/Penelope's POV/
“50 million dollars.” A cold voice proposed making me whip my head in the direction where the voice came from.The hall went silent when they heard the offer and all of a sudden, chatter and whispers broke out in the hall about someone buying a pet for 50 million dollars.“Sold.” The auctioneer sealed my fate with just one word, I looked over to the place where the voice came from again, this time, his face came to light and I was mesmerized by what I saw, a striking male figure with medium-tanned skin that perfectly complements his 6'3" athletic muscular build.His captivating grey eyes shimmer with depth and intrigue. His thin lips, when they curve into a smirk, reveal a hint of wickedness and ruthlessness. His mahogany hair, styled with effortless coolness, adds a touch of ruggedness to his overall appearance. As I looked at his body closely, I noticed intricate tattoos adorning his skin, each one telling a unique story. This man exudes confidence and mystery, leaving a lasting impression wherever he goes.“Surprisingly, he is here this year. He's known for being absent so I wonder how he would spend so much on her.” The closest lady to me whispered down the podium.“Oh shit, He's Hunter Niklaus.” The man whispered making the people in the front row's blood run cold, even the auctioneer stiffened when he heard the name making me think about who he was and how he had so much power.“Who is Hunter Niklaus?” another voice asked the man who discovered his identity.“He's your worst nightmare, don't call his name if you don't want him to hunt you. He's the most ruthless-blooded killer you will ever meet. He's the Don of the Demon mafia. ” He whispered and for the tenth time today, I froze.“Sold to Hunter Niklaus.” The auctioneer’s voice brought me back to my present situation.Another set of muscular bouncers lifted me carelessly while forcing me up like some scapegoat, I was about to complain about them being gentle but the Don beat me to it.“If you don't keep your filthy hands over her body, I'll detach them from your bodies.” His cold voice threatened while effortlessly wreaking havoc and fear in the people around him making everyone shut up and silence in the hall, you could hear a pin drop from how silent it was.I was quickly dropped by both of them making the Auctioneer help me up, before I could realize it, I heard a groan that sounded painful by my side, so I looked up at him, what I didn't expect was the red liquid flowing from where he clutched his arm.“When I said keep your hands off her, I didn't exclude you, and I don't repeat myself the second time.” The don said while pointing a gun his face hardened while his grey eyes soured as they narrowed down into sharp thin daggers directed at the Auctioneer making me realise that he had just shot him for helping me up.“Baby doll, are you alright?” He looked at me with his steely grey eyes as his face softened and the anger lingering in his silver orbs dispersed making me shiver at how fast his face switched.He walked to the podium majestically and gracefully with his head held high and ignored the Auctioneer who was being attended to by his bodyguards.“You should know how possessive demons are with their properties, you should know better than to lay your filthy hands on my property.” He snarled at the Auctioneer and I could swear on my life that the guy peed on his body, even the burly bodyguards shivered.He stood me up while helping me up to my feet, I thought that was all he was going to do till he swept me off my feet and carried my bridal style making my cheeks look as if it was smeared with red ink so I hid my face by placing my head on his chest so I could avoid the looks the mafia lords’ wives were giving which could send me six feet under the ground.We got outside and inhaled the fresh cool breeze, I tried wiggling myself out of the Demon’s hands but all I got was a growl and I dared not to look at his face.“Try doing that again and see if I will hesitate to drop you on the ground.” His cold voice which I was starting to get used to warned making me stay still, I couldn't tell if it was from the coolbreeze or from his voice that made me shiver but I made sure I stood still while he placed me in the car entering after I did.“Is it just me or this Don is bipolar? A few minutes ago, he was calling me baby girl and shooting someone just for touching me. NowHe is threatening to drop me on the ground.” I asked myself internally but decided not to think too much about it, since I felt like everything he did there was just a pretense. To show that he is better off than the rest of the mafia Lords present at the auction party.“The mansion.” He commanded, I whipped my head to the front trying to look for who he was talking to, but I was answered when the SUV roared to life, I looked back and noticed three more other SUVs flanking the side of the car we were in.“Thomas, if you mess with my shipment, you will be delivered to your family in a body bag. You know I don't make empty threats.” He spoke to the person on the other side of the phone making me whimper and scurry away further from him but there's limited space in the car.“What do you expect from a mafia lord? The Don of the Demons at that?” I asked myself.