Her body trembled as she saw Jericho staring coldly at her. He wore a hoodie.
How did he know she was here? Why would he come here? So many questions ran through her mind. She gulped and looked away.
"Alicia, i think I'm in trouble. Jericho is here. He's going to kill me when we get home." Nina panicked.
What if he knows what she told Alicia?
"The leader is here? Where?" She tried to look back but Nina stopped her.
"Don't look back. See, just go. I don't want to put you into trouble. Just go back to class carefully." She told Alicia.
"Seriously, I can't believe you're so afraid of him."
"I should be. Don't you know who he is?" Nina's eyes never left Jericho.
Alicia was so eager to turn back and see who the guy Jericho is. She gently stood up from her seat and traced Nina's gaze.
He saw h
Chapter 9Nina got into the second car with Jericho while the boys took the first car. Her heart skipped so many times.What's waiting for her at home? She heaved a sigh which made Jericho stared at her.He watched her for some seconds. His eyes roamed slowly on her body. Her brown hair was long, brown eyes and perfect lips.Her lips were plump and kissable. He shook her head slowly and looked away. He shouldn't be imagining what it feels to kiss her.No, he shouldn't.They got home and came down from the car. He walked inside and hastened his steps to his room.Nina on the other hand, walked slowly, dragging her feet on the tiles. She got to Jericho's door and glanced.Should she go in or not? No. He didn't ask her to come in now. Nina gulped and sat on her bed just as she got to her room."What's my fate right now?" She asked herself.
Oh! She shouldn't have been Jericho's slave. She'd make her life miserable. She doesn't want to see any other girl apart from her alone.She belongs to Jericho. No one else. She owns him. She only can tame him, take care of him and love him. Not Nina.Wait! How did she become Jericho's slave? Huh?She got to the bed and grabbed Nina by hair, waking her up with her horrible voice."Bitch!" She yelled."Hey! Will you stop that and stop grabbing my hair." Nina snapped and yanked her hand off her hair.What the hell? Why will she grab her hair like that? Just like that? No, she doesn't take nonsense from people."You're Jericho's slave? Since when did he start having slave? And how that f*ck did you get into his life?"Stacey fired, glaring hard at Nina who care less."You should ask him that question amd not me. He has the reason for making his slav
"Had an accident?" Nina asked shocked. "How come?""I don't know. All I heard was that, he was coming over to your place and there he had an accident. That's all. His injury isn't that serious.""Thank goodness. At least he didn't die." Nina said, so relieved."Yeah."The teacher walked in and began teaching them. It took hours cause it was double period and the class was getting bored.The teacher decided to make an announcement. "There will be a fashion show coming up next week. So, Nina, Alicia, Salome and Tabitha will be going for the show. More details when next i come to class." The teacher said and packed up her things before leaving the class.It was time for break and everyone ran out if the lecture room. Salome walked gingerly to where Nina and Alicia was."I'm sure you're gonna fail like the last time."
"Find him!" He fired immediately.Jericho got up from the swivel chair he stood on and ordered the guards to quickly get the car ready.He really needed to take that guy.Nina gasped, her mouth hung opened as she stared at him."My father?" She repeated.Without hesitating, she took the phone from him and quickly placed it on her ear. "Father?" She spoke softly."Nina!" The voice rang out. It was trembling."Dad," Nina said as she fight back the tears that was trying to come out."Why did you leave me? Where are you? Why did you do this to me?" She blurted out different questions.If only she could see him face to face. She really wanna speak so many words to his face. He really hurt her so much. Her father had made her suffer for what she didn't do.What the hell?"Nina, I'm sorry but i want you to believe that I will
"Where's he?" Jericho's voice came out like a grunt."I don't know what you're talking about?" She seems not to understand. The guy or his father? Which of them is he talking about?She winced when she felt her cheek being pinched. She knows she's going to suffer. Really going to suffer."You want to tell me lies? Tell me where he is? The guy that gave you the phone to speak to your father? Or rather tell me where your father is? You're going to regret it of you don't tell me." Jericho snarled, moving his hand to her neck and down her chest which he pressed the breast so roughly."I..I...don't know where he is. I seriously don't know. My father only said, he might not be able to reach me again. Thats all. He didn't tell me where he is." Nina spoke truthfully but Jericho wasn't buying it."You want to lie to me!! Tell me the truth and I will leave you. But if you don't, you won't be able to bear it."
Nina's eyes went wide opened. She wasn't expecting what came out from Jericho's mouth.Three days in the torture room with only a meal throughout the day? Maybe she didn't hear him well. Just maybe.Her eyes watered, tears threatened to fall but she was holding them back. But it just for while.She kept thinking of her father. A father in his right sense will never watch his daughter suffer.She wished that all this will be over soon.Jericho got into one of the rooms where he do take meetings with the boys.The boys greeted him politely as he walked to the huge chair in front of them and sat down."Daniel, did you find the exact location?" He asked.Some Italians had threatened them by killing two of Jericho's men and he needs to treat them dangerously and roughly."Yes, they are hiding in Crest savanna forest." Daniel answered diligently."Okay, You'll be going with just 10 men with you. Pick them and wait for me
Jericho threw the phone away and stormed out of the room in anger."Daniel!!!" He yelled.In a second, Daniel appeared in front of him."What's it master?" He asked."Steven called and told me the warehouse has been burnt down and it took about ten people's lives. Arrgh! Mario is daring. Really daring me!! Get the boys ready." Jericho seethed and sent Daniel away.He knew this is Mario's work. An Italian. He did it and he's really going to pay for it.Stacey came running when she heard him yelling. She knew something was wrong."Jericho, are you okay? You look so angry. Why are you like this?" She questioned, trying to make him tell her what happened.But instead, Jericho said, "Stacey, if you love your life right now, take your things and leave now. You need to go back to school anyway." Jericho responded."What's happening? If I leave what about that b*tch!? Is she leaving?""It's non of your business, Stacey. Just
Nina was getting dizzy before she could take a step, she fainted.*Hours later, Jericho took a sip from his glass of wine and placed it back on the table before facing the Dell laptop in front of him."Master, you have a call." One of the boys caught his attention. He collected the phone and smirked at the caller."Did you love the message I sent to you?" He said, playfully and licked his plump lips."You devil!! How dare you!?" Mario, the leader of the Italian gang snarled.If only Mario was there, they'd put up a fight."You know I'm a devil?" Jericho laughed and licked his lips the second time again. "Why are you hiding?""I'm not, okay!? You're a bastard and you should know that!""Hey! You better watch your mouth or I shut it for you. Get that!?" Jericho fired. He was so angry with the statement Mario used.If only he was there with him too. He'd punch him in the face till blood comes out of hi
