“I’m s-sorry *hiccup* I won’t try to run again *hiccup*” Kayla pleaded when she saw him coming towards her like a grim reaper. Her chest rose and fell rapidly as he closed the last of the distance between them, backing her into a corner of the room. She closed her eyes and covered them with her palm, unable to endure his dark gaze. He curled his fingers around her arms and pulled them back, but a frown set on his face when he saw that her eyes were still closed. “Look at me Kayla...” he demanded, his voice thick with the need to see her golden-brown orbs. He let go of her hands and cupped her face. “Open your eyes...” he tried a little gently this time. Kayla ever so slowly lifted her eye lids, giving him the sight that he had been deprived of. A rare smile flitted on his lips when his eyes collided with the most stunning pair of pearls that adored the girl that he had become obsessed with. “Will you *hiccup* p-punish me?” she asked. “For what you did, you deserve a punishment. Don’t you think so, Malyshka?” he smirked as he caressed her bottom lip with his thumb. Even even before she could say another word, he picked her up and threw her over his shoulder, gaining a surprised yelp from her. “W-what are you *hiccup* doing!?” she felt scandalized to be hanging upside down on his muscular torso. “You’ll find out soon enough” he stated coldly and strode towards the bed. And upon reaching it, he transferred her onto the mattress. “And now for the punishment...” he muttered as he leaned onto the bed and hovered above her, sending a cold shiver down her spine.
View MoreAlexi’s POV
“The next item will be the last one for tonight. She is a young virgin who will fulfill your darkest fantasies. But be careful as she might bite” the announcer said with a wink and soon a chorus of laughter erupted from the audience. They all seemed to be eager to meet the next slave.
And so was I.
The spotlight fell on a little girl beside the stage and she appeared to be reluctant to move. A bulky man came up right behind her shoved her further into the stage and she stumbled towards the middle, where everyone will be able to see her.
Howls and whistles quickly filled up the air as the girl made herself available to their hungry eyes.
From the VIP chamber I had a bird’s eye view of everything, but it was no help because the girl was keeping her head bowed. I narrowed my eyes to catch a glimpse of how she looked like and when another spotlight was focused on her face, all the air left my lungs.
Holy fucking....!
You have got to be kidding me!!!
On recognizing who it was, I shifted in my seat and leaned forward to observe her closely.
Clad in a transparent white dress, the blond girl hugged herself tightly, her petal shaped eyes glittering with unshed tears. Her face was crimson as she snapped her head from side to side, probably hoping to get some help from the audience. But she wasn’t going to find what she was seeking. At least not from the men who are waiting to pounce on her the first chance they get.
The girl looked exactly the one I encountered yesterday and since then, I haven’t been able to get her out of my mind. One look at her and I was drawn to her like a helpless moth. Last night I wanted to stake my claim on her but I wasn’t in a position to do so. And now that fate had granted me the golden chance, I was going to take it, no matter what the price.
“Since she is the youngest and the hottest piece tonight, the bidding shall begin at thirty thousand dollars”
Even before the announcer could put his tongue back in his mouth, people began shouting their bids. Looks like all the bastards desperately wanted her. Too bad that only one person would walk out of here with her. And that person is going to be me.
I pressed my earpiece, connecting the device to my partner, Zack.
“I’m bidding for her” I informed.
“Are you crazy? You know that’s not why we came here!” Zack snapped, almost breaching my eardrum. I knew that this wasn’t my first priority tonight, but seeing her changes everything.
“Change of plans. I’m buying her and you know how to deposit fake money into Bradford’s account” the words tasted bitter as discretely passed the instruction to Zack. We both knew that I didn’t want a part in this sick game of purchasing humans, but this time he had to trust me.
Zack must have thought that I have gone mad, but after grumbling something, he agreed.
When I shifted my focus back to the girl, I saw something that set my heart on fire. Some of the men in the front row began chanting that they needed to see her boobs and the next second, two men appeared and they peeled away her hands that were protectively wrapped around her frame, baring her upper body that was covered with a flimsy transparent material.
As expected, the crowd went wild and began raising more and more bids.
The way she shivered made me reach for my tab and type out the biggest number that came to my mind.
Twenty million dollars.
“Looks like we have a very generous bidder among us and he is willing to place a bid of twenty million dollars” the announcement came shortly.
That’s right you asshole, I am that generous. I smirked to myself, knowing that I was going to get her.
As though someone had suck out the whole air, the whole room feel silent at once, and then people began murmuring to each other, probably trying to guess who the bidder was.
