Mafia Emperor

DUANTE' POV

Blood was dripping from his wounded head. It covered his half face with his own blood. Crimson was dripping from his thick eyelash. His white pupils were also red. It had broken me down when I saw his dead body. It infuriated me now, made my blood boil. Anger was simmering under my skin.

Revenge!

He was badly injured. Ricky brutally smashed his head on the wall and smirked evilly as he glanced at the camera. He left the collar off of him.

He staggered on his feet. But somehow managed to rush away from that bastard. He was limping because a bullet hit him in his thigh and second on the left side of his chest and third on the right side.

Doctor's words reverberated in my mind, " Bullet has torn through his artery, there is no chance of his survival. He's already dead." Aarav could not continue his pace anymore. His fifty goons surrounded him.

Anger! I had smacked on the punching bag a thousand times recalling it in my mind. His face contorted in pain.

My amber eyes were fixed on the screen. My body's posture was showing, calm! I was tapping my fingers on the glass table in resentment. There was only my fingers' tapping sound which was echoing low in the office right away. Aarav was struggling for his last breath. His smooth easy intakes were altered in heavy difficult breathing after bullets hit him. He made efforts to stand up. He fell on the ground face down. I was perceiving his pain in my chest. They were cruelly beating him with hockey sticks, their kicks and punches, seeing it really got my adrenaline pumping, my blood boiled, eyes blazing in wrath. I clutched my hands. He inhaled his last breath with difficulty, " Duante. '' whispering my name.

' Aarav had nothing to do with this world. They'll pay for it till the end of their last breath. They'll beg for their death and it will not come easily to these rascals. '

I heaved a deep sigh in exasperation. I was pressing my thumb under my fingers in a fist. It had been more than one hundred, twenty hours, seven minutes and forty-seven seconds, I hadn't used my fisted hands on him to beat the hell out of him. That hooligan threw a grand party on twenty-two of every month. He had arranged an eminent party for this day. A huge part of my heart wants him in his grave. My mind has some other intentions for him.

' I'll kill him, slowly, barbarically and brutally. I'll crush every bone of his before killing him.'

I clicked on the pause button. It was flashing - 22 February on one of my laptop' corners. It was playing CCTV footage, last year's video. It is 22 February today. One year has passed. He had shot it with the best camera, every single detail and sent it to me on this day. To torture me!

I racked my fingers through my hair. My jaw was hurting from clenching. I rested my elbow on the arm of the chair. I inclined my head to one side. I spread my fingers on my face, still, I could see the pause video screen through the split of my fingers. who stood within this slaughter. I had killed them brutally one by one. By the time, it brought my demon out. People called me a heartless demon.

'I'm more than just a heartless demon! I'm the king of this hell.'

' I have beat the hell out of Ricky countless times, during the gap time... I would decide his last breath, not God, not he, not any disease, I'd be me.

He has been hospitalized countless times. I've broken his bones. It is twenty-two February. It's his time to pay the interest plus the amount of his debt which he is carrying and would carry till his last breath. He would go through the pain Aarav had gone through on that ominous day. This day is counted as a dark day of my life. Aarav is more than a brother to me. Ricky stepped over the line. I had sworn he'd be the last heir of his clan. '

He bent over the desk," He has booked the fourth floor for his binge. It's a five-story building. The rest of the floors are booked for family functions. " Thomas said, turning his laptop's display at me.

' Thomas Rego, he's my younger brother, my family, indeed everything. '

" He will revel before his death today, my bare hands are itching to strangle his fucking neck. " I said to him, gritting my teeth.

My iPhone made a beep sound. Forwarding, my hand I grabbed it. I stared at it as I opened the text.

' We're on our way.' Tann.

' I've decided to kill him today more mercilessly and brutally that he would haven't imagined. '

I stood up and buttoned my coat, " Let's go. " I said, without glancing back. If I would set a swimming pool with ravenous crocodiles and ask my men to jump in it. They'd do it without questioning me. No one could judge the Mafia Emperor. Reaching the garage, I unlocked my black Mercedes. I climbed in it and turned the key. I sped up at my destination to end the dark story that he started the same day one year ago.

