Chapter 3

Alex POV

I was so happy yesterday that I get to close the deal I have been working for so long. I decided to have a fun night out with my buddies which turned out to be quite eventful. No one ever raised a hand on me. She could have just said no or something else. Such a feral woman. But I will tame her and that is a promise to myself.

It was Saturday. So, it was no office day. Not so much difference for me as I don't go to the office so much. I have people for almost every work. Even I hired a C.E.O for my company. His name is Jacob. He is 42, very smart and could be trusted. And right now, he was briefing me on some marketing reports and everything that was happening in the business for the past five days on a video chat. 
"I get that you can rest now. Have a good weekend." I motioned him to stop talking.

He passed me a smile and I cut the video call. Calling Simon who works for me as my right hand, I loosened my tie. He works for me and is supposed to carry out anything which I told him to do.

"Hey, Simon. I expect you to find a certain girl who left the Hellies last night around 11 pm. And I want a detailed report on her" I skipped the greeting and just come to the point. 
"Anything else. More specific about her, Sir," he asked, 

"She was wearing some black hoodies. Her name is Jane may be. Have dark brown hair, black eyes and if you didn't find her in 12 hours, never show your face to me. She stole something from me and I want my revenge." I almost snapped at him. 
"Consider it done, Boss." He assured.

Well, this is what I like about him. It was not like that he was going to do it alone. He has a team of almost six people who are skilled to do almost anything. And besides Simon have his connections almost everywhere. One of the many reasons that I hired him and pays him a fortune.

I scratched my neck harshly. So, it was stinging again. I need something to put my mind off of it. Because this girl was turning me into something else. But I know one thing for sure that everything new starts just like this. Then I acquire that thing, use that to my likeness and get bored. And this is perfect. This is how my life works. 
I called my chauffeur to get my car ready and left for the casino.

Gambling is one thing that can only distract me from that girl right now. 
It was after so long that I decided to play because most of the time I just come to this place, greets people and spent time in my office. And I won every single game again. This is who I am. I was feeling this urge to show all this to that girl.

I was not forgetting the way she looked at me. She looked at me like I was some crap. I don't want that frown on her face ever. I want her to look at me with respect, fear, lust, and love. I want her to adorn me. Like I am the only thing she wants. I like it when pretty women love me and yearn for me. Soon kitten soon. Soon I will be the only thing you will want.

Jane's POV

I spent my whole day cleaning my apartment as I didn't have a lot to do. There were only two sessions that I take on my tutoring websites given it was Saturday and students were not seeking much help.

It was 5:45 pm when I decided to make a quick run for some groceries and came back at 6:30 pm. I made some cheese Macronies for me and ate it while watching my favorite show named "what would you do?"
After that, I cleaned my kitchen top. And start working on my amination videos, give the reply to the questions asked in the comment section of my posts. When I first started this blog I never thought that it will be this famous but somehow things worked out for the better. Today I had 67k followers. It was just 8 pm when I start feeling sleepy.

I wrapped all the things and made my bed. But when I tried to sleep I was not able to sleep. I grab my cell logged into my f.b and search for Paul's profile. There were pics of him with his daughter and Amanda. His daughter was healthy and he was holding him. They were standing in the store. There were videos of his daughter when she started walking and talking. He was having a good life. Yea, good for him. This could be us only if I was not barren. It was all my fault. Maybe my parents are right that I pushed him to the edge too. A lone tear fell from my eyes. I was never good for anything.

I switched off the lights and set my alarm as tomorrow was Sunday and I never miss the Sunday morning prayers.

Alex POV.

It was 10 pm when I was going back to my place. I was looking at my cell phone when a message appeared telling me that I get a response from Simon. He sent me a file having details about some Jane Monroe. The file had three pages but the first thing that I looked for was her address. I owned that apartment building a while ago but not now. I ordered my driver to take me to the same address. And got busy reading other unimportant and boring stuff.

Jane's POV

I woke up and look at my Alarm clock and it was 7:15 am. Well, that's weird because I set my alarm for 6:30 am. I take my dress out of the cupboard and place it on my bed. I have two dresses for formal occasions. One is black and the other one is a beige in color and I mostly wear them on Sundays. I hurriedly jumped into the shower because I didn't want to be late for the sermons. In only 15 mins, I walked out wearing my white bathrobe. After being done with the hairdryer, I was about to apply some moisturizer when I heard a knock on the door. I look through the peephole and it was Carol. I opened the door, didn't wait for her to come in and just get into my bedroom to get ready.
