“The maid told me that you haven’t been touching your food. Do you want to die?” Erasmus asked his gaze on the direction of the food. “Death is more pleasurable at this point than living.” Victoria replied with ease. Erasmus realized that she seemed to have given up and at this point a mere killing of Victoria would simply be in her favor. He didn’t want to kill Victoria, he wanted Victoria to suffer so much pain.“You really think I am going to persuade you to eat your food? If you starve to death, it is your choice.” Erasmus finished off and left the dungeon afterwards.Once Erasmus was out of sight, Victoria realized that he didn’t have human sympathy. It was slowly beginning to appear to her that Erasmus would be the first person to celebrate her death. At first, Victoria had believe death would be the ultimate price for all her suffering, but she refused that option, when she realized that she had Maverick to live for. Victoria knew that she wasn’t going to die and allow hi
When Leonard and Mia arrived at Leonard’s mansion, Lauren the cook, was shocked to see both of them entering into the living room. She had presumed that Leonard would be in another city at the moment, and never expected it to be other wise. Mia dropped to the couch the moment and breath in relief. It has been a very hectic day for her and seeing that she was in one peace was one of the biggest thing she had wished for in a long time. “You look really un kept Mia.” She opened her eyes to see that Leonard was staring at her. “I don’t mean it to be some sort of insult, but you need to get yourself clean.”Mia totally understood his point and decided to take his advice. Leonard directed her to the guest room and while she was taking her bath, Leonard directed several other maids to get good female clothes for Mia, once she was done taking her bathe. Leonard proceeded to the kitchen, where she found the old woman cooking and for some odd reason, he was confused as to whether Mrs. Lauren
Leonard and Mia were back at the black mustang, when Mr. Walter; Leonard’s friend called and he picked immediately.“Leonard, I got your message from Levi. What is the problem?” Mr. Walter asked.“I am in danger.” Leonard revealed.“Don’t you worry; ensure your phone is still on. I will have the boys track your location and would ensure that you are back here safely. Just hold on.” Mr. Walter announced.“Dad, I am in Erasmus’s danger….” Leonard indicated, but it was too late as his friend had already hanged up.While Leonard and Mia waited for the entourage to arrive, a knock came through Leonard’s car window and when he turned around, he realized the person to be one of Erasmus’s men with a gun in his hand.“Step out of the car now!” The soldier yelled and both Mia and Leonard had their hands up in their head. “No matter what happen, don’t open the door.” Leonard instructed Mia, before stepping out of the car.“You really think we would be fools to allow you both go, knowing you wil
Mia’s heart pounded in her chest as her vision focused and she came to the grim realization that there was a gun barrel pointed right in her face.“Get up,” she heard a gruff voice, and her eyes drifted to the owner of the hand that pointed the gun at her. It was a strange man that she had never met before.What was going on?She got up swiftly covering her chest with her bedsheet. She had been wearing only a rose colored satin nightgown to sleep.Mia’s eyes were fixed firmly on the man who was still aiming the gun at her. In her head lots of questions popped up that made her wonder if she had somehow entered the fucking twilight zone.Opening her mouth with the intent to ask the strange assailant what had brought this on, she jumped in fright as the man gestured to the door with the gun, circling her but thankfully keeping his distance.“Get walking now,” he ordered her and she scrambled to get her robe to at least keep herself decent while she did as the man asked.As soon as she le
About an hour after she had locked eyes with that mysterious, dangerous looking man from the warehouse, Mia now sat atop a bed, feeling uncertain of the direction her life was going to take.She recalled the last moments before she was carried out by the same men that had pointed guns at her and her brother, and took her to this room.She didn’t even know where she was.“Keep her until I come,” she had heard the man - the men’s boss? - ordering them. “And don’t touch her. Not one hair on her fucking head.”It had to be the boss, because he looked like no other man she had ever seen in her life before, and the strip club had given her a lot of experiences when it came to trusting her gut instinct. That man… was dangerous. A predator.As soon as she was summarily shoved into the room and heard the door lock, Mia had been feeling a great sense of numbness.She still had no idea what she was doing in this situation; were it not for her damned stupid brother who dealt with these sort of sh
As soon as her brother was out of the picture, it was a flurry of events happening all at once.Mia found herself being bundled up in a car with black tinted windows. She fumed silently but was resigned to her fate. After all, she had brought this upon herself hadn’t she?Luckily for her, Leonard wasn’t with her. Instead it had to be one of his lackeys, sitting with her in the back seat of the car.“Where are we going?” Mia asked the man but he only grunted and looked away from her. She bit her bottom lip, feeling like she was nothing but a doll. Do this, go there, do that. She absolutely hated it and was resigned to it.“Fine, don’t tell me,” she muttered looking away from the man.Then all of a sudden, the car stopped to a halt. She frowned, looking out the windows. There weren’t any sort of buildings around here. Her brows furrowed. What was their plan-?Before she knew it she saw nothing but darkness, as a bag was shoved into her head. She tried to scream but then she heard the ma
The round table was stacked full and for the very first time, Leonard was finally going to see the family he would be serving. He might be rich, but his major aim was to punish those who would take his servitude for granted.The head of the round table, Mr. Alex stepped forward and had a smirk on his face. It was apparent that he was a man up to several mischief."I call you all here because as of now, our family has severed ties with the Ross corporation." While there were several murmurs amongst the members, Leo couldn't help but wonder what Ross had done for the family to break ties away from."Having laid that information out, today I want to introduce you all to our new chef." Mr. Alex signaled at him to step forward and the moment Leo came close to him, he pushed the lad away surprisingly. ,"I did say you should step forward, but I didn't say that you should come and rub me.." he said with disgust written all over his face."He will be our chef, they call him Leo and I want eve
Mr. Alex was engrossed in his paper, when he heard a knock on the door. He looked up to see Erasmus stomping his feet on the ground as he approached his direction."Why are you overworked Erasmus?" Alex asked."That new chef of yours is and idiot. He watched as Mia insulted me today and I think he must have poisoned her heart to make her act rude." Alex closed his book and looked at his brother for a second."Do you really think Mia would be silly to listen to that chef? I know Mia very well and I don't think she said any of that due to the chef's influence." He dragged a cup that was simply afar and placed it in his front."Mia has loud mouth and even though she gets silent most of the time, I cannot deny the fact that she can be rude." He pulled out a drink from the shelf and poured it into the cup."You don't have to worry about her anyways. I heard one of the suitors would soon arrive to request her hand in marriage and I cannot simply wait to give my blessings." Alex finished off
