Chapter 6
"A Maxwell??" Somehow the name sounded familiar."They were a lot of Maxwell. Right?"Ralda thought as she arranged the table. "God!" She had never attended VIPs before.Why now? She thought.She looked up and saw Sophie giving her a thumbs up. "You rock girl." Sophie squealed.She chuckled.. shaking her head. If only she didn't know about that Five Million Dollars.Are head would be calm and she would be thinking straight. With that huge amount to pay off... She was sure she would get sleepless nights." It's your turn Pretty. Get in before he roars your name." She heard Esme say.Tch!! Life was always ready to throw rocks at her.Couldn't it at least throw fewer rocks.. and more pillows??***At a certain Royal Crown Hotel.A large, Grand ballroom had been cautiously set up for what seemed to be a very classy event.Golden Chandeliers dangled from the glittering ceiling.An environment for the rich.. and high-class people.A BMW drove into the parking lot..and parked by the side of a Black Sedan."Boss... He might be aware of your coming and might try to ambush you." "Should I tag along?" A worried voice was heard.Ambush? Brian chuckled. "Stay here Tod, and don't move an inch," Brian warned, as got out of his car.He walked to the entrance of the Ballroom."Good evening Mr. Maxwell." The Bouncers greeted, them as they made way for him.With or without an invitation card...no one would dare block his way.He was an army on his own. He walked into the Ballroom and huffed.Two fúçking days of hard work.. would not make a man this rich. He was now certain... He had a thing with the Arabians.Anyone who got the opportunity to view what was going on inside would know that it was a gathering of the most influential and powerful people.He sighted a man, with many ladies. He walked over to the table and took a seat. "Where is he, Matt?" Brian asked as he gave Matt a deadly glare."Don't look at me like that, these are my babies." Matt smiled, as he hugged two ebonies to himself."Where is he?" He asked. "The Upper floor. East Wing." Matt answered, with a wink."And just so you know Matt, we have a problem.""You and I," Brian said, as he stood up and took the stairs.He walked into the elevator and punched the Ninth button.. that would take him upstairs.The elevator went up as usual. It stopped signifying that it was now the Ninth floor. He went out of the elevator and looked around."I'm sorry Mr. Crook. I'll surely deliver this message to the Mexican." A shaky voice was heard, along with whimpers."Father... please don't hurt my father." Another whimper."Why would I hurt your father sweetheart?""I mean your father is my fellow businessman. Hush crying now." Another deep voice was heard.Brian noticed that one to be that of Sylvester. He walked to the other end... to view what was going on.A man was on his knees.. along with his child. Brian took a good look and noticed a mark on the child's face.Did he by any chance slap the little girl? Bryan wondered. His eyes darkened.. as he continued to watch the drama without talking."You see your father here is my Drug Smuggler". "I'm not sure you know what that means sweetheart.""But he had the guts to let the Bureau take my money." "That Container was full of Drugs Mr. Tyler.""And you know how much those drugs are worth." "Billions of Money, Mr. Tyler," Sylvester said again, his eyes cold..as ice."I wonder what I should do to your pretty "daughter here."I mean she's up to age. Right?" He asked, laughing. A menacing one."No...please, Boss, spare my family from this. I'll die for my sins." The Man on the floor pleaded."When you signed your life to Mr. Tyler, didn't you read the whole contract?" "You sign the life of your family as well..so they'll pay off your problem," Sylvester said again."No. she's just nine years old. The Man pleaded in tears.""No...I think..""We have one Rule Sylvester...one Rule that no one ever breaks.""Not even me myself." Brian finally voiced out.He walked out from where he was and walked down the stairs. "Oh My!! To what do I owe this honor? Mr. Maxwell." Sylvester said and gave a slight bow....as if acting like a cheerful servant."Sylvester," Brian called, as he walked closer. He walked to the child that was on the floor and carried her up."The one Rule... we never break is;1. Don't ever hurt a child. It's a Must Rule in Our world, Mr. Crook... I'm sure the Arabians must I've taught you that, No?" He asked."I think...they did. But whew.! My head seems busy nowadays." "And besides I did not hurt the child." Sylvester gave a sarcastic smile."Ohh wow... seeing the mark on her face, if It was another person I'd doubt that." Brian nodded.He walked away with the child in his arms. "You can continue now... set a meeting, we have to discuss some things," Brian ordered as he left the child.Sylvester chuckled... looking at the retreating figure. Was he just ordered? Did he just order him to set a meeting? He thought, and let out another menacing laugh.One that did not last long.