Chapter 128 Sub 14

Not taking chances during a lengthy night!

  "Jordan! Can we talk for a minute?!" She asked

I was speechless at the moment, i requested for my fancy and here she is with it. This is tiring, i whispered to myself

  "Did i send for you?" I asked questionably

  "You di..." She began then i interrupted hastily 

  "...You may leave!" I instructed. I hung the towel.

  "Er! I really need to speak with you...you can't say no to this, i promise!" She insisted

  "Goddammit Tiana, i'm not interested! Bluntly!" I was pissed at her. I walked to the bed to sit

  "If you insist! Actually, Jane was on her way to your bedroom then i decided to take it from there, i don't mean something different!" She calmly added. She drew closer to me walking stylishly smiling seductively. The smell of her cologne struck my nose which compelled me to sneeze abruptly then I sneezed again, and again, and again. 

  "Wa..Water!" I stuttered still sneezing intermittently, it felt like my chest would explode.

  "One second!" She added. She reached for the glass of whisky, that was the closest she got.

I gulped it down without hesitation then i calmed gradually while she rubbed my back tenderly, i pushed her away gently but she persisted.

I didn't wish for this moment but the circumstance was i reduced to, rendered me helpless.

  "It's fine now Jordan dear, it's fine!" She added regardless.

It baffled me how quickly i fell drowsy. I was weak and giddy suddenly, it dawned on me that this wasn't whisky alone. I laid on flat on the bed while she struggled to keep my feet as well, she cared less.

  "Tia..Tiana! Can i get some water...like right now...could you.." I tried to speak

  "...Come on Jordan, you'd be fine! You only need to rest and you'd be fine. Lie, now. Relax!" She said, she caressed my face. Inasmuch as i wanted to lift myself up, she'd make me lie back gently. I knew I was in for the worst tonight. I could only think of one thing, giving in to her venomous demands. I held her knuckles then kissed them swiftly, i smiled forcefully. She gave a flirtatious smile.

  "Could you...could you..." I breathed heavily "...how about we...we uhm...cuddle in the shower, what do you think?!" I tried to coax her, she was indignant. She rolled her eyes instead. Maybe she figured i was pulling her legs, i cautioned myself. The more seconds hastened, the weaker i became; my vision turned blurry while my eyes flickered lazily.

  "Oh Jordan, it feels like tonight was made for me." 

She blurted in content, that smirk jeopardised me even more.

  "Shower!!" I snapped "Let's cuddle in the shower, can we?" I demanded with a forceful smile.

  "Alright! Catch me if you can, my love!" She ran her fingers through my chest. She stylishly started in the direction of the bathroom shoving off the strap on her gown. I smiled again. Her gown fell to the ground, when swayed to her left and right arching her back then walked into the bathroom. That was a hell of seduction right there but i was focused on leaving the room not staying. I heard the shower running, i rolled forcefully until i dropped to the floor. I lifted my body to stand erect, i grabbed my cell phone that was on the table's surface then staggered my way to the door. I placed my hand on the door knowing as she interrupted almost screaming.

  "I'm waiting on you, honey!"

I ignored. I turned it but unfortunately, it was locked. I was devastated whilst i panted breathlessly. I turned to the drawer because i remembered the spares. I took it out. My legs quivered until i fell to the ground. I laid flat for a few seconds then reached for the chair which served as an assistance, i struggled to lift myself up again. I staggered to the door again and  there! She appeared in disappointment, her eyes decorated hate; she felt betrayed while i tried to avoid a scandal under my room, with a white towel wrapped around her chest.

I tried to tuck the key into the keyhole yet mybhabd shivered, I was unstable.

  "Did you try to fool me, Jordan? Did you?" She asked sternly "How dare you toy with my emotions, i was ready to give everything...the whole of me..." 

I ignored her again. She groaned in anger as she/reached for the little vase beside the wall. She threw it at my direction while I dodged. The grabbed on the second vase on the shelf starting binbny way, finally the door opened and that was the moment she threw the vase at me again but it smashed onto the hardened door. I locked the door outwardly while she banged on the door numerous.

  "Let me out, Jordan! Let me out...You'd regret this..." She yelled on top of her voice.

I rested my back against the door sitting on the cold floor because i was drenched in exhaustion until my vision blurred into the dark, finally. 

I flashes of light hovered around me. I opened my eyes as tge blinding lights blinded my eyes at that moment. I used my hand to obstruct the light then i  stood up slowly, Jane ran to me instantly and gave me a hug then she whispered into my right ear

  "She called the cops on you, I'll let your parents know wh..." 

A man dragged her away from me, then i realized that they were three policemen standing before me.

  "Miss, I'd suggest you stay off or you'd be held under our custody for violating the law!"

The policemen turned to me just a few inches while i stood still trying to come off my giddiness into a sober and conscious state.

