Chapter 3 I can't use you with that condition.

ZELUS' POV

I was half awake when my phone rang. I reached for my phone at my bedside table and answered it.

"What?" I hissed. I don't care who is on the other end of the line.

[Did you go to hide out last night?] I immediately recognized the owner of that voice, so I opened my eyes and got up from lying down to pay attention to Enrique.

"Why?" I asked. I expected him to call me today.

[I'm just asking.]

"Is there any problem?"

[I just lost my slave.]

I knew he would say that, so I wasn't shocked anymore.

[You might have met her if you visited my place last night.]

"I don't know because I didn't go there," I lied. "But, you mean, your slave escaped? How did that happen?" I asked.

I'm not protecting that girl. She's only useful that's why I keep her. As I said, I know I can use her.

[Just come to me now here at the hospital. I will wait for you.]

"Okay," I answered and hung up the phone call. And now he's in the hospital? I wonder what really happened last night. Tsk.

I finally got up without any shirts on. I was only wearing my silk pajamas when I went to the living room. I didn't find anyone in the kitchen or the living room, so I went upstairs again to see that girl. I didn't bother to knock on the door because why would I do that if it was my own house? Right? When I finally entered her room, I found her still sleeping.

The fuck! What did she think of my house? Hotel? I approached her and noticed that she was still wearing her dirty clothes.

"Hey," I said, but she didn't move even a bit. I violently pulled the blanket around her, so she woke up quickly. She immediately got up and looked at me.

"Aren't you going to get up?" I asked her without emotion.

"I-I'm sorry, it's just m-my body hurts," she answered as she bent down and couldn't look directly at me.

I ignored it and started to speak again, "I'm leaving now; I'll just send one of my friends here to treat you at the hospital. I can't use you with that condition," I smirked at her before I turned my head back and left her. She's Enrique's slave, so it's good to play with her, too, sometimes, right? Haha! I don't have anything else to benefit from her besides fucking her, but I'm sure that she has used to me one day. I didn't even go down to the kitchen to have breakfast; I just went straight back to my room and took a shower to leave.

I went downstairs and caught up with her in the living room while looking at the transparent wall of the house. I think she was looking at those men outside guarding the entire area. It seems like this girl is planning to run away.

"Hey," I called her. She quickly faced me and quickly bowed. I took three steps towards her, but still, there was a gap in between.

"What's your name again?" I asked.

"S-Sandrine," she answered.

"Do you know me?" I asked as I was wearing my silver Rolex on my wrist.

"I heard you are Zelus. That's what Yukiro told me." She was still bowing while talking.

I took one step between us, quickly grabbed her chin, and lifted it. Now, she was looking into my eyes.

"First rule, look at my eyes. I hate those people who don't look into my eyes the most. I find it so betraying. Remember that- Sandrine," I said in my most serious voice. I let go of her violently, causing her head to turn to the side. "I have to go." That's all I said; then I left the house completely.

I rode in the Lamborghini Veneno, one of the most expensive cars in the world. I got it from a bet in Casino. I started the engine while looking at her in the transparent wall. She's looking at my car but doesn't know I'm also looking at her since the windshield was tinted.

'You can't escape, so don't waste your energy.' I said to myself and drove away.

WHILE I was driving, I called Cezar-my pure Italian friend. We became friends a long time ago. In fact, he is a Casino owner- I got this car from him when I defeated him in a game.[Ciao Amico.] He said when he answered the phone call.

"Are you busy?" I asked right away.

[Not really; why? But wait, have you heard what happened to Enrique? He's in the hospital right now.]

"Yeah. That's where I'm going now."

[Really? I also heard from Lim that he is looking for a girl.] So, the news spread immediately, huh?But I know Cezar, and he's on my side like Yukiro.

"I have the girl he was looking for," I told him nonchalantly.

He was silent for a few seconds, and I'm sure he was shocked by that.

[Is that true? Are you with her now? Are you going to return her to Enrique?]

"No, I'll keep her."

[W-what? Sei fuori di testa?! You can't do that.] he said. (Are you out of your mind?!)

"I can. I'm Zelus, remember."

[I know, but Enrique owns that girl. Whatever he wants to do to her, it's up to him. Are you going to get into trouble just because of that girl?] he said as if he was correcting my decision. [Just bring her back, Zelus, that's not a good idea at all.] I know what he is talking about, but my decision is final.

"From what you're saying, it looks like you have no intention of helping me when I ask you for a favor," I said.

[What do you mean?]

"I want you to take that girl to Michiko's hospital."

[To Michiko? Why don't you take her to Yukiro's?] he asked further. Michiko Tanaka is the sister of Yukiro; she owns a not-so-popular hospital. It would be better to send that Sandrine there because there aren't many people at that hospital.

"I already took her to Yukiro last night. But I think she needs to undergo some tests," I answered seriously.

[Are you worried?]

"Nope. She's my slave now. I must ensure she's in good condition before I use and play with her." I smirk.

[Fine. Where is she now?]

"She's at my house; just go see her there. I will send some of my guards for security."

[Okay.]

"Make sure she doesn't run away from you, or you'll die." And I ended the call.I drove faster so I could go to the hospital.

A few minutes later, I arrived there. I asked the receptionist for the number of Enrique's room, which he quickly gave me. He was in a private room, and even before I could get close to his room, I immediately saw his staff standing guard outside the door.

"Sir Zelus, Sir Enrique was waiting for you; come in." One of the guards said and opened the door for me, and I went inside. I immediately saw Enrique with a bandage on his head. It seems that he also immediately noticed my arrival, which is why he looked at me. I just looked at him without emotion until I got close to him.

"I can't imagine you got admitted here in the hospital and fell into that situation because of a woman," I said nonchalantly.

"Shut the fuck up, Zelus!" he said furiously.

"Tell me what happened?" I asked and sat down on the solo couch while looking at him. I also took out my cigarette and customized an expensive lighter from my pocket. It's gold with the engraved letter 'Z.'

"I got her in the club," Enrique initially said. "When we were supposed to meet, I waited for you at the club, but you never came. I saw her because Leo recommended her to me; he said she was new to the club. So I bought her in cash. When I took her to the hideout, she didn't obey what I wanted. She said she wasn't a prostitute and didn't remember anything, so I beat her up. And that's what happened; she escaped."

I lit my cigarette first while nodding to what he said. It looks like that woman is telling the truth about not remembering anything.

"She was just lucky that night because I slipped, but once I see her again, I will make sure that is the end of her," he said furiously. I just blew out my cigarette smoke while listening to what he was saying and didn't make it obvious that I got her slave. I'm just doing this because this is the opportunity I've been waiting for so that I can take revenge on him for what he did before, and I will use that girl.
