Getting into his empire...

The hotel lounge echoed with music . The rich and powerful faces sat on their designated tables . Catalina ,scanned the area searching for the minister . After nearly 30 minutes, she found the bald man shaking hands with the detective in chief .

She held a glass of wine in her hands and seductively walked around him. Her dress reached above her thighs with too much cleavage on view. Men of every age gazed at her with lust, but her eyes focused on the one and he stared back at her after checking her out.

Micheal Rodriguez, smiled at the beautiful girl slowly swaying her hips at the beat. She winked at him and asked him to join her. He made his way towards her, conscious of media watching his every move.

He couldn't dance with a girl, two decades his junior. So he pretended to ignore her. And politely declined her offer. Soon the party started and couples joined each other on the dance floor.

Catalina knew better not to push him too much or he would doubt her. She too behaved unaffected by his reaction and began dancing alone. She was fully aware of his eyes on her and was confident that he would call her.

As the people began dispersing, she kept herself busy but talking to some lady. It was already the time to leave for most of people. But the minister was going nowhere. He finally slid beside her on the counter.

" Meet me in room 505 . Fifth floor. " He handed her the card , which she took smirking. It was now an obvious thing, which Catalina had learnt from a very young age.

Men can't resist beautiful women.

After waiting for another fifteen minutes, she went inside the hotel complex. It was quite calm here and she felt better with no voice . In the elevator, she pressed the number 5 for fifth floor.

With her sandals clicking on the floor, she walked like a model to his room. A passing by group of guys commented on her but she ignored them.The door opened when the card inserted by her beeped with a green light.

" Hi, I hope you didn't face any problem in reaching here. " The minister said sitting on his couch. His fat belly stuck out as he was shirtless. A cigar was lit in his hand and he puffed out a chunk of smoke at her.

Catalina returned him the card and sat beside him.

" No, besides good things take some time. " She replied smiling.

" What's your name? I haven't seen you around. " He inquired.

" It's Rose. I just came here last night in this town. " He nodded glancing at her breasts.

" Well you will love it here. " He smirked.

" Do you want anything to drink? Wait. let me fix our glasses. " She walked to the counter in his living room and took two glasses and a bottle of red wine.

She poured him first and then herself. They cheered and had their sips.

" I like your full lips. " He said " I wonder how do they taste? " His eyes glittery with all alcohol.

" Yes. Why not? But not here. In the bedroom. " She insisted.

" Traditional girl. I like that. " He held her hand and took her inside the bedroom.

Catalina moved her hands on his back and he too grabbed her arms. She pushed him on the bed. He laughed with alcohol working on his system.

" Wanna see my dance ? " She asked biting her lips.

" I would love to. " He sat straight watching her dancing swiftly.

She moved around him and sat on his lap facing him before he could kiss her she pierced the needle in his neck. His body fell on the bed. He wasn't dead, just unconscious for four hours.

She begun her search with his suitcase. After going through his every belonging, she found a laptop and in it was a pen drive plunge in.

She removed it and took it in her hands. Smiling she walked out of the bedroom, to go to the pakhan.

To her utter surprise, the pakhan was seated right in the living room with two of his guards.

" You? Why are you here? " I mean how did you know? " She asked me various questions at once.

The Pakhan continued to watch her from head to toe. He stood up in the the flash of light and held her closely to him by her waist.

" What are you wearing? " He hissed in anger.

" And this red lipstick. Damn! " He pulled out his handkerchief and spitted on it. With his spit on the cloth, he wiped her lips. She pushed him away and wiped her face with her hands.

" What's this? " She screamed at him.

" This is business rules. I don't want my right arm to whore around. When she's naturally smart and brave. " He replied roaring.

Catalina took a second to decipher his words.

" Wait.. Right arm? Does this mean I am selected? " She asked excitedly.

" Yes. And it also means that no man will ever come closer to you. We mean business, not entertainment for oldies. No one should ever know the colour of your panties other than me. " The intense heat his eyes radiated were enough to make the strange sensation in Catalina's stomach again.

This time, he was the one who broke the eye contact.

" I believe you didn't kill him. Is he alright? " He asked.

" Yeah.. He's fine. " Mazov removed his coat and asked her to cover up.

" Thank you, Pakhan " She replied. He began going out and turned back to ask her to follow him.

In the car, he drove by himself with Catalina sitting beside him.

" Why do you want to join my dark empire? Who taught you all this? " He asked driving on the dark road.

" I want to join you because I aspire to be among the fearless females of worlds. To show them all, that I am not weak. And who taught me all this, is not an important question. " She discarded his most relevant question.

" I don't usually listen to my people's life stories. It's none of my concern. My concern is loyalty. I want loyal team. I hate liars, kitty. Even if there is a hint of cheating, I kill those traitors. " He said stopping the car in front of the mansion.

" Don't worry, Pakhan. I am a born loyal slave. " She bowed at him.

" Ahh. tsk. tsk. I don't want slave. I want a partner, kitty. A partner. Let's go. You should rest now. It's already early morning. " He left her inside the corridor of her room and went inside his.

After locking her door, she sat on the bed. This man was so weird. Wasn't he the cruel mafia? Why was he behaving so politely with her? Whatever the reason was she had to be extra careful. This man was delusional and should never be believed.

She pulled a phone from her purse and switched it on. She selected the number of someone, called " Master" .

" I am in his empire. A part of it. "

She texted him and switched off the phone again.
