The Hades RoomDylan gently stared at the instruments and weapons laid out on the table. His eyes went from stun batons to spiked batons to stun belts but none appealed to him. The instruments all looked mediocre to him. It was the regular stuff, something that was used on regular prisoners. He needed something more intense and evil. Something to remind him of who he was, a merciless bloodlusted mafia godfather. He needed to give himself a reason as to why he wouldn't fall into the trap of weakness called love. He needed to be sure he wasn't losing his touch again. It felt like history was repeating itself. He was a very murderous and bloody man before he met Clara. Then she came into his life and made him fall in love with her. As their relationship grew, he began withdrawing from his violent ways, becoming more peaceful. He had Victor handle the gruesome and murderous activities. Of course, Victor was very glad to do so.Then when Derek came along, he got softer and softer, watchi
Dylan arrived at home and alighted from his vehicle. He gently made his way into the mansion, acknowledging the bows and gestures of reverence from his guards. As he got to the stairs, he saw Chelsea climbing down. "Good Evening" she greeted and passed him, walking towards the exit. Dylan found the attitude strange and squinted his eyes. Maybe she had a bad day or remembered something sad."Where are you going to?" he called after her.She stopped in her tracks but she didn't turn back to look at him. "I'm going for a business meeting. And don't worry, I'm not going alone" she replied and continued towards the exit. "Can't you spare some minutes and fill me in on this business meeting of yours?" he said gently, looking at her skeptically. "Dylan!" he heard a familiar voice call him from above. He looked up and saw Joyce standing on the upper floor that overlooked the entrance of the mansion. "Ma" he replied calmly. "We need to talk" she said and looked at him with a plain expre
Skylands Hotel The Bentley Continental arrived at the hotel and Hugo drove it to a stop, parking at an assigned parking space. He alighted the vehicle and opened the door for Chelsea. She put on her mask and alighted as well. She surveyed the surroundings and made for the entrance, leaving Hugo behind to stay at the car.She walked into the bar section and paused a little. As expected, the entire place was buzzing with customers. Several men and women were partying, dancing and drinking to their heart's content. Her eyes scanned the area and she saw Stone sitting in a dimly lit reserved corner at the far end of the bar. He was surrounded with guards, well armed and ready to unleash hell on whoever called for it. She wasn't making that type of call however. She wore a smiling expression and walked towards him. The guard maintained their position, not budging or making way for her to pass. She squinted her eyes and looked at them with a sense of skepticism. "Are you out of your sens
Chelsea followed behind Dylan, heading for the study. They got to the study and he opened the door for her, allowing her to go in before him. She looked at him but his expression was totally blank. She took her eyes off him and went inside. He followed after her and slammed the door shut behind him. He walked gently to the middle of the room and stood before her, looking her straight in the eye but his face was still void of expressions. "Why did you want to see me?" he calmly asked, his tone laced with neither hate nor love. It was as though he was just talking to his subordinate at the office. The way he spoke to Selina and others.She heaved. She found it difficult to look him back in the eyes so she lifted the Zero Halliburton and kept her gaze on it. "Because of this" she replied gently. He squinted his eyes. "And what is that?" he asked."A tribute I collected from Stone" she replied, her eyes still fixed on the Halliburton. "Tribute?" he asked, uncertain as to what she was
Later That Evening Chelsea heard a series of knocking on her door and walked towards it to open it. She immediately stopped halfway as she remembered she was putting on only her underwear. Only Joyce or Dylan visited her in her room. She and Dylan were no longer relating on intimate terms. Revealing too much of her body to him would only classify her as desperate. Besides, he might even get mad and infuriated at her because of it or make an issue out of it. It was also highly possible that he would find it disrespectful and talk her down for it. Honestly, at this point, there was no telling what Dylan would do. There wasn't a thing as being too careful around him.She turned around and headed for her closet. She put on a mini gown and proceeded to open the door. She saw Dylan standing outside with two other of his guards. Dylan stood with his hands inside his pockets while the guards stood behind him, their hands clasped together behind them.Behind the three of them was a tall meta
The Bentley Continental arrived at the hotel and Hugo parked it at the parking lot. He opened the door for Chelsea and she alighted the vehicle. She had her mask on and elegantly walked towards the entrance of the hotel. Immediately she stepped in, she remembered she almost had an altercation with the manager of the hotel. She smirked and walked straight to the elevator, not waiting for the manager to receive her or guide her to the meeting place. "Hey. Excuse me, Madam" she heard a voice call after her and stopped. She closed her eyes and sighed. Then she turned around, expecting to see the face of the woman who threw herself at Dylan, the manager, Beatrice Chadwell. But instead, she saw a much more younger face, more beautiful and more officially dressed. Her eyes immediately went to the tag and she saw a different name and position as well: 'Laura Stevens, Customer Relations Officer'.Her eyes went back to the face and she was met with a charming and friendly smile."Good Day,
Chelsea took another sip from her glass and emptied the glass this time. She was subconsciously getting carried away and she was loving the feeling. She smiled at Omar, finding him more and more adorable as they engaged in several unrelated discussions. She knew she was getting under the influence but she couldn't stop herself. No, she was enjoying it too much to stop herself."So you moved to Miami what, two years ago?" Omar asked, smiling right back at her.It was this same mysterious smile of his that kept on attracting her and making her glued to him and keeping her in the converstaion to the extent that she was letting go of herself. She found his smile both mysterious and mischievous at the same time. And she loved the feeling of both. It made him all the more adorable."Yea. Two years ago" she replied in a soft voice. Now she was sounding alluring. Her vision had started getting blurry. She needed to get a hold of herself. She had let the drink get to her. She had originally w
The elevator dinged, announcing their arrival at the private suite. The doors slid open, revealing an environment pleasurable to the eyes. They stepped out of the elevator and walkes into the hallway that only led to the private suite. Omar went ahead, heading for the only door ahead of them.Chelsea followed behind him, taking her time to observe the environment. It was really amazing and we'll adorned. Exotic paintings hung at several places while ornamental plants adorned the ground. The entire entrance to the private suite had the qualities of a top notch environment, exuding the feel of a penthouse. An Arabian's penthouse.Omar opened the door, revealing the private suite. Chelsea elegantly walked in, taking her time to observe the interior and adoring everything her eyes observed. Several golden items were placed here and there, clearly affirming that it belonged to an Arabian. The entire theme was predominantly white. It was a spotless ocean of white.Omar closed the door behin