' I'll finish it today.'

When I reached the spot, I pulled over my car. It stopped with a jolt as I was driving rash. I glanced at the rearview mirror. I could see Thomas' car and the SUVs of my best men. They pulled their cars over behind mine. I stepped out on the black gravel road. I gazed up at the building through my sunglasses. I took them off and chucked them back over the front seat of my car. I tossed my keys at my man. I gestured with my finger.

I strode ahead. They followed my lead. We got in the building from the front door.

We reached the main office, " Good evening, Sir. " The owner of this resort greeted me.

" Evening. " I nodded, " I want this building empty except for the fourth floor," I ordered the manager.

He bowed his head and went into the elevator. I would never harm innocent people. Until they put themselves between my goals.

I walked around the desk. I unfastened my coat and took the head chair. My advocates were already here. I had purchased the entire building.

Thomas came in and eyed the advocate, " You purchased it! " Thomas exclaimed and smirked at the same time.

I passed him my wry smile as I glanced at him.

' My younger brother is still learning. He is an important part of my family, my only family.'

My phone vibrated in my pocket. Taking it out, I ran my eyes on the screen. The message popped up on my iPhone and I swiped to open it.

' We're in! ' Tann.

The corner of my lips lifted up. I was only one step away from my prey, " Time to finish the game. " I was feeling outraged but I said words in a slow voice. Tann was tracking him down as pretending to be his man.

We went to the elevator. I took my ten best men with me, who could fire fifty rounds in one minute.

The elevator opened with a sound and I stepped out. My men were following me and waiting for my command. Thomas was in the manager's office. I didn't want my attention to divert, it was good he wasn't part of it.

' I wanna keep my only family safe.'

I felt a blister of acrimony and enrage in my blood, My blood boiled in my veins at his sight. Here was the m***er****er who killed my best friend. Who was an engineer and had nothing to do with this world. He brutally murdered him. There was no place for such a piece of shit in the world. I didn't harm innocent people, who weren't part of it.

He was surrounded by his men pointing their guns at cops. The hall was filled with loud shrieks and thuds of footsteps, to get out of it. My eyes were fixed on my prey. My hand travelled toward my gun. My fingers were itching to pull the trigger.

' I'm the hunter here. He's my chase. I'll kill him, only I. '

Tann saw me and slipped away from his troop. He joined us. He was a tall slim man with grey hair. He earned his respect in my eyes. He had worked with my father, now he was working with me.

My prey was still unaware of my presence, " He wants to marry her and is going to do it here right now. " Tann whispered in my ear and pointed at the girl, surrounded by three cops.

I shifted my feet to have a clear view of her. I raised my eyes to behold her. She was in a golden gown. I dragged my gaze on her body. Her dress beautifully hugged her, showing her curves. Her wavy brown hair was touching her hip and her shiny brown eyes were carrying fear. I smirked inwardly.

'She has a beautiful innocent face and tempting figure.'

I stared at Tann for more information. My heart gave me the approval of her, making my heart beat faster a little.

" He has kidnapped her. She was attending one of the parties running in this place and one of his men dared to laugh at her. He killed him on the spot. " He completed.

I smiled a bit. I put my gun back in the holster and grabbed the phone. I ran my fingers on my phone. I beckoned my men to shoot his men. The atmosphere reverberated with gunshots, screams, crying.

They were on the ground in a second, wet in their own blood. I let my prey run. I don't wanna give him an easy death. The hit of the bullet would give him an easy death. That was what he did not deserve at all. I wanna see him soaked in his blood. I wanna hit him in the centre of his eyes. I saw she was staring at me in my eyes with horror. Nobody dared to look in my eyes, she did. It challenged me. Her bewilder eyes were making her more sexy and hot. I paced toward her, gripping from her waist. I ignored the astounded gazes of three men who were protecting her.

She slowly gulped looking into my eyes. She was giving me a touching rose petal feeling. Her beauty is breathtaking. I knew what I was going to do. I clutched her tightly and jumped from the railing. She gave a loud scream.

