Xyrine Jean's POV
"Where is Tennessee?!" I exclaimed as I reread the address on the slip of paper he handed me yesterday.
[Saturday night
Heaven's Club
8 PM.]
"The place and time are correct, so where is he?" I glanced around, searching for him when I accidentally bumped into someone.
"Hey! What the hell?" She raised an eyebrow at me, scanning me from head to toe. "What a pathetic, cheap-looking girl," she added before walking past me.
Did she just call me cheap?
Ha, why on earth did I even agree to be the 'TOY' of those crazy MFs? Imagine serving not just one, not two, but four insane people. Anytime, anywhere, whenever they want, I have to go to and serve them.
"Be my mistress."
And what did the devil mean by that? Is he married to use the term mistress? Well, if he's not crazy enough to just pick random people to be his mistress, I don't know what else. I clenched my fist, once I finish a year at Montreal, I'll make them pay! For now, I have to endure.
I adjusted my cap and kept walking. Now, Where the heck is this Womanizer?
I glanced around again, searching for him, but I couldn't even catch a glimpse of him. As I took another step, a man blocked my way.
"Looking for someone?"
I stared at him, taking in his striking red hair and the multiple earrings lining his ears. My gaze then shifted to the two men standing behind him, both sporting a similar edgy appearance.
Hays! What kind of club did I end up in?
I had no time for them, so I walked past them.
"Hey, did you just ignore me?" he said smiling, but his brows already frowning.
"I did." I tried to walk past him again, but he blocked my way once more.
He chuckled, "Hold her."
I almost startled when his minions grabbed my arms. "What's your problem—"
"Hey! Is that the famous 4 Kings?", "Shocks! It's them!"
I was about to finish my sentence when a commotion began around us.
For Pete's sake. Even here? Wait, I thought I was just meeting Ten here. Why are they all here?
From a distance, I saw them walking in my direction, except for Louren, who I couldn't spot. The surroundings fell silent as they finally stood in front of me.
"Zeke, why are you here?" Ren asked the red-haired guy in front of me. I guess they know each other.
"Just playing around," Zeke replied, then looked at Spade. "Miracle that you're here. What's up?" he said to Spade, who ignored him and kept staring at me.
What? Enjoying the scene? I almost uttered.
"You know her? Is she one of your girls?" Zeke asked Spade, nearly making my hair stand on end.
When I looked at Spade, he was still seriously staring at me. Ha, this guy, Instead of blankly staring at me, why don't you just help me? Besides, you're the reason I'm here.
"No."
His answer made my jaw drop. I was about to protest, but he walked past me. When I looked at Ren and Ten, they just shrugged as if I'm invisible.
These fools! really... They're the reason I'm here, and now they're just leaving me like this? Well, who cares? As if I want to be associated with them.
"Right, I don't know anyone here. Can you let go of me now?!" I ordered again.
Zeke just smirked and approached me, "You know what? I'm very fond of innocent and virgin girls."
"And?" I asked, blatantly.
I flinched when he suddenly touched my thigh. "Damn! Look at that. Your expression is priceless. Are you really a virgin?" He moved his hand further up my thigh.
"Remove your hand," I commanded.
"Shhh. Try not to resist and just enjoy this—BOGS!"
Just as my blood began to boil, Zeke fell to the ground in an instant, and it wasn't my doing.
"Oh, I forgot something," Spade said, stepping on Zeke's head.
"I think I know her," Spade said seriously while stepping on Zeke's face.
"Fvck Spade! I asked if you knew her, you said no!" Zeke groaned.
"Is that so?" Spade replied with a smile, then turned to me.
"Isn't this woman my mistress?"
What nonsense is he blabbering about? So now he remembered me?
"No?" he asked me.
When I didn't answer, he raised his foot and stepped harder on Zeke's head again, like he's just a mere insect.
When I saw blood oozing from Zeke's nose, my heart raced. Despite the man's groans and all the noise around us, all I could hear was my own heartbeat.
Why the hell is he doing? Does he want to hear that I'm his mistress directly from my mouth?
When I still didn't answer, he pressed his foot more aggressively against Zeke's head, his gaze locked on me with an unsettling intensity.
Ha! What an unhinged guy. I've killed people without remorse, but it was always for a valid reason. I've never met someone this crazy, going beyond for such an absurd reason.
I quickly shrugged off the two guys holding me full force, and grabbed a beer bottle from a nearby table, smashing it against Zeke's head without hesitation, spilling his blood on the floor.
I finally snapped.
When I looked at Spade, I almost got irritated. He looked like a psycho who had just unboxed his new favorite toy. Crazy Fvck.
"I'm your mistress, and we are both devils, a match made in hell," I smiled at him. "Aren't we?"
When his smile slowly faded, I wanted to step back.
"All of you, out," Spade commanded with such authority that everyone around us disappeared in seconds.
I remained standing, staring at Spade as he approached me. I swallowed hard when he stopped just a foot away from me. I even made me tilt my head up because he was so fvcking tall. When our eyes finally met, I feel like I'm staring into a black hole.
