Chapter 13: The Anniversary Party 2

Anna's POV

"Who....who are you?" I asked right now I'm really scared,the man stood in front of me with his hands in his pocket, I couldn't see his face because it is dark and the light in the garden is dimmed. "Does that matter? You are not allowed to marry my son,stay away from him you gold digger" the man growled. Wait he said his son? Is he Raymond's father? "Dad I really love Raymond, you got things wrong dad" I said trying to calm myself down, "Shut up you slut,you even forced him to give you his Fashion House are you not ashamed of yourself? Sleeping with a man to get his property is not something a lady should do,is that what your mother taught you?" The man said coldly,I couldn't help but cry silently,how cold is he?

He doesn't even know my mother,how can he insult her like that? Mom I'm sorry for letting him insult you, "How much do you want? I will give you and you will leave my son alone" the man said, "I don't want anything,I really love Raymond and nothing can separate us. And yes, don't you dare insult my parents,I'm trying to respect you just because you are Raymond's father." I said and turned back trying to leave as soon as possible,but the man pulled me back and slapped me hard across my face,"That is for talking back" the man said and slapped me hard again, "The only daughter in law I approve is Ava not you gold digger" he said and pushed me hard on the floor and walked away.

I can taste blood in my mouth,does that really matter now,my torn lips does not matter right now. I can't tell Raymond this,he might think I'm lieing against his father or he might hate his father,I curled up and cried hard.

Back to the Party

Raymond was chatting with various guests, the guests are chatting in groups, "Miss Felisha,I heard your have business grand opening next month, please send me an invitation card" one man said, "Sure I will definitely invite you" The lady said, "I can't believe Raymond is taken,I really want to cry" another lady said, "thank God ladies can finally date us" another man said and they all giggled. Raymond moved from one guest to another, "Oh there you are Mr. Quin" A man in his late forties said, "Hello Mr. Aaron I'm glad you made it to my party tonight" Raymond replied as he picked a glass of wine from the waiter, "I'm glad I came, congratulations on your engagement, we can finally have the ladies to ourselves" the man said and chuckled. "About the China investment should we talk about it tommorow?" Raymond said, "Yes,is that an appointment?"Mr. Aaron asked.

"Yes it is an appointment" Raymond replied, Derrick came and whispered into Raymond's ear, "Your father is in the party and Miss Allison is missing", Raymond frowned. "I have something urgent to attend to,if you will excuse me" Raymond said, "How did he get inside? I don't remember sending him an invitation card, what about that Jake boy?" Raymond asked on their way to the control room, "Well we are unable to arrest him" Derrick replied. "We have to find Anna first" Raymond said as they walked into the office. "How can we help you sir?" One of the staff in the control room said. "I need the footage of today's party,I'm looking for my girlfriend" Raymond said. The staff started clicking on the keyboard and moving the mouse, "She was last seen walking inside the garden" the staff said showing Raymond the footage of Anna walking into the garden.

Raymond walked out of the control room, he started feeling strange and hot, "Derrick is there no A.C in this area?" Raymond asked,"There is sir and it is working perfectly well" Derrick replied. "Go and see how things are going in the party,bring Chloe home". "Yes sir " Derrick said and walked towards the hall. Raymond walked into the garden,he found Anna,she sat on the bench calmly staring at nothing. "Anna are you okay?" Raymond asked and he suddenly feel excited and horny. Raymond tried hard to control himself, "am I drugged?" He asked himself. "Raymond is that you?" Anna asked, Anna's face is now bruised because of the slaps and also when she was thrown on the floor she hit her face on the floor. "I'm okay,let's go home, are you okay?" Raymond asked with concern. "Yes I'm okay,I'm fine" Anna said she bit her lips to control her tears, Raymond hugged her he could feel her emotions. He knows she is sad and hurt, but his inner desire made the hug feel like Anna is seducing him, he pulled out of the hug and hold Anna's hand as they walk out of the garden.

Raymond remember what Ava said to him earlier, he must protect Anna at all cost. He also have to gather all evidence against Ava as soon as possible so that Anna can live peacefully. He carried Anna in a bridal style as the walk towards the parking lot,his hands started trembling, he hissed. "Raymond are you okay? Why are you sweating? You hands are shaking too" Anna asked as he placed her gently in the car, "I'm okay Anna" Raymond replied as he cupped her face. He frowned seeing how bruised her face is, "Anna who did this to you?" Raymond asked fiercely, "No one, I only slipped and fell " Anna replied nervously, "Do you want me to check the security camera?" Raymond asked. "Well it is not painful at all don't worry about it" Anna said trying to avoid the topic but Raymond is not taking it lightly nor letting the matter go. "I asked you who?" Raymond shouted, he couldn't control himself again the effect of the drug is really affecting him.