My men already knew my plan. They were standing with a jumping sheet pulled out where I leapt with her. She was beneath me with tightly closed eyes. I ran my eyes on her beautiful face. I stood up and walked toward the office. They were carrying her behind me. They made her sit in a chair. When I was sure she didn't wanna marry him. The plan was hovering in my mind.

" Get marriage's paper ready, Tann. " I ordered him.

EVELEEN'S POV

I was standing near the railing, spreading the view with my eyes. It was a girl's college in front of me. I could see empty classrooms through the opened windows. It was evening, but the sun was still shining bright. It was summer.

The sun setted down late these days. The light breeze was brushing my skin. I turned back and gazed at the hall. It was full of people.

' I know only a few relatives of our family who often visit our house.'

It was a large hall. This building had five stories. Our party was going on the fifth floor. I sauntered at my friends, pushing the glass door open. The cool wind of air-conditioning hit me and I felt a bit relieved of the hot skin of mine. I gazed around to see my friends. I spotted Rose with her phone.

They were my friend and cousin. Rose was pretty enough, five feet six inches tall, slim and black hair with short length and green eyes. It was rare to find a green-eyed girl in Sikanderabad.'

She was busy on her phone. It was the sixth call from her father. I removed my eyes from Rose to find the comedy star of our group. " Gol gappe.... " Mini screamed from her seat in joy. I didn't need to make an effort to find her. She was already holding a plate of pasta in her hand and now she was attacking golgappa. She was a mixer of mine and Rose weight, light brown hair, black eyes, brown skin with a cute face and heart.

I strode in my high heels and took the seat next to Mini. Her mouth was filled with food. She offered me a filled gol gappa. I opened my mouth in invitation. I took a bite. It was so delicious. Rose and Mini, both were my cousin and friends.

Rose walked toward us with an angry look, " Dad is asking us to leave the party. " Rose disappointingly said.

" Our cop dads. They will never allow us to enjoy our lives. " Mini rolled her eyes and picked up Coca-Cola and finished it in one gulp, " It's a decent party." She was annoyed and put the pasta plate on the table with a loud thud.

Fortunately, there was a loud buzz of the swarm of people and of course, the party must be boring without music. It was on high volume.

" Let's go." My friends asked me to leave the hall immediately. But I didn't wanna go back home now. They barely allowed us out of the house.

Abruptly, the music stopped. The manager came into the hall and he was asking everyone to leave and apologizing at the same time. I couldn't get the whole matter because of the buzz of the crowd in the hall. There was a haunted look on everyone's face around us. I was already bored from the lecture of our professor. I wasn't interested in hearing from him.

I thought about it for a second. " Okay, let's go. " I nodded my head. Though, I didn't want to go back home yet. The sun was still bright out in the sky. It got crowded. People gathered around the elevator. We waited for the elevator, " It would take ages to reach the ground floor. " I told them.

" We don't have that much time Evie, " Rose said to me. I could see a haunted look on her face.

" Let's get out of this place using the stairs. " Mini held my wrist and started to walk hurriedly out of the building. They both are always protective of me. Especially after the death of our brothers. Some mobster leader killed them. I swept the hurting memories away.

" What's wrong with you both? Why are you behaving so strangely?" I asked in puzzlement and I was a little annoyed.

" My dad called me and asked me to get out of this building. A Mafia man has booked the fourth floor for his party. It is not a normal party like we do, you know. " Rose said, getting impatient.

I ignored her and wasn't paying attention to her words. Frankly, the buzz was making it hard to concentrate on one thing, " What are you saying, Rose? I'm not getting it. What kind of party our parents will not allow us to have, like a bikini party, party with boys or um, I'm curious to know what kind of party is going there. " I asked, raising my eyebrows.

She opened her mouth to reply to me but stopped. There was a dreadful look on her face and the same look on all passersby.

" Didn't you notice? She said M A F I A " Mini spelt out the last word in her scared tone.

" Tell me. You're joking," I demanded.

" Swear of mother," Rose said with horrible expressions.

