Chapter 2

Unknown pov.

"Please boss, it won't happen again." I shook vigorously while on my knees as sweat trailed down my forehead.

"You were expected to have transported the goods. What went wrong?" His eyes were on his gun and the next moment his eyes and gun were fixed on me.

"I_i." Words didn't seem to be forming well for me as I gazed at him with pleading eyes.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blow up your head right now!" His calm voice had a tone of seriousness in it.

"I am loyal to you." I gulped, hoping my words would ease him a bit, thankfully it did.

"Fine! I will give you till tonight, otherwise…" he placed his hand close to his neck and made a death sign.

"I want to get some good news." He said before getting up from the chair of his hideout which was located far away from the mansion. He would have normally sent some guys to deal with the issue but it involved his most loyal transporter.

Hunter's Pov

I caught her as she fell, her yellow eyes being unable to stay open. She was beautiful and from the way she looked, she was a young lady, probably in her late teens.

I kept my usual dark expression on as I made way to my room with my newly chosen slave in my arms. I didn't have time for women but Xander had somehow convinced dad that I needed one to satisfy the desires I wasn't sure I felt.

On getting to my room, I dropped her on the bed, chaining her in place to make sure she didn't escape.

There's something about you, something I can't quite figure out." I thought to myself as I watched her lay innocently on my bed.

The buzzing of my phone however, caused my attention to drift to the matter at hand. I had earlier received a call from my client who told me he hadn't gotten his goods from one of my loyal men.

My eyes scanned through the message I had received and a smirk plastered on my lips right away.

"We have him where you want him boss." The message informed me, and I didn't waste any time, I had a plan to deal with that rascal.

On my arrival, I found him trembling in fear. I didn't bother to ask him what caused the delay. All I wanted to do was blow his head off but because of how loyal he had been all these years, I decided to let him live. I handed the necessary instructions to my men before walking out.

I wasted no time on the fool as my ride home arrived, guards all clothed in suits protected me till I got into the car. Unlike my dad, I had a more civilised empire.

Getting home was something I didn't always look forward to and just like I suspected, My elder brother, Xander, waited for me at the entrance of the mansion's hallways.

"I heard you picked a slave and killed one of your men just because he hit her when she was clearly being stubborn." He had a scornful expression plastered on his face.

"The fool deserved it, he shouldn't hit women that way but a person like you wouldn't understand it. Men like you consider women as toys!" I walked passed him but stopped in my tracks when I heard his words.

"She's just a slave! You'll probably fuck her then she'll become useless to you." My back was facing him and I still hadn't moved as I listened to his every word.

"Are you done? Because the only thing I have to say to you is that I am not like you and would never be like you!" I replied to him. This time, moving to my room with the intention of not being stopped until I stood before the door of my room.

I gazed at the brown coloured door for a while, taking a sigh of relief before placing the key into the keyhole. In one turn, the door opened instantly and when I entered the room, I found her trying to hide herself which she knew was clearly impossible.

She showed so much fear and I was worried that if I went anywhere near her, she might pass out again.

"What's your name?" I asked her, pretending not to notice her presence as I walked to the other side of the room.

"Ie-sha." She answered, her voice cracked slightly and I wondered if she had been crying.

"Iesha." I murmured softly, liking the feel of her name on my lips, however I concentrated on what I was doing so that she could at least feel comfortable.

I took a seat before opening the bronze safe that was in front of me. The safe had a syringe containing a yellow liquid in it and the moment I brought it out, I heard her gasp from the other side of the room which made me turn to her only to find her struggling with the chain I had bound her with.

"Was she trying to escape?" My left brow was raised but I chose to give a blind eye to her tantrums. I studied the yellow liquid for a while when her soft voice echoed through the room walls.

"Is that a punishment for me?" Her scared eyes gazed at me for answers.

"No!" I screamed, and she flinched, apologising immediately.

"I'm sorry master." Her tone was mixed with fear and she had started sobbing again. However, I ignored her sobs.

"I'll send the servants to take care of you." I returned the syringe back to the safe before leaving the room.

Dad had decided to hold a family dinner today, hoping to restore a relationship I had never had with Xander. He didn't want his children to be divided yet Xander was the only problem.

The table was nearly complete and only Mikael, his mate Lilith and I remained to fill up the space.

"Here comes my young heir." Dad teased with a smirk on his face upon my arrival.

"I heard from Xander what you did today but don't you think that was too far? You killed your loyal follower for a slave!" Father banged his hand angrily at the table.

It was like he had been nursing the anger beneath his smirk.

"He hurt her dad, he deserved what he got." I said in-between grinned teeth.

"You see father? Soon he'll be able to kill us for that slave!" Xander yelled, his eyes gazing at me with jealousy and hatred.

"Enough Xander, if you have a problem with the way I handle situations you should shut up because dad made me heir!"

"Whoa, too much tension, calm down guys." Mikael my younger brother walked side by side with Lilith, his mate. He wore a smile on his face as he helped his wife take her seat before sitting on his.

"Did I hear right, did you really kill someone for a slave?" His tone was that of surprise and I could see he had keen interest in the matter.
