“Good morning Mrs Cage, your husband asked me to accompany you to the mall!.”. The man said. I feel very awkward being referred to as “Mrs”.
“Ashley !”. I said and I saw the confused look on his face.
“Call me Ashley!.” I stated. He nodded and we went out of the house. Strangely, the house is empty just like yesterday night. In front of the house is the latest Rolls Royce Phantom car. He opened the back seat for me and I entered before he entered the driver’s seat. I look around the interior of the car. I don’t know much about cars but I am sure that this car cost a fortune.
“What is your name?”. I asked him after five minutes of driving.
“Jo!”. He replied.
“Jo? No offense but what sort of name is that?.” I wonder why someone should name their child Jo.
“It’s the short form of Joseph!.” He answered. Wow, like Joseph from the Bible. With all his muscular body and tattoos, he surely doesn't look like Joseph.
“ I understand why you use the short form Jo. You look more like a Jo and not a Joseph!” . I told him and he laughed. After that none of us talked and everywhere became silent again.
“What's his name?.” I asked
“Who?.”
“The man that forced me to marry him. What is his name?. I asked. I refused to refer to him as my husband.
Jo laughed before he answered; “ Don’t forget that he is also the man who saved you from the possibility of being sold into sex slavery! His name is Xander Cage!.”
Xander Cage! The name seems familiar but I don't remember where I heard the name from.
“From the look on your face, you don’t know him do you?.” He asked.
“Well the name seems familiar but I don’t remember where I heard of it.” I honestly answered.
“You must live under a rock then. I thought all the girls in New York worship him. By the way he owns Cage construction and Cage industry and also is the sexiest man of the year!”. Jo introduced me.
Now I remember where I heard his name from. Lisa and Unice are crazy about him. I can’t believe I am married to their ultimate crush. They will be so green with envy.
“We are here Mrs Cage!.” Jo said and got out of the car and opened the door for me.
“You can buy whatever you want! The bills are on Xander!”. Jo happily said.
We entered the store and Jo followed me everywhere. I am very sure it was Xander’s instructions. I will choose an outfit and try it in, then Jo will decide if I should take it or not. Turns out that he is the only boy in his family and had five sisters and so he knows a lot about female fashion. I had fun spending time with Jo. We were almost done with shopping and I needed to act fast.
I excused myself from Jo and told him that I was going to the washroom. I had earlier stuck some clothes to the washroom when I came in earlier. I opened the cabinet under the sink and took out the clothes. A pair of blue jeans, a V neck shirt and a face cap.
I changed into the outfit and went out of the washroom. I use the face cap to cover my face when I pass Jo. I let out a breath when I successfully left the mall without being seen. I am now free! A part of me remembers Xander’s warning about escaping but now I don’t care. I just want to enjoy my moment of freedom.
Since the mall is not far from the central pack, I decided to go there first. I didn’t know how many hours I sat on a bench in the central pack until I felt a hand tap on my shoulders from the back.

Xander’s POV
“Sir, are you listening?.” My secretary called my name to bring me out of my thoughts.
“Sure carry on!.” I replied even though my mind is not here since she started to read the report. I kept thinking of a certain ginger hair girl that seems to affect me more than any other girl. The picture of her standing in nothing except for the lace thong refuses to leave my memory. It took a lot of self control for me not to jump on her when she opened the door. I groaned as I remembered her firmed breast and erected pick nibbles that were calling on me to worship them.
“Sir? Should I come back later?”. My secretary asked when she saw my attention wasn’t on her.
“I am listening, you can..” I started to say before I saw the cut off with my ring. It’s Jo.
“Yes Jo?”, I ask him.
“I am sorry boss, your wife managed to run away from me!.” Jo reported.
“What? How did that happen? Did I give you instructions not to let her out of your side?”. I yelled into the phone.
“I am sorry Boss, she told me that she wanted to use the washroom. She tricked me!.” Jo explained.
“How could you be foolish enough to be tricked by a teenager! Where are you now?.” I asked.
“At the mall near the central park!.”
“Good! Call Ace and ask him to hack into the mall’s camera system. We need to know if she is still in the mall or not. I am on my way!” . I instructed Jo.
“Lucy I need to go, we will continue this later!”. I informed my secretary.
“ I understand sir!”. Lucy said and packed up the files and immediately left the office.
On the elevator ride to the ground floor, I closed Denver and told him to bring the car to the front of the company.
“Where is the boss?.” Denver asked me once I entered the car.
“The mall is close to the central park!.” I informed him. I unbuttoned the three top buttons of my shirt and removed my tie. Damn this girl! If she thinks she will get away from me, she is mistaken. I have been too soft with her. I will show her the consequences of disobeying me once we find her.
I meet Jo standing in front of the mall. Ace had hacked the system of the mall and got us the video. We saw how she hid the clothes in the washroom sink before she came back later and changed into it. That’s why Jo wasn’t able to recognize her.
Since she doesn’t have any money on her, I doubt she will go far. I already have an idea where she will be.
I walk into the central park and looked around. Since it is already dark and on a weekday so the park is empty just a few people present. I saw her sitting at the far end of the park. I walk to her and tapped her on her shoulders. She immediately became strive.
“Stand up and turn around!”. I ordered in a low cold voice.
“Please!”. She pleaded without doing what I asked her.
“I said stand up!!” I yelled and she immediately stood up and turned to look at me. I could see fear in her eyes! Good I need her to know who is the boss here!
“Now, I want to walk to the car. Don’t even try to make a scene or you will regret it!. Do you understand?.” I asked her and she nodded.
We started to walk to the car but as foolish as she was, she saw a police man standing nearby and ran to him before I could stop her.
“Please! Please help me!.” She cried to him. The policeman looked at me and before he could say anything, I removed the gun and shot him on his forehead! Ashley shouted when she saw his body fall next to her.
“Next time it will be you!.” I grabbed her and pushed her into the car.
“Jo called the cleaning team to come and get rid of this fast and make sure they don’t leave a trace!.” I instructed before I entered the car and sat next to the weeping Ashely.
“Denver Drive us to the Amir’s Club. I am going to return this bitch and get back my money. !”. I instructed.
