LOVE AND HATE
Chapter 1
Andrea POV
It was such an hectic Friday as I walked into my apartment. My whole body aches resulted from the today's work. A new contract was given to the company and my boss made sure we worked so hard on it. I swept my brown long hair backwards and stepped further into the room.
The tired look on my face disappeared when I spot the man sitting on the couch. My fiance, to whom I'm getting married to in less than a month. His brown eyes was focused on the laptop before him. Taking slow step to him, I lean down and kissed his earlobe, the spot I knew he loves.
"Hey Andrea, welcome home" he said softly kissing my knuckles. One thing I love the most was his warmth. I slid my hand to his chest and began to kiss his neck.
"Babe, I need to finish this" He called gently holding my my hand.
"You need a break sometimes, I swear you won't regret it with me" I whispered seducively.
"I know but you must tired, I'm sure you need rest. I also need to finish this for my client" His voice was calm. My eyes went to his laptop and back at him. I can't remember the last time he touched me. My body was craving for him and all he could think is work? "You should rest, I have a surprise for you tomorrow" he added kissing my hand again.
I withdraw my hand and took slow steps to my room. Slamming the door behind me, I rest my back on it for a while. 'It's fine Andrea, once you get married then he'll want only you' I assured myself before heading towards the bathroom.
I was done after twenty minutes. My phone rang immediately I stepped out of the bathroom. My eyes narrowed seeing the caller ID. It was one of my friend Serena. "Hello" I answered.
"Hello, is this Andrea, Serena's friend?" A female tiny voice asked.
"Yeah" I replied.
"Thank God, this is Serena's little sister. I'm at the front of Sound night club. I think my sister is in trouble, my mom is going to kill me if I don't bring her back" The girl said. The frustration was obvious in her voice.
"So what do you want me to do?" I asked calmly.
"Can you come over, to get my sister? I'm just sixteen please don't say no" she plead. I pinched the bridge of my nose. Why does Serena have to be this way?
After a while of silence I replied. "Alright, I'll be there in 20 minutes"
She thanked me severally before hanging up. I stood up from my bed and head towards the dresser. I pulled out the closest dress. It was a black short gown that shows some part of my cleavage. I shouldn't be wearing this but I was in a haste.
Kelvin slept off on the couch already when I was done dressing. I wanted to tell him but changed my mind since I was not going to take long anyway.
After fifteen minutes, I was in front of Sound night club, one of the famous club city in LA. I walked towards the large building after settling the taxi driver. There was at least twenty people on the cue waiting to get in. My eyes dart around to look for Serena sister but I couldn't find her. Did something happen to her? Getting worried, I walked towards the bouncer.
"Uhm, Hi sorry do you know a girl named Serena?" I asked him. He gave me a quick look before averting his gaze. Seriously? I held him by his sleeve "It's really important and urgent. I will be quick I swear" He turned his gaze back to me. "Please" I added.
He looked grim for a moment but then let me in. I was welcomed by the loud music and sweaty people grinding themselves together. This isn't my first time in club. I do come here with Kelvin sometimes. The alcohol and smoke in the air irritated my nose. My eyes search the crowd but I couldn't even find both Serena and her sister.
I pulled out my phone to call her but then a message popped out on my screen. It was a message from Serena.
*HEY, MISS ANDREA. I FOUND SOMEONE TO HELP ME GET HER OUT ALREADY. SORRY FOR BOTHERING YOU*
I sighed reading the text, She could have called instead of texting. I checked the time she sent it. It was ten minutes ago. How come my phone didn't vibrate.
I made to leave but my stomach turned so bad and I bend over. My stomach gets irritate easily especially if I inhale too much smoke. I tried to move again but the pain stopped me. Not able to bear it, I decided to visit the toilet first.
"Uhm, please where's the restroom?" I asked one random pink haired girl.
"Upstairs by your left" She replied.
"Thanks"
I tried my best to control my breath while making my way there. It took me a while before I found it. A relief sigh escaped my lips after using the toilet. The place was quiet and empty, it got me wondering if I entered the wrong place.
I splash the running water on my face before turning to leave. My eyes widened when a tall figure appeared before me. Wait! Isn't this the female bathroom? Why is a man here? Silver eyes, sharp nose, a manly feature a woman could die for. He is more built than Kelvin and For a moment I admired his beauty but snapped out of it immediately. Judging from his retro suit, he must be one of those rich men in club.
