The Vicious Love

Under the sunlight a girl in her one shoulder cut out swimsuit made all the male around her look at her, some with lust, some with affection and some with amusement in their eyes. She was the queen of men's hearts, but nobody won her heart yet. So far, she hasn't fallen for anybody yet.

As she walked towards her room her cell phone beeped. She smiled sinisterly as she saw the message on the screen and walking in she looked at the file that was on the table. It was time she needed to start working on her mission. Enough with the enjoyment, her only purpose to come back to Los Angeles was to execute it as soon as possible.

In thirty minutes she got ready and after getting her luggage she left the hotel.

There were two men standing outside of the SUV that was waiting for her. As soon as they saw her, one opened the car door for her and the other man reported,"Miss, I've just got the news, Mr. Dalton Grigorus will announce his son's engagement with Actress Dianna in a media conference tomorrow."

"This old man is being too impatient, I see. Call Mr. Sama and tell him our plan B right now.", As she said it the man nodded his head,"Ok Miss."

The Next Day

"Boss, Mr. Dalton is going to announce your engagement with Actress Dianna tonight.", A man in his thirties looked at his secretary, Lucas coldly as he heard him. He told his father Mr. Dalton, to not to pressurise him but he never listened and now he was even going to announce to the whole world that his son, Braylon was going to be engaged with Dianna. Braylon never had an interest in her but his dad was head over heel in letting them get married.

Throwing the magazine on the table Braylon stated in rage,"Doesn't he know I won't go? Why is he so much into letting us get married, I just don't understand."

"He said you must go whether you... want or... no-t...", Lucas's voice startled. He couldn't think of what his boss could do once he was angry. His boss, Braylon always threw things on the floor whenever he was angry. Lucas just didn't want to get into trouble when his boss was angry.

"Boss, should I get a...", Lucas's voice trembling when his boss said in a cold tone,"We're going to join him tonight."

"But bos...", Lucas lowered his eyes as he saw Braylon to look at him with anger in his eyes. "Get lost!", He ordered. Within a second he ran out of the room. He thanked God that Braylon didn't break his phone just like last time. Though he would buy him a new one later but the old one is gold. As precious as his late girlfriend, oh she didn't leave him nor cheated him but she died. There were so many memories of them in his old cell phone but within a second Braylon threw it over the bridge and Lucas cried for seven days in mourning.

Braylon was made with ice, all the time he looked like an angry bird. He was arrogant, heartless and dominant.

Losing his mother at a young age, Braylon became a very lonely person. He couldn't accept someone else as his mother, when his dad married another woman he chose to not talk to his dad until he was twenty two years old.

After being the CEO of his dad's company he turned into an iceberg. There were employees who were afraid of him, they wouldn't dare to go to his office. Even his secretary Lucas was quite scared sometimes.

"Choose some casual party wear for me.", Calling Lucas he ordered him.

He was going to see how his dad would make the announcement when he would disagree and reject Miss Dianna in front of the whole world. It was not him who wanted to marry her, he made it clear to Dianna long ago that he was not interested in her but she herself came with the idea of getting ashamed for her foolishness and over smartness.

Well, over smartness my ass!!!!!

__

It was evening when Braylon was supposed to go to the party but he was sitting on the chair in his office acting as if he had nothing else to do except taking a rest.

In the party, Mr. Dalton was talking to some businessman, it was almost thirty minutes but Braylon was nowhere to be seen. He made his assistant clearly tell his son to be at the party at time but where was he?

"Uncle, Ben didn't arrive yet...",. A beautiful girl in her twenties asked him. Her off shoulder mermaid gown was absolutely perfect for her, as if it was made only for her.

Mr. Dalton had long wanted her to be his daughter in law. He couldn't understand why Braylon always rejected her when she was such a great girl for him. Beautiful, elegant, well educated, every man wanted a wife like her but there, Braylon never even took a look at her.

People in the party were gossiping about her. When Mr Dalton heard people gossiping about her he smiled,"He's on his way. Don't worry." She smiled. She had been waiting for this day, approaching him was really hard, and that's why she had to approach his father Mr Dalton. Once his dad said something he wouldn't be able to knock it off, it was a great idea. She knew it. She knew Braylon wouldn't be able to make his dad angry and buy his own grave himself.

Braylon already reached the party but instead of going to meet his father he was at the balcony. Party like this was boring, what good it was he didn't know. And tonight, his dad prepared to make him a scapegoat. He was not so stupid, he knew all his dad wanted was fame. And marrying Dianna her dad would let his second daughter marry Peter, Mr. Dalton's second son. So if Braylon would marry her his dad would get to let his second son's wishes come true.

