" Did you chain her to my bed? " I slowly opened my eyes when I heard a voice that was almost a whisper. My blurry sight can't deal with this dark room, but why am'I even here? " Yes sir! All good. " Even if I can't clearly see the surroundings, I can sensed that there are people in this room. I don't know why but even if I try, I can't utter a word to say. My body doesn't obey my mind and remained helpless on this soft bed. " You can all go out. Better not disturb me by any means. " I wanted to move my head but I can't, as if my body was all frozen. I felt someone's presence that's getting near my direction. A domineering aura and strong charisma occupied this room. " Lady, you'll be in my care from now on. " I was stunned for what he said. What does this man mean? I can't even see his face, all I can feel is that, he have this sharp dimmed eyes that's currently focusing on me. He caressed my hair and sniffed my neck as if there's a hidden fragrance in it. I can feel his hot breath touching my cheeks and his warm palm teasing my shoulders. My mouth is still shut while my eyes are slowly regaining my sight. " Lady, don't blame me. Blame your scent that made my body crave for more. " He murmured right into my ear and bit it. There's a sudden heat running in my veins as he planted small kisses on my neck. How did I even get here? Did I climb onto his bed? But I never remembered something like this? And I don't even know this guy? I'm just a college student who works hard to serve myself. Knowing that my life was always been so lonely, I didn't imagined to end up like this. And encounter a more heavy burden in my heart.
Aesthetic's POV:
" Hurry up Thea! Mrs. Smith told us that the boss will arrive today. " My friend Kiendra shouted at me when she noticed that I'm just sitting on my chair, doing nothing. I boredly set my eyes of her and nodded tardily as if I was just hanging around.
I can't blame anyone for being so sleepy at work, it was already five in the morning when I fell asleep because of my stupid dream. I dreamt about a man who looks exactly like a protagonist in a fantasy story. Though I can't clearly define his features, but all I know is that, he can definitely drag women's interest.
He has this dimmed eyes with a deep meaning inside. It seems that there are nameless emotions in it that may broke his stance any minute. That dream! That dream always shows up trice a week. What does it mean? And who the hell was that man?
" Are you done day-dreaming? Do you wanna get fired? " I moved my sight to her when she sarcastically asked me a question. Kiendra was always been a hot tempered woman, maybe that's the reason why she's still single till now. Oppsss! We're actually the same.
" I'll be at your back. " I answered. She turned her back at me and walked slowly while stamping her foot. This amazona girl is really aggressive. Well, she cares for me and I appreciate it.
After my parents died because of an accident ten years ago, she became my family in an instance. I was twelve years old when I was left alone. No relatives, no friends. I remember that I was so hopeless and thought that I will die together with my parents, but unexpectedly, a fifteen years old girl named Kiendra showed up and grabbed me to save my life. But,------my parents didn't survive, including my older brother who was always been by my side whenever I needed comfort.
Subsequently, she brought me to an orphanage and we grew up together. My parents are known for being great in business, but there was no news about their death. Not even me, as their missing daughter. That's why I stayed quite and started to stand up on my own foot. Nevertheless, that was all from the past, so maybe there's no one who can recognize me now. After all, I grew up as a fine lady and an independent one.
" Crap! " I cursed and ran as fast as I can when I noticed that I'm the only person who was left in this floor. Maybe they're all at the entrance, welcoming our new boss. I quickly stepped my foot in the elevator and pressed the first floor.
I'm at the fourty-fifth floor and my destination is the first. Holly molly! Maybe because I was out of my mind these past few weeks, that I even neglected my work as a part of the department of finance.
I'm wearing a black skirt that's two inches above the knee, paired by a white fitted shirt with a black coat. This isn't the proper uniform here, but mine was soaked wet last night when the rain poured from the sky.
I'm now twenty-two years old and still a graduating student from the Stallion University. A school that has good reputation and reviews. It's an expensive school but I was able to study there because I have my scholarship. Maybe that was the reason why they hired me even if I'm not yet a college graduate.
I lifted my head to see who's the person in front of me when the elevator stopped in the twenty-fourth floor. Seems that I'm not the only one who is late and will be fired? Thank God I have a companion if ever Mrs. Smith will blow fire on me.
