CHAPTER 18š„
“Okay, I’ll talk but plea-se don’t shoot me” He said as he stared at Roxanna in fear in his eyes.
“It’s miss Cordelia Lehigh” He said.
“Who’s Cordelia?” Roxanna asked.
Nathaniel walked towards her
“Cordelia is the girl that you saw k!ss!ngme” Nathaniel said.
Roxanna looked at him confusedly. Why would she want to kill Nathaniel?
She turned back to the man.
“What did she ask you to do?” Roxanna asked.
“She hired us to kill you” He replied.
She re-leased him and hit him on the head, he pas-sed out. She re-moved her phone and phoned the cops.
The cops c@mĀ£ in shortly and arrested the two men. An arrest warrant was issued for Cordelia.
After everything was settled, Nathaniel drove Roxanna home. He stĀ©pped in front of her house.
“Take me to your house, we have a lot of things to discuss” Roxanna said without looking at him.
He made a turn and drove to his personal house.
Roxanna called her parents to inform them that she’ll sleep at Nathaniel’s place. They agreed because they knew alre-ady that they are a couple and also because they trust her.
The car stĀ©pped in front of his house and Roxanna opened the car door and c@mĀ£ out of it then began walking to the entrance.
Nathaniel increa-sed his pace and held her arm which made her stĀ©p.
“Are you mad at me?” He asked.
“Did you expect me to be happy? I don’t want to put the blame on you but it’s your fault I almost got killed. It’s because of your obse-ssion for women that a lunatic almost killed me” Roxanna said not looking at him.
“And I said I’m sorry right, I quit that life long ago because of you” Nathaniel said
“How far I’m I sure that you are serious about that?” Roxanna said.
“Are you doubting me?” Nathaniel asked slightly adding pressure on her arm.
“Have you given me any reasons why I shouldn’t doubt you?” Roxanna asked.
“How about you? Who knows the number of men you went in be-d with” Nathaniel said in anger.
Roxanna yanked his hand off her arm and sl@pped him.
“Never you dare call me a slut. Call me whatever you want but don’t you call me that ever again” She said and stormed into the house.
Nathaniel ruffled his hair and entered the house too.

“We meet again beautiful” Alec said with a smile on his face.
Yvonne’s bĀ©dy began trembling as she saw who was standing in front of him.
Tears escaped her eyes as the painful memories she’s being trying ha-rd to suppress all c@mĀ£ flashing infront of her.
She clenched her fists and landed a b!ow on his face.
The b!ow caught Alec by surprise as he wasn’t expecting that. He tĀ©uƧhed hisl-ips and there was blood. He got angry and clenched his fists trying to suppress his anger. He’s in the public, he can’t tarnish his reputation like that….
He smiled at her
“Till we meet again beautiful” He said and entered his car which drove off…
Yvonne walked back home as tears cascaded down her cheek. The memory she’s being trying ha-rd to forget all c@mĀ£ back to her and now it feels like she’s empty.
She’s not scared of him, in fact she wants to be the one to bring him down. She’s just sad and also in pains, it hurts so much…
She opened the door to Mason’s house and walked in.
“Finally you’re back what….” The words dried down in mason throat as he saw her in tears.
He rushed to her and held her shoulder.
“What wrong, what happened to you.” He asked worriedly.
She quic-kly hvgged him ti-ghtly and cried loudly.
“I saw him, I saw him” She said.
Mason was confused as to who she saw. It later dawn on him that it was probably the person who took advantage of her that she saw.
He patted her back as she cried loudly. He carried her in a bridal style and walked to his room.
He placed her on the be-d and re-leased her but she quic-kly hvgged him.
“No don’t leave me, plea-se stay with me” She said.
He nodded and climbe-d the be-d as he covered them with the duvet. She pu-ll-ed him closer to her and snuggled with his che-st.
He gently stro-ke her hair as anger began rising de-ep inside him.
“I pray we meet again, I’ll teach you a lesson you’ll never forget” He thought as he stro-ke her hair.
After some minutes he felt her grip over him loosĀ£n. He looked at her face and she was alre-ady sound asleep.
He k!$$Ā£d her forehead and pu-ll-ed her closer as he told drifted off to sleep.
____________
A maid prepared a room for Roxanna. She took a bath and changed into a dress the maid brou-ght for her. It was an oversized T-shi-t that ended at the middle of her th!gh.
Dinner was served in her room. She ate and went to be-d but she couldn’t sleep…
She turned in be-d but still she couldn’t sleep. She covered her face with the pillow and after some minutes she re-moved it.
She then gro-an ed loudly as she wasn’t feeling sleepy. All she kept thinking was about Nathaniel.
She stood up from be-d and opened the door and then walked out of the room and coincidentally Nathaniel was also coming out of his room.
“I’m sorry” They both said at the same time.
They both ran and hvgged each other ti-ghtly…
“I’m sorry I doubted you. I will never do that again, I promise. I love you so much” Roxanna said.
