Prologue

Ryan Smart opened his eyes only for a bright light to shine on his face, he briefly closed them and opened them a few seconds later when he heard the curtains being drawn.

There she was, the woman from the party, she wasn't dressed in the sexy dress she had on earlier but instead, she was wearing an all black tight jumpsuit that hugged her body to perfection,

Ryan was about to stand up but realized his hands and feet where tied, he observed the surrounding around him and discovered he was in what appeared to be a boat of some kind

“What is going on here?” He demanded, the woman came and sat comfortably in front of him

“Ryan Smith, age, 26, the son of David Smith and heir to the Smith cooperation, girlfriend, Grace Benson” Dora read from the file, Ryan was momentarily confused

“Am I being kidnapped?, My father will have your head for this!” He threatened,

He didn't know how long he had been out but if it was long enough for his bodyguards to notice his absence then he was certain his Father was already looking for him it was only a matter of time before he found him. The woman began to laugh mockingly

“i will really enjoy killing you Ryan Smith” Ryan felt the hairs on his back stand, surely she was only joking,

“Is it money you want?, I can pay you double what you will demand, just let me go, I have an important meeting to attend tomorrow morning” he told her, the woman stood up, peeping through the window before looking at her wrist watch

“Then I guess you have already missed that meeting, it's already 10am, you have been out 11 hours” she told him,

Ryan was relieved to hear that, he wasn't one to miss meetings especially this one, this meant that his father had noticed his absence and knew something had happened to him, he was sure a man hunt was already ongoing for him

“You shouldn't be too relieved, your father will find you but you won't be alive to see how he will react” the excitement Ryan felt instantly vanished

“What do you want from me?” He demanded to know, he had a feeling this wasn't about Money,

“What I want from you?” The woman paused as she looked away from him,

She let out a sign, “Do you have a mother?” She asked, judging by how she already knew so much about him, Ryan was certain she already knew the answer to that so he didn't respond

“Your mother might not be in your life but at least she is still alive and am certain you get to see her whenever you feel like. I didn't have that privilege. I didn't have someone to comb my hair or read me bed time stories when I was young, I didn't have someone to turn to when I started my first periods, I didn't have someone to talk to about a lot of things” the woman paused yet again with a sniff, 

“Am sorry to hear all that but how does you not having a mother have anything to do with killing me?” He asked, the woman turned to face him her face filled with tears, Ryan felt sorry for her for a moment,

“your father killed my mother when I was 2” she told him, Ryan laughed thinking she was joking but when he saw how serious she was, he kept quiet for a moment

“My father would never harm a person” he defended him, Sure his father was many things but he wasn't a killer

“Right… so you mean I have been trained to capture and kill you because of a lie?” The woman asked with a scoff

“This must be a misunderstanding, am telling you, my father can never kill anyone” he insisted, The woman laughed sitting in front of him again

“I have waited for this day for so long, you have no idea how long and I should asure you, nothing you say or do will make me enjoy this any less” she said with a smirk. 

“Who are you?” He finally asked after a moment of silence

“i am the Don's Daughter” the woman said. A wave of fear overcame Ryan as he realized the seriousness of the situation. He knew who the Don was, everyone did. He was the world's most sorted out criminal,

His father had some history with him, growing up, he watched how his father hired the best detectives and men to capture the Don but he never found him,

He had never tried to find out why his father wanted to find him so desperately but now he wished he had

“The Don has a daughter?” He asked, this was new news to him and probably anyone who knew about the Don.

“You are looking at her” the woman said proudly. Ryan began to wonder what to do, if his father had spent decades looking for the Don without any success then chances of him making it out of this alive where very slim

“Whatever happened between my father and your family, I had nothing to do with it” he said, the woman smiled

“I know but wouldn't be fun killing your father because he won't get to experience the pain my father and I felt after he killed my mother so the best way is to kill you, Only then will he understand what he made us go through” Ryan knew there was no way easy out of this, he needed to find a way to save himself as he realized no one was going to save him

“Fine. Where are you taking me?” He asked, 

“My father wants to watch you die. As much as I would want to do it right here right now, he wants to see life drain out of you and make your father watch” Ryan felt goosebumps all over him, he cleared his throat and took time to look at the woman,

Every human had a weakness, he began to wonder what hers could be. He continued to look at her taking in her appearance, the woman had short black hair, she was tall and skinny in a good way,

Her eyes where blue like the morning sky, Ryan realized he had never seen such beautiful eyes before, she had a little pointed nose, he noticed a few brown flickers. The woman was extremely attractive, that he couldn't deny and she had this confidence that had made him approach her at his party, it was what draw Him to her

“Why are you looking at me like that?” The woman seemed uncomfortable as her face hit up, she looked away from him, it was at that insist that Ryan realized exactly what to do if he wanted to save himself….
