Xander crimped his brows as he looked at Callie. He then asked her in a low voice, "What's going on?" Callie looked upset. She looked at Xander and sighed,"It's Veronica Sutton who did this. I saw her here, and she was very sure no one could find me here, She gave me up as a gift to this pervert, and this pervert kidnapped me and told me that my work would be to please men. He said that I could only leave after making much money worth the price of a diamond."He said, "It doesn't matter if I like it or not, I have to listen to his arrangement. Or else-" he would throw me into the ocean and feed me to the fish." She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She thought, “I have to be calm, I have to be calm.” Callie’s voice gradually became softer as she said that. She looked at Xander nervously.Xander was shocked, he couldn't believe his ears, Veronica was responsible for her kidnap, she knows Blade and knows the dark club. Wow!

The ride back home is silent for a while. As the driver drives, she can only stare out the window and wonder what could have happened if Xander didn't show up to rescue her. She felt loved and thankful. The real world is full of wickedness. She thought as she placed her head on Xander’s shoulder. “I love you so much,” Callie says with tears in her eyes. She moved his hand closer and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head against his chest. “I'll remember this moment forever," she says, looking up at Xander. He leaned in and kissed her on her forehead, feeling guilty. He knew this incident happened because of him, she went through all this just because his former girlfriend was desperate and evil. Xander held her tight and placed a kiss on her cheek and the top of her hair. “I love you more and will always protect you from danger.” He said.Callie put her face near his head and breathed in the scent of him, sighing with contentment from that familiar smell, she peacefully

The next day Callie woke up with a long yawn, she stretched her arms out over her head, though She kept her eyes shut as she tried to convince herself that it was time to get up. She was unable to sleep properly all night, with dark circles under her eyes. When she finally opens her eyes, the first thing she sees is Xander’s smiling face on the pillow next to him. She smiled back, knowing that it was time to get up and get ready for work. Instead of drawing it out any longer, they both sigh and get out of bed, ready to start the day."Are you going to work today?" Xander asks as he opens the curtains and lets the sunshine in."Yup. I'm headed in this morning to get some job proposals concluded.""Sounds good. I have a meeting at 10 am with some of the board members about the future of the company. I also have some deals to close. Immediately she heard deals, her face turned peeled, “I’m sorry for making you go through with this deal, I know, that property means so much to you and I’

Callista Aubrey Everett lived the perfect life. She owned an upscale apartment right in the business center of the city, where she also happened to work. Her job was something that she was passionate about and not just something she did to pay the bills. Callie also wasn’t terrible-looking - with her dark, blonde hair and blue eyes, she easily stood out, especially when she wasn’t dressed in pantsuits. Yes, she had the life. Unfortunately, at the moment, that involved listening to someone droning on and on about a business proposal in a meeting that should’ve ended half an hour ago. She didn’t understand how people thought that longer meetings meant better results - she could’ve been doing something more productive with her time. “In the interest of time,” Callie cut in when the presenter asked if anyone had questions. All heads snapped towards her. “Why don’t we include the rest of the presentation in Friday’s ‘Week in Review’? Then everyone can read up on it, and we can discuss

After a quick goodbye, Callie made her way to the parking lot. Before she knew it, she was on the road and headed to her grandmother’s house - the default venue for all parties. Her hands were clutching the wheels a little too tightly as she weaved her way through downtown traffic. The neighborhood wasn’t that far from her office, considering that most of her grandmother’s neighbors owned the businesses in the area where Callie worked. Their homes were lined up perfectly on either side of the street, huge sprawling mansions that couldn’t possibly be occupied even if all their children and grandchildren lived with them. You could barely see the houses because of the towering gates and the long driveway that led up to the actual front door. Most of the properties had security at the front gates or dogs guarding the grounds. Even though Callie had grown up there, she often felt like an intruder when the guard inspected her identification at the gates. She was always relieved when they

The party was in full swing by the time Callie arrived. Music was blasting so loudly from the rooftop bar that she’d heard it in the streets. Shaking her head in amusement, Callie entered the building and made her way to the elevators. She was deposited on the forty-sixth floor, where the party was. The cool evening breeze blew a bit stronger in the open area, and she was thankful for it. It seemed that the throng of dancing bodies created a hot and heavy mass. Opting to avoid the crowds, Callie headed for the bar beside the pool. It seemed relatively empty compared to the larger bar that was next to the DJ booth. Callie even found herself an empty stool where she could comfortably perch until her best friend found her. “I’ll have an Iced Tea, please,” Callie spoke up, smiling at the bartender. The tattooed employee who was manning the bar looked up sharply when he heard her order. “Do you mean a Long Island?” he tried to clarify. “No, I meant a regular one,” Callie replied, her

"Let me go right now. I didn't come here of my own free will. I have no relationship with that person, and she has no right to arrange my kidnap and also to gift me or sell me to anyone. No one owns me,” She said,Callie was so angry that her entire body trembled. She could only struggle with all her strength. The restraints on her weren't extensive,Let me go! Let me out of here!" Callie shouted with all her strength.You are holding me here against my wish, you don't know what you getting yourself into. I only belong to one person and if he finds out what you doing to me, including all you said to me, you will pay dearly for it."Moreover it is illegal for you to kidnap and keep a person against her wish, you can't take my freedom from me,” She said, This kind of illegal transaction is completely untenable and against the law.

Two months later, Callie had a slight step behind as she entered her office."It's an early morning for you today,” she remarked as she stood in the doorway to her office. "I'll have some coffee ready for you in a few minutes," Ruth said heading back to make coffee for Callie. It was Friday and Callie needed to check her mail and schedule for the day because she wanted to finish up on time and get home as early as possible that evening.Upon going through her iPad, she noticed her phone beeping, It was an unfamiliar number at first, and she hadn't wanted to pick it up.But the phone kept ringing, so she eventually picked it up. She gasped softly, not expecting to hear the caller on the other end. She regretted picking up the call immediately when she heard Veronica introduce herself."Callie, please this is Veronica Sutton, can we talk? Where are you? Do you have any spare time right now? Can we meet and talk?"There was only one thing that made her upset: Veronica called her.Calli

After a quick shower, Xander stepped into Callie’s room, he quietly approached her wearing nothing but a black rope. Callie had finished bathing and was drying her hair with a towel. He stared at her lustfully.“What Is it? Why are you looking at me like that?” She asked.“I was wondering since we are now at peace with each other, what are our options, he slipped his hand and kissed her. His soft lips slowly made his way to her ears as he whispered seductively, last night, I just wanted to kiss and make love to you.Callie glanced at him but she couldn't resist Xander's seductive words and found herself drawn into his passion. Their ropes somehow found themselves on the floor as they faced themselves with no barriers, they let each other become vulnerable as they held each other hands, and they slowly made their way to the bed, falling on the soft bed, Xander felt a sharp view by the sunlight coming from the window, he was happy Callie has forgiven him and was surprised she didn't re
