Blake POV
I sipped the red wine waiting for some good news.The thunder crashed loudly and the rain showed no sign of stopping anytime soon.
I opened my phone as it vibrated.
"Boss.We have news for you." Claude said.He was one of my men.
"What is it?" I asked.
"We got Joseph's daughter.Now he will have no choice but to pay back." He said.
"Good job.I am coming." I said.A smile curved up my lips.The only thing which made me happy was money.
I told the driver to get my car ready.I wore my coat and headed downstairs immediately.
Joseph Price was a man.A retired man.6 years ago,he needed money for his wife's operation and treatment.It was a lot of money.
When he needed to pay back to the bank,he was empty handed.The bank raiders had the warrant to evacuate his house.At the start of the dawn,he came to my table,my gambling table.
He decided to win some money instead lost everything he even had.When I saw the critical condition of his family,I gave him money and 5 years time to pay me back.
It's been 6 years and still he didn't pay me a single penny.He said he needs more time but I've had enough and I had shown him enough mercy.
He was one lucky fellow because those who know me,they know that I don't have mercy.
Edith POV
I opened my eyes and I was tied to the chair.I had a terrible headache, probably from the unprescribed drugs they gave me.
Five men stood in front of me with a dirty smirk on their faces.
"Your body is on fire,woman." He winked at me.
"Let's make it quick, alright?" He walked towards me.
"f**k off." I groaned.
"No,I am going to f**k you so be a good girl before boss comes." He said as he pushed me to the ground.
"No!No...! f**k you.Stop!" I yelled.Was I going be gang raped by a bunch of dirty men?
I cried as I yelled for help.
"Stop!" I yelled as a man slapped me.
"Shut the f**k up and take it!" He said.
"Stop!" A rough voice thickened the air around us.A shudder seized me as the voice made it's way to my ears.
The thunder was just like his voice.
The dirty men cleared away and I saw that man.
He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt.He had a chiseled jaw and a sharp nose.He had a pair of perfectly kissable lips which I bet tasted amazing.
Everything went more silent with every step he took.
"What did I tell about respecting women?" He asked.He seemed really angry.
"Boss,it isn't what it looks like." A man said.
"No one disrespects woman in my world and you five are going to pay for this." He yelled.
"Boss,I promise, what you thought was wrong." Another one said.
"What? You five wanted to rape me.What did he think wrong? Mr.Boss,these 5 wanted to rape me for your information and that guy slapped me look." I pointed towards the man who slapped me while showing the boss my bruise.
He made a phone call and instructed the men to leave us alone.As soon as the metal door closed, something rose inside me.Something that I've never felt before.
Nervousness.
He walked towards me and helped me stood up.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"I am fine but why did these men kidnap me and who are you?" I asked.
"Come, I'll tell you everything once we go home." He said.He took me to his car and we drove off the somewhere I couldn't even recognize.
After half an hour,we reached in front of a two storey apartment which looked extremely luxurious.
"You live here?" I asked.
"No." He replied.
"It's not your house then?" I asked.
"Come out." He opened the door for me.
"Yes,it is my house but I stay elsewhere.I have many houses." He smiled.
Rich and dominative.
We walked inside the house.He got me a glass of orange juice.
"Thank you." I replied.
"Your father didn't pay me back a lot of money.That's why you are here." He said.
"It's just a few dollar notes.You are rich,why do you need it back anyways?He is a dying man,show him some mercy." I said.
"I don't have mercy,woman." He said.
"What will you do if he can't pay back,what will you do?" I asked.
"I will kill you..." He whispered.
"Oh,I thought you were nice." I replied.
"I gave him 4 months to pay me back.If he can,I will release you and you can continue living the life you once used to or else..." He smiled.
"You are not serious." I smiled and leaned closer to him.
"Why would you think that I am not serious?" He smiled.
"I can read a person easily." I replied.
"You are very wrong, little girl." He whispered.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Edith." I replied.
"Full name." He said.
"Des... Desdemona Edith Price." I replied.
"Beautiful name but such cruel meaning." He smirked.The name hurt me but I couldn't say anything.He was nice and dangerous.That was the worst kind of people.I couldn't tell him now.I narrowed down my eyes and stopped speaking.
He slowly applied a cream on my bruised cheek.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Thank you for the...uh medicine." I replied, trying to change the subject.
"Desde-"
"Please, don't call me Desdemona.I was forced to have this name.My name is Edith." I said.
"I am sorry.I thought you had this name on purpose.I didn't mean to hurt you." He breathed out.His tone was too sweet.No one has spoken to me in that way,ever and right now,he was apologising to me.
"Despite the meaning,I think it's a beautiful name." He said.
"And I might just call you that forever." He smiled and his hand touched my cheek.Suddenly,there was a change in my breathing pattern and I began to feel warm,as if I could almost feel the blood surging in my veins.
"You can't.No one's ever called me that." I argued.
"Then,I might just be the first." He smiled and lifted my right hand.
"Now,what kind of person wears watch on their right hand?" He asked.His voice was so deep and so sexy.I couldn't even control myself.
"The kind of person named Desdemona." I replied.He laughed in a masculine way.I can't believe that I am saying this but he looked beautiful when he smiled.He looked heavenly.
It felt like he was the human version of a heaven.
I immediately looked down when my eyes met his.
"I have kept some fresh clothes in your room.Go to sleep.If you need something,I will be in my room.Feel free to knock and have a good night." He said.
"Wait,what about my phone?" I asked.
"Your phone is somewhere safe and not here.You can use this one.Don't call your family members or friends if you care for their safety.Don't you dare call the police because I will know." He explained everything.
"Thank you but why did you trust me?" I asked.
"I didn't.Every call you make, everything action you take will appear on my phone so you better be careful." He said.
"Good night." He whispered and planted a small kiss on my forehead.
"Wait!" I said.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Blake." He replied.
"Full name?" I asked just the way he asked me.
"Blake Alaric." He replied.
"Good night." I bit my lips and headed towards my room.He was still staring at me and I knew it.
I also knew that no man could stand my charm.
