The man passed her a sinister smile that didn’t reach his steel eyes. Neither it looks comforting; in contrast it looks like it holds some bad intentions for her. “Forget drinks. I wanna buy you for one night. So, tell your price.”
“W…What?”
He nodded and repeated. “You heard me right. I want to buy you so tell me your price.”
Gina gaped at him incredulously. She couldn’t believe her ears. He wants to have sex with her and for that he was willing to pay money.
The thought that for his sick twisted pleasure he buys women makes her stomach revolt in dislike. One thing was sure that he might appear handsome outside but from inside he is a vile hollow man.
He thinks her to be a slut.
A prostitute!
But why?
Then she realized.
Because of this inappropriate revealing dress he mistook her to be a slut and was asking her price for one night. She shouldn’t have listened to Mia’s ridiculous demand.
“Y…you’re g…getting me wrong. I’m not what you think.” She tried to twist her wrist and the way he was holding it in a steel grip was hurting her.
“Doesn’t matter. I wanna buy you. Spend one night with me and I promise you won’t regret one moment of it.” He spoke in a calm and confident tone as if it wasn’t something he hasn’t done before. But for her all this was new. She had never encountered this before. She is a simple, third-year graduating student!
“I am a simple girl. I’m not… I’m not…” Gina stammered to utter that she is not a prostitute when he cuts her off.
“Money, car, luxurious apartment, anything. Just name it?” He insisted finding her lost in her own thought. “Whatever is fine for you will be fine for me.”
“I’m not here to sell.”
“But I want to buy you!” He declared firmly and she was flabbergasted at her place. She clearly told him that she wasn’t what he thinks her to be and couldn’t be bought yet he is insisting.
Why is this small fact not getting in his thick skull? Instead of arguing Gina struggles to free her wrist from his clutch. Once she frees herself from his grip, she promises herself that she would never visit this place.
Ever again!
“L…leave my hand.” She grits between her teeth and shots him a glare who in returns chuckles enjoying her struggle. Then what he does knocks all the breath out of her system.
He tugs her wrist with such force towards himself that Gina gasps and she comes crashing against his chest, her hands flew to his shoulder for support. Everything happened in a fraction of second.
One moment she was fighting him to free her wrist and in the next moment her body was pressed against him. She can smell his manly cologne. Her cheeks burned at their close proximity.
Trembling she abruptly tried to pull back only to find his hand around her waist. Chills runs down her spine, her instinct signaled her something wrong going to happen.
W…what is this? L…let me go.” She demanded but it went deaf in his ears as he dips his head.
“Making it easy for you to decide.” He rasped, his face drew closer and captured her lips in a kiss.
Gina stopped breathing. She froze.
When his rough lips began to move on her lips, her eyes grew wide.
Her first kiss!
He took that from her!
Gina felt him sucking and licking her lower lip. A foreign sensation rose in her belly. She gasped when she felt his hands squeezing her butt and taking that as a cue his tongue plunged deep in her mouth and caressed every nook and corner.
Her heart began to gallop wildly inside her chest and she wiggled pushing his chest but the man didn’t budge an inch from his spot nor did he stop what he was doing to her.
Tears stung her eyes.
His tongue dancing against hers. Tasting and devouring her mouth in ferocious strokes. She pushed using all her strength, too desperate to free herself from him.
Some seconds later what felt like eternity for Gina, he let go of her mouth before giving a last nibble on her lower lip as if he wasn’t ready to let go.
Leaning away, the man stared at her with diluted pupils as if he was in a trance. A faint smile adores his lips.
Gina stared back at him and when she saw the faint smile on his face and no regret upon his action she glared. Her chest rose up and down as she was panting. Slowly she brought her hand to her swollen lips and gently touched it. She winced, feeling the sensation of his lips and her mind replayed what just happened.
He took away her first kiss!
Embarrassment.
Humiliation.
Frustration.
Anger.
She felt all at of them at the same time and the next her right hand flew in the air and slapped him hard across his cheek. She did that with such force that her own palm stings with its impact while his face turned to the other side and his hands on its own unclasp her waist freeing her from the deadly grip.
Every other person who witnessed the scene gaped at them with mouth hanging wide open.
The DJ stopped the music.
Even the staff paused and watches the scene with anticipation and fear for they knew who the man is and what he is capable of doing to the girl.
Gina stumbled a little when his hands left her frame but managed to stand on her heels.
“I clearly told you I’m not out for sell. I’m not a whore. Why don’t you get that!” Gina bellowed, losing all the self control she had. Her whole body was shaking with anger and disgust. She wants to stab him millionth times for kissing her without her consent.
After what he did with her, she learnt one thing that he is not a gentleman because gentleman never forcefully kisses a woman. And without her consent!
He is a despicable man. He is… even her vocabulary lacks curses for him.
With accusatory eyes, she takes a step and standing right before him with head held high she said.
“Listen Mister, if you bring the entire asset you got and drops them on my feet yet I won’t sell myself.” She paused for a second.
“Rather I will kill myself than let a disgusting man like you to touch me!”
Soft gasp escapes from some people who know him but she was too drowned in anger to notice it.
“Gina, what are you doing?” Mia came running to her side and whispered eyeing back and forth at the man and at her.
Mia was dancing but when the music turned off, her movement halts and she look around finding everyone standing like robots. Then she heard her friend’s loud voice, she was yelling at someone and when she saw the man her heart drops in the pit of her stomach and her hands covers her mouth because she recognize the man.
