Be My Wifey Or Lose Your Job

George POV

“So, I don’t think we should go on with that project, Donovan. There’s not enough profit in the business and, considering the money we all will have to invest in it but, you’ve got…”

The ringing of my phone interrupted me.

“Excuse me, please.”I said before shoving the phone out of my pocket.

Mom’s profile appeared on the screen and I sighed before declining the call.

I returned my phone in my pocket and looked up.

“So, gentle man. What I’m trying to say is that, we should reject the project now that we still can to avoid any risks in the future. We..”

My phone started ringing again and I scoffed.

“It’s fine, George. Pick it up. It might be an important call.”Donovan said.

“Oh, yeah..”I replied and stood up.

“I can’t talk right now. I’m in a meeting. Bye.”I said immediately I picked up the call and as I made to disconnect the line, mom stopped me.

“This is quite important George. It’s.. it’s about Janelle…”she hurried.

My eyes snapped up in curiosity as I heard that.

“What?, what’s about her?.”I asked worriedly.

“I don’t know but.. I think she has gone missing.. she went out some hours ago but she’s yet to return and I don’t even have her number to call her and ask about her whereabouts. I.. I’m having a bad feeling about this…”mom cried.

Whaat?..

My eyes dropped in shock and I ruffled my hair.

“I’ll call you back, mom.”I said.

“George!.”mom yelled before I hung up the call.

Her number was out on speed dial already on my screen So i just tapped on it.

The line started ringing..

One ring.. two ring.. three ring.. fourth ring..

The line disconnected by it’s self and

I dialed it again.

*The number you dialed is not available at the moment. Please, call back or leave a voice message.*it said and beeped.

“Where are you, Janelle?.. please answer your call.”I said and it beeped again.

*Your voice message is sent.*it says.

I turned around and grabbed my coat.

“We will continue from where we stop some other time. I have to attend to something..”I announced before walking out.

I ran down the passage way and out to the garage.

The driver saw me from afar and somehow he got the situation and quickly went inside the car and ignited the engine just as I entered.

“Go to the hotel where my mom is.”I said.

He nodded and drove out of the compound then speed out into the road.

“Did something happened, sir?.”he asked worriedly.

“Yes. I think my wife is kidnapped.”I replied and rubbed down my face with my palm.

Oh.

Be safe, Janelle.

“Then we should be going to the police station not to the hotel. This matter is quite serious, sir.”he said then spun the car around.

**

Janelle’s Pov.

My eyes fluttered opened and it came in contact with a leaking ceiling.

My hands were hurting like hell and I moved my eyes to it just to see they were tied up.

I tried standing up also but couldn’t as my legs were tied down.

Oh, God.

Who’re this people and what the hell did they want from me?.

I opened my mouth to shout for help but it ended up in muffled cry.

Oh, no.

My mouth is gagged also.

Tears formed up in my eyes as I struggled to stand.

The door suddenly opened and a guy stepped in.

Memories of the last event started flowing in and I wanted to scream but I couldn’t, no, I screamed but it ended as a muffle.

My eyes widened and u started shaking, trying to get the chains off me.

“Hey, pretty. The more you struggle, the more pain you’re inflicting on your body.. just stay still okay?.”he smiled.

What the?…

I shouted and he tilted his head.

“Seems like you’ve got something to talk about.”he said and walked towards me then went on a crouch.

I moved back as he tried touching my face.

He sighed then moved his hand to my mouth and removed the tape from my mouth.

“Who they fuck are you?. What the hell do you want from me?.”I yelled immediately the tape was removed from my mouth.

He sniggered bedroom standing up.

“Don’t worry, baby. I want nothing else than your husband’s money and, you’re just the perfect asset to use.”he smirked.

The door opened and another guy came in.

Wait!.

He’s the one that punched into passing out the other time.

“You don’t wanna do this.. you’re playing with your life.. George won’t hesitate to jail you all if he happens to know this. I will advice you to free me now!.”I yelled and he slapped me and my face turned to the other side.

Ouch!.

I heard him speaking with the other guy in French.

“Hello.”he said and I turned to him to see him with my phone and on a call.

“I have your wife with me, George. Bring #two million dollars to the bridge downtown if you wanna see her again. And, you sure won’t want to mess with me. No police!.”he said into the phone.

“I will give you five minutes to talk with her..”

He moved the phone to me and I glared hard at him.

“C’mon, speak.. you bitch!.”he pulled my hair back.

I shouted out in pain.

“Janelle?.. Janelle is that you?, are you okay?.. did he hurt you?..”

He moved the phone back to his ear before I could reply.

“You have one hour, man.. one hour before I cut your wife open.”

**

George’s Pov.

I rushed inside the station with the driver and went straight to the counter.

“Please, help!. My wife has been kidnapped and..”

“Please, calm down, sir. When is your wife missing?.”the cop asked as he brought out his pen and jotter.

“Some hours ago.”I replied.

He glanced up at me with a raised brow.

“Some hours ago?. I’m sorry, sir. It’s not even up to a day. We can only find her after 24 hours.”he said.

What?.

“Hey, I just told you my wife is missing and you’re telling me to goddamn wait for 24 hours. Are you shitting me?.”I shouted grumpily.

“I’m so sorry but..”

My phone rang and I quickly brought it out.

An unknown number?.

I picked the call.

“Hello?.”

“I have your wife with me, George.”a voice said from the other side.

I turned to my driver then to the cops.

I quickly put the phone on speaker.

“Bring #two million dollars to the bridge downtown if you wanna see her again, and, you sure won’t wanna mess with me. No police!.”he threatened.

“I will give you five minutes to talk with your wife.”

The other side went silent and then came his voice again.

“Speak you bitch!.”

Then, I heard her screaming..

What?.

“Hey, Sevan.. come and track this number.”the cop gestured over to another cop and he came with a laptop and started doing somethings.

“Try making the conversation going..”the cop said lowly.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Hey, Janelle?.. are you okay?, did he hurt you?..”I asked worriedly but there was no response.

“You have one hour, man. One hour.. before I cut your wife open.”

He hang up the call and I gnashed my teeth.

“I swear, I’m gonna kill them all!..”

“Do you get any signal, Sevan?.”the cop asked the guy tracking the number.

“Well…. yes!.”he said.

“Somewhere near the Gracie cupcake restaurant and… thank God, it’s not that far.”

“Then let’s go. What are we still waiting for?.. we know where they are, right?.”I said impatiently.

“I think It’s the street boys again. We will have to jail them for real this time?. They’re becoming more violent.”the cop that tracked the number said.

“Really?. Go get the other guys and get ready to go there.”the other cop ordered.

**

“No.. I suggest you stay back, sir.”the cop said as I tried entering the car with them.

“This is my wife we’re talking about here..”I said between gritted teeth.

He sighed softly and nodded.

“Okay then. Hop in.”he said and I entered.

The driver zoomed off and two other cars followed.

I ruffled my hair and shut my eyes.

The siren sounded and I frowned.

“No siren, please. They would realize us on time and run away.”I said.

“Okay. Turn off the siren.”he commanded the driver and he nodded then turned it off.

**

We pulled off in front of a tall but deserted building.

“Stay here while we go in.”he instructed before stepping out with the driver.

The cops trooped out from the other cars and they all head inside the building.

Minutes later, I started hearing gunshots.

God.

I can’t take this anymore.

I got down from the car ready to go inside the building when I saw a cop leading Janelle out.

My heart skip a beat..

Oh, my God.

What happened to her right eye!.

She ran to me immediately and flung into my arms.
