"Let's make her pay. She will regret for almost getting us in trouble with Lucian Grey"
"No. We cannot do anything to her, as her twentieth birthday has started" The mistress said, checking the time. They carried her body to the trunk of the car, as Georgia's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Remember to do the job before he takes her away, do you hear me? Or else...you won't be getting any money"
"I understand miss Hazel" Georgia sighed and turned to the guard.
"We have to make it seem like we have been giving her paradise. But also do what Hazel told us to do, give her the drugs, so Lucian will not know about what happened"
The guard nodded and started the car.

At Spades...
3:48AM
Aara woke up, seeing chains on her hands and legs. She was chained to a bed. She groaned, feeling her head pound. Aara cursed. She was caught! Aara wondered what these people would do to her. How could she be so careless to sleep in the streets? She tried to get out of the chains but could not and bit her lower lip, helpless.
"Get me out of here!"
"Hey, sleeping beauty finally woke up" Aara saw four thin old men come towards her. She shook her head. Would they try to rape her? It was literally the second time that people tried to rape her in just a day and some hours and she could not do anything, she was powerless.
"Is this the only thing the people of country Z can think of? If you guys dare touch me, you will pay"
The men looked at each other, laughing.
"I like a girl who is feisty"
"Me too" They laughed again, looking at her curvy body through the white shirt she stole from Matt and the thin material skirt which barely showed because of the length of the shirt on her thighs.
Aara looked at the way these men were staring at her and almost threw up.
"Let's not delay this any further. She is worthy for us to pass out our AIDS"
Aara felt like her soul left her body for a couple of seconds when she heard the old men. AIDs? Why would Spades do this to her when has been nothing but their gold?
The men stripped in front of Aara as tears rolled down her eyes. The look of the men hurt her eyes and she averted her eyes
"P-please"
The old men came close to her, but before they could do anything, they heard a
BOOM!
One of their men was down, with blood coming out of his head.
"A-a...a gun...shot!" The remaining three men swallowed, slowly turning around. Aara's heart skipped a beat when she heard the gunshot. However, when the men turned around, she could clearly see who shot the man.
"Matt?" Aara gasped in disbelief. Wasn't he the man who tried to rape her hours ago? Was he here to save her or kill her for injuring him and running away? No...there was no way he was here to save her. Aara's body trembled at the thought of what Matt would do to her. It was her fault. She shouldn't have messed with a mafia. But still she couldn't have let him rape her. Her actions were justifiable.
Aara flinched when she heard more gunshots and the remaining three men were down.
Matt smirked as he looked at Aara's terrified expression.
"Missed me?"
Before Aara could begin to beg for mercy, she saw him come closer to her and bend to her legs, however his next move made her confused.
Matt removed the chains from her legs and hands and clutched her waist, giving her discomfort.
"Matt...wha-"
"Consider this as a favour you will pay back eventually"
"Get him!" Georgia shouted and the guards of Spades rushed to their direction but before they could do anything, Matt shielded Aara with his back and smashed out from the window and held a black rope that came from the helicopter and...
BOOM!
Spades exploded.
"Fuck...that was a close call"
Aara swallowed with eyes opened wide, trying to process everything that just happened. ait seemed as if everything happened in a second. it seened like a dream she couldn't come out of. Her heart was pounding so fast while she took in shaky breaths. The helicopter landed quickly and Matt pushed Aara in his car, driving in full speed. Aara looked back at Spades and then Matt
"You...why did you save me?"
Matt did not bother answering her and just continued driving with his eyes focused on the road as if he was running away from something.
"Matt. Are you even listening to me? You just killed hundreds of innocent people!" Aara exclaimed. She had thought of a way to escape and free those innocent slaves but every one was now gone.
"So? If i want something, i would stop at nothing to get it and i just wanted to take you from there so...i did what i had to do. After all, i want to be the one to fuck you first" Aara shook her head in disbelief.
"I want to come out now!"
"No. I practically own your life now, miss Aaralyn"
"No you dont! I want to get out of here. Stop the car, Matt" She yelled as her eyes caught on a dozen of black cars coming towards them.
"Matt! Stop the car. Look there!"
Matt squinted and tut his teeth in annoyance. "Fuck! How could he have found me" He tried to dodge the cars but they surrounded his car and he quickly stepped on the brakes and the car came to a halt.
"Why are there so many black cars here, Matt" Aara asked but got no answer from Matt.
She saw a man coming out of the darkness of the early morning, elegantly dressed in all black. She could not see his face clearly so she followed Matt out of the car.
"If it isn't Lucian Grey. You found me eh?"
Aara's eyes opened wide. It was him. Lucian Grey. She completely forgot that she was owned by someone. By a mafia and that it was time to be taken away.
Lucian came in front of Aara, grasping her dainty waist possesively. He pulled her toward him, feeling her wild heartbeat. He looked at Matt, who was gritting his teeth, annoyed.
Lucian ignored Matt's question and tilted his head a little while he arched a brow.
"Matt...do you have a deathwish...?"
Matt just scoffed, strolling towards his car. Lucian pointed a gun at the back of Matt's head and smirked, seeing Matt freeze.
"You sure do have guts, Matt. But not much..."
"You dare touch what belongs to me eh?" Aara hissed as Lucian's grip on her was getting tighter.
"L-Lucian...I don't want to go with you" Lucian's lips turned up, as if ridiculing her words.
"Well, you do not have a choice."
Lucian threw his gun to one of the guards and was about to leave but Matt stopped him.
"I saved her life. Where were you when she was about to be fucked by-"
Aara saw Lucian leave to his car. Was he just leaving? Just like that? She never thought that Lucian would just leave like that. Aara sighed. Aara was about to run when Lucian came back with four travel boxes. He dropped them at Matt's feet and took Aara's waist again.
"That's enough to compensate you. If you need more, just call me or book an appointment. Thank you for your time" Lucian led Aara to the car and closed the door, having one last annoyed look at Matt.
Aara exhaled. A lot of things had been happening lately and she could not help but feel overwhelmed. She looked over to Lucian as the sun was setting, showing his godly features.
'What a Greek god' A shrewd Greek god. Aara thought and turned her face to the window when he caught her staring.
Lucian Grey, a 26 year old mafia bachelor who only cares about his money and business.
Aara had not know Lucian and this was the first time they had met, but form the story Hazel, her aunt told her, Lucian was a devil in disguise and was not meant to be trusted. Although he looked calm but was wicked and cold.
Lucian was ruthless and cared less about the emotions and feelings of others. He killed people who messed with him like it was nothing which enveloped fear in the citizens of country Z's hearts, and it seemed to be true. Although he had not done anything to Aara yet but she felt terrified at Lucian. The man who now owned her. Her supposed master...
