Savage Love

             (You’re my possession)

"B*tch! F**king stop right there!!"

Her eyes widened when she felt them approaching so she began running faster and deeper into the forest. Her loud panting and the rustling of the dry leaves as she stepped on them was what was heard as she ran

Thick and tall trees with bushes was what surrounded her, she had no idea of where she was heading to but what was in her mind was to escape from those men.

"I can't go back to them, he'll kíll me once he finds out I escaped!" She thought.

"Arh!!" A frightened cry escaped her lips when the men shot her but it didn't touch her. Instead the bullet flew to a tree.

Tears escaped her eyes as she kept running more and more. If someone told her that she will wake up to a day like this, then she'll call the person a liar.

It all started like a joke and now just with a blink of an eye she's in a mess with no way out.

••HOW IT ALL BEGAN» ONE WEEK AGO••

A bright smile was on Amour's face as she walked out of her small house with her carriage.

She's an ice cream vendor. She makes and sells ice cream for a living. Amour depends on nobody, since day one she only depends on herself for food and other.

"Good morning madam Margo!" Amour waved at a woman who was her neighbor

"Oh Amour! How are you?" She asked with her hand on her waist, supporting her protruding belly

"I'm fine.. I can see the baby is growing healthy, please stay safe. Don't worry I'll pass over and help you out with laundry" Amour said

"Awwn you're such a sweetheart" The woman smiled.

Amour smiled widely "Have a nice day!" She waved before leaving with her carriage.

22 years Amour Lopez is known to be the kindest soul in her neighborhood. She helps whoever is in need and that makes her loved by everyone.

Though she isn't really the prettiest girl there can be, but her character just makes her inner beauty radiate

Immediately Amour got to the spot she sells, kids immediately swoon around her to buy ice cream from her before they head to school

She served the kids one after the other, unknown to her that a black car suddenly parked at the opposite side of the road she sells.

"Why did you ask me to stop? Didn't you hear that the clan was waiting for us, looks like someone stole money... Huge money" A man who was sitting on the driver's seat said.

He held a cold look on his face as he gazed at the man beside him who was smoking.

The man beside him brought his cigarette to his lips and puffed out smoke before his lips curved in a slight smirk with his gaze not leaving Amour

He stared at Amour for a short while before looking front.

"Nothing, let's go" He muttered and Viper looked at him for a short while before looking front

The window rolled up and the car drove off instantly.

Just in 20 minutes, Amour finished selling out her ice cream.

"What is happening?" Amour wondered, blinking her eyes as she watched 6 cars pass at the same time in front of her

Even some men dressed in black were seen patrolling the area, asking questions to people.

People: It's THE DARK BULLS!!

People: What could be their reason for coming down to our town

People: I heard that someone stole from Godfather so they're looking for the thief

Amour gasped at what she heard. The Dark Bulls is a very big mafia clan established beside their town.

They bought the law so the police is on their side, nobody the gravity of their crime they'll still go free.

Rumors has it that the young ladies who disappear from their small town are actually taken there where they are forced to work as harlots.

Cold chills immediately ran through Amour and she immediately began packing her stuffs to leave. The last thing she'll ever want is to run into them.

She began packing her things hurriedly when her gaze to went to a big black bag beside her stand.

"It wasn't here before" She thought and crouched down then opened the bag.

Her eyes widened when she saw the bag was loaded with heavy bundles of money.

"What is it doing here? Why is it with me?" She thought and immediately froze when she heard a voice behind her

"We're looking for something so we need to search your bag" A female voice said.

Amour immediately began trembling. Could this be the money they're looking for? Why is it with her? Who kept it here?

"I... I..."

"Boss lady! That's the bag we're looking for!" One of the mobster said, looking at Amour

"What!!" The owner of the female voice (Cheetah) pushed Amour aside and opened the bag. Truthfully, the money was there.

"She's the thief!" Cheetah smirked and faced Amour

"The bag isn't mine! I swear, I don't know how I ended up with the bag! I just saw it laying over there and-"

Cheetah didn't waste time to punch Amour on her face and she went down.

"You even have the guts to lie!" Cheetah sneered and kicked her tummy twice.

"Argh!" Amour held her tummy, rolling down on the floor

The people around just looked at the scene before them with wide eyes.

People: She's the thief!

People:

I can't believe it.. Amour of all people

People: What do you think they'll do to her?

People: I can just imagine the worse

Amour slowly sat up from the ground.

"I didn't steal it, I-"

"Shut up!" Cheetah kicked her face with her leather boots and Amour to spit out blood as she fell on the ground again

She began feeling dizzy and the next thing she knew, her eyes automatically shut down

"Take her... Let's get her to Aurelio" Cheetah said, carrying the bag.

The men carried Amour and entered a van before driving off immediately.

••AURELIO'S SUITE••

Inside the suite's room, smoke was what filled the air of the room. When the smoke dissipated, the figure of a tall man seated on a couch was seen

He had his leg crossed gallantly on top of the other as he smoked, occasionally puffing out smoke from his mouth.

