Bound To Him

Joaquin planned something big because Sara would not agree to see him, ignoring all his calls and messages.

Nobody says no to Joaquin, he was going to teach Sara a lesson. 

He told Bonnie to pretend she was sick, Sara was concerned, so she told Bonnie to go to the clinic so she could be checked, and for the first time, Sara was left alone. 

Joaquin was already waiting inside her bedroom, there were cameras installed everywhere. His plan was to have his way with her and record everything, then use the footage to blackmail her.

He was waiting behind her door as she got into the bedroom of her suite. She got scared when she spotted him, he had an evil gleam in his eye, she knew he was up to no good. 

He pushed her to the bed, but because she was physically fit and stronger than she looked. She was able to fight him back before he tore off her clothes, she was punching and kicking him, and she was able to push him away from her several times. She got lucky when she got a hold of the lamp on her bedside table, she used to knock Joaquin unconscious, so she was able to escape. 

When he came to, Sara canceled all her shoots and hurried back to her country. 

He knew that she would never come back, and it would be harder to control her, so he released the fake pictures that showed her using drugs. He had hired another model that had Sara's features and made her wear a wig with the same hair color to orchestrate his plan.

Then with Bonnie's help, he was able to drug Sara and take the pictures to make her look drunk.

He knew Sara loved her job more than anything else, so he told Star Light to fire her, they declined him initially because Sara was their biggest asset, she was earning millions for the company, but Joaquin offered them more money than Sara would earn if she was still with them, so they took it and fired Sara.

Aside from firing her, he also commanded them to issue a smear campaign to drag her name further into the mud so nobody would dare sign her up again.

By his calculations, at this time, her career was entirely ruined, and she would be ready to accept his offer, but she was brave and headstrong, she did not budge to his demands.

It was unfortunate for him that Blake Anderson stepped in. He not only offered Sara a modeling contract, but Blake also made her his girlfriend.

When pictures and news of Blake and Sara's relationship came out and had spread on the internet, Joaquin became very angry, his blood was boiling, and he wanted to see somebody head on a platter because Blake had just poured water all over his plans. 

He learned that Blake Anderson was an Aristocratic Heir, he was a very powerful person, and he had a lot of influence all over the world. In his country, he was the ruler of the entertainment industry.

But Joaquin did not mind the challenge, he knew he was more powerful than Blake, and he could either give Blake an offer he can't refuse or defeat him in the game he was playing. He was going to get Sara by hook or by crook.

The map he had on his hand showed the location of the hidden treasures in the Maple kingdom. He needed Sara to get into the maple kingdom so he could steal the treasure. Without Sara, it would be very difficult for him to enter the palace. 

Joaquin did not want to waste any more time, he had to get Sara so he can become the king of kings.

Joaquin did not know the true strength and power of Blake Anderson. Going against Blake will be Joaquin's biggest downfall and he will regret every second that he plotted against Blake.

Blake was in the office, he had back to back meetings all morning, he was worried that with all the scandal, Sara would be at a disadvantage and get all the small gigs. So he was overseeing all the assignments, and he was making sure that she got all the best ones.

Blake's assistant was shocked seeing his boss being so attentive to his girlfriend, he has never seen Blake look at any of the modeling assignments. 

Their company had many top models, and they all did everything in their power to impress his boss but nothing worked, but Sara did not even bother to give him the time of day, yet he treated her like she was very important.

Blake gave instructions that Sara should not be given any shots that would expose any part of her body and should always be treated like a VIP on all sets.

Someone knocked on the door, and Blake frowned, he did not like being disturbed while he was working. He was irritated, but when he looked up, he saw Sara waiting at the door, his mood changed, it was like the sun suddenly shone through the clouds.

She had just finished her fittings for the next shoot, and she had a little free time, so she thought she should say hi to Blake, he texted her earlier that he was going to be in his office. 

She was taken aback by his irritated look, she thought, "Maybe I shouldn't have come. We're in a fake relationship anyway."

"Well, I see you are busy … I'll just leave," Sara said as she turned around, not waiting for Blake's reply.

"Wait!" Blake explained and hurriedly got up from his seat. Sara stopped and turned around.

"I'm not busy, come on in," Blake said.

"I was in the area, so I thought I'd stop by," Sara said, feeling uncertain.

"Sara, you can come to see me anytime, you don't need to give me any explanations," Blake said in a soft tone.

She felt a little bit better. She liked his office, it was very classy, and the decorations and furniture were minimalistic.

"Sit here for half an hour, I just need to finish something, and then we can leave," Blake said.

"Sure, no problem, take your time," Sara said as she went and sat on the sofa.

The assistant had left them alone, understanding that they needed space.

Blake sat at his desk and worked as fast as a kid doing his assignment, so he could get the candy his mommy promised him as soon as he finished. In this case, spending time with Sara was going to be the promised reward.

He always worked according to his time, he finished and started when it was convenient to him, accommodating others was not in his vocabulary.

Sara looked over at Blake's desk, he looked so serious while he was busy at work. She had always known that Blake was very handsome, he had the type of face that you can never forget.

But now she was staring at him closely, he was mesmerizing. She recalled touching his hair and knew that it was very soft and silky, his nose was nice and pointed, his jawline sharp and angled, his fair skin had no blemishes, and his eyes were very dark and sharp that she felt it could see deep into her soul.

When she came to his lips, she blushed, they were thick and sensual, she remembered how soft they felt on her lips, the way he had slipped his tongue into her mouth, and sucked her lips, she was getting hot, just thinking about it. 

She never wanted that kiss to end, but because of the burning food, they had to stop. She touched her lips, remembering that her first kiss had also been with Blake.

They always say that the most attractive man is a hardworking man, and she never understood this saying until now. Blake was concentrating on his computer screen looking very serious, and she didn't think he could be more attractive. 

Those long fingers that were typing noisily on the keyboard were the same fingers that had roamed and explored her body over her clothes. He had ignited each and every one of her nerve endings. She was wondering how it would have felt if he had gone further, what if he had touched her naked skin.

Her body was on fire, and she was staring at Blake.

Blake felt Sara's eyes on him and looked up. She looked flustered.

She felt embarrassed and looked down, "What was I thinking? I have lost my mind." She was still thinking about Blake touching her naked body, "Ugh! I need to stop these thoughts," she was blushing.

"Sara? Are you okay?" Blake asked, "You look very red, is it hot in here? Are you sick?"

"Ahh…. Yeah... I'm okay," she said, grabbing her purse, "I was searching for my mobile," as she searched for her phone.

She pretended to look at something on her phone, opening Instagram, and scrolling through it mindlessly. She was still thinking about Blake, his lips, and his hands.

Blake did not think too much of it, she said she was okay, so he went back to what he was doing, he wanted to finish his work so they could spend more time together.

When he was done, Blake looked up to let Sara know that he was ready to leave, but what he saw brought a smile to his lips.

Sara had fallen asleep, she was probably tired and then got bored looking at her phone. Blake walked quietly so that his footsteps would not disturb Sara.

She looked very peaceful when she slept, like a baby without a care in the world. 

A strand of hair had fallen on her face. Blake had moved to tuck her hair behind her ear, then he traced a finger on her face.