"Mom, please. I don't really want to marry him, please mom...", a girl wearing a burgundy round neck princess dress was pacing back and forth on the balcony while talking to someone on the call. As he happened to be there, he stayed quiet and eavesdropped. Unconsciously he walked towards her, he didn't see her face yet he was attracted to her voice.

As he was closer to her footsteps he heard her panicked voice saying,"Please, I beg you. Don't do this to me please, Mom."

"But mom, I'm only 20 years old. You can't sell me like this. I'm not a toy. Hello? Mom? Hel...", She sounded slow as the other person over the call hung up.

She was like a person whose soul left her body just now.

He heard her crying. She sat on the floor hugging herself tightly. Seeing her movements he was curious to see her.

He was quiet so she wouldn't know he was there. For some minutes two unknown people were there, one was silent while watching, the other one was crying and the other one was crying, unaware of the fact that someone behind her was watching her.

All of a sudden she got up and turned around and hit her head on a muscular chest. As if it was some wall, she thought she hit her head on the wall. To confirm it she touched the wall, but she felt a person's heart was beating. She tried feeling the rhythm of the heartbeat. Surprised, she looked up and winked her eyes. "Who... who are you?", she asked, startling.

It was the first time he saw her. He was quiet, his eyes fixed on her innocent face.

As if she was the most beautiful girl in the universe, she looked like an angel, he kept looking at her. Those kissable lips of her, her round shaped green eyes and how beautiful she was, were attracting him towards her.

It felt different. He had an unfamiliar feeling that he had never felt before, and it was unknown to him. "Same goes for you.", Shooing away his thoughts about his unfamiliar feeling he decided to stay as he was, a rude man. She pushed him away with her finger,"You were probably eavesdropping and that's why..."

"Why would I do so? Do I know you?" She thought he would be talking gently with her and crazy about her once he would see her but he was quite arrogant. So what? She was prepared too.

"Men don't need to know women. They are ready to give many excuses once they see a beautiful woman.", She said, looking away.

"Same goes for girls. I think you were looking at me and were thinking of giving excuses once getting caught by me. What? Never saw a handsome man before?", Really? Was he kidding!

"A man is handsome when he has an attractive personality, good sense of clothing and polished behavior. Physically we define a person handsome when he is good looking, tall, sharp featured, well built, balanced weight, intelligent. A handsome man with intellectual touch avoids loose talking, indecency and rudeness." Someone said, But to Braylon, it was not really so. He was arrogant and rude most of the time, he was moody yet everybody wanted to work with him. In the business world he was a role model for many.

If he would be like the royal definition of handsome man he wouldn't be talking rudely with girls, whenever his dad set a blind date for him he not only went to meet the girl out of respect but he told her what she was lacking in to marry him. There was even a girl who cried at the scene and she said she hated him.

At the moment she opened her mouth to say another word her cell phone started ringing. Her facial expression changed immediately as she looked at the screen.

"But are you ok? Miss.", She heard him asking. Without responding she walked past him, she seemed terrified.

It was unlikely. Caring for an unknown woman? Even following her was never a choice in his dictionary but Braylon followed her...

"Where are you running? Sweetheart.", She left the party hall and walked faster to save herself from the danger her mom called for her but when she was running an old man coming out of nowhere held her hand tightly.

She was terrified, trying to save herself,"Let me go!" She tried pulling her hand away. But the old man laughed,"Keep trying. I'll put some ointment for you if you get hurt, I'll take responsibility for you, my spicy chicken." He started dragging her towards a car. He had the devilish smile on his face while he said,"Your mom said you are still a virgin. I can't wait to taste a..."

When he was pulling her he felt someone stronger than him was pulling her backwards. He turned around to see him. As he saw him his hands trembled,"Mr. Grigorus..."

"Move your dirty hands off her.", Said Braylon looking at him coldly. As if he was about to hang him with the tree and let his body be eaten up by the vulture, he kept his eyes fixed on him. Nobody dared to go against Braylon Grigorus in the city. NEVER.

Taking the chance of pushing him away, she quickly ran to him and hid herself behind him. He glanced at the old man for the last time before leaving. The old man didn't dare to go after them as he knew he would be in big trouble if he was to do so.

"Thank you.", She said.

"Welcome." The corner of his lips curved into a smile but then it faded. Both of them were silent.

As she walked in the opposite direction, he asked,"What's your name?"

Turning around she looked at him,"Sia..." and she walked away.

