against her will

"Let me go!!" Alexa could be heard screaming, as the men dragged her out of the alley.

Just by the side of the road, the Mercedes Benz was parked, waiting.

Her abductors were wearing masks, making it difficult for her to see their faces.

Her phone kept buzzing in her pants. Olivia wasn't giving up.

"She kept screaming and clawing at their flesh, but they didn't budge.

The street was cold and quiet, and the few cars on the road didn't seem to notice her dilemma.

They tied her up and threw her into the back seat. Luckily they didn't blindfold her eyes, so she was able to see them.

"Where are you guys taking me?" Alexa asked in a shaky voice.

They ignored her completely as if she wasn't in the vehicle. She kept struggling, kicking her legs in the air.

One of the body guards gently placed a handkerchief over Alexa's nose .

Then everything started becoming blur. Alexa's eyes closed into a deep slumber.

Gabrielle sat down, watching the man being tortured.

He had men that counted the packs of cocaine, that was to be distributed to his numerous customers.

Each one weighed up to a hundred kilograms, and this man was caught stealing one.

The man collapsed on the ground, as Antonio stroke one more blow on his bloody skull.

Samuel walked in, startled at the bloody sight. He hesitated, before walking over to where Antonio was sitted.

"Ssir we've captured the girl." Samuel stammered, bowing his head.

Gabrielle clicked his fingers, and a suit case filled with new dollar notes was brought to him.

As soon as Samuel saw the money, his eyes lit up in disbelief.

"I'm fulfilling the promise I made to you for a job well done." Gabrielle smirked, tapping his fingers on the suit case.

Samuel's eyes widened, not believing what he was seeing.

"This should be between us." Gabrielle whispered, waving Samuel away.

"Sir I'm afraid this culprit would not make it if we continue torturing him." Antonio reported, with sweat running down his face.

"What do I care?" Antonio scoffed, lighting a cigarette.

"Sir at this point I think we should let him go. It'll be better to keep him from under our noses." Antonio suggested.

Gabrielle snarled. He wanted to show this motherfucker who the boss is, and to show his other men will happen to them, if they dare betrayed him in this manner.

"Get him out of my sight." Gabrielle thundered.

The men scurried away, dragging the battered man out of the room.

Gabrielle smiled at the thought of the mysterious girl in his home.

She was brought in asleep, and he had ordered that she be taken to the room beside his room.

It was time for formal introduction.

************************************

Alexa woke up the next morning, amazed at where she was. The room was very beautiful, fully air conditioned, and smelled like lavender.

She remembered what had happened the night before, and stood up sharply. Her head felt heavy, and her lips were chapped.

An elderly woman, probably the house keeper walked in, her face beaming with smiles.

"Good morning miss. Your bath is ready, and the master requests that you join him for breakfast." She declared, opening the window and revealing the most beautiful scenery Alexa had ever seen.

"Who are you and where am I?" Alexa asked, glaring at the woman.

"I'm Ava the house keeper, and you're in master Gabrielle's home." She chimed.

"Who is master Gabrielle? And what does he want with me?" Alexa kept asking, confused.

"Only the master has the answer to all your questions. For now, your bath is warm and running." Ava stuttered.

"Tell your master that I'm not having breakfast with him, and he should tell me what he wants with me." Alexa shrieked.

Ava hurried out of the bedroom, locking the door. Alexa tried to open the door, but it was locked from the outside.

She felt like screaming her lungs out. Why was her abductor giving her such special treatment?

Suddenly she remembered she had her phone in her pocket. She was going to call Olivia.

After several failed attempts to reach Olivia, Alexa gave up.

She glanced at the dress Ava brought in. It was exquisite, and the pearl necklace was stunning.

What was going on?

Alexa was still examining the dress, when Gabrielle flung the door open.

Alexa shook with fear, surprised at the figure standing before her.

He was heavily built, and his muscles flaunted his masculine energy. His dark thick hair were cut in a low taper fade. His eyes, blue, familiar.

She had seen those eyes somewhere. Those eyes that expressed the calmness of a sea after a great turbulence.

"I asked for you to have dinner with me and you declined?" Gabrielle asked softly, quite unlike him.

"Who are you?" Alexa hissed, eyeing him from head to toe.

"You don't need to know who I am." Gabrielle admitted, hands akimbo.

"Then you shouldn't bother asking me to join you for dinner. Besides you kidnapped me and suddenly you're acting all lovey dovey?" Alexa spat.

"Hmm a sly one right there." Gabrielle chuckled.

"I'm at my best behavior now miss."

"Don't call me miss. My name is Alexa, and you have denied me my basic rights!" Alexa yelled.

Gabrielle was impressed. She was a really difficult girl, and he was going to clip her wings.

"You're very interesting Alexa" Gabrielle hinted, folding his arms.

"Oh now you see me as a plaything? Perhaps a puppet for your show?" Alexa hissed.

Gabrielle smiled, watching her pour out her frustration. She looked cute when angry. Her yells and anger did nothing to Gabrielle, instead he wanted her to continue venting.

"Meet me downstairs for breakfast in one hour." Gabrielle growled, looking serious now.

"To hell with you and your breakfast." Alexa spat.

A v found it's way in-between Gabrielle's brows, startled at her outburst. No one had ever spoken to him like this before.

"If you don't have breakfast with me in less than one hour, then you won't eat at all in this house." Gabrielle roared, storming out of the room.
