STRIP

CHAPTER 5

His bulge just rose, which was so shocking to him that he took his eyes away from it and went back into the bathroom. He stared at his reflection in the mirror, shock still evident on his face. This was something that had never happened in his life. Ever since he became an adult, his bulge never rose. At some point, he actually thought that he was having some sort of ED (Erectile Dysfunction), but he never cared since it was to his advantage. At least he could get his revenge without worrying about any woman.

But today, just staring at the little cat awoke his monster, a desire within him. His mind raced as he recalled her figure. She had seduced him without even trying. He had never been aroused before, and he didn't feel sexually attracted to women. A woman could stand naked right in front of him, and he wouldn't be moved.

He looked cold, confused, and surprised at the same time, which was palpable as he had always believed himself immune to such acts. The thought was interrupted by a text that came to his phone directly from the godfather.

~The Malaysian men would like to buy the drugs today. Get ready.

He threw his phone aside after reading it, put on his clothes, and headed for the meeting room.

Snow asked her way around and finally found the maids' quarters. When she got there, she saw some girls who were also dressed like her. A woman in her late forties was talking to them about something she didn't quite understand.

Her presence became acknowledged in the room as everyone shifted their attention to her, murmuring amongst themselves while giving her hateful looks.

"It's been up to thirty minutes since I sent for you. You think this is your house, where you can do as you please?" Lady Clara scolded her. Snow had her face buried in the ground.

Snow's eyes showed a hint of apology in them. "I'm sorry, I had trouble locating this place."

"Keep it to yourself," Lady Clara said.

Lady Clara was the head chef, solely responsible for preparing Aurelio's meals.

"Join the other maids there. You guys will be responsible for serving the boss today," Lady Clara said.

Snow looked up with shock and fear in her eyes.

"Ma'am, am I going to be among?" She asked, wanting to be sure of what she heard. After what transpired between her and Aurelio, she didn't want to see him again.

"You don't just need glasses, you also need one for your ears too," Lady Clara said in a harsh tone, which caused Snow to shiver a bit.

"All of you, to the kitchen. And as from today, Snow, you'll be staying in the maids' quarters," Lady Clara said and walked away, with the maids following her.

"Don't worry about Lady Clara. That's just how she is," Juniper said to Snow, seeing she was still scared. Snow looked at her blinking cutely.

"You should get going. You wouldn't want her to yell at you again."

****MEETING ROOM****

The clan members were all present in the room as they listened to Aurelio, who spoke with an aura of authority in him.

"This looks like a simple exchange, so the people going are Storm, Melissa, and I, that's all. Mykel, you will watch us from here, just in case things go wrong," Aurelio concluded and stared at every single one of them, waiting to hear what they had to contribute. Since they had none, he left the room, while some of them started releasing the breath they were holding.

"He's so scary," Tessa chuckled.

****AURELIO'S VILLA****

Lady Clara came in with some of the maids, including Snow, who were pushing trolleys containing numerous delicacies. They all started setting it on the table. Snow wondered how someone would be able to finish all that. The room was empty, so she guessed he wasn't in. She was happy and wanted them to hurry up so they could leave the room before he comes back. But at that instant, he walked in, and all of them bowed their heads. Snow didn't know what they were doing, but not wanting to annoy the devil longer, she joined them. He walked to the table and sat down, his gaze fixated on Snow.

They resumed setting the table, and Snow couldn't help but feel scared under his gaze. She wondered why he was looking at her like that, her heart was already beating fast.

They had completed setting the table and finished tasting the whole meals when Lady Clara's voice tore down the silence.

"Boss, enjoy. Snow and Ramona, wait here until the boss is done, while the rest of you let's leave," Lady Clara said.

Aurelio's cold voice was heard.

"Ramona should leave as well."

They all started departing the room, one by one, leaving just Snow and Aurelio, who had only eaten a spoonful. She was fidgeting on her spot, as she could feel beads of sweat forming. She had her face buried in the ground the whole time and was inwardly praying for him to be done quickly so she could leave.

