2 Chapter 2

On the street, in the middle of the road where the four black Mercedes were parked , blocking other vehicles from going through.

Anybody who had any complaints about them blocking the road and being a hindrance immediately sealed their mouth shut when they saw the eight to ten, heavy- built strong men in matching black suit, stepping outside of their vehicle with a strong, intimidation aura surrounding them.

Those who knew better turned their vehicles around after seeing this scene as they didn't want to get involved in any sort of brawl.

All the men, in black suit went to the last Mercedes car, parked at the end of the row and bowed their head, like soldiers waiting for their King's command. Amongst those men, one man came forward who looked like the leader of those men and knocked on the window of the car.

Inside that car, at the passenger seat, was a man, sitting cross-legged with the aura of a King. His appearance alone was seductive. The man's rugged features were alluring. His raven black hair, which glistens in the sunlight illuminating from the window of the car, was combed back and his face carefully structured. As if God had moulded him just to spoil others' eyes. The cold blue eyes of the man were full of intensity. He had a Roman nose and a thin pair of lips that was in a form of a smirk. His tight jaw was an angular shape that was filled with little stubbles. The man had on a white cotton shirt with a silky grey vest and a pair of black pants, which tied everything together.

He smirked and pulled the handle of the car while stepping outside with a deadly aura like that of an Underworld King. And how could he not, after all he was one of the most wanted Underworld King of Country D- Alex Rodriguez. With a height of 6 feet 6 inches, he didn't seem lanky though. On the contrary, he had the perfect body similar to that of an Adonis. His lips were pale and thin and his nose slender and rounded. A prominent jaw curved gracefully around and the strength of his neck showed in the twining cords of muscle that shaped his entire body; strong arms, bold thighs and calves, a firm chest and abdomen. He was an Adonis among the other men who each pale in comparison.

"You know what to do." Alex gazed across the group of men with his icy cold blue eyes, freezing them with just a look. His eyes appeared to be reminding them about the punishment they would suffer for committing a single mistake.

"Find her and bring her to me at any cost. Remember I won't be so forgiving this time."Alex concluded and shifted his sight to the apartment as if feeling the stare of someone.

"Yes Sir!" the men replied, all the more adamant to complete the task perfectly after being reminded of the cruel and ruthless nature of their boss.

The men turned towards the apartment across the street, near the sea and started approaching it, being cautious not to inform the lady of their arrival while being on the lookout for any traps, learning from their previous mistake.

Meanwhile in the apartment, Aleina was breathing heavily after averting her eyes from looking at the monster, her tormentor. She was sweating profusely, with her limbs shaking just from the sight of him. She soon reorganised her thoughts as she knew she had to be strong to save herself and Aurora and sprinted towards her bedroom.

Her bedroom was not that big, it has just enough space to fit in a single size bed, a small wooden cupboard for her clothes and window on the left side of the wall which opened up to a small balcony and an iron staircase which was for emergency exits.

She immediately opened the window of the bedroom and jumped on the small iron platform balcony and turned around towards the bedroom. She pressed a small button on her smart-watch, closed the window and went down the iron staircase, waiting for the show to begin.

Mrs. Mary had already taken Aurora outside the Apartment building through the front door entrance of the building, covering Aurora's body with a blanket and setting her in the stroller. Despite of the cold sweat from the fear of being caught, Mrs. Mary's face was calm and she looked like a grandmother, out for a stroll with her grandchild.

She passed right through the group of men without arousing any suspicion, and went straight to the underground parking a block away from there.

"Thank god!" Mary breathed a sigh of relief at being safe after getting inside a second-hand brown sedan car, already arranged by Aleina as planned. She removed the blanket from Aurora's body and relaxed a little after watching her sleeping soundly, unaware of the battle her mother is going through.

Half of the men entered inside the elevator, deciding to reach the apartment by the elevator, while the other half along with Alex took the stairs in a bid to cover all routes of Aleina's escape.

"Fuck!" the men inside the elevator cursed when the elevator stopped working due to a malfunction, but what they didn't know was that this was all Aleina's execution.

"BAM!" Alex along with his men had just reached the first floor through the stairs when they heard a sudden explosion in the second floor. They ran upstairs towards the source of that clatter, when all of a sudden; another ruckus resonated through the corridor of the second floor staircase to all the floors.

By the time Alex arrived at the second floor entrance, his were stuck to the stairs, which was covered with a gooey, transparent, sticky liquid almost unnoticeable at first glance. His subordinates thought their master is going to wreak havoc over their incompetency and were ready to hear his exasperated voice but they all snapped their neck towards their master, when they heard him laughing. His laughter was not at all alleviating their uneasiness; instead they were petrified after listening to his hysteria. Alex peered through her group of incompetent men towards her apartment and in a pure hostile tone, he mocked

"My sweet Aleina, you never cease to amaze me huh."
