Chapter 33
Jerome got up from the her when he felt something wet, he stared at Dawn who was wincing in pain as blood was coming out of her cloth. Jerome had added too much pressure on her injury. Jerome seem unbothered by it as he grabbed her legs and placed it over his shoulder, he stared at her pant with an evil smile and all Dawn could do was struggle but the more she did the more she bleed out. Why was Jerome doing this to her? She wasn't close with Jerome but when she was dating Damien she had met him a couple of times. He was always reversed and barely spoke a word.
"You bastard," Damien barked at the sight in front of him, he pushed Jerome off as Jerome found himself on the floor.
Damien had gotten home and went to the library to inform Jerome that he had sorted out the paper works but he didn't see him there, he decided to check on Dawn only to find him on her. Was he losing his senses. Why would he do something like this to Dawn? Damien stared at Dawn who looked like she was going to die as she bled out.
"What is wrong with you?" Jerome asked rising to his feet. "I only wanted to see what it was about her."
"If you touch her again I swear to God I will kill you," Damien warned pointing at Jerome. If someone told him Jerome would do something like this Damien would have said it was a lie but here was his brother trying to sexually harass his

He had brought Dawn here to keep her safe not to hurt her more or make her feel less of herself, he removed the cuffs on her legs and her wrist.
"Don't touch me," Dawn protested when she felt Damien wanting to carry her. She had been doing just fine back in Stephan's house. Damien had not only kidnapped her, his brother was also on to her. She had already given in to the fact that Jerome would hurt her because no matter how much she struggled she couldn't break free.
Why was all this happening to her? Had she not suffer enough?
"I want to leave," she demanded.
"You are injured, we need to check your injury first." Damien said feeling sorry for her, he stared at Jerome angrily. This wasn't what they had agreed on, didn't Jerome care about him anymore why was he trying to ruin his plan and plant hatred in the heart of Dawn towards him.
Dawn relationship towards him wasn't the best and now Jerome had made it worst.
"We will let you be," Damien suggested staring at Jerome who was smiling, why was the idiot smiling. He left the room with Jerome and left Dawn alone. He couldn't let her go just like that, he had to make sure she was alright first. Dawn touched her waist and tried her best to stand up but she couldn't, she needed to get out of here right this minute.
She looked around the room, she was very familiar with this house so she knew the way around, the only problem now was she was in so much pain.

Stephan had closed from his meeting with Matteo, as he was riding back home he checked his phone and noticed Madeline his house maid had called him ten times and Dawn had called him once. He remembered she had called and he promised he did call back when the meeting was over. Did she miss him that much already.
"Did Madeline call you as well, I have twenty missed calls from her."
Twenty missed call, that was unusual. Stephan had not want to call her back, he wanted to reach the hotel first before calling her but twenty missed calls. He dialed Dawn's number but it wasn't going through. he tried Madeline number and it went through on the second ring.
"Sir," he heard her voice and she sounded like she was in tears.
"Where is Dawn? Is she asleep?"
"Sir...Sir.. forgive me Sir."
"What am I forgiving you for?" Stephan was worried at the sound of that, did something happen to Dawn.
"Madam was taken away by Sir Jerome, he said I should inform you to see him immediately."
"What?" Stephan disconnected the call and nearly threw his phone out the window as Matteo stared at him worried.

"What is going on?"
"That bastard, I should have killed him a long time ago."
"Is Dawn okay? Talk to me."
"Turn this car around," Stephan yelled at the driver as he obeyed immediately not knowing where they were going to. "Take us to the airport."
"Stephan," Matteo called out.
"Jerome has Dawn," he replied. "You will handle the remaining business, I will handle that bastard."
How did this happen? It didn't make any sense to him, he had taken her to his penthouse so she could be safe but she only got into another trouble. His security was tight to the max. he made sure they were everywhere and didn't grant access to anyone only Sarah. So how did this happen?
Why did this happen? He was starting to develop an headache from thinking and trying to figure out how it happened and how they managed to get into his penthouse. Someone must have helped them, it was the only way they could get in. Who was foolish enough to help Jerome and go against him, who was so foolish to do that. He couldn't wait to get back, to fish that person out and blow their brains out. This was definitely that bastard Damien doing, he knew Damien doted on Dawn and would not harm her but he didn't trust Jerome one bit.
Jerome was just like him, he would harm Dawn. Stephan knew this, worst part Dawn was hurting so how was she going to break free from his clutch. He just hope Damien would not let it happen.
"Relax, Damien won't let Jerome hurt her." Matteo tried to reassure him and Stephan could only nod in agreement to that fact." Let me call Sarah if she is safe."
Matteo knew Sarah was still at the hospital because they had chatted a few minutes back but for Stephan's sake he decided to call her again just to be sure, Jerome could be up to no good. He dialed her number and she didn't pick rather she video called him instead. When he picked she was already home.
"Dawn is gone,” Sarah said.

"Don't do anything, just stay put." Matteo warned.
"Are you coming home?"
"Not yet, but Stephan will be there by tomorrow."
"I am sorry, I was really busy with work today." Sarah apologized. She had been shocked to get the hotel to find out that Dawn was gone, when she had taken the private elevator to the pent house she knew something was not right. All the guards were nowhere to be found.
It didn't take long for Stephan to get to the penthouse the next day, his flight was not enjoyable at all for him. He was wide awake all through the flight. All his guards and Madeline felt like the ground should open up and swallow them. They all had just one job, to watch over their boss woman and they had failed woefully.
They all stood before Stephan staring at their shoes as Stephan sat on the couch making some calls, he tried to access the hotel camera's but nothing was coming up and even the little glimpse he was able to get, it was of Jerome waving at the camera before everything went off.
He knew Dawn was in Jerome's house but there was ways to go about this things, if she had gone willingly he didn't want to force her back, but he knew Dawn would never have agreed to it. She had wanted to stay with him and last night she had proved it to him when she allowed him touch her.
He had watched her tensed up at his touch, till she gave in and even when he kissed her goodbye she was accepting to it, there wasn't that look of confusion anymore on her face and for the first time he wanted her, not by force but of her own accord. He loved the sound of his name on her lips when she moaned his name and the more he thought about it the more he got angry.
"Was she forced?" he asked not looking at anyone, Sarah remained quiet all through his arrival, she knew he was upset and she didn't want him to take it out on her. She sat quietly on the other couch.
Without being told Madeline knew the question was directed to her because she had been the only witness to what occurred.
"She didn't have time to process it, Sir Jerome injected her with something," Madeline explained looking at the ground. She hoped her boss won't fire her. The pay here was good and he was barely at home so she had enough time to rest and even when he travelled away for months he still paid her monthly salary.
"And Damien?"
"He was very angry Sir, he wasn't pleased with it," Madeline replied.
"All of you are fired," Stephan ordered and Madeline found her knees on the floor, she didn't know if she should beg or cry.
