"I'm not giving you no money, I owe you nothing" A male voice responded but it sounded like he was being strangled.
"Then I will just have to kill you, you crazy bastard, do you think I'm joking here?" The feminine voice rang out again.
Sure enough when Adrian rounded the corner the voice was coming from in the parking lot, it was the woman, though she had her back to him he could still recognize her blonde hair.
She had a man pinned to the wall in a death grip with her arm on his neck in a strangling manner. He shoved his hands into his suit trousers pocket as he watched them, waiting to see the woman's next move.
"So you think that I slept with you for free huh? Do I look like I am doing charity work? Oh because you saw that I was distracted so you sneaked away but you never thought that I would be back huh?" The woman asked through gritted teeth.
Adrian's eyes darken to the deepest shade of blue, his blood began to boil in anger at the woman's words. He felt his wolf come alive and try to take over his body to snap off the head of the man who touched their little mate but he shoved his wolf back, he did not want to scare his mate with a blood bath.
"Screw you crazy bitch" the man said but the next minute spat out blood as the woman punched him in the mouth.
"Give the lady her money" Adrian has had enough of watching them.
As much as he wanted to wait and watch how the woman would get her money he was getting bored. This was the woman he had been looking for over two weeks, he wanted her now .
The man and the woman turned around slowly to look in the direction Adrian was standing, he smiled smugly when he saw the woman's eyes widen in surprise but the smile came off his face when she quickly controlled her expression and returned her face to the man she still had pinned to the wall.
"I am not giving this bitch no money cause I owe her nothing. She came onto me herself I never invited....." The man stopped mid sentence and his eyes dilated on his face which was bruised from being punched by the woman.
He was frozen with shock as he recognized the man who was standing beside him in the dark parking lot.
Adrian Osiander, king of the underworld. The was the most feared mafia in the whole of Los Angeles. Everyone does their best to stay away from this dreadful man who killed without a second thought.
The man felt himself begin to sweat in places he never knew existed but Adrian had his gaze fixed on the woman and did not even care if he existed.
"I do not like repeating myself" Adrian was getting impatient when he looked at the man and found him staring at him transfixed.
"Of course of course I will quickly give her money to her" the man wasted no time in dipping his hand into his pocket and bringing out some bills which the woman quickly snatched from him.
The man wanted to hurl insulting words at her but wisely bit his lips and kept shut, he sighed in relief when the woman took her hand off his neck to count the money.
He never knew that the woman was very strong and provoked her getting himself into trouble. She was not the first woman he had swindled but this one was not scared of him and what surprised him more was how a little woman like her could have enough strength to pin him to the wall.
He nearly passed out when the woman said that her money was not complete. He really wished that he could strangle her but a pair of devilish eyes was watching him. Even if Adrian was not there, with how strong the woman turned out to be, he doubted that he would be able to strangle her.
Still he tried to say " that.. that's a lot of money I..." He stopped mid sentence when he felt a sudden chill in the air, he felt the hair on his neck rise and he felt fear freeze his heart.
He knew damn well that the chill was coming from the imposing man who was standing with them so he quickly shoved his hands again into his pocket to fish out more money which he handed over to the woman praying that this time it was enough for her because he had no more money.
"It's complete, if you try this nonsense with me again you will never live to tell the story" the woman threatened him.
" Yes yes" he was relieved when she said her money was complete. If not he wouldn't know what to do. He sidestepped the woman and rushed out of the parking lot.
Adrian turned and signaled one of his bodyguards to go after the man. He was not going to let him go after he touched his mate. After the bodyguard left, Adrian returned his gaze back to the woman who was now putting the money she collected from that man Into her pocket with a satisfied expression.
Without sparing the man in front of her a glance the woman proceeded to walk out in the direction the other man went.
"Are you not at least going to say thank you?". That was not what he wanted to ask but the question was out already and he could not take it back.
He heard his bodyguards that were standing within ear shot, gasp at his words but he paid them no attention focusing all his mind on the woman as he moved to block her path.
"And why should I say thank you? I never asked for your help, you were just being such a busybody. I had everything covered before you got here and I would have collected my money one way or the other, don't you see? I didn't really need your help" the woman looked up at the man who was towering over her five feet six figure.
