CHAPTER 41

Maybe some other time, right?"

Jake picked up is table napkin, carefully placing it on his laps. "I am a very busy man, I won't have that spare time. You have work to do, so do it."

"Jake..."

she placed a hand on the table as she leaned down,"... we had a little misunderstanding and I am here to settle our differences.

I want us to go back to how we were.""Forget about it, we don't need to get back together. I suggest that you move on, and we can stay as friends.

"I was busy stuffing my mouth with the salad, trying to mind my business. I hate to see two couples quarrel but this actually pleased me in a strange way."But Jake...!"

"I'm on a date with my woman, you are here disrupting our peace. I don't wanna say this to you, but have some dignity for once..."

"Dignity?!"

"... you ended that relationship and I was pleased you did. And again... I know what you are capable of doing, don't play with fire, Lacey..."

he glanced at me and then back at his food,"... whether you lift a finger or leave a single scratch on her body, I will kill you.

I won't spare you, I hate games, so... don't try me."I smiled to myself, he is being protective of me, like a guardian angel.

I lifted my eyes to look at Lacey, she was glaring at me. She humphed, turning around to leave.

I wanted to laugh, but I held it in."Were you jealous?" He asked.

I was taken aback by his question. I picked up a slice of apple from a bowl,

"No, I wasn't. I don't think I could ever get jealous.""Rachel, would you like to be my woman?"What?!I sharply glanced at him."Y-Your woman?!"

"Yes, my woman."

"No! I don't want to. Jake... I can't... we... I don't feel anything for you. I don't even like you, I never wished to have anything to do with you.

I..."I saw the way he frowned frantically at me. It was terrifying that I quickly snapped my lips shut. Hastily, I stuffed the sliced apple into my mouth."Are you rejecting me?"I trembled at the harshness of his voice."No.""If you love death, maybe I could give it to you quickly."

"I'm sorry, Jake. I didn't mean it, I was just speaking my mind."He scoffed."I have lost appetite...." he wiped his mouth with a napkin,"... eat everything, I'm full."

Eat everything?!!I glanced at all the platers on the table."I can't, it's too much.

"He placed an elbow on the table, resting his chin on his palm. His eyes held mine in a piercing manner."Eat everything. For some time now, You have grown thinner and you look sick. You need to eat more.

Don't worry, if you can't finish everything, I will order them to pack it up and serve it to the poor. Since you don't want to be my woman, I will have to force it on you." He said, smiling at me.

I gulped, staring at my plate. I guess I can't escape this bondage. I have been trapped and it is going to be difficult to escape from it.

••••♟Collins♟

"Boss, you have a call from Bronx city."I was playing golf in the open field behind my mansion. With me, stood three bodyguards and my P.A. She held up my phone to me."From who?" I asked, taking my stance to strike the ball.

"Mr Reece Norman, sir." She replied."Put it on loud speaker."She did and Reece's voice came rolling out.

"Old man Collins, how you doing?" I frowned, striking the ball with the golf stick. "What is it, Reece?! I don't have much time!!" I snapped."Okay, take it easy so that you don't get an heart attack. I just found your beautiful flower, Collins. She's here, in Bronx city.""Rachel?"

"Of course, who else?. Collins baby, you didn't tell me your daughter is this pretty.

"I frowned. For four years now, She went missing. It was reported that she ran away from home. I sent a search party to look all over Russia for her. She was nowhere to be found and now, she is in Bronx.

"What the hell is she doing in Bronx?!"

"I don't know Collins, that's not all. Remember the news that went around about Ryan being alive and maybe hiding in the shadows?"Cold shivers ran down my spine."That's five fucking years ago, it's not possible for him to be alive. He was gunned down!"

"Well... I don't know. But I have a feeling that Ryan is alive and he is closer than you think. He is in Bronx and he maybe leaving a different lifestyle and bearing a different name."I walked to where a chair stood under a canopy.

"Reece, I want you to find that motherfucker anywhere he is hiding and when you do so, I want you to kill him.""That's nice.""Dismember his body parts and then pour acids on them. I want him wiped out of existence, got it?!"He chuckled,"Take a chill pill, Collins. You know I can handle it.""Good to know, so do your job."I waved a hand at my PA, she ended the call.

