Black dots filled Arianna's vision yet that didn't stop her from staring at that man with hate. God knew if her eyes were bullets, he would be long gone by now.Arianna was surrounded at all sides and she knew even if she managed to escape them now, she wouldn't be able to make it far. She was still on the floor when suddenly a path was created and someone came to stand in front of her.Arianna was stunned when she looked up to discover that it was no other than the collector that had come to her place that day and everything began to make sense. She realized at that moment, her uncle had sold her off to pay off his debt."We meet again," He said, smiling down at her."You!" Arianna didn't know whether to be angry or grateful that she met a familiar face. Thanks to him, she managed to discover what was going on."What is the meaning of this?" she asked, trying to get up to her feet to no avail. She had somehow twisted her ankle during her fall and it hurt like hell.Her inability to s
Arianna's face fell as soon as she heard that comment. She had been hoping to get some answers but all he did was to remind her of the situation she was in. She was doomed.Suddenly, she grabbed his hand and that caused him to look up but Arianna didn't care, she needed an escape right now.His brows raised and she added, "Please,"The man pulled away from his hand, "It seems like you haven't understood the situation you are currently in. Even if you escape from here, we're going to hunt you down to the end of the earth," He drew closer such that their body was almost touching, "Why would I help you escape,"Of course, he was right. Why would he help her escape for Christ's sake?"I just need a little time," Arianna tried her luck and somehow hoped a miracle would happen, "I have a trust fund with a large sum of money in there but it's not operational until next year. I just need more time!" She pleaded with him."Who doesn't need more time," He said.The collector sighed, "As much as
"Ugh," Marcel woke up to blinding sunlight filtering through the window. However, that was the least of his problems because right now, something or rather someone was licking his face.At first thought, Marcel thought it was Samson and sat up with a startle, intending to give that beast a piece of his mind, however, he was treated to a cute-looking chihuahua staring back at with adorable eyes."God," He groaned, what kind of assault was it this early morning?His face was filled with drool and it pissed Marcel off. He had not a single idea about a dog's normal social behavior. At three years old, while other kids were getting dolls and toys, Marcel was already practicing how to disassemble and assemble guns. In one word, he has no pet aside from the lion who was still lying lazily on the ground and watching that new intruder with bad intention. To Marcel, Samson was more of a companion and guide than a pet. If there was anything Marcel loved so much, that was his sleep and the chih
"I've found the clinic that treated Elijah that night,"Marcel's gaze was drawn to Macy like a magnet the instant he heard that news. This news was like a light in the dark for him and how he loves good news."You did?" A satisfied smile crossed his features and he went to sit down on the couch in his room. His room was spacious and as expected held a strong masculine tone.Marcel enjoyed luxury and the proof of it was his lavishly decorated room. Everything in here was of the best quality - including his bed that felt like sleeping on clouds."Yes, I did," Macy was delighted even though she didn't show it on her face."Where is the clinic then?" Marcel asked, already formulating plans for his next step. He already had a clue, the next step was to fish out his opponents."To be precise, it's an animal clinic," Macy disclosed, "While the owner parades herself as a veterinarian in the morning, at night, she takes in criminals who turn away from hospitals for treatment. Our sources confi
Kenith didn't fail to keep his promise of changing her room. As soon as Arianna woke up from sleep the next day, there was already an interior decorator waiting to receive her preference."They must have a lot of money to waste on her," Arianna thought. But then why wouldn't they when they were basically a loan shark? The thought of it made her blood boil, if it wasn't for her uncle borrowing from them, she wouldn't be in this situation.There was nothing as annoying as being helpless to change your predicament. Her uncle took her freedom, her life! The anger was like claws digging into her heart and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remove it... She couldn't breathe. It was just suffocating.Arianna decided to take advantage of the situation. Since they had the money, she should help spend it well. So Arianna went all out decorating her room. Since she was going to spend the rest of her miserable days here, she had to make sure it was liveable. She did not doubt that she wou
"Hmm, your sir Kenith seems to do a lot of odd jobs around here?"Arianna innocently said yet hinted at something Cassie failed to recognize or maybe, she did understand it. "Oh," Cassie chuckled as if what she said was funny, "Our boss kenith is very social and kind. And he's loved by all the women here,""Including you?" Arianna said immediately, her head tilted at the young girl questioningly.A blush crept up Cassie's face at once, "Well, I do have a crush on him but that's just all. Unlike some of the other women here, I can't delude myself into thinking that there's a possibility of having a future with him,""You're a smart one then. As much as fantasies are great, we have to return to reality eventually," Arianna said to her. She was really liking the girl and Cassie seem kind and responsible."You can't really blame them though, Sir Kenith is Big Joe's right-hand man and the real magnet holding this place together," Cassie revealed and that made a hidden smirk cross Arianna's
"Ba-dum!" "Ba-dum!" sounded Arianna's heart like a beating drum. Every step she took was taking her closer to her miserable fate. She was scared and wanted to run, sadly, where could she run to? They would hunt her down like a chicken on a Christmas morning about to be sacrificed for breakfast. Hence she had to be brave because she needed to survive."We are here," said one of the men who has escorted her here. There were three of them in total and although the situation looked grand as if she was some big shot protected by her security details, Arianna knew she was nothing but a prisoner. They were not here to protect but enslave her.At once, he went to the door, grabbed the doorknob, and pushed the huge frame open to an audience. Arianna's jaw dropped to the ground, what in the name of the lord is going on here?When Arianna was told she would meet Big Joe today, she thought it would be a casual meeting and not this splendid ceremony going on right now. She should have known a casu
They waltzed across the floor as if they owned the place. To others, they looked perfect, however, the only thing that kept Arianna going was the thought that she couldn't mess up. The butterflies in her stomach were becoming much stronger and it didn't help matters that she was beginning to feel uncomfortable with the way Kenith's hands were roaming her body.At first, his hand had rested on her waist while hers were placed on his chest. However, with time it kept climbing and now his hands were tracing the curve of her back."Sorry," Arianna apologized at once when she stepped on his foot, "My bad,""No, it's alright," Kenith waved it off with his charming smile, "I think this is the point where we end our dance," "Oh, ThankGod," Arianna was so relieved she almost said that out loud. However, the universe must really hate her because there was a subtle change in the atmosphere and she noticed everyone turning in the direction of the door. What was going on?"It seems Big Joe has f
