Chapter Four:Prey and Predator.

Cassain Santos

Kairo told me we had business at the underground tomorrow. f**k, I am busy. I had to go though. I had to check personally if our shipments have been delivered in one piece. I will have to sell the items to the people who want it in one piece.

Tomorrow rolled by faster than I thought. I had Kairo with me. He was my trustworthy right-hand man to me,then there's my underboss,Roman.

Roman lead the American mafia. I like to keep my business at home. I own 60% of the whole Italy. I am even one of the top business men too. All this was hardwork.

I checked the goods,signing a few documents too.

“Boss, I heard that the girl who was sent as peace offering has arrived. Why don't we meet her? You know…”,I didn't let him finish.

“Kairo, did you make sure she's put under labor?”, I asked. “I want her severely punished”

“Look, I looked into her background. Her mother ran away from her when she was 15. Her father died even before she was born. Now she lives with her aunt in Mistford”, he started.

“I don't want to hear that pathetic story. That's all they do,make up false lies about themselves”, I said. The headache had started. I needed something hard.

“ I've got the best investigators to investigate her,Boss. The girl was kidnapped and sold to the ship because that bastard was looking for a girl. And she came at the wrong time”,he explained further.

“I do not care, Kairo. I don't give a f**k about her damned , pathetic story. You know what? Fine. I want to talk to her”, I said.

“ I'll get her here”, Kairo left the room. What did he want me to see the girl? How old is she even?

****

The door opened and the woman limped inside.Her right leg was tied with bandage. She looked pale, almost like a ghost. She looked like someone who would collapse right now.

Her eyes were tired and what was she wearing? Is that even clothes or a sack?

I cleared my voice. “Sit down”

She sat down obediently.

“ What's your name?”, I asked . I just realized I was too busy to hear what Kairo says.

“R-Rhea… Smith”,she stuttered. She looked so nervous.

“Do you know why you're here?”, I asked further.

“Please,no. Please, tell me. My aunt!”,she sniffed and tried to stop her tears,but it was so hard for her. I can see it in her eyes.

“Dont cry. I don't like seeing that”, it was enough to make her shatter.

“Oh my God! I-I’m trying not to cry… but…Fuck ”,she furiously wiped her face. We gave her a moment to calm down.

“ I’m so sorry”,she whispered

Her voice was hoarse and there was a tone to it. Hopelessness?

“I don't like what you're wearing. Kairo? See to that”, I said.

“This is what I was given”,she said slowly.

“What’s your measurements, Miss Rhea? What size are you?”

“I’m sorry. I don't know”,she said.

Wasn’t Mistford supposed to be a town?

“I’ll find you something to wear. I'll guess your size myself”,Kairo said. She nodded meekly.

I looked at her.

“ Should I let you go?”, I asked.

She raised her head. Hope slowly finds its way to her heart.

Fuck I'm never like this. Her hair was unique, pink hair. Her brown eyes looked like hot coffee.

I f*****g need a woman right now.

“Yes, please. My aunt! She must be worried about me”,she said.

“I … I can't let you go”,I told her. Her whole brightened face moments ago shattered. “But, I can make you call her if you want. You see, you've seen things that you're not supposed to see. I can't let you go. You could sell us out to the police”

“No, I wouldn't. I'll forget about everything”,she said frantically.

“But you would tell your aunt. I can't take that risk. You'll be allowed to check in on her,but you won't tell her that you got kidnapped. Find another story”, I told her.

She looked bothered ,sick, lean, like someone who hasn't been eating well lately. Her eyes looked heavy.

She stood up,moving closer to me,still limping. What happened to her leg?She grunts in pain with every step she takes.

“Please, sir….”,she didn't get to finish her sentence because she was fainting. She lost her balance. I caught her before she could fall.

“Hey, wake up”, I've never been in this situation before,except if it concerns my mother. She was so hot. Her skin is hot,you wouldn't know unless you touch her. I've never felt anyone be this hot before.

Her breathing was ragged. I picked her up,making sure she was comfortable in my arms. Her heat was almost making me sweat too.

She weighed nothing even my f*****g dumbbells are heavier than her. She looked so vulnerable and fragile and so pale. I can't deny the fact that she's beautiful. Yes,she is. With her pink hair, brown eyes, plumb red lips,that long lashes. Her whole face was amazing.

“ f**k”, I muttered under breath.

I walked down the corridor. We reached outside and a guard opened the door for me. I placed her in the passenger seat,I buckled her seatbelt and checked the car to get to the driver's seat.

Fuck… fuck.. I've never been in this s**t situation!

For a moment,I would have left her there. If she was to die, she would . I drove her to one of the hospitals I own nearby.

I carried her in. The doctors recognized me and quickly tend to her needs.

After half an hour, the best doctor here came to me. His name is Nikolai Gogol.

“Mr Santos”, he said. His voice was rough. “The miss you brought in here. She's very sick”

I was sitting at his desk while he stood there. I owned the f*****g place!

“Say what you need to say”, I told him.

“She’s having a very high fever. So we arranged for a cold bath for her. She will be dipped in for 10 minutes. She hasn't been eating well lately , because she has an ulcer. She has a bullet wound on her leg too. Fortunately, it wasn't infected”,he informed me.

“Wow”, it left my mouth. “I didn't know that a person could have so many illness at once”

“Yes ,it is surprising. We ran a few tests too and her immune system is not strong. We'll give her medications and I'll write the dosage for her”,he added.

“Has she woken?”, I asked.

“No”,he said. “Now, please excuse me let me get her ready for the submerge into the cold water”

Ahhhh, lovely fans. I'm typing furiously. I wanted to get this out of my head!

The last paragraph, I didn't know how to put it.