"Uh, isn't this the lady's bathroom?" My voice came out lower that how I wanted it to be. His aura was like a madevil, my subconscious was screaming at me that this man was not ordinary. I noticed his eyes go down my chest, my eyes narrowed. What's he doing? "This is the ladies bathroom, you shouldn't be here" I manage to speak.
"Why?" His deep dangerous voice rented the place, he placed his gaze back to my face and raised his brow. "Why shouldn't I be here? Because you might be naked? I don't mind though"
Hearing his rude reply, I blinked severally. Is this man serious right now? "Go away or I'll scream" I warned when he began to walk close. I could see the slight amusing look in his eyes.
"Go on" He smirked still stepping close. I shift back at each step he took. Okay, I need to do something. This man is freaking me out. "Scream all you want, this is my club. No one dares go against me" He scoffed. My back touches the wall and I hold my breath. He looked down to my chest again and I immediately regret wearing this dress.
I tried to walked pass him but he grabbed me with one hand and use the other to groped my ass hard. Anger took over my entire system. In that shortest moment, I slapped him hard on his face.
Chapter 2
Fredrick POV
My eyes were closed as I listen to my buds Einstein, Daniel, Nathaniel and Don. They were all discussing about business and crap. They all have a b***h straddling them whose private parts were hardly covered. Beers were served on our table for third time. Today's paper work was damn stressful, I should be on my bed hugging my soft white pillow to sleep. I wouldn't have come here if it wasn't for Daniel's birthday celebration.
Einstein tapped me by my arm causing me to open my lazy eyes.
"Let's stroll out a bit" he suggested. Great, that would be better than for me to just sit here and listen to their shits. Einstein work with me in my father's company. He is my closest bud.
I order Luxardo for my myself, it was my favorite drink since I loved cherries right from my childhood. My eyes observed the people dancing widely to the loud music.
"Hey, isn't that girl familiar?" Einstein voice gained my attention. I traced his gaze to a girl busy with her phone.
"You know her somewhere?" I asked furrowing my brow. I don't think I've seen this girl before but she caught my attention. Even with the dim light in the club, I could see how huge her breast are. She was average, long brown hair, no make up but yet beautiful.
"That's Mr Lake's daughter. You know, the man your father said he borrowed twenty million from the company" Einstein explained taking a closer look at her. My families cooperation is one of the largest and famous in LA. I might be a flirt but when it comes to work, I don't joke with it. My ways of treating business are smooth and ruthless. That's why we remain at the top for many years.
"The one with two daughters?" I asked twirling the glass of alcohol on my right hand.
"Yeah she's the oldest, I heard Mr Lake died three years ago so she is the one paying for it. she haven't paid even quarter of the bill" Einstein replied. Our other friends joined us and continued their discussion.
For somewhat reason, my gaze didn't leave her. Even for once. I watch her head towards the exit but then stopped to hold her stomach. I let out a light chuckle. Did she drink something she was supposed not to? She tried to walk again but stop. Is she okay? She went towards a girl to ask something.
I watch her nod and began to head upstairs where I was. Her face was squeezed lightly, she kept biting her lips. I began to imagine her lips around me. Her body slightly bend cus of how she was holding her stomach. There, her breast size made me swallow. No girl have ever made me feel so much lust but she was different. I was craving for her just at the first sight.
I hand my drink over to Einstein. "I'll be right back" I informed leaving to follow her. I watch how desperate she was searching for the restroom. The public restroom was downstairs while the one here were used by us. She didn't even notice me following her. Finding the restroom, she stormed inside.
I also went in after a while, the sound of someone flushing the toilet fill my ear as I stood on my place.
She came out after a while and went straight to the basin to watch her hands and face. Her face was clear this time. No make, Blue eyes, full sexy lips, round face and curvy body. She turned to leave but halt noticing me.
She blinked several times in confusion. "Uhm, isn't this the lady's bathroom?" She asked raising her brow. Her voice soft. A light smile appeared on my lips as my eyes went down to her chest. It made me hard on. She noticed my stares and got uncomfortable. "This is the lady's bathroom, you shouldn't be here" she said boldly this time and my eyes went back to her face.
"Why?" I made sure my voice came out deep. "Why shouldn't I be here? Because you might be naked? I don't mind though" I smirked taking my first step to her. Anger flashed on her face for a moment.
"Go away or I'll scream" she warned. Is she serious right now? Screaming here won't help. Even if they hear her voice, they won't dare come.
