Chapter Three:- The future Mrs Satur?
1722 Words
"Can you skip to the important part? What do you mean by we need each other, what makes you think I'd work with you and not kill you right now?" He asks me, his words coming out as a threat to which I'm sure he intends it to.
He is right, it is weird if he decides to help some thief without a proper reason.
"You won't kill me just yet, it's time we stop the games don't you think? I can't believe it took you three days to get down here. I had to cope with these smelly henchmen of yours. I honestly feel so violated and insulted." I continue placing my hands on my chest feigning hurt.
My voice is bold now; the playful and teasing tone reducing to a more serious and confident one as my real character slowly makes its way out.
The atmosphere in the room becomes tense due to my drastic change in personality. I mean it is something they all have been waiting for, I don't understand why they seem so surprised.
I watch as Alexander let's out a chuckle, moving to take a seat back on the sofa that was brought for him.
Though stoic, his face held a simmer of excitement almost like he was enjoying the whole thing.
What a creep!
"Finally we are getting serious aren't we. It's high time you start to talk and let's start by introducing yourself. Tell me, who are you?" He asks, his eyebrows rising slightly, probably curious as to what next was going to come out of my mouth.
To him, I am a bundle of surprises. He never knows what exactly could pop out next, which I think makes the experience exhilarating for him.
"To be honest, I'm kind of hurt that you don't recognize who I am, I can't believe you let them torture me for so long, I'm pretty sure the Reuta organization won't be too happy about this" I start of, making it known who exactly I'm connected to.
Although his face doesn't change from his normal expressionless face, he tilts his head slightly to the side watching me more intently.
"Hi, as you may not know, I am Avari Reuta only child and daughter of Alonso Reuta, it's a pleasure to finally meet you Alexander Satur" I continue, watching his stone cold feature stay in place but his eyes turning calculative.
Seriously? He isn't even a little surprised by my revelation.
" You are Avari? You're Alonso's daughter?" blondie intercepts breaking the really good staring contest I was having with Alexander
And yes, I decided to call him only blondie now, though he is still cute, he is just more annoying.
"The one and only! Avari at your service, or maybe not service yet but like in your presence you know?" I reply focusing my attention back on Alexander, his silence making me uncomfortable.
Was he not going to believe me? Should I have waited a little longer?
"How do we know you're a Reuta? For all we know you could be a delusional psychopath" blondie says again
" Well, you have informants, go find out yourself. I believe it would take you less than a few minutes for a picture of mine to pop up, even though I have been sheltered most of my life" I suggest trying to rest on the wall cause I already felt faint due to all the blood loss.
Nobody says anything as blondie leaves the room to fact check and the silence remains until he comes back minutes later with a small file
Awwn cute, my information!
He doesn't particularly say anything to Alexander and just nods to which he nods back like some icky sign language stuff, what the flip does that mean?
Alexander takes the file and reads through it before closing it and handing it over to one of his many subordinates.
He stares back at me still not saying a word.
" Oh come on, your wife comes to greet you and all you do is stare, no hug, no kisses, no affection whatsoever? I'm offended, you didn't even make an attempt to reach out and see how your wife would look like. You hurt my feelings Alex, I'm hurt" I ramble, obviously being sarcastic cause I couldn't care less about anything relating to him or his opinion of me. This was me just being used to being a menace.
" The right word would be fiancee not wife, we are not married yet and that on its own is still being discussed. And why should I be affectionate towards you, let me make this clear right now that I am not interested in anything you do, how you look like, your background, anything!" He retorts the tone of his voice increasing as he continues to speak, he was full on shouting now.
Sexy.
"Ahh! You hurt me Alexander Satur, your words are like burning flames to my body...I feel so hurt and betrayed by your sentence that I could just collapse" my smile grows wider with every word that leaves my mouth as I move closer and closer towards the man sitting on the sofa.
"Cut the crap! Why are you f*****g here? Does Trevor know you're here? Did he put you up to this?" Alex asks or more like bombards me with questions.
I try not to react to hearing the name of that monster, it's been a while since I've heard his first name being called so freely without fear.
Just hearing his name only is already dragging me back to my time in that house.
No! I need to focus, I couldn't afford to go back there, if I go back he may actually have his way with me this time. I'd rather seek refuge here for now than go back to that prison.
"Calm down okay? Trevor doesn't know anything and I don't plan on telling him that you kidn*pped and tortured the only child of his late boss yet and that is not why I'm here, you're why I'm here" I answer our faces inching closer by the second.
Oh how I love this proximity! So exhilarating.
" So you're here for me? To see how I look like? That's bullshit, you went through all the trouble of breaching my system, theft, allowing yourself to be kidn*pped and tortured just to see how I look like. You don't expect me to buy that crap do you?"
"Well not anymore, but you're right you're not that important. I actually came here for a few reasons, meeting my future husband being the last and very much the least of them" if he catches my insult he pays no mind to it but Blondie beside him seems to care cause his face scrunches up in obvious dislike, which as a matter fact I couldn't care less.
"Well spit it out, I've wasted over an hour here with you and I have better things to do"
" Calm down Mr busy, you're not the only one busy you know? I literally had to leave the comfort of my bed, sneak out without anyone knowing, drive to that stupid warehouse where you found me, and let your men kidnap and torture me. I also have things to do okay, you're not the only one"
"Like what steal another sum of money from another unsuspecting organization. And let's be clear we found you! It may have taken longer than it should but our tech guys found some traces and more tech related s**t and you were found by us. You make it seem like you let us catch you" Blondie says sounding as stupid as ever
"Yes you're correct, I would have been busy stealing another set of money from another unsuspecting organization. You are cute though for thinking that you could find me if I didn't let you, did you seriously think you could find me especially with those shitty tech dudes you claim you have? That is wishful thinking" I laugh heartily for the first time since I've been here.
Blondie isn't the smartest of the bunch but he has a nice face card so I'm sure it still works out for him and that's all that matters.
"Get to the f*****g point Reuta, why the f**k are you here!" Alexander barks getting impatient by the second.
"I totally get that you're really curious but can we not talk about this here, I mean this is a serious business deal to which I came to offer personally and I believe that I should be treated like an esteemed guest. On that note, I'm not going to speak until I've been fully fed and I've had a nice hot bath with some decent change of clothing. This place smells like sweat, blood and piss, it's not very ladylike" I demand crossing my arms onto my chest.
I can see Blondie's about to argue but Alexander stops him and signals to his men to come closer
"Fine, you are after all a Reuta-"
"-and your fiancee" I add cutting him off from what he was saying
He side eyes me before continuing
"That's still being determined. But immediately after your rest, we speak, I won't hear any excuses whatsoever"
"Yes sir" I taunt with a little salute.
"Wait here while I send someone to get you and take you to the room you'll be staying in for the mean time, we should also get a doctor for your injuries, you look like you're about to collapse" He instructs not sparing me a final glance before walking out the door.
What a bundle of joy don't you think?
