“He smiled and all I could think was ‘Oh shit’.”- Unknown
Elsie POV
I woke up with a slight headache. I rubbed my eye but I felt pain when I lifted my hand. I noticed my elbow was injured. I scanned my surrounding which I’m not familiar with. My eyes landed on the figure lie next to me, on the king-size bed.
I gasped.
“Oh, my God,” I yelped and sat on the bed.
He woke up and turned his eyes to me.
“Love, why are you shouting? You almost break my eardrum!” He spat. I couldn’t believe my eyes and ears at this moment. What did he call me? Love?
“What are you doing here? No, where am I now and who changed my cloth? What have you done to me?” I asked in one breath. I stood at the edge of the bed with a man shirt covering my body. I slightly peaked inside my shirt making sure nothing was wrong underneath.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t take off your bra,” he said rubbing his eyes and rested his head on the headboard with one of his arms under behind his head. I feel my face turned crimson red with the imagination of him changing my cloth invaded my mind.
“Wait, now I recall what happened,” I said massaging my temple.
“You are the one who asked them to kidnap me?” I threw him a question. He nodded with his eyes fixed on me, not bother to answer me verbally.
“So, you are the boss?” My mind answered the question before he could do so. The realization hit me. I covered my mouth with my hand. I gazed at him waiting for his reply.
“I prefer another word that sounds better than kidnap,” he said staring at me with unreadable emotion.
“And what am I supposed to call that?” I mocked feeling irritated.
“Probably, fetch you up for a talk or some business,” he smirked arrogantly.
“I can report you to the police,” I exclaimed tried to brave myself.
“I might add I don’t do well with the police and I don’t like them to come on my way.”
“What do you want from me?”
“You know what I want.” He strode closer to me. I take a few steps backward tried to avoid him but unfortunately, my back reached the wall. He jailed me in between his arms by blocking the way out. I raised my head and looked at him straight in the eyes, shield my fear behind. He was shirtless with his built body and tattoo covered his left arm and chest. I keep staring at his trimmed beard until I didn’t notice that his brown eyes keep observing my action.
“Love my beard?” His voice makes me almost jump. I cleared my throat pretended I wasn’t mesmerizing his good looking figure a moment ago.
“I want you,” he said and paused before continues. “For Andrea,” he whispered near my ear which sends a shiver to my body. I hate my body for betraying me.
He stared at me with a close distance between us.
“I told you I will get a ‘yes’ from you.” He reminded me of our last conversation.
“And I remember I told you too that I won’t say ‘yes’ to you.” I challenged him but he just chuckled in return.
“What a brave girl.”
“Indeed.”
“What if I tell you I will kill your family if you didn't accept the offer?” I can see his eyes darken. I believed that was an empty threat.
“No, you are lying. You won’t do that.” My instinct still told me that he wasn’t a bad guy. Or, perhaps I was wrong all this time?
“Andrea is a good girl but I’m not. Killing is part of my life and I have always done that without any doubt. The truth is I enjoyed it.” He strokes my cheek with the back of his palm. I closed my eyes as it terrified me. My body was trembling with his gesture. Now, I truly believed that he was evil and I hate this guy for using cruel ways on me.
“How do you know about my family?”
“Done with a snap of fingers, love. Not a big deal. Your home, job, friends, and your beloved father, everything is under my control.”
“Why? Why you need to go till this extend?”
“Because I want it goes with my flows.”
“But you can hire other people for this job. There must be a lot of people that will like your offer.” I screamed the last few words annoyingly.
“Yeah, I have the same thought too. So, you tell me, love, why don’t you accept this offer?” He twirled his head to the right side.
“I have my own life and I’m not a puppet who follows what you want me to do.” He smirked arrogantly upon my words.
“Puppet,” he smirked repeating the word. “That sound interesting, maybe we can try that.” He narrowed his eyes on me without any intention to break the contact. I felt suffocated been jailed in his arms.
“Who are you actually?” I asked whilst my eyes scanned tattoos that covering his arm till his chest.
“I’m a mafia, love.” He confessed and I can felt his breath fanning on my face.
The word ‘love’ that he used doesn’t sound romantic but on the other hand, it sounds scary. Mafia, not someone that I ever expected in my life.
He was my nightmare!

“You make me feel things I didn’t believe anymore.”- UnknownDexter POVToday will be the day she will be here. I can’t approach her in a nice way so I don’t have another alternative but to use my mafia’s way to make her follow my plan. I knew she hates but me but it doesn’t matter. I don’t need love from anyone. I don’t do romance because I knew eventually it will hurt in the end.“Welcome, love.” I greeted her when the bodyguard brought her to my office in the mansion. I asked them to fetch her from her condo this morning.
“God knew what he was doing from the very beginning.”- UnknownElsie POV“Why are you here, Elsie?” Andrea queried.“To visit you, princess. You don’t want to meet me?” I said faking a sad face.“Of course I want to meet you. I’m happy you came to visit me. I always ask daddy to bring me to you but he always busy.” She complained. I laughed, impressed with how her smart mouth uttered every single word.
“Dust settles. I don’t.”-UnknownElsie POVI left Andrea in the room once I put her to sleep. Her room was on the first floor while mine was on the second floor. I look around searching for that guy that forced me to be here. I need to settle with him about the contract or whatever agreement that we talked about before this. I can’t be stuck at this place as his puppet for the whole life.I walked around the mansion alone. Some of the maids were in the kitchen and numerous men patrolling outside the mansion. I don’t know where his r
“I wish I could ignore you as you ignore me.”-UnknownDexter POVToday I clear out some time to spend with my sweet pie but this round with Elsie joining us. Talking about her, it had been two weeks since she avoided me after the incident in the basement. She avoided me at every corner of the house and not even spares me a glance, literally she just treated me as an invisible man that doesn't exist in the mansion.I walked towards the kitchen and saw her preparing the food for our picnic later. She placed the food in the lunch box and put it inside the big basket. Andrea ente
“You are my favorite distraction.” -UnknownDexter POV“It’s time to go, sweet pie,” I spoke as I noticed that we had spent few hours here. The golden globe in the sky was scorching from above and it seems to send fire to the ground.“Ok, daddy.”“Let’s help Elsie clean up first, shall we?”“No problem, daddy.” She showing me the ‘okay’ signs with
“Pain will not destroy you, the refusal to face it will.”- Rune LazuliDexter POVI wore black pants with a white shirt and match it with a dark blue suit. It is my company charity dinner. I will bring Andrea with me and Elsie had to follow to as she needs to take care of her while I’m occupied with few partners. I went to Andrea’s room once I’m ready.“My stomach pain, Elsie. I don’t think
“I didn't fall for you, you fucking tripped me.”- UnknownDexter POV“Mr. Lorenzo,” I called out his name when I recognized his face. Both of them turned to look at me. I snatched Elsie's hand out from his hand while remained a fake smile on my face.“Oh, Mr. Anderson. It’s a pleasure to talk to your partner. We have a great chat just now. I’m asking her if I can dance with her tonight,” he said, purposely want to mess with my mood. I shouldn't take her as my partner today and it wasn't good to let my enemy knows about her.
“I plan for bugging you every single day for the foreseeable future.”-UnknownElsie POV“Where are we?” I noticed that the car didn’t stop at the mansion.“This is your penthouse. Why are we here?” I asked when I recalled this was the penthouse that his men brought me when they kidnapped me last time.He d
