BXBX NOVEL Chapter 102
Leon had earlier promised Mia Banter(Frost’s wife), that if she cooperated with his men, she would be given the opportunity to see her husband one last time before she was taken out of the country for her safety.
Leon discovered that Mia was a great mother and a good wife, who didn’t deserve a scumbag for a husband. So, he ensured that she wasn’t maltreated in any way.
Leon warned Mia that she was no longer safe in Amzone city. He informed her that Frost had made a lot of enemies, who were seeking retribution on anyone or anything related to him. He warned her that if she and her son’s ever returned home, they will be kidnapped, tortured, and executed by Frost’s enemies. He advised her that it was better to cut every tie with Frost and move on with her life in a faraway city.
Mia and her two boys were given the best comfort all through their stay with Leon’s men. When she first watched the drama between Frost and Jane, she was so heartbroken that she agreed to play along with Leon’s men. Even when Frost was made to talk to her before the interview, she faked her crying and lied about her son being threatened. All she wanted was for Frost and his mistress to pay for their crimes against her and her children.
When Mia stepped into the room where Frost was held prisoner, he ran towards her, longing for a hug and a kiss. However, instead of a hug or kiss, he was greeted with a fierce resounding slap.
“You bastard!” Mia scowled at him. “You despicable bastard! How dare you come close to me after all the humiliation and pain it cost me and my children.”
“Mia, I think I deserve that and more. However, don’t you think you’re overreacting?” Frost’s said in a slightly offended tone. He was severely infuriated by Mia’s audaciousness.
Mia was someone who worshipped the very air he breathed in. He was more like a god to her. She was a loyal, loving, and humble wife, who never went against her husband’s instructions.
.....
“I am overreacting!” Tears rolled down her cheeks. She knew the reason why Frost had not returned the slap with a little extra, was because of Leon’s men that were standing not far from her. “You betray and humiliate me and yet you claim I am overreacting! How dare you, Frost? How dare you?”
“Alright!” Frost’s voice was slightly raised. “You don’t have to over-flog the issue or rub this little mistake in my face!”
“Watch your tone, fool, before we give you a little taste of your medicine!” One of the men standing behind Mia warned in a deep voice.
Frost breathed down his fury and gave Mia a deadly stare.
Mia, suddenly emboldened by the men standing behind her returned Frost’s glares. She knew that he wouldn’t be able to raise a muscle on her, otherwise, he would receive the same punishment.
“Mia, I’m sorry!” Frost spoke calmly. “I know what I did is wrong! Please, find a place in your heart to forgive me.”
“You are sorry?” Mia spoke sarcastically. “Are you sorry because you got caught or because you are about to face something worse?”
Frost clenched and unclenched his fists in frustration. He knew that reasoning with Mia in the presence of the men behind her would be a difficult task. If the baboons had given them their privacy, he would have been able to sweet-talk her into doing anything he wanted. It was obvious that their presence was giving her the temerity to talk back at him.
“You are lucky we are not at home,” Frost mused incoherently. He wanted to badly slap some senses into her.
Mia, knowing her husband’s rage took a few steps backward before she voiced out her last statement.
“May you rot in hell, you worthless piece of shit!” She sneered. “This marriage is over and I am taking my children far away from all your evilness.”
“What the hell!” Frost thundered. He instinctively took some steps towards her but was sent staggering backward by a face-blinding punch.
“Nicely done!” Mia praised her savior and quickly stepped out of the room for fear of Frost assaulting her.
Leon and Ella arrived at the warehouse as Mia was being led out in blindfolds. They walked into the building and went first to Jane’s room.
Jane was looking so pale and disoriented. Her charm and cute baby face beauty seemed to have disappeared, as they were replaced with constant sneering and scowling at the world around her. She was constantly blabbing to herself like a witch, performing an incantation spell.
When she saw Leon and Ella enter her room, she instinctively stood up and ran to the other end.
“You’ve come to kill me!” She cried out like an insane person. “You’ve come to kill me! I don’t want to die, not now, not ever. I have so much to give this world. I want to be good! I have to be good! Frost made me betray you, but I can make amends. I will make amends.”
Jane ran back towards Ella, knelt in front of her, and looked up with puppy eyes. “Take me back! Give me one last chance to correct my mistake. I have to work for you. I want to work for only you. You can trust me again. I am a new Jane. I can be any type of Jane for you.”
SMACK!
“Shut your mouth, you raving lunatic!” Ella glowered at Jane. Jane’s continuous blabbing was already giving her a mild headache.
Jane touched her burning cheeks with her right hand. She felt the familiar sting of dejection and pain. She quickly stood up and scurried back to the other end of the room.
“You can’t kill me! You can’t kill me! Frost is to blame,” Jane cried out in anguish.