“We are here Don.” The driver informed making my breath hitch at what he had in mind to do, I tried not to think about how my life was going to end there but channelled my thinking to when my father would come and get me, according to his promise.Immediately he said that, I looked forward and saw a grand mansion surrounded by garden and trees, it took us a while before getting to the mansion that has its exterior adorned with intricate stonework giving it an air of elegance and power, probably because they are in the mafia and they need to buy more time for them to be notified before the enemies could infiltrate.“Will you come down or do you want to remain in the car? Or you are expecting me to carry you the same way I did?” His voice interrupted me.“Sorry, you didn't ask me to come down,” I muttered with a tiny voice that I never knew existed.“When you’re done gawking, meet me in the mansion, we have some rules to discuss.” His cold voice interrupted my sightseeing session making me hurry up to catch up with him, hoping I had not offended him.As we stepped onto the balcony, I felt like I was experiencing another world in general because of the guards situated at the entrance, I've never seen so many weapons like that in my whole life, the moment you set your eyes on them, you will know better than to infiltrate the house, The Don shoved his face in a camera, after scanning, the door opened with a click.“Wow.” I marvelled at the interior of the house, Grand expensive chandeliers that I'd never seen before hung up the ceiling, the interior was all black and white and bare without any cosy and Homey feeling attached to it.I whipped my head in his direction to see that he was already looking at me with his steely grey eyes that narrowed into slits of arrows.“Are you a virgin?” His voice filtered into my ears making my spine stiffen.“Should I lie to him? What if I tell him the truth and he takes it to his advantage by sleeping with me now? I’m not ready.” I raged an internal battle trying to think what I could do about it. “What’s the point of doing that, when you know that whether you like it or not, you will still be slept with forcefully.” My subconscious replied me.“Is it me or do I notice that you have hearing problems?” He pointed out stylishly asking if I didn’t need a hearing aid.“Yes, I am,” I whispered afraid of what would come next.“You are a what? ” he repeated while folding his muscular arms making me notice how bulgy his muscles were inside the black shirt he was putting on.“Yes, I am a virgin.” I elaborated making him suck a breath in.“Hmm, I hope you’re not deceiving me. If I find out that you are lying to me, I won’t hesitate to blow up your brains with my little monster.” He warned while bringing out his gun, I looked closely at it and noticed his name engraved on the gun,“Nice to meet you, I’m Hunter Alaric Nicklaus, The don of the Demon Mafia, I suppose you are gentle right? I don't mind putting you in your place with my gun.” He introduced himself while stretching his hands to me for a handshake.“Now, sit. There are some rules you need to follow. My mansion, my rules, is that clear little bride?” He questioned./Hunter’s POV/“Dad, while I was rummaging my office to search for the alliances with some other mafia, I noticed one old file that might be yours.” I shoved the old file with a black cover and gold carvings, I hadn't seen something like that before. “Hunter, have you gone through it?” He questioned me, knowing fully well that I have but still trying to play the stunts he used to play on us while I was small.“Yes.” I gritted out, he knew the contents inside should have been given to me for a very long time or at least, be notified about it.“I think she should be almost eighteen, it says you get full access to the wealth and all once she clocks eighteen.” He informed me as if I wasn't aware of what it said.“So what's stopping me from getting her? Did you ever plan on telling me about it, if I hadn't asked you?” I looked at my father heatedly knowing how much this could act to my name.“Yeah, I was going to tell you but I'm not sure You are prepared for the condition that comes with
/Penelope's POV/“Nice to meet you, I’m Hunter Alaric Nicklaus, The don of the Demon Mafia, I suppose you are gentle right? I don't mind putting you in your place with my gun.” He introduced himself while stretching his hands to me for a handshake.“Now, sit. There are some rules you need to follow. My mansion, my rules, is that clear little bride?” He questioned leaving me no option but to bob my head.“Use your words.” He yelled making me jump from how frightened he sounded.“Yes,” I whispered.“Yes, what?” He slammed the table while glaring hard at me and looking at me as if he wouldn't think twice before ending my life If I didn't answer him this instant.“Yes sir.” I quickly corrected myself.“Don't let me remind you again, you will address me as Sir or Master even if you are my little bride.” He repeated that word making me squint my eyes.“ Yes sir,” I answered him and tried not to think too much about the title he gave me, I don't know who in his right senses calls someone who
/Penelope’s POV/“Knock knock.” The bang on the door to the room interrupted me making me whimper at the possible return of the devil.I froze, I couldn't move because how was I supposed to dress to go and open the door for him, I didn't want to go there with just a towel wrapped around me, I didn't want the devil to think I was seducing him, but as the banging of the door got louder and impatient, I had no other option than to go through with it.I opened the door with my trembling hands while I looked down, afraid to meet his gaze and be yelled at, but the flowery voice I heard forcefully made me look up because I knew the devil doesn't talk like that.“Hi, sweetheart. I noticed you wouldn't have any clothes to sleep in for now, so I brought you something you can manage.” The owner of the flowery voice stretched her hands out, and I couldn't help but fix my gaze on her, wondering if she was suffering the same fate as I was.Her light blue eyes looked so calm, for a moment, I thought
