Samantha Downs ~

“I give the orders around here and you’re not going anywhere until I say so and I don't intend on saying so… at least not right now!” he added using his right hand to raise my chin so my eyes met with his burning brown orbs.

“Let go of me!” I roared taking my chin off his grip. “You have no right to keep me here. You have no right to have even abducted me and brought me here in the first place.”

“Gentlemen, look at what you’ve done to her.” he said with a rising intonation expressing anger totally snubbing me.

He advanced forward and punched the two men by Sam;s side both in the gut one after the other and they released me from their grip howling in pain. This made Sam realise that the man before her is stronger than he looks.

“You shouldn’t handle a lady so poorly. Never. Especially one that I need so much.” he said darting eyes red with anger at the two men who were now behind me.

“My apologies! It would never repeat itself again.” they both cried on their knees.

Whoever this man is, he must be very strong and powerful. I can’t imagine that men as brawny as these two are begging for his forgiveness on their knees when they could just do same or even worse to him for what he did to them.

To be honest, the man doesn’t seem so bad. What am I thinking? He’s horrible. His aura alone gives me the chills but I have to admit it that some things he said to the other men makes me have the impression that he's probably not so bad.

What confuses me is his business with me? I don’t know who he is and I don’t want to but whatever he needs me for, I’m sure as fuck out of it.

Being free from their grip, the thought to make a run for it came in but I reasoned that might as well be pointless seeing how much power he commands around here.

“Don’t you dare apologize to me.” he said before he turned to me and pointed at my arms bruised from their inhumane grip. “Apologize to her.” he added making me appalled as their gaze let him and went to me.

“I am sorry." "It would never repeat itself again. What I did to your arm was rude.” They both said with so much concern in their eyes.

“Do you forgive them? If you don’t you can just tell me and I’ll kill them both for hurting you.” the man said turning to me with a gun out of his pocket now in his firm hand.

“Y.. Ye.. Yes! You can’t just kill them otherwise?” I said trying to find my words. “It’s not like it’s a big deal?”

“I need you to get something very important to me so from now on, everything that happens to you, is a big deal to me. I mean every word.”

Like seriously? Kill them if I don’t forgive them? Is he insane and what does he mean by he needs me to get something very important to him?

“Actually, I can, when I command this much power but that shouldn’t concern you. What should, is the deal you’re going to make with me.” the man said pointing the gun at me with a finger on the trigger.

“Don’t seem so scared. It’s very easy. You do as I say, get what I need you to then you and of course, your precious mom and dad get to live.”

“You abducted them too?!?” I asked as the building fear became replaced with anger and worry.

“Well, I won’t say ‘abducted’ but rather, ‘invited’. Just like you, my dear, I ‘invited’ them over for a little chit chat. Not here though, somewhere else. Like I said, do what I want and I give you my word, no harm would come to either of them.” he replied putting the gun down as he walked closer.

“How can I count on your ‘word’?”

“You can’t do anything if I do otherwise, now can you?” he said still walking closer making me walk backwards. “You’ll just have to well… trust me.” he added letting out a devious smile as he halted.

“Gentlemen, show this lady to the meeting room.” he turned facing the two men I assume are one of his ‘henchmen’. “Be! Gentle!”

The two men who had been on their knees the entire time got up and stood beside me. One on either side.

“This way,” the stranger said motioning me towards a door with his hand pointed at it.

I walked with them to the door and when I opened it, there was a room at the other side. Luxurious and big. There is a long table inside and by its looks, it can take no more than ten individuals with uniquely bigger chairs than the rest placed at the two opposite breadths.

I walked to the table and then, the two men followed.

I could see a lot of files on both parts of the breadths as I walked closer to the table. I am indeed curious as to what ‘deal’ he wants to make with me. A deal that makes him threaten to kill me and my parents if I don’t concur with the deal.

Why does he think that I'll make a deal with a total stranger?

“Have a seat opposite the red-labeled chair.” “That one’s mine!” the man said walking into the room pulling me out of my thoughts.

I obeyed and went to the chair directly opposite his and sat down. He sat down on his and for some minutes looked straight at me with his lower lip resting on his right hand and fingers from his left hand tapping the table preventing total silence.

He finally picked up a file and stared his eyes into it.

“You are Samantha Downs. Born on the 4th of July, 1997. You are 23 years of age. Studied elementary school at Lavigur Elementary School, New York and proceeded to high school, years later.”

 “A straight B’s and C’s student in high school having graduated, a member of the 2015 graduating class and moved on to college at FixBridge University same New York to study Clothing and Textile Economics. Finished from college in 2020 and after a few months, applied for the position of a body model at Dimitri’s collections. The young fool who runs the firm gave you the contract and you signed in earnest.” “According to that fucking contract, you are expected to begin work as an official body model under Dimitri’s collections on the 25th of May, 2020.” “Am I right??”

Wow

I don’t even know what to say.

Everything he said has truth in them but how does he know so much about me. My past, present and I bet a bit of my future plans? How? And why?

“You don’t need to answer that Sam. I know I’m right. I have a lot of accurate info about you. I just decided to brush over those.” he added gathering the files spread infront of him into one collection.

“Who are you?” I asked with a high tone that made sure he was able to hear me.

“Pardon my manners miss Sam.” the man said before getting on his feet. “In brief, this young man before you is known by many names but the actual name is Jaden Smith. A ruthless, wealthy, powerful, strong and an influential man. The leader of a mafia gang known as THE FREE FIRE.” he said using both hands to run from his neck to his waist as he spoke.

“Now that you know me and I definitely know who you are, let’s get down to business. The whole reason why you’re here.”

"And what the hell is that?"
