It was cold outside now. It was freaking October after all. She knew she will need a jacket.She peeked into the study and found him working frantically on the laptop.He was looking hot. His beard was back and his black shirt was suitinghim.“What is it, sunshine?” He spoke without looking up or stopping between typing.“Ummm.

Author’s POVAslan was angry at her. For the past troublesome days, she had been with him like a shadow, helping him with everything, taking care of him, but she didn’t say a word. His mother shared her secrets with Elena but Elena kept mum. Why?Does she still not love him? If not, then why is she putting up such a good show of caring for him? Not like that it mattered. Because no matter what, she was going to be with him, whether she puts up drama, or she tries to run away. This time, there will be no turning back. He will cage her.On the other hand, in the Ladies' room, Elena tried to calm her breathing and came out as if nothing had happened. Derek’s words were teasing her.

I don’t want just your body, but your soul, your sighs, your gasps, your moans, and even your fear. It’s all mine.”And he took her lips in his for another passionate kiss. When Elena didn’t kiss him back, he cupped her jaw and her mouth opened. He plunged his tongue inside her mouth and ravished her like she was the water for a lost man in desert. His need made her kiss him back.He was unable to control himself. The shirt was constricting him. He tore it and the buttons flew across the shower stall. He got rid of it. He took Elena’s hands and placed them on his chest.Elena’s eyes wandered to the tattoo and the mark on his chest. He was once shot because of her stupidity. She could lose him. She looked up into his eyes, the endless blue oceans which were looking at her with so much love.She tilted her face and kissed his lips while feeling his h

The building they stopped in front of was huge and all glass.They entered and Aslan’s mood spoiled when he saw people eyeing Elena. He wanted to hide her somewhere. People were looking at her as if she was a mermaid, or an angel, they had never seen. Though she really was an angel but she was his. If only he could keep her only for his eyes.It was a party of another successful venture. Aslan had finally opened a casino.Elena looked at well-dressed people and how they were looking at them.“Why are they looking at us like that?” She asked him finally and saw that he was gritting his teeth. “What happened?” She asked again. She had developed a sixth sense and could feel it in his eyes, his hold, and the movement of his jaw that he was angry.“These are all vultures. They like to snatch piece by piece what belongs to others. Right now, they are thinking about you o
Author’s POVAslan knew he had lost. He knew that this time, she won’t forgive him. He was feeling like he was taking his last breath and she was the one, ready to cut the thread of his life.He was just looking at her. Her shoulders were dropped and she was breathing heavily. Tears were falling from her eyes too and it was something Aslan never wanted to be a reason of. But what could he do? He was an asshole before he met her, and yes, he had orchestrated the entire plan. He had insulted her by making sure that she was bet.Betted on a poker table!Yeah, That was so typical of Aslan.

Author’s POV“I lost everything on this poker table, didn’t I? Now I will win everything back. Mr. Aslan Parker. I bet myself and the prize is my freedom.”“No” A combined scream from everyone filled the room. How could she even say this? All of them had the same thought.Aslan sighed. “Elena, I know you are angry. You are not in your senses. Please don’t do this” Aslan spoke while he caressed her arms.“Yes, Elena, Don’t do this” It was Elle and Ian backed her.“Elena, don’t stoop as low as my brother.” It was Jo, who gave a hard glare to Aslan and turned to Elena. She hugged her, “Please darling, don’t insult yourself like this.”But Elena separated herself from Jo and spoke. “Your brother had no right over me, yet he plotted my sale. My husband had no right to sell me, yet he did. Now, do I have any right on myself, huh? You guys won’t even let me fight for my freedom? Can’t I ask for anything that should be mine by right?”“Elena, you are not something to be betted.” Aslan begged.
Author’s POV One Week LaterAslan jumped into the car cursing. He was breathing so heavily as if he had just ran a marathon, but the news had shook him. He hit the accelerator, changed the gears, and in a few seconds, his Bugatti was gliding on the road at 120. He was honking and people were giving him ugly looks, but did he care?