But the girl’s reaction was the most priceless. She gasped and ran her terrified eyes across the room, searching for the man who was willing to let go of that much money just to have her.
Although it’s a huge sum, for me it’s just a drop in the ocean. Not that I was planning to give that much money in reality, but I could if I wanted to.
“Since I cannot see anyone raising their bids, is safe to say that twenty million dollars gets the girl” the words I yearned to hear boomed across the space.
As much as it gave me so much satisfaction to hear people’s disappointed scoffs, I was also guilt ridden. I must have given her a heart ache when I placed the bid, but it was for the best and soon she will realize it too. As of now, I have to be the bad guy.
Putting the tab away, I fixed my cuffs and stood up. I expected Bradford to come and greet me, but one of his new recruits came in his place, bathing me in disappointment. It meant that Bradford was not here. Hiding my frustration, I took the man’s hand and acted natural.
“My name is Yuri. Mr. Bradford couldn’t be here with us tonight, but he sends you his best” the man remarked with a practiced smile and I nodded timidly. I gave a quick glance at my watch to give an impression that I was running late and it worked because the man offered to escort me through the shortest way out.
“I’m leaving only when I get the thing I purchased” I reminded him casually as he walked alongside of me.
“Sir, the girl will be with you in a few minutes” saying that he broke away from me, leaving me at the guard of his men.
Time ticked by and he came back, but he wasn’t alone. One of his hands were firmly clasped on the chain that was latched to the blond girl’s hands and she was walked to me like a pet dog.
“Here’s your package, Sir” He dutifully passed the chain to my hands. I took it from him and gave him a nod before guiding her away from the men, towards my car. Surprisingly, the girl followed me like an obedient slave.
In between my steps, I snuck a look at her through the corner of my eyes and caught her peeking at me. But whenever our eyes met, she would look away, probably scared that I might hurt her. Most of the men hated when their women looked them in the eye, but I wasn’t like them. I wanted her to have some fire and stare me down until I am drowning in her hazel orbs.
I stopped when I reached my car and turned to unlock her hands from the chains. None of us looked at each other until the chain fell to the ground with a clang.
The men who stood guard outside smiled wickedly, thinking that I was going to ruin her in the car itself.
Sick bastards.
But when her face lifted and she looked me with those brimming eyes graced with innocence, I had to hold on to my demons so that I won’t corrupt her.
“S-Sir will y-you let m-me go?” she asked quietly, her angelic voice alluring enough to hypnotize me. For a moment she made me forget where I was. I was teleported to heaven and brought back in record speed.
I had to swallow and shake my head to come back to earth. Reminding myself that I was still in character, I adopted a cruel stance.
“I bought you for serving me, understood?” I growled and she flinched like I’ve slapped her. I hate this version of myself.
Fuck you Alexi!
“Enough talk. Now get in the car” I ordered and flung the door open. She shook like a leaf as she took an unsteady step to get inside, but suddenly her eyelids fluttered close and she swayed to the side.
“Dammit” I moved quickly and lifted her in my arms, before she could fall down and hurt herself.
“Start the car, Zack” I told to the person in the driver’s seat as I slipped into the back seat, her weak body cradled against my chest. Zack quickly removed his camouflage and without asking any questions he turned on the engine.
The moment my eyes met his on the rear-view mirror, he gave me a ‘what’s going on’ look.
“I’ll tell you when we get to safety” I stated and he muttered, “You better”
When the car began rolling, my gaze was drawn back to the pixie in my arms. Her lashes were long and curled, her nose perfectly shaped and her lips full and pink. Staring at her alone made my cock hard.
Bringing my nose to her hair I inhaled the feminine essence and it made my soul feel light. For the first time in many years, I finally felt at peace and I wished for that moment to never end.
“It’s time” Zack’s urgency riddled voice crashed me into reality. I opened my eyes that I didn’t even know that I had closed and scanned our surroundings. Now was the time.
“Do it” I gave permission and Zack moved his fingers on a mini computer like device placed on his lap. I kept on glancing back at the auction house, bracing myself for the spectacle when suddenly the girl stirred in my arms.
My attention easily shifted to her and I saw her gently opening her eyelids and peering up a me with confusion. I wanted to offer her a smile or a word of compassion, but all I did was stare back at her like an idiot.
That’s when the first bomb exploded inside the nearby building and the car suffered a jolt of shock. I knew that the girl must have seen what was happening outside because her hazel orbs that reflected flames were also latched with fear.
I followed her gaze and nonchalantly faced the widow, my heart thumping with the sight of victory. I couldn’t get Bradford tonight, but I destroyed his main hub of business and nothing gives me more satisfaction than that.
