I Am A Man Of My Word
Julia's eyes were going around the room, trying to understand where she was and why. She pushed herself to sit up on the bed. Her eyes quickly moved towards the direction of the door when she heard a door creaking sound, and it was followed by the door opening slowly. She kept her gaze on the door, wondering who was going to enter.
The door flew open, and a familiar figure entered the room, closing the door and standing in front of it. Julia gasped in shock and pushed herself backwards on the bed. She fell to the floor as she failed to notice the full length of the bed.
"Hello Julia, I told you I would find you and I did," came James's voice. "I am a man of my word," he added.
"Please let me go," Julia begged, recalling what James had done to her the times he had found her alone.
"Awww, why do you want to leave so soon? I just got here," teased James. "Hey, don't you want to experience another superhero scene?" he teased and walked towards her.
Still, on the floor, Julia pushed herself backwards till her back hit the wall and, using the wall as support, she got up and moved towards the side, not sure where she was running to.
"Where are you going to hide? There is no bathroom here," James said, smiling. "Well, I learned a lesson from the last time, so I decided to put you in a room with no bathroom," he said.
"What do you want from me?" Julia managed to ask, even though she already knew his answer.
James stopped and looked at her questioningly.
"Don't tell me you don't know," James said with an eyebrow raised. "Okay, since you don't know, I will tell you. I am here for you," he said, and started walking towards Julia again, clearing the way to the door.
Julia made a beeline for the door, making James laugh at her. She opened the door intending to run away from him but found two men standing behind it. She froze, staring at the two men.
"Now, where did you think you were going?" James asked, and Julia turned to face him terrified.
James signals the men behind Julia, and one of them grabs her. Her mouth was quickly covered with a cloth. Julia struggled briefly and passed out.
"Knowing my brother, I am sure there is a tracker on her phone," James said.
"Sir, should we destroy it?" asked one of his men.
"No, leave it in this room and take her to my car. I would buy myself some time with it," James instructed, and the men did as he requested.
The two men took Julia out of the room and put her in the back seat of James' car. James stayed back and looked around the room, ensuring he had not left anything that would make Jason suspect him. He had left Florida for Mexico but took a trip to Croydon when he saw Jason in the news landing his new company a contract with the Borison brothers. He had come for Julia as he had an unfinished business with her. He got into the car and pulled Julia into his arms.
"To my hotel," James instructed, and he placed Julia's head on his shoulders. Positioning her like they are a couple.
In James's arms, Julia looked like a delicate flower. He admired her face. Something about her attracted him to her. Julia was not among the class of women he would usually go for. He had a preference for rich bad girls and Julia was a home girl. He stared at her face, already feeling aroused by her. James lifted Julia's head with one hand and, with the other wrapped around her, he kissed her lips in her unconscious state. The driver, seeing what was happening behind him from the rear-view, closed the divide.
"I am just fulfilling my promise to you," James whispered against Julia's lips and kissed her lips again, slipping his hand under her clothes and fondling her chest.
They soon arrived at the hotel and James carried Julia out of the car, wrapping her in his jacket as he walked towards his hotel room. One of his security men grabbed his key from the reception and went ahead of him. He opened the door for him once they were there and handed the key to James before returning to their room down the hall.
James placed Julia on the bed and, getting his flying ties from the wardrobe, he tied her hands to the bed and sat on the sofa drinking a glass of wine, waiting for her to wake up. He would have had his way with her in the car but wanted her to wake up first. It would be fun that way was the thought he had in mind.
Meanwhile, just like James had rightly guessed, Julia's phone had a tracker on it. Jason didn't take James's threat lightly and hence thought of a way to protect Julia. This was what informed his decision to put the tracker on her without even her knowing it.
Jason and Peter arrived at the building. Parking the car in a safe place, they both went inside. It was an empty building. They went up the stairs following the tracking device and entered the room. Jason found Julia's phone on the bed.
"Fuck!" Jason cursed.
Peter looked around the room, but Jason's eyes caught something shiny. He walked towards it, and it was Julia's earring.
"Sir, do you think James took her?" Peter questioned.
"Yes, the phone was deliberately left behind because James knew it had a tracker installed," Jason said.
"Did Ms Julia know you put a tracker on her phone?" Peter asked, and Jason shook his head in a 'no'.
"Don't worry, her phone is not the only thing with a tracker. Let's go," Jason said, and they went back downstairs and sat in the car. Jason gave Peter the next destination.
After a couple of minutes' drive, they arrived at a hotel and Peter was wondering what they were going to do in the hotel.
Some time back, Jason would have sat in the car and sent his guards just to avoid the media, but that is not the case in Croydon. He put on a baseball cap just in case. They both entered the hotel and surveyed the environment. The reception had a big hall, and it appeared the second receptionist had left, leaving just one person behind the counter.
"Julia, is here," Jason said to Peter, and Peter immediately recalled his earlier statement that her phone was not the only thing that had a tracker on it.
Jason looked at Peter, and he knew exactly what he meant. Peter quickly proceeded to the receptionist.
"Hello gorgeous, would you do me the honour of telling me what room you have available and the cost for a person like me," asked Peter with a charming smile.
"Sure, we have standard rooms, executive rooms and, for someone like you, the presidential suite. We have three such rooms in this building. It comes with room service. There are rooms meant for our VIP guests," she explained with a smile.
"And what are the prices?" Peter asked and she shifted her gaze to the laptop.
Jason seized the opportunity, moved to the elevator, and entered as soon as it opened for some people to step out. Inside, he pressed the button for the second floor, looking at where the tracker dot was showing on his phone. He arrived at the floor and saw a waitress holding a tray of food. When he got close, he realized from his phone that it was where Julia was. He moved down the hall and waited for the waitress to leave, and he returned to the door and knocked.
James thought it was the waitress who had returned, so he opened the door without looking and came face to face with Jason.
"Hello brother," said Jason and a huge blow landed on James's face, making him fall flat on his back and covering his nose with both hands.
"You bastard, you hit me," James complained and received a kick on the side, but James's two men entered the room.
They both advanced towards Jason, but he quickly spun around, kicking them both with his leg. They both fell to the ground. Jason positioned himself to fight them as James remained on the floor holding his bleeding nose. One of them got up and advanced towards Jason. Jason gave him a double kick with one jump, sending him flying and landing on the sofa. The other man also got up and came onto Jason. Jason kicked him like a football, crushing him into the table. They both got up and advanced towards Jason. Jason jumped into the air and kicked both of them at the same time. He landed as if he had spring in his leg. He jumped again, and spun himself, kicking both in the neck. They both fell to the ground unable to get up again.
Jason turned to see Julia tied up to the bed half naked. He frowned and advanced towards his brother but stopped in his truck and Julia screamed in horror.
James was sitting on the floor with a gun in hand, pointing at Jason.
