Ch 5: The Agreement?

Old man Hugo banged his fist again "I know I shouldn't have trusted that family. It was all you plea of giving a chance that lead to this!" He angrily pointed at his son Eugene, who looked away guiltily. "Who told them we want their daughter! That was just a threat to keep them in check! Besides How is she even their daughter?! She's the granddaughter of my friend so how did she end up being part of their family? They couldn't have abducted some random girl to give to us right?!"

"Apparently she is the illegitimate daughter of the wife of the family head, she's not really a member of their family, that must be why they are forcing her"

Old man Hugo shook his head, he was tired of all the details "Call Devis, tell him about the situation. Nothing must happen to that girl. I promised her grandfather I'll take care of her if I see her."

Secretary Jim's face turned white. He took a few steps backwards to put some distance between him and Old man Hugo. It was obvious his next words were going to anger the Old man even further. No one wise would want to be near the old chairman when he was angry.

"I already called the young master and... and he said this..." he pressed his phone and a recorder began playing, with a word that played out of the phone the Old man's face turned Ashen. Secretary Jim wasn't even done playing the audio when a glass cup flashed past his head. Thankfully it had missed him by a few inches.

"Call that Punk right now!" Old man Hugo roared fiercely.

...

Somewhere in Axilla city.

A white car zoomed across the road in aa speed that showed only be in movies yet the driver didn't seem to care. Swerving past cars like a lightening it took only a couple of minutes and a journey of more than a smile was covered.

The car came to a halt in front of Easton Villa.

No doubt. The owners of the car was more than just a wealthy man. Anyone who lived in Easton Villa was the type of person that could have a drink with the president. Actually there were only three residential houses in the whole Villa.

"Welcome back sir" the security at the gate greeted the driver of the car through the tinted windows as they opened the Villa gate for him.

The car zoomed in and came to a stop in front of one of the mansions. The door opened and a young man stepped out. Ethereally handsome, dignified aura, Intimidating demeanor and clothed in money. He was the cold CEO type no doubt.

The front door opened and the butler was ready to greet him "welcome First Master Devon. Everything you_" his words were cut off.

"where is she?" Devon asked in a cold voice.

"just like you ordered, I placed her in the guest room" the Butler answered and began trailing after Devon who was already marching to the position.

They got to the door and the Butler walked to the front with the keys in his hands.

In the room, after crying for hours, Gwen was starting to doze off but the sounds of keys rattling against the door jolted her off from sleep. She got off the bed and picked a bedside lamp as her weapon.

The door didn't immediately open after the rattling stopped. Gisele stood cautiously looking at the closed door with anticipation and fear in her heart. Eventually the door knob turned and the door opened.

The room was dark yet as Devon walked in, he could see the girl standing at one corner of the room with what seems to be the bedside lamp. He couldn't see her face but the fear she felt emanated out of her body.

He stretched his hand and turned on the room light.

Gisele grimaced at the sudden bright light. It took her eyes a few minutes before it could finally see the man that was standing at the door. He was so not her expectations.

Grandma Andres had mentioned she was getting married to an old ugly man but the person before her eyes was in no way old. Calling him ugly would be an insult to your eyes.

He was handsome. More handsome than any celebrity she had ever seen on TV, even more handsome than the Actors she had met before. Still he wasn't a good man, his body gave off a frightening air.

As she checked him out, so did Devis. He had expected a more mature girl but she was young, probably nothing more than 20. Even still she was beautiful.

Devon walked into the room and closed the door behind him. Gisele tensed up, her grip tightened around that lamp.

"So you're the one he's so concerned about?" His cold melodic voice sounded in the room. He was talking of an entirely different thing but Gisele had misunderstood that he was talking of her father_ no scratch that, Stepfather.

She shook her head "you got it all wrong, I am not his daughter. You've got the wrong girl"

A cold chuckle resounded from his lips. "I think I got the right girl" He walked straight to where she was standing and before Gisele could think of wading him off with the lamp in her hand, the lamp was yanked away and she was also pulled into his arms.

"Let me go you scoundrel!" She exclaimed and tried to struggle but there was no way her petite figure was strong enough to break out of his solid arms.

Devon watched her squeeze and push to get out of his hand. It was nothing fascinating but his eyes sparkled in delight. He has just found his bargaining chip. From how his Grandfather's secretary had called to warn him about the girl and how many times the Old man has also called him, it was obvious she was quite important to the Old man. With her he could get what he wanted.

He laughed "this scoundrel now owns you"

"I am not your property! Let me go!" Gisele yelled back. Her eyes blazing in anger.

"Sign it" he let her go and casually dropped a stack of documents on the dressing table.

Gisele could see they were marriage documents. Did he think she was stupid? Why would she do such a thing when she knows If she was to sign it then she was officially married to him.

Even if he broke her legs and dismembered her hands, there was no way she would put her signature on that paper.

"Go find yourself another bride! I'm not getting married to you!"

"do you think you have a choice? It seems you haven't read the agreement" amongst the stack of documents he had dropped on the table. He opened the first page and handed it to her.

The agreement?

Cautiously Gisele collected it and began reading through it. Her heart sank when she saw what was written on it.
