Dirty Affairs novel Chapter 56

Another day has dawn. The early morning sun was smiling down which reflected through the window into the room where Sophia was kept.

Sophia blinked her eyes and then tried to open it but the sun seemed not to let her do so.  

A few seconds later, her eyes finally opened a bit. More like a peek. She woke up and felt dizzy instantly. She couldn't open her eyes clearly and she didn't remember a thing. She tried to widen her eyes but it was only blurry.

In the next seconds, she tried bringing up her hand but the feeling she got from it made her feel she had been tied up.

She also wanted to raise her legs but she noticed they were also tied too. That's when her thoughts flew back to last night's event. 

"Someone kidnapped me!!!" 

"She immediately finally forced her eyes fully open the moment she heard a voice. Seemed like the voice was on a call.

"Where is Ace!!!." She  spoke to herself inwardly and in no time, she started sobbing. She couldn't control those tears from dropping as she continued to speak to herself inwardly.

"I know I have been rude towards you. Please, wherever you are, please, forgive me." She continued to sob and even when she knew Ace wasn't near to hear her out, she still had much confidence that she was going to be fine.

She was becoming weak emotionally. She used to be brave. What happened now?

The thought that Ace brought her into this mess convinced her the more that Ace would come for her. 

"That heartless dude!" She said inwardly to herself as her tears intensified the moment she remembered that Ace was a heartless man who cares for no one.  

"I'm just his Contracted girlfriend…" She sighed hopelessly. The thought broke her really bad.

While she stayed hopelessly and son, what she heard the voice say caught her attention.

Still on the phone…

"Yeah she is here and I want you all here. Ace would be everywhere looking for her." What she heard him say, she didn't know if that was hope or hopelessness.  

Suddenly, she stopped hearing the voice and immediately, the door was pushed open as she saw a young good looking man walk in. 

"Ohhh you are awake angel."  He asked but she didn't say a word. 

"You must be very tired."  He said and pretended to care as he started caressing her face in which Sophia didn't hesitate to stop him by moving her head backwards. 

"Such a little stubborn cutie." He said and chuckled. 

"Just let me go or else…" She hesitated to speak, not knowing what to say. 

The young man on the other hand couldn't stop staring at her lips.

"Or else what?" He asked.

"Or else…" she stuttered.  "If Ace finds you himself,... Just know… you are… you are dead." She threatened as a mocking laugh left his mouth.

"Hahahaha!! You just made me laugh after a long time and it's my pleasure. Now, I see the reason why you are Ace's weakness. " He replied.

Sophia couldn't understand what he meant. Though, she didn't want to overthink it. She knew she just made an empty threat. 

"You just laughed at your downfall." She replied as she spat on his face. 

He just couldn't believe what she just did! He swiftly brought out his handkerchief and wiped his face. Once he was done, his look was murderous. He felt like strangling her to death but he was helpless. Xavier hasn't instructed him to do so yet.

He couldn't seem to control his anger. He needed to vent it somehow. Immediately, he grabbed her cheek with much force which caused Sophia pain as he made her look at his face.

"I swear… I will make your life a living hell if you mess with me!" He warned.

Sophia could hear how fast her heart was beating. She could tell she was already getting scared from his murderous look and warnings. She was damn scared but she didn't let that bother her.

" Do you think I am scared of you?" She questioned, still gazing into his eyes as she spoke with much confidence even if she knew she had none.

"You still got the time to spare your life by letting me go. Funny enough, he will kill you with or without letting me go but you also stand a chance to be spared if I'm free. I'll talk to him. I'll turn the table on your side for your favour.

Still grabbing her cheek, he spoke.

"Shut your mouth before I help you shut it." He warned as he slightly pushed her and finally walked out of the room. Leaving her to wallow in pain.

"Aishhhhhh!!!!!." She winced and looked at her helpless hands as she hopelessly spoke to herself inwardly.
