Chapter 7

• Ashley’s POV
• “You!!!” I exclaimed when I saw the face of the man. It was the man I danced with yesterday at the club. But why is he doing this? Is it because I left him on the dance floor yesterday? Maybe that’s why.
• “Surprise Mia cara!”. He grinned at me, making me more furious than I was already.
• “Why are you doing this? Is it because I left you hanging on the dance floor yesterday?.” I asked him.
• He looked at me confused at first because he started laughing. He has one of the most beautiful laughs I have ever heard.
• Damn! Snap out of it Ashley! No need to start lusting after him while we are having an important conversation.
• “I must admit you are more funny than Kelvin Hart. You think I am doing all this because you ran away from our moment of dance last night? I barely didn’t even noticed your presence. Once you are gone, I have someone else take care It. You know what I mean?.” He winked at me. I cringed at the thought of it. Too much information. I am not interested in whatsoever he does.
• “Then why are you doing all this? Why did you bring me?.” I hated the fact that I have to say “brought me” as if I am property.
• “You should be grateful for that. You would have end up with an old pervert or worst someone may buy you as a sex slave!.” He stated. As much as I hate to admit, what he actually said is true. My fear was that I would end up as a sex slave but thank the heavens it didn’t happened. Well at least not yet.
• “Like seriously? What is the different? You force me into marriage with you and I can’t understand why because I know that you can get any girl you want since you are so hot!.” I regretted saying the last part as soon as I said it because I just boosted his ego the most and confirmed to him that I found him hot.
• “It's nice to know that you find me hot. And for the reason why I married you is none of your business!.” He started making me angry.
• “It is my damn business!!”. I shouted at him.
• “Watch your tongue! Just because I am smiling at you does not mean you should forget your place! It’s time you shut up. Come with me, I will show you to you!.” He snapped at me in a hard voice. I was too shocked to react and so I followed him quietly as we climbed the stairs. The whole place is dark and quiet. I don’t know if there are other people around.
• As we walked up the stairs, he stopped in front of a door, he opened it and switched on the light in the room.
• “This is your room. Make yourself at home!.” He ordered before he left without waiting for me to say anything. Such a rude man he is.
• “Make yourself at home!.” I repeated in his voice before I entered the room.
• I stare at the room with my mouth wide open. The room is as big as the whole ground floor in my parent’s house. The walls of the room are purely painted cream and the curtains are ash in color. In the middle of the room is a mighty king size bed with an ash fur duvet right in front of it. At the right side of the room is a mini lounge with two sofa seats, a coffee table and a big Samsung HD 3D plasma television on the wall. At the left side is a mini library containing a desk, a chair, a cabinet and two bookshelves. There are also three other doors apart from the one it is standing by. One of the doors it’s a double door. Out of curiosity, I went and opened the double door. It leads to a very large balcony. On the balcony is a relaxing chair and a sofa. There were also flowers of different colors. But that wasn’t the beauty of the balcony. From the balcony, one could see the clear view of the sea shining like a diamond in the cool of the night.
• I went back into the room and checked the other door. It leads to an empty walk-in closet. The empty closet pleased me because that shows that this isn’t the man’s room. I don’t want to share a room with him. The last door leads to an en-suite. I have never seen such a bathroom except in the movies. It has a big shower, a jacuzzi and even a sunna.
• I must admit the room is very beautiful. I yawned and sat on the sofa and took off my shoes and the jewelry. The only problem I have now is what to wear. I can’t sleep in this cloth because it is tight and so I will feel uncomfortable. After much thought, I decided to sleep naked since I don’t have anything to wear. I locked the door before I stripped out of my dress.
• I moan as soon as my back touches the bed. The bed is so soft that it seems as if I am being seduced. The luxury and comfort of this room made me almost forget all about today.
• *****
• Xander’s POV
• “This is your room. Make yourself at home!.”
• Once I spoke those words to her, I left her there and went downstairs. I am not so sure if I should leave her there with no guidance but then she is in my private wing so I doubt if something will happen to her.
• I smiled when I remembered her words earlier on. I can’t believe she thought that I brought her because she left me on the dance floor. Such a naive thought.
• I head towards the direction of the basement. I have a guest whom I must attend to waiting for me.
• I meet Rick waiting at the door that leads to the basement. As soon as he saw me, he opened the door and we started to head down the stairs.
• “I didn’t expect you to join us tonight, Don. I thought you were going to enjoy your wedding night!” Rick who is walking beside me Sarcastically said.
• “Well I don't, I use this night and blow out your brains. That will be a wonderful wedding present for myself. What do you think?”. I asked him.
• “It was just kidding!” . Rick answered with his hands up in surrender. We walk down the stairs and reach another door which one of my men is guarding.
• “Luke, is my guest ready for me?.” I asked.
• “Yes don!.” He answered and opened the door for us. We stepped into the dark room and I flicked the light on.
• In the middle of the room is my awaited guest Yaks. He is tied to a chair with his hand tied to the back and a gag in his mouth. His eyes were wide open and terrified.
• “Do you know why you are here tired to a chair, Yaks?” I asked.
• “No Don, I didn’t do anything wrong I swear!”. Yaks shakily said.
• I took out a cigarette and lit it up. “You know how I hate being lied to. Don’t you?.” I asked him as I stood right in front of him.
• “I know don! I swear on my mother’s grave that I didn’t do anything wrong! I can never betray you don!.” Yaks statement. His last statement made me more furious that I was already. I pressed the lighted cigarette on the side of his neck before I punched him hard. I beacon on Jo to come forward. Rick opened the iPad in his hand and showed his pictures together with the don of another Mafia organization. Earlier last month, my shipment was attacked and stolen by another mafia. And since then we have been trying to track down who dared to steal from me. Turns out that one of my top men is their informant.
• “Don please forgive me, I didn’t mean to! He threatened to harm my family. I had no choice but to agree!.” Yaks cried out. He must be stupid to think that I will buy such stupid and predictable explanation.
• “You had no choice, you say? Everyone always has a choice. Did you come to me for protection and I denied you? No! It was your greed that made you do it!.” I spat at him.
• “Don please forgive me! I won't do it again!”. Yaks pleaded.
• “Yes you are right! You won’t do it again! I will make sure of that!.” And with that, I took out my gun and shot him on his forehead.
• “Call the cleaning team to get rid of his body!.” I said and walked out of the basement.
