Chapter 20
Jacqueline gasped with the sudden switch of positions and her heart hitched as he brought his face near hers. His hands were at both sides of her body so he literally had her trapped.
Jacqueline's heart thudded in her chest as she thought of ways to get out of the horrible situation she was currently in. Perhaps dying from the cold wasn't a bad idea after all, she shouldn't have helped him.
"I wasn't trying to kiss you, I thought you were cold and so I covered you up. It really wasn't my fault, my hands slipped and then..." Jacqueline gulped down her remaining words as she saw him staring at her darkly.
Her eyes gazed directly into his metallic gray eyes and she felt like he was luring her into a never ending pit of darkness. When she had woken up in the morning, she had never thought of the possibility of being in this man's bedroom and laying underneath him. She cursed her luck sometimes.
"Please… let me go" Jacqueline pleaded softly as her eyes glistened with tears. She was tired, tired of being his amusement toy and everything was making her run mad.
"Let me phrase things this way so you'll understand. Let's say you're a hungry lion and then a little rabbit comes prancing around you, would you let it go or devour it raw?" Alexander asked with the sinister smirk still intact on his lips.
Jacqueline parted her lips to answer but she couldn't, partly because she knew the answer wasn't very favorable to her present condition.
"See, you can't expect anything less from me, I'm no saint," Alexander said seriously.
Jacqueline arched her back and she tried to push Alexander away with both her hands but it was like trying to push a mountain because no matter how much she tried, he didn't even move an inch.
Alexander easily pinned both her hands on top of her head and he easily held her in place with just one hand.
"So fuckin stubborn" Alexander said with a bored expression on his handsome face.
Jacqueline tried extremely hard to break free from his hold but his grip felt like shackles around her wrist. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free. Jacqueline gasped when he buried his face on her neck, his breath fanned her neck, making Jacqueline feel even more dizzy.
"Let's make things more interesting" he whispered in the shell of her ear and Jacqueline's heart raced as she wondered what he had in mind.
"I'll let you go, but.." he drawled and Jacqueline felt her heart momentarily stop beating as she waited for his next words, she hoped he wouldn't give her a punishment that was more embarrassing and precarious than this.
"I'm giving you just one minute to flee to your room, if you don't then….." he smirked sinisterly at the end and Jacqueline didn't need a soothsayer to let her know she would be subjected to a punishment that was far worse than the one she was presently in.
"One minute is enough for me" Jacqueline quickly said before he would change his mind.
Alexander stared at her intensely as mirth danced in his eyes, it felt like he was silently telling her not to do it. He didn't want her to take the golden offer he had placed in front of her, was it another trap? She was more than tired of this psychopath.
"Fine then" Alexander said and he let go of her hands and then he got down from the bed.
Jacqueline quickly rushed out of the bed and without sparing him a second glance, she ran out of the room. Jacqueline quickly rushed to the elevator and she pushed the button on the wall next to the elevator.
The elevator door automatically opened and she quickly got inside, she punched the button on the wall but nothing happened, the elevator door refused to close. The punched the button several times as her heart raced but yet, nothing happened.
She quickly rushed out of the elevator and she headed for the stairs. No! She couldn't let Alexander catch up to her. She ran down the stairs and then she kept running till she reached the staff quarters. She took a quick turn to the corridor that led to her room and she sighed in relief as she approached the door.
Jacqueline placed her hand on the door handle and then, she felt someone pull her by her shoulder and then her back collided with the wall. Jacqueline gasped when she felt Alexander's larger frame hover over her. How on earth did he catch up with her? She had been watching her back as she ran and there was no sight of him, so how? Her fist clenched and she felt like dismantling him, he simply sees her as his toy. He's definitely just using her to pass time. Why won't he let her go? Why won't he let her be? She gets she's like the villain in his story but he started it first. He always finds a way to corner her and no matter how much she tries, he always finds a way to make things go his way. She hated him so much now.
"Not satisfied? Wanna play again?" He asked and Jacqueline held her chest where her heart raced madly.
"Should we go again Jacqueline?" Alexander asked again. "I can give you 5 minutes this time," he said.
Jacqueline nodded and then he let her go, Jacqueline ran away from there and she took several turns, exploring different parts she had never gone to before.
She got to the front of a large double door. She quickly pushed it open and her eyes widened when it took in the beautiful library filled with tall racks that were stacked with books. She quickly shut the door and then she locked it with the key.
She walked over to one of the racks and she hid behind it, there was certainly no way Alexander would find her this time. She kept hiding for sometime and it seemed like he wouldn't be finding her at the library anytime soon. She carefully got out of her hiding spot and that was and that was when she heard the door handle move from outside the library.
Jacqueline quickly ran back to her hiding spot. She held her chest as she heard Alexander continue to turn the handle like he knew it squeezed her heart every time he did and then, the door finally burst open leaving Jacqueline's heart in disarray.
