章 4: Chapter Four
"There's nothing to gain from giving so much control to the demons of our past in making them decide our future. It's okay to be scared, it's normal to feel hurt. After all we are just HUMANS".
'Aunt please, I will do anything you want, but please don't beat me, I promise not to bother you, aunt please' he wailed and cried bitterly.
'oh, come one! Don't be such a small boy, you know, you will feel better after the pain, the pain makes it more pleasurable and interesting, I know you enjoy it more than I do, silly boy' she laughed evilly and continued whipping him.
He was tied down to the bedpost, completely naked and she kept on lashing the whips on him, he kept begging. she is more turned on by his crying and begging.
She stopped hitting him, dropped the whip, moved closer to him, and started caressing and touching him in private places. He was crying bitterly without making a sound. With tears cascading down his face, she forced him to kiss her and touch her back, she moaned in great pleasure.
She turned him around and slapped him hard across the face 'come on baby! Scream for me' she commanded 'I want to hear you beg for more. . .
Christian woke up from his nightmare drenched in cold sweats at 3:00 am, the same routine for the past nineteen years. . . the nightmare was one of the many reasons why he never allowed his one-night stands anywhere near his home. It was always in a hotel, which he is the owner.
Fuming with evident anger and obvious pain. He left his bedroom, went to his gym room.
Went through some rigorous exercises to let the steam off. He seemed like a man running from something.
'How can she still have so much control over you Christian? You're self-accomplished, he threw a heavy punch at the punching bag'
'You're far away from her evil clutch, he threw another punch'
You're successful'
'You are wealthy; he threw a heavier punch'
'What in God's name is wrong with you Christian! You need to gain control of yourself!
After two hours of exercise, from the treadmill to the dumbbell, do push-ups. He took his bath, dressed up for a run through his estate. He carried a water flask, his Bluetooth air pods. . . what's an early run without soft music?
'I particularly like the morning breeze and the early morning dew smell seems to clear my mind better'
He left his house and began his jog down the street, he was vibing to Justin Bieber's Purpose.
After running several laps, two hours later. He returned home to get prepared for the day's business.
Heading to his car, he got a call from his assistant.
"Hello Mabel, anything the matter?"
'Sir! There's a woman here wanting to see, she refused to believe you're not on seat.'
"Do I have a previous appointment with her?" he asked
"Not at all, sir. I told her to make an appointment with you first, she refused.'
"kindly let her know, I won't be seeing her today, check my schedule and give her a date to check back"
'I've tried that already, she declined'
"Hmm! I don't have time for this nonsense Mabel, what's her name?"
'Miss Martins, Sir'
"Oh!" he smiled, finally, something to brighten my day "Mabel! Do tell her to hold on, I should be there in" he checked his wristwatch "30 minutes"
'Alright, sir. Drive safely.'
'what has the devil's daughter come looking for? Well, who cares. . . it would be fun ruffling her perfect feathers' He thought
"Ma'am, Mr. Judge will be seeing you when he arrives, have your seat at the reception, I will call on you when he arrives"
Mabel informed Mo. She was skeptical for a while but then went ahead to sit at the reception. The office reception is located opposite the Secretary's office, beautifully decorated with yellow paint with a blue spiral design, if you stare too much at the design, it pulls you in.
'I was busy admiring the paintings and design, I can't believe I slept off already'
She sat up and checked her time "Oh My God!" She gasped "it's past Eleven already, isn't he back yet?? Why did I have to sleep off in this idiot's office?? Oh! Mo." She took her bag and approached Mabel's Office.
"What is taking your boss so long?? I don't have all day to squander. Some of us have far more important businesses to attend to"
"Sorry ma'am, he arrived two hours ago"
"he what???" She barked "Why didn't you wake me?? What in God's name is wrong with everyone in this organization? If I wanted to sleep, I have a very nice three-bedroom apartment in Holland villas, fully furnished and fully air-conditioned" she shouted
'Thank God this is the upper floor; I can only imagine how many eyes would have been directed this way if it wasn't with all this unnecessary noise' Mabel thought.
"Mr. Judge directed me not to disturb your sleep when he arrived, he said you looked rather tired."
"How dare that bastard? How dare he??'' she gasped'' What gave him the right to decide my state of wellbeing?' she fumed angrily "I want to see him now"
"Uhm, he is in a meeting right now . . .
"I don't give a damn" she interrupted "You go in there and tell him I need to see him NOW, or I swear to God you will see real crazy this morning." She glared at Mabel.
Mabel scurried off to the Board room to inform Christian.
'what kind of woman is this?? I hope this is the last time she pulls this stunt I can't afford to lose my job' she is owning up to her name "Ice queen" how can a small body cause so much problem.' she thought.