"I'm going to a party so...", seeing her walk away he walked towards her. No special reason but he just wanted to do so.

"So?", She asked.

"I... Let's take some selfies.", He couldn't come up with better ideas. Weird. What was he saying? He himself didn't even know, as if he was out of his mind. Just when he thought she might just leave as she didn't say anything she walked past him.. The corner of his lips curved and then he had that cold expression again.

"I still have some time in my hand before I go home so I would not mind accompanying you to the party as you've saved me.", She had that pure, innocent smile on her face that he wanted to smile too. But he kept looking at her. Something was interesting about her...

Sia followed Braylon as they entered the party hall. When he arrived there everybody's eyes caught on him and the beauty behind him. It was the first time for Sia to go to a party like that but not for... But she needed to act as an innocent woman. Seeing him walking towards Mr. Dalton, Sia pulled the corner of his blazer suddenly.

He turned towards her when she questioned,"Should I stay here or..."

"Come with me.", As he said she looked around,"Why are people staring at me? Are you a famous man?"

"...", He chuckled. Seeing him chuckling, she said,"What."

"You are going to save me later. So don't be afraid of them."

"Save you? But you said you wanted...", interrupting her he added,"You'll know it soon."

As Braylon walked towards Mr. Dalton, she followed him and seeing them talking and being close people were more interested in knowing who that girl was.

"You are here.", Mr. Dalton looked at Sia who was standing behind him. He heard his son dated girls before but he never appeared anywhere with any girl publically. "She is my friend, Sia. Sia, it's my father.", Said Braylon, looking at Sia.

"Hello... uncle.", Sia greeted him with a smile. Dianna, who was standing behind Mr. Dalton looked at her with jealousy. Even if it was Braylon's friend, she couldn't tolerate a girl Braylon was happily talking to."Hello dear.", Mr. Dalton said.

"Since you came here, let's not waste time anymore.", Braylon could understand what his dad meant but he wanted to pretend more,"Are we going back right now?"

"Didn't you see the magazine?"

"Which one?"He could act quite well. Mr. Dalton looked at Lucas who was standing a yard away from them.

"It's ok. You'll know it soon.", Mr. Dalton was going to make his son be officially together with Dianna but Braylon had another plan. Dianna smiled looking at Braylon when Braylon looked at Sia and Sia was the only one on whom most of the people in the party had their eyes on.

When Mr. Dalton thought Braylon would follow him Braylon just pretended to follow him.

"I'll stay here.", Pulling his blazer gently Sia told him.

"No, come with me.", said Braylon.

"But what'll I do there? Seems your dad wants to announce something to the public about you, I guess. It doesn't seem to be a better idea for me to follow you...". Biting her lips she looked around while saying it. Braylon held her hand, making her surprised,"Play with me for ten minutes. Ok?"

"Ehh? Play? Are we going to play hide and seek? No it...", when she was thinking of what he meant he let her hands go and walked towards his dad, Mr. Dalton.

First, Mr. Dalton, then Dianna, then Braylon and then Sia, they were walking in the same direction.

"What's going on?"Like Braylon wanted people to be curious already. Suddenly he looked at a reporter and that reporter rushed towards him and Sia.

Seeing him, other reporters also did the same. Now, Braylon and Sia were surrounded by the reporters.

Like other times Braylon didn't get angry at them when previously he got angry whenever he was surrounded by reporters. His men handled those reporters later but now, it was somehow not the same.

"Mr. Grigorus, who is this lady? Is she your girlfriend? We've noticed you guys are quite close, are you guys in a relationship?"When the reporters threw their questions at him he looked at Sia who was dumbfounded by the sudden flood of the reporters. "She is someone I want to take selfies with.", Omg, Braylon Grigorus said it by his own mouth. Unbelievable, within a minute the party was in chaos. Sia was shy, what he said probably meant that he liked her, she bit her lips and looked at him with surprise. What was he saying? Ehh...

"So can we take it as a yes? Mr. Grigorus, you never went out with a girl before, but this lady seems special to you. Do you love her?", Again those queries didn't make him angry. Lucas was observing him with wide eyes. Could he just go underground? His boss, who acted completely different before now, was acting so sweet.

Braylon smiled looking at Sia which made Sia more surprised. She didn't expect this. "He can't know everything this soon. What is he upto?", Sia thought.

"I want you guys to take some photos of us.", As he said, he walked towards her and held her hand which made the chaos more chaotic.

Mr. Dalton was furious by his son's behaviour but who cared? Braylon just wanted to let the whole world know that he was taken, he could settle with her later anyway.

