You monster!!

Tory was in fear, with a broken arm and a bleeding head, she was sure the men would kill her now, if they could kill a little innocent girl, she was next.

She lay on the cold hard floor, still in her short black dress from the day she had been kidnapped, her heels had fallen off somewhere in her uncle's house or maybe in the jet. She didn't know what day it was, she was more starved than she had ever been and had even managed to eat the inedible bread she was served but no water.

Anytime she recalled little Tracy, tears always well up in her eyes and she'd sob and she knew she'd join her soon.

But Tory wanted to live. As she thought so, she heard the sound of the door being unlocked, then footsteps of men walking towards her. Tory pretended to be asleep, she lay still and harmlessly waiting.

"Arrgh!" She kicked the face of the man that tried to lift her up.

Of course, she learnt how to fight while in college, she learnt self defense mostly because of her brother, but here it was coming in handy.

"Get away from me!" She literally tackled two men with one arm and her bleeding head, both of them hitting the floor one after the other.

But her victory was short lived as the man with low cut hair, and a scar running from underneath his eye down to his jaw fought with her and strangled her to the floor almost effortlessly.

"Tigeress in the building!" Ludwig chuckled lowly in his throat as Tory was being dragged out into the well lit corridor by Loan and one of his men, her wavy brown hair was now rough and dry, she looked tired but nonetheless she was still pretty, her light brown skin might have dust on it but still her short black dress was embracing her curves in the right places, her hips, her petite breasts... "Alexander's too much of an asshole to have you."

As Tory's gaze met his deep red ones, she was immediately infuriated, the way he still looked handsome and healthy with his black hair with red tips falling over his manly jaw and well sculptured face, his towering height, the way his red shirt clung tightly to his muscles almost ripping through. He still looked hot and cool after murdering an harmless human being, this man didn't deserve to live.

Tory's spat balls of fire at him with her eyes wishing she could just rip him apart, "You monster!. You killed that innocent child! You should be ashamed of yourself! You don't deserve to live! You should be killed too!."

Ludwig's frown couldn't have possibly deepened but it did at that moment, he gritted his teeth getting offended by Tory's harsh words, he didn't know her that much but why was her words affecting him.

"Take her away now!" He ordered.

"I'm not even his daughter!. I said I'm his niece, ask him. Let me go!" She gave a sharp cry as the man holding her rough handed her broken arm.

Ludwig refrained from running to her. He frowned at Curry, the man that had hurt her and wish he could just shot him straight in the head, "be careful with her" he said and Loan's eyes met his gaze suspiciously.

Tory was dragged away to be taken care of and dressed up for Alexander. Even though Ludwig was begining to have second thoughts about it, after seeing the lady again. He gritted his teeth at the thought of the disgusting man laying her.

She was taken out of the dungeon area of the underground building under the casino and into the working area.

Underneath the cover up casino was an entire community on it's own, a community where bad things happen. The baddest of the baddest thing, drug trades, it was literally a drug port where banned hard drugs were kept, holding hostage of trafficked women- used as sex slaves for rich men and illegal clubs, illegal armoury of weapons were in abundant for sale to bandits and assassins.

Poppy, an elderly woman and also a doctor working under Ludwig treated Tory's broken arm and wound.

"You're a pretty lady, you know that?" Poppy said wrapping a cast around Tory's arm.

"Too bad your son is a monster!. Ouch!."

Poppy laughed wholeheartedly, Poppy was as Poppy as she looked, with a full mass of short hair that was completely grey, she was a negro and not Ludwig's mother. She was short and slightly chubby with wrinkling skin, she took care of the men or women that got hurt in the community.

Poppy had originally been a doctor at a private hospital in St. Saint, she eventually ended up had an affair with Ludwig's father, Lawrence, after she treated him secretly.

Poppy then killed the chief of police who was in the hospital after a minor injury with over dose of cyanide out of love for Lawrence who was almost bursted by the diligent chief of police.

When investigation was carried out and Poppy was bursted and found guilty, she fled to Lawrence who accepted her into his community. Ever since then she's been working there, loyally.

Poppy was being helped by three of the ladies that worked in the underground community, they were women who cleaned guns, got the other trafficked women ready to be used as sluts and other stuffs. They bathed and dressed Tory in a dress that Ludwig had bought himself.

Two hours later, Tory's wound had been treated, her creamy light brown skin washed and moisturized, her wavy brown hair comped and styled, her face modified with makeup, she was fed too.

She looked pretty and better again. Her hands were cuffed behind her tho.

Ludwig was standing with Loan at the back door of the casino where cars and trucks were parked when Tory was brought out with her hands cuffed in front of her with a bandage around an elbow and a plaster over her lips to keep her from screaming.

Ludwig's brain immediately drew a black blank as he set his eyes on her.
