Chapter 32
He climbed on the bed and noticed Dawn was already fast asleep.
*******
When Dawn woke up, she stretched her hand to the side of the bed but felt nothing. She had plans to wake up on time to see Stephan leave but after what they had done last night she felt really weak and sleepy. She heard a light knock on the door.
"It's me Sarah."
"Come in."
Sarah walked in still in her pyjamas and smiled at her.
"Good morning, Stephan and Matteo have left. Stephan said he didn't want to disturb your sleep, he said I should give you this phone." Sarah explained handing her a phone.
Dawn collected it, she just remembered she didn't have a phone not like she had anyone she was going to call. She stared at the phone and realized it wasn't her phone but a brand new one.
"Breakfast will soon be ready, do you need help with anything."
"No, I can manage. Thank you." Dawn smiled.
"Alright, I have some work to do but I will be back by evening. Whatever you need just call me, my number is on the phone."
"Thank you so much," Dawn appreciated as Sarah walked out.
She stared around the room, it was still a little bit dim as the curtains weren't opened but one could tell it was daybreak already.
Dawn rose to her feet and walked slowly to the curtain, she still felt a sharp pain but it wasn't like three days ago. She pulled open the curtain slowly and turned around to stare at the room, she walked around into the bathroom to take a quick shower.
She brushed her teeth and then used a wet rag to clean her body just the way Stephan would do it.
She came out of the toilet and checked through the wardrobe for anything to wear, she realized that Stephan had stocked the wardrobe with all sorts of clothes and lingerie.
She took the cream on the side and rubbed it on her body. Afterwards, she took out a long gown and wore it, she didn't wear anything underneath.
She felt better this way.
She walked up to the mirror next to the wardrobe and styled her hair in a ponytail. She noticed she looked a little plum and it was all thanks to Stephan overfeeding her.
She didn't want to be too fat, she had to be mindful of what she was eating.
She wasn't sure Stephan liked fat women. Why was she even thinking of what he liked.
She decided she would go down and eat breakfast with Sarah before she left for work.
She nearly fell down when she spotted Stephan at the door staring at her. How long had he been there?
Stephan had come back home when he felt a little worried about Dawn, he didn't want to wake her up when he left but he regretted not seeing her awake when he had gotten into his car.
He lied to Matteo that he forgot some paper work but Matteo wasn't buying it.
He was really pissed off that they had to turn back again when they were almost at the airport but Stephan didn't care. He wanted to see Dawn.
'Just bloody video call her.' Matteo had told him.
"I thought you left," Dawn said staring at him.
"I did but I forgot something and had to rush down," Stephan lied walking up to her after what had happened between them last night Dawn couldn't maintain eye contact with him. Everytime there eyes met, she felt herself looking away.
"What did you forget? A file?"
"No," Stephan said planting a kiss on her lips softly and then Dawn realized what he had forgotten. "Call me if you need anything." He muttered on her lips, he walked to the desk and took a file and a flash drive, he smiled at her. "You came back to kiss me and check on me."
"If I said yes will you be happy."
"Maybe, but don't do that again. We can always video call." Dawn didn't know if Matteo was cursing the both of them right now.
Dawn knew he didn't forget that file, he had come back just to make sure she was okay and to kiss her.
"I will try," Stephan smiled he kissed her again on the lips and walked out.

Dawn day was boring, she slept through out after Sarah left and when she woke up, the maid had asked her what she wanted to eat. She had even offered to bath her as requested by Stephan but Dawn had rejected the offer, she felt weird having someone else see her apart from Stephan or Sarah.
While the maid was busy making something for her to eat, she called Sarah to ask if she was coming home and Sarah reassured her that she would be home soon.
When it was almost getting late, she had called Sarah again to ask if she was still coming home and Sarah reassured her that she will. She didn't mean to disturb Sarah but she felt bored just doing nothing.
"Dawn!" she heard someone call her as the scream of the maid could be heard, what was going on? She rolled out of bed as swiftly as she could and wore her robe over her satin night gown. She opened her room door and walked to the living
room.
There was a smell in the air.
"Dawn."
"Damien?"
Dawn was surprised to see Damien here but she was more surprised to see the maid was cuffed to the table kneeling down.
"What is going on?"
"They wouldn't let me see you, I had to use her as bait. I am here to rescue you."
"Rescue?" Dawn was perplexed, did Damien think Stephan had forced her to stay with him? "I am okay, you don't need to worry about me."
"He kidnap you, didn't he? I went to the hospital and you weren't there."
"He didn't kidnap me, I agreed to it."
"What do you mean agree to it? Is he threatening you? I can help you, let's just..."
"I am truly fine Damien he is not..." Dawn words were caught short as she felt something inject into her neck from behind, she turned around to remove whatever it was as she slowly touched her neck staring at Jerome. "What is going on?" Dawn asked turning to face Damien, she felt her muscles weakening.
"What did you do that for? I had things under control." Damien yelled at Jerome.
"Control you say, she wasn't going to follow you." Jerome replied as Dawn fell to the ground, she brought out her phone and dialed Stephan's number but Jerome used his foot to pin her hand to the floor as she winced in pain. "What are you doing?" Damien pushed Jerome off. "You are hurting her."
Damien squatted down to Dawn's level and he could see she was calling Stephan, he gritted his teeth in annoyance, why was she calling Stephan when all he wanted to do was help her.
He removed the phone from her hand, switched it off and placed it in his pocket.
"You?" Jerome said grabbing the maid by the hair and yanking it backward. "What is your name?"
"Madeline."
"Well Madeline, when your boss comes back tell him to see me immediately." Jerome said.
Damien carried Dawn in his hand and they left the building, they had not killed anyone, they only threw in sleeping gas and waited for it to circulate.
Jerome had plans to kill but he didn't want to go to jail.
Damien and Jerome successfully carried Dawn to the house, they had placed Dawn in Damien's room and Jerome had suggested they handcuff one of her hands to the bed just incase she woke up and decided to run away. Damien was not pleased with the suggestion but he knew Jerome was right.
He didn't understand why Dawn would agree to go the Stephan's house.
When Dawn woke up afterwards, she felt a slight headache and when she tried to turn to the side, she felt her hand was cuffed to something. Then it hit her, as she jerked up on the bed remembering what had happened to her. She looked around the room and she knew instantly that she was in Damien's room.
She heard the door open as Jerome walked in.
"Where is Damien? And why am I handcuffed?"
"because you might run," Jerome answered he climbed on the bed and grabbed Dawn by the legs.
"What are you doing?"
"What I have always wanted to do?" Jerome grabbed her legs and handcuffed them together after so much struggle from Dawn. "I don't know what they see in you."
Jerome didn't have plans to kidnap her but his brother was going crazy over her and even Stephan had allowed her stay in his penthouse, what was it about her that was driving them crazy. He wanted to know, now that Damien was out to do some paper work he had enough time to find out.
Dawn struggled with her one good hand but every time she pushed him she felt a slight pain on her waist.
Jerome pinned her down and climbed on her, he grabbed her breast roughly in his hand and squeezed on it tightly as Dawn cried in pain and fear.
"Tell me Dawn what is it that they see in you, is this the same breast every woman has." He touched her other breast and she winced in pain as she felt him resting on her wounded waist.