"Go on" I smirked still walking closer. She shift back at each step I took. "Scream all you want, this is my club. No one dares go against me" I broke the news to her and scoffed. Her back finally touches the wall and I watch her suck in her breath. I looked down to her chest again and swallow. I'm definitely going to make her mine.
She suddenly tried to walked pass me but I was fast enough to grab her, my other hand went straight to her ass to grab it possessively. Her nose flared up in anger and the next thing she did was to slap me hard across the face.
I fell into a trance for a moment, not believing the fact that I just got hit. No one had ever laid a finger on me. "What the f**k!" I gowled. The word 'Anger' does not suit the way I'm feeling at the moment.
She pushed me and head towards the exit in haste. I pulled out my phone immediately to call one of my hitman in the club.
"Black short gown, brown long hair, round face, full lips and blue eyes. Make sure your moves are smooth. Any mistake then I'll kill" I ordered immediately.
"Understood boss" Came a reply from him. I kept my phone back and sighed. My gaze goes to the mirror. I notice my lips bleeding on one side. My blood boils just at the thought of it. She did slap hard and she is going to pay for that. Only if she knows who I am.
"You'll be mine, I guarantee it" I muttered before leaving the restroom.
Chapter 3
Larisa POV
Never had I feel this humiliation before. It was as if his hands were still on me and I hate that. I'm getting married soon and yet I allow a man touch me? I feel dirty just at the thought of it. The way he stared at me totally disgust me. He is such a phyco. I quickly made my way through the crowd grinding on each other. I glance back every second just to make sure he wasn't following me and I'm glad not to see him.
The cool breeze relax my body a bit as soon as I got out. I bow a little thanking the bodyguard that let me in not noticing the dangerous look on his face.
I made sure there was quite a distance between I and the club before pulling out my phone to call a cab. The air around me change as if I was being watch. Did he follow me here? I changed my mind and dialed Kelvin's number.
"Gosh" I muttered when the call went off without him picking up. I really wish he could help me right now. My heart skipped a beat when I felt a tall figure behind me. Without looking back at him, I knew he was twice my size. I felt my heart beating hard and fast in my chest.
'Are they going to kill me?' I asked myself still standing on my spot. My nose was covered immediately with a small piece of cloth. I struggled to break free but the strange scent coming from the cloth slow me down. I felt my eyelid getting heavy. No, I must not pass out like this.
My muffle sounds died down as I slowly drift into darkness.
***
The sun rose up waking me up from my sleep. I groaned slightly shifting on the huge soft bed before opening my eyes. My gaze met with the ceiling and I furrow my brow. It took me a while before I realized I wasn't in my house. My eyes widened like that of the moon and I spranged up immediately. What happened? I found myself in a luxurious clean room.
"You're awake" A deep voice made me turn my head to the left. He was sitting on a couch with his chin rest on his knuckle. I was mesmerized by the way his sliver eyes burning into mine. His aura was like a madevil. His hair messy covering some part of his forehead, it seems he just woke up. Wait! He look familiar.. The memories of what happened last slowly comes in and my lips parted.
"You?l!" I shot a glare at him. Was he the one who abduct me? who is he really? I'm definitely not going to let this slide.
"Yeah me, Problem?" He raised his brow at me as if he owns the right. This is absolutely wrong.
I stood up immediately and ran towards the door but he caught me with just three strides. His hand roughly pulled me against him. My head bumped into his hard chest and his cologne hit my nose. "Let me go!!" I screamed out loud trying to get away but he held me tightly. I used my second hand to hit him chest.
"Stop!" He yelled. For somewhat reason, I stopped and look up at him while breathing hard. I notice the wound on his lower lips.
"Who are you and why the f**k did you bring me here?! Did you do something to me while I was unconscious? Did you kidnap me? Do you know this alone can make you spend several years in jail?" I yelled jerking my hand away from his hold. My blood boils like never before. The look on his face is enough to creep me out. He is sure a dangerous person. Even with my ferocity, he replied calmly.
"One question at a time baby, I can only answer one" He said diving his both hand into his pocket. I didn't budge from my spot. I'm sure my eyes are red with anger. He humiliated me last night, then thinks he can bring me here at his will? Who does he think am I.. A slut? He raised his finger to touch my face but I was fast enough to dodge. "I don't mind slapping you again" I warned coldly. This time his eyes change dramatically. It was cold sending a chill down my spine.