/Penelope's POV/“Fuck is this blood?” He asked while looking down and immediately he confirmed, he stood up and made his way out of the room, leaving me bare, bloodied and heartbroken.I could not sleep all through, all I was thinking about was the pain between my thigh, and how sore I was. I know I should probably go and take a warm bath but I'm dreading to stand up, I itched to close the door not that I would be safe from the devil, but at least I would get to decide when to run when I see him.I have never felt so violated in my entire seventeen life, all I wanted to do was scrub all his hand prints from my body, I knew I should not blame him because he certainly did not spend 50 million dollars to look at how beautiful my face was, this was why he bought me. Rule number one, be at his service every time.I've never hated someone the way I hate this man right now, the rumours I heard at the auction party were right, I should have moved in front of the bullet. At least, I would not
/Hunter’s POV/“What the fuck did I almost do? I came so close to raping her. Fuck, how did I get myself in this shit.” I groaned while remembering the occurrence that almost cost me my dignity, I know I'm cruel and heartless but I don't rape girls, I have too many girls dying to be on my fucklist than to force my cock down a pussy.When she told me she was a virgin, I doubted her because she certainly did not look like one and it's very rare for you to see an eighteen-year-old that is a virgin, I was fucked all through yesterday night, I could not sleep and I'm not the one to apologize. I would lie if I said the sight of her blood coated on my hardness didn't make me almost lose control and fuck her mercilessly but I would rather do that when she begs.“So you think leaving her was the best thing you could have done? After shoving your cock into her pink-shaven pussy that managed to glisten without light? You started it, you should have finished it. You're not the one to do things ha
/Penelope's POV/“You better start explaining what the fuck made you pull that stunt.” He raged, I could see the storm brewing in his orbs, I looked down immediately in fear of being drowned in the tornado that was brewing in his orbs.“Cat got your tongue? You were so confident that you would end your life and end with me 50 million dollars?” He yelled making me cower back and there was nothing I wished than being swallowed by the ground I was sitting on.“Penelope, why did you not think of this?? You should have weighed your what-ifs options before acting rashly.” I scolded myself while fidgeting.“We will talk about it later, or do we even need to talk about it? I'm sure you will not pull up this kind of stunt again because this should be a lesson that whatever you do or try to do, I will always be one step ahead.” He warned sternly before his phone interrupted.“Yeah, the second room on the second floor.”He answered while glaring and shooting daggers at me, I could feel his gaze
/Hunter’s POV/“Behave yourself, we will be attending a mafia ball in two days. Get your shit together or I would go through with my threat.” I warned her, I'm very sure she knew the threat I was talking about, I would threaten her parents' lives just to get her that do whatever I wanted her to do. The day is still so young, but that curly red-haired devil had taken all the time I was supposed to go gun blazing on the Scorpion, nevertheless, I decided to start my day by checking the footage of the deck.“Liam, my shipment got snatched yesterday, those motherfucking miserable scorpions had the effrontery to hijack my shipments and kill two of my men. I've been trying to reach Parker, tell him to pull up all the information about Scorpions and their shipment.” I commanded my Second-in-command while pacing around the office situated in my house.“Those fucking scorpions, they are growing more bold these days. I wonder why, what is your Plan Don? Do you want us to hijack their shipment a
/Penelope’s POV/Two days passed in a blur, I’ve been spitting out the antidepressants, I will deal with my shit myself not with the help of drugs, I was given a phone yesterday, I know I should be generous and be free to do whatever I want with it but I’m very sure the activities on the phone are being monitored by that jerk.“Knock knock.” I heard a bang on my door, I looked at the large black wall clock that stood opposite the bed, it was just 2:00 pm, I didn’t think it was time for the ball yet.“Who is there?” I called out while putting on my robe on the silky nightwear. I opened the door to about four ladies lined up and dressed in a uniform making me slam the door back, but a black pointed heels stood in between the door and the doorframe.“I’m sure you have the wrong room. Go further, there are rooms there with occupants on this floor.” I chuckled nervously, wanting nothing more than to send these people away.“Hi Miss Penelope, we don’t have the wrong room, we were instructe
