CHAPTER 5

"But I want you..." Mike said in a serious tone.

"I'm still curious about a lot of things about you, wouldn't it be quicker to do it now?" Zella stopped her speech, she really couldn't use her body to get information from this psychopath.

"Everything can be found out later! You'll get anything in exchange for your beautiful body." Mike stroked Zella's shoulder and brought his lips close to biting Zella's lobe.

Zella's hair stood on end, why the hell did she have to get caught up in this? In a situation like this, Zella didn't know what to do. She could use force, but of course-all the plans she had made would be ruined.

"Mike... Want to play a game?" Zella held Mike's chest with both hands.

"Play what?" Mike let go of her embrace and looked up at Zella with one eyebrow raised.

"Do you have any Poker cards?" Zella was not sure about this, because in the Poker card game Zella also often lost to the reliable player Layla

"I do, you want to challenge me to a game?" Mike placed both hands crossed in front of his chest.

"Of course not, sir. I just want our warm-up game to be less boring... You know what," Zella smiled with a smirk

"What will I get if I win?" Mike was getting more and more challenged to fight this woman in front of him.

"You'll get my body." Zella boldly said this.

"Okay."

Mike walked to his nightstand, pulled out a drawer, and took out a gold-colored Poker card. And walked back to Zella.

"Come here," Mike called Zella to sit on the surface of the bed.

Zella looked up at Mike's bed which had black sheets, with a black headboard. Zella confidently climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged, waiting for Mike to start shuffling the Poker cards in his hand.

Zella swallowed her saliva roughly. She was just depending on luck to be on her side because tonight if she failed in this Poker card game. Not only was at stake, but also her pride would fall into Mike's hands! What a disgusting psychopath.

Mike dealt three cards at random. Zella was still waiting for the signal for her hand to turn over the cards and see what card she got.

Mike initially draws a six and Zella luckily has a higher number. Mike's reply was a seven.

"Shit!" Mike was already cursing because he thought he was starting to look like he was going to be beaten by Zella.

"Why are you cursing? Did I play badly?" Zella smiled at Mike's face, who had just sworn.

"Very bad."

They continued to play until finally, Mike pulled out two cards of the same type, pair six. Meanwhile, Zella continued to counter Mike with an equally high pair seven.

"You lose!" Mike put down the poker hand that was the last card in his hand.

Zella smiled, fortunately, she still had a lot of cards in her hand. All the cards were, boom! Poker cards with the same series 6666.

"You lost!" Zella clapped her hands after beating a frustrated Mike.

"No! You must have tricked me." Mike couldn't accept his defeat.

"What are you saying? It's all been proven that you did lose." Zella replied to Mike's words by stroking Mike's cheek.

"Well, since you've lost, my body doesn't belong to you today." Zella tried to get off the bed, but Mike's hand quickly pulled her hand away. Zella's body fell back down and lay on the soft surface of Mike's bed.

Zella looked up at Mike's face, who was currently on top of her. Their eyes locked on each other, Zella wasn't afraid of Mike's intimidating gaze.

"Who will believe a word you say." Mike supported he body with one hand while his other hand. Caressing Zella's cheek, he tucked the hair behind her ear.

"You! You're the one who's going to believe everything I say." Zella held both of Mike's cheeks with her hands, Zella pulled Mike's face and kissed the aunt briefly.

"Mike... I'm yours." Zella tried to seduce Mike.

Mike was momentarily captivated by Zella's sincere gaze and face which seemed to bewitch Mike, to keep looking at her beautiful face. Mike couldn't believe he would be captivated by Zella's beauty, even though Mike had met many beautiful women before. Zella had a charm that Mike couldn't find in the twenty-six women who died at his hands.

"Are you sure?" Mike asked a question that he didn't understand why he said it.

"Sure, what do you mean?"

"Confident in saying that you're mine... I'm a difficult man to control."

"Difficult doesn't mean you can't Mike."

Mike moved away from Zella, so he wouldn't follow his lust. Instantly, Mike thought that Zella shouldn't have gotten such an asshole attitude from Mike so soon.

"What woman am I trying to conquer?" Zella looked up into Mike's face, Mike seemed to be trying to look away.

"Twenty-seventh woman," Mike said honestly. So far, there have been at least twenty-six murder cases caused by him.

"Wow, that's a lot, you're such a playboy..." Zella chuckled as she covered her mouth. It seemed like her acting this time looked very strange and disgusting.

"Because I haven't found the right one yet." Mike looked into Zella's eyes.

"Maybe I'm the one," Zella said back to Mike.

"Maybe..." Mike touched Zella's hand.

"My fingers are hideous." Zella stares at her fingers, deliberately looking at Mike's which looks very plain without nail art.

"No, they're not. Your fingers are good." Mike shook his head, he liked Zella's plain fingers that were very supple.

"Are you going to take them?" Zella immediately threw a question that offended Mike.

"Why would I take it?" Mike answered Zella a little nervously.

"Taking my finger to put the ring on. I mean," Zella said, overwriting Mike's words to make them seem less suspicious.

"Hmmm." Mike nodded his head.

Suddenly, there was a loud knock on the door. Mike immediately stood up and let go of Zella's hand, Zella who was also curious about who knocked on the door. She glanced over and saw Kenneth's face, who appeared with a flat expression.

"Get out!" Kenneth walked past Mike's body and pulled Zella's hand so hard that she was forced to get off the bed

"Who let you touch mine!" Mike also held back Kenneth's hand that was pulling Zella's hand.

"Who said Zella was yours!!! She's not the 27th fucking girl!" Kenneth snapped back at Mike, making Zella also spontaneously startle at Kenneth's loud, echoing yell.

"You're the damn one! Zella has already claimed herself to be mine, and we had a hot night before you came!" Mike pulled Zella's hand tightly despite Kenneth's deft hands.

Kenneth looked at Zella. No, Kenneth was scrutinizing whether Zella had done that disgusting thing with Mike. Zella spontaneously shook her head, as her eyes met Kenneth's gray slits.

"You're lying." Kenneth looked back at Mike.

"Zella... Tell me that what I just said is the truth." Mike raised his eyes asking Zella to lie a little.

Zella looked at Mike and touched his hand which was currently moving in Mike's deft hand. Zella took Mike's hand away from her, she shook her head and smiled a little.

"It's Mister's fault... You and I did nothing." Zella said firmly.

Kenneth smiled hearing Zella say that. There was a sense of happiness that Kenneth could not say, he was very proud of Zella who answered all the lies that came out of Mike's mouth.

"Look, Mike, you're just hallucinating, man!" Kenneth looked at Mike with one eyebrow raised, a wide smile carved on the lips of the man who had ash blonde hair.

"Zella come help me for a moment in my study." Kenneth immediately pulled Zella's hand out of Mike's room.

Mike closed the door to his room violently. He also hit the wall in front of him until his knuckles were cut and bleeding freshly. Mike's emotions didn't stop there, he also threw all the food on tray.

"Zella! You damn woman!" Mike cursed Zella's name as the insolent maid tried to provoke his emotions today.
