Is this destiny?

Chapter 450 - Spirit Pavilion (11)



William realized that something is wrong. Something is horribly wrong. He got himself off from Priscilla and pulled a bedsheet over their bodies.

William was not able to read Jeff's cold expression, but he could see that he is not friendly. Something is definitely wrong. He cleared his throat. "How can I help you, Jeff?"

"You want to help me? That is not the impression I got."

"I don't know what you are talking about." William was panicking. He hoped that it's not what he is thinking about… and he was thinking about his sister doing something stupid again.

"I'm talking about your sister attempting to drug me and my brother."

William felt his heart drop. This is what he feared. He knows that his sister is wild and reckless, and he neglected to stop her. But still, did she really make a move against Jeff? "No, that can't be true…"

Jeff glanced toward outside, and Aiden dragged Roxy inside the room. He kept her sitting on the floor and leaning on the wall.

Roxy looked at her brother and sobbed even harder.

Will just stared at her for some time, wondering why she is not moving. "What happened to you?"

"I can't move!" She screamed and then switched to pitiful sobbing. "They did something, and I can't move! I'm suffering while you are enjoying here with some…" Roxy's eyes landed on Priscilla and she paused for a second. Roxy's eyes opened widely, and she forgot that she was sobbing just few seconds ago. "YOU! Is that why you didn't join me?!! You left me by myself so that you can f*ck my brother?!!" Roxy wished that she can move. She would jump on Priscilla and rip her hair out. Roxy was outraged. Priscilla ditched her and enjoyed her time with Will, while she went to VIP room and ended up paralyzed. How is that fair?! "You worthless slut! Is that why you stuck with me? So that you can get in my brother's bed?" Roxy was raging. She was not able to handle the idea of her friend being with her brother. "Slut! Do you think you are special? You are just like all others! He will never like you! As soon as your legs are not spread, he will not even look at you!"

"Shut your mouth!" William bellowed at Roxy. He put his arm around Priscilla's shoulder and pulled the bedsheet to cover her up properly.

Priscilla was surprised. 'Did he just raise his voice at Roxy for me?' William always had few girls around him, and never showed that he cared for any of them unless they were pleasuring him. But now he raised his voice at his sister, covered her up and even protectively kept his arm around her shoulder… Priscilla was moved.

Roxy made some incoherent sounds before screaming again. Now at her brother. "What? Don't tell me you fell for her? She is a slut! She…" Her words where cut off when JoAnna kicked her and Roxy fell sideways on the floor.

JoAnna was irritated that Roxy is yelling so much. That is not why they are here.

Jeff pulled JoAnna close to him with one arm and held her tightly. "Stay close." Jeff spoke in a low voice while his eyes didn't leave William. He wants JoAnna close so that he can protect her if needed. He does not know what William will try to do when he finds out that he ran out of options. In desperate situations, people do desperate things. Jeff wants to make sure that JoAnna will be safe.

"This is all very touching." Jeff's voice was cold while he talked to William. "I am still waiting for an explanation."

Will looked at Roxy who was sobbing again on the floor. "What did you do?!" After some time of Roxy not responding, Will repeated. "Speak! What did you do!??"

"Nothing… nothing…" Roxy repeated between sobs. She would not admit it even if they start pulling her teeth out. Her only defense is her brother. If he knows that she went against his word, he might stop supporting her. What will she do then? Her friend already betrayed her. She only has her brother.

"Are you sure?" Will scrutinized Roxy. "Is it possible that they made a mistake?"

"We have a video of her giving pills to the bartender to put in our drinks." Jeff explained evidence which can't be denied.

"It was for someone else!" Roxy was fast to come up with alternate possibility.

"Bartender and the waitress already confessed." JoAnna added and was happy to see that Roxy finally closed her mouth. Part of JoAnna admired Roxy. She was fast to come up with excuses even when she was flat on the ground.

Roxy paled. She was not sure what to say next.

William stared at Roxy. "You! What were you thinking? I told you not to mess with them!" He wanted to say many more things, and to teach his sister a lesson, but William knows that first thing he needs to do is to pacify Jeff. "I told her not to mess with you, to leave you alone..."

"Yes, you did." Jeff confirmed and saw Will relax. He even smiled a bit.

Will stiffened as Jeff continued talking. "And you also watched her leave while plotting against us. You didn't stop her or warned me."

Jeff glared at Will. "I expected more from you."

Will lost all color from his face. It took some time for him to find his voice. "What will you do?"

Jeff glanced at JoAnna and then his sight settled back on Will. "This beautiful woman here is my fiancée. She is the most important person in my life. We came to your place, and I almost lost her. You tell me. What will I do?"

Will was frozen. Only his eyes nervously darted in all directions until the realization hit him. "My club… no… no! Anything other than club!"

Jeff's lips curled slightly, forming an evil smile. "I took away more than that. And it's already done. I just came to inform you personally, because of our friendship."

"You!" Will moved toward Jeff, not sure himself what he wanted to do when he felt stinging in his chest and he fell limply on the bed.

Priscilla screamed and went to Will to check on him. She felt stinging in her back and plopped on the bed as well.

Jeff looked down and saw JoAnna holding a small gadget in her hand. She looked up at Jeff and her smile got replaced by an innocent look. "He was going after you. I had to do something."

"They will wake up, right?" Jeff asked apprehensively. His intention was to punish William, and not to kill him. And even if any killing needed to be done, Jeff would not allow JoAnna to have any part in it.

"Yes, yes… they will just sleep for few hours." JoAnna quickly explained and looked up at Jeff, expecting a praise.

Jeff smiled at her dotingly and kissed her forehead. "Let's go home. I had enough of clubbing for one night."

JoAnna nodded in agreement.

"You! How dare you! We will call the police! We will report you!" Roxy squeezed through her teeth. She was going crazy from anger and helplessness. She desperately wanted to move, but her body didn't listen!

JoAnna giggled. "What evidence do you have? Feel free to call the police. We can show them a nice video of you giving drugs to the bartender to spike our drinks. We will see who ends up in jail."

Roxy was looking their way in disbelief. 'They left? Did they leave me like this?' She was not able to process what all happened. Part of Roxy feared what they will do to her, and then she panicked, 'What if this paralysis is permanent?!!' Her anxiety increased when she thought who will find her. No one comes down except for her brother. Maybe cleaning crew comes in the morning?

Part of her was glad that those four devils left. And part of her was panicking because she was all alone with bunch of other unconscious people. Roxy was not sure what to do. But there was not much she could do. So, she cried. From frustration, helplessness, relief, anxiety… everything came together and got out of her as sobs.

When two couples left, only sound on the lower level was coming from Roxy.. She was sobbing.