" We're not kidding, Evie. " Mini said with the same tone.

She would never lie on her mom's swear. My eyes widened with shock and fear. When I saw and found out, why did she stop? A man was standing in front of her. His gun was pointed at her.

" You are coming with me. " he said in a heavy tone, " You three. " he pointed at us. He was a horrible looking person. There was a cut on the left side of his face. Evilness could be easily seen in his eyes and face. He was running his eyes on us.

I stopped and slowly moved near him to punch him in the face. But Mini was faster than me. She pushed the Gunman so hard. He fell to the ground. His gun slipped from his hand. I instantly took steps to get out of this hell through the stairs. Rose and Mini were a few steps ahead of me. We reached the fourth floor. We ran toward the exit door. I saw both my best friends crossing the threshold of the staircase.

" Not You Baby! " I heard a heavy voice again, but with command. I felt a strong and ruff hand on my wrist. It pulled me back. I just wanted to get out of here. I tried hard to get free from the devil's hold without looking at him. I could hear my friends' yelling my name. His strong grip was getting tighter. It was hurting me now. I was feeling the weakest one now. He tugged me toward him. I didn't dare to look at him.

He yanked me forward with his full force. A small squeal jumped out of my lips as I stumbled.

My eyes saw him. He was in fine clothes. He was good looking, black eyes and his hair were matching with his eyes. He was handsome with an evil spirit and mind.

" You're so gorgeous," he said, touching the left side of my face with his ruff and bulky hand.

I pushed it away with my free hand, " Leave my hand. " I snapped and tugged myself away from him.

His face was holding the same flirty and evil expression on his dangerous face.

" You should hire such girls for me, You motherfuckers. " he grimaced at his men, making his hold tight on my waist.

My body tensed, listening hire from him. Only cruel people would treat girls like stuff.

He smirked at me, " I'll marry you. You'll be my queen. You're my first sight love, darling.'' he declared.

My eyes got wider. It frightened me, " Let go of me. " I found my shivering voice.

I was struggling to get free from his hold, but he dragged me toward the hall. I was pulling my arm from his hold. His muscular arm held me strongly, " You'll hurt yourself, darling. " I heard him. There wasn't a buzz and hurdles of people on this floor. It was carrying stillness. The surroundings seemed to me suffocating.

He hauled me in the hall. There were many evil faces presented in the hall. Not merely his bad people, there were a lot of prostitute girls. They were hardly wearing any clothes on them. It frightened me. He forcefully turned me with his hold on me and pushed me away. It was like he threw me easily. I fell to the ground. He took his gun out and pointed at me. One of the men offered him a chair and he sat on it in the centre of the hall. His gun was still pointed at me. All were giving attention to him as God was going to start his good words.

" No motherfucker will touch her. She belongs to me," he told his men in a high pitched tone. I trembled in fear. It reverberated in the massive hall. One of his men gave a devil laugh. He bent his head and coldly glared at him. He turned his gun to him and ran the trigger. The bullet hit him in his forehead. He fell to the ground with a loud thud. I yelled out loudly in dread and high pitched tone.

" No one can touch her, harm her, laugh at her. Only I can, I'd be me. " He shouted again.

I was still staring at the dead body in awe.

He turned his gaze at me, softening his expressions. His menacing voice was reverberating in my ears. It sent shivers in my body.

' What will he do to me? '

" Does your mother know how to cook? " he asked me with the same flirty tone. His gun was a few inches away from my head.

It puzzled me. Was he mad?

" Yes. " I mumbled, looking at the dead body.

" Good! We will enjoy ourselves in the bedroom and your mother will cook for us. I will marry you right now right here. I've heard girls love their mothers. You can keep her after our wedding. " he said in the same tone.

" You need a doctor. " I glared at him in horror, but I said my words boldly.

Meanwhile, I heard a gunshot outside of the hall. All the girls presented in the hall started to run in fear here and there. I took it as an opportunity and stood on my feet and ran to the exit as his full attention was on looking for the matter.

" Stop! " I heard his heavy tone with a gunshot.