Raymond's face is now pale but Anna didn't see it because she is looking down, "I'm fine really don't worry about it, I also took care of the person" Anna said, Raymond grabbed her and kissed her roughly, Anna felt Raymond is not himself, he use to kiss her gently and passionately what happened this time? Is it because he is angry with her? Anna wondered and asked herself but she couldn't get the answer, she allowed him to vent all his anger on her, she felt blood oozing into her mouth, the driver couldn't help but give a small cough, this was not part of his job description, watching them kissing. Raymond withdrew from the kiss, he regret doing this to Anna, the temperature in the car rose, Raymond's face turned white as the drug is very powerful,the drug has destroyed all his self control, his other member is now ready to take action,he glanced at Anna and he tried to control himself.

Raymond wants to make her first night special and he doesn't want to hurt or scare her,he is under the influence of drug, Raymond tried to recall who might have drugged him. "Drive fast I need to get home as soon as possible" Raymond said and the driver increased the speed, Anna tried to touch him but he slapped her hands away, "Stay away from me" he said gritting his teeth,as soon as the reach home, Raymond carried Anna on his shoulder and walked into the elevator, the elevator seems slow to him. He jumped out of the elevator as soon as they reached their floor, he walked as fast as possible to the bedroom, he threw Anna on the bed recklessly and jumped on her.

"Raymond..... Ahhhhhhh.... You are hurting me" Anna cried as he ripped off her gown, he bit her neck leaving red hickeys on her white skin, but Raymond didn't listen to her, Raymond is now a beast that has been starved for months, he continue to bit her all over her body, "Raymond please let me go, I will not lie to you again, please you are hurting me" Anna cried, "No I will not let you go, I want you right now" Raymond growled as he ripped her bra, he started biting her medium size breast, "ahhhhhhh... it's really painful Raymond" Anna cried, this time Raymond heard her and he stopped everything he was doing. He realized what he has done, even though the drug is really torturing him, "I'm really sorry Anna,I think someone drugged me " Raymond said as he ran inside the bathroom, he filled the bath tub with cold water,he reduced the temperature in the bathroom to the lowest,he dipped himself inside the bath tub,the water is freezing him and there is no sign the drug effect is reducing.

As long as Anna did not cry he will do anything to make her happy, he closed his eyes and he recalled how Anna cried, he is an asshole he made her cry. When someone is drugged with aphodistic the best method if one does not want to have sex is staying in cold temperature for a very long time but the method is slow if the amount taken is much and it will result in the person catching cold. But the drug Raymond was given is not an ordinary aphodistic,it is a newly developed drug and it is very strong,it only wear out after 48 hours and if the person drugged did not take the remedy or have sex he might really die.

The Quintessential Palace

VIP Room 034

Ava and Mr. Mackenzie laid on the king size bed In each other arms, "Thank you for teaching that bitch a lesson for me, I saw how you slapped her hard" Ava said smiled, "Anything for you dear as long as you don't request to get married to me, I will make sure you get married to my son" Mr. Mackenzie said ruffling Ava's hair,"What if Raymond does not love me? And that bitch is pregnant,she also have a daughter" Ava said,"No it's not possible, Raymond doesn't have a child, and she can't be pregnant" Mr. Mackenzie exclaimed,he also finds it hard to believe, "It is sad but true,what will you do now?" Ava asked,"Well I will order him to leave the girl" Mr. Mackenzie said firmly.

Raymond's father Mackenzie Paul and Jenifer Quin married because of the marriage was arranged by their families after Paul raped Jenifer, Jennifer's family,the Quin's are the most powerful family not only China but in world at that time, Jenifer is the only child of her parents and also the heiress of the Quin. Paul's family business was going down so he had to accept the marriage to help his family. He pretended he is in love with Jenifer to convince her family. Paul later planned to kill Jennifer's parents so that the properties will be handed over to Jenifer as soon as possible,he tried so many times but luck seems to be on their side but he never stop trying, nine years later he was able to kill Jennifer's parents in a planned road accident. As at that time, Raymond is nine years old the properties were handed over to Jenifer but unknowingly to Paul, Jenifer transfered all the properties to Raymond and he won't be able to transfer it to anyone until he is eighteen.

