Chapter 69 Locked In

“But why lock me up? I didn’t do anything wrong, and I didn’t betray you. Why are you doing this to me? Can’t you be reasonable?” Daniel protested.

“Didn’t I make it clear yesterday? Until we resolve Justin’s situation, you’re not to leave the house. This mansion has food and a gym. If you need anything else, just tell me, and I’ll get it for you. In the coming days, which might turn into a couple of weeks, you are not to step foot outside this door! If you disobey and sneak out, I will break your legs!” Jessica’s face was stern, her tone serious.

She thought this was the only way to keep Daniel out of trouble. After all, he had taken on Justin for TMO, for her. She couldn’t let Daniel risk any danger because of it.

“Even if you break my legs, I have to get out,” Daniel muttered.

“What did you say?”

“I said, your wish is my command! If you want me to stay, I’ll stay. And if I do leave, feel free to break my

legs!”

“Well, then, it’s settled. You better stay put! I’ve already thought of a way to sort out the Black Panther Club issue. Until I’ve handled everything, you’re not to make anything worse.”

“Honey, what’s your plan?”

“Don’t call me ‘Honey! If you do it again, I’ll tape your mouth shut!”

‘Jessica, what is this solution you’re talking about, anyway?”

“I’m not telling you!”

With a curt reply, Jessica elegantly turned on her heels and left in her high heels.

She didn’t want to keep Daniel in the dark about her plan; the problem was she didn’t have one yet. For now, she needed to ensure Daniel’s safety, and then she would figure things out.

Watching Jessica walk away, her hips swaying enticingly, Daniel felt an urge to give her a firm swat on the behind. She dared to lock him in with chains, and Daniel wanted to make it clear who was the boss in this

house.

With the front door locked tight, Daniel knew he could only leave if he found someone to cut the chain. However, since the mansion belonged to Jessica, which in a way made it his property too, he didn’t want to damage his own things. So, he went up to the second–floor balcony.

It was only about ten feet from the balcony to the ground, and with an agile jump, Daniel easily leaped down.

Jessica had taken the Palamera, so Daniel had to walk out of The Matthews‘ estate and hall a cab to the Hood Club. As the new chairman of Martial Club United, he didn’t want to waste his time on club affairs, preferring to let Ryan, the acting chairman, handle the Black Panther Club issue.

The Hood Club wasn’t due to open until nine, and with some time to kill, Daniel grabbed some breakfast.

After eating, he made his way to the club, only to find its doors firmly shut.

What was going on?

Daniel took out his phone and called Ryan.

“Chairman Daniel, hello!”

“Don’t call me chairman. I don’t want the title.”

“Okay, Daniel!”

“Where are you?”

“I’m on my way to TMO.”

“On your way to TMO? What for?”

“This is something for Martial Club United. I’ll report back to you once I’ve handled it.”

With that, Ryan hung up.
