Chapter 3

• Kai
• “Have you caught the men who drugged me?” I phoned my men the moment I step out.
• “Yes, boss, he is in the dungeon now.” Voice came from the phone.
• “I’ll be here now.” My hands clenched into fists. The bastard drugged me, and we had to stop at the nearest club.
• I ask my men to get me a woman, and they bring Astrid. I'm never the type to threaten women to spread their legs for me, they do it willingly. But little Astrid was just trying to be stubborn, and my dick was painfully hard because of whatever shit the bastard added to my drink.
• “By the way, check a person’s information, I need to know all when I arrive.” With that, I hang the phone.

• In front of me is a blindfolded, bloodied man, who keeps struggling with the ropes bound around him. I've already told him to save his strength. It won't budge. The fucker doesn't just listen.
• About a minute later, the door opens, and a man walks in.
• "You're late," I say in a low voice, slowly lifting my head to look at him, as I stop swirling the knife.
• "I'm sorry, Boss. Got caught up in..." He suddenly grunts in pain as his eyes land on the knife lodged in his thigh. I throw my knife at his thigh. Perfect shot! I never miss.
• "You never keep me waiting, Storm," I state, and his chest heaves as he makes his way to remove the knife from his leg. Blood is already oozing out.
• "Leave it there," I say. That's his punishment for keeping me waiting.
• He groans, looking at me with pain-filled eyes, but he won't dare remove the knife.
• "Did you get the information I asked for?" I question, standing up from my chair and taking slow steps toward him.
• "Yes," he chokes out in a pain-filled voice, intimidated by my presence.
• "She quit working in the club. But I managed to get information about her father. Axel Russell," he explains, and my mouth forms an "oh." I couldn't forget the doll I spent the night with. Fuck! I've fucked a lot of women, but she was just different. I want her again, and I always get what I want. She needs to pay for the constant erections I get each time I think of her.
• "Astrid Russell," her name rolls out of my tongue as I remember her doll face – silver white hair with dark roots and huge green eyes.
• "She stays here in Los Angeles with her father, stepmom, and sister. Her family is struggling, and her father is in huge debt," Storm fills me in with all the details about her, and I really don't care about that, though something else catches my attention.
• "Debt, you say?" He nods, and the corner of my lips curls up. I know what I'm going to do; I'm going to trap her, and I know exactly how.
• "Remove the knife." I say to Storm lazily, and he grunts, dragging out the knife.
• "Treat your wounds and come back. I have a job for you."
• "Okay, boss." he mutters, walking out the door.
• After he leaves, I turn to face the blindfolded man, still struggling.
• "You don't know how to give up, do you?" I tsk, removing his blindfold and gag in his mouth.
• “Fuck you, Nakamura!” He spits at me.
• “Nah, I think I'll pass. I only like warm pussies.” I shrug nonchalantly.
• “Bastard! I hope you die and rot in hell!!” He fumes, gritting his teeth at me.
• “But you're the one dying.” I smile, bringing out my gun and pointing it at his temple.
• “Did you really think I'd let you get away with drugging me?” I ask, cocking my gun.
• “I should have poisoned you.” He fires back with a defiant look on his face.
• “I seriously have no use for you.” I point out, shaking my head slowly. I already got all the information I need. I know who sent him.
• “Tell your mom I said Hi.” I smile, pulling the trigger as I shoot him between the eyes. He gags, blood flowing from his mouth as his lifeless body falls to the ground.
• Tucking my gun back in, I step out of the room.
• “Take care of the trash. Send his head to Caspian.” I instruct.
• “Okay, boss.”
• “Boss.” Storm calls, approaching. He already has a bandage wrapped around his injured leg.
• “This is what you'll do,” I begin as we both start walking to my study. “Approach Axel with an offer. Loan him some money. A huge amount.” I order. That's how I'm going to get Astrid. Her father will never be able to pay me back.
• “Is that all, Boss?”
• “Yes.” I nod slowly. I only fuck women for pleasure and never grow attached to them. But there's something different about Astrid. It's not love. I don't love. There's something addicting about her, something I just can't get enough of. Whenever I want something, I get it. Now I want Astrid Russell, and I'm going to get her.
