The threat

A NIGHT WITH MR XANDER

Chapter three

Evelyn who rushed out the room boarded a taxi to the apartment She shared with Olivia.

Although Aurora pin pointed there was no need to move out of her parents house, Evelyn couldn't help but feel she was a burden and in order to get rid of such thinking, she rented an apartment with Olivia her work mate.

Olivia was just about to step out when she saw Evelyn looking Haggard in her state, a sudden panic rose in her.

"What happened to you?" She asked, she was in shock with the way she walked. Obviously something happened.

She had just stepped in and right before she could have her seat, Aurora badged in looking worried.

Last night she had being Calling Olivia seeking news of if she had returned but each time there was no good news, she felt helpless.

"Jeez, what happened?" She was shocked as well.

Steadily, Evelyn went to the couch taking her seat, a heavy sigh leaving her lips.

"Evelyn, d... Did he rape you?" She asked tears stinging in her eyes at the thought.

Evelyn saw this and let out a sigh.

She knew how soft hearted Aurora was and she didn't want to hurt her.

"It's nothing. I'm fine" she simply said.

Yes, she was hurt by the way she lost her virginity but she couldn't help but blame herself for causing it upon herself.

If only she hadn't listened to Amelia.

Fuck them!

"Wait, what are you guys talking about?" This time it was Olivia who asked not quite grabbing the gist from their conversation after explaining everything to her, she was able to follow up, her expression stunned.

"Are you sure he didn't touch you against your will? If he did let's go, we will report him to the police" Olivia said creating more reason for Aurora to panic.

"That's enough I'm fine. I'm tired and I want to rest" she said.

"Are you sure about that?" Questioned Olivia for her to nod planting a smile on her lips.

"I am. Trust me okay?" 

It took a while for them to believe her but after they did, they left her to rest.

Through out that day, Evelyn didn't leave for work and instead stayed at home to rest.

She prepared a light food before she slept off again, her mind trying to erase all the memories from last night.

The next day when she woke up,she prepared and left for work.

The main reason she worked here was because she needed the money to surprise Josh with a gift but now she was working for herself.

Thinking about how she would imagine Josh's face when she gifted him the watch and how happy she imagined him to be, she felt ridiculous.

Hours into her work, Josh appeared with a calm expression, she was about to leave when he gently held her sending a tickling sensation down her spine, a feeling she now hated.

Yanking her hand away with force she said "What?!"

Josh seeing her reaction couldn't help but frown but masked it up when he spoke.

"We need to talk"

"I'm busy besides there's nothing to talk about"

"I promise I won't disturb you for the rest of the day. Let's just talk" he pleaded for her to sigh.

"Alright then speak I'm listening" she said avoiding his gesture for her to seat.

"I'm really sorry for what happened yesterday. I know you must be angry but believe me when I said it's the devil's work. I promise I won't have anything to do with Amelia ever again please just forget about it.

Forget it ever happened" he pleaded for her to scoff breaking into a hysterical laughter.

"The devil's work? So it was the devil's work for three good years! You are unbelievable. 

Just so you know, I Evelyn Brooks break up with you" she announced hissing at him.

"I'm pleading please listen to me" he said but she simply walked away not sparing him a glance or even wanting to listen to him.

"Evelyn how dare you walk away! 

You have no right to break up with me. If that's the case I should be the one breaking up with you" his outburst startled her.

From pleading to yelling at her?

She wondered why she never got the chance to see this side of him probably because she was deeply in love with him.

"It Should be but it isn't" she said turning to him.

"If you break up with me, I'll show your lovely aunt and uncle how disgraceful you have become.

Amelia recorded the scenes from last night.

They will see you as a disgrace" he threatened her but she was unfazed and seeing this, he went on.

"Get lost Josh" she said not caring at him or his words.

"Fine then, do you want them to suffer? If you break up with me, I'll pull out my shares from your uncle's company and see how well he will survive without me" 

This part ticked her off, her steps coming to a sudden halt.

Yes, Josh and his parents were the biggest shareholders of her uncle's company, washing their hands off the business meant that it will fall to total doom.

Annoyed she stepped forward taking the half glass of water in her tray and spraying it on him.

His entire outfit was drenched in cold water, his teeth gritted at this.

"You are disgusting. I regret ever meeting you" she said turning on her heels leaving him with a wet outfit.

"Think about it" he said for her to hear.

"Sure you regret it but there's nothing you can do.

You are stuck with me!" He said with certainty.

AT THE UNDER GROUND BASEMENT

A man stood there chained with both hands spread apart.

His wounds which were on the verge of healing reopened when he was whipped terribly, blood oozing out and tears rolling down his cheeks.

His daughter stood by the side simply watching as her father was tortured.

