CHAPTER 141: WITH ME OR AGAINST ME

I stared unbelievably at Pamela, who visibly appeared like she had lost her senses and sanity. Here I am worrying and in tremendous mental turmoil, while she had the guts to laugh carelessly, as if she doesn’t own a bit of worry in her pocket. She kept on laughing crazily and cursing profoundly at the same time. 

“What? What’s funny? Have you watched the live broadcast?” 

“No.” She crazily uttered in an instant. Her eyes were starting to be filled with crystal beads. 

“Then why did you react that way as if you already knew about it?” 

Just like how she suddenly burst into laughter, her face instantly became nonchalant and quietly walked back to her seat and did her very best to recompose herself. 

“It’s because this wasn’t the first time that they did what they have done.” I was startled at what she declared, which made me lean forward, both elbows steadily laying on the tabletop. 

“Huh? What did you say?” 

“Penelope’s father was murder and in order to know the whereabouts of the culprit, she let herself be aired on national TV, which was broadcasted worldwide. She placed a bounty over the culprit’s head, which led them in finding the woman who deliberately killed her father. And now, they did it once again. The same move that made her father’s murder case closed and led them to solving it victoriously.” 

“You mean to say that this wasn’t the first time? That they gave a huge amount before in order to capture her father’s murderer?” 

“Yes! Now if my head is still functioning accurately and I am at my normal state of mind, the reason why her fiance was at the broadcasting network was because they gave an ultimatum to Michelle’s abductors, and that would be you to be precise. Either they gave you a last chance to return Michelle to them or they crowned you already with a huge amount of bounty, where no man would ever dare to neglect. Now which of the two?”

“Both of them. Lewis White announced that Penelope’s daughter must be returned by tomorrow before dawn, if we still want to have the money.”

“And if not?” 

I sigh exhaustedly. “Or every single penny, that thousand million dollars will be given to whoever can lead them to me.”

“Fuck! All of it? They will hand all of the money to the one who can help them find you?” 

“Yes, all of it.” I watched her intently. Her face abruptly turned ashen and tiny beads started to form on her forehead. I waited for her to say something, but minutes had passed by, not a single word escaped her mouth. “Now, let’s clear one thing here, Pamela. Are you still with me? Or not? Because if you are, then I promise you, just as what I promised Marcus, we will get out of this shithole alive and not empty handed. But if not, you and your lover will both rot in hell, because I will do everything to have my money, whatever it takes and whoever comes my way.” 

My last words obviously shook her, which made me smirk. Between the two of us, she knew what I am capable of. She knew I could kill them, both Michael and her, as they are inside my premises. Now it’s just up to her to choose the right path, and I hope she would be smart enough to choose me over that loser fiance of hers. I came to like Pamela, especially the moment I tasted her body and her sweet nectar. I never like anyone else, but her, apart from my lawful wife and it will be a shame if she decides to still go with Michael even though she knew that it was a bad decision and she will be on the losing end. 

“Shit,” She whispered under her breath that further widened my grin.

“The clock is ticking, Pamela, you got to give me an answer now. So what would it be? Are you with me or against me?” I gradually stand and walk towards her, stopping behind her. Then my body leaned closer to her, letting my face be an inch away from her ear and my hands covering both of her mounds. “Choose, Pamela. What would it be?” I gently utter before sucking her soft flesh and began kneading her proud mounds. I put pressure molding her breasts, moving my hands in circles that later on rewarded me with a deep and gratifyingly music-like moan. “I guess that’s a yes. Is it, Sweetheart?” 

She didn’t say a word, but her head automatically nodded, which made me laugh wickedly before completely claiming her lips with savageness and full of desire. 

***

I had no other option, but to agree with Ivar. His choices weren’t that hard to analyze. I will die and gain nothing if I chose Michael, because I am certain that Ivar would kill the both of us and have the money all to himself. As much as I wish to save Michael, because I am still in love with him, I love myself more and I value my dear life above anyone else in this world. 

‘I’m terribly sorry, Michael, I love you so much, but our situation led me to my drastic decision. I just wish time will heal all the pain I will be causing you, I’m sorry, my love.’

“So what will we do now?” 

“I want you to lure Michael and have sex with him this evening. Keep him preoccupied and make sure that he will have the time of his life. Drain his energy, that way he wouldn’t have the energy to even get out of bed. Prolong the intercourse, so Dennis can have enough time to get the child and drive her back to their home.” 

“What will happen to Michael afterwards?” My words falter with extreme fright for Michael’s sake. 

“Oh don’t worry, my dear mistress, no harm will come his way. You can have my word with it.” 

“Once Dennis had the money, what then?” 

“We will leave this place, you and I, and be far from here.” 

“And Michael? What about him?” 

“I will tell you the answer once we’re out of here.” 

“Do you swear not to hurt him, Ivar?” He swiftly moved in front of me and kneeled, grabbing my hand before responding.

“I swear, Pamela. He wouldn’t be hurt, by me or by my men.” He raised his right hand, as if he was taking an oath at the court of justice.

“I will hold unto your word, Ivar. Once you break your promise, I swear to all the gods, I’ll find a way to kill you. I will make sure I kill you with my bare hands.” 

“The only killing that you will do to me, my addictive and enticing mistress, is by killing me with extreme pleasure and erotic climax. Because by the time we have our money and leave this place, you will warm my bed everyday and night.” And with that, he swiftly lifted my body and walked towards his bed, where I already knew what the outcome would be.
