Chapter Two

Layla woke up hours later in a strange room. The interior design of the room, screamed money.

This room had a sinister aura. I loved it and was scared of it at the same time. I can't believe my dad is dead.

I followed a stranger daftly to God knows where I am and now my head is banging me like a drum.

I needed some pills and fast.

I wonder where Neera is . And what she's doing .

Suddenly the door to this room , opened revealing the most beautiful man I've seen.

I couldn't believe a demi god was before me. Should I bow or not ? I kept wondering what to do.

He had the most beautiful green eyes and a sharp jaw and a scar running diagonally on his left eyebrow. He was so muscular.

It looked almost unreal. His hair was a jet black messy curled hair. He was the definition of beauty. He looked at me, drinking in my features.

"Hello my baby girl ?" He said in a husky, godly, seductive voice.  I couldn't talk for about 2 minutes.

When I finally found my voice , I replied

"Umm... hi..?" . He smirked at me and I blushed beet red. OMG how can this man make me blush so much.

He passed me some pills and whispered into my ears. A sudden stubborn moan escaped my mouth.

"Take these, it will ward of the headache" .

I looked at him and he looked at me and we looked at each other, as though we wouldn't look away.

"Umm... Thank you?.. " I was not sure of what to say.

I guess he liked the effect he had on me,because he smiled and I couldn't help but smile and blush back.

"You can take your bath and put on any dress you want in the closet, I'll be downstairs waiting for you " he said. He picked up my hand and placed a gentle kiss on it.

I couldn't believe what he did. He winked at me and walked away.

O?M?G? What was that ?

Was he flirting? Or was I just crazy ?

I got up and realised that I was in a white night gown.

OMG who changed my clothes? Was it him ? Oh No !! It can't be !

I continued thinking about that , until I got fed up and took my bath. I walked to the closet and saw a whole lot of clothes.

I picked up an off the shoulder summer dress and wore a hijab. I needed to at least look decent for once in my life.

I walked downstairs and saw a lot of maids around.

One maid walked towards me

"Ma'am , Master asked me to bring you to the dining room to have breakfast with him" she said.

"Thank you Miss.." I didn't know her name.

"Please call me Carla" she helped me out.

"Okay thank you Carla. But please call me Layla." I told her.

She nodded and led me to the dining room.

He sat there with 4 muscular looking men. He was more muscular than they were though'.

They were deeply engrossed in a serious conversation, so I turned my back to leave.

"Leaving so soon are we ?" I heard his voice just behind me.

I turned round and there he was , staring at me. He looked like he was trying to kiss me. He was about 6 foot 9 and was deathly handsome.

He had an evil but attractive aura around him. His smirk sent chills down my spine. 

"Ummm.... I just wanted to know your name ?" I said with shakiness in my voice.

He smirked and watched how I blushed. He was enjoying how he made me feel awkward.

"Eldar " he said.

Huh ?! Eldar ?! What's that?!

"Eldar ?" I said with a pang of confusion in my voice.

"Eldar" he repeated. Okay now I was confused. Was he talking to me ? Or someone else .

"Eldar?" He saw my confusion and sighed.

"My name is Eldar " he finally said.

OMFG how could I be so dumb ? He was telling me his name and I was just looking at him like I was the most stupid person in the world.

"Umm... okay , I'm Layla" I said . Trying to break the awkwardness between us.

"I know" he whispered seductively into my ears.

I took a few steps back and asked

"How did I get here ?"

"I picked you up from the bar. You were drunk and I had to help you out " he answered .

Okay so this demi god was  a good Samaritan?

"Alright thank you for helping me out Mr. SEXY...." I blabbered out without even thinking.

OMG I just called him Mr.SEXY ?!

He was looking at me smirking.

"You think I'm sexy?" He asked

I literally cursed myself mentally.

"Umm... sorry.  I mean Mr. Eldar. Thank you for your help. Now I should get back home . Bye "

Before I could even turn around, a man was being brought into the house by 4 macho men 😆.

He looked like he had been beaten up.

I turned to Eldar and his eyes were bloody red. He looked very angry and for some reason , it scared me.

He looked at the man being brought with hard eyes.

"Please Eldar , give me 2 more weeks. I promise to give you back your money.  Please . " the man who was being brought in , cried and crawled to Eldar's feet.

Before I could even blink my eyes , Eldar had kicked the man very hard in his chest and the man was coughing out blood.

"Eldar? What are you doing?" I asked after i saw that shocking scene.

He picked up the man and banged his head against the kitchen counter. The other 4 men who were sitting with him earlier, got up with their hands behind them watching this heinous scene with no sense of emotion in their eyes.

I rushed to Eldar and held his hand

"Eldar, please, you'll kill him. Please " I tried to stop him.

He didn't even look at me. The man who was about to get killed , looked up at me and said with a frail voice

"Ma'am please help me "

I couldn't do anything to make Eldar stop , so I  picked up a knife and stabbed myself in the hand.

I know it was a crazy thing to do but it was the first thing that came into my mind.

"AHHH!!" I screamed on top of my voice. Eldar threw the man unto the floor and rushed to me.

The man who was being beaten , looked at me with eyes that said 'Thank You '. I smiled back at him.

The guards held him whilst Eldar took me in his arms.

"Baby girl, what the fuck were you trying to do ?" He asked with and angry and worried tone.

"I wanted you to stop " I said . I  blacked out after saying those words.

All I could hear was screams of "Call the fucking doctor ".

I ignored them all and let the darkness envelope me.
