Chapter 4

"Ahhhhh" Katiya screamed from her slumber when she felt ice-cold water on her face. 

She sat up abruptly and looked at Alexia , holding the plastic filled with the ice water she poured on her. "Mother?" Katiya called out weakly but Alexia lashed out at her. 

"I am not your mother!" Alexia roared. "Thud, thud, thud," a group of bags landed beside her and she turned her head in surprise. 

"Take your things and leave!" Alexia ordered and threw a ticket at her, alongside cash, "Here, now take this and leave! I want you out of Oscaria tonight Katiya. That's a ticket to Hillcrest. From today onwards, you are dead to us. Go there and start your slutty life afresh." She said, angry. 

Katiya crawled up to her, held her feet, and begged, "Please ma, I have nowhere else to go. Please don't send me out," she begged, crying. 

Disgusted by her touch, Alexia kicked her again and sent her a few meters away. She landed on the wet floor and hit her back on the edge of the pavement which made her hiss in pain. 

Alexia paid her no attention and strolled inside without any care in the world. Luke came outside and carried her bags into the car. "I'll be dropping you at the bus station. We have to leave now," he said to the crying lady with no emotion whatsoever. 

Katiya stood up and shook her head, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree now does it?” She limped in pain to the car and sat in the backseat sobbing throughout the journey. She never thought her life would be reduced to nothingness in such a short period. 

After a while of tears, she opened her bags and brought out a new pair of clothes. She was still dressed in the gown she wore to the godforsaken engagement and now she was drenched. She carefully removed her clothes, leaving only her underwear and then she wore some comfortable baggy clothes not minding the lusty gaze of Luke who constantly stared at her. 

They arrived at the station and Katiya got down and carried her bags. Luke's cold attitude softened and then he pulled her in, "I love you, Kat. If you need me, I'm just a phone call away." He said and then he let her go. 

She struggled to balance herself but after a few tries, she was able to carry her luggage and limped towards the train heading to Hillcrest. 

Back in the hotel room, Alexander Brown woke up when he felt the space next to him empty. "Katiya?" He called out, but he got no response. 

He raised his head and scanned the room and all her things were gone, the only things left were her sweet smell and the stained sheets that reminded him of the blissful night they had. 

"Fuck," he cursed and laughed. Who would have thought a young girl would be able to tame the mighty Alexander Brown? He sighed and stared at the ceiling, reliving the night. 

The way she moaned and screamed while he fucked her made him purr in delight and his member rose again from the fantasy. 

He stood up from the bed with a smile and grabbed his phone and placed a phone call to one of his men. 

"Send me every information about the girl I was with last night. Her name is Katiya." He ordered and hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

He was the cold and stone-hearted CEO of BROWN GROUPS. No one dared to question him or treat him like a doormat without getting punished but Katiya took her things and left after one night of satisfaction. He was going to do everything in his power to get her back.

He walked towards the bathroom with his boner and took a cold bath to calm his nerves so he could focus on work and other important activities that brought him to Oscaria. 

After his bath, he quickly checked his phone and read the sms that dropped while he was in the shower. His face darkened as he read the contents of the sms. 

"We are unable to find the lady Katiya. We also tried checking the security footage but it was cleared." The message read and Alexander got angry and he placed a call to him immediately.

"FIND HER!!! IF YOU CAN'T FIND HER, FORGET ABOUT YOUR JOB AND EVER COMING BACK TO HILLCREST!" He ordered and hung up.

Katiya arrived in Hillcrest around 8 pm, it was a 12-hour ride and she used the time to rest and recuperate a little. Her tummy rumbled due to hunger since she never ate anything ever since she woke up. 

As she walked out to the streets of Neuro, one of the biggest cities in Hillcrest, she noticed the streets were deserted. She was the only one walking on the road, no cars or people were walking. 

It gave her an eerie feeling so she put in more effort to walk faster to find a hotel but the pain in her body didn't let her. All she could do was limp as fast as she could. 

"Ahh," Katiya screamed as she was pushed. She was suddenly surrounded by a group of men and they took her bags from her, kicking her to the ground. 

"Please don't do anything to me," she begged the men and they laughed at her hysterically. One of them forcefully took her handbag and she fell to the floor from the impact of the force asserted. 

They rummaged through her bag and saw bills of cash in it. She looked up and saw the man smiling because of the money, "Luke must have put it there," she thought to herself and thanked him. For the first time, he helped her in a dire situation. 

Seeing the men happy for the money, she quickly bent down and gave them the rest of her cash, "Here take them, please just let me go. You can take all my money and jewelry. Just let me be." She begged the thieves and they stretched their hands and she gave it all to them.

A few of the men were satisfied with the money and jewelry obtained but others weren't. They kept staring at her body, their eyes raking her assets. They signaled to themselves and after agreeing, one of them carried her and she screamed.

"Ahhhh, let me go!!!" She screamed and punched the man but her actions had no effect on him. They carried her to a lonely corner and dropped her on the cold floor.

They all stood back and stepped aside for the gang leader. He walked forward and looked at her with lust, his member already hard for her. He smiled wickedly as he unbuckled his belt and his trousers fell to the ground revealing his hard cock poking through his underwear.
