"Who are you?"
"Ezekiel Zeus William Lockheart" He replied plainly. He's really a man of few words.
"Can I call you Z?" I asked cautiously because he might not like it.
"Hmmm I love it."
"So Z, are you friends with my brothers?"
"Hmmm sort of. We're business partners Mine, your brothers and I."
"Oh I see. But why do you keep calling me Mine? My name's Skyla Roshanne for your information." I informed him sarcastically. Surprisingly, I hear him chuckle, but not for long. It seems like music to my ears.
Are my ears playing tricks on me? Or he did chuckle a little to my sarcastic remark? Tss nevermind. I shook my head a little, and he did notice it.
"What are you thinking Mine?" His seductive voice rang in my ears. I couldn't think properly, especially when I could feel his hot breath every time he spoke to me.
"N-nothing."
"Then why are you stuttering?" He asked me mockingly.
Oh this man is now getting on my nerves. How dare he mocked me.
"None of your business." I replied coldly.
Huh! Doesn't he know? Two can play the same game. (Smirking)
I felt him stiffen a little at my remarks, and his grip tighten more. I am hurting a little.
"Hey what are you doing? Stop it Z, you're hurting me." I informed him. Who does he think he is to do this to me? This jerk.
"Next time Mine, when I ask you a question, do answer properly. Do you understand?" He warned me which brought fear to my system.
"Y-yes." I stuttered while answering, I'm scared of him at this moment.
As if on cue, he loosened a bit his grip on my waist.
"So, what were you thinking earlier, Mine?" He asked again. And this time I answered him seriously.
"I'm just wondering why do you keep calling me Mine, I'm not your property Z." I asked in a soft tone. I'm afraid to anger him again.
"Because you're mine and only mine. Soon, I shall mark my property." He replied coldly with a hint of warning in it.
I wanted to refute that I am no one's property, but I just kept quiet. I don't want to see his devil side again. I sighed.
"Are you the same guy that night in the hospital?"
"Yes."
"But why did you do that?"
"Because I want to make sure you're fine, Mine. I have my eyes everywhere to guard you. Soon you'll be locked in my world forever." He whispered seriously.
I really can't understand what he's saying. I was about to ask him again when the music stops.
"Let's go back, Mine. I still have business to do. Good night, Mine." And he kissed me on my bare shoulder. I shivered again.
He escorted me back to our table and bid farewell to my parents and brothers. Then he whispered something to my ears.
"I shall see you soon, Mine, and that would be the day I shall mark my property." Then he left.
