today, you and Mandy should come over, so that she is welcome into the family.
What? How...
I don't know, you have to go home and bring her to the mansion, I go on now, I need to get Tessa, she is at the airport.
Alright! Larry dart out, Leah look at him. What?
Now that you two are going to the mansion, were is she going to sleep? You should know the answer to the question instead of asking me. Lauren voice is really irritated, Leah grabbed his hand.
I told you no sharing of bed with her. And I didn't forget that, so stop acting like I am an idiot. Lauren grabbed his phone, Leah hit the wall, she is getting too much headache in less than three days of this fake marriage.
Is the man still there? Mandy asked Mark. Yes ma, he is.
I want...
I don't think those guards will let you in. I will not stay long, I will just give him food and care for his injury that is all...
But...
Please, I will not take long. Mark have no choice than to let her try, she walked with the food to the restricted area, none of his staff had ever get a clue of what is inside the room, they only know, he call it hell.
Stone is standing at the door, he is one of Lauren's men, he is the hardest among the men and trustworthy.
Sir, please let me see the man...
You can't, go back to your room. Stone cold voice came up. Please, I beg you, I will not stay long, I don't want him dying here, I know his gun wound haven't been attended to...
Fine, be fast about it. Stone let her in, he is scared that the man might die, Lauren had never shoot anyone, even if he threatened or torture them, he doesn't know why he did it.
Sir! Mandy called, seeing how weak he is, he try to stand from her. Relax, I want to treat your wound, I will have to take the bullet from you, it will be painful but please bear it.
He closed his eyes, Mandy take the bullet from him, it's not deep, she is assuredly got that from her grandmother, Edward's mother, she was a good medical doctor before she passed away, all that Mandy has inherited, but she is studying business because of Edward, the man want her to run his business, even though her dream and passion are different, after she finished with him, he gave him food, making him sleep for awhile, Lauren is still not back.
He finally open his eyes, Mandy jumped in excitement, she just did operation on the man herself.
Thanks goodness! How are you feeling? He smiled at her. What is your name and what do you have with Lauren?
Jack!
And my husband? He haven't said a word, Lauren is inside the mansion already stone wanted to alert Mandy but Jack is fast, he pulled Mandy and place a knife on her neck.
Shit! Stone yelled. Let her go.
I will not let her go unless you let me go. Jack yelled back, Lauren run into the room, seeing Mandy with knife to her throat.
Please, don't hurt me.
Shut up, tell him to let me go, if you don't let me go, I will slit her throat.
What is wrong with you? Why did you let her in? Lauren yelled at Stone.
Get off my way if you don't want me to kill her, her blood will...
He press the knife more to her throat, making blood to pour from her neck, Lauren eyes pop.
Fine wait, you want to get out of here right and you think holding her hostage will get you freedom, you think I love her? I don't love her, kill her if you want. Stone look at Lauren is this man really crazy; heartless or what? He is really mad and cold, Mandy tears drop, is this how she is going to die.
Do you think I am...
I don't fucking care, nor like I love her. Lauren pushed the door.
Lauren, I beg you don't leave me here. Her tears drop, as she struggles to get free, is this man going to leave her here or help her?