"I'm still going to punish you for that, you're the first being to ever hit me and if you try that again-" He paused and clinched his jaw. "Then I can't promise myself to be gentle. Trust me, you're not gonna like it"
Although, his word affect me but I tried my best to hide it. "Tell me why you bought me here" I managed to say gently this time. Just then his word struck me hard.
"Lake Hales, that's your father right?" Hearing my Father's name my heart skipped a beat.
"What do you know about my father?" I asked staring intensively at him. Before My father died, he borrowed seven million from Xander cooperation and wasn't able to pay because of his sudden death. Does he know about my father's debt? If he does, then why is he asking?
"I'm Fredrick Xander the president of Xander cooperation" The blood on my face dry the moment those words left his lips. He's the president? Oh no, this is bad. "Your payment is taking long than it should. You haven't paid even half quarter of the debt yet, how long do you expect me to wait?"
"I'm trying, I swear. I would pay in no time Mr Xander just give me more time. I'm so sorry I did not know who you are. I'm so sorry" I bow a little not noticing the man's lips that curve up.
"I don't think I can wait any longer" I heard him say and I look up at him. Is he going to sue me? I don't have the money yet and I don't think I would have it sooner. I've been paying half of my salary to the company since the last three years. My sister and fiance knows nothing about this. "But, there is another way for you to pay once and for all" A slight of hope?
"I'll do anything Mr Xander, just don't take this up. I.. I.. can work in your company for many years until the money is complete.. please" I return my gaze back to the floor waiting for his reply.
"Be my wife, Then you'll have no debt to pay"
Chapter 4
Fredrick POV
"Be my wife. Then you'll have no debt to pay" My voice came out gentle. I couldn't read the expression on her face but the next thing she did was to head towards the door as fast as she can. I caught her again and threw her on the bed. Seriously? What the hell is wrong with her? They are so many girls who would jump and accept my offer. Why is she so different?
"Are you insane!" She yelled causing me to tilt my head. Her expression was now clear, it was anger. "Do you think you can just bring me here and order me to marry you. I'm not a piece of property that you can use to replace a debt. I have a life, A fiance, a job and a family. Do you think you can do anything you want just because you're a billionaire? You can't just kidnapped me and think you can say anything to me because of a f*****g debt!" She yelled and made to leave again. I push her back on the bed and hovered over her pinning both of her hands above her head. My face inches from her face and her breast pressed against my chest. She began to wiggle trying to get away from my grip but little did she know that she was getting me hard on.
I position myself in a way she'll keep doing that. Closing my eyes I groan out in pleasure.
She seems to notice it and stop. She was breathing so hard like a scared kitten. Her chest pressing against mine every second. I couldn't help myself but bring my face down there, she smell so good, Her breast was so tempting I could feel myself getting hard as a rock. Can I handle this? I watch a tears slip out of her eyes as she closes it. "Please let me go, please don't hurt me" she plead so low I almost didn't hear her.
"I'm not gonna hurt you Andrea and I won't touch you until the day you'll accept me and come to me yourself but.. we are getting married whether you like it or not" I explained to her. I know my words doesn't make sense. I'll still touch her whether she likes it or not. "There's no need for you to worry about your cloths and stuff, everything is ready"
"I have a fiance" she sobbed not looking me. "I'm getting married to him in a month, so please find someone else" she explained. Does she think I don't know? I've made my findings about her just in one night. She's getting married to Kelvin Scott in one month. I'm sure she doesn't know some crucial things about him.
"Do you know him in and out? Kelvin is not the man you think he is" she finally turn her gaze to me with confusion written all over her face. She must be wondering how I get to know her fiance's name.
"What? What rubbish are you spurting. You know nothing about my Fiance" she said through her gritted teeth. I smiled and freed her from grasp. I walked towards the small drawing beside the bed and pulled out an envelope. She watched every of my moved while sitting up.
"Here" I outstretched the envelope to her. She recieved it from me slowly and I watch her open it. Her expression changed immediately she saw what's in it. Her confused expression was replaced with shock. Her eyes brimmed with tears and her hand began to tremble.
"Kelvin.. This is not true. This can't be true" she stuttered bringing down her hand.
"April 16th, your birthday. In Hallies you left because you didn't feel too well whereas your drink was spiked. Why do you think he haven't touch you for days?" I asked and she looked up at me. Her eyes were red with tears already. Really? Can't she stop the crying already?
"Have you been spying on me?" She asked in disbelief. "You're the most terrible person I've ever met" she said angrily. Her tone was enough to make me lose my mind.