"You said we were going to take some selfies only,'' Sia looked at the reporters who were taking their photos.

"Yeah but see these reporters. We can't help it. If you run away they'll just haunt you, you know." Was he serious? Sia wanted to laugh at his different behaviour. The reporters kept taking a lot of their photos. "Thank you everyone.", Braylon thanked them.

As Sia's phone beeped, she excused herself when Dianna followed her. "Stop there.", Said Dianna in an angry tone.

"Yes?", Sia turned towards her.

"Who are you? I never saw you before.", Sia was prepared for all the scenes. She had all the information collected about Dianna and she read them carefully as winning the fight would be easier for her. She smiled and said calmly,"Why? Should I inform you before I go anywhere?"

"I am sure he is just playing a trick now. You are not his girl, he doesn't love you. He is lying!"Dianna was very angry.

"If you have doubts then you can ask him. Guess you didn't hear what Ben said."

"Ben... Don't call him by that name. And how dare you talk to me rudely!"

Like Sia was terrified. She found it funny,"What name should I call him then? You are in no position to tell me. Don't bother me again.", She was going to let her go but Dianna provoked her.

"I know it now. You might have seduced him, that's why he's with a bitch like you.", Dianna said angrily.

"Bitch? You really wanna die I see.", Sia knew how to deal with people. A girl like Dianna was not a big deal for her.

"Mind your tongue. I am not a sl*t like you who sleeps with tons of men out there and act as an innocent duck.", As she said it Dianna lost her mind. Getting angry she pushed her away and Sia fell on the ground, she screamed in pain as if she hit her head. Dianna was terrified, didn't she just push her a little? How come she fell so hard? When she was nervous Sia was trying to get up but she was in pain.

"Sia...", Braylon quickly ran to her. Everybody gathered there, though some people's hearts were cheering for Dianna but they all were curious about what happened.

"What the heck did you do to her? Dianna.", Braylon quickly took Sia in his arms when Sia's tears were rolling down her eyes.

"I didn't do anything, she...", Cutting her off Sia said crying,"She called me a b*tch. She said I seduced you..."

"What? How dare you talk rubbish! You have hurt my woman, be ready for the consequences Dianna.", Giving no chance for her to talk back or talk for herself Braylon left with Sia having her in his arms.

"Put me down.", While he was out of the party Sia said so.

"No, you are hurt. I can't...", he didn't agree to let her go. She still had tears in those beautiful green eyes of hers. As he didn't put her down she ordered him,"I said put me down!" Nobody has ever used that tone to talk to him let alone ordering him but now she was hurt, he put her down quickly. As she started walking he held her hand,"Where are you going?"

"What does it have to do with you? Your girlfriend bullied me, where were you? You've saved me so I wanted to pay you back as you said you wanted to take some selfies only but it didn't mean I would be hurt because of you!`` Tears were rolling down her eyes, it touched his heart. He wanted to send her back to her home but she refused to take his help. All his rage was on Dianna, he immediately called Lucas,"Hello. Cancel all the new projects Dianna is going to work on. And also..."

Sia was his guest, he invited her to the party but Dianna dared to insult her and she even hurt her. He was not going to let her off.

The Next Day

The incident from last night was all over the internet. Even though Dianna's agent has had people to get that news disappear from the internet but they couldn't stop people's mouths and before they got down the news from the internet people had shared it a lot.

Sia was sitting near the window with a glass of wine in her hand. She was happy today. She never liked Dianna and especially when she had her eyes for Braylon. Though she didn't love him but hated him from the bottom hell of her heart but once she fixed her eyes on something it was marked as hers forever but surely if she would get bored and let someone else have it then that was another matter.

"Miss, Braylon Grigorus has been searching for you constantly.", When Sia was enjoying the wine her butler showed up.

"Let him be. We've to make him search for Sia crazily. The more he won't see me the more desperate he will be and that's what is fun to see. You know I like it.", She smiled sinisterly.

"Ok, Miss.", He left.

One week later

"Got a news of her?", Braylon was throwing the ball in his hand to the wall constantly. It's been a week since he saw Sia. She vanished in the air, he has been searching for her but no news. Strange! He could find anyone from the deep hell but none of his men could find a single trace of her let alone her location. "Sorry boss. We're still..." One of his men reported.

"I've been hearing this for a week. Get lost!"He said angrily, throwing the ball at the man who left as his boss was angry. Heaven or hell he would find her at any cost, he was hell bound to find her.

