Julian's POV 

"Your freedom is limited. Live like it" 

I didn't need to see her face before knowing that she was the one. Grisella sat there in the garden with a book. My eyes roamed around her body. Anger coursed through my vein when I saw the kind of outfit she had on.

"Of course, nobody else would say that if not you" Grisella replied, her eyes still focused on the book..

"What are you wearing?" Ignoring her statement, I decided to tackle the current issue on ground. 

"Cloth" She answered truthfully. However I didn't consider her answer to be truthful.

"Cloth, my ass. This isn't no damn cloth. Is this how you show off much skin to everyone? Where are your morals?" I eyed her up and down scornfully.

She sighed before shutting her book. I could literally feel the aggression from the way she closed the book but I was more mad. 

"Do you go around scolding every other girl in here? I mean, if this is a prostitution quarter, we have to dress to win over customers right?" She raised her eyebrow at me

Prostitution center?

I scoffed, shaking my head. "This is my compound and only I and invited guests have the right into it." I yelled. "Hell, I do not run a prostitution.... Forget it"

"Meaning, every girl here is exclusively yours. Wow, you're enjoying" Grisella chuckled, shaking her head. "Can you believe that Josie?" 

At that point, I noticed the second girl who was there with her. I was solely focused on her. 

"Hi?" Josie waved at me when I looked at her.

"Come with me, Sel" I turned away, ignoring the Josie girl. My mind nagged at me to turn back to be sure she was coming with me. "I said, Come with me!"

"You're talking to me?" Grisella pointed at herself, before turning back to check if anyone was there.

So dramatic.

"Didn't you hear me call your name?" I groaned frustratedly. She definitely grew worse.

"My name is not Sel so I figured you were talking to Sarah over there. Yo, Sarah! I think it's your turn to service the Don" She yelled to a blonde girl who stood at the extreme 

The blonde girl smiled on hearing this, cat walking to where I stood. I raised my hand at her to stop. 

"Grisella." I started, taking a deep breath before continuing. "Come with me"

"Oh, don't worry Sarah. It's my turn" Grisella smiled at Sarah who threw a glare her way. "But wait.." 

"What again?" I almost yelled, glaring daggers at her. She seemed to be enjoying this as she smiled at me.

"You didn't return Josie's greeting" She pointed at Josie whose eyes widened in shock. 

"That's it?" I blinked repeatedly at Grisella who nodded in response. "I am not doing that" 

"Then, have a nice day. I'll see you when your guards come over here to drag me to you" She picked up her book.

The audacity.

"You wish" I gripped on her hand, pulling her up with so much aggression. "I don't listen to anyone. They listen to me"

Grisella surprisingly, didn't fight me. She just laughed. "I'll see you later, girl!" She said over her shoulder to Josie.

"Why do you like being dragged around?" I asked, pushing her into the board room. 

"Do I?" She raised her eyebrow at me. "Hey, this guy!" She pointed at Russo who in turn, glared at her.

"Pfft!" Russo scoffed before walking out of the room

"Where's he ... Come back!" She wanted to go after him but I pulled her back and dropped her ass on a chair. 

"Behave yourself, Grisella or else I might be forced to punish you" I warned. "Trust me, my punishments are not good"

"Why am I here?" Her icy blue eyes met mine. She had no emotion in them.

"Business" I said, picking up the marker from the desk. I strolled towards the white board. 

"Make it snappy. I have a book to complete." She said. I grinded my teeth, controlling my anger. 

"Firstly, try to put on a proper dress. This gown is too short and your cleavages are out there" I warned, getting it off my chest entirely.

"Is that all?" She said, inspecting her nails. 

"You are going to steal a rare jewelry for me" I started. At the mention of that, she sat up properly. 

"Oh, now you want me to steal for you? What am I, Your personal thief?" She folded her arms under her breasts.

"You need a real job and now you have one. Do you rather want me to sign you up in a strip club?" I frowned at her. She stared back at me, straight into my eyes.

"How much is it worth?" She asked. "Why are you stealing it?"

"Too much questions. Just do your fucking job" I began to draw the setting of the hall on the board. "Your target is a man in blue suit"

"Makes it more interesting" She stood up from the chair, walking closer before dropping her ass on the table 

"You're only to take the jewelry from his box. The code will be revealed to you before the day" I said, trying to bury the fury I was feeling inside me.

"Only that?" She bit her lips. 

"Yeah, only that. Can you handle it?" I asked her

"Are you worried about me, Master" She chuckled, raising her eyebrow at me.

"Worried?" I scoffed, looking straight into her eyes before I said the next thing. "My goal is to put you in danger"

She came down from where she sat, smoothening my shirt. "If that's the case, then let me assure you that you'll fail"

"Such confidence." I held her hand, stopping her from touching me. Her touch did things to me.

"Relay the date of the event and also drop the dress for the event. I need something free like a jumpsuit." She said, resuming her position -sitting on the desk. 

"It's tomorrow" I stated.

"Tomorrow?" Her eyes went wide. I got a reaction from her. Yes!

"Not enough time to plan right? I told you I had a goal" I chuckled, walking close to her

"I have one question though" She smiled. "Can I do anything with him?"

What the heck?

"No! You cannot do anything with him" I didn't even know when I cowered over her, my nose flared as I stared at her angrily.

"Why -"

"Am I interrupting something?" A voice said out of the blue. My eyes moved up to meet the owner of the voice.

"Actually -"

"Maybe you're one of his sluts. Anyway, I'm his Fianceé, Hannah"
