Marry Me!

"H-Har-Hailey Lynn?" the girl repeated those words when the deadly fear consumed her. 

Aiken Lynn was an underworld man, who was known for his shady business and ruthless way of killing enemies. Day by day, the news used to flash on the television, either due to his runaway or.. his enemies being killed. 

H-How.. can.. a normal person like her.. 

"You must be.. mistaken, Mister. I-I don't know anyone like him! You are searching for the wrong person!" 

"We know who we captured, Miss. Our information is absolutely correct and... I can see how true it is.." the man replied while eying the face of the girl under the dim light. 

"That Aiken was your father who is now presumed to be dead. God, he was such a bastard. I'm sure he will not be receiving heaven anytime soon." The words were taunting but Hailey didn't care. 

She glared at him with those  pitch brown eyes, anger boiling inside her veins. "I-I.. know who my father Was! He-he... was an engineer and died... at the construction site!" Hailey told in a rush. 

"Engineer? Your mother's husband whom you are talking about?" The man laughed his stomach out and looked at everyone present in the room.

"Did you hear the little girl? She says that Davidson is her father?"

"Boss, it seems she's too innocent." Hailey heard a rough and old voice who was laughing along with their boss. 

"Indeed." the young man once again looked at Hailey with a  mocking smile tracing his lips, "Innocent... and unknown. Lost." 

"I'm telling you the truth!!! Believe me!" 

"If that's the truth you are saying, Miss Davidson, why did you mother run away after hearing that Aiken died?"

"R-run.. away?" Expressions blurred on Harley's face. There was a slight headache rushing in her brain when she recalled the early events. 

'S-she.. was packing up. her bags. Going. to meet her sister..' Everything was a lie? She was stunned beyond core. Horrified with the turn of events when realization of betrayal hit her. 

The young man only noticed the changing of sentiments on Hailey's face. Amusement graced his mind but it didn't stop him from saying, "Whatever you are thinking, baby girl. It's all right. You are abandoned by your mother to save herself." 

"h-How.. can. she.. " 

"Because no one wants to be entangled with people like us." he said and finally, he bent down on the arm chair, using his one hand to uplift her face to stare at his.

Those eyes... were heaven, he felt. 

The eye contact lasted more than a minute with absolute silence. While one was admiring the other face which Lynn created, another was in fact in turmoil of emotions.

"Unfortunately, you are stuck in this game of fire because of your birth." the man said while holding her chin tightly. 

A sudden urge to capture her and mark as his was surrounding his heart but he stopped in his intentions. 

"B-But... who... are.. you?" Hailey couldn't help but ask, with uncertainty written all over her face.

The stare was now out of curiousity mixed with fear and terror, even though appalled with the turn of circumstances. Everything was new to her but it somehow made sense. 

All those words.. were a new world shown to her. But her heart dropped on hearing his next words.

The young man smiled yet Hailey didn't feel that it was a nice one. It was a smirk.. 

"You are being held captive by Zayn Waxon, in my den." Zayn finally confused and watched the girl's eyes grow in surprise. She was already fumbling with fear and now, worry wrapped on that face. 

"Z-zyann.." 

"Yes, you heard it right. Heard it before?" Zayn asked in a mocking tone, and Hailey gulped back. 'Can I deny?' 

He was no less than Aiken Lynn. The second mafia clan, cops chasing them all around. 

And here she was facing them directly. 

Yet keeping everything aside, Hailey took a deep breath and under the light, faced him again, "Mr. Wakon, let me go from here." 

"I don't have anything. I have never met this.. Aiken and I can't give you anything." 

"Oh sweetheart, of course you can." Zayn commented. "Right now you don't know your worth." 

"W-what.. worth?" Hailey asked, being alarmed from his words. 

"Well well, the only illegitimate daughter of that bastard. Do you know what it means?" Zayn doesn't beat around the bush anymore. 

He pushed his hands in his pocket, started walking in a circle around her chair. Meanwhile, Hailey's heart accelerated when she asked, "What do you want from me, Zayn?" 

"Now comes the real talk." Zayn stopped in front of her. She had raised her eyes, looking at him under the light while he lowered his face to glance at her. 

"You have to marry me, legally as Hailey Lynn."