She didn't like how he was looking at her, and the clothes she was wearing made it worse. He only tore his gaze from her when he needed to scoop the food.

After what seemed like forever, he finally stood and went inside his room without sparing her any glance. She released the breath she didn't know she was holding as she saw the food, which he barely touched. She started packing up everything.

"Why is he always looking at me like that?" She thought, exiting the room.

Aurelio could feel the heat rising in him again. He still didn't get how she's able to do the almost impossible thing. He got his equipment, which he'd be needing for the mission, to distract him from the thought, but almost immediately, it came back to his head.

From her not-too-big boobs down to her belly button, the rose scent that emanated from her body, everything about her seemed to be turning him on.

"Am I lusting towards her?"

****A HIDEOUT****

The Malaysian men were already waiting for them when they arrived.

"Seperti yang saya dengar, kamu suka membuat seseorang menunggu (just like I've heard, you love keeping someone waiting)," The person said in his Malaysian language, as they got the money. Storm and Melissa got the drugs, while Aurelio was waiting for them on top of his bike, smoking as usual, also observing everywhere.

The exchange happened peacefully, and the Malaysian men left almost immediately.

"No bloodshed, too bad I was expecting some," Storm said dramatically.

"Be serious, boss is looking," Melissa whispered. Storm shifted his gaze to Aurelio.

"The both of you should head back to the clan," Aurelio drove off ignoring their conversation.

"Can't believe how someone can look so awesome," Melissa said dreamily, which got Storm looking.

****BLOOD MOON CARTEL****

Snow was cleaning Viola's room, unaware of whose room she was cleaning, when Viola walked in. Seeing Snow, her eyes etched with jealousy and hatred.

"So, the b!tch is now a maid," She mocked.

Snow kept quiet and continued cleaning the room.

"Oh, I don't see your savior Melissa around," Viola smirked devilishly, as she went to Snow and grabbed her hair, pulling it hard.

"Ahh, you're hurting me," Snow winced in pain, as tears escaped her eyes. She was trying to free herself, but she was definitely no match for Viola.

"Listen to me, you b!tch. I'm going to make sure you use your hands and kill yourself. Mark my words," She threatened, pulling her hair harder before releasing it.

Snow was already crying as a result of the pain. Viola went into the bathroom and came back with a bucket of water and poured it on the floor.

"I want this cleaned by the time I get back," She glared at Snow meanly and left the room, while Snow stood in her spot, still crying. But when she remembered the threats, she removed her glasses and cleaned her tears, wearing them back. She continued cleaning the room.

****10 PM, AURELIO'S VILLA****

Aurelio got back a while ago and had just sent a guard to call Snow to his room. Not until he confirms the new thing happening to him would his mind be at peace.

A soft knock landed on the door.

"Come in," Aurelio said from inside.

"Boss, she's here. Should I let her in?"

Aurelio nodded in reply. The guard left, and soon the door opened, and Snow walked in, already shaking. She had her head facing the ground, expecting to hear the reason the boss called her. When she didn't hear anything from him, she spoke up.

"S..sir, y...you cal...led f..or me?" She stuttered at each word, showing that she was very scared of him.

Aurelio stared at her with that usual blank expression on his face. He still couldn't believe that this little girl was capable of turning him on.

In his cold voice, he said, "STRIP."

Snow froze, thinking maybe she heard wrong, but not having the courage to ask him about it, not when her heart was trying to leave her ribcage. With trembling hands, she slowly started taking off her clothes, tears rolling down her cheeks, until she was completely naked in front of him. She started fiddling with her hands, as she was very shy in front of him, not that it's her first time being naked in front of someone, after all, Viola had done it. But she was feeling so embarrassed, not when she could feel his gaze boring holes in her body.

"Get on the bed and go on all fours," He said.

She stood still, expecting him to explain what he meant, but when she heard no words coming from him, still terrified, she asked.

"H..how do y..you mean s..sir?"
