Chapter 5

Venom POV

During the ball l felt the urge to see Ashley and l had a bad feeling she was in danger so l watched from the tiny camera that l had planted in her dress through my iPad and indeed she was in danger. In front of her was a naked man with an enormous boner. I checked her location and ran to the lady's room. I tried to open the door but it was locked damn it. I knocked the door down and found her standing next to the guy and he wasn't moving. I ran to her and gave her a tight hug.

"Are you ok?"l asked

"I'm fine" she answered

I pushed her away gently and took out my phone. I texted one of my boys to come get rid of him or it, l couldn't tell if he was dead.

I looked at Ashley and she was beautiful as hell.

"Shall we go back to the ball?"l asked

"Sure"she answered

We went back and it was the time for the great dance of the night. She put her hands around my neck and my right hand was on her thin waist then we swiftly moved backwards then forward suddenly we were dancing ever so swiftly.

While dancing , l felt my hand getting warm as if it was in warm water. I checked it and it was red and so was her dress. Shit she was bleeding where l stabbed her luckily she didn't notice so l quickly picked her up bridal style and headed towards the microphone to make an excuse

"Ahh ladies and gentlemen, my fiancé and l need to make a quick exit to discuss our bridal issues (wink), but l promise we'll be back"with that said l ran up the stairs to our room and she passed out on the spot. She was bleeding heavily.God what have l done, l don't like seeing her like this, l'm the cause of her suffering. I took off the dress carefully and took care of the deep cuts l had given her. Then l dressed her up in a shiny red tracksuit and low heeled shoes.

I just watched her sleep 'God is she beautiful when she sleeps'

While l was observing her breath in and out l heard gunshots and screams coming from downstairs. Gosh, what now. I ran down stairs and it was chaos.

Some of my father's recruits were there, l had to protect my sleeping beauty at any cost. I took out my favorite Glock 'a P Tech 11'. I blew some brains up and called for some more backup, just then at the corner of my eye l saw Ashley at the top of the stair case looking down in disbelief

'God what is she doing here , she's supposed to be sleeping'

Ashley POV

We were slow dancing then suddenly l saw Vee's facial expression change. He seemed uneasy and worried then he picked me up and headed for the microphone.' What is this man doing?' During his announcement, l felt dizzy and l held on tight around his neck. He went upstairs and l blacked out on the spot. I woke up in fresh clean clothes wondering what happened. I heard gunshots and thought about Vee then ran to the stair case. My jaw dropped as l looked upon the chaos that was happening. I looked around for Vee and l caught his eye glancing at me which send shivers down my spine. Then l heard someone shout out loud "there's the girl!!" pointing at me

I knew this was not the time to sit and watch, this was the time to hide. I ran back to the bedroom and hid under the bed which was not the best place but hey l work with what l have. I lied there as still as a log making sure to be as quiet as a church mouse. I heard footsteps approaching

"Come out Ashley, we just wanna talk. We won't hurt you in fact we wanna help you, l get the info and you go home it's a win win. What do you say huh?" A man voice spoke as it got closer and closer to the bed. My heart rate was now high and l held my breath to avoid loud breathing.

Just then l heard a loud bang like the door just exploded.

"You stay away from her"another voice said. It was Vee's voice but different and deeper.

"That means she's under the bed" the first male voice said running towards the bed

"I warned you"said Vee and l heard the man scream in pain.

"It's safe now" said Vee and l slowly crawled out from underneath the bed.

I saw the man but he was in bits and pieces like he was chewed up by a bear but to my surprise there was not even a drop of blood on Venom.

"What just happened?" I asked

He came up to me and hugged me tight

"Thank God you're safe" he said as he stung me with a dart and l passed out

I slowly opened my eyes and instantly heard the sound of a helicopter. My head was laying on Venom's laps and l could feel that his eyes were on me.My vision was all distorted. I saw a blurry vision of his eyes and they were crystal pink. 'I'm hallucinating' l thought as l closed my eyes and fell asleep
