Claire's POV
I haven't gotten myself since that day I woke up in Rico's house. My body was weak and my v****a was hurting. I cannot seem to remember a dime that happened.
I knew something transpired between me and Rico, but I can't remember anything, and it drove me crazy. I was trying to get over that, when Rico proposed. It was more like a mission accomplished.
It seems weird but everything is just falling in place for me. This has been my plan. To get him to marry me so I could get access to him and destroy him completely.
I quickly accepted the proposal without hesitation. We decided he wanted her private wedding, and it was just as if he read my mind. The wedding was so close. It's in two weeks time. I had wondered why he pushed it so close but he said he can't wait to make me his wife.
For the first time he spoke about the penthouse. He said I will have to move with him to the penthouse. I was shocked and happy. This is all I have been waiting for.
Days turned into a week and the wedding was fast approaching. I went to visit my sister's grave. I had made a grave for her even though her body is still nowhere to be found. I wept bitterly, as I told her I was finally going to avenge her death, and get to the root of what happened to her. I promised her I was going to make sure Rico pays dearly for what he did to her.
I apologised for not listening to her last wish in staying far away from those who murdered her. While I was crying, I noticed a movement in the cemetery. Someone was watching me.
I could feel someone's eyes on me, and when I turned there was no one. I faced front while I gently rolled my eyes and looked by side only to see a male figure taking pictures of me. I quickly stood up and ran after the person. I didn't get to see the person's face as he ran towards a black vehicle that parked before him and zoomed off.
It was a spy and I wondered who had sent him. I turned back only to see his bracelet on the ground. I guess he fell from his hand while he was running. I put it by the side of my pocket.
I quickly left the cemetery as I felt it wasn't safe for me. I went to Rico at his office, and to my surprise, I saw a vehicle parked outside. It looked exactly like the one I saw at the cemetery.
It was weird to me and lots of thoughts ran through my mind. Could it be or could it not be? I wondered. My spirit had whispered it could be Rico's men but I doubted, although something suddenly felt strange.
It has the same plate number as the one I saw at the cemetery. Now I was getting convinced it was Rico's men, but to my surprise two couples came out of the grocery store across from Rico's company and entered the vehicle and drove off.
I became more confused. I thought perhaps I had seen it wrongly. I shovelled the thought away as I made my way to Rico's office.
As soon as I went to Rico's office I saw him with another girl. I was surprised, but wasn't at the same time. I didn't feel bad after all. I am only here for a mission and after it is accomplished, I and Rico have no business.
He didn't even lock his office door. He was banging on the girl right on his table in his office. I felt irritated by how much of a womaniser and a cheat he is and how he used girls.
I didn't care to wonder why he chose to marry me. I was overwhelmed by my mission and wouldn't want anything to destroy my plans. I didn't want anything to destroy our wedding so I had to step back and act like I didn't see anything.
We had a private wedding with a few of his billionaire friends. He claimed to have no family members. After our wedding, we drove down to the penthouse.
I was stunned when we arrived. It was a very huge mansion. Indeed very big. There were tons of bodyguards surrounding the building. Everywhere seems enclosed, there is only one way out of the building.
When we entered the penthouse. I was shocked to see a lot of young girls. They were uncountable young girls who were staff, I assumed. They were all out in the same uniform. There was something strange about them. Everyone was scared of their boss. Immediately they greeted him with fear and continued what they were doing.
No one looked at my face or even greeted me. They all had a long face, none were smiling. Another strange thing was that almost all of them had bruises on their body in the same spot, and they all had the same body shape. Big boos and ass.
The shock didn't end there. Rico's room was dark and scary. It was more like the devil's hut. “Welcome to my humble abode,” he said in a dreadful manner. “Make yourself comfortable my lovely wifey,” his words sent shivers down my spine.
Something was not right and I could sense it. Fear began to crip in, but I tried to act cool. It was late at night and I couldn't sleep. Some business partners had come to see Rico by this time of the night and he was downstairs.
I wondered what kind of business partners they were and the kind of business they were negotiating on. I opened the door and went downstairs. I wanted to use this opportunity to look around the house. I wanted to ask the girls if they knew Anna, but none of them were giving me face. I greeted the girls and no one responded to me which was strange.
The house was too vast and had uncountable rooms. I patrolled inside the building opening one door to another. There was something strange about a particular door. Inside it were many other doors that led to different entrances. It was dark and scary, but out of curiosity I wanted to know what's there.
I put on my phone light, as everything became very dark. I saw another stairs that led to the underground. I was shocked to find out the building has an underground. Without fear, I went down the stairs, counting my footsteps.
When I got down there was a door. I opened it and something fell on the ground. I pointed my touch to the ground to see what it was, and behold it was a human head. I screamed at the top of my voice.
Fear gripped me. I immediately peed on my pants. I managed to open my eyes and pointed the touch directly into the room and I saw torn of naked dead bodies both freshly killed and those that have been there for long. I ran out of the room. I lost my way.
I opened several doors and I found the same thing in every other room. The one that shook me to the core, was the last place I entered. I saw dead bodies, without head and breast. Their s****l parts were cut out with their head leaving only their body.
I wished I could unsee what I just saw. My eyes beheld a spectacle of unspeakable horror, one that would haunt my dreams, and then I knew my life was in danger. I got caught up in the devil's nest. Rico is a blood sucking animal and a beast in human form.
I couldn't stand what I just saw. I fainted. I woke up to find myself in Rico's bed. Immediately I opened my eyes, the first thing I set my eyes on was the clock ticking. It was 2;30am. I turned to the left and beheld Rico. The devil.
I was about to run out, only to realise that I was stuck. My hands were tied to the bed. My hands and legs were spread wide open with each tied by a chain to the bed.
“Hahahaha,” Rico let out a loud laugh. “Where do you think you are going? You can't escape from me Claire Johnson,”
I was shocked he called me by my real surname. Then it dawned on me that he knew who I was all along. He knew all along I was Anna's sister.
“We have a lot to talk about wifey, but I will come back shortly. I need to finish my meeting with my business partners,” he said, letting out a crooked grin.
I cried, screamed but no one could come to my rescue. Anna had warned me but I didn't listen. What have I gotten myself into? I need to escape! I need to get out of the marriage! I no longer want revenge!
My life is at stake!
I wept bitterly as I pondered. Would I be a victim too just like my late sister?
