Married to the ruthless mafia billionaire

Grey's anger boiled over, his words dripping with malice, "You all are useless! You can't even track down a single woman?" He spun, pacing furiously. "Find her and bring her back no matter what" Lee, Grey's most trusted ally, stepped forward. "We'll find her, sir" he said, his expression resolute. Grey's anger filled gaze snapped to him and his eyes narrowed. Grey's thunderous voice echoed through the room "Out! All of you! Fools!" He bellowed dismissing his men. As the door shut, he refilled his glass with wine and began to pace 'She couldn't have done it alone…. But how? I had her phone… Who dared interfere?' Grey's eyes narrowed, calculating his next moves. Pearl, Grey's sister, swept into the room, her blonde hair cascading her back. Her cat-like eyes flashed with disdain as she spat his name "Grey" the word dripping with venom. Grey's gaze narrowed anticipating her outburst. Grey Spoke his gaze fixed ahead "what do you want" his voice low and even, hint of warning beneath the surface. "Celina's missing and you're here indulging in wine" Pearl's voice laced through the air filled with disgust and Grey's expression remained impassive. Grey's response was curt, unprepared for Pearls scrutiny "My boys are looking for her" "You can't just let her get away with this" Pearl snapped her eyes blazing "What are your plans, Grey?" and Grey turned cold that instant. "She's yet to be found, I'll have to wait till I see her" Grey spoke through gritted teeth, his anger palpable, his fists clenched. Pearl moved closer to Grey, a sly chuckle escaping her lips "Does she really Matter to you? She's a commodity, sold by her father to us, consequences notwithstanding." Grey's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched at Pearls words "If I get hold of Celina, she'll pay dearly for running from me" Grey clenched his fists, demonstrating his rage, "Did she think she had somewhere to hide or someone to turn to, after all I have done for her family?" Greys roar echoed in the room, making pearl step back Pearls eyes widened, her body trembling as she touched her brothers shoulder lightly lead him to a nearby sofa, with a trembling voice she said "look at what Celina's doing to you, is it not enough to send her away or turn her to a servant" "Get out" Grey barked, his face twisted in anger, Pearl trembled, turning to leave when sudden chaos erupted outside; screams and commotion. Grey sprinted out, as if haunted by some unseen forces. Pearl followed suit, her heart racing. Grey's gaze fell on Celina, fiercely resisting his men. His fury ignited 'Does she think she can escape and still defy me? She's begging for destruction' he mentally snarled. "Celina." he bellowed, his voice making her freeze in terror. "You think you can escape me?" Grey's eyes blazed with fury "I confiscated your phone; who aided your escape?" Celina's silence was deafening and it infuriated him further. "Speak! Who helped you?" Grey bellowed his voice dripping venom and Celina trembled, intimidated by Grey's rage. Celina's eyes downcast avoiding Grey's intense gaze, her voice cracked betraying her fear "Please let me go" Celina whispered her words laced with desperation. Pearl's sudden slap sent Celina reeling, her cheeks stinging with pain, and the unexpected blow left Celina speechless. Pearl's face twisted in disgust and her words dripped with malice "You think running away solves anything? After everything we did for your family, saving them from getting bankrupt" Celina felt a sting from Pearl's verbal abuse. Grey thundered "Pearl enough." And he gestured for everyone to leave. As the others departed, pearl lingered, eager to witness the confrontation, however Grey's stern expression made it clear she wasn't welcome either. Sensing her brother's wrath, Pearl reluctantly exited, but not before positioning herself near the door to eavesdrop. Grey paced around the room, his tall frame looming over Celina "Why do you want to leave?" He demanded his voice low and urgent " why are you trying to run away". Celina's eyes blazed with determination " I'm tired of being treated like a slave" Celina declared finding unexpected courage within herself. "Stop treating me with disdain" Grey's slap sent Celina reeling. "Who gives you the right to speak to me like this?" He thundered, his grip tightening as he shook her violently and the resounding slap followed by Pearl's sinister smile. Celina's lips parted but her voice caught on her throat, her silent sobs filled the room, a heartbreaking sound, Grey's gaze faltered, his expression softened at the sight of her anguish but she refused to yield. Grey screamed, his voice haunting and frantic "What makes you think you can run away from me?" His words trembled with fury. Celina pleaded with tears streaming down her face "Please, Grey, let me go. You don't love me and I mean nothing to you" Her voice cracked under the weight of her despair. Grey's lips curled into a cruel smile as he smoothed his hair back. A cold, mirthless laugh escaped his lips drawing Celina's confused gaze "Who do you think you are?" He sneered, striding behind her back sending shivers down Celina's spine and she yanked her hair, making her wince. Celina screamed, her voice hoarse with pain "Let go of my hair" Grey's smirk twisted his face, as he retorted "I'll never let let you go" "Please Let me go, please Grey, I beg of you," Celina pleaded, and with a sudden motion he slapped her again leaving her face numb and tingling, as her hands were already bound to the chair and Grey's grip tightened on her hair and fear and desperation consumed Celina. Grey released her hair, but his eyes bored into hers, cold and calculating "you're begging for destruction, aren't you?" He whispered his voice dripping with malice "What have I done to you?" Celina pleaded with her weak smile faltering "I won't run away again. Just let me go. I'll never do this again" Tears streamed down her face as despair overwhelmed her, 'But how wouldI survive here for the rest of my life,' she thought, her mind racing with desperation. Grey's expression remained unfazed by Celina's tears. A sly smirk spread across his face as he thought, 'This will teach her a lesson never to run from her savior.' He took a step surveying her frail, dirty form. A flicker of pity danced in his chest, but he swiftly suppressed it. 'I'll never show her my weakness' he vowed to himself 'Never' Grey's eyes hardened and he let out a calculated sigh "Grey please….. let me go" Celina begged , her voice barely audible. "I'll pay you back whatever my father took from you. Just leave me and my life alone" Celina's eyes pleaded, her voice trembled, desperation clung to her voice. "I should let you go...?" Grey's voice trailed off, replaced by a low menacing chuckle "But that's not possible Celina. Your father promised you to me to save his bankrupt company, not to let you work off some debt" Grey's face inches away from her, sending shivers down her spine. "Please let me go," Celina begged, her voice trembling as she violently shook the chair. Tears streamed down her face, her eyes pleading for mercy, desperation and fear radiated from her shaking form. Pearl standing at the door smirked in satisfaction before turning to leave her eyes gleaming with malice. Grey's eyes burned with possession "We're bound together forever, no matter where you go or what you do, you'll always end up with me" Grey whispered, his face inches away from Celina's and Celina's heartbeat quickened. "Do you know why, because you're my asset, my property, I bought you with my money and that makes you mine". His voice dropped to a menacing growl. "Never think about leaving here or leaving me, you're mine now and forever."
