Leila and Romeo soon arrived at the bar, it was night time but the bar was still buzzing with activities. Leila glared around— watching the whole activities. The strip dancers— entertaining the men, the alcohol smell and everything, including the music. She was beginning to feel uncomfortable as it all reminded her about her life at the bar.They both took their seats and Romeo proposed to go get their drinks from the bar."What would you like?" He asked her."Wine? Vodka?" He suggested— even before she could say anything.Leila just nodded to his words while glaring around. She hoped that Dominick wasn't in the bar. She wanted to avoid his trouble. After Romeo returned with the drinks, Leila just took one glass and drank from it. Romeo didn't expect her next action when Leila began to vomit the cocktail she drank."What the heck is this?" She yelled, breathing heavily due to how she reacted to the taste of the drink."It's a cocktail" he answered briefly, his lips curved into an obv
From a few minutes, it became thirty minutes that Leila had danced for and she was yet to become exhausted. Her continuation made the men yearn for her the most.Meanwhile, in Dominick's room, he could hear the noises made from the bar and he asked Renee for an explanation.Renee entered after a few minutes of being summoned by his boss."What's causing the ruckus at the bar?" He asked, "I'm afraid I do not know that, boss. I'll just call the bar manager and ask" he said and excused himself to make the phone call. After a few minutes, Renee returned to report to Dominick about what he asked."According to the manager, a new stripper arrived at the club and she dances quite well. The men are amazed by her performance" Renee explained. On hearing that, Dominick jerked up instantly."Where is Leila?" He asked. "She should be in her room right now, I'll go check" Renee answered and was about to go out when Dominick stopped him."I'll go with you" Dominick proposed and followed him. As t
Two days passed and Leila was still locked up in her room. She wasn't able to sneak out, not anymore. Dominick didn't give her such a chance. There were maidens Inside her room in case she needed anything. There were also bodyguards outside her room and downstairs, wherever she had a window facing. In case she would want to climb down the building. Dominick could never forget Leila's first escape and how she climbed up a window and came outside through the air vent. It was still a surprise to him how fast she was able to do everything. But then, he was always ready for her. The next day was the day when the auction would take place and Shantelle had just arrived. An elegant woman with Auburn hair arrived at the airport with a few bodyguards holding her luggages and following behind her.

Staying in her room for almost three days nearly made Leila crazy. She stared coldly at the madeins in her room, they watched her intensely and weren't giving her any slight chance. They have been warned by Dominick not to allow Leila to do anything. Even though it was just allowing her to stand up. They didn't trust her. As Leila stood up from the bed to get the telephone, the maids quickly went to her."What do you want? We'll help you get it, ma'am" one of the maidens said politely but Leila took it personally. She grew angry over the fact that Dominick was treating her like a criminal. Leila glared at them, anger and rage filled her eyes as she did. She still tried to move near the telephone but they stopped her. Leila swung her hand angrily and it hit one of the maids. The rest of them came to hold her. "Madam please calm down" they pleaded with her but she didn't care, what Leila wanted was Dominick's attention. "I want to speak to Dominick, now!" Leila demanded— as they pulled
At 6 p.m. in the evening, Leila was being dressed up by the maidens. She could hardly concentrate as she wondered who it was that Dominick was taking her to meet. She also wondered if it was one of Dominick's tricks. Like the other time when he lured her out to the both of them.Leila couldn't get her mind off that day, it was then, she began to develop warm feelings towards Dominick. However, he seemed like he didn't want her anymore. The maidens were done with dressing her up and they led her out. As they reached downstairs, some bodyguards led her towards the direction of the restaurant. Leila could already Perceive that her hunch was right about Dominick. He wanted to surprise her with dinner and Maybe apologize for his behavior these days. Leila looked elegant in her butter colored long gown and it captivated the eyes of some men who watched her enter the restaurant. amongst those men— was Romeo, at a corner, slowly observing Dominick as he ate dinner with Shantelle. Romeo was st
Leila was inside the bathroom, washing the stains of wine off her dress, she was furious about Shantelle's actions towards her, Leila wanted to pay her back but she needed to make a perfect plan for it. She could tell that Dominick was into that Woman— even though she didn't know their relationship. From what she observed, Shantelle is the woman he would replace her with for tomorrow's mission. She wouldn't let him do such. Leila had just finished washing off the stains, it could barely come out of her dress but then, she had to go out. She didn't want to leave Dominick and that woman alone. As she placed her hand on the doorknob and pressed it down, the door opened and it made her step back. Leila almost fell but Romeo caught her quickly. He was the one who barged into her. Catching her breath after almost falling down, Leila held Romeo's shirt tight, closing her eyes shut in fear.As soon as she opened them, their faces came in contact. "Ali! What are you doing here?"

It was in the early hours of the next day when Dominick entered a dimly lit room, it was more like an underground basement.A man was tied to a chair in the middle of the room, his brown hair looked dirty and had lost its curls after being unkempt for a long time. His gray-coloured suit dripped wet as he had just been poured a cold bowl of water by one of Dominick's men. Dominick pushed a chair to his front and he took his seat, crossing his legs and facing him.Carlos' eyes were fully opened to see his tormentor, someone who used to be his closest friend. "D.. Dominick'' he stuttered, Seeing the looks on Dominick's face made him think that Dominick was intending to kill him at that moment. Carlos was frightened, he knew his friend so well and Dominick might kill him without hesitation. Except he had a use for him— only why he would prolong his life. Carlos had known Dominick for over eight years, they met when Dominick escaped his Mafia foster father. The man who raised him to be ru
Leila checked the time and it was just past five. The auction would begin by 8 p.m.She had already devised an escape plan for tonight. She wanted to attend the auction and help Dominick with his mission at all cost. She also wanted to prove to him that she could do better than Shantelle. Leila already felt intimidated that Dominick picked Shantelle over her. Leila thought of a plan to get rid of the maids inside the room. She knew that one she could pass through them, going through the guards wouldn't be hard for her. Leila soon stood up to go to the bathroom and they followed her quickly. "where are you off to?" They asked, surrounding her.Leila looked at them oddly, but deep down, she knew her plans would work. As they followed her, Leila suddenly stumbled and fell. One of the maids wanted to go call a guard but Leila stopped her."I'll be fine. Just take me to the bathroom " she requested. The maidens quickly agreed and helped her to the bathroom as she requested. One of them de