" Hello? " I greeted but more like a question. LOL! I was aiming to take a glance at him but ended up fixing my gaze to him. I was so shocked when I realized how good-looking this person is. The person whom I just saw at this very moment. Could it be, fate?
" Ahemm... Don't you know how to talk? " I sarcastically said then stared at him. He has this domineering aura and a catchy charisma. I looked at his face and saw how artistic his eyebrows are. His dark eyes that symbolizes danger yet, it was so gorgeous that I won't be bored by just staring at his two dimmed eyes.
I moved my gaze to his well-shaped nose down to his thin sexy lips. Ghad! How can this man be so perfect? His skin that looks so soft and his jaws that was like curved by an artist for a year. He even have this luscious adams apple. Woah! Is he a celebrity? But how come he's here?
" Tsk! Your eyes are indeed annoying. " I suddenly snapped out all my fantasies in my head. Really Thea? You lost yourself just because of this arrogant man in front of you? Hmmp...
I looked at him from head to toe, as if I was disgusted but I really know how perfect he is. Wearing a formal suit that fits his tall height and body. Though I can't see through how it really looks like, but I can definitely guess that he have some hidden abs in his black coat. And it looks really expensive.
" Dream on! I was just looking around. " I stated and looked away. Why do I feel that this elevator is so damn slow? Aren't we there yet? I played with my fingers, trying to stay calm when I sensed that he's now looking at me. The heck? Why does my heart is beating rapidly like I'am in a race or something?
" Hmm... You're pretty brave for an employee. " I lifted my head when he spoke up. Huh! Is he discriminating my status? Can't let this dumb guy win. I crossed my arms and accessed my deadly gaze to him. Eye for an eye, a man for a woman.
" Don't you know that being an employee in this huge company have a great salary rather than some celebrities? " Gosh! Seems like I was reciting a poetry. I raised my eyebrow and turned my eyeballs at him. Yes, he is indeed handsome but that doesn't mean that I'll let him split away.
My body froze when I found out that he's actually trying to make me embarrass using his sharp eyes. His features are truly irresistible while his figure is definitely the perfect definition of the word perfect itself. He may be from a well-known and wealthly family.
" I didn't ask... " He seriously said right into my face. He frowned but looked away immediately after taking a glimpsed at me. Well, I'm cute so maybe he can't resist my beauty. Toinks!
" Now you're acting weird. It's ok! I know you already regretted what you said. " I normally said and took a deep sigh. Now we're almost near to the first floor. Kiendra and the group might literally kill me if I put stains to our department. I know that there are many employees who doesn't like me at all. Maybe because they thought that being just a student isn't qualified to work in this company.
I hurriedly stepped out when the elevator arrived. I was about to run in order to welcome our new boss at the entrance when someone holds my wrist tightly. I moved my head and saw the guy whom I don't like. Well, I love his physical appearance but not his cold and rude personality.
" What is your problem? " I hardly asked him trying to break his grip. I was stunned when I saw danger in his dark eyes, as if there's something he doesn't like. I followed his finger that's currently pointing to me. I exclaimed when I realized what he wanted to say.
" You want your black bra to show off? Fix that damn button first before someone will see it... " After saying those words, he left and didn't bother to look back. His broad shoulders were dragging others attention. I hurriedly buttoned my shirt and fixed my messy hair.
While walking, my mind is occupied by that mysterious hot man. Maybe that was the reason why he felt shy earlier. I thought that he realized something good. Well, some wealthy people doesn't know how to respect others, they keep bragging about their money and pride. But,-------should I call him, the elevator guy? Cute!
" You silly girl! Where have you been? The boss already arrived awhile ago. " Mrs. Smith asked me with a low but deadly voice. All my colleagues are staring at me with pure amusement. That's not new to me at all, almost all of them hate me. I don't even know why?
" I have a stomachache, that's why I was late Mrs. Smith. " I responded but didn't dare to look at her. We're just standing near to each other. This company really have many employees, no doubt that this is the most well-known company in this country.