I dragged her up to myself using one hand. Her face and hit my chest again and she whimpered. "I hate it when someone talks rudely to me" Clinching my jaw, my grip on her wrist tighten. She was shivering like a cold cat. "I did you a favor. Watch your tone honey" I warned still holding her close.
"Please let me go" she whispered. God! This again.
A knock on the door discontinued our discussion. "What?" I spoke up coldly.
"Sir, someone is here to see you" The person behind the door replied.
"Leave I'm busy" I spoke up.
"He said it's very important sir" he reply. I closed my eyes for a moment and breath out.
"I'll join you soon" I replied reopening my eyes. The several footsteps indicate the person leaving.
"I'll be back" I said to the shock lady on my bed before leaving the room.
I find Mr Dave waiting for me in the guest room. His oval shaped head matches with his sharp nose, his moustashe lay underneath. He is one of my business partner. I sat comfortably before him and ordered my men to serve him a drink. We had a prep talk for a while before talking real business. Few minutes later, the discussion end.
"Thanks Mr Fredrick, it's nice doing business with you" Mr Dave said giving me a brief handshake then leave with his bodyguard accompanying him.
My phone rang in my pocket, seeing the caller ID I answered. "Hello"
"How come you left without me Fredrick? I told you it's me and you on this business trip!" Came a yell from Einstein.
"I know Einstein but since your wife just put to birth, you deserve a break" I replied and hear him sighed.
"Will you be alright?" He asked. A trace of worries in his tone.
"I'll be fine" I assure before ending the phone call. My lips curve up remembering the little cat I left in my room. I hope she haven't destroy everything yet. "Prepare a lovely breakfast for my wife" I said to one of my maids. Her face turned paled for a moment but she quickly recover herself and bow before leaving. I went to my room and opened the door. Not seeing her on bed, my eyes narrowed. Just then, I heard a click sound and felt a cold metal touching the side of my head. A gun?
"Move and I'll kill you" Came a cold
warning from the woman standing beside me.
Chapter 5
Larisa POV
Minutes passed by as I sat on my spot staring at the photos before me. These are indecent pictures of Kelvin and her ex Veronica in a club. I remember this day. I was there with him, I left early because of my stomach upset. Did he really do this? No Kelvin can't. He clearly told me he broke up with his ex, he loves me. He tells me how much I meant to him everyday. This photos might not be real. This man is a billionaire, it's possible he might have Photoshopped these.
'I should escape!' My subconscious screamed at me and I spranged up immediately. I ran towards the large window to scream for help only to be shocked. Sea? Don't tell me we are on a ship. "That bastard" I muttered sweeping my hair backwards. Where is he taking me to? Judging how high his room is, this ship must be huge.
I pace around the room for a while searching for what I could use to escape. Noticing, I was still wearing the black gown. I decided to change. I went towards his dresser, picked out one of his shorts and top. Though it was a bit bigger than me but I could still manage it.
I went towards the window again Should I just jump out the window? No, the place is to high. I notice some securities down there, I'm sure they'll help if I tell them someone kidnapped me. I ran towards the door to open it but it was locked. Going to his dresser, I pulled out every box not until my eyes met with something.
A gun.
Outstretching my hand slowly, I picked it up. I've seen a gun before but I've never touched it. It was a bit heavy. I decided to hide it and rushed to stay by the side of the door. I don't even know if there is a bullet in it but I'm just gonna try my luck.
Minutes passed pass by with anxiety growing inside me. My heart was pounding so hard in my chest. All of these still feels like a nightmare. His footsteps made me stand alert. 'it's time Andrea' I held the gun tightly and watched the door open. His eyes narrowed not seeing me on the bed but who cares. I place the gun on one side of his head and hold my breath. 'I can do this'
"Move and I'll kill you" I warned coldly. I just hope this works. I only need to get out of here and meet those securities down there and ask for help. I frowned noticing his lips curve up. "Raise your hands up" I instruct.
"Drop the gun Andrea" He warned not budging from his spot.
"Raise your f*****g hands up! Where are taking me?! Why am I in a f*****g ship?!" I almost yelled but he slowly turn his head to me. His eyes unbelievably cold and deadly. "I'm really going to shoot" My voice came out weak.
"Shoot" He said surprising me. My breath became unsteady. His jaw clinch, the aura around him scared the hell out of me. My hand began to shake but I held it with my second hand not to
