Mae hid behind me the moment she got a chance, "I already agreed to do what you want, didn't I? I've accepted to work with you, don't do this to me." She pleaded.I sighed inaudibly. I didn't expect her to beg yet, I didn't expect her to beg so soon. I wanted to let her know the rules she had to follow if she worked for me so I invited her to have breakfast with me. When the maid I sent to her returned with her message of not being hungry, it added to my already altered mood and so I decided to take her to where we kept men who wanted to be a part of the Vance empire. I thought she would at least fight for herself but she didn't, she was begging and I didn't want that weakness from her.When I decided to use her to kill Lade, it was because of the way she fought for her freedom and the freedom of the other girls at the auction I held but today, she was acting weak all of a sudden.I looked at her cowering behind me for a second before taking her out of the room with me. It just occur

"Carlos," Leo called the man whom we met tied up when we walked in. Leo was back to his smiling self since he smiled at me earlier in his dining room. He smiled at Carlos but he didn't return the smile. The man seemed to know Leo on a personal level."His family is not here?" I heard Leo ask his men. "His wife and children are outside the country on a holiday trip, but his parents are in one of the rooms here." One of Leo's men responded to his question."Bring them to join us," Leo ordered and his men took action to do as they were told. "Leo," Carlos finally said something since Leo and I walked in."Leave my family out of this." He didn't have an atom of plea in his voice. Maybe he already knew pleading with Leo was useless. Or maybe he is just another proud asshole like Leo himself."Why should I?" Leo laughed heartily after asking. I wonder what the man did to have Leo come for him himself instead of just sending someone to deal with him. What if he was the one who put Leo in a

Carlos spilled everything Leo came to him for. The location of his goods at that moment, where it was going to be shipped to, and how tight the men guarding it were.Now I understand why the road to his (Carlos) house was empty with lots of private lands. It's probably Lade's estate and Carlos was hiding out in the only house there. He was hiding from Leo yet he was found.I was glad I didn't have to do anything bloody today. Although I was tempted to stab Leo with it, I had returned the knife I was given to the torture box before we left that place. I knew that I couldn't leave the place alive if I had tried to kill Leo. Some of Leo's men were still there with Carlos and his parents, while done were accompanying Leo and I back to wherever the fuck we were going.We got back to Leo's mansion and once we were inside, Leo handed me over to the maid who had helped me the first time I was here and tried to escape Leo."Anita," he called and she ran to him."Help Miss Yrote into something s

"Come sit," Leo smiled at me when he spoke and I knew I couldn't trust that snide smile of his. I would honestly rather stand under the light than go sit with him. I walked to him slowly after remembering his mood early this morning. I rather have him smiling than angry at me. I got to him and he patted the closest empty space for me to join him on the sofa. I couldn't sit that close to him. What if he tried anything, I might not have a strong chance to fight back. I walked to the far end of the sofa he sat in before sitting. He smiled when I did that but I couldn't depict his true reaction to it.I was sitting there wondering why I was brought here when he spoke, "Lade is going to arrive here soon, I want you to be as graceful as you can be. He's willing to pay whatever price I'm willing to sell you to him, that's how much he likes you." Sell me?! What does he mean by ‘sell you to him’? He looked my way again so I kept an uncaring face for him to meet so he continued talking."I ju

I held my tumbler up to my lips, my eyes following Mae as she went to Lade. She stopped in front of him when she got to him. Lade dropped his glass on the table. He grabbed one of her ass and I caught Mae blinking repeatedly and fast1, maybe trying to stop herself from shoving his hands away. "She's so soft," Lade smiled."You say she's not the reason I'm here?" He asked me but I didn't answer immediately. My eyes were on his hand and where it was, Mae's ass. I knew he would do that when he walked in and saw her, I knew he would want to touch her and I consented to get going over to meet him but then I wasn't very comfortable with his hands on her."Mae," I called her and she gave her attention to me."Come back here, come sit with me." Lade got his hands off her and she walked back to me obediently. She was going to sit back where she stood from but I stopped her."Here Mae, come sit here," I tapped beside where I sat and she came to me. She sat beside me and I could hear her breath
