It all didn't feel true, it was like they were lying to her. And all this feeling was like a deja Vu.
Like she had been in an expensive car with the same men in suits just like now.
Suddenly a thought rushed in her sense, "ah, what if it's true. What if they are lying?. All of this doesn't feel so real." She thought within.
"I am gonna pee" Crystal announced, and Alejandro and Nicklaus both turned to look at her. Nicklaus home was still far. So they have no choice.
She watched as Klause clenched and unclenches his fist, his_oh so well tone and perfectly shaped_ muscle moving to it.
Hell, that was not fair, he was sinfully beautiful. And that is illegal and unacceptable.
Well, maybe acceptable.
She need to escape, she really did not know this people. They looked dangerous.
Crystal has a feeling all of this was planned. She eyed the door thinking of all sort of ways to escape without them knowing.
Alejandro gets the hint. And he was sure this was not left unnoticed by his boss.
Waiting for Klaus' command, Alejandro sat and he stopped the car at the front of a very huge hotel.
On the top of the hotel was a glistening gold print that read, "Regal". Of course it was Regal. It looked mighty. And powerful and stinks money. At the same time screaming danger.
There was no way Crystal would not escape this hell hole.
She walks in the hotel, Alejandro walking close behind. Like a body guard.
But Nicklaus was still seated in the car.
Crystal did not know who was more dangerous. Alejandro looked like a beast. Who would eat you up without a second thought and throw your bones in the bottom of the sea without a trace.
But Nicklaus, she could not place him. She has been trying to study him since he entered the hospital this morning.
But he was just unreadable, the man was just dangerous. You do not want to cross paths with him.
Crystal watches as horny men scrutinized her even with half naked females on their laps.
They looked like they wanted to eat her alive.
Ew. That irked her. Alejandro chuckled as she gave that look.
"This way"
Alejandro lead her to the innermost part of the hotel. He pointed to a room, it looked like Alejandro was familiar with the place.
"You can use the toilet there. While I wait out here. He said and walks away.
Crystal watches as he leave and walk away through the hall way.
Now was her chance. She searched through everywhere. And saw some toiletries, they all belong to a male. And they all looked expensive.
She didn't care, she needed to leave.
Things felt off about Nicklaus.
She didn't waste time as she ran to the other side where not going through where Alejandro brought her.
If she ran away now, it was better. She did not know what or why this men wanted her.
And so protective of her. She had noticed the amount of guards that were in the hospital when she had wake up.
She took a left turn and luckily for her she saw a door that led out to the garage.
Easy peasy, she thought.
Then as she placed her hand on the door knob, a large arm drew her back and planting her firmly on the chest, she could smell it. The familiar cologne of his.
Nicklaus!. He had caught her.
She struggles to free her self from his tight grip but to no avail.
"Huumn. I had thought you'd be a quiet one love. But see?. I love this, feisty aren't we?."
"What do you want from me?" That came out rather harsh that she had intended. But she could use that too.
"20 billion dollars".
He replied without emotions.
Like the amount was not enough to feed the starvation foundation.
"What?". Did she owe him that amount?.
He spun her around and Crystal was met with a rather stoic and dangerous looking Nicklaus.
"That's the amount my armoury costs. I am never letting you go cause your father's wealth are all under your name. So guess what?. Your father played with the underworld. And I am ready to destroy you in return".
He answers a devilish smirk on his red cherry lips. The man was hotter even when he is angry.
Crystal noted.
"I am like a collateral?".
"That's exactly it love. I am never letting you go. So you're gonna sign my papers and be my wife. What do you say about that?". Nicklaus asks, his hands still on her waist.
So she was not yet his wife. Her body had a turn_oh slightly is her freedom.
But quickly Nicklaus shifted in his stance as he harden his grip in her waist.
"Do not even think about it love. I would advice against it." His accent thick.
He was Italian afterall.
Crystal clenched her jaw looking up in his eye. Why the hell does he have to be this tall?. It annoyed her.
" Why" she question challenging him. .
Nicklaus lifts his left brow amused. He like this one.
He brings her wrist straring straight in her eye, as he robs her little palm on his abs. Crystal has no idea what was going on.
He licks his lips, brought his lips near her ear, then breaths hot on her earlobe, this brought tingling feeling to her system.
He did things to her. She didn't recognize her self. A soft moan escaped her lips. It was so embarrassing, her cheeks flushed.
"Right here, is gun." Her fingers landed on a gun hidden in the area of his abs.
"I am simply waiting for you to say no to my request and I DROP YOU". He announced, without retreating his steps, he stares intently at her.
If there was a tingling feeling in Crystal's stomach then it is replaced by a knot.
He was really going to kill her.?
She definitely had no choice in this matter. Crystal stood there, she had lost her voice, her brain had stopped working.
It was like everywhere was closing in on her.
Like the walls was about o swallow her. He had no emotions on his face.
He always has no emotions, and people like him...
"People without emotions, they are simply heartless. They are devil's." That rang in her head. Like someone had been trying to engrave that in her.
It hurt her head. She suddenly felt dizzy.
She had lost her breath. She needed to breath.
Her lungs are empty, she was fighting for breath. Fighting this world of chaos. Unaware of her own surroundings. Didn't they see she needed help?.
Nicklaus quickly, help her lay his laps as he sits on that floor, he was begit to strip her. She did not even notice this.
"It's okay. It's all gonna be fine. Trust me." He keeps assuring her, but she did not believe him, she was shaking her head profusely.
"Trust me. You are gonna be okay. Look at me. I am real. I am not fake. Breath in. Breath out. It's all fine now. You need some more air?." He asks her she nodded.
"Now hold me."she obliged, "Follow what I do, look straight in my eyes, and breath in. Breath out. You're okay". He urges her.
After some times, her breathing was blending with Nicklaus'. She held on tight to him.
"Wh_what happened?" She asks. Her cheeks red.
"Panic attack. You were suffering from trauma. And that's a talk for another time. I wouldn't want to hurt you. Whatever it takes. I would protect you from this horrible world."
He assures her. "How did you know how to do that?". She asks, her hand still holding o to his suite shirt tightly.
"I once had it too. Everybody has their own shits too love".he simply said, he was not ready to bring up his dark past.
"Let's go. I am gonna carry you. You can't walk on your own okay?". He didn't even wait for her to confirm, he carries her in a bridal form out of the garage where Alejandro had brought the car around.
He opens the back seat and Nicklaus gently place her in the back seat, she was silent throughout the ride. But one word resounding in her head. "Whatever it takes". He had assured her he would protect her after threatening to kill her?.
She keeps scratching her wrist unknowingly, she does that often whenever she is stressed.
Nicklaus took a note of that.
Who was she going to believe?.
She thought within.