  "Mr Jordan Kareem Khaleefa, you are under arrest for attempted murder and rape..." One of them stated duly and sternly

  "...What the hell is that? What murder? What rape?" I questioned, my senses had returned to my body. 

  "Put your hands behind your head, turn around slowly..." He instructed. I couldn't defend or say a word to them so I obeyed without reproach. The same cop took out his cuffs, i heard it clinking. He approached pressing me against the door abruptly. He searched my pockets and phone and Wallet. "Don't try to resist me or the law, it's crazy how esteemed men like you are caught lacking." He blurted, i could only get angry and not say a word.

My hands were clutched, he moved me to the side as another copvgad access to the door because the key hung in the hole.

I was surprised at the first thing i saw. Tiana had bruises on her hands and face, her dress was ripped apart, her hair was unkempt, our bedroom was in disarray. She curled up beside the bed with her head buried between her knees. Did she make all that up, i asked underneath my breath. He ran to her to rescue her like she was in danger, heard him ask if she was ok.

I was ushered down the stairs while Jane followed  from behind sobbing already. 

  "Call my parents, Jane, do not hesitate. Please!" Instructed calmly

  "Of course sir, i will." She ran to the telephone in the living room while we made our towards the exit. We headed for one of the police cars which were two. My home was turned into a crime scene, i wondered whast on earth Tiana told the cops aside murder and rape, it felt like i closed and opened my eyes to a whole breath world full of trouble and despair.

He was about to tuck my head into the car then a car pulled over, i resisted to see who it was. Yeesha hopped out of the car running towards us with a confused look on her face.

  "Kareem!!!" She called out. "Officer, he did nothing! My brother has nothing to do with whatsoever you are holding him for." She defensively added.

  "Ma'am, if you have anything to say then come with you to the station..." The cop said 

  "You are sick! You'd pay for this, duly!" Yeesha flared.

  "Ye...Yeesha?! Keep calm, I'll be fine! Call my lawyer...like right now...please!" I blurted out too

The policeman tucked my head into car then i sat, he closed the door. He took the driver's seat, started tge engine then we sped away.

Who would have imagined that I'd ever get nabbed this way. I was accused of something i had no idea about. Literally, tiana tried to rape me whether or not i wanted it, she drugged my whiskey and that was how it began. She wanted me wasted before she could proceed with her plans while i tried as hard as possible to secure me first. 

He was staring at me through the rear glass with a smirk on his face.

  "Did you have to try to take her life after a dirty and unforgiving scandal?" He asked then chuckled "Wealthy men these days do have a funny way of expressing themselves. To the public, you are a perfect man and in your home, you're unbelievable. I mean you are not just a tycoon wrapped around the black-men in black suits gut you're also a marriage activist.... Won't you say something?!! Huh?" He mocked

  "I wouldn't say a word without my lawyer so lick my ass, cop!" I blurted out disrespectfully just like what he did seconds ago

  "Well be prepared to die for disrespectimg the cop and the law!" He  added seriously and turned away.

I didn't move a skin because i was certain that sooner or later I'd be out of their custody. I consoled myself.

I was locked in the interrogation room with a cop guarding outside also conversing with other cops, i looked around the white four walls yet it seemed void except for the see through security glass through which i could see them. A tall neat!y shaved detective walked in then closed the door behind him, he came along with a black file bag. He sat before me staring at me intensely. He had no reason to stare at me that way when my hands have been glued to the metallic table. He cleared his throat.

  "Mr Jordan, I am Detective Chris Tallman..." He began. I can see why he's tall enough, his genetics has emerged his surname to make more appropriate. "I'll be investigating this case. Hours earlier, a woman from your residence called our line stating that she's been raped and almost killed. Our team rushed to your residence to confirm and there, the victim was right. What must have conspired between you two? You can not rape a woman and still try to kill her to defend your cause to come transparent, can i hear your side of the story? Are you guilty or not?" He stopped

  "I'm not saying a word until I've seen my lawyer!" I answered confidently

  "Well, Mr Jordan its been over an hour and your lawyer not family are here to provide one. We can provide one..."

  "I wouldn't say a word until I've seen my lawyer, is that also a crime?" I asked

  "Mind your language around here, Mr Jordan! I guess we'd see you first thing in the morning! Stasy put!" He said but that sounded more like sarcasm.

He stormed out with a smirk. No one seemed to come through, not even Yeesha, whom i spoke with last. I can't blame anyone for landing me into this mess, if I had told Gia or my friends or my parents just maybe i wouldn't go through all of this. I regret and curse the day i met Tiana at the bar, trying to satisfy my pleasure, it transmigrated into a whole new phase if pain and betrayal.

If i ever let my hands on Tiana, I'd kill her, i told myself.