“D-Did you do it?” she asked quietly. The girl’s question surprised me because usually I was really good at masking my emotions but this time, maybe my joy was apparent on my face or maybe she had gathered the information from the command I gave Zack.
Instead of giving her the reply that burned at the tip of my tongue, I fixed her with a knowing look.
Apprehension tightened her features as she concluded, “Y-you did it...”
I only smirked.
“B-But why?” She asked a second later.
I bend down until my mouth was on her ear and whispered, “Because I am the Devil”
When I drew back her eyes where round, her breathing labored.
“W-will you h-urt me?” her voice quivered and before I could answer, she began hiccupping.
“Please *hiccup* d-don’t hurt *hiccup* me” she cried while trembling and the sight of tears dribbling down her cheeks stabbed my conscience with guilt.
“I won’t hurt you unless you give me a reason” it was all I could offer her at that point. A little worry faded from her face and I knew I had chosen the right words.
“Go to sleep” I said to her firmly and pressed her closer to my chest. Her hiccupping subdued after a few minutes and exhaustion won her as her eyes fell shut. She snored softly against my hard chest and something weird stirred in my heart, but I shook it off.
She was just like any other girl I’ve fucked and tossed away. In a matter of weeks, I will definitely forget about this girl and move on to the next one.
I don’t know why but I think the devil on my left shoulder just muttered, “Good luck with that”.
ALEXIMy head throbbed as if it had been hit by a hammer. Supporting its weight on my hand, I sat up on the couch. It took a moment for me to realize where I was.Wait.... How the hell did I pass out in my office?As I glanced down, I realized that I was naked except for my trousers. “Fuck” I winced when a bolt of pain struck my skull.The door opened and Michael waltzed in with a bottle of water.“What time is it?” I asked, my throat so dry that it felt like sand. How many drinks did I even have last night?“Close to noon” he answered, dropping the bottle and a couple of pills on the couch next to me.“Already?!” I groaned because I had missed a couple of things to take care of in the morning.“Should have thought about that before drinking to death” he murmured under his breath.I hated his judgy attitude and I would have expressed it vividly if I was in good health. I threw the pills into my mouth and chugged them down with water.“Do you remember talking to Mikayla last night?” his
ALEXII was in my office, peacefully going through the list of people I intended to kill before Christmas, when the weapons supplier called. The bastard has been fooling me for days. He said he’d deliver the weapons the previous week and eight days have passed since.I had very little patience left in me. Especially after my sister and Michael ganged upon on me in the kitchen this morning to accuse me of ‘traumatizing her with my terrorizing blahblah...’ I didn’t hear half of it anyway. Them being my family was the only reason I allowed them to find fault in my actions. I despised anyone who dares to tell me I was wrong.I let the phone ring out because I knew he was calling to tell me another bullshit excuse.A few seconds later he called again.Breathing out in frustration I grabbed the device and attended the call.“What excuse do you have now?” I spat with irritation.“S-sir it’s a genuine reason. W-we lost a ship at the sea during a storm” he whined.“I don’t want to know. And I d
I spent the rest of the day exploring the mansion with Stella who eagerly volunteered to be my tour guide. The first thing I asked her was the whereabouts of his office. She took me there but since it was empty we continued with the exploration.Our bond deepened as I shared my life’s story with her, including the things I endured when I was at Bradford’s.However, I purposefully left out the part where I ran from her brother. I didn’t want her to think that I harboured negative feelings for her family.“We have the most beautiful garden in the world.” Stella said, smiling ear to ear as she descended effortlessly through the steps and into the plush green of the garden’s moss laid ground.The garden was straight out of a fairy tale. It was unusually big, uniquely build and calming sight for the sore eyes.“Did you design this?” I asked, following her into an arch of orchids.“Yes, but most of the credits goes to Mikey” she lauded her husband. Then she smiled, lifting her long wavy skir
MIKAYLAAs I waited with baited breath a velvet voice purred in my ear,“You smell just like me, Tesoro”With a gasp I swiftly spun on the balls of my feet and lost balance. I tripped backwards but before I fell back a pair of hands looped around my waist, steadying me. My hands instantly flew to his toned chest for support.His ashened orbs bore into mine causing my heat to flutter violently. We were standing so close that I could see the dark grey freckles radiating from his pupils.Earlier when I was moping the floor on my knees in search of his key, I made a mistake of side-eyeing him and caught a glimpse of the bulge in his pants. I acted like I never saw it because I was worried that he might ask me to do something about it.I wasn’t scared of intimacy but being around him was like walking on eggshells. His imposing demeanour affected me in ways I could not control.I was getting lightheaded from the proximity when he let go of me. Miraculously my knees held it together and I rem
