Chapter 3

the man dashed down the hallway, past doors leading to other rooms until he eventually arrived at his destination and shoved open the door. Happily, he arrived at his boss on time. He had been monitoring the time and figuring out how much time he had left.He had been sprinting, so he pushed the door open and let out his remarks. "Boss, I am here, I got here on time." Taylor was Natalie 's aide.Natalie 's honed abs would make any woman go crazy, and he had a towel tied around his waist with water falling from his hair into it. He was insanely attractive.Fortunately for Taylor, his supervisor was about to the restroom. Because of his lack of friendliness, Natalie instilled terror in all of his employees, knowing full well what would happen if they let him down or failed.After gathering his thoughts, Taylor gave the suitcase to his supervisor and said, "Here are your clothes, boss, just as you like them." Taylor handed the bag to Natalie . "Use that phone to locate the girl, and urge everyone to do whatever it takes to get her. Bring her here unharmed and alive." With the icy, severe tone he typically reserved for them, Natalie gave an order. He threw the phone on the bed and went to get dressed in the restroom.Taylor climbed to the phone after he left to view a lovely little child and felt horrible for her. "I wonder what you did to awaken the master's wrath," Taylor mumbled, sounding as though the girl was about to pass away. After emailing the leader the girl's photo, he contacted the men and relayed to them exactly what Natalie had said.

When Alice turned to look at the other side, she saw two happy couples of fish swimming in the river together. Alice had been sitting on the bridge watching the fish swim joyfully and carefree.It seemed like minutes to her even though she had been sitting by the river watching at fish for almost an hour."These fish have a better future than I do; they swim all day in their fairy tales without any worries," I said, still waiting. However, my fairytale was dashed in the space of a single day—my wedding day, to be exact. Why? Why? Why must everything in this world treat me so cruelly? Even though I've always loved him and have fulfilled all of his requests,

He was unfaithful, unfaithful to me." Alice broke down once more in tears.Alice had hoped that having a sexual relationship with another guy would lessen her suffering, but it had no effect. She still ached from what they'd done together the previous evening. It was nice, but she was so hurt that she lost any emotional response to what had happened the previous night.Alice was unable to bring herself to return to her family and had refused to go home. "What makes the world so unkind? Why did he do this to me after I did everything I could for him, loved him, and gave up my business studies in order to support him?" Alice cried out and screamed toward the river.

Since it was a workday and there was no one around, she let all of her frustration out on the fish and river, sobbing uncontrollably. She was still sobbing and yelling in agony into the air when all of a sudden she could hear automobiles approaching. Alice got up, thinking that the automobiles parked there belonged to her family, but several unfamiliar males who appeared to be gangsters emerged. Alice retreated a few steps in response, moving toward the bridge's edge. "Who are you? Why are you in this place?" She trembled at their appearances, not knowing why she felt unsafe."Ma'am, you have accompanied us; we wish you no harm; please follow our instructions and accompany us in silence to prevent issues." The black-suited man said something. All of them wore suits, albeit in various hues. The leader appeared to be the man who talked. Alice counted them as she looked at each one individually. "No, don't come any closer, I don't want to come with you and if you come closer then I will jump into the river here," she finally said, after giving them some thought.

Alice first glanced at the men, then at the river.She was being urged by the men not to leap, but she was not listening. It was appropriate to kill herself now as she was going to kill herself anyway. The man made the decision to summon their master when things went out of control. When Natalie heard what she was planning to do, his men moved quickly to locate her. The man continued talking to her so that she wouldn't jump when he told him he would arrive shortly.The males were still attempting to understand her after a few minutes when a car pulled into the parking lot next to those vehicles. Alice lingered to identify the driver and her eyes were startled at his appearance when he emerged. "What are you doing here?" She enquired. The man she slept with that night was it."I'm guessing you forgot our deal last night,"

With his hands in his pockets, Natalie spoke. Alice had been wearing her bridal gown when he had changed into his new attire."I don't want to be yours, I was just desperate last night and...""You were certain, Alice; you came across as quite determined, and now there is no going back. You can't die because I now own you." Natalie gave his troops the order to go grab her by casting a glance over his shoulder. To the surprise of everyone watching, Alice simply let herself fall into the sea because she was too depressed to process all that was happening."Boss, what should we do?" The boss enquired.Natalie prepared to give his orders as he looked at her location in the water before diving in.

men to save her, but he wasn't quite confident in them.Natalie muttered to himself, "You will pay for this woman, mark my words," and gave Taylor his phone and wristwatch. His black fitting shirt buttons fell off as he bit his teeth in rage. He then dove into the river to prevent the girl from drowning. Underwater, Alice gasped for air, lost her ability to hold her breath, and finally passed away.

As Alice rested deeply in the water, she was about to close her eyes when she noticed some falling into the water. It felt really cold in the water, and she started to regret what she had done when she was unable to breathe. As the fish continued to swim around, she noticed Natalie making her way before closing her eyes and giving up.Natalie swam out of the water carrying the unconscious woman in his arms after grabbing hold of her with a firm grasp. Swiftly, Taylor and the rest hurried over to their lord on the riverbank. Natalie emerged from the water holding the girl in his arms. He turned his back on his men and left.

The men went with him.