And why do I feel like I'm not the only one who snapped, and why does he look so pissed?
"I've never seen a mistress being touched by multiple men in her man's presence," he said blankly.
I almost snickered, "Oh, forgive me, Milord. That… that won't happen again. Please spare this peasant's life," I sarcastically stated.
His smug smile suddenly turned into a serious and blank expression again.
Right, let's end this. His expression is creeping me out now.
"If you have nothing more to say—" I gasped as he suddenly grabbed my nape, bringing our faces close.
"Open up your ears, my dear mistress, as I'll only say this once." He leaned in close to my ear.
"I don't like toys played with by others. You are plainly a 'peasant' as you claimed…" I almost gasped as I felt his breath between my nape and ears. "So act like one." With that, he released me and walked past.
Minutes passed, but I remained rooted to my spot.
Should I tag myself as his mistress and his toy officially? Is that what he wants? A laugh almost escaped my mouth.
I was about to leave the bar when I saw someone making out in the distance.
Isn't that Ten?
When Ten noticed me, he broke free from his kiss and waved me away as if to tell me to leave.
"You're dismissed for today. I don't want my handsome face getting mashed, right, babe?" Instead of replying, the girl he was kissing pulled him back, and they resumed their make-out session.
Watdahek? I rolled my eyes at the sight and was about to leave when someone grabbed my shoulder.
It was Ren.
"Hey, pretty intense there, huh?" he commented.
I brushed off his hand, "Fvck off."
He laughed at my curse and handed me a piece of paper. "Meet me there tomorrow," he added.
Right, it's his schedule tomorrow.
I was about to ask for the detail, but he was dragged away by a girl who aggressively kissing him.
Seriously, their group is really a masterpiece!
The leader is a lunatic, while its members are fvcking Casanovas.
THE NEXT DAY
Just thinking about what's going to happen today makes me want to end my life.
"Ugh! I wanna quit!" I screamed, pulling at my hair.
Since there was nothing I could do about our deal, I got up and took a shower. I threw on a white shirt and pants before leaving.
After a few hours of travel, I finally arrived at the Monheim Compound, the address Ren gave me yesterday. I scanned the area but I saw nothing but old drums, hollow blocks, and various old things in an abandoned building. Well, it's more like a hideout.
And why did he ask me to come here?
I continued walking when suddenly someone covered my mouth. Everything happened so quickly that I didn't even realize what happened next.
"Ugh! Where am I?" I looked around to figure out where I was, but I was stunned by what I saw.
What is this? Another hideout?
"Finally, you're awake." I flinched when someone suddenly spoke.
"You?" I asked, looking at the man in front of me. He was the guy from the club last night—the one with red hair. Zeke.
"What's up?" he asked seriously.
Ha, judging by his appearance, I should be the one asking him, What's up?
"What do you want from me?" I asked firmly.
"From you? Nothing. But from Ren and Spade, we have something," he replied seriously. "You know, I didn't plan on using you, it just so happened you were the one we found at Ren's gang's hideout, so we had no choice but to take you. Besides," he stared at me intently, "I think you're more valuable than I expected."
"Are you stupid? Even if we wait here for a year, nothing will happen! And why?" I laughed. "I am nothing to them but a fvcking PLAYTHING!" I shouted at him.
"Hey, you seem to forget, you're alone here, and between the two of us, you're the one tied up!" His jaw clenched. "That damn Spade! Let's see how he reacts when he finds out his girlfriend was raped," he added.
Crazy. What nonsense is he talking about? And what does he mean by rape?
"Just dream on," I mocked him. I was almost free from the ropes around my hands when he approached me.
"You really want to get hurt—?"
"ZEKE!" His words were cut off by a man's voice echoing throughout the place.
"You really are a rat, aren't you?" Ren suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Great, you showed up. But why are you alone? Where's Spade?"
"You probably won't see another sunrise once Spade finds out who you kidnapped," Ren replied, glancing at me.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry to finish you four, we've got plenty of time," Zeke grinned like a crazy fvcktard.
"Where's Yumi?" Ren asked seriously.
Yumi? Isn't that a girl's name? Don't tell me they kidnapped someone else besides me. Is that why he's here?'
"Don't worry, your sister is safe." Zeke whistled, and his companions emerged, holding a blindfolded little girl.
"Onii-chan? Are you here? I'm scared," the little girl cried.
Ren clenched his fists but forced himself to stay calm. "Yumi, just a little longer. We'll go home soon. You trust your brother, right?" He smiled bitterly.
Wait, what does this mean? Yumi is not a woman but a kid? Don't tell me...
[Author's note: This part contains explicit content that addresses sensitive themes, including child harm and sexual violence. Reader discretion is advised.]
"I came here alone. If you're people worth talking to, let my sister and that woman go in exchange for me," Ren offered.