Since the day he met her he wanted to see her more. Not because he had some kind of feelings for her but because he found her interesting. He wanted to know her more and especially what Dianna did to her that night at the party. He wanted to make sure of her safety. Once Braylon Grigorus wanted something he would get it by all means. For a week he had been working from home. He couldn't focus on anything, as if she was the only meant for him in the whole world. It was evening when he just finished reading all the mails. When he was about to get up his cell phone beeped.

David : Come to the address I've sent to you right now.

Ignoring the message he got, he just threw his phone on the sofa when it started ringing again. Getting annoyed he picked up the call,"What do you want?"

"Your party girl is here. Dancing with a boy now."As David, who was his best friend since elementary school said it, Braylon quickly ran out of his apartment and ran towards his car. He has drivers to drive the car for him but now he was not in the mood to let someone else drive. All he wanted to do was to meet her.

As he reached the pub he called David,"Where are you?"

"At the left.", David replied over the call. Braylon looked around and he saw David but where was Sia? He didn't see her anywhere near.

"Where is she?", Still looking around he asked David. Strange! Quite surprising! David and Braylon were friends since elementary school but he never saw Braylon to be so panicked and caring about someone, especially a girl. Since his mother's death he was like an iceberg.

"She was here a while ago. Ahh maybe... she is having fun with...", as soon as he uttered those words Braylon looked at him angrily. "Stop Kidding around and find her. She must be in trouble.", Saying so he called his men and ordered them to find her.

"Please let me go. Don't come closer to me please...", Braylon was searching her like crazy when he heard a familiar voice of a woman. He looked around, it was coming from a room. He shouted by her name,"Sia? Are you there? Can you hear me? Sia?"

"Please let me go...", he heard her voice again, crying and begging to let her go. He couldn't wait for his men so he kicked on the door of the room the voice was coming from. As he broke in he saw Sia was under a young man he never met before. His blood rushed through his veins. His fingers curled into a fist in anger.

He kicked his butt and then he kicked in his abdomen hard. The man was groaning in pain, lying on the floor when Sia was sobbing, hugging herself.

Braylon's heart was in pain as he saw her.

"Don't touch me.", His hand touched her cheeks and she waved his hand. She didn't look at him.

"Sia, I won't hurt you. I'll take you to a safe place with me, I promise.", He said. Sia looked up slowly, tears and fear filled in her eyes. She looked at him helplessly. Taking his suit off he put it on her and then he took her in his arms then he left from there. Sia was trembling in fear, she buried her face on his chest while wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Kill that bastard.", Before leaving he ordered his men. Pretending to be asleep Sia smiled as she achieved what she wanted.

In the car, Sia had her head resting on his shoulder when he had his arms around her, protecting her. He couldn't think of what would happen if he was even a second late.

It took half an hour to reach the big mansion. Taking her in his arms he walked in the mansion. All the servants were standing there line by line, bowing their heads as they greeted him. Braylon quickly took her in a room and put her on the bed. He sat just next to her. "Who is she actually? Why is it hard to reach her? She must be in trouble...", he was looking at her. How innocent and pure she looked,"Who are you?" He asked a sleeping Sia.

Though he didn't know her well, he was getting involved with her. As she was asleep he got up and left the room, closing the door.

Five minutes later, she opened her eyes and as she saw nobody was in the room she got up.

She sat on the bed and took her phone out of her tight jeans pocket, and she messaged someone.

I'm at his mansion now. Post all the photos online, don't forget to make it spicy and crispy. Let his Dad see it, I can't wait to see this father son drama. And don't message me for some days until I tell you to.

Getting up to the bed she walked towards the door. It was time for her to take another action. She walked out of the room in a hurry and ran down the stairs.

Braylon was talking to someone on the call but as he saw her he ran towards her to stop her from falling.

"Sia, stop.", He said.

Giving no response to him she kept running. And as a result she was stopped by a bunch of bodyguards. "You are kidnapping me."She looked at him terrified.

"No, I am just trying to keep you safe. Remember what I told you? I promised I won't..." cutting him off she cried out,"I don't want to stay here. Please tell your bodyguards not to hurt me..."

"Sia, trust me. They won't hurt you. They're protecting you, you should not go out now. I'll...", she cut him off again as she spoke,"I don't need anybody's protection. I'm ok with myself, please let me leave." Sia hugged herself and looked at Braylon terrified.

"You can't get in. Mr. Dalton please...", when he was going to speak his dad showed up all of a sudden. Mr. Dalton was so furious that he threw a magazine at him. "How dare you lie to me!"

"What do you mean?"Confused, Braylon questioned him as he couldn't get what he said.
