A Baby For Billionaire Knox

THEME: Vins Bond

SAINT PETER HOSPITAL

Oliver Scott stepped out of the ward and stood in front of Knox. “What happened to Eretia?” He asked.

“I don’t know.” Knox whispered.

“What?” Oliver furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance.

“You heard me. I don’t know what happened to her.” Knox Martins answered.

“Are you saying you don’t know how she ended up like that?! In your home?!” Oliver Scott yelled at him.

Annoyance was clear in his tone and Knox could see the anger in his eyes. “Now tell me you didn’t stab her!” Oliver accused him.

“What?! No I didn’t stab her!” Knox eyes widened in shock. How could he do such a thing to the woman he loved wholeheartedly?

” You.. Bastard!” Oliver grabbed Knox’s collar and his fist collided with Knox’s lips.

Knox Martins staggered and lost his balance. “She was at your home! And you didn’t know how she got stabbed!” Oliver tried to punch Knox again but he outsmarted him.

And Knox’s own fist landed on Oliver’s jaw. “What about you?! Are you trying to blame me when you are no saint yourself?!” Knox snarled.

Two men arrived with Mrs Elaina Martins in the hallway and they rushed to separate them.

“Turning your back against her! You pushed her out of your lives!” Knox yelled at him.

A man grabbed Knox Martins while the second man held Oliver’s Scott. “You knew she had no one else but you still pushed her away and cut her out of your lives completely! Why?! Because she was in love with me!” Knox gritted in anger.

“Shut the fuck up you fool!” Oliver grimaced.

“Coward! You should have confessed to her if you were man enough! And not pushing her out of your lives because she loved another in your place!” Knox snarled.

“You don’t deserve Eretia!” Oliver snapped.

“I deserve her because I am better off than you! At least I value everything that comes my way. And I don’t take advantage of people!” Fury crashed over Knox.

Oliver tried to reach for Knox but the man held him in place. “I swear it.. I’ll kill you if Eretia dies.” He threatened.

“I’ll have you rot in jail!” Knox threatened too.

“Stop this Knox!” His mom shouted.

“She won’t die! Eretia is gonna make it out alive!” Knox sounded so confident in his words.

“You’ll regret this Knox!” The men dragged Oliver out of the hallway.

“Oh son.. what have you done to yourself?” A tear dropped down her chin when her gaze fell on his busted lips.

“Don’t worry, mom. I am fine.” Knox touched his lips.

“You shouldn’t have fought with him.” Mrs Elaina sniffled.

“He started it.. that fool accused me of stabbing Eretia.” Knox spat.

“Why would he think like that? Who is he?!” Anger crossed Mrs Elaina’s face.

“He is close to Eretia.. more like a family friend.” Knox replied.

“I’ll sue him for laying his hands on you!” Mrs Elaina fumed.

“You don’t have to press charges against him.” Knox gave her hand a small squeeze.

Eretia won’t be happy with him if he decided to press charges on Oliver who has once saved her life.

“We should focus on finding the killer. The man who tried to kill her.” Knox let go of his mother’s hand.

“We found him.” Mrs Elaina replied.

“You found him? Who is he?!” Knox demanded.

“Vins Bond.” A voice answered.

Mrs Elaina and Knox both looked up and the two men were there.

“Vins Bond?” Knox repeated.

“Son.. they are detectives. I made a report to the station after you called me.” Mrs Elaina Martins explained.

“I am Detective Chad.” The first man introduced himself.

“And I am detective Derrick Thompson. We are from the Criminal Investigative Department of the Police Force.” The second man added.

“We went to your home as soon as your mom made the report at the station. And when we got there, we found out that what happened was a clear case of attempted murder. Someone tried to kill your girlfriend.” Detective Chad said.

“Who are you suspecting?” Detective Derrick demanded.

“You just said Vins Bond.” Knox ran his hand through his hair.

“Do you know him?” Detective Chad asked.

“I haven’t heard about him. I don’t know him!” Knox coaxed.

“Why did you leave her alone at your place?” Detective Derrick questioned.

“We had planned to go to the show together but this morning she wasn’t feeling strong enough to come with me. So I asked her to stay at home and rest.” Knox responded. He couldn’t say further than that or else he would be left with no choice than to spill the whole truth.

“So how did you know she needed help?” Detective Chad asked again.

“She called me.” Knox muttered after letting out a sigh of frustration.

Detective Derrick and Detective Chad exchanged glances. When they checked Eretia’s phone, the last call she made was to Knox and he had even sent her a text before she called him.

“We found the killer all thanks to the CCTV cameras around your home.” Detective Chad announced with a blank expression.

“We played the tape and saw how he tried to kill your girlfriend.” Detective Derrick added.

Knox Martins balled his fists. He had no idea why an unknown man would come into his house to murder his girlfriend.

“Is she related to Vins Bond?” Detective Chad questioned.

Eretia doesn’t have any relative in this world! Knox Martins wanted to say but he held back his words.

“Or maybe Vins was her Ex.” Detective Chad said in a low tone.

“No!” Knox said loudly. He was her first in Everything and no one else!

“You know the killer then go and find him! Before he makes his way out of town!” Knox Martins said angrily.

“We just want to know if your girlfriend has any connection with Vins Bond.” Detective Derrick said calmly.