His size was impressive and he also had guards with him, he could easily over power her. She felt her shiver in fear but she did her best to hide it.
Adrian growled at the lack of respect, he wasn't just an underworld boss he was also an Alpha so he and he wolf always wanted to be respected but here was a very little woman disrespecting him. He was going to teach her a lesson but not here, not now.
The first time he met her was here at the club two weeks ago, she was the one who walked up to him not in the least bit scared, surprising him.
She was the one that seduced him that day while he talked business causing him to lose concentration and end the meeting fast enough to get her Into bed and extinguish the fire she lit up in him.
He never knew that sexual act was very pleasurable until he slept with her. Because he always pressed his wolf to the back of his mind anytime he was in human territory it took him longer than it should for him to realize that the woman in his arms was his mate.
When he realized it he decided to keep her so he held her close to him throughout the night for fear that she would disappear. And she did disappear because when he woke up the next day the woman and his two million dollars were gone just like that, into thin air like they never existed.
The only reason why he knew that she did not appear in his dreams and that everything that happened took place in reality, was the indentation on the side of the bed where she lay the night before.
He was not a deep sleeper and with his arms around her she was not supposed to escape but the sneaky woman still managed to slip away from him but not anymore.
He was claiming her as his, whether or not she likes it.
"If you are not going to say thank you then you have to thank me in another way, your pick". It's not like she had any choice but he wanted to play a little game with her.
"I already had everything covered, move it" The woman made to move around him.
" I asked you not to leave, didn't I?" Adrian asked, referring to that night.
His voice came out softer than he wanted it to, surprising both him and his bodyguards who suddenly felt like a different person had taken over his body.
What surprised him even more was when the woman did not even pretend like she knew nothing about what he was saying.
"You are not my boss,". Then, she proceeded to stomp away from him.
For the hundredth time that night Adrian's bodyguards felt like they were suddenly in another world and someone had taken over their boss's body. Because how would that woman disrespect him yet here he was watching the woman with his lower lip curled up in a tiny smirk as she walked off without as much as a backward glance.
Adrian was amused instead of angry as he watched his mate march away getting further and further away from him. She was cute when she bare her claws at him but he was not going to let her go this time around.
"Get her for me" he told Nicole without even looking at him. Adrian's gaze was on the woman that just rounded a corner and disappeared from his sight.
His life will become more interesting with his mate in it. He just knew that.
"Get her for me" Adrian told Nicole Like a machine whose power button has been pressed, Nicole woke up from the haze he was in and ran after the woman who had gotten far away from them. She was almost out of the parking lot when he got to her He understood too well what Adrian wanted him to do to the woman. Just was she heard his footsteps behind her and was about to turn around to look at him he passed a hand that was holding a drugged handkerchief over her nose. He pressed the woman against his chest when she began to struggle but after a little time the drugs took effect and the woman became limp as she collapsed on him. He picked her up and slung her over his shoulders as he began to walk back to Adrian. Adrian growled when he saw the way Nicole carried the woman back. He stretched out his arms to receive her and carried her princess style before walking back to his car to place her at the back seat. He used his hand to push her hair away from her face and gave
Mia's eyes popped open in shock when her head finally registered what he asked her to do. Strip? Lay on the bed with her legs apart? Just who the hell was he to tell her that?. He thinks she is a prostitute? Ok fine, she slept with men for money, so yeah she was a prostitute but it was for a good cause not because she wanted to. She never allowed the men she slept with to touch her the way they liked or get her to do any dirty thing for them. She has always called the shots so just who the hell does he think he is? Her fear was immediately replaced by an overwhelming surge of anger "in your dreams" She sneered at him " You refuse?" To say that Adrian was surprised was an understatement. He thought that she would do as he asked just so that she could pay him for the money she stole. He thought that she would give her body to him so he would drop her at the next airport. Maybe he thought wrong because now he could see none of the fear she had in her eyes before nor co
