chapter 37

The next day, Laura sneaked out of the bed with Mason's phone, he was still fast asleep and so she saw it as an opportunity to make a call for help.She dialed Alex's number luckily Mason had it, the phone rang for the first time but there was no reply, the second time still no reply. On the third ring, the call was answered but before she could mutter a word, a large hand covered her mouth and another seized the phone from her hand."Hello Don" Mason answered"Hello Mason, how can I be of help to you?" Alex asked from the other side of the phone."Can I speak to Laura? I want to invite both her and Sandra for a little outing" Laura struggled to shout but the large hand on her mouth muffled all the sounds."I have no time for your nonsense, my woman is busy and you better stay away from her" Alex disconnected the call."Why did you do that? I wanted to talk to Alex, why did you stop me?" She yelled. The next second, a tight slap in the face was what she received from Mason.He held her neck and pinned her to the wall "the next time you pull such a stunt, I am going to do worst, slapping you is going to be the least thing I'll do." He yelled at her making her shiver."You are mine Laura, you belong to no one but me, I own you know so get that into your thick skull" Laura struggled to free herself from his tight hold on her neck but it was hard. Mason finally let go when her face turned red.She coughed and huffed for air, his fingermark had formed a perfect neck chain on her delicate neck."Clean yourself up and come down for breakfast, you better hurry before I do it for you, do you understand?" He yelled at her again"Yes Ma..ma..Mason" she stammered, before going out of the bathroom, he forcefully kissed her lips, Laura tried pushing him away from her but he was tough.He left after having a taste of her luscious lips. The poor girl crawled to the marble floor and cried hugging herself. She wants to go back, she wants to go back to Alex, he was never like this with her.He never hits her unless she does something bad, his punishments were always pleasurable, she had to admit that the leather whip he always used on her used to bring her pleasure."Please safe me Mason, I don't want to stay here, I want you only you" she sobbedAfter cleaning herself up, she went downstairs for breakfast. Mason smiled at her like he didn't hit her a few minutes ago in the bathroom. She quietly sat down and watched the maids serve her breakfast, she had no appetite to eat but had no choice but to shove the food into her mouth and send it down her belly, it tasted like chalk."I'm done" she whispered, Mason, hummed. When he saw the hideous purple marks on her neck, he frowned."You see what you made me do? I hurt you and it's all your fault. If you listen to me, I promise not to ever hurt you like that again." He touched the marks making her hiss in pain."Come, I'll apply some ointment on your injured neck" he took her to the room, applied the ointment and he took the advantage to massage her neck."I'll be going out for a while, he good" he kissed her cheeks and left after taking a shower.The moment he left the house, Laura took it as an opportunity to escape, she tried it at Alex's house but it was futile but it doesn't mean it won't work here.She looked outside the window, there were no guards outside the window and the fence wasn't too high, she can scale it.She took duvets and bedsheets, tied them together then to the bed. Quietly she climbed down the window, she successfully got down from the huge building.Barefooted she walked to the fence and climbed it, she was as quiet as the wind. She successfully jumped out of the fence but she didn't celebrate just yet, she ran like the grim reaper was chasing her, her little legs ran nonstop.Stones tried to hinder her movement but like the saying goes pattern never surrenders. She ran till she got to the main road, there was nowhere else to go, she didn't know the road to Alex's house from here.Alex left his house going in search of his woman, he had an idea of where she might be and heaven hold him if his suspicions are true. His car moved with speed like he owned the road.When he got to the main road, his driver had to stop because of the traffic light, he wanted to tell him to keep going but a lost figure caught his attention.She was barefoot, she looked like her breathing was not normal like she has been running, she wore nothing but a shirt on her body exposing her sexy legs to the world.Mason had just gotten to the maid road after finishing the thirty minutes business deal he had when his phone rang, his maid told him that their guest escaped through the window.He wouldn't have believed it if he didn't see the lost soul standing all alone and helplessly, he gritted his teeth in anger, it looks like she is trying to test his patience.Both men got down from their cars at opposite angles, they walk past the ground of pedestrians who were giving Laura a strange look. Both of them got to her  on time and each held her hand."How did you get here?" They asked in sync before looking at each other and realizing that both of them were holding her.Alex pulled her away from Mason, and Laura hugged him and burst into tears, she didn't know how to feel or how to express what she felt so her tears did the talking.Alex's hands turned to a fist when he saw the hideous marks on her neck and cheek. "Who hurt you?" He asked in a low and dangerous voice which sent a shiver down her spine...
