HÖRNY BOSS

Chapter 23

🔞 JACKSON 🔞

I paced around my compound as I talked to someone over the phone. Tim played with his pet around the carport as Max cleaned the cars up.

"Please, keep an eye on her door in particular and get back to me if you find anything suspicious. Remember that you will be rewarded handsomely if you do a good job," I said in a final tone and ended the call.

When I inserted the phone into my pocket, I noticed that my fingers were shaking. I raised it to my face for a closer observation. My fingers are literally dancing and I know why.

I'm afraid. What if she does something stupid? Why didn't I think about it before yelling at her like that and abandoning her?! She could write a suicide note and…

No! I can't think about such things. Vera won't even go there. She still has a long way to go in life and I'm willing to show her what she's missing if only she would give me a chance!

Many what ifs popped into my head as I stared at my fingers. I quickly curled them up and pushed my hands into my pockets. In two seconds, I felt my palm was wet and I know that I'm getting cold feet.

"She had better not do anything stupid!" I grumbled.

I hurriedly ran inside to take my car keys so I could go back to her house. When I ran back outside, she was standing at the gate and Tim was running towards her.

I stopped in my tracks and watched her smile and hug him. She waved at Max and told Tim to stay back while she talked to me. He obeyed and hesitantly went back to playing with his pet.

When she came closer to me, I almost threw caution to the winds and hugged her, but I forced my hands to obey me.

I opened the door for her to go in before I followed her inside. She stood up as if she's in a hurry.

"Aren't you gonna sit down?" I asked calmly. Being stern didn't work well earlier and I hate to make her cry again. It tears my heart into shreds.

"I'm fine. I have contacted my lawyer and I just want you to do the same because I have decided to take this to court. Also, keep it in mind that I am going to abort…"

"I bet you would need evidence to show them how brutal I am which makes you want to avoid me!" I cut her off as I closed the space between us.

"What are you trying to do?" She quivered.

"You will find out soon," I swept her feet off the ground before she realized what I was about to do.

I carried her into my room and shut the door behind us. When I threw her on top of the bed, she sprang up and moved away from my reach.

"Jack, not today, please…" 

"There's a secret camera in this room, it would be enough evidence to get me into prison if that's what you want!" I caught her legs and pinned her down in the bed.

She kicked, spat on my face and punched on my chest so I would let her go, but I caught her hands and pinned it over her head, and used my free hand to rip her clothes apart.

"Jackson, please!" She screamed.

That weakened me and at the same time awakened the beast in me. My hand flew up to strike her, but I didn't know why I held it back when my eyes merged with her tearful eyes.

How can she be tormenting me like this? I jumped down from the bed and vented my anger on the wall. I punched the walls as I howled.

"Fine! Do whatever you want! If you want to abort the pregnancy, go ahead! If you want to leave, go on and leave! If you want to jump into an ocean, dive in without hesitation, I don't give a damn about you anymore!"
