Akira started fighting and kicking desperately, but in a matter of mins, she saw a luxurious black car, by the other side of the school. The man holding her pushed her inside the awaiting vehicle before it was closed.
" Who are you, and what do you want from me" Akira shouted trying to open the door to no avail.
" Shouting, screaming and kicking, isn't going to get you out of here" a chilly yet magnetic voice said which made Akira stopped for a min to see who it was.
Turning her face to the source of the voice, her eyes saw the most handsome man she had ever laid eyes on.
Tall, for sure, a skin as clear as glass, a perfectly sculptured face, black hair and grey eyes.
This isn't the time to fantasize over some guy now is it, am been kidnapped!
" Who are you, and what do you want from me" she asked looking straight into his eyes.
" The blue diamond!" The man said shortly and sharply.
" What blue diamond?" She asked back, totally forgetting about the fact that she picked a blue diamond on the street some days back.
" Trying to play dumb, huh, have a look then" the man said turning a laptop in her direction. On the laptop, a video of the fight she witnessed earlier was on display, and how she found and picked the diamond.
" Oh, I remember, that diamond. But why should I give it to you, how can I be sure it's yours, what if you are a fake, and when the real owner finds me, I would be in trouble for giving it to the wrong person" she argued.
" Fair enough" the man said nonchalant beforr grabbing some files next to him and handing it over to Akira.
Realizing the man is either a mafia or a business tycoon who doesn't like talking much, Akira just took the file from him and schemed through it.
The files had some details about the blue diamond, it's bidding, and the name of the person who acquired the diamond. JULIAN STYLES undoubtfully Akira had heard a lot about the ruthless cold hearted CEO of styles industry.
Styles industry was the leading company in the whole of western hemisphere.
Closing the file, Akira handed it back to the man she now recognizes as Julian styles.
" Very well, I have no doubt now that you are the owner" she said clearing her throat a little, who would ever believe that, THE Julian styles is sitting right next to her!
Opening a brief case of cash, julain gave it to Akira. " Take this, it's 5 million dollars, that's for keeping my diamond safe, and not been willing to hand it over without proof" julain said, coldly.
" No, I...." Akira started before she was cut off. " 7 million dollars" julain added, thinking the money wasn't enough for her.
Dumfounded, the moment Akira opens her mouth to protest, the crazy man just kept adding money, thinking she wanted more.
" Enough, just shut up" Akira shouted, not able to take his madness anymore. " You want to reward me is it, then ask me what I want, and don't just assume. I didn't want anything at all, but since you are offering and am in need I won't refuse" Akira said taking a deep breath to stabilize herself.
" Name your price" Julian asked aloofly. " I don't have a price, but if you really want to reward me, and you really want your diamond back, then be my baby papa, and you would get your precious diamond back" Akira said looking straight into Julian's eyes.
The stoic non-expressive face of Julian changed to that of disgust for a split second, " All women are the same aren't they, disgusting, low, and manipulative. Take the money and go, don't try to request anything funny, so cheap" julain said coldly, his voice showing a deep seated anger and resentment.
" How can you have such a filthy mentality, didn't a woman give birth to you, and moreover I didn't mean it that way, but you do have a dirty mind. You might have good looks and money, but that doesn't mean I want anything to do with you". Akira said annoyed by the accusations.
" What did you mean then, asking me to be your baby papa" Julian asked.
" Look, am in a situation, my aunt is blackmailing me with fake pregnancy, she says am pregnant, which am not, and she laid a condition that I bring the man responsible within 7 days or else she would get me married to lucas brooks, moreover, she has threatened every single male acquaintance of mine against helping me. Tomorrow is the last day, you are rich and powerful, she can't blackmail you. Just pretend to be the man responsible, and help me expose her for who she is, then I would hand over your diamond and we can go our separate ways" Akira explained.
" Why don't you complain to the authority, or refuse" Julian said bluntly.
" Don't you know connection now or what, she herself is well connected, and we are talking about Lucas brooks the minister of finance, moreover it's not only about me, but my parents too. But am done explaining, you can either help me, or bid goodbye to your precious diamond, I have hid it in such a place you would never be able to find" Akira said determined crossing her hand over her chest.
" Are you blackmailing me now?" Julian questioned. " So what if I am, you can't harm me because you need the location of the diamond, and even if you try you won't be able to find it, the choice is yours Mr styles" Akira said confidently.
The car was enveloped in silence for more than five minutes before Julian finally spoke up. " Alright, just a days facade and we are done, I never want to see your face after that, tomorrow, at 2pm" Julian said before putting on his dark shades.
" You might want my address or phone number atleast" Akira said, excitement clear in her voice.
" No need, I have every single information about you already, just be at home tomorrow, and I will come by 2 sharp" Julian said.
" Okay then Mr styles, hoping to see you tomorrow" Akira said.
" The door is Open, you can go" Julian said briefly glancing at Akira. She opened the door and hoped out of the car, before picking up her bicycle at the other end and cycling off.
Julian sat quietly in the car as the driver drove him off to his work place. 'What a strange girl, and how did I agree to help her', Julian thought to himself.