Her hands clutched to the side staring helplessly.

In between her legs leaked red stains of blood but the pain of being raped by six men was nothing compared to the pain of having to watch her father being tortured to his death.

Finally the man for the pain stepped down glancing at both father and daughter with excitement lacing his eyes.

A chair was brought to him which he sat on.

"Please leave my daughter out of this" he cried out to Xander who simply stared at him.

Today he was in a really good mood as he dreamt of the damsel from the night before.

Her body entangled with his and the lovely sound she made were music to his ears.

"Please... I'm really sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't pay you back your money. I'm sorry" he pleaded but his words meant nothing to the man on the chair as he simply stared on.

"So I've heard. You owed me and you tried to flee with your daughter. Such an unwise move there" a hand gesture from him led the man behind him to move to the girl whose eyes were now red from all the tears.

"Please! Don't touch her! Hurt me, hurt me!" Raved the man yelling frantically, chins crackling as he moved.

"Fortunately for you, I'm in a good mood so I will release your daughter but you as for you, I have other plans" he said with a sinical smile.

Just then Gerald moving towards Xander where he bent low whispering something in his ears.

"You have a meeting with Mr Olaf" he uttered for a sigh to leave Xander's lips.

And throwing one last glance at the miserable state of both father and daughter, he stood  leaving the room.

As he walked he glanced at his wrist watch before proceeding towards the black Maybec stood.

Stepping in, Gerald ignited the car's engine driving off leaving dust and tyre marks to trail behind.

Just as they drove off, an exiting figure got the attention of Xander who laid back on the seat, his body at alert as he gazed out the window.

The figure he gazed upon resembled the figure of the girl from last night.

Although she had her back to him, he couldn't help but stare up on her slender figure, memories from last night coming alive, each scene and movement replaying into his head.

Her Jade like skin and hair as soft as silk imbedded into his brain.

From the rear view mirror, Garry stared at his boss who looked out the window towards a group of girls.

His line of sight didn't last long as she was quick to get into the car that stopped before her but on redirecting his gaze back to Xander, he could feel the seriousness aligned in his facials.

"Follow them" he ordered and without hesitation, he did as told trailing behind them.

With each turn the vehicle before them made, Gerald would do the same till finally, the car came to a halt right in front of a shopping mall.

Xander who stared out saw the girl stepping out but she wasn't alone and instead, a hand was wrapped around her waist in an intimate manner.

Her teeth shining at the man who held her.

Xander could feel his blood boiling on the mere sight of this as something deep within gwnawed at him to strip them apart.

His gaze which darkened made Gerald's hair stand on edge.

He too couldn't help but look out to see for himself why his boss was angry but coming in contact with two strangers entering into the mall, a somewhat confused look plastered up his face.

Why was he angry on seeing them walk in?

Xander's gaze darkened by the minute, the tension in the car increasing wanting to suffocate all who was in it.

The girl stepping in suddenly stopped retracing her steps back to the car to bring out her hand bag and it was then her face fully appeared.

She looked nothing like the girl from last night.

Seeing this, the dark clouds that hanged over Xander's head began to vanish leaving nothing but a relaxed expression. 

But when the girl raised her head looking forward, she caught sight of a pair of dark eyes staring at her with such intensity that it froze her in place.

Xander retracted his gaze, his interest on the girl gone like the wind.

"Drive" he ordered Gerald to do as told.

On reaching their destination, which was at a club, there he had his meeting.

"Mr Xander, I'm glad you made it" said Mr Olaf reaching his hand for a handshake only to be ignored by Xander who simply took his seat.

"As you can see, time isn't on my side so out with it" 

At his words, the meeting began, proposals and deals made on the spot.

But towards the ending, Gerald interrupted whispering words into his ears.

"Let him in" he ordered and a man in his fifties stepped in. 

At first he hesitated due to the sight of the other stranger before him contemplating on whether or not to speak in front of them or wait for the other party to be dismissed.

"Spill it" ordered Xander looking a bit impatient.

"I've carried out information about the girl. Here is everything about her. She lived with her uncle and Aunt for a while before moving out and now she is currently leaving with a girl named Olivia.

They are work mates at a restaurant.

And Currently, she is engaged to a man named Josh" he said for Xander to shoot him a glare on hearing the last past of his sentence.

That word 'engaged' didn't rhyme well with him.

"Engaged?" He questioned for him to nod.

"Find out everything you need to know about this Josh" he demanded for him to nod.

Getting hold of the documents he glanced through it, she was a student studying medicine.

She's quite interesting.

While Mr Olaf stared at Xander wondering why he was so interested in girl, he heard Xander speak.

"Interesting. Why don't we pay her a visit" he smiled raising his head to see the girl being pulled away.
