Taken By The Arrogant Billionaire

Jared entered the company, ignoring every greeting that came his way.

He proceeded into his personal elevator, then to his office.

He was surprised when he couldn’t find his coffee at the ready.

Sitting gingerly, Jared rang her, but he received no response. He had no choice but to go outside and check.

She wasn’t in her office. He pursed his lips.

“Any problem sir?” Kathy asked, snapping him out of his thoughts.

“Have you seen Miss Gardner today”

Kathy slowly shook her head.

“No sir”

Without saying anymore, he left for his office. He called Will immediately.

“Come to my office” he hung up.

Will appeared in a minute.

“Did she call you?” Will looked clueless.

“Who?”

“Valerie”

“No, she didn’t. Why do you ask?”

“She hasn’t arrived yet”

“Maybe she will arrive late. I’ll check what is going on” he said and headed for the door. However, he stopped when his hand was close to the knob.

“What is it?” Jared asked, when he noticed Will had become still.

Will walked back.

“I don’t know if I should tell you this”

“Just say it” Jared said, impatient.

Will went ahead and narrated everything that happened the day before.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Jared’s veins were already bulging, and his eyes were bloodshot, by the time Will finished speaking.

“That son of a bitch” he ground out. He had noticed the bastard staring at Valerie on that day.

“You have five minutes to find out what is going on”

“Okay boss” Will walked out, briskly.

Jared tried to control his anger while waiting for Will. Even if the man had nothing to do with this, he was definitely going to pay for staring at her for long.

Will returned, looking glum.

“What did you find?”

“It’s true, boss. Sawyer took her”

Jared shot up from his seat and stormed out as Will tried to keep up with him.

“I want his address immediately” he barked.

He got into the car while Will sat beside the driver, staring intently at his tablet.

“To Primrose hotel” Will said while Jared clenched his fist.

It looks like the man didn’t want his life anymore.

They arrived at a luxury hotel which costs thousands of dollars per night and barged Into the reception.

************

Valerie receded as Mr Sawyer walked towards her, staring at her like a predator.

“Stay back” she said.

They were the only ones in the room. His bodyguards were outside. He suddenly carried her and threw her on the bed, eliciting screams from her. She tried pushing, but he was too big for her.

He climbed on her and tore her clothes apart. She continued screaming, and he slapped her hard across the face. There was a heavy ring on one of his fingers, which caused a gash in her skin. He brought his mouth close to hers, repulsing her so much that she fainted. But he didn’t care. Just as his lips were about to touch hers, the door was flung open.

Mr Sawyer sucked in a deep breath of annoyance.

He looked back, ready to lash out at the person, but froze when he realized who it was.

“President Smith?” He blinked, to be sure he wasn’t seeing things.

Jared’s previously bloodshot eyes became even more bloodshot. He rushed at him, pushing him off her, as Mr Sawyer hit his head against the wall in the process.

Jared became scared when he saw her unmoving body. He ran towards her and felt her pulse. He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized she was still breathing. He took off his overcoat and covered her.

Mr Sawyer slowly stood up, his face scrunched up in pain. He touched the injured place and was mad to see blood on his hand. His expression quickly changed to that of anger.

“President Smith, what is the meaning of this?” He asked, angrily.

His company was not as big and successful as the Smith Industries, but his company was still well-known. And he was acquaintances with the grandfather of this boy, who was old enough to be his son.

Jared looked up slowly, looking murderous, almost maniac.

A chill ran down the spine of everybody present. Mr Sawyer looked away, not knowing when Jared came towards him and landed two heavy punches.

“This is for staring at her”

Another punch.

“This…. is for abducting her”

He then punched him severally, not stopping.

“This is for laying those filthy hands on her” He continued with the assault.

Will tried to look for a way to stop Jared from killing him, not like anyone would query him, but the poor guy looked like he could not hold up anymore.

“Boss, I think Miss Gardner should be taken to the hospital ASAP”

Jared’s hand stopped midair. He pushed Sawyer to the ground and carried Valerie out, ignoring the bodyguards sprawled on the floor.

Will did not follow immediately, he stretched out his hand to the bloodied and battered man who grunted in pain.

Sawyer brought his hand forward, thinking Will wanted to help him up.

In response, Will slapped his hand away.

“The phone” he demanded.

“What?” Sawyer asked, not understanding what he meant.

Will proceeded to search the man roughly and found Valerie’s phone. He smiled at Sawyer and left the room.

“Bastards” Sawyer said weakly. “You will regret this”

Outside, Jared entered the car with Valerie, who was still unconscious.

“Where to, boss?”

“The hospital”

Will didn’t ask anymore, he already knew

where.

She was taken to the largest hospital in the city, Belmont hospital, owned by Jared’s friend. On arrival, she was immediately wheeled into the Emergency room.

Will and Jared waited outside.

“Will” He called.

“Yes boss”

Why did he feel he knew what his boss was about to say?

“Take care of him” Jared commanded coldly.

“Got it, boss”

Looks like Sawyer was not going to be spared. Will remembered something.

“Ha, boss. We should contact her friends. They would be worried”

Jared only nodded.

Sandy sat on her bed, with her Laptop, looking for Job vacancies when she received a call. Valerie’s name was displayed on the screen.

“Val. Where on earth are you? You had us worried sick. When…”

“Hello ma’am” A deep male voice sounded.

Sandy stared at the phone screen to be certain it was Valerie’s number. It was.

“Who are you?”

Will ignored the question.

“Your friend has been admitted to an hospital and…..”

“What!” Sandy screamed, hurting Will’s ears.
