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
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
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
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
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
Alexi’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
Author's POVKayla stifled a yawn as she copied the detailed answer written across the white board. The Arithmetic professor stood near the desk at the front of the class room, going on and on about how the class needs to be prepared well for the test next week. Half of the students had already fallen asleep but Kayla couldn’t afford to slack off. Not after she found out that her father was a gambling addict.Two years ago, she lost her mother and ever since, her father’s coping mechanism involved a lot of gambling and drunk nights. During day time he would find some small work around the neighborhood to gather money to buy food for both of them but the leftover money often went into gambling. Luck almost never favored him and he mostly returned empty handed.But there were times in which he won. On those nights he would come home so drunk that sometimes he fell asleep at the front door. Those nights are the worst for Kayla. In his drunk state, her father would break and smash anythin
Alexi’s POV Sitting in my office chair, I clenched and unclenched my fist to control the rage that was burning through my veins. The man sitting across from me got to be the worst weapons dealer in the history of Ireland. Or else why the hell would he not deliver the weapons on time, even after knowing what kind of damage I could do. “I..I swear I just need two more weeks. I’ll get you everything you want. I’ll even refund a ton of money” the fucker pleaded. But this wasn’t about the money. “I already gave you three weeks’ time and that’s the most anyone should expect from me” I growled, my hands itching to beat the hell out of the pathetic excuse of a man. If not for his international connections with the mafia, he would have definitely had his brain blown out by now. “J..Just give me one week then. I’ll supply everything, including additional ammunitions with latest technology” he said in a quivering tone. Well, that sounds promising. “What kind of new stuff are we talking ab

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
ALEXISomewhere along the ride I took off my coat and covered her. She was so tiny that the cloth consumed her body up till her knees. Though there was enough space in the car for her to lay down, I chose to keep her in my arms.I was still in disbelief that I got the girl. Finally, she was all mine.Her unnaturally beautiful caramel eyes got me thinking if she was even real. How can a girl be so alluring and eloquent all at the same time?I had a feeling that I would become a better poet than Shakespeare if I were to describe her beauty. Though her body belonged to me, her heart was still out of my reach. But I was willing to turn the world upside down to catch a glimpse of her smile that could unravel a thousand emotions in my heart.She was like a seductive siren beckoning me closer only to disappear, leaving me all alone and mad, unable to figure out where she went. I haven’t seen her smile yet but I had time. I would keep her locked in my mansion and give her everything she desire
