After few minutes, there was an emergency in the building and the alarms went crazy. All the guards fled from the exit to go and see what was going on, in the worst case scenario it would be fire. Simon wasted no time and as soon as they went away, he dragged Diana to where his car was parked. "Get in!" He blarted out while pushing Diana into the back seat. Diana was resistant and even though her hands were tied up, she used her legs to pull back - Simon punched her neck and pulled her hair. He tried again to push Diana inside the car again, and this time he was successful - then he went to the driver's seat but as soon as he got inside the car, Diana opened the back door and then she started running.
They were at the busiest Avenue especially at night, Diana knew that if she were to be helped then the only way was to run where it was crowded. Simon got out of the car in a hurry and then he looked at Diana racing towards the crowd, crossing the roads as she kept on running. "Shit! Fuck!" He cursed and just looked on because there was nothing he could do now, Diana outsmarted him and he knew if the word reached his brother then he was as good as dead, so he went back to his car and drove away.
Along the way, Diana was photographed by paparazzi and some curious people who wondered why was she running with her mouth taped and hands tied. They say strange things happen in New York, but it couldn't have gotten any weird than seeing a famous lawyer Diana Davis Miller running around the streets. "Do you need help ma'am?" An old man asked Diana. Diana nodded and stopped, then she looked at her back to see if Simon was still after her, she sighed when there was no one at sight.
The old man removed the tape measure from Diana's mouth, and freed her hands. Diana had a moment to breathe and she leaned on the wall.
"What happened?" the old man asked.
Another woman in the crowd added "Were you chased, or kidnapped?"
From there it was just a series of questions from the people wanting to know what happened to Diana. As usual some people were recording the whole thing but they found themselves stripped off their phones when a team of ten men in suits approached them. These were the spies Marcus hired to look after Diana, they wore black suits with black shades and they looked like they played no games. Diana was snatched by one of the guards and covered by a piece of cloth to prevent any paparazzi from taking pictures - she didn't ask any questions and just went away with them.
The scandal of Diana running around the streets tied up and having her mouth taped was the hot topic of the next day's buzz and tabloids. Marcus had retrieved Diana last night and had all her things moved to his house, he wasn't taking any more chances.
Jared and Demi were at a restaurant having breakfast when they heard about what happened to Diana last night. Jared wore blue shorts, and a transparent white shirt with red scarf around his neck, and black snickers. Demi was in a white tracksuit with white snickers, she wasn't feeling glamorous today. The table they sat on had two cappuccinos and three croissants on one plate.
"This is getting out of control. We should go and get her" said Demi.
"Girl what?"
"She's still our friend Jared. I would do the same for you, she was tied up like some fucking submissive..." Demi paused then she sipped the cappuccino and looked at Jared. "This is really bad. It's a call for help" she finished.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, it's a call for help and we need to get her away from that man before he kills her"
Demi kept on surfing on the web, looking on for what happened to Diana last night. But it turns out Demi wasn't the only one worried. Vanessa, Frank and Letitia were also worried. Frank was supposed to prep Glory Johnson but he didn't go, it was Monday morning and they were all hoping to see if Diana will pop into the office and tell them everything that happened last night.
After two hours Diana walked in, she was in a black skirt and white shirt with a coat - so professional and yet so hot with the black heels and today she applied one of Marcus's expensive fragrance and she was smelling heavenly, not to mention she felt like an angel too.
"Diana..." Frank placed a file on top of the table and raced to Diana. He embraced her in a tight hug and then kissed her cheeks. Letitia moved closer to Diana and she hugged her, then Vanessa as if she couldn't still believe what she was seeing, raced to Diana and pulled her in tighter hug. What a moment of relief to Order and Justice Law Firm, they all tried to talk to Diana and wanted to know what really happened but she didn't say anything other than "I'm not in the mood to talk about it, I just want to work now" and then proceeded to her office.
The failure of kidnapping Diana made Simon lose his mind, he wandered around the airport trying to book a flight to Johannesburg as soon as possible before his brother kills him. At that point he realized that Marcus already knew that he attempted to take Diana, hence anything that comes after that it'll just be Marcus trying to do the same thing - kidnaping him and the last thing he needed was to get into Marcus's skin - like last time.
The very first time Simon got a hold of what was it like going against his big brother was when he was nineteen. Marcus was twenty four during this time and he had recently just inherited all the money, but his mental health wasn't stable. He was a drug addict, sex addict, and a completely serial killer. Day after day the number of women Marcus murdered after sex kept increasing, and this time he was living with Simon in the same house. Every morning Marcus's bodyguards would come out of his room carrying a dead body and Simon saw everything that was going on but he never said anything to his brother.
Marcus was a different man back then, he barely smiled or showed any sign of being pleasant or happy, he always had a frown look on his face. He was possessive and dominant, controlling and hurtful. He would tell women to dance the way he wanted and that would be either a lap dance or a pole dance, or to wear a particular costume he chose for them and not otherwise - sometimes he would have five naked women laying down beside the pool just for his pleasure.
To Simon, especially at his late teens during that time, he felt like it was traumatizing for the women and he condemned his brother's actions - yet he never said anything to him because he was scared of him. That was until one day Marcus came home with Simon's ex girlfriend but Marcus never knew that she was his younger brother ex girlfriend - nor did the girl knew that Marcus was Simon's brother.
The girl's name was Sabrina, she was a Desi girl and an Indian native living in New York. Sabrina was a naughty girl, and she wasn't scared to dive deep into waters as long as she gains a new experience although she was just twenty two of age - during that time she was just two years younger than Marcus while two years older than Simon. One day Sabrina met Marcus inside the supermarket, and Marcus's figure alone managed to turn her on and she hit on Marcus without knowing what she was getting to.
"Hey..." Sabrina called out Marcus just when he seemed busy picking up broccolis and snacks. Marcus turned his attention to Sabrina, still he had that frown look on his face.
Marcus replied coldly "Hey"
"Why the long face? You sick?"
"I'm not interested" said Marcus and then he continued strolling around the supermarket. But Sabrina liked challenges, she found Marcus to be her type at that very instant - he was cocky, hard and straightforward.
That day she made sure she got Marcus's number, but Marcus was open with her. "I only fuck, and I fuck hard. I do not date, relationships are dull and I'm not dull. I'm trying to build an empire I can't be distracted right now. You down for just one fuck?" said Marcus looking straight at Sabrina and how could she refuse those bright eyes, and those thick curl hairs which made Marcus even more attractive. The next day Simon saw his ex girlfriend getting inside his brother's room, and he knew that Sabrina wouldn't come out of that room alive hence he erupted like a volcano lava and went after his brother.