My inner voice was saying he would catch me. I saw a large table and hid under it. It was covered with white decorated clothes, touching the bottom of the marble floor. I tightly put my hands on my mouth, almost clamping it. I didn't wanna make any noise. I was a few steps away from the door, to reach out of this floor.

" Find my future wife," he shouted at his men. It scared the hell out of me hearing ' my future wife' from his filthy mouth.

My hands were sweating. My body was shaking badly. I hugged my knees tightly to stop the shiver. I heard footsteps coming from the opposite direction. It was increasing my heartbeat. I was afraid of getting caught by him. He would drag me again among his vicious people. He would do what he could not do before. His curt voice was still ringing in my ears. I didn't belong to him.

" Kid! " I heard. I knew this voice. I had heard it more than a thousand times. A smile broke on my lips

" Dad! " I shouted in joy and got out from under the big table.

I lifted my head and gazed at my father, " My baby! Are you hurt? " Dad asked me, running at me and he engulfed me.

" Thank God for sending my dad. " I whispered. I hadn't felt at ease in my life before. I sighed. I was feeling protected now.

He broke the hug and rested his hand on my temple, " You okay? Kid! " Dad asked.

I was smiling with tears. " Yes! Dad " I shook my head mixer with joy and still fear for his arrival, " You were on leave today. How did you know we would be here? " I asked him.

Gavy called me and told me the matter, " You girls are in trouble. How can I stay home? " Dad said. He tried to smile in an attempt to push away my fear.

My mind travelled to them. They were out of his reach. It was troubling me as I wasn't known to it, " Rose and Mini. " I asked.

" They are safe in the car." Dad smiled at me. " Let's get out of here. " My Dad was holding my wrist so tightly as he was scared to lose his daughter. He was leading me out.

" You Rascal! I told everyone not to touch her." That crude tone came from behind me. It fully scared me. It jolted me. I felt goosebumps on my neck.

We turned to see. I knew from his heavy voice it was him, the monster. But before I could turn, gunshots started to pierce my ears. His three men died in a second. I saw Gavy Uncle (Rose's father) in his police uniform.

" Take the kids home, Money," he said to my dad. We were surrounded by his men. I wasn't getting any way to escape except jumping through the balcony. I clenched to my father's arm.

" Please, take our daughters away from here. I'll help Gavy here. " My dad said to Vinny uncle ( father of Mini. )

After several gunshots, It was dead silent, making me more jittery.

Within seconds, we're surrounded by his ugly men again. They're filthy and all bad looking. The monster was standing in front of Gavy uncle. His dark eyes roamed on me. My father removed my hand from his arm and positioned himself between him and me. I looked around and we were some feet away from the staircase and the elevator. I heard the loudest ears piercing gunshots continuously. I snapped my eyes in front of me. They were standing in suits with a gentlemanly look. Their guns were pointed at my dad and uncles now. Somehow, My kidnapper escaped from this gunshot. It happened so suddenly, I couldn't comprehend anything. He pushed himself into the elevator. These gunmen were looking as they came from a business conference. My eyes laid on their Headmaster. His amber eyes were staring at me. I returned his stare. He was attractive, good looking, sharp-featured, amber eyes and dark brown hair, Rolex on his wrist. There were two cuts on his left eyebrow. He stepped toward me. My dad and uncles moved at his men's gunpoint away from me. I stepped back and hit the railing.

" Let her go. " I heard from my father.

I instantly strode ahead with fear of falling. He was inches away from me. I blinked, staring into his beautiful eyes. There was a slight smile on his face. He put his hand around my waist. He had a strong grip. He took me near the balcony's railing and jumped from it with me. My eyes widened. The whooshed through my ears. I gave an ear-piercing scream. We fell on the longest and broadest sheet. My heartbeat was drumming in my ears as I stared at his handsome face. It was in my throat. The men in suits picked me up carefully, as I was some breakable stuff. They carried me, following amber eyes. I was glowering at his back and my body was feeling numb.

