Chapter 4

Jade flushed and her heart raced. She felt his palm burn into her soul when he placed his hand on her waist.

He used his free hand to seductively trace her chin, jaw and finally, her lips.

She was scared because of the dark look in his eyes but mostly because of the heat in between her legs.

Xavier slowly drew away from her and she turned to the window again.

Maybe the best thing is never to ask him any question that may or may not trigger her libido.

The car came to a sudden stop and she sat up only to realize that they pulled over on the tarmac.

"Where are we going?" She frowned.

"My home in New York" He simply stated and got out and before he could reach her door, she already jumped out.

"What do you mean by 'my home in New York'?!" She exclaimed. "I don't want to leave Brooklyn!" She angrily said.

"What I want is the only thing you should think of '' He roughly grabbed her arm and pulled her closer. "And the last thing you want is the head of your mother wrapped in a little nice bow" He felt her tremble. "Good girl. I have my men following your parents so never irritate me" He let her go.

Jade looked up at him with fat tears in her eyes.

"You wouldn't!" She bitterly said.

"Try me" He smirked and offered his elbow which she reluctantly took.

He took her to his private jet and soon, they took off.

Jade bade goodbye to her city, friends and parents in her heart. 

She may never see them again because she has no clue what her new life will be like with a complete stranger.

Xavier sat opposite her with his pistol on the table between them and all he did was punch his laptop with his headphones on.

"What will it take for you to let me go?" She suddenly asked which made him stop typing.

"When I'm tired of you, I'll let you go" He simply shrugged.

What exactly does he want from her?

Will he make her his sex slave?

She can never be anyone's sex toy!

"You disgust me! You are so pathetic! You're sick!" She said to him but he continued typing.

How the hell can she get to this man!?

No matter what she says, he doesn't react to her insults!

"Animal" She frowned.

A steward walked to them.

"What would you like ma'am?" He politely asked. "Water? Soda? Wine? Champagne? Cocktail…"

"Fuck you and your cocktail!" She cursed at him.

The man blinked but still maintained his smile.

"Whiskey will do" Xavier said to the man without looking at him.

"So, do I get to go out by myself, alone?" She asked.

"Sure," He replied.

Jade smiled.

That means her freedom won't be restricted and she'll do whatever she likes. She can even escape.

Jade thought about different plans to run away from the psychopath sitting opposite her and go back to her parents.

She'll take them so far he will never be able to find them.

"With protection of course" He added after reading her mind. She frowned.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"My men will follow you around to make sure you don't try to escape," He replied.

"What? So I can't live freely now?"

"You are not in shackles..." He simply replied. "..yet. Just behave and you probably never be in one"

"I'm not a prisoner!" She angrily said and looked away from him.

Are her parents aware of the kind of person he is?

Are they aware of the way she'd be treated or don't they give a shit?

He will monitor her every move.

He will make life difficult for her!

Jade felt naked and vulnerable.

She was defenseless and she hated it.

She wasn't used to taking instructions from anybody and now, she has to dance to his every tune else her parents might die.

Xavier drank his whiskey studying Jade over the rim of his glass.

She sadly stared into space and slowly, her eyes became heavy.

She dropped her head a couple of times but finally gave in and slept.

He was even able to get a look at her red panties.

Jade yawned and stretched herself on the expensive leather seat.

What a nightmare.

She yawned again and slowly opened her eyes and looked around. Her eyes finally rested on his icy blues eyes.

Oh shit! It wasn't a nightmare!

She looked away with a sigh.

"I wish you could just disappear," She murmured and sat up.

"Are we there yet?" She tried to look outside the window.

"Yes" He shut his laptop and stood up. "Let's go"

He offered his arm but she stared at it for a second.

"You don't have to act like a gentleman" She rolled her eyes but finally took it.

"I'm no gentleman, trust me" He smiled and led her out of the cabin.

That wasn't a nice smile. It was laced with evil.

She carefully climbed down the stairs only to find multiple men and women dressed in black. Just like the ones at her house.

They stood in rows like the army or something and each of them wore shades.

"My men" He whispered and she nodded.

"Lord" They all said in unison.

'Lord'?

What the hell was going on?

Is this some kind of joke or what?

A cult perhaps?

Jade looked up at the man standing beside her.

He looked calm and collected but strangely dangerous.

The aura around him was that of control and power.

The way he looked at his men with zero emotion or expression was grounding.

He has a presence that demands attention either because he is wealthy or has power. 

Who is this man!?

She knew he was wealthy but to what extent?

Does he own all these people? Is he a king? Or a god? What is he?

She looked around again and back at him.

Is Xavier with the mafia?

Jade realized she wasn't dealing with any ordinary man.
