Mag-log inShe had taken away his best friend, and he was determined to make her pay dearly for her regrettable mistake. A ruthless mobster is willing to make a girl suffer firsthand for daring to kill his best friend, even if it was in self-defense. He will show no mercy, and simply repaying her in kind won't suffice; he knows death would be too easy for her, which is why he kidnaps her, subjecting her to a true living hell. Elisa is an exotic dancer who uses her body to attract the attention of men who pay well, money that she uses to pay for her university studies. A virgin and naive girl who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Eliminating every friend or acquaintance around her wouldn't be enough. His hatred is lethal and his resentment imminent. An enchanting and unknown weakness for the mafia, and a beautiful misfortune for the sweet innocent. She only wanted easy and quick money to pay for university, and now she must pay a blood debt for defending her honor. How long will that justice with a taste of revenge last? And what if that justice turns out to be a double-edged sword?
view moreAt seven in the evening, a Boeing business jet touched down at Sandviken Airport.
The cabin door opened, and a tall, slender figure emerged. He looked at the sky and stretched out his hand to catch a few glistening snowflakes. Standing under the warm orange light, he was in no hurry to leave, his face turned to the side as he patiently waited for the delicate white flakes to slowly pile up on his coat shoulders.
Time seemed to stand still.
Finally, the butler, Malcolm, approached him. "Young Master, your grandfather has requested that you go directly to the mansion upon your arrival."
After getting off the plane, a black Bentley was waiting in the square. He got into the car and glanced out the window - the snow seemed to fall heavier.
Stepping off the plane, a black Bentley awaited him in the plaza. He got into the car and looked out the window as the snow fell even heavier.
"What about her?" Murray, weary, leaned back in his seat, massaging his temples.
The butler replied: "Miss Rockefeller has been at the villa ever since you went abroad; she hasn't stepped outside once."
"She hasn't left the house all month?" Murray opened his half-closed eyes, a mocking smile on his pale lips. "How obedient of her."
"Miss Rockefeller plays the piano and dances daily, with over a dozen people waiting on her - her days have been comfortable enough."
Murray: "Go to the villa."
The butler was somewhat concerned. "Today is Thanksgiving, sir, and the elders are all waiting for you."
Murray tilted his chin up slightly, his voice cool. "They've already waited this long; a bit more won't matter."
"Yes, sir."
The car headed towards Elite Peak in the western part of the city.
Thanksgiving is the most significant holiday. The Elite Peak Resort's villa complex was decorated festively, softening the cold, aloof luxury of the villas.
The car stopped in front of a standalone villa halfway up the hill.
The snow continued to fall; uniformed servants lined up in two rows outside the main door to welcome him.
Beyond the gate was a path paved with cobblestones, flanked by various shapes and sizes of potted plants and trees.
Murray paused before a newly planted white plum tree in the yard.
The white plum tree was thriving, with a graceful shape, fine yet strong branches, and flowers with white petals and yellow centers, each seeming to dance in the breeze.
He stood quietly for a while, then turned to the butler and said, "Let them have a holiday."
"Yes, sir."
Although he had agreed, the butler still tried to advise, "Should we keep a few to cook and clean?"
"No need. You should go rest as well."
After dismissing everyone, Murray stood alone in the yard, looking towards the second floor. The house was unlit, shrouded in darkness, exuding a sense of vast, quiet emptiness.
Entering the hall, Murray shed his coat, which was wrapped in the chill of the outside, and headed straight for the second floor.
The entire second floor was a massive, unobstructed space, with walls on all sides made of large glass panels. The ceiling was also made of crystal, clear enough to reflect a person's silhouette.
In the center of the room was a large circular bed on which a woman was soundly asleep.
Scattered haphazardly on the expensive carpet were empty wine bottles, including the rare vintage he had won at Christie's auction. The Persian "Vase" carpet, a national treasure bought at the London auction, was also stained by spilled red wine and whiskey.
His expression was impassive as he glanced indifferently at the woman on the bed.
She was wearing a shimmery pink heavy silk satin robe, very long but revealing a glimpse of pale calves. Her skin was flawless, like porcelain.
Her long hair shone in the faint light seeping through the windows, lush and smooth as satin. Her features were exquisitely elegant, so just a glance was enough to stir endless fantasies.
Murray's throat involuntarily tightened. He didn't wake the woman on the bed, instead undressing and entering the bathroom.
"This is my breeding ground, also, my collection. "
After his shower, when he returned from the bathroom, Emily Rockefeller had awakened. She sat up, her face clouded with confusion.
"You said you wouldn't be back for three more days?"
Murray was adjusting his cuffs, answering her absently, "Oh? Did I disrupt your plans by coming back early?"
"Hmph."
Emily got out of bed, swaying unsteadily as she approached Murray and wound herself around him like a snake, undoing the shirt buttons he had just done up.
"I thought I wouldn't get to sleep with a man for three more days, but now one has just walked through my door. Would you say that's disrupted my plans?"
Murray glanced coldly at her. "Stop messing around."
"But I want to."
Emily bit down on his prominent Adam's apple.
At that moment, the man's defenses completely collapsed. Amidst intimate caresses, his body ignited, his eyes radiating a strange radiance.
"You always seduce me with some motive, so tell me - what is it you want this time?"
His voice remained cool and detached, devoid of emotion, as if the person lost in passion was someone else, while the speaker was merely an observer.
"Elton... he's returning to the country soon, and I want you to give him the position of CEO at Fiduinvest," Emily managed to say, her speech broken by his movements.