They brought me into a gigantic room. It had a white marble floor and white painted roof and light red walls. I was made to sit on a soft chair. My legs were still trembling with the effort from the jump from so high. This room was full of men holding guns. Amber-eyed was peering at the wall, his back was on me. His lower back was touching the edge of the wooden table. It was a feeling as I have come here to see his perfect photoshoot.

" Did he say anything to you? " His man asked me. He was a little bit short from amber eyes. His eyes were shading amber but not like him. He has a cute face. I kept silent because I was scared of what they would do with me. Monster's threats were still fresh in my mind. They were also the same. The difference is that they were wrapped in precious wraps.

" Yes, he said he will marry her. " The man next to him replied. He was in his mid-forty. It sent a shiver deep down me. His words echoed in my mind, ' my future wife. ' I close my eyes tightly.

" Do you wanna marry him?" The same cute man asked me. I open my eyes. I was thinking, what compelled him to be with such people. He could choose another professional.

" Are you insane? " I snapped.

" At what cost? " The first time Amber eyed spoke. His voice was holding command and some kind of spell. It felt so smooth. I could hear him the whole day with a smile.

" Boss means to say. You will do anything to save yourself from him. '' his man ( mid-forty) asked.

" Yes, I will. " I told him, staring at him.

'Why are they interrogating me?' My gaze was confused on them.

His men took their hands back and came out with guns. They pointed at me. What was that for?

" Get marriage papers ready, Tann, " Amber eyed said to his one man, who was looking at his second hand, who was asking me questions, I guess. He was looking younger than amber-eyed, but less muscular and less handsome compared to that Amber one.

It shocked me, I was glaring at him, ' Is he or one of his men? Is he sending me back to him? To my kidnapper so the monster could marry me. '

I tried to stand up but guns pinned me on the chair. I heard the loud noise of a helicopter. Amber eyed took long treads. He wrapped his hand around my wrist. He dragged me with him, his long strides were not matching my small steps in heels. I was pulling back with full force. I couldn't struggle with his muscular and well-built body. My pencil heels were making it more difficult. He turned to look at me. " I wanna go home. Let me go. " I struggled.

He whirled back to look at me. He scooped me up in his arms and got in the elevator. I silenced with wide eyes. He was stronger than I was thinking him to be. I tried to push him. He had well-made himself in the gym. It dinged open on the roof. He moved toward the helicopter. Its wings made my hair dance in the air. I kept my head near his shoulder, " Please, let me go. My family will be waiting for me. " I said in my cracked voice.

He got me in his helicopter. He hurtled me on the next seat to him. I squealed. I had never been in a helicopter before. I tried to open it but with a lack of knowledge. I couldn't open it. Otherwise, I would not mind jumping from a flying helicopter without a parachute. I attempted until it was again ready to land. He didn't try to stop me nor gaze at me once.

It took five minutes to reach the destiny decided by him. The helicopter landed on another building's roof. He held my hand again and took me to the building. I hadn't seen such places in real life but rich royal movies. There was white paint on all the walls. I could see men in black suits with ten feet of distance as protecting the path. He halted, approaching in a room. Advocates were standing in front of us. I darted my eyes around. I couldn't see the monster anywhere. Amber-eyed signed the papers, "Sign it." He ordered me.

It stunned me. Why did he want me to do it? Why did he sign it? He said to prepare the marriage papers to his man for him, " No way." I snapped and turned to run away. His bulky goons were already behind me with their guns, " You can't force me. " I hardly whispered.

Tann showed me a laptop with a video running on the screen. It widened my eyes and froze my body. Tears welled in my eyes. More than ten guns were pointed at Rose and Mini by his armed men.

" Kill her father and her friends, indeed everyone who belongs to her," Tann said.

" No. '' I shouted. Tears escaped from my eyes. I picked up the pen from the table with trembling hand and signed the papers immediately. I could read only the main letters in it which were written with black ink and thick letters. I had read only one word.

' MARRIAGE '

" Release them. " Tann said.

I didn't remove my sight from it. I watched them moving away on the screen. Rose drove away from them with Mini. It soothed some of my tension.

