Chapter Two

"Let me out of here! Somebody help me!." Ariel yelled but no one was hearing her words or listening to her. While Ariel was busy knocking on the door, a pair of sapphire blue eyes made their way toward her.

Pushed into a dark room without anyone to listen and help her, Ariel shrank down in size. The fear and anxiety she had been trying to hide from others a while ago, hit her a hundredfold.

"Let me out of here, can't you hear me? What is this place, what the hell is going on here." Ariel continued banging but it all fell on deaf ears, the men outside refused to listen to her plea. Instead, they prayed in their hearts that their master loved the girl.

Ariel stifled when she felt the air behind her changing, she turned around, her eyes met with the sapphire blue eyes staring back at her and she turned into a mumbling mess. "W.. what are you..u doing...g? Please let me go, I am so scared. Ple.a...se d.. don't hu... at me."

Ariel pleaded bending her head, Dylan's eyes narrowed on the woman who was busy begging like he was going to eat her up. Although he felt he was burning and hot, he could still control his urges pretty well.

"Please, I will pay back your money. If it's money you want then I will pay it back, my mother is still recovering." Ariel pleaded with tears running down from her eyes.

"Money? Why would I want money? I already have that." Dylan replied but Ariel was lost in her pleas that she could not make out his words.

Dylan rolled his eyes, he considered women a nuisance and he just met one but this one looked slightly less annoying. "You can spend the night here, I won't lay my hands on you. Spend the night on the bed, I will sleep on the couch."

"You do not have to pay me money for doing you a favor but whenever I ask for a favor in the future you have to return it," Dylan said turning around to leave from there, returning into the darkness.

"What do you mean sir? I have to get back to work, I cannot spend the night here. I am so scared, please let me go back to work. The manager won't be pleased if he finds me missing from work." Ariel pleaded thinking more rationally, Dylan's words sank into her mind.

Ariel's fingers held onto her clothes and she squeezed them hard.

"You don't have to worry about the manager, I will speak to him. Get your clothes off and lay down on the bed right now, I won't touch you."

"You just have to pretend something happened between us and then you will be paid, 10 times higher than you get paid here," Dylan remarked tugging at the neckline of his shirt to get rid of the heat he was feeling.

"Really? 10 times more?" Ariel's ears stood straight immediately she heard the amount, it would be enough to pay for her mother's hospital bills and also pay off the debts she owed.

"Yes." Dylan gave a one-word reply taking a seat on the couch that was placed right opposite the bed.

Ariel thought about it for a while, she gazed at him before agreeing and getting on the bed. It was not going to hurt her dignity so she was willing to get the job done, her mother's health was her top priority and nothing else.

"I see you have agreed. Get on the bed then." Dylan remarked gesturing towards the bed, Ariel immediately rushed into the bed. She took off her clothes in the bed and covered herself with the bed cover.

She pondered in thoughts for some time before letting herself get lost in sleep, she slept off on the bed without a single guard around her.

Outside the door, the guards could not hear anything from within the room but they paid no heed to it. As long as the master was satisfied then it was none of their business, while they were busy sighing in relief a luxuriously dressed woman walked towards them.

"Where is Dylan? Grandpa sent me here to meet with him, I would like to see him. Get out of the way." Charity muttered taking off her shades, the short gown she put on hugged her curves in the right places.

"The master is already asleep, he ordered us not to let anyone in ma'am. Miss you have to come back, I am afraid we can't go against the orders of our master." The head guard muttered coming to stand in front of the door with two others.

Charity clicked her to give in anger, she turned pissed off. She raised her hand and a slap came directly flying at the guard's face.

"What did I say about talking to me in that manner? I have said it times without number that I am the next matriarch, I am equal to your master but how dare you speak to me in that manner?"

Charity said in anger glaring at the guard, she prided herself on being the only child of her father and a heiress to lots of buildings but here these guards spoke to her like she was a nobody. She felt the urge to call her father but that would be her, acting like a child.

The head guard still had a rigid look on his face despite the slap he received from Charity, he stepped forward and moved closer to Charity. Charity glared at the guard with resentment in her eyes, Charity felt frustrated. She had finally convinced the old man to do this and now her plan was getting ruined.

"I understand your words miss, but before you become our matriarch. The current head of the family is our master, we only take orders from him and no one else. Please pardon us miss, can you please leave? The master won't like it if he gets awoken by the noise.
