Chapter 1 Their first meeting.

The calendar showed the month of October, welcoming the autumn. Shedding leaves, trees, and also humans in her life.

The deadly, uttered silence was something to worry about. Gripping the bag strap tightly, as if her life depended on it, she marched faster.The creepy sound of dead leaves played a few emotions in her, one emotion called fear. Stepping alone on the deserted side of the road, finding her way back home, she increased her pace.

She spent her entire childhood wandering here and there with her group of people called a family, who barely loved her.Being a girl, hoping to be loved is something that is fulfilled by chance.

The girl, Wafa, had a terrifying encounter as she tried to escape from a group of goons who had just shot and killed a man in front of her. Shaking with fear, Wafa managed to find temporary refuge behind a black Mercedes at a railway station. Desperate to evade the goons and praying for her safety, she hoped they would not find her.

Meanwhile, a man named Ehab, who possessed wealth, looks, and status but had a questionable character, groaned about the idea of traveling by train. During a phone call, Ehab and the girl on the other end exchanged heated words, with the man insisting that the girl should come with him. She pleaded with him, using terms of endearment, and Ehab eventually agree, reveling in the power of being begged.

After ending the call, He moved to his well-built, modern bathroom with all the modern-designed items. Taking a relaxing shower, he closed his eyes, letting the water flow through his body. After he was done with his shower, he wrapped a white towel around his waist. He then took out a clean white shirt with blue denim and quickly put it on, while also styling his hair with gel.

Resting his extremely expensive watch on his strong, yet hairy wrist, he grabbed his car keys and drove his Mercedes to the destination.Breaking the rules, he parked in a non-parking area and casually scrolled on his phone.

After some time, he noticed a girl attempting to hide in his car. Intrigued by her presence and amused by her fear, Ehab approached her, referring to her as "kitten" and asking if they were playing hide and seek. The girl was captivated by Ehab's handsome appearance, but before she could say anything, she pleaded for him to save her and then fainted, leaving Ehab perplexed.It seems that fate has brought these two individuals together under uncertain circumstances.

Scooping her small form in his strong arms, he straightened up. Looking around for his one and only girlfriend, he sighed in dejection. Placing her small form on the last seat, he himself got in the passenger seat, driving back to his mansion.On his way back to his mansion, he caught a glimpse of her unconscious form several times through the rearview mirror.

Reaching his lavish mansion, he parked his Mercedes, his baby. He swiftly took her in his arms and marched inside.His men, his bodyguards, eyed him surprisingly as he had never lifted a woman, let alone his current girlfriend.

Dashing to a guest room, he gently tucked her into bed, analyzing her innocent face. Her pale skin made him frown. He felt an urge to caress the small scar on the left side of her cheek.He shook his head, mentally groaning.

"What the hell is wrong with you!? Damn it, Ehab! You went to pick up your girlfriend, not just any random woman!" He cursed himself.He rubbed his face frustratingly. Meanwhile, the door burst open, revealing his girlfriend, Nancy.

"What the hell!? Ehab? You betrayed me?" She yelled unbelievingly with all her fake tears ready to drop every now and then.

Ehab groaned he hates when people yell especially at him.

"Come down, woman. Will you? And there is nothing to betray you we are not in a serious relationship. You know that," he said, rolling his eyes.

She gasped dramatically, making him raise one eyebrow handsomely yet perfectly.

"Stop your drama before I throw you out," he said, making her puff out her cheeks.

"Move out, now," he commanded, making her leave while stomping her feet.He turned back before leaving the room, looked at Wafa, and locked the door behind him.

He dashed downstairs to his study, pulling a cigar between his pink yet soft lips. He puffed it.His eyes casted at the small picture frame kept at the side of the table. An adorable, heart-melting smile captured his lips.

Gripping the frame in his one hand, he caressed the picture."Welcome back, kitten," he whispered with a smirk and a sly smile.

While here, Wafa groaned, feeling the softness of the mattress. She stirred on the bed, trying to open her eyes. Blinking numerous times she adjusted looking here and there. Finding herself in a cozy and beautifully designed room, she panicked.She gasped loudly when she witnessed a bulldog sitting on the floor. Gripping the hem of her dress in her small fists, she found herself breathing heavily.

The dog decided to check upon her. Moving from the carpet, the dog jumped on the bed, making her yell loudly with pure horror, and she quickly jumped off the bed.Hearing her scream, Ehab was alert. He quickly rushed upstairs to the guestroom.

As he entered the room, he couldn't help but chuckle at her state. His bulldog, sorry, his Duke, was licking her feet while she was sobbing hard and mumbling, "God!!! Please save me!! Please, I'll be a good girl," she mumbled while Ehab smiled charmingly at her words.She was too cute!

He bent down and called his buddy, Akka Duke."Duke, no, leave her," he called, and Duke ran towards him, licking his face.

"Duke, stop. Go out now," he commanded, and Duke obeyed.Ehab turned to Wafa, who was sniffing louder. He rolled his eyes at her antics.

"Calm down, woman, before I call him back. Shall I call him back?" he teased, sitting on the couch and spreading his legs.She panicked and shook her head.

"Please, please don't. I request you, please," she said, joining her hands. He gave a curt nod, scanning her small figure. She was nearly around 18-19. Pale skin, black hair, hazel eyes, a small button-like nose, and those pouty lips

.She felt vulnerable and exposed under his strong gaze. She shifted in her spot and fidgeted with her fingers as she asked, "Where am I?"

"At my mansion, kitten," he said, eyeing her with his dark eyes. That shook her soul. "I have to go," she said meekly, standing on her two feet.

He chuckled, smirking and tapping his fingers on his thigh. He smiled evilly, saying, "People come here as per my wish and also leave as per my wish!" He said dangerously yet calmly.

She shivered, her eyes widened at his dark eyes and those dangerous words. His voice seemed to be dripping with hatred. And that smirk made shivers run down her spine.