" Follow me, your room is this way. '' Tann said to me. There was no other way, but only to agree on it. This building was full of guards. No way to escape.

I looked at amber-eyed. His back was on me. I walked behind him. We went to the elevator. Amber eyed was standing ahead of me. I was glaring at elevator buttons. It was a fifteen-storey building. The elevator stopped on the tenth floor. My heart was also drumming in fear. A big hall appeared in view. It was beautifully decorated but simple. I stepped out of it. I was biting my tongue to control my tears. I could guess what he was planning to do with me after marriage. I had two options, kill him or kill myself. I ran my gaze in the hall. I didn't find anything which could help me. He and Tann stopped near a door, it was secured by pin code. I watched them carefully. No, it was secured by an eye scanner. God was also not helping me here. Indeed no one could. I had to help myself. It scanned his amber eyes and the door slid open. Tann beckoned me to go in. I gazed at amber-eyed. He didn't bother to glance at me. I sighted back. His men in suits with guns were staring straight, finger on the trigger. I stepped in. It was beyond beautiful. Everything, furniture was of dark coffee colors and was imported in this hall but had the same white walls and marble floor. It was hell in heaven shape. My eyes fell on a fruit basket. A knife was lying on it. It was two steps away from me. I took two long strides and hurriedly picked the knife from it. Before I could do anything. I felt a strong and heavy hand on my lower back. He twirled me energetically. He gripped my wrist and twisted it behind my back. I squealed with pain and the knife fell from my grip.

" Please don't do this. Let me go home. " I sobbed. I could not control my tears. They flooded out of my eyes.

" This is your permanent home now. " Tann said who was standing two steps behind him.

" I will kill you or kill me. If you dare to do anything to me." I angrily said but I calmed myself, " Please, I wanna go home. " I annoyed and cried.

Amber eyed wickedly smiled. It was an adorable smile if I ignored his intention behind it. He must have attracted many girls or he must have kidnapped them like me. He tightened his grip. I put my hand on his stomach to push him away from me. I felt his six-packed muscular body under my touch. I knew I could not win from him. I knew it would be easy for him. But I would not lose my heart. I was in my high heels. He was six feet tall. I was five four and reaching to his nose in heels. My eyes fell on his collarbones. His three buttons were unfastened. His skin was tanned there. I drew myself closer. I strongly bit him on his shoulder. I tasted salt, it was his blood. But he didn't try to parry me or pull away. I astonishingly backed my step from him. He touched my lips with his thumb. I saw crimson on it, his blood. He rubbed it between his finger and thumb. He glared at me with his amber eyes, he wasn't looking in rage. There was dark humour gleaming in his eyes. He put his second hand on my nape and came closer to me. I protested, but under his strong touch, I couldn't move. He kissed me. I pulled back but he didn't allow me. I hit him on his chest with my hand. He softly kissed me and broke it instantly.

" Let go of me, please. Please, I wanna go home. Don't do this to me. It will kill me. Please let me go home. " I pleaded to him with sobs.

He picked me up. My heart started to sink. I was feeling fear. His man opened the door.

He's going to rape me. I yanked him away and tried to hit him. He dodged it easily.

" No, please! No! " I screamed and pushed him away with both hands.

He threw me on the mattress and went out of it. I heard the click of locking it. I gathered myself up. I hugged my knees. I was scared he would come at any time and raped me. I didn't close my eyes. I kept them wide open and didn't move in fear. Dread was clawing me from time to time. To distract me, I roamed my misty eyes on the walls. There wasn't much about it. It has a white wall and the same coffee dark furniture. There was a regal touch in everything.

" Your food. " Tann said. He put the tray on the mattress across from me. He went back and locked the door behind him. I didn't touch the food. My appetite had been killed. My eyes were getting heavy but I couldn't sleep. In fact, I didn't wanna sleep, I was afraid of his actions. I was feeling sleepy. I didn't see any females in this building. My dad mostly turned on the news channel. I know all the criminals' ways. There was a glass of water in the tray. I gripped it in my hand and poured it on my face. It helped me to not feel sleepy.
