He Belongs To Me

Chapter 14

Writer's POV

"Nice doing business with you, Mr Matthew!" Gabriel said.

He shook hands with Mr Mathew...they has just finished signing the final agreement on CLEAN FIRST!

"It's my pleasure, Mr Jake!" Mr Matthew said.

Gabriel nods, he turns to Grace.

"Grace, see Mr Mathew out!"

Grace nods and follows Mr Mathew out.

Gabriel sits down and taps on his desk as his eyes zero on the wall clock in his office.

It's already 05:15pm... but he still haven't gotten any feedbacks from Jay.

He picks his phone, but the door bangs open before he could dial Jay's number.

Jay walks in quickly and sits in front of him... He takes Gabriel's coffee mug and finishes his almost finished coffee.

"Geb, you're gonna get me killed someday!"

"What did you find?"

Jay drops a file in front of him, Gabriel picks it up and glances through it.

"Nothing! I didn't find anything... she's not Sophia and I don't think she has anything to do with Sophia..."

He studies Gabriel's expression as he goes through the info.

"... she's just a little girl who lives with her best friend, she have a Aunt and 9year old little brother!"

Gabriel slams the file on the table and frowns.

"If she's not Sophia, how did she get her picture?" Gabriel wonders.

"Sophia's picture?"

Gabriel nods and brings out the picture, he hands it to Jay. Jay frowns in surprise.

"This is you and Sophia!"

"I know, that's why I believe she has something to do with Sophia's whereabouts!"

"Hmmm.... " Jay hums and continue staring at the picture.

"She's strange.. I don't seem to be allergic to her!"

Jay's ears perks up at that statement, he drops the picture and stares at Gabriel.

"What did you say?"

"I'm not allergic to her!"

"How did you know that?"

"Because... she hugged me!" He said.

Jay's mouth hangs open, his eyes opens wide...making his eyeballs seem like they're gonna fall off.

"S-she, she hugged you?!" He hugs himself to illustrate.

Gabriel nods.

"And you didn't have your normal skin irritations?!"

"I didn't!"

Jay didn't speak again, he keeps staring at Gabriel's face.

"I'm confused, why am I not allergic to her?"

Jay shakes his head.

"I don't believe you, I suggest you try it again.. if you still didn't get any irritations, then you've found your cure!"

"What?!" Gabriel asked with confused frown.

Jay leans on the table.

"I mean, if you confirm you aren't really allergic to her, then you should keep her around... You've found your cure!"

"My cure?"

"Yeah, she'll help you heal"

Celine's pov

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

I hear someone roar and my eyes snaps open...I sit up in fright and look around frantically.

Kael's face appears before my eyes, he's shaking and sweating profusely.

"Get up!" He whispers.

"Why?" I asked loudly.

He shakes his head and signals me to keep quiet, I frown, wondering why he look so scared.

"My boss!" He whispers again.

That's when I calculate everything... I came to his boss's house to do my job.

But I guess I overslept and with the look of things, I can tell we've been caught.

He gestures towards my left side, I slowly turn my head and sees Mr Jake glaring at me.

Wait... Mr Jake?! What is he doing here?!

"What are you doing here?" I asked before I could stop myself.

Why does he keep showing up everywhere?

"I should be asking you that!" He growls.

He reach out his hand to grab mine but he stops himself, he stares at me.. he closes his eyes and he take a deep breath.

He grab my right hand and pulls me out of his bed, he held onto me a few more seconds before letting me go.

I see Kael staring at Mr Jake in surprise...like he didn't expect him to hold me..well, I'm surprised too brother!

Mr Jake looks at himself as if he's looking for something on him... and smiles.

Or I thought I saw him smile, because the smile left just as it came... He stares at me as if he's trying to figure something out.

I lean closer to Kael.

"What is he doing here? Do you know him?"

"He's my boss!" He replies.

"Your boss?!" I yelled.

My eyes bulges out in disbelief. What sin did I commit?! Why is nature against me?!

He glares at Kael.

"Kael, what is going on here? Why is there a woman on my bed?!"

"Mr Jake, I..I can explain!" Kael said in a shaky voice.

"Then start explaining!"

Kael glances at me and take a deep breath...he takes my jacket that's laying on the bed and brings it closer to Mr Jake's nose.

"Sir, that's the scent on your bedsheets!"

Mr Jake stares at me with a frown.

"The scent comes from her..not from any soap!"

"Then how did I end up perceiving it on my bed?!"

Kael gulps, I wanted to speak up but decided against.

My smart mouth shut our shop down, I can't blow this up too!

"Kael, speak before you lose your job!" He barks at Kael.

"M-mr Ja....ke.... "

"Mr Jake!" I called him and fall on my knees.

I can't give him a chance to kick me out, this is the only hope I have now.

"I'm sorry, Mr Jake.. I didn't mean to sleep on your bed!"

Mr Jake stands in silence staring at me, he seem calm.. his hands in his pocket.

I guess he's just coming back from his company since he's still in his business suit.

"I have no choice than to agree when Kael came to me with the offer... I know I have offended you and you must hate me so much..."

I blink back the tears threatening to fall.

"... but please don't kick me out, I need the money desperately.. my brother is in the hospital waiting for 9million to save his life.. I wouldn't be sleeping on your bed if I don't need the money... I just..."

I couldn't hold them back any longer, they rush down my cheeks in great speed.

"... I wouldn't know what I would do if my brother is gone, please for my brother's sake, forgive me... I swear, I didn't mean to yell at you that day... I was just too frustrated and was venting out my frustrations... I'm sorry, Mr Jake... Really sorry..."

I couldn't complete my words as I cry harder.

"I don't understand how her scent was on my bedsheets?" Mr Jake said.

"Sir, the other day, a lady passes out in front of our car.. she was that lady, I made a mistake and let her lay on your bed that day.. "

"Holy sh*t!"

Mr Jake runs his fingers through his hair and pulls them.

"I'm sorry, Mr Jake.. it's my fault!"

He stays quiet, glaring daggers at Kael.

"Mr Jake, please don't kick me out.. I'm begging of you..."

I stare at him in hope that he'll forgive me, I know I look pitiful right now..but I don't care.

I'm doing this for Jack... it's all for Jack.

"I need you to answer some questions!" He speaks.

I nod quickly. He reaches in his pocket and pulls out a photo.. he shows it to me.

"Do you know this girl?"

A frown take over my face, I quickly snatch the photo from him.

"How did you get my photo?" I asked him back.

He steps forward anxiously but quickly composes himself and steps back.

"Your photo?" He asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes! This little girl is me!"

His eyes lit up and he bites his lower lip, as if he's stopping himself from smiling.

"Are you Sophia?"

"Sophia? No, I'm Celine!" I replied.

His eyebrows quickly draws together in a tight frown.

"You're not Sophia?"

I shake my head. He stares at me in confusion.

"Then do you know the boy standing beside you?" He asked.

"No!"

"What do you mean? If this girl is you, then you must know who the boy is?"

I sigh.

"Mr Jake, the girl is me but I don't remember who this boy was..."

He squats to my level and holds my shoulders.

"How come you don't remember him?!"

"Because I had an accident and I lost all my childhood memories, i couldn't remember anything from my childhood...."
