Dirty Affairs

CHAPTER 56 I'll Kill You Bastard! Ace Yelled

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 phoneCopyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"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. “Hahahahal! 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.

“It's not working! How do I leave now? Why should they even put me in between their fights! I Swear, I owe Ace a resounding dirty slap." She said and looked around, trying to look for what to do to get herself out of the mess Ace involved her in.

Luckily, her eyes sighted a little broken bottle and she was lucky it was SO near toner. Few seconds later, she looked around again and. also saw-piéces of broken bo tlesc and the floor was also messed up with some liquid that seemed like drinks. By the look of the type of hoftle she saw, she cou dell they were alcoholic drinks. THéy probably got drunk last night to the extent of breaking some bottles. Either intentionally or maybe by mistake. That was her thought. Content belongs to swnovel.ne

Still lying on the bed with her tied hands and legs, she struggled to get closer to the broken bottle. Once she was close enough, she used her legs that werent the ground to pullit > closer. Ta make it easy for her, she immedjately rolled and fell to te

g ound as she then used her-two hands that were tied backwards to gét hold of it. Once she gat it, she struggled back to the position she was on the bed and pretended nothing happened. By the help of the bedsheet, she dusted off the dirt that was on her face by rubbing her face continuously on the bed.

"I pray it works." She spoke to herself like a whisper as she started to hear footsteps which she was so clever to hold the broken bottle firmly in the way no one would see it.

Shortly, the door was pushed open as she saw another young man walk in with a plate of food. Xavier had instructed the young man to give Sophia food and to also make sure he puts an eye on her.

"This is your food!" He said as he placed the food on the bed and was about to untie her hand. "I don't want to eat! Take it back!" She yelled and the guy angrily looked at her. “Then, I'm going to eat it." He replied without looking at her in any form of pity. He immediately sat down on the bed and started eating the food.

Sophia couldn't deny the fact that she was hungry. Her eyes watched the young man continuously as he scooped food into his mouth. The sight of it caused her to swallow her saliva multiple times.

Immediately, the young man and Sophia heard footsteps approaching them and before the young man could stand and pretend not to have eaten or tasted the food, it was too late because someone had already pushed the door opened. It was Xavier.

The scene in which Xavier saw was unbelievable. He saw one of his men eating the food meant for his prisoner.

"What's going on here?” He asked with his hands placed into his pocket, still trying to understand the scene before him

The moment the young man saw Xavier, he immediately stood from his seated position still holding the food and with some still inside his mouth "Boss, she refused to eat." He replied but due to the food in his mouth, his words weren't probably heard but Xavier understood it.

"And that's why you started eating the food?" He asked angrily.

Deep down, Xavier didn't know if he should laugh or scold him because the scene almost cracked him up.

"I'm sorry boss." He immediately apologized.

"Boss, I'm really..." An unexpected punch landed on his face. Xavier punched him so hard as his eyes were now cold

He whined and Xavier looked at him with no pity.

"Shouldn't you have left the food for her to eat when she is hungry? Or probably tell me she has refused the food. I'm pretty sure she is hungry and she wouldn't want to starve herself for long. Fool!" He cursed, took a few steps forward and stood in front of his guard.

"The next time you try this, that will be your end!" He threatened. "Fuck! You spoiled my plan!" He said as he watched the young man slumb and fell to the ground.

Sophia couldn't help but enjoy the scene before her. The thought of if I had tasted the food, this would have been my fate struck her so hard which got her more scared. So I would have slumbed after eating? She wondered

"Are you aware you are putting your life at more risk by not letting me go?" Said Sophia.

“One more word from you. I'll slice your throat.” He threatened and brought out a little sharp knife from his pocket and placed it on Sophia's throat. Sophia got more scared the moment she saw he was joking at all. His facial expression showed no humanity.

Sophia didn't move or say a word. She closed her eyes tightly as she tried to swallow her saliva out of fear but she couldn't because she knew any little move she makes, the knife will go into her skin without any hesitation. In all, she didn't stop praying to her God to come to her aid.

Shortly, he took the knife away from her as he brought his mouth closer to one of her ears. "Scared but act brave." He whispered into her ears and placed the knife on her neck for the second time and pushed it a bit harder on her skin.

The fear made Sophia cease her breathing for sometime as she shut her eyes tightly as she started breathing fast.

"This is just a warning to let you know I don't care about you just as Ace cares. Ifyou try to talk shit again, I want hesitate to slice yours pretty skin."

it.

Sophia on the other hand felt some pain on her neck and she could also feel some liquid substance roll down her neck but what could a helpless girl do when her hands were still tied up.

Back at one of Ace's houses

Ace glanced at the photo Xavier sent to him. He continued to gaze at it without saying a word as he started gritting his teeth. "Aaaah!” He screamed and threw away his phone. Not minding if it would cause damage.

"I'll kill that bastard!" He yelled furiously and his men shivered in fear.

"He needs to be tracked down and I mean now!" He instructed as they all walked into the operating room to commence on how to track Xavier down and meanwhile, Cynthia's tears didn't give any hint that it would stop soon
