Chapter Five: Strip!

ASHLEY'S P.O.V

The first ray of sunlight seeped through the window which made me stir and my beautiful almond eyes shaped like the beautiful nuts yanked open, I felt a sharp pain underlying the numbness on the left side of my stomach then I tried to lift up my weight but my stomach felt dead and wouldn't obey my instructions.

I heared the door handle twitch then Dante came into view and a cold chill ran down my spine while I glared at him with a burning rage.

"What do you want? did you come to shoot me again?" I lashed out at him in a sonorous voice. He leaned at the door with his hands shoved in his trouser pocket with an icy angry gaze which pierced through me like a sharpened sword then slowly a sly smile spread across his lips then he took few steps towards my direction, he stood in front of me with a grilling gaze and crouched down right in front of me.

"I am Dante Garvino and I rule the mafia so I can choose to torture you till my heart content and there's nothing you can do about it" the tone of his voice made me shiver as his words took control over me and my breathing hitched. My pulsating heart paced faster then he gently brushed my messy hair away from my face as I watched him tuck the strands of my hair behind my ear then I shoved away his hand harshly then I swallowed hard with the lump of fear which was formed in my throat.

My tears were threatening to roll down freely from my tear gland but there wasn't any way I could let it happen as I fought it back inside then I looked away. He cupped my chin harshly and tilted my head to face him and grinned widely

"You shouldn't look away when I'm so close to you" his deep voice sounded like a deadly cold whisper which made me gulp hard and his green eyes gazed into mine, the more I let myself get lost in his gaze I got amazed at his features. He had an androgynous look which portrayed him like a male model with his smooth white face and viking dark hair.

"Ahh!!!" I whimpered in pain when Dante dug his finger into my wounded stomach. I tried using my hands to stop his movements but I couldn't surpass his strength, he grabbed my hands in his fists and towered them above my head as he dug his finger deeper then a sharp pain surged throughout my body. I felt a trickling sensation on my body and when I looked down blood was oozing out.

"Please stop it, it hurts" I pleaded with a cry of undeniable pain

"I know it hurts that's why I'm doing this, I want you to feel pain so you don't ever think of taking me for a fool. Did you think you'll be able to escape from my clutches?" he smirked which indicated his actions were on purpose and I could see anger and rage in his eyes. I curled my toes tightly and bit my lips hard with traces of pain on my face, tears sparked up in the corner of my eyes at the sudden aggression and his green deadly eyes screamed dangerous then he pushed me as though I was some kind of disgusting human.

"No! this is wrong, you're asking for too much and that which I can't give to you" despite my tears and pleading I looked at him with disgust and irritation.

"That's what I desire and when I desire something I do everything in my power to get it. I never give up and I'll make sure I torture you till you are left with no other choice but to give into my demand. Your time is ticking, I make every decision by my rules and with careful thoughts so think wisely before giving me your next reply" I watched him leave the room and I found courage to fire back at him.

"Do I look like a posession to you or a lost pet whom you've decided to hold captive? listen to me carefully Mr mafia man, I'm a fucken human and humans have the right to decline and accept so what's so hard to get it straight into your damn fucken skull" he came to a sudden halt then he turned to face me and his expression became deadlier than ever. I could see through his eyes which showed he was fuming in outmost rage.

"Repeating a lie doesn't make it the truth and no criminal accepts he or she is one. It will be best if you shut up your filthy mouth and remain quiet and like I told you I don't fancy being cursed at" he mused coldly and I scrunched up my eyebrow in a challenging way. He moved his hand to the side of his pocket and retrieved his gun which was clamped on his waist and my heart clenched tightly at the sight of the dangerous weapon which was passed through my stomach, I knew how it felt to be shot at and I won't make such a risky mistake but things took a swift turn when he placed the gun at the side of my head.

"I can easily blow your head off so you have five seconds to come up with an answer. If I can't have you no one else will, you are mine alone and I will have to end you right now and this time around I'm not bluffing I'll kill you and let you die. Five…four…three…two…

"I accept your demand" I yelled "I'll be your sex slave"

"Good girl, didn't I tell you Dante gets what he wants. If someone doesn't want me then I don't chase them, Value and ego must match just like my rules are simple but hard to obey" he said in a victorious win. I shut my eyes tightly but then I needed to be brave, Dante can't always have his way I needed to show him who the boss is.

"So what's next?" I asked as I stared into oblivion then the words escaped my lips.

"Strip!" his voice resounded in my ears and I gulped in fear and confusion. He saw the surprise look on my face which made me stare open mouthed at him, I felt my stomach sink in and holding back the urge to fight the overriding desire to rush into the bathroom and empty all the contents I had inside of me.