Stepping into the board room. just at the right time, Christian Ended his Video conferencing with his associates.
"Sorry to disturb sir, but she's awake and requesting to see you immediately"
"Alright, lead her here, I still have things to do."
"Okay, sir!"
She left the board room back to her office.
"He will see you now she eyed Mo. From head to toe 'walk straight down and take a turning to the right, the third room after the turning you will see the board room"
Mo. Took her bag and left the secretary, without a thank you.
"She is so rude and saucy eh'' Mabel. Lamented ''I pity the poor man courting her, that is even if her attitude allows her to make one stay' went back to her seat and continued to work on her Apple laptop.
Mo. Got the directions correctly, without even knocking or making her presence known, she barged in on him.
"what gave you the right to decide if had enough rest or not" she attacked
"Good morning to you too Mo. Or should I say, Ms. Martins"
"Oh! Puh-leeze, drop the pretense and let's go straight to the point''
"Which is??"
'This guy is good, just look at the smirk on the idiot's face acting all unaware about the whole stuff'
"Do you have to ask??"
"Mo. You came to see me and not the other way around, so I'll suggest you go straight to the point if you truly have important stuff to talk about, I haven't got all day" he gave her a hard stare.
'Good! Let's scare her bit, she needs to watch that her spoilt attitude around me'
"Neither have I'' She responded ''I wouldn't want to waste any of my precious time in your presence"
"Great, since we can't bear each other's presence any longer, spill it and be done with already"
"If you have business with my father, have it out with him, but not at the expense of my own company. I don't want to be caught in the crossfire of whatever you guys have going on, it's none of my damn business, how dare you think. . ."
'What in God's name is she saying?? And why does she have to continually lick her lips?? Is she freaking seducing me right now?? Probably the reason for the leather skirt and the patterned shirt. . . Damn! she looks so hot and sexy in those, with her cowgirl boots. God! She smells so nice. . . come of it Christian, what in God's name is wrong with me?? Is she casting a spell on me or something?? I don't like her type.'
"So, do you understand me, I need my documents back immediately" she concluded.
"What documents?"
"Have you been listening to me at all" she exclaimed. "You can't take my company has a collateral damage of whatever business you guys have going on"
"Oh, that!"
"yes, that"
"Well, Ms. Martins, you're having this discussion with the wrong person. Your father signed your company to me without force or coercion. And I took what belonged to me when he refused to pay up before the stipulated date. All is fair in love and war, right?''
"you bastard'' she hit him in the face "How dare you? who do you think you are? what rights do you have?
He pulled her too close for comfort and gave her a death glare "the next time you lift those small dainty hands of yours against my face, I will make sure you don't live enough to tell the tale" he whispered with cold breaths to her ears.
She jerked away and look stunned. 'What just happened right now??' she seemed dazed.
"Uhm, well. . . you should know not to tamper with whatever that belongs to me" she stepped closer and looked him in the eyes, although Christian is way taller than she is, she doesn't seem intimidated with the height difference, "I don't joke with things that are mine, I would fight tooth and nail to protect what rightfully belongs to me" she poked at his chest and made an attempt to leave.
"not so fast woman" he pulled her by her arm but she jerked her arm away from his grasp, he smiled at the act "if you are not willing to get burnt, don't play with fire." He eyed her from head to toe, his looks lingered on her lips. 'seems she licks her lips when she's nervous' he held her eyes and said "You know, I sincerely have no business with you, you should go meet your father and have it out with him instead of wasting my time."
"I hope I never have to cross paths with you after all these stunts you just pulled" she replied to him and left his office fuming with volcanic anger.
"Mo. Mo. Mo. You will come crawling back dear and I will have so much fun thawing the ice you've encrypted yourself in. then I will you prove to you that no one messes with me and goes scot-free" he grinned wickedly and returned to work.
Christian was deeply engrossed in his work he did not realize how fast the day has transformed tonight. He did have lots of workloads to cover.
'I guess I need to call it a night. That's enough for today' he moved his seat back a bit loosen his tie and gave a gentle massage to his scalp.
'it's half-past nine already. . . I'm probably the only one left in the building except for the securities downstairs.'
He got up from his seat, switched off his laptop, took his suit from the cloth hanger, picked his phone then switched off his office light and left.
'This guy did not even bother to call or message since morning, haven't seen him since last Friday, I do hope he is okay, he took the elevator to the main floor, went to the garage and he noticed an unfamiliar car in the garage with his.
'whose ride is this?? It's quite late already. I did not notice anyone else in the building before I left.'
"Hey brother! Missed me??" Gina smiled up at Christian
