"when it's time, I'll claim you properly"

He led Amy to his car and opened the backseat for her and helped her sit by then his body guard who always followed him around had come and took the key from him and drive them to Christopher's residence.

Amy was still shook by everything that has happened. she looked pale and was shaking really bad that he had to hug her tight and reassure her that she was safe. He didn't know what she had been through when she was in a relationship with Dan for her to be like this but once he knew what really happened, Dan would pay for it.

They reached his place and he carried Amy in his arms and headed inside. He had employed some maids who would be staying in the maid quarters he built at the back of his building just cause he wanted to impress Amy more. The maids bowed down immediately down immediately they saw him

He ordered one maid to prepare a warm bath for Amy while he took her to the room. He ordered another to help remove her clothes and bring some new clothes from the one he had bought for her. He then went downstairs to make hot coffee for her and also take his bath in another bathroom

By the time he came back, they had already helped her put on her clothes and laid her on the bed. She laid there, her eyes open, not moving any parts of her body and just clutching the bed sheets hard to cover herself

The maids bowed and left immediately they felt his presence in the room. He placed the coffee in his hands on the table beside the bed and rubbed her hair continuously. The Amy he saw before him was not the girl he met whose eyes were all sparkly and shinning, who smiled often

She looked so scared and afraid. He called her name "Amy" and she looked up at him, her eyes wavering. he refrained from wanting to ask what happened between her and Dan when they were in a relationship and just helped her sit up and gave her the coffee which was now warm

After drinking the coffee she relaxed a bit. Christopher took the cup away from her and helped her lay down and immediately she closed her eyes. After some minutes her breath became steady which indicated she had fallen asleep

He stood up immediately and went into the garden which was just outside the room. he made a call to someone

"hello, sir" the voice at the other end of the call said

"I want to you to keep an eye on Dan the son of the founder of Go logistics and report every step he takes to me" Christopher said

"okay sir" the voice said and Christopher cut the call. he didn't trust Dan for even a second and knew he'd do something stupid to retaliate. Christopher was one who had many enemies who were angry at the way his company always appeared on every newspaper and news coverage. Truth is the publishing company isn't the only company he's heading but also an entertainment company which was also doing well.

He stayed outside for sometime and headed into the room and lay beside Amy to sleep.

The next morning

Amy opened her eyes after sleeping for what seemed like months but was just hours. she remembered what happened yesterday and felt embarrassed now that Christopher knew she had anxiety attacks. she hadn't gone to see the doctor because she didn't want to start explaining how she developed it.

She looked beside her and couldn't find Christopher, she also didn't hear sounds from the bathroom so he was obviously not there. she looked at herself and saw that she was putting on new pair of clothes. "did he just buy these or it's for another girl and he just borrowed it?" she said to herself

She looked around the room and saw how extravagant it was. The room was so large and had grey paints on the wall, there was a small shelf containing some books and other of his belongings, the bed she was on is a master bed and the curtains were large, the tiles also looked very expensive. "Woah, he must have so much money for him to be able to have a room like this " she said to herself

she was still talking to herself when she heard his voice"are you thinking whether I bought them new or I just wore one of my mistresses cloth for you and also how rich I must be?" he asked teasingly entering the room with a tray in his hands. only Amy gets to see this sweet side of him

she was about to stand up when he told her to sit back down and carefully put the tray which contained her food on her lap.

he watched her as she took each spoon of food in her mouth. He called a maid to come clear the plates after she was done

"Amy, I want to ask a question regarding what happened yesterday"he said and studied her reaction. she immediately put the cup of coffee down and stared at him "what is it you want to know" she asked shifting and resting her back against the bed

He drew his chair closer and held her hands rubbing them "what happened yesterday?, why were you shaking so bad?, what happened between you and dan?" he asked hurriedly without giving her a chance to answer one before the other

she looked at him confused and just answered "it's an anxiety attack that I have whenever I hear loud noise or get hit, it started when I was still in a relationship with Dan" she continued to narrate how Dan hit her multiple times because he thought she was cheating on him. This made Christopher more angry than he was with Dan.

After the discussion they had Amy wanted to stand up but was stopped by Christopher "where are you going?" he asked her. "I have a class to get to, what exactly is the time?" she said panicking but was held in place by the strong hands of Christopher

"Don't worry about that, I spoke with Courtney and she said she'll talk to lecturer for you". She felt at ease hearing that

"let's get you washed up" he said and started removing the buttons of the shirt she wore one by one. Amy didn't know why but her heart raced as he removed each button she knew he wasn't going to do anything with her but why was she expecting it. At this point she realized she must be developing feelings for him more than before.

Was it because of these past events that occured these days? she asked herself not sure

After what seemed like hours but was just seconds Christopher finished unbuttoning the cloth. he had told the maids not to bother because he will be the one to attend to her. after sensing that she must be uncomfortable or shy, he let her take off her clothes by herself while he went to prepare a bath for her

After she was done, she entered the bathroom and a gasp escaped her mouth. The bathroom was big enough to fit more than 15 people. Christopher turned back hearing the gasp and smiled and continued what he was doing. "Don't just stand there surprised, come and take your bath" he said and pulled her to himself. The tension between them was so much that Amy's heart started beating more fast than she could imagine. He took his eyes which were fixed on her and helped her sit inside the bath tub and whispered "when it's time I'll claim you properly" and left a stunned and confused Amy.

was this man a wizard?, how did he know what she was thinking in her mind? she thought and and after some seconds relaxed in the water and took her bath

The rest of what happened throughout the day was just Christopher pampering Amy and showing his affection towards her which left the maids of the house talking because this didn't escape their eyes also.

Courtney came over later in the day to see her and they talked about so many things. "Amy, you didn't tell me Christopher was this rich" Courtney said to her

"Eh, even I didn't know, the last time I was here I didn't take a good look at the house so I didn't notice" Amy replied her

"The last time?" Courtney asked raising her eyes

"Okay, fine I'll tell you" Amy said raising her hands in surrender

"I was drugged the other day we went to the party and was almost raped by that guy who came to the restaurant yesterday, by the way hes my ex and Christopher brought me here" she said as if it was just a normal thing which made Courtney look at her with a confused expression

"Oh my God, Amy why didn't you tell me?" Courtney said worriedly

"I didn't want you to be as worried as you are now. I'm okay, at least I've got Christopher beside me" Amy said which made Courtney smile at her

"Is there anything going on between you two?" Courtney asked smiling from ear to ear

Amy laughed and said "no, there isn't for now, even though he already asked me out but I told him I'm not ready yet"

"Girll, I understand you, but don't miss out on him, he's one fine ass of a man and he's rich too and he cares for you also"

"Okay, mum" Amy said teasingly and they continued with other discussions till it was time for Courtney to go home.