Paul didn't know all these until the day he asked Jenifer to handover the properties,when he discovered all he did was in vain he got angry and started showing his real self. He will come home drunk,and hit Jenifer,as Raymond grow up he witness all these he couldn't do anything because his father will hit him anytime he wants to defend his mother. Paul came back home one day after signing alliance with his best friend, "Jenifer! Raymond! " Paul called out, Jenifer and Raymond came out of their rooms,Paul was smiling he seems to be in a good mood that day, "Well let's have family dinner" Paul announced. "If I may ask,any special occasion?" Jenifer asked, "Well I signed alliance with my friend to get his daughter and Raymond married" Paul said smiling,"NO" Jenifer and Raymond shouted in unison,"No I won't allow that, I got into this unfortunate married because of this bullshit about arrange marriage. My son will marry the one he loves" Jenifer said firmly. "You dare refute me?" Paul growled angrily. He pinched Jenifer and Jenifer fell down hitting her head on the staircase, "Mom! Mom!! Mom!!!" Raymond said shaking Jenifer as blood ooze out of her head. "Mom stay with me, please don't leave me" Raymond continue to shake Jenifer,he stood up and walked towards Paul, Raymond looked really scary even though he is just 16,"Look at what you've done to her,she is lying on the floor" Raymond gave Paul a punch,he vent all his anger on Paul by kicking him.

Raymond returned to Jenifer,he picked his mother up and rushed outside. He got to the hospital in a taxi, Jenifer was rushed into the operating room, Jenifer was in coma for a year,by the time she woke up Raymond is 17, "My son you've grown taller, and more handsome. I missed you,where is your father?" Jenifer asked, "I missed you too mom, don't mention that man again,you guys are divorcing you, while you were lieing on this cold bed he is enjoying his life with his side chicks." Raymond said angrily, he went through so much during the period of one year and the first thing his mother will ask is that animal Paul. Jenifer sighed she also wanted to get a divorce but her parents last wish was for to stay with Paul to save their family name.

"My son I can't do this it will break your grandparent's heart in heaven" Jenifer said in tears,she did not want the marriage also but there is nothing she can do atleast for Raymond's sake. After Jenifer was discharged,things still remain the same, because Jenifer was unable to take care of her family company while she was in coma,Paul stole Quin's company secrets,at that time Quin's only invested in Technology,when Jenifer discovered what Paul did she had an heart attack,she was rushed to the hospital and later she died but the doctors couldn't get the source of her death.

Raymond blamed Paul and let home, he promised his mother to bring Quin back,he also changed his surname to Quin from Mackenzie. Raymond met Mike after he left home,Mike treated Raymond like a brother. He paid Raymond's school fees in college even though he works at a small private hospital at that time. Raymond studied hard and passed out of the college in flying colors,he started business at age nineteen before his final exams so as to help Mike with bills and now he is the most successful CEO, he invested in Mike's research center, and now Mac Tech is no longer at the top five Technology companies because Raymond made sure he destroy his father to revenge his mother.

Back to present day

After Ava satisfied Paul,she left the hotel, Ava didn't know her roommates she's in trouble or what her roommate has done,she got home and went straight to her room. She showered and lie on the bed,she tossed and rolled she couldn't get any sleep. She poundered on what she should do to Anna,she decided to call her father to inform him, her father is Paul's best friend and he is more vicious but he won't answer her because she couldn't get Raymond. She should do what she did to Raymond's mother to Raymond,when she met Raymond's father in her house, he showed interest in her even though she is a minor,her father encourage her to take the big fish instead of fingerlings. Raymond's father took her virginity at seventeen, when she asked him to marry her,he refused because he loves his wife. She and father planned to kill Raymond's mother since she doesn't want to allow her marriage contract with Raymond, without Raymond's mother she will be able to get Raymond or Mr. Mackenzie,but after her death she couldn't get any of them,what an irony.

Anna's POV

After Raymond's father left,I adjusted my face and hair Raymond must not see me like this,I want to calm myself down before going back inside but Raymond came to pick me, Raymond started acting weird, I thought it was because he is angry but his body started shaking and he is really hot,I tried to ask him but he was not himself. When he confronted me about my face,I didn't give him answer but he got hyper angry and kissed me roughly in front of the driver, I feel really ashamed of myself,I tried to hold him but he pushed hands away. When we got home,he dragged me out of the car and carried me on his shoulder, his grip was so tight that my waist started aching me,the moment we arrived our bedroom, Raymond threw me on the bed,I hit my head against the board but he didn't care. He pounced on me,he tore my gown and started biting me,at this moment I know Raymond is not himself,I cried out in pain. I tried to endure but it is really painful.