"Stupid bastard,". Mia swore under her breath. How was she to know the way into the house and how was she to escape when her hands were tied up and her eyes blindfolded by some stupid tie that was supposed to be on his neck?. She decided to go in the way she heard him walk but she had not even taken three steps when her leg knocked against something hard and she ended up on the floor. "Ahh" she gasped in pain but not loud enough for him to hear wherever he was. She did not want him to hear her cry of her pain because she won't be able to stand him laughing at her plight, one he himself put her in. She decided to crawl with her knees to whatever it was that she kicked her leg on and after reaching it she turned her back around and reached out to feel it with her hands. After much struggle she discovered that it was a staircase so she sat on it. She decided to remain there until he came back or sent someone to get her. She was not going to give him the satis
He was watching alright. He was watching her through the camera planted in her room. He wanted to know her every move and he wanted to watch what she would do. He watched as she stood in front of the window staring out and he was sure that she was cursing at him for using a burglar proof on it to stop her from escaping. He was no fool, they were on the ground floor so it would be easy to jump out. That was why he kept her there. He would have loved to put her in his room where he could see her, watch her directly and then hold her to sleep. But,he knew that he had to watch her every move for now. If he was not careful enough she would disappear again just like that night but it won't be that easy as there were guards everywhere. Still, he did not want to take any chances. He wanted to do with her what they had done together in that hotel room that night. He wanted to do it forever not once so he had to look for a way to make her stay. He rested his back on
"You are not leaving sweetheart" " What do you mean by that? You don't expect me to stay here forever do you? I have my own life I need to get back to. People are.. " " People are what? Waiting for you?" He interrupted her with a question of his own. "Yes of course". She deadpanned "people are waiting for me. I have people that will look for me " Adrian dropped his cutlery before picking up a napkin with which he wiped his mouth, "You and I both know that there is one waiting for you neither is anyone going to be looking for you". He fixed his hard gaze on her. He must have done a research on her to know that she had no friends or family that would look for her, Mia thought but she refused to back down."It doesn't matter if anyone is waiting for me or going to look for me. I have my own life and I need to get back to it". "You are not leaving sweetheart". He repeated again and he picked up his cutlery and began to eat. "What do you mean?". Mia stood up and
Adrian almost dropped her a couple of times while carrying her back to her room because of her actions. When they got to her room, her arms were around his neck and she was whispering gibberish. "There you go sweetheart". Adrian sighed when he got into her room. He moved to drop her on the bed. He tried to pry her hands off his neck but her hold on his neck was tight causing him to fall and land on top of her. He raised his head to look at her face that was right in front of his. He watched as her full pink lips pouted as she murmured about how something heavy was on top of her but still she was not pushing him off or releasing her hold on him. She drew him down and pressed her lips on his. Adrian froze, but it was only for a mere second. He was already aroused from all the groping, the whining and the way she was moaning while he was carrying her to her room. He was on top of her and she was kissing him. He could not control himself. He kissed her back with
After bathing, Mia stepped out of the bathroom stark naked. She was surprised to see that Adrian was still in her room. "Am I supposed to go shopping like this? " She spread her arms apart. Adrian glanced her way. His Adams apple bobbled up and down as he stared at the naked body of his mate. 'what is wrong with you, woman? ' he wanted to ask but his throat felt dry as his body responded to what he was seeing. "Take mate. Mate" his wolf began to chant in his head. " Why the hell are you walking about naked?" He glared at her. He wanted to rush to her and gather her up in his arms but he held himself back. He wanted this woman to be the one begging him to take her and he was going to make it happen. One way or the other. "Well, someone kidnapped me so I don't have anything to wear. How about we just go shopping like this? " Mia smirked, she could see how uncomfortable he got when she walked out naked. At least, she was not the only one that was feeling
After taking his bath and dressing up Adrian returned back to Mia's room. By then, her calm had been restored and she had a cold expression on and was refusing to meet his eyes. He did not ask her what happened "let's go". Mia stood up and without a word she followed him outside. She was surprised that he did not ask about her strange reaction to his room. Well, no one gives a flying fuck especially not him, Mia thought as she walked behind him. She refused to pick out clothes from the first boutique they entered and then the second one. When she checked the price tag, she saw that everything was just so expensive, she felt like collapsing. She'd thought about why he wanted to get her clothes instead of allowing her to go home to pick a few when she brought the idea forward on their way. Maybe he wanted her to owe him too much and when she was not able to pay him, she would have to work for him forever. She could not allow that to happen. There was someone
