"No..! Not my lani. I can't give her to you... she's too precious to me." Mr. walker kneeled pleading with the cold faced man in front of him.

He was owing him a huge amount of money that he was certain that he is never going to be able to pay back in his lifetime unless a miracle happens.

"Oh.. and you think my money is not precious to me too... huh?" Norman asked as he took a long drag from the cigarette caught in between his first and middle finger.

"What was our agreement, Mr. Walker?" Norman asked staring at the fear stricken man in front of him. Who wouldn't be scared of Norma de Montes? The cold hearted mafia drug lord, who had come to collect his debt.

"I... we.. agreed that if I was not able to pay you back after five years.... my daughter will be exchanged for the money..." Mr. Walker said trembling with an extreme fear.

"What did you just say, dad?" Nalani who stood at the door step asked eye widened.

She was just coming back from her waitress job only to hear the shock of her life.

"Lani...! my child.." Mr. Walker called out as he stood up and walked to where Nalani stood, taking her both tiny hands into his.

"Tell me, that what I heard is not true Dad.." Nalani muttered as she stared at her father unbelievably.

"We... l..." Mr. Walker couldn't find any suitable words to say, he couldn't only stammer. This was never the way he planned it. He never wished for any of this to happen. And he never wanted his precious daughter to find out this way.

How could he borrow money from Norman de Montes of all people.... A man who kills without battling an eye.

"Am such an unfilial father.." Mr. Walker sobbed.

But that didn't make Nalani feel any better. She staggered still not believing anything and wishing that everything happening at that moment was all a dream that she would soon wake up from.

However...

Norman sat comfortably watching the father and daughter's drama. His face showed no trace of mercy as he had planned of leaving that house with either his money or the latter.

"How much is my father owing you anyway..?" Nalani suddenly asked with a straight face as she stared at the cold faced stranger, sitting comfortably in their living room. She squeezed out small palms from her father's huge one entering fully into the living room.

However, immediately Nalani's words flew into Norman's ears, his attention turned towards her and he smirked.

His dark orbs which sparkles giving him a definite cold aura stared at Nalani. He scanned her from head to toe.

All of a sudden, he let out a chuckle which sounded dangerously sweet to Nalani's ears and she couldn't help but gulp down nothing.

"Just 500..." Norman's right hand man, Falcon said.

"500,000 dollars.." He added.

Immediately the words flew into Nalani's ears, her eye widened like a saucers.

"What?!"

"500,000?!" She screamed inwardly.

She had never seen such an amount in her entire life and she was sure that her whole family was not worth even a quarter of it.

"You are wasting my time... so are you paying or not." Norman asked directing his question to Nalani whose face was plastered with shocked and she immediately snapped her head to him.

She wanted to talk but she couldn't any words to say. The amount was just too much, leaving her to wonder when her father got that kind of money from him and what he used it for.

"Answer me..!!" Norman yelled making Nalani flinch as he is starting to loss his cool.

Immediately, Nalani walked back to where her father was as she had seen that this was no peace talk.

"Am sorry Father, but I will never go with this ugly and cold hearted man." Nalani said with a new found confidence.

"What did you just say?" He asked. His voice alone is enough to make a person shrink in total fear. He stared coldly at the petite girl who didn't show any sign of being afraid before him.

"You're the most ugliest person I have ever seen Sir" Nalani threw another bomb at him. She knew she's killing his Ego because of the reactions she got from him at each of her words.

"Lani...!"

Mr. Walker's eyes widened up as he gazed down at his daughter whose eyes locked with the strange man without blinking away in fear.

And that was it, Norman lost his cool. Immediately, he stood up. He released the cigarette in his hand dropping it on the red rug and he stepped on it. He slide his left hand into his pants pocket and stretched the other to Falcon who placed a gun on it immediately.

Slowly, he strode to where she was. His eyes glaring daggers deep into her deep ocean blue eyes as he loomed over her.

However...

Nalani courageously stared back deep into his black orbs with fear, as he trailed the top of the gun down her face. Fear gripped her when she felt the gun stop at her jaw.

"He isn't going to pull the trigger.... is he?" She quivered.

Is this how her life is going to end?!

What happened to the life she dreamt of?!

This is not what she bargained for..?!

Nalani cried inwardly as she stood like a statue. On the outside she looked like a courageous like kitten while she is quivering on the inside.

However...

Norman already saw the fear in her eyes and he smirked inwardly. At the least bit, she is scared of gun.

"You are tough, huh."He whispered but she heard him. He turned his attention to Mr. Walker stood staring at him helplessly.

In a swift motion, he cocked the gun placing it back on Nalani's forehead without taking his eyes off the father.

"My money or this thing..?" He asked calmly but anyone in the room at that moment could see the dangerous aura lingering on those words.

"Answer me...!" He yelled but only Mr. Walker's silent stifles seemed to be the answer to his question.

Nalani's heartbeat hanged as closed her eyes. She wanted to cry but the tears refused to come as she waited praying inwardly for a miracle to happen.

"Lani... my child... am so sorry.." Mr. Walker said crumbling all the hope Nalani ever had.

"well then... Take her..!" Norman immediately commanded. His bag of patience had already ran dry.

Instantly, two muscular guys came inside dragging her out. She tried struggling with them but who was she kidding! She is certainly no match for them.

"Let me go!!" She yelled.

"I said let me go... Dad!!"

She kept struggling with them with her eyes on Norman who was just stood staring at her lazily while she yelled like a mad woman.

"Tell your men to leave me the fuck alone! Get your hands off me!!" She screamed, kicked and hit them with her tiny hands. But the two guys didn't even bulge but held her tightly dragging her towards the car.

However...

She just can't possibly give up, Can she?

No..!! She can't!!

Instantly, in a swift movement she stepped hard on the foot of the guy in her right hand side. Loosing his guard, she landed a kick in his balls and she hit her head on the nose of the other one at her left hand side. But to her amazement the two muscular men didn't bulge.

"How dare she?" Falcon who couldn't stand the mad girl anymore stepped out and walked towards them. Raising his hand to slap her...

"Stop..!!" Norman's voice ranged and he halted his hand stepping away, not without casting a hard glare on Nalani who kept struggling to free herself.

Norman walked towards them smoking heavily, puffing out smoke from both his mouth and nose. On seeing him up close, she stopped struggling.

"Let you go?" He muttered staring at her coldly but she stood unfazed.

All of a sudden...

"Sspptt..!"

Nalani spat on his face. All eyes widened instantly and Falcon was not an exception.

He was certain that the stubborn woman in front of him is dying that night and nothing would be done about it.

"Let me go!! You bastard!!" She yelled again at him.

Norman heaved a sigh gently lowering his gaze , he dropped the cigarette on the ground. He slowly took out a handkerchief from his Inner shirt breast pocket and wiped his face. He rubbed his temple, giving a soft pinch on the space between his brows with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, he let out a soft chuckle and stared up at Nalani. His black orb eyes slowly turning into as deep shade of red, penetrating deep into her soul. He wanted to see what gave her the goddamn guts..

"Let me...!"

"Pahh..!"

"Pahh..!"

A fixed deposit slap landed on her both cheeks before she could make any sound. She felt her cheeks burn, reddening instantly. His fingerprints could be vividly seen on her cheeks making him proud of his work.

Before she could recover from the slap given to her. Another resounding slap landed on her left cheek, knocking her unconscious instantly.
