PRESENT DAY
Vanessa walked into the room where he was. She gestured at the man behind her to leave. He nodded and walked away, shutting the door behind.
There he was, with chains on his left hand and leg. The food beside him remained untouched. She sighed. Another food wasted. Vanessa walked closer to him.
"Why?" She questioned and leaned closer, grabbing his chin. "I don't want you to die on me, luv".
He gazed into her eyes. The only thing Vanessa could see in his dark brown eyes was hatred but she didn't care. He jerked her hands off and looked down, fidgeting.
"I don't know why on earth you would kidnap me and lock me up". He shouted directly. His husky voice was still attractive as ever.
Though Vanessa didn't want to do it before but she couldn't let him go. Taking him by force was her only option. He stared at her. He knew nothing about her and why she turned to this but he couldn't care less. He saw no savior. The only thing he saw was a devil right in his front.
"My dear Damian, is this how you are going to treat your savior? Okay, what do you want?" She asked, waiting for his answer.
Damian wanted nothing but freedom. He felt so suffocated there. He has a family and girlfriend and they would be so worried. He couldn't sleep thinking about his family. And also the screams right below him was heard every night. She would torture people every night. Their screams were like music to her ears. She was insane. She was no longer human. She had this evil smile on her face.
"Why do you lock up those people?" He threw back a question at her. It was so difficult to read her face. She always had this happy look on her face. She was crazy.
She shrugged. "They entertain me. Those are my VIP". She walked to the chair at a corner and sat on it.
He scoffed. "You torture them and they are your VIP? They are humans". He yelled.
"But the so-called 'humans' ruined someone's life". She yelled back at him. He trembled and was shocked. That was the first time she raised her voice at him. "I'm sorry". She said and sprawled on the chair, shutting her eyes. She was lost in her thoughts. Damian was dumbfounded. Suddenly, Vanessa laughed hysterically. He was puzzled. "Do you want to know why I took you in?" She asked, opening her eyes.

"KEEP! MY! WIFE'S! NAME! OUT! YOUR! FUCKING! MOUTH!" An audio was heard from the phone of one of the guards guarding Damian's room. They both were staring at the screen, engrossed in what they were watching.
"Damn, Will Smith smacked the shit out of Chris Rock". A man said as he laughed.
"That was hot, man". The other man tapped him on the shoulder. "I wasn't expecting that, bruh".
"What are you guys doing?". A voice said and immediately, he shut his phone off and they went back to their normal position.
"Nothing, sir". They both said.
The man approached them. He was the right man under Vanessa. The number one strongest and dangerous among all. He has a scar under his left eye and that serves as a trophy to him. He is Kreig Potvin.
"Don't lose focus". He tapped both of them on their shoulders. He opened the door and walked into the room. He saw Vanessa on a chair at the corner of the room. "Ma'am". He called as he shut the door behind.
Vanessa looked at him. "Kreig, didn't I tell you shouldn't disturb me when I'm alone with him?"
"Sorry ma'am, but it's from Mr Jones". He walked to her and gave her the phone.
She sighed and stood up. "What does that old man want?" She turned to Damian. "I won't come tonight". She said and walked to the door. She opened it and faced Kreig. "And also unchain him". She then left the room.

"What do you want, old man?" Vanessa was seated in front of Nick Jones, the second son of the former CEO of J.E Financials. Well of course, he didn't get to be the CEO after his father retired. His elder brother took over and now Nick's doing dirty things.
The room was full of luxuries. Nick always spends his money on luxuries. What he wants he must get even if it's by force. Vanessa had four bodyguards and plus Kreig right behind her. And also Nick had eight in total surrounding the whole room.
"I told you to stop calling me that. I'm just thirty-nine. I ain't old".
"Just get it over with. Why did you want to see me". She leaned backwards, crossing her legs.
"I want you to do something for me". He gestured at a man holding a old black book. The man walked forward, opening and giving it to Vanessa. She stared at the picture of a priceless object called 'The staff of Jupiter'. She looked at Nick, giving a questioning look.
"Why are you showing me this?" She placed the book on the desk in her front.
"Maximus Amadeus is having his birthday party on the 4th of June in Rome. The staff of Jupiter is right in his mansion. I thought that--"
"I should steal it?" She cut him off and nodded.
