"Hello! My precious Belle!"
Belle was greeted by a man's chilling smile after her blindfold was removed. She shuddered at the sight of the man. It's been several months since he last saw him. She thought he has already given up!
"Roy....What do you want from me?", she managed to ask with her shaking voice.
Roy nodded at the two men who brought Belle in the room. They then bowed and left, locking the door behind them. The man then squatted and stared at the woman slumped to the floor before reaching out and yanking her hair. "Do you think I've already written off your debt? hmm?" he said as he leaned closer. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not that generous. You drugged me and framed me. I almost went to jail. Don't you think it's about time I ask for a compensation?"
"No!",Belle yelled as she continuously shakes her head. "It wasn't me! I didn't do it! I did not plot against you. I didn't!" she repeatedly denied.
Roy chuckled. He stood up and picked her up before throwing her to the bed. He then climbed on top of her, taking delight on her terrified expression. "You know what? You don't really have to drug me. I can do you just fine even if I'm clear headed!"
"No, please. Please don't hurt me. I beg you Roy... please let me go. I didn't do anything..." Belle pleaded. Tears threatened to fall from her eyes. Roy's expression had never been this terrifying before! "I'll do anything! I'll do anything for you. Just please let me go!"
Roy laughed manically. He found Belle's words ridiculous. "Of course you'll do anything for me. Because I will make you." he stated before tearing off her clothes. Belle screamed. She struggled as the man ravage her. She resisted until she exhausted all her strength. She can only cry for her misfortune in the end.
"You're mine, Belle. I always get the woman I want.... And I want you."

Arianna sighed. She lay on the bed staring at the ceiling. Life in captivity is rather boring. A while later, she turned her head to the right and glanced at the man pacing back and forth as if he was a father-to-be waiting outside the delivery room.
"Aren't you getting tired yet?" she asked, her brows raised in amusement.
Viper stopped for a while. He glanced back at her lady boss. "How could you even remain calm during a time like this? We're like sitting ducks waiting to be slaughtered!" he stated.
Arianna chuckled. "Then should I cry and shout 'help' right now? Do you think they would let us out if I do so?"
No, but that would make me feel like I'm with a normal human, Viper thought. Yesterday, after they were abducted, those thugs brought them to this isolated villa outside the city. After realizing that Viper was a fake and they didn't get the real Vier, they left them alone, locked in the room with nothing to eat. He's very hungry now! Are they trying to starve them to death? Did they already leave?
"If I were you, I'll just stay still and conserve energy. Who knows when our next meal would be." Arianna mentioned with a smile.
Thinking about it, she did indeed has a point. Vier pulled a chair and sat down. He was silent for a while before speaking again. "We failed this mission miserably."he uttered. "The worst part is... the enemies found out I was fake. They are now aware you're trying to lure them away from their prey. I'm afraid they won't go easy on you Miss... They'll surely torture you to squeeze out Sir's whereabout."
"Then, they can try." her eyes darkened as she let out those words. Did Viper think she was unprepared? In fact, although this was not within the plan, she more or less guessed that the enemies would try to abduct her. In truth, even though it's not a smart idea, she thought that if she got the chance to meet those people face to face, she will massacre them all! Well, that's if it's within her capabilities. But she trusts her luck! One day, she'll take revenge on that person who wanted Yago dead. "Ahh... but I'm so upset that they didn't even bother to send us food. I wonder if this is the tactic they came up with to make me talk! So stupid."
"We should be grateful they didn't tie us up. Or else we'll be pissing in our pants." Viper jested.
"Hey! I'm wearing a dress!" she corrected.
Arianna closed her eyes and didn't say anything else. She's starting to grow impatient. Where are those thugs? Why aren't they coming back yet to question her? And they ripped Yago's skin mask too! She wished for them to return soon so she can make them pay for it pronto!

Roy stared at the naked woman lying on the bed. She was staring at space and refused to look at him. He really enjoyed his night with her. Although she was not pure anymore, but she really like the taste of her!
The man stood up from his seat and stood beside Belle. He tried to touch her hair, but she avoided it. There was fear and also anger in her eyes. "Why are you looking at me like that? Aren't you clear of the situation yet? You're mine now." he declared.
"I'm not yours. I don't like you. I only like Jayden. I'll never be together with you!" she yelled.
Roy raised his brows but didn't show any sign of anger. "But that Jayden doesn't even care about you." he refuted. His expression became more gentle that morning than last night. "... while I like you very much. I'm richer and better. Why would you choose someone like him over be?"
"You're wrong. Jayden cares about me. She loves me!" she argued. The man just chuckled and sat on the edge of the bed as he took out his phone.
"Wanna bet?" he asked as he wave his phone. "If you can prove that Mr. Bates loves you, then I'm willing to let you go. But if I am able to prove my claim, then you'll submit yourself to me. You will be my woman indefinitely." He declared with a smile.
Belle gritted her teeth as she glared at the man. Roy was hadsome. But the thing she hates about him the most was his temperament. That calm and collected expression reminded her of her sister. She could only despise him! "Alright. I agree." she whispered.
Roy sneered. He swiped and unlocked the phone before dialling a string of numbers. He then pressed the speakerphone on and waited for the call to connect. A moment later, a man's voice could be heard answering the phone. Belle skipped a beat. It was Jayden's voice. She trusts him. He'll surely get her out of this cage!
"This is Roy Vander. I called to ask you something." Roy waited for a response from Jayden but there was none so he continued to speak. "I know you're a busy man so I'll get straight to the point. I like Belle. If you're willing to give her to me, I'm willing to grant anything you want in exchange."
At first Jayden was silent. But after a while, both of them heard him chuckle. "Amazing! A woman like her can still attract outstanding men? Well she doesn't have anything to do with me. Take her if you want." he replied.
"Thanks for the compliment but.... are you sure? Won't you regret it later?" Roy continued, trying to make him say more.
"She's just a worn out shoes who won't let go of my feet. If she isn't good in bed, why would I keep her? Anyway she's a big troublemaker. I won't take her back even if she begs me. She's so despicable."
Roy narrowed his eyes. He thanked him for putting an end to their relationship, but he hated him too for saying those hurtful words to Belle!
"Got it. I'm taking her away. She won't pester you again in the future." he said before ending the call. When he turned around to see Belle, he found her crying her eyes out. He couldn't help but wrap his arms around her. He sighed as he patted her back.
"You heard him. He doesn't want you." I win the bet. He wanted to add that but stopped halfway.
Belle was devastated. The truth really hurts. She wished she can deceive herself more. But this is all Arianna's fault. Jayden used to love her dearly! But because of her she lost him. It's also because of her that Roy ruined her. It was all the witch's fault!
"You win. I agree with your terms. But I have one condition to make..." Belle said as she clenched her fist. "I'll agree to be your woman but.... you need to finish Arianna for me! As soon as possible!" she stated.
