They were in an estate. An estate filled with big houses which had cost a fortune to build.

Loretta couldn't help but admire the environment and she forgot one major information, which was finding a way to get out.

It wasn't until they got to a door that she realized she had never taken notice of the environment to find the road of escape.

The older woman dragged her into the main building and they were welcomed by the quick stench of drugs, filling her nostrils. It was a big building with three floors. The ground floor only had a few couches but was filled with people moving about.

As she walked past them, they all had their eyes on her.

"She is for the boss so eyes off," the older woman warned and they immediately looked away, taking back their attention to their businesses while Loretta was led to the second floor. "Welcome abode." The older woman, Wilma, said and opened a door.

...

The rest of the day was spent with Loretta learning more about the house as she was instructed and given the rules guiding the house for slaves like her.

She wasn't the only slave in the house neither was she the first of Fabian. What was she expecting? To be the first woman of the tyrant boss? That would never be possible.

After the lessons of etiquette, she was taken back to Fabian's mansion and locked up in a room. She quickly took a shower and wore back her clothes, having nothing else to wear.

The day was over and she only got a little information about the drug house. It would be hard to escape but she had to try one way or the other.

With a heavy sigh, she fell on the bed, allowing her hair to spread and get roughened. How was her father doing? She had a lot of questions running through her mind but no one to answer those questions.

Fabian was out of town, according to Wilma, and would be back late in the night. Silently, she prayed he wouldn't come back again. Probably, get caught or defeated by the rival drug house, and then, she would get her freedom and leave the house without trying to rack her brain to create an escape plan.

She shut her eyes and slowly gave in to the tiredness overwhelming her. It's been a long day. In no time, her mouth fell open and little snores escaped her lips.

Fabian walked into his room and quickly pulled off his clothes. The business transaction with a client almost went rough but thank goodness they were alert and had fought back immediately, ending the business in a blood bath.

He dropped his gun in his closet and went into the shower. All his life has been filled with danger. He was made the Mafia boss when he was just fifteen and has been ruling for over ten years.

All through his rule, he was known to be cruel. A boss with no mercy, who wouldn't batt an eyebrow to see someone knocked dead by his bullet.

He has been involved in a world of crime and has since followed in his father's footsteps. His father was the ex-drug lord who founded the Eagle Eyes drug house.

Although, during his reign, the house wasn't as successful as it was during Fabian's reign. Fabian grew it into the largest and most successful drug house, having a clean record with the government and not suspected by the citizens and that was because he controls the government too.

He controls the affairs and has since kept a clean record even though it was far from that. He wasn't clean. His hands were stained with blood. The blood of so many people who crossed his path.

Letting out a deep sigh, he rolled his neck and walked out of the bathroom, going to wear his casual clothes and then visit his new woman, Loretta.

He smirked took out his laptop and walked back to the bed.

He opened it up and clicked on the file before he scrolled down to a file he saved as LC 'Loretta Cruz.'

He tapped on it and her pictures appeared on his screen. His lips curled up and he slowly moved his fingers across his screen.

"You are mine now, Loretta. I always get what I want." He muttered and clicked on a video. A video of Loretta walking down the street, looking so tired that it seemed she would collapse.

Loretta has been his target for a week. Initially, he had wanted to capture Edward and end his life but when he got the information about him, he found out he had a daughter. That would be a plus bonus to him cause he would end Edward's life and take his daughter into his house.

But, seeing her picture for the first time, he got drawn into her. There was something about her that made him stay up all night, staring at her face. 

Obsession? There was no other way to call it that moment. He got obsessed with her.

He got her videos and would spend his free time watching her. Her resilience and hard work made him want her more. He imagined her being his woman and always by his side.

She acted tough when they first met and that made him even amazed. A girl acting so tough even in the face of danger. Even when the gun was pointed at her face. 

He smirked at the thought of it and closed his laptop.

Loretta tossed in her sleep and groaned. It was so cold but she was so into her sleep that she didn't bother drawing the duvet to cover up herself. She instead, coiled up on the bed and rubbed the back of her neck, going to sleep immediately.

It wasn't up to a minute and she was forced to open her eyes. Goosebumps crawled up all over her as she felt someone in the room, watching her.

She could feel his presence. Her heart stopped beating for a moment and her breath seized, building up a pressure in her chest.

He was behind her, standing in the dark. Danger was behind her, waiting for that perfect moment to strike her. 

She covered her lips to prevent a whimper from escaping as she tried to breathe in the stuffy room. The room was cold but it was suffocating for her.

"Hello Loretta, it's time to play!"