There's no such thing as grand entrance or party, they were only informed that the new boss will be here and will settle this business from now on. It felt weird. I saw how women squeaks as if they were truly excited. Some are whispering about something and others are looking at the mirror, fixing their make-ups. Never mind! They just want to show off to be favored by the new owner.
Seems like Kiendra is nowhere to be found. With this huge number of people? I can't even recognize some people around. I just started working here last year, so I'm not really that aware of others agendas.
" Everybody, go back to work now! " I stiffened when I heard that deep manly voice. I was scared to look up but I decided to enlighten my thoughts. Could it be, him? That elevator guy?
" Oh God! Please spare me... " I whispered when I confirmed that it's actually him. The girls began to murmured and his catchy aura spread all around this floor. He's near me, probably just ten steps forward. I wonder around, hoping he won't see me, but I was totally wrong.
" You... " All eyes around me when he pointed his finger in my direction. I felt my heart skipped a beat. Will he fire me? If I had known that he's my boss, I would've not talk to him like that. I might have even just take the stairs earlier just to avoid him and his rudeness.
I almost stop breathing when he slowly walked towards me. All I can hear is the beat of my pitiful heart and the sound of his shoes, touching the floor. I wanted to move away but I can't, and I musn't. I compossed myself and remained my stance. I smiled at him but I didn't dare to look at his dangerous eyes.
" Follow me in my office... " He whispered and continued to walk. I felt the sudden heat rose up on my cheeks when his breath touched my ears. A huge voltage of electricity runs in my system. Now what? Should I call myself lucky now?
āDance!ā She seductively swayed her body and bit her lips before closing her eyes to feel the sexy rhythm of the music from her earphones. Her body moved on its own like it was accompanying the sexy song. She was in the kitchen, drinking some milk when she suddenly felt like dancing. She was sure that nobody will see her since she was the only person who was left in the house. āOoh babyā¦ā She mumbled, harmonizing the song desirably. She was only wearing her black short shorts and a lose white shirt paired with a fluffy slippers. She didnāt care if her long black hair was messy, after all, she was alone at the moment. She continued dancing sexily as the music climb up to its climax. Her fingers traced her curves as her butt swayed alluringly. It crawled up to her nape and slowly untie her hair clip which made her hair fell and scatter. As she slowly opened her eyes after turning around, her body froze. Her hands that were busy touching her messy hair stopped midway. Shock was written on her face. She straightened her back and stood normally when she saw her dad with his dumbfounded expression. But it didnāt stop there, he was with his business partners. Shit! āL-lets go to the g-garden.ā Her dad utterly said and awkwardly walked away. She looked down when she felt embarrassed. Damn! She was sure that all of them saw her, dancing like an idiot with her eyes closed. After nearly a minute, she lifted her head and was about to go upstairs when her eyes landed to someone that she wanted to forget. Someone whom she wanted to burry for the past three years. Him, staring at her intently from the kitchen door. His fascinating grey eyes scanned her yet the rapid movement of his Adams apple bothered her more. She watched how his slender fingers adjusted his tie before he walked away. He was not so close earlier but she could still smell his addictive manly scent. It was him! One of the most handsome and powerful Ceo in the world. A hot yet cold man that both men and women aim to have. Black De Villa, ------- her ruthless ex-husband.

Nevertheless, he was also a five-star general in the human world. ā The young madam is in your room young master. She was in her deep slumber when the potion took effect. ā One of his allies said, trembling and trying himself not to stutter. Without a word, the sin of pride walked away with his head high. The eagerness to see her after three years of disappearance made him crave for her scent. His desire to own her and suck her blood filled his sorrow and anger. When he reached his room and locked the door, the coldness in his eyes vanished in the mist. He stepped closer to the bed and saw her lying unconscious. Her hair was messy as well as her dress. It was slightly ripped that made his eyes pinned to her slender legs under the thin fabric. When he brushed his knuckles over her cheeks, he closed his eyes for five seconds to feel how soft her skin was. It was delicate. It was seductive, yet, it was also delicious. ā Finally, our hide and seek just ended. ā He bended his body as he whispered near her flushed ears. Biting it slightly before licking her neck, he only wanted to ādo' her. To punish her! ā Youāre mine. Every inch of you is mine. Just mine. Mine alone! ā

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