Murray scoffed. After a pause, he intensified his grip, his tone laced with mockery, "Did he ask you to plead for him?"
Emily clenched her teeth. "No, he doesn't know about us."
"Really doesn't know?"
Murray frowned, breathing heavily. His hand gripping her waist tightened, eliciting a muffled groan from Emily. She couldn't continue speaking, only gasping for breath on his shoulder.
Murray got up and lightly lifted Emily, carrying her towards the bathroom.
"So, you agree?" she managed to ask.
"I'll see how you perform," replied Murray, pulling her into the spacious bathtub. Murray pulled her into the spacious tub, water splashing as a new "battlefield" began.
...
Perhaps because it had been too long, he was exceptionally vigorous this time, leaving Emily utterly exhausted. By the last round, she nearly lost consciousness.
"I think you need to improve your skills. Regardless of profession, you should know it's survival of the fittest. Understand?"
Murray was handsome, with chiseled features and a sculpted face. But because he seldom smiled, his eyes held a hint of gloom.
So his words didn't sound like he was joking, but rather more like a boss admonishing a subordinate.
With her last breath, Emily nodded. The boss was right.
"Thank you..." She didn't know how to address him, as she couldn't remember if he had told her his name before."Arnold.""Arnold," she replied with a smile. "I'll step outside for a moment, I need some air," she excused herself."Go ahead."The brunette made a small bow to him, as she wasn't too used to dealing with formalities in that culture.She wanted to be outside to see if she could find Igor and talk about the afternoon, but she quickly remembered it was Saturday and she would probably see him in a couple of hours.As she was heading for the exit, Samuel blocked her way, and she frowned. Was Andrei now controlling her to prevent her from leaving that part of the house?"Yes?""Andrei wants to see you.""Andrei is talking to a woman, so I doubt he wants to see me," Elisa replied somewhat angrily. "And if he really wants to see me, tell him to stop sending messengers and to stop being an idiot," she continued on her way, and Andrei's man smiled.That girl had grown up so quickly
Idiot Andrei, he was an idiot and didn't deserve her love, her tears, or her sadness.He deserved a prostitute who wanted his money and sex, nothing more, not a girl like her who offered him pure and sincere love.“Fine…” she got up and climbed off Andrei, and he frowned, surprised by his own reaction, realizing he didn't really want her to get off. “You're not doing your job right, I told you that to get back into my pants you were going to have to lie to me, but you're still being insensitive…” she started walking away without looking back, just walking angrily, and he watched her from his spot."That stubborn, obstinate girl," he thought, rolling his eyes.Elisa, for her part, slammed the door and threw herself onto her bed to cry, thinking about how miserable she was, with a man who was unwilling to let himself be loved and also, with a guy like Igor, so sweet and tender who had confessed his love to her.She thought about the irony of her situation and again wished to be far away
"Promise you won't drive drunk again?" she continued hugging him."I promise..." He stopped looking at his leader to look at Elisa, gently moving her away from his shoulders, without alarming himself or anyone else.He wasn't sure how much Andrei had heard, but his gaze didn't seem like a threat either.Elisa smiled as she watched him stand up. She offered her hand to help her up, and she accepted it, looking at him with a smile bidding him farewell, and he reciprocated.When he turned around, he found Andrei looking at the dummy, and when he saw her from the corner of his eye, he then turned his gaze. That scared her. Why hadn't Igor said anything or reacted? What did he intend with that or what did it mean?"Hello..." she greeted him, and he continued to look at her face without any expression.That distressed her and slowly killed her hopes; it was like living day by day in a slow and complete torture."Hello," he approached her a few steps, while she hesitated to step back or sta
Her bed felt so cold! She didn't want to move because every other place felt equally chilly, and she longed for warmth.Pouting, she remembered that this was the first night she had spent alone in quite some time, and that brought Igor to mind.She couldn't help but smile. How were they supposed to talk now? Would it be right to pretend that nothing had been said?Of course, pretending wasn't right; it was rude and could hurt that strange yet adorable blonde boy. But she was also scared; she feared Andrei's reaction if he found out. What would he do to Igor?She couldn't bear to see him in trouble because of her. She didn't want him to lose everything he had gained just because of her.Elisa missed seeing Igor come into her room to deliver Andrei's messages. It wasn't necessary anymore, as now it was the leader himself who would talk to her, or rather, he was the one she saw every day when she woke up.Andrei... She missed him and closed her eyes. Why couldn't she fall in love with Ig
By nightfall, Elisa was dressed in her new clothes: a tight-fitting short white dress that accentuated her curves and waist with silver detailing, along with revealing her legs, paired with black heels.At least it didn't have a grotesque neckline and covered her buttocks, which was enough for her.Sh
If he was going to dismiss her like that, as if mocking her, then she didn't want to stay there, no matter how much she wanted to be close to him.She closed the door behind her and stood in the hallway, feeling the urge to cry with a hand on her neck.She didn't want to return to her room, where she
Elisa looked at him confused, somewhat stunned by his radical change in attitude.Andrei, on the other hand, looked into her eyes with that empty gaze he usually cast upon everyone, incapable of showing a hint of warmth or any other noble sentiment."You... you're sick," the brunette spoke then with d
She was desperate and felt herself losing strength as he continued to exert pressure.Elisa was cornered and immobilized by the taller man, feeling that this time everything about fading away and dying slowly was becoming a physical reality, not just a mental one.She dug her nails deeper into his ski