The aura surrounding him was as deadly as he is. With inky black hair, thin eyes, pointy nose, tall and muscular figure, this man was a perfect definition of a Greek God.

The whole of his right arm was covered with tattoos, making him look even more dangerous.

A knock came up on his door

"Come in" His voice resonated.

The door to his room opened and Viper walked in with the usual cold look on his face.

"Aurelio, the mission you gave Cheetah was successful. The thief has been caught, turns out to be a girl" Viper said, walking to Aurelio.

Viper is Aurelio's closest ally. He's the coldest in the clan, you'll never see him smile or laugh. The only person he has long conversation with is Aurelio.

"God father is still on his trip to Spain, so you're in charge. What should we do to her?" Viper asked.

Aurelio smirked and puffed out smoke from his lips.

"She'll be fed to the tigers by noon" Aurelio spoke and Viper nodded

<11:50AM>

Amour's eyes slowly opened and she squinted her eyes when the sun hit her eyes.

Her eyes slowly adapted to the light and her eyes widened when she saw she was in an arena with a big cage before her.

A groan escaped her lips and she made to move her hands but couldn't because she was chained up.

The noise coming from the men sitting with their eyes on her caught her attention and her eyes widened when she saw how much they were.

She wasn't chanced to process everything when a whip landed on her back

"Argh!!" She cried out and Cheetah chuckled, walking to stand in front of her.

Cheetah is the strongest female mobster in the clan and also the closest female to Aurelio, they were both trained at the same period by Godfather and that earned her the name “Boss Lady”

Only her and Viper calls Aurelio by his name.

"You'll regret ever doing that.. You ugly thing" Cheetah said and gave her one lash.

The lash was so hard that it tore her white dress, wounding her.

Cheetah smiled and grabbed her hair harshly before lashing the whip out on her cave, it gave her a long and ugly cut on her cheek.

Tears escaped Amour's eyes.

"I swéar, I'm not a thief. I didn't steal from you, please spare me" Amour cried but a punch was what blessed her face.

A girl hummed as she walked in the arena and her eyes scanned around till she spotted her twin brother so she went to sit with him.

"I thought I was late for the execution" She said

That's Indigo, she's just 19 but is a human computer. She's the leader of the clan's hackers, you'll never see her frowning coz she's always smiling and that that makes her look cute with her dimples

"The thief turns out to be a girl" Indigo's twin brother, Saint said. He's more specialized in the use of snipers.

"That's so sad.. She's too pretty to díe young" Indigo pouted and Saint looked at her then rolled his eyes.

"No mercy, the penalty of every crime committed is déad" Saint said and smirked.

"Though she's really s*xy. I bet her p**sy is s*xier" Saint smirked.

"It's almost time for the tigers to be released" Indigo said

"Argh!!" Amour cried out when they landed another lash on her body.

Her white gown was already so tattered and was soaked with her blood.

"It's 11:58... When I tell you to release the tigers you do so" Cheetah said and Amour's eyes widened.

She looked front and that's when she noticed two hungry tigers, walking around in the cage while waiting impatiently for the cage to be opened

Amour began crying even more. What mess did she get herself into? Is this really the end for her??

"Boss has arrived!!" A mobster announced and everyone immediately stood up as Aurelio made his entry with Viper beside him.

Aurelio's eyes scanned all over them with a boring look on his face, looking unto everyone like they were little flies he could crush anytime.

He took his time as he walked till he got to his seat and then sat down. His gaze fell on Amour

Aurelio's brows raised a bit as he gazed at her. His mind went to the ice cream girl he saw earlier.

"It's her.." He thought

"It's noon. Release the tigers" Cheetah announced and the man began opening the tigers' cage. Amour closed her eyes, awaiting for the worst to befall on her

Out of the blues a gun shot was fired at the man who was about to open the cage, cutting off his index finger

"Aaaarrrgghh!!!" The man screamed out, holding his hand in pain

All eyes turned to Aurelio who just fired the gun. He stood up and slowly began walking towards Amour, all the gazes following him.

"Aurelio..." Cheetah whispered but he didn't even cast her a glance as he walked till he stopped in front of Amour.

Aurelio crouched down in front of her and raised up her bloody face with his finger.

Amour couldn't help but tremble, the aura coming from him was so intimidating and scary to her

Aurelio stared at her with a slight smirk on his face. He doesn't know why but something about her intrigues him, makes him want her.

"I will spare your life but under one condition" He muttered.

Amour stared at him with wide eyes. Could this be her savior? The one who will save her from this calamity? Did God finally answer her prayers?

A glint of hope appeared in her eyes but that ray of hope was immediately crushed by his next words.

"You will become my property, my possession. I'll do whatever I want with you, anytime, anywhere..." Aurelio said and her eyes widened

"Your life, or your freedom?"
