The door locked behind the figure in a white suit.His hair was snow white which made him looked like an angel from afar.His crescent-of-moon eyebrows were thin and narrow. He carried an imperious nose well and his angular cheekbones carved down towards a flinty jaw. Unusually for a model, he had a manly, Samson physique. The catwalk loved the way he glided with an athletic grace without skipping a beat.

His mariner-blue eyes were orb round and darted constantly, a-gleam with delight and the vigour of youth. They were soft, Irish eyes and swam with joy. They shone brightly, like two sapphires dipped in milky pools,he walked in elegantly with a daring but charming smirk on his face.

"Long time no see Lucian" Devlin says as he walked in

So his name is Lucian?Arianna thought to her self,what sort of parents name their son Lucian? I would kindly suggest such name for a dog.

"What brought you here?You should be somewhere out there doing something meaningful instead of dropping by my house" Lucian snapped a reply

"That was harsh but I will let it slide because of this beautiful damsel standing here" Devlin says and winked at Arianna trying to flirt with her.

"That doesn't give you the right to walk in here you know,to avoid any problem I will suggest you turn your back and leave" Lucian stated glaring at Devlin

"I was planning on spending the weekend here but it seems you aren't willing to let me stay" Devlin said in a carefree manner

Arianna stood completely still watching these two men argue and fight among themselves.She was probably wondering how these two were related or connected to each other.

Devlin is a super model while Lucain is not that famous but how come they are this close that they even speak informally with each other? anyways Lucian might be popular who knows.

"What the heck is going on with you guys?why are you acting like kids fighting over candy" Arianna said almost yelling but caught the attention of the dou.

Lucian turned to Arianna with angry faces but was wondering where she got her courage from this morning. Devlin simply smiled at Arianna but in a flirting way.

"I'm sorry that came out wrong but I guess it stopped your argument" She says out loud again

"Look whatever you two has with each other should end right now and let peace lead" She says standing in between them

"He can't stay here Arianna. I can't stand his attitude" Lucain blurted

"He is only staying for three days and that's all" Arianna said looking at Lucian with puppy eyes

Lucian sighed deeply then faced palmed himself, "Fine you can stay for as long as you want but don't anything stupid, you know what I mean" Lucain yelled and Devlin smiled selfishly.

"Come with me" He ordered Arianna pulling her by the arm

Lucian frowned as he pulled Arianna with her to the second floor. Maybe he was annoyed by Arianna behavior. She was acting like as if they were officially married Lucian thought which made him more annoyed and pissed.He wouldn't settle for someone of the level of Arianna.

Arianna heart thumped harder as Lucian pulled him to the second floor. She was trying so hard to decipher the expression on his face but it was too hard. She prayed he shouldn't harm her because at this point Lucian face wasn't smiling at all.

Ms. Natasha and four other maid who was around gasped on seeing Lucian drag Arianna with him. They somehow feared for Arianna live. They knew that Lucian was a dangerous man despite having a good looking personality.Even if they wanted to save Arianna from him they dare not to interfere in their issues.

Lucain pulled Arianna into her room and slammed the door behind them.His eyes were full of rage as he glared at Arianna.

"How dare you come between us? do know how dangerous that man is?" Lucain yelled at Arianna who became speechless.

She seemed shocked about his reaction towards her. She was afriad and was crying inside but refused to show it. She never imagined marriage to be this way.Even though they aren't married at least they are somehow in a relationship right?

"You realize that we aren't married right? and I didn't bring you in because I love you anyway,we signed a contract earlier on but your attitude isn't favouring the contract. It seems you will be out of here before our contract comes to an end" He frowned

She felt a sharp pain Peirce her heart. She couldn't understand what she was feeling at this time. Every bit of Lucain words created pores in her heart increasing the pain she felt .

"It's either you play along for these three months or you are out of here" Lucian said before leaving the room.

Arianna couldn't believe her eyes; she thought Lucian was joking when he said she was a collateral for her parents debt.Her heart bleed realizing her parents could do such a thing to her.

(Arianna's parents home)

A girl about same age with Arianna walked into the house holding a parcel in her hand.She grinned widely as she entered the living room. She suddenly became tense as she saw Arianna parents sitting quietly in the living room.Her smile faded away on seeing how miserable they were.

"Where is Arianna?" The girl asked

She became more worried when no one answered her question.She walked closer to them looking at them with inquisitive eyes.

"What happened to her?" She asked as tears threatened to escape her eyes

"They sold her off" A boy who was around the age of eleven stood up and answered her.

"What do you mean by they sold her off?" The girl asked looking confused

"They sold her to the richman who threatened to destroy dad's shop,dad couldn't pay off his debt so–" He didn't finish before an elderly one yelled at him

" Is this true? why didn't you tell me when you know my dad could help you out?" The girl asked almost in tears

"I'm sorry Ella it's all my fault, I should have at least let you know" Arianna father said not daring to look at her face

"Where is she now?" Ella asked looking determined

"She is currently in Queens, you shouldn't try to interfere the man is too dangerous" Arianna mom replied

"That's a more reason I should bring her back,is she with her phone?" Ella asked

"I'm sure,but please be careful don't–" Ella didn't wait to hear what the man was saying

Lucian bumped into Devlin as soon as he was exiting Ariana's room. He sighed deeply trying to calm himself down.

"Oops! I didn't hear anything" Devlin says with a smirk