"Hahaha! Fool! Do you think there's room for mercy in this place? Let them go? Why would we let the kid go when she's our trump card?" Zeke snarled. Ren was stunned by Zeke's words.
"What do you mean?" was all he could manage as confusion began to show on his face.
Ignoring Ren, Zeke signaled his companions, "You guys, what are you waiting for? Tie him up!" Surprisingly, Ren didn't resist.
My hands were still tied when they began beating him up. I felt my heart skip a beat, then start racing. I didn't know what was happening, but this was bad.
"Just a little longer," I whispered, loosening the final knot in the rope binding me.
"AAAAH!"
I shut my eyes as I heard Ren's loud scream. When I finally looked at him, he was already lying on the ground, his face bloodied and bruised.
"If you had just followed orders, you wouldn't have gotten hurt," Zeke sneered.
"Now, watch how we torture your sister because of you," he added with a crazed look. With that, he grabbed the child and tore her clothes without hesitation.
"Please, no! Please!" the child cried. "Onii-chan, I'm scared..." she continued sobbing.
Ren tried to move, but he was badly beaten. As the atrocity unfolded before me, something in my chest started to stir. "Stop," I said blankly. They all paused when I spoke but then laughed at my words. "Stop that!" I finally scream.
At this point, I didn't know what I was capable of doing. I felt my bloodlust rising by the second. And this isn't good. They ignored me and continued touching the child's sensitive parts, making my heart race even faster.
"Please, stop," I begged, my heart pounding like crazy.
"Stop? Do you know what our group is infamous for? Raping anyone—a man, an old woman. But do you know our specialty? Raping a chi—"
"STOP IT!" I shouted again.
He ignored me and continued, "Children crying out loud, begging like a fvcking doll, is satisfying to the point—CRACK!"
The entire palce fell silent as Zeke's head rolled to the floor. "I told you to stop," I said firmly, Zeke's blood dripping from my hand.
"W-wait a minute. H-how did you get here so fas—THUD!"
They were even more shocked when another man's neck snapped in an instant.
Seeing him with his head hanging down his chest fully awakened my bloodlust.
"It's been so long..." I muttered, emotionless at my hand now covered in blood.
As I glanced around, my heart couldn't help but to raise even more. "This is dangerous," I said before disappearing.
As their heads rolled one by one, the entire area was slowly filled with the stench of blood. When there was no one left standing in front of me, I laughed. I always knew. Killing has always been this fun.
I was about to step toward the unconscious child when a man suddenly appeared and approached her. "D-don't move, or I'll kill this kid!" he threatened, acting as if he had the upper hand.
I looked at him. I didn't know why, but I couldn't stop smiling when I saw him trembling. Amazing. People like him are the reason I lose my morals.
"Go ahead. Kill her." I uttered as I moved closer to him.
"Xyrine, stop it." I turned to Ren, who was drenched in his own blood, his weary eyes pleading with me. "They're heartless bastards. If you don't stop, he won't hesitate to kill my sister. So please, stop this," he said weakly.
I smiled at what he said. "But I intended to kill all of you here," I said, almost lost in my own world, as if the gravity of the situation didn't matter.
"You are crazy!" the trembling man stammered.
"Seeing you like that, how can I stop now?" I took another step toward him.
"Xyrine, please, come back to your senses and save Yumi!" Ren's words were the signal that made me stop.
I looked at Ren, who was staring at me seriously. When our eyes met, I fully returned to my senses.
"T-this..." was all I could say.
At that moment, my defenses lowered, and I couldn't do anything as I felt someone approaching me. I wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
"Argh!" I was about to hold my neck when I realized both my hands were tied to the sides of a bed.
Wait, why am I on a bed, and why are my hands tied? Even my feet are tied now!?
I looked down at myself. My eyes widened when I saw what I was wearing. A super short skirt and a crop top uniform.
Fvck! What nonsense is this? Who the hell did this?
I couldn't remember anything after what happened before I passed out. The last thing I remembered was Ren's face.
Shit! This isn't good.
I was trying to untie my hands and feet when someone entered the room.
"Baby girl, are you ready? Daddy is here! HAHAHAHAHA!" said a burly man with a beard and tattoos covering his body.
fvck! I've seen this kind of scene before. Don't tell me? I've been sold to the Mafia?!
Fvck, seriously, a lowlife mafia? wait, The ropes are too tight! My mouth is taped shut, so there's no way I can scream.
Wait! Xyrine! Think! No. I need help. But who? I snapped back to reality when the burly Mafia man climbed onto the bed in front of me. My hair stood on end as he touched my leg.
This bastard! If I get out of here, I swear he'll die in a blink of an eye.
My eyes widened as he brought his face close to my exposed stomach.
What's he going to do? I closed my eyes tightly when he stuck out his tongue near my navel.
Nooo! Fvck! It's disgusting!
I couldn't breathe anymore when a loud bang echoed from the door. I slowly opened my eyes to see what had happened, but I was stunned by who caused it.
"Touching someone's mistress, are we?"