***"Keep this child safe, Matt, I'm out of here," Brian said as he handed the child over to the woman freak."Huh? I hate children Brian... I can't take care of this." Matt cried, staring at the child in front of him.He looked up and the man he had been talking to was long gone. "Hey." He waved and sighed."Girls...please make sure she doesn't run away. He flashed his teeth and relaxed back to the service they were rendering."Brian walked back to his car. One thing he hated was the Maltreatment Of Children.He hated. it made him remember stuff he hated to remember. "Where to Boss?" Tod asked, seeing his expression."McKenzie's Coffee Shop!"T. B. CChapter 7Esmeralda stood by the VIP room, she had never felt this anxious in her whole life.Her eyes trialed to the door and oh God! She almost jumped up when a customer walked in and smiled at her."Hey, Carlos." She waved at him and his smile broadened."Hi, Ralda."The name Maxwell sounded familiar but then she was going to make it work.A week ago, Lucy had reserved the table for one of their VIP and he had given her a huge sum of money for her job well done.If she could only meet that person again, she'd be free from her debt-full self."Good day Mr. Maxwell, your table has been reserved." She smiled at the man that was walking toward the VIP section."I am Troy Negatti and Mr. Maxwell is on his way." The guy smiled at her and she nodded foolishly.Damn! this was not going to work.The doorbell rang and when her eyes met the person that had walked in, She jerked.. moving back."Mr. Maxwell." It was a statement, not even a question and when his eyes traveled up...he smiled."Hm
Chapter 8When she woke up, she was in a dark room with only a little light coming through the half-opened window.She looked around and sighed.She was doomed!Her head seemed to click and she looked around.What about her sister? What about Chelsea?Her legs seemed to be chained and when she tried to move, it hurt her the more.This was not normal, her life was never going to be normal.She knew how things like this ended.She would be claimed by that man to be his mistress? Slave and then after some times, he'd dispose her or kill her after all, May had said that he had beaten up the guy named Kevin.The door opened and she frowned when an older woman walked in with a tray of food."Hi dear." She smiled but Ralda didn't smile back.Trust no one, she was expected to trust no one but herself.Right there, who ever would help her or whatsoever...she was not expected to trust.She rubbed her forehead and hissed."What are you doing?" Ralda asked."Isn't it obvious? I'm arranging your f
Chapter 9Her eyes blurred with tears and it made her vision heavy.She didn't want to stop crying, this was indeed the height of it.She had never thought something like this would ever happen to them.There was indeed no way out and she didn't like it."I'm so sorry, I didn't know about the money. I would have long been preparing for it." She begged but he paid no attention to her.He was more concerned about sitting than talking.Truth was...he was getting more impatient as he watched her."Do you want to get hit?" He asked and she quickly shook her head before sitting on the couch opposite him.He smiled, taking his seat too and folded his legs."You didn't pay back.""The time was too short. there's no way a person like me would be such amount of money in two days. we're poor." what was he thinking?How the hell was she supposed to pay such money in two days? That was not even acceptable."Hmm. I've seen many a man and women bring my money whether their poor or not. Begging, sel