Raymond stood up, "I'm really sorry, I think someone drugged me" he said and entered the bathroom,I didn't hear any sound after thirty minutes. Is he alright? It's too late to call Mike, I opened my purse and turn on my phone, I decided to call Mike, a strange number call entered,I picked the call immediately, "Haahaaahaaaa how is your dear fiance? Did he destroy your baby? Haaaahaaaaahaaaaa" the other person laughed out,this voice sounds really familiar,this is Jake..... Is it really Jake? "Jake what do you want? And if he destroyed my baby how does it concern you? It is none of your business" I said and hung up, "Mike please help, Raymond was drugged" I said as soon as as Mike picked up,"Can you you bring him to my research center? I will send the ambulance now","okay thank you"I said and changed my clothes,"Raymond please come out,the ambulance is the way" I said as knock but I didn't get any response,I barged in. Raymond sat in the tub with his eyes closed and sweats covered his face. I shook him but his body is stiff,I managed to drag him out of the tub after draining the water. Mike's ambulance came and they help me carry him after I wore a bathrobe for him.

Mike was waiting at the reception, immediately we entered,he was taken to the emergency room, "I've not come across this type of aphodistic before and making antidote will take time,I gave him a drug that will surpress the pain. Raymond fought the drug so as not to harm you and that has a very bad effect on him,I will call other doctors I know if they can get any remedy for him." Mike explained. "Mike I know where I can get the antidote,Jake drugged him,I will go and meet him" I replied and left the room. I called the number again, "What now Mrs. CEO, you need my help?" Jake said,"Cut the crap, where can we meet? Bring the antidote with you and I will give you whatever you want" I said firmly,"Ok then,come to the address I will send to you alone. Don't even think of playing games like what you did in the rain" Jake said. "Deal " I said and hung up, I hailed a cab as soon as I got the address.

I got to the desolate address he sent,the street is dark and empty, I saw the hospital in the address, the hospital seems to be an abandoned hospital,very stuffy. "Welcome Anna long time my dear" Jake said, "Well what do you want,I will give you anything as long as you give me antidote" I replied sharply. "Well I don't want anything much,I want you" Jake replied,"You must be crazy,I don't have time" I scoffed,"Then your Raymond will die" Jake said as he play with the brown bottle in his hands. I need to do something, Raymond is running out of time, I moved closer to Jake, I tried my best to look seductive enough,"Jake I want you too,I miss you" I said as I kissed him, "Hmmmmmm.... Anna you are now naughty" Jake said as he smiled. "What do you think?" I said as I rub his broad chest, I walked around and picked up the rope on the floor,I kissed him again,I used the rope to tie him to the chair, "I like BDSM babe" I said and he smiled,I tied is legs and arms tightly to the chair.

Well I think I can have the antidote now, I snatched the bottle away from him, "What are you doing? Untie me" Jake said, "Well goodnight" I said and turned to leave, "Someone is coming for you" Jake said. I ran out of the hospital in haste, "Miss. Allison please be careful" I heard a familiar voice caution,I turned back and it was Derrick,"What are you doing here?" I asked,"Mr Adam asked us to follow you,the driver will drive you to the hospital,we take care of Jake,thank you for helping us arrest him" Derrick said and gave me a slight bow. I entered the car and urged the driver to drive faster. I rushed into Mike's office on getting to the hospital. "I got the antidote" I said as I enter,"wow you are really fast" Mike said as he put the bottle on a tray,"How is he?" I asked,"He is fine,he is a fighter" Mike replied,he did some stuffs,"I checked it is the antidote,let's go" Mike said and picked few tools. The antidote was injected into Raymond's body but his face is still pale, I asked for towel and cold water as he is burning up. I dipped the towel into the water,squeezed it and use it to wipe his body.

Mark's POV

I opened my eyes slightly,I feel better I will find the person that drugged me, but why am I not in the tub? This looks like Mike's ward room. I tried to get up but a tiny hand gripped my hand tightly. I looked down and I saw Anna she is sleeping,she stayed in this position for how long? I removed the towel from hand and placed her gently on the bed with me, her face is still bruised,not only fingerprints but teeth marks,who dare do this to my girl. Scenes from last night started rushing in,I checked her neck,hands,legs and my teeth marks filled her body. I really hurt her yesterday will she forgive me? I hate myself for doing this to her, her white skin is now pink with her pale face, I decided to go visit Mike he will help me beg her.

