Chapter 4 - Taking His Wife Away

That was Ashley, his new wife, performing in a club wearing such slutty costumes. Well he knew she was a performer at the club that's why he included a clause in the contract that she was to quit her job but here she was performing. Didn't she read the terms of the contract?

Ashley finished her performance with a final pose, a slow deliberate curve of her body.

The audience clapped and cheered with some throwing money at her. Ashley was embarrassed, she had never performed on the main stage before, she's usually among the side dancers or most times the waitress role, with so much attention on her she felt at loss of what to do.

Miss Brianna saw the cash that was been thrown at Ashley and regretted not having her as one of the main performers all this while and now she was leaving, it's really regretful.

Ashley left the stage and went back stage to calm down.

Miss Brianna met Ashley backstage and handed her a bottle of water. Good job Ashley, congratulations on your freedom.

Ashley took the water from her, Thank you Miss Brianna. She was finally free from her debt, this life, this scene, she didn't need to come back here again, she gulped down the water as tears brimmed her eyes.

Is she ready?

Don't worry Mr. Jackson, just go to your suite, she will be sent there shortly, be rest assured.

Ashley had finished removing her accessories and was about removing her makeup but she felt some changes in her body. She felt hot and uncomfortable, Ashley knew once that she has been drugged, it was Miss Brianna, it was a common practice in NN. It has been her rules not to take any opened drink given by someone but just now, she had been too excited. 

No i need to get out of here, She tried standing up but couldn't, her limbs felt weak, Ashley clenched her fist so tightly that her nails dug into her palm and blood came out, the pain made her a bit conscious and she walked out of the room holding onto the wall as support.

Miss Brianna took a guard backstage to go get Ashley but they couldn't find her there. Mr Jackson had already paid her alot of money for her this night, she couldn't afford to lose her. Find her, she couldn't have gone far. The guards divided themselves and started looking for Ashley.

Ashley wasn't properly dressed, she was still wearing her stage dress, Neon Nights was a wolf's den, if anyone was to find out that she was intoxicated then she would really be in danger. Ashley staggered and bumped into someone. 

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...

It's okay. Are your alright? Jason asked moving closer but Ashley moved back and left immediately.

What's wrong with her?

Alex was in the private room still annoyed by Ashley's breach of the contract clause. 

Jason walked in. Dude I just saw the diva that just performed now, she's so beautiful and hot. I think something is wrong with her, many men will be going after her tonight even I am mesmerized but...

You want to have her too??

No…no….just saying, she seems to be drugged.

She's drugged, serves her right.

Alex, you seem to have some animosity towards her, do you like her too?

You wish, Alex said sipping his drink.

Ashley had finally reached her limits, NN was a very big club consisting of private rooms, suites and even an underground secret casino. It was really difficult for her to get out and considering she was half conscious, she didn't even know where she was going, she decided to hide in one of the private rooms in the up floor praying to maybe find a good samaritan which was highly impossible in a place like NN but was caught before she could sneak in.

There she is, catch her, the guards shouted running towards her.

Ashley panicked and stumbled into one of the private room.

Alex and Jason conversation halted when they saw someone enter their room.

Help, please help me out, Ashley pleaded weakly.

Isn't it the performance diva, luck is really on our side this night.

Ashley seems to have heard it , she looked up and saw Alex, was it really him or was she seeing things, she shook her head to shake off the dizziness and confirmed that it was really Alex. Ashley stumbled to his seat and collapsed beside him.

Alex looked at her up close, her face was flushed and red, her boobs were all over as she breathed heavily. How could she wear such a costume. Normally it wouldn't be his business but she's fu*cking married to him even if it was just a contract. He was really angry.

Miss Brianna, we found her but she stepped into a VVIP private room and we couldn't proceed.

You guys are just useless, you can't even catch an intoxicated girl. One of you should come with me to get her.

Soon Miss Brianna entered the private room. Sorry to disturb you gentlemen but one of our staffs entered your room, am here to retrieve her, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.

Ashley heard her and held Alex shirt tightly, no….. don't…. don't let her take me please.

And why shouldn't I? Alex whispered to Ashley's ears leaning close to her.

Jason was surprised, Alex was clearly not interested but now…. This!

Sir, please may I take her?

No you can't, I'm taking her away tonight.

I'm sorry sir, you can't, she….she belongs to someone for the night, you can have her another time. Brianna thought of this to convince him but Alex didn't budge.

Whatever you were paid, charge it to my account ? We'll pay triple the amount, you can't take her away tonight besides the young lady is intoxicated, I can't trust you with her, Jason said.

Brianna knew that they were formidable and they were people who she couldn't afford to offend. She would probably find a way to appease Mr Jackson. Okay sir, sorry for intruding, I will leave her to you, she apologized quickly and left the room.

Dude don't tell me that you are really taking her, you just got married today so you won't possibly cheat on your wedding night.

I'm not like you, Alex said carrying Ashley in his arms, he had already covered her with his jacket. I'm leaving.

Hey! Wait! Alex….. Seriously?

Alex didn't pay attention to him and took Ashley away from the club.

In the car, Ashley was tugging at the jacket trying to remove it. So hot, I feel so hot, she got hold of Alex and pressed her chest on him with her boobs rubbing his shoulders, Alex seemed like an antidote to her poison.

Alex swallowed hard, she's really troublesome, he should have left her there. He didn't believe in love and hated relationships but he was still a straight man and with her like this, he had to control himself.

Ashley got closer to the coldness planting kisses in his neck, help me please, she whimpered.

They finally got to their destination, one of Alex private property. Alex carried her to the bed and tossed her down.