“And I’m sorry I called you a slut. I so much regret that, I love you so much and I’ll never cheat on you.” He replied…
He claimed herl-ips and she k!$$Ā£d him back. He carried her in his arms, still not breaking the k!ssas he walked to his room.
He opened the door with his leg and walked up to his be-d then he placed her on his be-d.
He broke the k!ssand stared at her eyes.
“I love you”
“I love you too”
He smiled and then la-id beside her. She hvgged him and snuggled with his che-st as she smiled wi-dely.
“Can I ask you a question?” Roxanna said.
“Yeah go on” He said.
“Who’s Cordelia to you?” She asked.
“Well to me she’s the only mistake my father made in my life. You know when my father was still alive, he and Cordelia’s father where close friends. They signed an agreement that he’ll marry Cordelia to me, I was 10 by that time and she was 9. After some years when my father died, the agreement was canceled but unfortunately she fell in love with me. I never loved her not even to think of having something with her. She kept stalking me over and over till one fateful day, when she had to study abroad. I thought I’ll never see her again but looks like luck wasn’t on my side” He said while stro-king her hair
“She’s really desperate to be with you!” Roxanna said.
“Well they can’t help it when I’m this cute and handsome but don’t worry baby I’m all yours” He said and k!$$Ā£d her forehead which made her chuckle.
“How did you learn to fight like that?” Nathaniel asked.
“Uh I’ll tell you another time, when the time is right” Roxanna said.
“Alright I’ll wait” He replied.
She raised her head and pe-cked hisl-ips.
“Goodnight Nate” She said and drifted off to sleep.
He smiled and drifted off to sleep to…

Alec stormed in the house with an angry look.
His father was sitting in the living room smoking as usual.
He looked at his son and ached a brow.
“What happened to your face, it’s bruised” He said.
“It’s that dang bit-ch. I think I didn’t fvĀ¢k some s-en-se into her, maybe next time I’ll teach her how to respect me” He said.
His father chuckled and blew out smoke.
“So you mean a woman gave you that bruise, so stupid of you” He said.
“Shut up dad!!” He snapped.
His father re-moved his gun and aimed it at him. Alec re-moved his and aimed it at his father. The rest of the men presĀ£nt in the room aimed their gun at Alec.
“Not only I’m I your father, but I’m also your boss so never you dare tell me to shut up. I killed your mother and I won’t think twice ending your stupid life. Now put that toy down before my patience run down” He said
Alec lowered his gun and so as his father’s men.
Let me presĀ£nt to you Alec’s dad, Mr. Hector Jenkins, a world known drug syndicate. He has two brothers: Lance Jenkins and the second one,,,you’ll soon know about him.
“But you know, I’m still your father so I prepared a gift for your arrival. Go to your room you’ll see it” Hector said and continued dealing with his cigarettes.
Alec walked to his room and opened the door then smiled as he saw two n-ked ladies on be-d staring at him se-ductively.
“Thanks dad” He said and walked into his room closing the door.
“Tonight is gonna be a long night” He said as he un-bu-ttoned his shi-t, walking to the ladies.
_______Next morning
Yvonne slowly opened her eyes and smiled as she saw Mason slee-ping peacefully beside her.
She poked his cheek and made some faces before slee-ping back
Yvonne sm-irked naughtily
*You don’t want to wake up right?* She thought.
She straddled him and then k!$$Ā£d his ba-re che-st. She felt him shiver which made her smile satisfactorily. She traced his abs with her hands and he heard him gro-an
He switched position with her such that he was now on tĀ©p of her
“Now that I’m awake, are you happy?” He asked and she nodded with a smile. He tugged her hair behind her ear.
“Yvonne, promise me something”
“What’s it?” She asked
“Promise me that you’ll not cry whenever you see that guy again. Promise me that if he tries some $h!tty with you’ll fight back” He said.
“I promise” She said with a serious look on her face.
He smiled and claimed herl-ips as he ca-ressed her th!gh
___________
Roxanna straddled slee-ping Nathaniel.
“Wake up sleepy head. You lazy as-s” She said.
“A k!sson thel-ips will do” He said with his eyes closed
She rolled her eyes and punched him on the stomach. He sprang up from be-d while gro-an ing.
“Ouch, that hurts” He said with a pout.
“That’s what you get for trying to bribe a k!ssfrom me.” She said.
“Since you refuse to k!ssme, I’ll destroy yourl-ips with k!sses. Come here!” He said and made her lie on the be-d
“No, nate wait” She couldn’t finish her word as he sealed herl-ips with a k!ss.
As usual, she gave into the k!ssand k!$$Ā£d him back as he did magic to her ton-gue.
___________
Cordelia destroyed all the things in the room. Yesterday the police c@mĀ£ to arrest her but luckily she escaped.
“I can’t believe it. I’m now on the wanted list” She ranted while pacing to and from.
“I guess I have no option, call my stupid ex!!” She said.
“Yes Miss” One of her bĀ©dyguards said.
“In one way or the other, you’re going down Roxanna. And you Nathaniel either you belong to me or you die!!” She said….
