Chapter 04

LEVI:

"Sir, the shipping of the goods has stopped. Alpha Xavier demands for even more than you offered him earlier." 

I halted the moment I heard him. I turned around to look at Aiden who was my best handbag. He was the closest to me and he was my beta too.

"Why?" I questioned.

"I have no idea. That greedy bastard always wants more from you."

I heaved deeply, tucking one hand into my pocket. I simply hate being tested, I hate being made a fool of, and I hate being given instruction. 

"Tell everyone to back down. I'll go there myself."

"But, it's fucking dangerous. Xavier knows you'll come and he had his men on the look out for you. It's simply a trap."

"That's why I wanna go, because it's a trap. It's time to show that motherfucker who's boss and who to mess around with."

I continued walking, heading straight into my Mansion. I'm Levi Grayson, 25 years old and the next capo di capi of my organization. 

15 years ago when I was 10, I lost my father to the cruel hands of Alexa's family. My hatred grows raw and deeper each day for them, especially for their daughter. I simply want to make her pay for the sins of her father.

My sister and I were forced to become orphans, and since she's the only family left in the world, I became successful in taking care of her. I'm one of New York's most successful and wealthiest Billionaires.

As I walked in, some maid rushed towards me. I took off my jean jacket and handed it to one of them, then my wristwatch, then my shoes.

"Where's she?"

"Where you want her to be sir." A maid replied to me.

I began heading towards the stairs, and every step I took, I hoped she would tremble in fear. I simply want to break her and make her live in misery until she begs for a merciful death.

Last night was simply just a show. What I have for her, is simply beyond her imagination. I've been searching for the Thompson only daughter for a very long time, and I was simply satisfied to see her being sold at the auction yesterday. She deserves even more pain than what I'm giving to her, or what I have for her.

I touched the door knob and twisted it, opening the door to meet the room empty.

"Come out." I groaned.

The room was empty, but I could feel her presence. I could perceive her scent as well and I could hear heartbeat racing so much.

I love the sound of her heartbeat racing in fear, and I can feel her fear… I can smell it and I love every bit of it.

"Come out Alexa, I don't wanna repeat myself." I instructed again, but she wasn't coming out. I began to take steps towards the corner where I knew she was hiding. Her boldness is simply making me even more curious to see how long she'll be able to endure my torture before she finally begs for her life to be taken by me.

The thumping of her heart increased, but it didn't stop me from moving further.

"You fucking want me to come get you myself." I said.

The moment I was almost at the corner where she was hiding, she came out but almost used a knife on me. I was quick to dodge it before pinning her to the wall with force 

She yelled in pain and let go of the knife.

"Trying to play petty tricks on me?" I questioned. I could see fear in her eyes. She had a towel tied around her waist and it made me want to fuck her even more aggressively than I was last night. Her body was mine, every single part of it.

"W…who… who are you. I know you?" She said, making me arch my brows as I stared at her.

ALEXA:

I definitely didn't know what took over me. When I woke up the next morning, I found myself in a cozy bed. My legs were hurting so bad from last night and I just realized that I didn't get to see his face at all.

Whoever he is, I don't ever wanna see his face. He's nothing but a cruel monster and he deserves nothing more than pain. I had this feeling all he wanted for me was pain and misery. His actions towards me said it all.

I groaned, forcing myself up on my feet, but my wobbly legs made me fall back on the bed. My private parts were on fire. The door suddenly opened making me jerk in fear, but thankfully a lady dressed in black and white walked in.

"Your bath is waiting for you." She said,

I didn't utter a word, but continued staring at her. 

"Ma'am." She called.

Ma'am? I'm fucking 19 for goodness sake. She snapped me back to reality by laying her cold hand on my naked body.

"Your bath is.."

"Oh thanks." I replied immediately.

I slowly rose up on my feet but fell down back on the bed. I was still finding it really hard to walk.

"Can you help me?"

She nodded her head understanding what was going on and helped me up. She led me towards the bathroom to a tub filled with soapy water and a fragrance that was so pleasing.

Carefully, I stepped in to feel the warm water. It made me feel so cool down there. 

"Thank you."

"If you need anything else, just call." She said and stepped out. I was beginning to wonder what was happening. A few hours ago, I was treated like the slave I was, but now why this treatment.

I wanted to stay in the tub forever but then I had to step out after an hour. I stepped out and grabbed two towels. One I tied around my waist, and the other on my dripping wet hair.

I walked out of the bathroom, and headed straight for the wardrobe, but there was nothing in there for me to put on. Just before I could make a call like the lady had said, I began hearing footsteps heading towards the room.

My heartbeat increased. I tried telling myself it might be one of the maids, but with every other step, I found myself getting scared even more.

I looked towards the table and found a small knife. For the sake of my protection, I picked it up and found a corner to hide. I won't let myself get tortured in the manner in which I was tortured last night. I'm gonna fucking kill him. Even after saying these words, I was still scared.

My hands couldn't hold the knife properly. My legs were shaking so much and I was beginning to sweat. The door knob made a tiny sound before the door was opened. I couldn't step out from my hiding place. I suddenly heard his voice and the knife I was holding almost fell from my hand. I tried to take in a deep breath to control my fear, but I was still afraid he would hear me.

He warned me to step out, but I refused. 

Because of my stubbornness, he started coming closer to me. When I saw an opportunity, I stepped out from my hiding spot and pointed the knife towards him, aiming for his heart, but he caught me and pinned me against the wall with force.

I was so stupid to think I could underestimate him.

My eyes were closed. I heard him sneer angrily.

"Open them." His icy voice told me. I would be stupid if I fail to listen to him for a second time.

I opened my eyes only to see the shock of my life. I had to flutter my brows multiple times in order to be sure that I wasn't mistaken about the man standing right in front of me 

It couldn't be true. Not after everything I'd imagined he could be. My fated mate would never treat me in such a manner and my realistic dreams made sure of that.

"W…who… who are you. I know you?" I was finding it hard to gather the right word.

This is him. This is the same man that appears in my dream. The same man I call my knight in shining armour. What sort of trick is fate trying to play on me?

I was brought back to reality when he suddenly pulled down my towels making me stand naked right in front of him.
