The rich man's secret

Pushing my way through the crowd with Alex tagging shakily behind me, I ensured that we found our way to the front of the arena. It was an open space with people circling around it so there was an empty spot in the middle for the fighters. The crazy sea of heads were already yelling on top of their lungs so I knew that Park just had to be up by now.

"You cunt, this is all your fault! Park is already here!" I shouted so Alex would be able to pick my words out.

"I didn't want to come here anyway." He mumbled, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose.

We managed to get to the front after much pressure and pushing.

There were two masked fighters, Park and another, but the best part was how they were shirtless.

I would recognize my dear Park anywhere. It wasn't just because he seemed to always have a huge budge through his pants - no matter how free those pants were- it was just proof that he had a huge, 'little guy' down there, but his glorious ten pack abs always had me drooling in love. All of that glory had to belong to such a beautiful face. I could picture ocean blue eyes under that mask, perfectly blending with that dirty blonde hair of his, and his red or pink lips that would make my heart die, I just wanted a glimpse of his face.

I wasn't the only one stuck in that web of love, all the girls here only came for Park, some of the boys too...

"I love you Park!" I yelled over the voices that drowned mine.

Alex shook his head at me pathetically, "come on, he doesn't even know you exist. I don't know what you see in this man, you can't tell what he looks like, plus he is into illegal street fighting, so he must be poor. You don't like poor men." Alex reminded me.

I turned to look at him with a smirk, "no, I don't like to fuck poor men. But if they look like Park, yes please!" I hollered.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" A short man in the middle of the fighters yelled into the speakerphone, "hold your horses, the fight is about to begin!"

His words yielded the opposite reaction from the crowd and they went even crazier. The plus sized woman beside me spilled her cup of alcohol on me in her attempt to scream her head off.

"Fuck no, no, no!" I gasped, eyeing the product on my shirt. "Bitch!" I pushed her shoulder aggressively, "look what the hell you did!"

I regretted my action because the frown on her face showed that she didn't like to be touched like that especially by strangers.

"What's your problem bitch?" She snapped and pushed me even harder.

With a shriek, I lost my balance and leaned forward... with uncontrolled steps, I landed in the center because I was already in the front row and there was no line separating the crowd from the fighters. I stopped flat against Park's hard chest because he was closest to me and the push had come with so much force. I had no idea he was this tall. He caught me in time to maintain my balance and that was when things got worse... I had gripped on to the closest thing my hand could reach and it was his mask, for support and it ripped off his face.

That finally got the crowd to remain silent. Park instinctively bowed his head and pulled me closer to him so he could bury his head against my shoulder.

Loud mumbling filled the open fighting scene as he gripped onto my waist tighter, leaning forward, "don't move." He ordered in a voice that made me shiver. I had never heard him speak until now.

"What are you going to do to me?" I gulped.

For the first time, I was face to face with the world's sexiest man even though he was hiding it against my shoulder.

He retained that position and began to head out of the arena, "be my eyes." He said.

I understood that he didn't want his face to be seen and so I wrapped my arms around his neck as we began to move. "Left." I told him, my heart racing in my cage as I guided him towards the exit. I had no idea what was happening but I was taking it.

We continued towards the exit in that manner and once we got out of view, he lifted his head to look at me.

I stood still in shock.

Anthony Lee was one of the world's most famous actors and he was standing right in front of me.

"Don't move... " he ordered.

"Anthony?" I gasped, "you..you're Park?"

"I said don't move." He spoke in a low voice, warily avoiding being seen. The space we were was empty but I could tell people would randomly hang around here because there was a door behind us.

"Oh my God, Alex loves you, if he knew, he would totally come here to see Park often." I shrieked, shakily trying to get my phone out of my pocket.

"I have to tell him, I have to tell this to everyone I know.." I was interrupted by his hand that came over my mouth.

"No you can't, you can't let anyone know about this." He frowned at me.

I mumbled against his palm, failing to get my words out there.

Park looked over his shoulder and I knew at once that he was going back to his fight. Letting go of my mouth, he took my hand in his and pulled me towards the door.

"Hey! Where are we going?" I began to panic this time. I had expected him to let me go as soon as we got here. Yes, I was excited to be in front of the world's most famous person, I was equally just as nervous.

Without hesitation, he pulled me into the creepy room.

It was dimly illuminated by coloured bulbs that seemed to play mind games with my eyes. "What are you doing?!" I freaked out by the time he let me be.

Rather than respond, he walked towards the dressing mirror, the only thing that appeared to be in the room, and then he pulled open a drawer. Bringing out a balaclava, he turned to look at me ons more tine with the most blank face.

If he wasn't so pretty, maybe I would have kicked him in the groin.

His eyes slowly moved to my phone and then he began to take slow steps towards me. As he did, I gulped and took steps backwards, my heart racing at the unknown.

"Wh..what are you doing?" I swallowed. I closed my eyes tight when my back came against the wall, granting him the chance to close the space beteeen us.

"Fuck!" I snapped my eyes back open when I saw that he had yanked my phone from my grip. "Hey, give it back!" I raised my voice like I had the power to do anything to him.