Her friend is in deep shit!
Horrified she rushed to her friend although she heard some of her words yet she queried what got to such length, but the girl wasn’t in a state to look at her or say something.
Blind in rage Gina was glaring at the man who raised his hand and caressed the spot where her hand landed few minutes back. His cloudy grey eyes were unwaveringly stared at her. There was a dark ferocity in his eyes whereas his face was stoic. Void of any emotion.
“Come with me! Just… come with me!” Mia panicked seeing the unmerciful look on his eyes and grabbing her arm she almost dragged her and took her away from there.
Only if she knew that nothing can stop her impending doom!

The first thing he felt against his eyelids was heaviness. Darkness behind his lids clung to like a second skin. He felt suffocating pain that flared in his arm dragging him into semi- consciousness before pulling him back down.He wanted to peel his eyelashes but it was as if he has no energy left in him to do so. In between he heard some chaotic voices. Strange ones and with different ascents he didn’t know. At times he misheard her voice too. But perhaps that was his mind playing tricks, torturing him with the echo of someone who had abandoned him. Then his mind was slipping again._______After two days, Alvish finally opened his eyes and the first thing he noticed was wooden ceiling above him and brightness that coming from lanterns. It was unfamiliar. Then it strikes. He wasn’t in his mansion and like that everything rushed back in his mind.A faint smell of herbs hung in the air, sharp and earthy. It was not the sterile tang of alcohol and antiseptic he was used to in the cit
The car speeds through the road.From the moment he rescued her from those goons, Gina had been peering at him who with clench jaw was busy fully focused in running the car in full speed.Her eyes were in daze peering at him. An overwhelming feeling makes her chest heavy.For the first time she was so happy to see him when those bad men were taking her. If he won’t have come on time and saved her then she cannot imagine what might those goons have done to her. they might have killed her or the worst.But he saved her! Feeling her gaze, Alvish sneaks a glance in her way only to find her deeply looking at him like a statue.He frowns and asks, “do you want to say something?” His voice brought her back inside the car and she blinks several times realising she was actually looking at him more than necessary, so she turns her head away from him and placing her elbow on the frame of the window she peers outside. A gust of cold wind flutters her hair.From last night she was getting to witn
Meanwhile Alvish parks his car outside the supermarket and strides inside. His cold eyes darted around the place in search of her presence but he couldn’t find her so he reaches the end of the market and reach the place where all the fridges present but to his dismay she wasn’t even there. Just then he stepped on something and when he glanced down to check he noticed a paper tub and all the content of ice cream melting on the floor messing the sole of his shoe.Something strike in his head and he marched towards the cash counter.“Show me CC TV footage.” He demanded the girl sitting at the counter who lifts her head and peers at him.“Now.” He ordered and pulled out his gun from behind and placed at the counter and seeing the gun the girl turned pale and obliged to his command and gets into work with the computer. He ordered her to show the footage of an hour ago and she nodded her head obliging his command.As the footage plays after some time he saw Gina entering the market and then
Next morning, she woke up alone in the bed, his was already gone. She sat on the bed and noticed a light duvet was draped over her. Raking her fingers through her long hair, she exhales a deep breath, her mind replayed their conversation and his action in a loop inside her head.His words, his behavior stunned her. Last night he didn’t try to get intimate with her and even he seeks forgiveness for every sins he has committed. Although he was drunk, she won’t lie his apology felt so genuine then a small part inside her body is badly affected by it.But the biggest and most important question is does she wants to forgive him?She doesn’t know.With a deep sigh, she removes the duvet and got down on the floor to get ready for her classes.Even in between her classes she would often drift back to last night incident for which she couldn’t pay attention properly. Her mind was chaotic with his thoughts.After class, as usual she waited for Diego to pick her but after half an hour when no
“You are so cute…can I eat you.” Gina swats his hand from her face rather roughly and opens her eyes glaring at him.“Don’t touch me!”“Then I will settle with holding you.” He slurred in tipsy tone and wrapping his arms around her waist he pulled her close who came stumbling against his chest and he rested his face against her soft breast.Gina not seeing it coming was startled for some seconds and when she realized her heart beat increased fanatically. She balled her fist in each side as she stared at his head observing how he was hugging her like a small baby.“L… leave me…” Her voice came out stuttered and she don’t know why. His behavior was affecting her in a different way. It making her feel things she had never felt before.When he didn’t move, she pushes her shoulders and struggles to free herself.“Alvish, leave me!” This time she took his name in a strict tone making him lift his head and he peers at her with a sulking face. The intoxication has turned him into a different
After Diego dropped her at the mansion and left, Gina changed her dress and freshen up. Her mind wants to drown in the misery which his insults have caused to her soul but she forced her mind to not think about their conversation and got herself busy with her studies just to distract her mind.Even she finished her dinner clean bowl as she forced feed herself just to prove her mind that she was fine and his words weren’t affecting her then sat on the study table to finish her assignment that she will be summiting tomorrow when her cell phone chimed.“How far it’s going?” The moment she picked the phone and pressed it to her ear, Enzo’s voce flooded into her ear and she paused for a second processing what he was referring.“I won’t do this.” She replies firmly. She has thought about it several times. No matter what she wouldn’t taint her hand with his blood. Not because he doesn’t deserve it but she can’t simply take a person’s life. It’s not in her DNA to kill someone.Moreover, he ha
