Chapter 4 - Pain

Derrick woke up feeling confused the next day. His head was pounding. He sat on the bed until someone came into the room. Click, clack, click, clack... he heard someone's high heel coming towards him.

"Who are you?" He asked without looking up.

"You don't have the right to ask who I am. Take this medicine and come with me." Derrick saw the pale-white slender hand again. He didn't want to converse with anyone, so he took the pill from the hand and swallowed it. As he stood up slowly, he followed the person without knowing who it was.

"My lady." One man bowed as he saw her exiting the room. Elvira nodded. Her cold eyes made everyone feared her. As they walked through the dimly lit hallway, Derrick looked around and he saw a lady in the front. He tried to reach out to her, but he couldn't. His head was still hurting, but it was much better than before.

"Come into my office." Elvira asked him to stand in front of her desk while she took her seat. Behind her was a row of glass window. They could see the entire city of Sanya. As the only owner of the Omega Group, Elvira was highly respected and anyone who betrays her will be shot to death. She was a beautiful and lethal lady. Her dark brown wavy hair and her slender figure were very attractive to men. She wore a black leather jacket and pants. Elvira had no interest in love. She only uses people who benefit her.

"Why did you bring me here?" Derrick was mad at the fact he was kidnapped.

Elvira smiled and looked at his angry face, made her even more interested in him. She stood up and walked towards him.

"Why?" She asked, "Just because...."

"Just because of what?" He replied in annoyance.

"Patience, Derrick. I know what you want." Her finger touched his chin and whispered, "You will only be safe once you're in here." She turned away and got a pill bottle from her desk. "This is for your headache. Take it once a day." She extended his hand and gave him the pill bottle. Derrick threw the pill bottle on the floor and all the pills spilled onto the carpet.

"Tell me why I am here?" He shouted and suddenly his head started hurting again. He kneeled to the ground and he could barely stand up. Elvira sighed and said, "Your headache won't go away unless you eat this. Be good, otherwise I don't know what I will do next."

Derrick's hand slowly got the pill from her hand and swallowed it. He gradually became better. Elvira stood up and gave him his clothes.

"Wear this for today. Your clothes are stained with dirt." Elvira turned away while Derrick changed his clothes inside her room. Once she turned around, Elvira walked towards him and touched his hand, then grabbed his dirty clothes.

"Ling, throw his clothes away."

"Yes, My lady." Ling hurried outside to get rid of them.

Elvira looked at Derrick, then said, "Elvira is my name. I will allow you to call me that because you are handsome." She touched his face, then neck. She saw his eyes that were raging with anger.

"Derrick Han. 31 years old. From now on, you will be part of the Omega Group. You will never get out of here unless you have my permission." Elvira looked at the picture of her father and her back was against Derrick.

Derrick closed his eyes. He's finally at the Omega Group. He swore he would expose all of their dirty plans and accuse all of them of murder. Suddenly, someone kicked his knees and yelled, "Bow!" Derrick winced in pain and he felt the gun behind him. Elvira raised one of her hand and said, "He's my guest. Be nice to him. Whoever disobeys me, I will get rid of them one by one. Killing all of you will be easy. It's not my first time killing a person." Elvira's eyes looked into Derrick's eyes and she smiled again.

"Derrick, I don't want to kill you. You just need to obey me." She whispered into his ears that made his body tingle. He clenched his hand and reminded himself that Elvira was his enemy.

"You will never defeat me, Derrick. Your headache will only get worse if you disobey me. It will only get better if you stay close to me. Although it's in my nature to see people suffer, but since you are my special guest... I would hate to see you go through pain." Elvira embraced him and said, "This is my mark. You will be my person from now on. Derrick, betray everyone you had worked with in the past and follow me. I'm the only person who can understand your pain."

Derrick didn't have any choice. His weapons were not on him. They even took away his phone, wallet, ID. He had nothing on him. He closed his eyes again and said, "Yes, sir." His only chance of survival was to stay close to her.
