After Emma gone with the buyer. Scary man entered the room.
"We are about to leave. All girls are sold." said the scary man hurriedly.
One of the women couldn't control and ask.
"Who was the last buyer"
"Don't talk about him. we are not supposed to reveal his name" said scary man with fear in his eyes.
"But who was he" said the other woman.
Scary man look towards the door and then again look to the women. "He was Edwin Williamson " said scary man in hushed voice.
Both women gasped with hands on their lips.
"The heir of williamson groups? " a woman asked again with shock.
"lower your voice, they are just outside, if they hear us, our entire universe is in danger." said scary man, with terror in his eyes.
"this is not our business now on, just take your money and leave." he said again.
Edwin's POV
It was a beautiful morning, when I woke up. I have to leave the country for some business meetings. Everything was arranged already. It'll take two days and then I'll be back.
I got ready and took my leave. When I landed there, I immediately told my assistant to confirm all the arrangements one last time.
"You sure you don't want to rest befor the meetings sir ? Alex asked me. he was my assistant but also a friend and well wisher to me.
" No, I don't need it. Make it fast Alex." I replied.
" But you've just arrived and it'll take a bit longer sir" he opposed as he cares for me. But I play hard sometime to him.
"Do as I say." I used my bossy tone.
He nodded.
We headed towards the meeting place, directly from the airport.
I attended the meeting and successfully handled everything.
After the meeting, I went to the hotel room, which was already booked for me. I entered the room, loosen the knot of my tie and sat on the couch. It was a long day. I was checking my schedule for the next day, when my phone rang. It was my elder brother deniel.
"yes" I said in a cold voice.
"You reached there Ed. All good?" he asked.
"yes" I replied.
Then he started to talk about some business stuff. But I felt incapable and apathetic to carry on that conversation, so I tried to hang up as fast as I can. I just wanted to eat something and doze off, as soon as I can. As I have a long day tomorrow.
Next morning, I woke up and got ready. When I was taking breakfast, Alex called, and told me about some delaying. I deplore this kind of snobbish attitudes of people. I always make it a point to be punctual.
"what the hell Alex" I snarled at him.
"it's a client boss. He had something urgent at last moment." he tried to explain.
"I don't care Alex, call them. Call them all at the time fixed earlier." I told him strictly.
"but boss...." he tried again, but I cut him off.
"do it" I commanded and hung up on him.
I was so angry. Those people, those dumb asses want me to wait for them. Don't they know how important that meeting for the business. It's time to teach them a lesson. It was imperative that everyone understood the rules so that this would not happen again.
I storm out of the room and went to the meeting place. When I entered the room, it was filled with tension everyone was there, looking at me with scary eyes.
"Who wanted to delay the meeting" I asked while putting both my hand in my pocket.
Alex pointed towards one of the man who was in his late forties. I recognised him, he is one of our new clients, Mr carter. May be that's why he don't know about my nature and tried to piss me off.
"so tell me Mr. What was more important for you, than this meeting" I asked him straight.
He was looking nervous and didn't reply.
"speak" I shout out loud.
Everyone in the room filled with fear.
"I....... I have..... to buy something. It was... Important." he said difficulty.
Seriously!!!
He wanted to delay a high profile business meeting, to buy some crap !! What can be that worthy. Is that man out of his mind !!
"get out" I ordered him.
He stared directly to me shockingly.
"Please.." he started, but I cut him off.
"Out" I repeated again, with fire in my eyes.
He was looking pissed and scared both at the same time.
"But sir...." he tried one last time.
"you want me to insult you more in front of all ? " I said in a cold tone.
His face turned red because of embarrassment. He looked all around one last time and then left.
I called Alex then.
"Buy the crap, whatever he wanted so desperatly."
I want to snatch that thing from him. Which he thought was more precious than my time. Everyone should have a lesson to not mess with me.
Then I attended the meeting and proceed further.
When I was heading back to the hotel, Alex called. I picked up
" boss" he sounded a bit disturbed.
"what" I asked.
"you told me to buy the thing Mr. Carter wanted to buy."
I remind the incident from the morning.
"yes"
"it's not your kind of a thing boss"
" just buy it, no matter i use it or not"
"But boss..... Thats not the thing.."
"Do it Alex " I ordered.
I was just about to hang up when he interrupted me.
"l will boss. I will, but you have to take a look first" he said desperately.
"please boss" he pleaded again.
"Fine. Send me the location" I answered.
Then I told the driver to take me to the location.
When I went to the place. Alex show me the thing that brait wanted to buy. I entered the room. It was dark but clean. I saw some men and two women stand there bowing their head. Then I saw her. I saw a girl lay on the bed. She was around twenty.
I was shocked.
It's a girl. He wanted to buy a girl..!!
It seemed like she was unconscious. But still she amazed me. she was laying like a goddess there, she didn't look in good condition but don't know why, i felt attracted towards her. I want to see her more closely, touch her, hear her voice. I want her to be all mine.
And that moment I realise that, If I don't buy her and left, then any other bastard like Carter will buy her. And the thought of her belong to anyone else, make me even more acquisitive.
Without any more thinking, I told Alex in a firm voice
"Take her"
Alex made sure that those criminals would not drag my name in this trade and keep it secret. No doubt He used the money and power both in the process.
Alex was stupefied. when we were heading to the hotel.
"think again sir. she is a girl. A human. How can we buy a Haman" he tried to convince me.
But I was unable to think anything else except that innocent face.
" just take it easy Alex. " I rerorted
"But sir its a crime" he look worried
"crime is already done by those kidnappers. I am just saving her from the other predators. I don't want her to be ruined by someone like Carter. If I left her there definetly someone else would buy her. Would that be good for her" I said him in a strong voice.
He didn't say anything then.
"Make some arrangements to take her to L. A. We are going back tomorrow" I ordered him, and he nodded.
In L.A.
I woke up in the morning, when sunshine was dancing on my face, made its way through the glass door of my room. I went back to home last night, and so lazy to go to work today. I
I called Alex to tell him, that I am not coming office toady.
Then he told me about the girl.
Oh yes. I left everything on Alex to take her to L. A. And didn't even ask again about that.
He told me that, he dropped her here last night. And then I hung up.
I remind that incident now. And her face came in my eyes. I met so many girls before, way more beautiful than her, but the way she captured me, no one did before.
I came out of my thoughts when Nia, my maid, entered the room. She brought my coffee.
"good morning sir" she said with a smile.
I nodded in response.
She started pouring the coffee in the cup.
"Your guest has arrived, last night." she said while handing me the cup and giving me a weired expression.
"Where is she?" I asked, while taking a sip of my coffee.
"In the guest room downstairs"
Of course, I was eager to see her again, but that doesn't mean I can show my childish emotions to everyone.
After Nia left the room, I jumped out of the bed and made my way downstairs.
I opened the door of the guest bedroom slowly, in order to not disturb her.
She was laying on bed quietly.
I stepped in, and took steps towards the bed. She was as beautiful as yesterday.
I saw her closer than before. She has bruises on face and hands. Her lips were dry and also some cuts on them. Obviously she struggled to be free and those animals handled her harshly. Her face was as pale as a dead body. And eyes were closed.
Wait a minute...... She is not sleeping, is she?
No she is not... She is unconscious. But how can she be unconscious for that long.
I took a step back. And called my doctor immediately.
