Fear

Rachel Zoe White is an upper-handed worker who had been kidnapped from her hometown by these men, and now, she is being sold out. She had tried running away but it had not been successful because they caught her at any given opportunity. 

When she heard the man with a fifteen million offer for her head talk, she knew there was something in him that attracted her. He was handsome, had dark straight hair that cut across his nape, and the fact that she wanted to him more caused her to cover her eyes in pain. 

She was sold out to this man, so she belongs to him.

At twenty-three, she was being sold out to a man she doesn't know, the mere fact of her being given out was enough trauma. 

The cage opened and at once, the massive voice came in all at once. 

"Get down, you bitch," a hefty man shot as he pulled the lady down. 

Rachel was weak, she had no fighting abilities, and nothing she could do would make amendments for herself now. 

The moment she went down from the cage, her hands were still bound behind her back, and the energy that left her was too much, it made Adrian shift in his pants. The lady was a petite woman, she was about 5'5 meters and her gown was soaked in blood. 

Turning to Smith, he quickly said to him. 

"Pay the money, we are taking the lady with us," Adrian ordered him about. 

"Yes, Sir, I would do so immediately," he said firmly. 

When Smith paid the money, Adrian walked immediately towards the lady as he ordered the silly man close to her. 

"You can free her now, she is mine," he said in a nonchalant voice.  

Doing so, the pain from the chains caused Rachel to flinch, thus, causing Adrian to be worried. 

"Be careful, I don't want her getting injured more than she already is," he muttered out. 

Rachel's mouth dropped open, and then, she forced it to close when she didn't know what to say again. 

At last, the young man couldn't take the little wincing and pouting sounds the lady produced from her mouth, thus, she ended up saying, 

"Let me do it," Adrian said taking the key from the man and going ahead to open the lock.

 Doing so, he pushed it open and liberated the lady from the chains that bound her to pain. When he looked at her wrists, the flesh around it had started being ripped off, and that made him grit his teeth in anger. 

Adrian had the urge to fight this person, but damn! it was with so much reservation that the young man pulled the lady's arm in his own, forcing her to move. 

"Here, we go lady," the young man spat out as he pulled her out. 

Since she was free, Rachel now had to talk whatever she wanted, despite the fact that she wasn't sure who this man it. 

"Who are you, and where are you taking me to?" her small voice asked as they now cane out of the club, and the rain drizzled on her. 

Adrian expected the young lady would ask that question, and now, staring at her pout lips, they were so longing, but he shook his head lightly, refusing to get close to her. 

"Who am I doesn't matter right now, what about telling me the reason why you were being sold?" Adrian questioned raising his brows squarely at her. 

Rachel knew she was in for the duration with this man, but what she wanted was her freedom, to leave happily. 

"The reason why I was being sold out doesn't matter as well, now, if you would let me go, I would love that, thank you," Rachel spat out as she tried walking away. 

Her audacity was alluring, it made the young man staring at her from a sidelong distance. 

"Where the hell are you going to? in case you don't know yet, you belong to me, you are mine," he shot out so easily but the words were big and hard that they cut her deep into her heart. 

Rachel had tears that were now starting to flow about down her cheeks, she was sad, oh yes! she was, but the only difference is that she bit her lower lip firmly. 

 "I am yours, so what are you going to do with me then?" the young lady inquired lightly. 

Adrian shook his head from left to right as he thought of a possible reply to give her. When none was forthcoming, he just gazed up at Rachel saying the first thing that came to his mind. 

"I haven't decided what I want to do yet with you, lady, but I assure you, it is nothing for you to worry about because I will protect you as much as I can," he said sweetly. 

His words got her in confusion. 

"Protect me? I don't need your protection, I have the means to protect myself," she said as she tried making her point. 

Rachel was so lovely, her mannerism made Adrian glared at her with so much admiration and a calm silence too. 

"If you didn't need protection, then what is your crime for being looked in a cage and being auctioned for sale? or was that a silly prank you all were acting there?" Adrian asked as he flared his nostrils, starting to get angry. 

"No! of course not! I was being kidnapped and now, I am being given to you. I wish you didn't buy me, now, I am your problem, and yours to deal with," she said. 

The young man grits his teeth as he glared at the woman before him. He didn't want to pursue this conversation with this woman. 

"Let me take you to the motel room I was going to spend the evening in, I don't want you getting drenched from the rain, you might fall sick," the young man said. 

"Why should I follow you? I barely know..." Rachel started fumbling with her words but whatever she said was truncated when Adrian swept her off her feet and carried her effortlessly to the not so far building that had several equipped rooms in it, and one was going to be theirs. 

"You talk too much, lady, just shut up and let me handle you for the night," Adrian blurted out firmly as he walked away.