I sat on the chair, pouring myself a drink.If truly Ryan is alive, then, my life is in danger.Ryan is a very dangerous person, the one guy that could kill without any stress. Feared by many, he was a beast who murders brutally and in cold blood.I cannot sit still, I have to push my puns. I have to find that bastard and annihilate him, before he comes for me.

♠️RYAN♠️

What is Love?... A feeling that can't be underrated.

A feeling that makes a man weak to his knees. A feeling that have destroyed so many lives and left some of them, hurt.

A feeling that can't be understood. A feeling I am trying to learn how to get used to.

I stared at Rachel as she laid on a couch in front of me, naked, while I sketched her details on a piece of canvas as a reference in completing the sculpting.

After we had brunch, we retired to my workplace.While my eyes took note of the edges, the smooth curve of her body, the depths and the areas that should be highlighted, my hand with the pencil, made the stroke on the canvas.Not only that, I couldn't control the dire lust her beautiful body is subjecting me to.It was a cold afternoon, and although everywhere was made warm by the heater, my body was took hot to handle.My eyes averted its gaze on her breasts.

Her eyes were closed with a blindfold, so she can't see me. I gulped. What's wrong with you, Ryan?.

You've done this with quite a number of models, why are feeling uneasy while in front of this one.I stopped sketching, sighing as I stared at the big, noticeable bulge on my pants.

My dick is going to burst any minute from now and she's vulnerable in front of me. Should I take that chance?... No... I can't do that. I can't be that insensitive and self centered.

Fuck!!!

"Rachel, we are done." I said.

She sat up from the couch abruptly, her hands held the blindfold and she took it off."I-I thought I was going to stay in other poses that could befit the sculpting."I crossed my legs immediately to cover up my excitement. I flashed her a smile as she looked at me.

"This pose is enough, I like this one better."

Most people are used to my sculpt work standing in an erect position, it's high time I do something different. Besides, staying in front of her and she's naked, was an extreme torture.

If I don't stop this right now, I am going to go mad with lust."I am okay with this pose and besides, get dressed immediately. The boys are coming over in the next..."

I checked my wrist watch,"... in the next twenty minutes. About last night, the $500m was successfully transferred. A successful outing, should be celebrated."

She looked away from me. She didn't look pleased, no one would, I just stole a large sum of amount from her father and it's fair for her to behave cold right now.

My eyes skimmed over her enticing breasts, I watered my lips tentatively.

"Come." I commandedShe gradually stood up from the couch and walking towards me. Never have I seen a woman give off such immense submission in my entire life. Why is she being submissive now? Is she scared of me?She stood in front of me, while I lifted my head up to look into her pale grey eyes.

"How do you feel?" I asked.

"Why do you love asking such a question?" She asked, her brows were furrowed.

I held her hand, moving it closer to meet my lips. I kissed it, licking her palm while I stared into her eyes.

"I asked because I wanted to know how you really feel being dominated by a man who is more dangerous than your father..."

I moved her index finger into my mouth, licking it and rolling my tongue around it.

She jerked from the feeling, and I heard her let out a soft, throaty groan. I chuckled, taking her finger out and releasing her hand.

I leaned back into the chair, releasing my legs while my eyes settle at the V in between her slightly thick thighs.

"I really want to have sex with you now. It's my right to, but I am going to control my urges and instead, I will please myself in another way..." I unbuckled my belt, after it was freed, zipped down my trousers, taking out my cock from my briefs,

"... give me a good blowjob and make it quick."

"But Jake..."

"Kneel!" I ordered, squinting my eyes at her. She stared at me for a while, she sighed, going down on her knees gradually.I smiled to myself. Poor Rachel, your father may be a bad man and you have been the innocent one.

I had plans on destroying everything that belongs to Collins, and that includes his family. After hiring assassins to kill your grandmother, you then ran away from home in Russia.

MyI would have sworn to have them take you out as well just as your father took out my father and my entire family members just to claim me as his property. Although I feel something for you, I won't let it get in the way of my plans. Not only am I going to subject you into quite a number of immoral practices, I am going to make you my woman, impregnate you, and you are going to bear me my first child.