Chapter 10Ralda sighed as she looked out of her room.She was given another room in the Mansion and it was just in front of her Master's.At least that was what she was asked to call him.Biting her lips, she opened the other side of her window and lifted the curtains.She pressed the blinks to the east side and sat on the window rails.It was evening and the sky was already getting misty as it was wintertime.She sighed as she looked down the window and her eyes widened when she saw someone on his knees.Her eyes widened when she looked down again, this time bracing herself with the table that was close to the window to see more of what was happening down there.Bang! The sound of a gunshot resounded in the air and she gasped, moving back to cover her mouth with her hands cause she was sure the sound she had made was loud enough for those down there to hear.Looking down again to see what had befallen the other man, her eyes widened seeing that the man that was once kneeling was dow
Chapter 11Ralda's eyes widened.She didn't yell out loud, so how did he know that she said that.She frowned and bit her lips, moving backwards till her back hit the wall.She was still wondering why and how someone this handsome would forget humanity and become heartless, so heartless that he'd blow somebody's skull out and still feel nothing.She could see a little stain of blood on the white shirt he wore under his coat.But damn his body for being so... so."Who came In here?""No one.""Liar." He sneered and she shivered.If all men were like God, they world wouldn't be such a hard place to live in."What's your name?" He asked, his eyes brooding down on hers.She looked so small to him. Compared to a tall broad man like him, she looked so small and weak!Weak! The word fell off his lips like something he hated so much.Something that disgusted him!"What?" She asked, blinking her eyes.Tears formed In her eyes, but they didn't fall.She was at edge of crying if he didn't pull ba
Chapter 12She sat down on her bed, waiting.She was so sure he would come by himself if she were to take a little more time.The door flung open and he walked in.Anger was so visible on his face, he looked like an angry god whose purpose was to kill and he was coming to kill her.She swallowed and stood up from the bed.It was 11:34 and he had asked them to get her but she had been so stubborn."What the hell are you still doing here?" He gritted his teeth, staring at the pajama she wore.It was so big on her, and her face..she looked like an unholy nun."I couldn't wear any of these. They are too short and too revealing." She mumbled and he chuckled. A chuckle so low you wouldn't think he did at all."And? You couldn't wear them because?" He asked again, glaring at her."My father taught me to only wear decent dresses and...""Shut up!" He boomed.He didn't care about her petty talks or neither did he care about her being decent.He wanted his woman to be fucking hot, and hell! He
Chapter 13They both walked into the party together.Ralda sighed,as the bright lights shone brightly into her eyes.Her mouth was dry and she needed to drink water but then there was no way she'd tell him that, with that angry looking face he was keeping."Boss." A familiar face came to stand in front of them.It was the very same voice from the car and it was the very same guy he had asked to take her clothes off the last time she was In his room.He gave her a smile and she returned it.Was she to be angry at him or what? He was just following orders right?"Stay with her, I'll be back." The mad looking Mr Brian turned to her and she nodded.Ralda had a lot on her mind but one look from the man was enough to let those thoughts running away.He looked so scary when he frowned as if he was cursed but then his Handsome face always made him stand out like an angel.A cursed Angel. Isn't that Lucifer?"Do not leave his side. Do not talk to anyone and do not eat untill I tell you to." He
Chapter 14The drive was fast and terrifying.It wasn't for the speed they were taking but the man that was sitting opposite her.He looked like a devil right there in the car, as he inputed more bullets into the gun.Was he going to kill someone? What had she gotten herself into?Was her father worth all these? The man was dead for Pete's sake!"Stop looking at me. It'll give me an impression that you want to hold it." He smiled, his eyes gazing at her.She shifted her gaze, her heart thundering in her chest.Was he taking her there? With him? "I'm tired and I want to go back to the mansion." She munmbled, coughing."We'll go back together when I'm done and as for holding this." He smirked, stretching his hand and pointing her the gun..."What?" She cocked a brow.What was this guy trying to do?"Hold it. Don't act stupid,you know what I mean." He said, his hand stretched out.Ralda blinked, stretching her hand forward to grab the gun."Soon enough, you'll be a monster with that. I'