“She doesn’t know Vins Bond or whatever you call his name!” Knox snapped at the detective.

“Mr Knox, I’ll advice you calm down and hear us out. Vins Bond is a criminal and he has been on the run for years now.” Detective Thompson cleared his throat.

“Find him! And get justice for my girlfriend!” Knox threw his hands up in frustration and turned away from the detectives.

“Please find him before he kills another innocent lady.” Mrs Elaina said.

The detectives nodded in understanding. “We’ll get back to you as soon as we find anything.” Detective Derrick replied.

“Thank you, detectives.” Mrs Elaina shook hands with the men before they walked away.

“Son, you need to relax.” Knox turned to look at his mom. “No I can’t relax mom. I have no idea of who that killer is and why he wanted to end her life.” He rubbed his temples.

Mrs Elaina Martins hugged her son. “She’ll be fine.” She murmured.

Knox buried his face in her neck and sobbed like a little boy. “She’ll make it son. Let’s keep praying for her.” Mrs Elaina reassured him.

***********

Mary Ann opened her eyes to soft darkness and only a dim lamp provided brightness in the room. Vins was laying naked beside her causing her to sit up immediately.

Mary looked under the blanket and she saw that she was naked too. What has she done to herself again. She had vowed to never give herself away to any man again except she was sure he was in love with her and he truly wanted a long time commitment. But she had broken that vow.

Mary Ann closed her eyes. Disgust filled her when she looked down at sleeping Vins. She hated him at that moment. It was hard to say no to him, maybe because she was scared he would tell Knox everything if she had rejected him.

She should leave before he wakes up! And she would never get to see him again! Mary Ann concluded. Slowly as she tried to get out of bed but his hand snaked around her.

“Are you leaving?” Vins Bond said with a husky voice.

He wasn’t sleeping. She thought. “Yes.”

“It is late.” Vins Bonds pointed to the small clock on the drawer. The time was 12:30 p. m.

“I’ll make it to my apartment in twenty minutes.” Mary Ann replied.

Vins Bond sat up. She got out of bed quickly and searched for her clothes. Her anger towards him was beyond this world.

“Why are you in hurry to leave me?” Vins Bond asked.

And she said the words that came to her mind just to express her irritation. “I am disappointed.”

Annoying and harsh words at him and he would let her go. She thought.

“What do you mean?” Vins Bond frowned at her.

“I thought I was going to feel pleasure but I felt nothing.. just emptiness after love making.” Mary Ann replied. She found her top on the floor and jeans at the foot of the bed.

“You are so weak in bed, Vins Bond.” She grounded out.

Anger and fury crashed over him. She had done it again. Vins Bond hated it when he was being looked down on especially by a woman. He hopped out of bed. He was determined to teach her a lesson. Mary Ann would learn to always talk the right way even if it is meant for him to break her bones.

All of sudden, he grabbed her upper arm before she could say the next word. Mary Ann tried to push him away but he slapped her across the face. Her face burned and tears set in her eyes as he pushed her on the bed. She was stunned at the new beast Vins Bond.

“I’ll show you the monster in Vins Bond.” He punched her.

He was insane to hit a woman! How had she gotten into this mess with him? Mary Ann mused.

“No.. no..” Mary begged when he pulled her under him.

“You’ll feel pleasured now when I take you by force!” Vins Bond kissed her hard on her lips.

Mary Ann grabbed his hair and bite his ear. Vins Bond yelped in pains. He drew back and she spat in his eyes. Another resounding slap landed on her face. His hands grabbed her neck and without thinking he tightened his hold around it. Mary Ann tried to catch her breath but he was strangling her. And some seconds later, she went limp under him.

Mary Ann stopped fighting and darkness came over her. Minutes clicked by and Vins Bonds relaxed a bit. Mary Ann eyes were widely open, staring him but she didn’t move.

And Vins Bond came back to his senses. “Mary Ann…” He tapped her.

She didn’t respond. Vins Bond stood up and raised her hand but it dropped down immediately. Then he gasped in shock when he felt her pulse. No pulse! Mary Ann was dead!

“Oh.. no.. Vins Bond, what have you done?” He panicked.

“Wake up, Mary Ann!” Vins Bond slapped her gently on her cheeks.

No response came from her. Vins Bond moved away from the bed and rushed to the closet to grab a few clothes. He searched for his car keys after wearing his clothes. Thank goodness, he still had the money she gave him few hours ago.

Vins Bond concluded that he would leave town immediately just like he used to after committing a crime. So he rushed to the sitting room and grabbed the envelope on the couch and tucked it into the hold all bag. He unlocked the door and stepped out to the porch.

Suddenly he heard it… Sirens! And then knew he was surrounded by cops. He turned and saw the cops waiting with their guns pointed at him.

“Drop your weapon! And place your hand behind your head!” Detective Derrick barked out.

Vins Bonds regretted his actions tonight. He didn’t even take his gun in the drawer to defend himself.

“Damn it!” Vins Bond gritted.

Slowly he did as detective Derrick ordered. Vins Bond knew this was his end. No more running away from the cops. Derrick Chad came to him and handcuffed him while some cops moved into his home.

Mary Ann. Vins Bond thought.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Boss there is a body in his house.” A cop reported to detective Derrick and he confirmed that she was dead.

Detective Chad called the ambulance before Vins Bond was taken to the station.