"My little brother is awake? " Mike said without shifting his face away from the document he is reading. "Did you see Anna? I'm a really bad person,she must be disappointed" I said, "Not at all,she knows you were drugged. She even went to get the antidote from Jake" Mike said, I feel relieved even though I'm still guilty. "Doctor Adam can I come in" I heard Derrick say, "Come in" Mike replied. "Good morning sir, master you are awake" Derrick said as he bowed,"Well why are you here?" I replied. "I arrested Jake and Jessica, they are yet to talk, but I figured out something about Miss Ava,but I don't know how to say it sir" Derrick said looking down,"spit it out" I ordered. "Miss Ava and Mr. Mackenzie have been meeting at Quintessential for years now,seems like they are seeing each other. Jake also stayed at Miss. Ava's apartment for months now" Derrick said. Now I see the reason my dad is at my party,"I see dig more,there is more to this" I replied him and dismissed him.

"Wow your dad is not only a beast,he is an asshole" Mile said, "Mike someone bullied Anna,do you think it's my dad? She was slapped" I said,"We can't be sure, maybe you should ask her" Mike replied,"She is not telling me " I replied, "Maybe Marie can help" Mike replied. "Really, thank you bro. What should I do to Ava and my dad?" I said. "Let's find evidence first,we can decide then" Mike replied. I will protect Anna from any harm,I owe her my life. I went back to my ward room, Anna was looking for me. "Anna I'm here" I announced as soon as I enter.

"You scared me,how are you feeling now? I'm really sorry about what Jake did to you" Anna said looking down,"Don't be sorry,I'm the one that is sorry, I really hurt you yesterday, please forgive me" I said and embraced her, "It is fine Raymond,you also tried to fight it" Anna replied. "Marie is looking for you,you will find her in office" I said. "Ok wait for me,we have so many things to talk about" Anna said and left. "Send Ava here as soon as possible" I said on phone to Derrick, few minutes later Anna came in, her face is gloomy, looks like she cried alot. "Anna are you okay? I'm really sorry for causing you pain" I said as I embraced her. "I'm fine Raymond, please don't worry about me" Anna replied.

"Master Miss. Ava is here, should I bring her in?" Derrick asked,"Of course she is my highly respected guest" I replied,and she entered with two of my men. She looked at Anna with disgust,"Don't look at Mrs. CEO like that, sit down" I said,"I'm sorry boss,why are you here? Are you okay boss?" Ava asked,"Well your dog bite me,how come my personal assistant did not train her dog well?" I replied. "Well..... Boss I never raise a dog,I don't even like dogs, please can you explain sir?" Ava said with confusion written all over her face. "You don't have to worry about that, I called you here to warn you, don't do anything that will get me angry, I'm not merciful to traitors. Also you should train the new guy,he is the new Personal Assistant,you will go and head California branch" I said, "Boss why do you want to change me? I worked for you for five years,you can't toss me away" Ava replied. "I have to change you as I will be getting married soon and I don't like to upset my wife, and I never mentioned anything about tossing you away. You should handle the California branch. I regret letting a female stay with me for five years." I replied. "Anna this is all your fault" Ava shouted and attacked Anna fiercly.

Anna slapped her hard,"Ava you are the one causing me trouble here,You are the coward here, five years is not even enough for you to win over a man. Don't you dare try to hurt me again,I'm always two steps ahead of you and I'm dangerous when angry,get that into your skull. Derrick take her away I don't want to see her face" Anna said and pushed Ava. Right now I'm really proud of Anna. "I'm sorry babe, I didn't mean to upset you" I said. "It's fine babe,you are a fool for not treating her fuck up early" Anna replied. "Alright babe I'm sorry, what do you want to discuss with me?" I said. "Raymond what I want say is really sad but I don't know if you will hate me after I say this." Anna said. "I promise to always love you babe" I said and kissed her. "Well I met your father last night,he said I am a gold digger,he even insulted my mother. When I talked back,he slapped me two times,your father does not like me, I know you won't believe me but I'm really saying the truth" Anna explained. That man always making life difficult for me,he killed my mom and now he is attacking my wife.

I pulled Anna in my embrace and kissed her forehead and tears away, "I believe you babe and he doesn't have to like you. He has nothing to do with us believe me,I will teach him a lesson for hitting you" I said.

Dear readers, thank you for reading this chapter,I'm really sorry for the slow release of chapters.
