****Ava's POV****
I woke up with a splitting headache, I look around and thought I was blind, it was pitch dark and I couldn't see a thing, my back hurt from the pain of lying on the cold floor,
"Where am I?" I asked myself.
All I remember is crying and suddenly feeling the sharp pain of being hit on my neck before I blanked out.
"Hello, is somebody there!" I yelled out.
I yelled again and I was greeted with silence.
I knew not where I was going but I struggled to get on my feet, I used my hands to trace the walls as I try to find the door, it seems I have been walking in circles, I couldn't even find the damn door.
I tried again as my eyes had started getting used to the darkness, this time I found the door knobs, luckily for me it was not locked.
joyously, I quietly creaked the door open and step out, my heart jump in my stomach when I bumped into a huge man with a feature of a bouncer, he had bald hair and an ironed face, and he was not happy to see me.
"I'm sorry Mister, can this gentle lady use the restroom please," I said with pleading eyes.
he dragged me roughly by my coat, my head hit the knob as he shoved me inside the dark room.
I heard the door lock twice and a jingling of keys, the thumping sounds of footsteps as he walks away.
I should have resumed crying by now but I have no energy left in me.
I lift my hand to my head and touch the liquid dripping down my head, I use my coat to clean up the liquid then I curled myself like a meatball, on that cold floor I slept off.
****Drexel's POV****
I had just gotten to my office, I was informed that the foreigners that are interested in buying the wholesale company's goods in the market had just flown into Central City and they will like to have an official meeting with the CEO of Mace Company.
I wanted to go home with that strange woman, I had a lot of questions probing my mind that I needed to ask her.
SOME HOURS BACK****
I went to her apartment and didn't find her in, then I hurried out, when I was descending the stairs of that slum building I saw her coming right towards me inside the rain.
I pulled out my gun to shoot her but something happened, out of a sudden the lightning struck right between the two of us and I found myself flying in the air.
The force hit me on the wall and I hurt my back.
I wanted to go back there to finish what I started but when I got up, I found out she was lying lifeless on the floor, I was an expert in my job but I guess I let my guard down,
I came there less prepared because I felt like she was a vulnerable one, she's a woman after all and after going through her file, I found out that she never gym.
"she sure lived an unhealthy lifestyle," I said as I scoffed at her file in my hands.
I should have sent my boys for the hit but I decided to take care of it myself since I was less busy and I thought she won't be a hard target.
After I almost got hit by that lightning which send me flying in the air, my whole body reverberated in pain, it felt like I was lashed with hundreds of bolt canes. I had been shot and stabbed so many times on different occasions but this pain was different.
I left her there in the rain and went back home.
after undressing and I took my bath, all I thought about was that lady that live in the slum, I hated that feeling of thinking about someone, I was uneasy so I went back to check if she had died due to the lightning.
which would have been a joyful and less stressful coincidence that can ever happen. unfortunately, I found her sleeping peacefully in her small apartment.
happily, I could just finish the job, and choke her to death then I will dispose of the body without a trace, I came with my Assistant, Tyler and he is outside in the car.
I held her neck, luckily she was a heavy sleeper, I press my whole weight on her choking her, I started having the same feeling of being choked, the more I pressed onto her neck the more breathless I become, she woke up, her green eyes glitter in the darkness, she was kicking violently but I overpowered her, the pain in my neck become unbearable as I was also running out of breath I was utterly confused about what was going on.
"Why do I feel choked when I'm the one choking her?" I asked myself.
"Have I finally lost it, everyone knows I had no emotion, it can't possibly be that I pity her," I thought to myself.
I slowly let go of her neck and she switched on the light, she jolted towards the door ready to rush out, thank God I had locked the door the moment I came in.
though I passed through the window now,
she had only blue flowery pants and a bralette on, and her long dark hair which was long to her waist dangled in her back as she run. I can't deny the fact that she had a beautiful body.
I thought she would scream but she didn't.
when she pleaded crying to me to spare her life, I felt sad out of a sudden, and a tear drop down my eyes.
"Why the f*ck am I crying?" I couldn't stand what was happening to me so I hit her on her neck which made her pass out.
hitting her on her neck left me in pain in that same spot I had hit her.
I laughed manically,
"I doubted it at first but this....does that mean that I can't hurt her without hurting myself?" I gritted my teeth in pure anger and hatred. "I can never be tamed, not by a mere lady," I said as I called Tyler to come to take her to the car, for now, I will watch her closely and figure out why she had to cast such a spell on the most dangerous man.
Now that I sat down in my office, I was so pissed off at everything.
"Ava, I was thinking of giving you a quick death since you look so fragile but now, that you fucking messed up my life, I will give you the most painful slow death you had ever imagined," I said out loud.
