Chapter 5: ALLIANCE
I quickly pushed Martin away when I saw Lee standing not too far away from us. "Lee I can explain" I grabbed his arm when I went by his side, he looked furious enough to kill a person. "Leroy can you look at me please" I cupped his cheeks but he swooshed away his face he instead grabbed my hand then forced me almost dragging me to go inside.
"Leroy stop you're hurting my hand!" I shouted because he was gripping my hand too tight that it will surely bruise tomorrow. He threw my hand forcefully as he let go and looked at me, his eyes blazing while we stood face to face near the entrance of the venue, thank god no guests was outside or they will have to notice how messed up this situation is.
"Is this the reason you didn't want to marry me huh? kissing around people? why don't you fuck them instead?!" he insulted me which caused me to lose my temper and slap him across his face. He doesn't have the right to tell me and pressure me to marry him as if it was my obligation to do so, I won't marry a man whom I see nothing but a friend.
The door caught our attention, it revealed Martin who looks like he doesn't even care for the trouble which he caused. And then it hit me, what Lee witnessed can ba used as a way for him to not pursue me anymore, for them to stop impelling this stupid engagement. I will make use of Martin in this situation and just deal with him later.
I forced myself to be emotional and immersed in the scene so it would look more sincere that I was guilty for doing him wrong. I grabbed both of his arms, breathed in deeply then started the act, let the show begin.
"Lee I didn't mean to cheat on you, please give a chance to explain" I hysterically said which caused an impact to him since he started getting confused as to why I was admitting to my mistakes and implying that Martin and I really have something going on.
At this point Lee was already sobbing to me, while Martin stood there watching the scene. I don't even know whether he was mad that I used him as a side chick, or if he isn't going to bail on me and instead help me to decept Lee.
"How could you be with him Kiella, how could you do this to me. I gave you my world, treated you with care, served you all the time, wasn't I enough for you? you just met him and threw away all those goddamn years I was the one next to you" he grabbed my shoulders and desperately asked for answers, he was quite intense, was he really that mad that I was able to finally find a man for myself that was not him?
I didn't gave him answers and instead cried to him while he held me captive between his hands. This is the first time Lee as seen him so vulnerable and emotional, it's such a shame it was all an act though.
Martin stepped in and pushed him away from me. He seemed shock that Martin had the guts to stand up for me, you can see how infuriated his eyes looking sternly at us.
Things got worse when Lee threw a punch at Martin causing him to fall on the ground easing the pain. I tried to stop Lee but failed as he shove me aside causing me to lose my balance and hit the floor.
Fortunately the securities were alarmed and stopped them both, I hurriedly went beside Martin to assist him while Lee stormed out of the room along with the guards so I was left there checking on him all alone.
It was evident that Martin was in a bad state since he couldn't defend himself much as he was quite drunk, his lips was busted open and it was bleedin while his face was bruised and had some cuts. He turned his face away from me and stood up from the ground, guess he became sober after receiving those punches from Lee then.
"Get up you look like a fool sitting there" He said while he offered a hand that I merely held. "Thank you for helping me" I said while I was dusting myself of and fixing my gown that was slightly wrinkled.
"I don't need that shit, you used me against my will" he said. Well it was true, he didn't knew anything about what I said earlier I just saw him standing there and remembered how he kissed me and caused all of this shit.
"This wouldn't have happened in the first place if you didn't kissed me" he meddled with my business first the moment he messed with me at the balcony, he even pushed Lee for me so basically he helped me at his own will I say.
"Just instruct me how I can repay you and I will" I straightly offered. He just smirked at me then whispered in my ear, "be at my service" he said then left me all nervous at my own appeal, I probably shouldn't have said that to him.
I asked a staff to drive me back to the hotel since I was too drained to go back and socialize at the conference more. I'll probably text Mom and ask her to give the closing remarks since I don't know where Lee went after the incident.
I went quickly to my bed and lied down sleepily. I was too lazy to change clothes and wash up or even remove my make up, my feet are killing me from wearing those uncomfortable heels all night also fighting with Lee was kinda hard to do so.
After I have recovered a but from the stress I've been to, I finally decided to go and take a bath. I went to the sink to remove my make up when I noticed through the mirror that my arms were bruised badly, it must be from Lee since he was gripping at me as hard as he could a while ago. I didn't treat it right away instead I stepped in to take a bath so that I could sleep right away after.
I put on a robe since I forgot to get my clothes who was still on the goddman luggage and I hadn't had the patience to deal with it before. I went out the bathroom with my hair still wet when I spotted Martin sitting at my bed staring.
"What the fuck get out" I shouted at him but he didn't even bother to move "You don't even lock the door so don't be surprised that I got here" he stood up then placed the champage and glass he was holding on the side table then walked towards me which made my heart pound. I don't know what this man is capable of.
He caressed my back to close the gap between us, he reeks of alcohol at halatang may tama na. I don't know how to react, should I push him or what. "Consider us being quits after this" he said then kissed me a little bit softer than before.
I decided to just respond since I do owe him something, I might just let this happen and consider it as a replacement for his service so I could still use him afterwards. He might agree to help me with my plan once he realized that I am somewhat true to my words, plus it's just sex nothing else.
He pinned me against the wall and started going for my neck, I can't deny that he's a great kisser, definitely an experienced one.
I started removing his buttons one by one to reveal his upper body, toned enough so I will put up with this for tonight, and maybe a few times more.
He pulled my robe downwards my shoulder then kissed it leaving a few red marks. I also pleased him while I continued to leave trails across his neck which should be visible tomorrow.
I was about to unzip when he suddenly stopped, he gently pushed me away then looked me in the eyes. "You have to help me" he said.
He went back to my bed and sat there, I fixed my robe who was loosen up then also my hair before I sat down next to him.He seems serious and was in deep thought. "Help you with what" I asked.
He opened the bottle of champagne then started pouring himself a glass. I couldn't help but notice that he still hasn't tended to his face full of bruises and cuts so I quickly went to the bathroom to change clothes then reached for the medicine kit that was under the sink.
"Dad wants me to go back to the US again" he stated, I went back and started with a disinfectant then swiftly dabbed it in his wounds. "What do I have to do?" I asked, I reached for the ointment and spotted all that might leave scars, it won't do his handsome face good.
"You still need me to assure that Lee won't bother you into marrying him right?" he stated then drank a glass full of alcohol.
At that moment I felt a connection, we both wanted something out of each other. It was not love nor lust but alliance.