He went to the drawer, took his phone and dialed someone from it while I stood still in confusion, wondering where the hell this was going.

"Jay?" He called, "send Five in, backdoor, someone found out."

There was no further conversation after that. He dropped the call, took his phone with him and left the room. It was when I heard the click sound behind the door that my senses came back to me. He had locked me in.

"Park!" I screaned on top of my lungs, banging on the door as hard as I could.

I realized I was wasting my time because it appeared to be sound proof and no one could hear me.

"What are you going to do to me?" I whispered, sliding my back down the floor until I sat by the foot of the door. This was not good. Not only was I going to miss the fight, I was stuck in a state of the unknown.

I knew Alex would have been worried about me the entire time. The poor guy hadn't wanted to come here in the first place. Being my roommate came with so much work and now, he certainly had be on the look for me, instead of studying for his school exams.

My thoughts were interrupted by a click sound coming from outside. I had no idea how long I'd been in there but I was grateful to know there was someone else coming in. I would let them know all about Park. For being so handsome yet so creepy, he didn't deserve his identity hidden.

A man just as tall as Park walked into the room in a suit and sunglasses as if the room wasn't dark enough.

I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering if he was actually help or more trouble.

"I was locked in here by a maniac." I proceeded to tell him regardless.

Rather than stop to listen, he held my wrist and took me further into a different back room that I had no idea existed until now.

"Hey! Let go of me!" I svreamed at the brunette.

Instead, he led me out of that building and we were face to face with an all black Jeep.

Using an electronic key, he brought the car open and tossed me in like some bag of fruits. My deafening screams didn't captivate him and there was no one else around except for squirrels and night birds.

He locked the doors and took the driver seat before zooming off on high speed.

"Where are you taking me?!" I screamed on the top of my lungs as scenes seemed to speed past us.

"What the fuck are you doing? Let me out of this car!" I raised my voice as I banged on the expensive glass as if my minimal effort would shatter it.

"This is kidnapping for the love of God, let me out of here!" I cried, "I swear I'd call cops on you!' I screamed. I had been arrested so many times for domestic things, like being in a strip club, illegal sex work, and I definitely would stay from the police but this man didn't know thet so I could threaten him. He for one was not appearing threatened.

I knew there was no saving me so I gave up talking. I hugged my arms and widened my eyes. This definitely had something to do with Park. What if he wanted to kill me for finding out about his identity?

I gulped and looked out the window to see if I could capture any landmarks but there was none.

So many questions ran through my head, why would someone as wealthy as Park want to venture into illegal deals? What would Alex do without me?

I swallowed my questions, knowing we were headed somewhere at least and I'd just have to find out...

The heavy built man finally stopped the car and that made me lift my head reflexively. He had parked in front of a mansion. From the gate, one could already see the view from here even in the night sky. It was illuminated from inside with the brightest lights I'd ever seen. There was a pool right in the middle of the n- shaped house. My jaw dropped to the floor as I stepped out of the car to the chilling night time breeze.

"Okay so is this heaven and what it looks like?" I asked him rhetorically, eyeing the neatly trimmed rows of small trees lining the floor in a maze.

"Follow me." He spoke for the first time, causing me to freeze. His deep voice was the key to my soul. He sounded like one of those radio presenters you never wanted to stop listening to.

I followed behind him quietly. If this was where I'd been kidnapped to, maybe it wasn't so bad after all.

"Okay this is paradise and all but what are you going to do to me? I need my phone back, I have to let my friend know I'm doing fine." I said.

He ignored me and let me into the living room and as if what this hotel looking building was outside, was not enough, the interior was even crazier.

I gasped at the sight of the numerous stairs in the room. The floor was a brown marble and spiral steps that led to a balcony with a view of a sea beside the house stood at a lateral part of the house.

The nameless man looked up at me and nodded in the direction of the steps, signalling that I followed after him.

This time, I didn't resist because, curiosity. We got to the room on the first floor and my eyes went blank. It was empty except for a bed in the center of the black marble floor and the white painted room didn't even possess a curtain.

"One would expect that with all of these dramatic ass buildings, this room would be made of gold." I scoffed at him but that was when I heard a door shut behind me. I ran to it with a gasp and banged furiously when I heard the click that followed. "You son of a gun, why would you lock me in here?" I snapped at him but there was nothing. I knew he wasn't coming back and so I gave it up and went to sit by the edge of the bed. What did these people want with me? What were they going to do to me?

I closed my eyes and had no idea when

I fell asleep on that huge, mighty bed.

*

"Bowie, stop." I groaned. Bowie didn't stop. He was hovering over me. "Bowie, I said go outside." I raised my voice this time, tilting my head from left to right. I still wanted to enjoy my beauty sleep.

"What is a Bowie?" A deep, scratchy voice filled my ears and that made me snap my eyes fully open.

A shirtless man was only a few inches above me, his tall body frame occupying the air. His hands were rested by my side and he looked like he was lost in thoughts.

I gasped and tried to sit up but there was barely any space for me to.

It was Anthony and for some reason, he was leaning his face closer to mine.

"Wh..what are you doing?" I gulped.