MIKAYLAHe left immediately after the episode.After making me crawl around like a toddler to find that stupid key and humiliating me, he departed without a word about what he intended to do with me. I was hoping to ask him for help to find my father but I doubted if he would ever allow me to even step out of his cage.When I tried a bold escape a few moments ago, I should have stopped upon realizing that none of the guards moved a muscle to stop me. They were chilling so their boss could come and swoop me up like an eagle, which was more embarrassing than I would like to admit.I rose from the carpet and nested on the bed, unsure of what to do next... until my stomach reminded me. I forgot about my hunger while he was here.What was I supposed to do? Should I sleep? Should I go down to the kitchen I search of food? Or should I go find Stella?Yup. That sounded good.I tip-toed to the door, opened it to peek outside to check if Alexi was still around. He wasn’t.I closed the door behin
ALEXIIf I was making her uncomfortable, she made no effort to hide it. The moment I occupied a spot next to her on the bed, she began scooting away. I rolled my eyes at her ridiculous act. It was not like I would eat her alive.Once she was at a ‘safe’ distance, Kayla peeked up at me from under her long lashes, as though she expected me to pounce on her any moment now.“Tell me how you ended up at Bradford’s place” I asked, ignoring the invisible wall she had erected between us. I wanted her to be comfortable with me but I didn’t know how to achieve it. She blew the only chance I gave her. But the fact that she could even assume that she would be able to escape from here on nothing but bare feet was pretty stupid in the first place.“Answer me if you want to be free; Or else we will stay locked for a week” I threatened when she remained unresponsive. Her face paled at my words.Of course I was kidding, but I knew she would take it seriously.“I-I’ll answer” came her instant reply.As
ALEXI“What are you hiding?” I narrowed my eyes at her.She blinked rapidly, caught off guard. She was playing innocent. Too bad I’m not going to fall for it.“You’re planning something in that pretty little head of yours, aren’t you?” my voice came out icy.“I’m...I’m not-” she blurted out ‘sincerely’ but the next second she flung the key right across the room. It crashed on the wall at the farthest end and dropped to the floor.Before I could guess her next move, Mikayla grabbed a pillow from the collection and chucked them at me one by one. The first one took me by surprise and smacked me square in the face but I was able to deflect the next two.“What is the matter with you?” I hollered, my tone deadly. Paying no heed to me, the girl jumped off the bed and ran straight for the door.She was escaping, not aware of the death traps that lurked on the other side. If she tries to do anything smart, my men would slaughter her even before she could lift her tongue to explain herself.“You
ALEXIHer demeanor changed quickly as she mindlessly sat up in bed. While she checked out the handcuff that dangled from my fingers, her eyes welled up with tears and spilled over her cheeks.It was just a piece of metal. What was she being so dramatic about?“Y-you are going to tie me up and t-torture the answer out of me?” her chin wobbled as she choked out.Woah! Where did she get that logic from?“No” I replied “I want you to tie me up”A shadow of confusion fell on her face, her ruby lips parting in an adorable way.“Y-You want m-me to tie you up?” she gaped in disbelief, pointing a finger at me and then back at her.“Yes” I admitted.“Umm...” she chewed her bottom lip nervously, unable to find words.“B-but why?” she implored a second later, summoning some courage.“You are scared that I might hurt you, and to reassure you that I’m not going to do that, I’ll remain in handcuffs while you answer my questions” I explained nonchalantly.Honestly, I did not care being tied up at all,
KAYLAHis beasty hands clasped around my ankles like shackles before he tugged them with brutal force.A squeal of surprise burst from my chapped lips as I landed on my back, my head missing the headboard by an inch.“No! *hiccup* d-don’t...” I kept on thrashing as my body was dragged down the mattress.“Shut Up” he growled, wrestling to keep me steady. When he found that I was not going to give up, he released my legs and crawled on top of me.“N-No...” panic seized my lungs when I saw the sheer size of the man up close. The predatory glare of his eyes would kill me before he did.I shook my head and pleaded with my tears when he confiscated my delicate arms that were battering on his broad chest.“Stop Moving” words wrapped in warning vibrated through the length of my body like thunder, rendering me immobile.Holding my gaze captive he began “I’m just trying to hel-”*SMACK*He stopped abruptly at the sound of a door burst open.“Alexi! What on Earth are you doing?” An unmistakably a
