Chapter Two

I am rudely woken up by a rough tap on my shoulder. My nose is immediately hit with the smell of nature. I look outside the window to admire the natural green grass till, of course, one bodyguard pulls me out of the car. He tried to caress my palm but Wallace shot him a very scary look.

"You sleep too much. That will not be a problem moving forward. But it is such a waste. You are really hot..."

Before he could say more, Wallace came and pulled me gently from his grip.

"Know your place here. Keep your filthy hands away from her, or else I will chop them off myself."

With that, the bodyguard let me go. Wallace then ushered me out.

"Welcome Princess" he says to me.

I look around and admire the beautiful cottage that laid before me. it was big and made of black wood. outside of it were about 6 parked black cars and there were Men in Black almost everywhere.Each of them armed with an AK-47 gun. I felt my heart race as I tried so hard to calm down but all my efforts did not pay.

Just then, Wallace grabbed my arm and draged me to the house. I was in awe when I got in. It had a big ruby Chandelier and servants were everywhere. Something was cooking in the kitchen. The floors and stairs were made of marble. Seems like he had enough money to spend and waste.

"Brother, I am back." Wallace annuounced.

Almost immediately, the wonderful aura was replaced by a dark one. The air turned cold and my hair stood on end. Everyone froze in position and the whole place went silent.

Just then, a man started descending from the stairs. He was tall and built. He had tattoos for sleeves and another creeped to his neck. He had a black official shirt on, sleeves folded and first and second button open. His arms were hairy. His hands were in the pockets of his black slacks. He was wearing a golden, diamond laced watch. I looked up to meet his eyes and I felt my heart shutter. He had cold, expressionless grey eyes, a defined jawline, and although he was young, his beards had strands of silver.

Although he was stunning, his aura spoke death. Fear preceded him and he literally screamed power. I looked down almost immediately we made eye contact, and a drop of ice cold sweat dripped from my forehead. He slowly came down and with every step I resisted the urge to try and run.

"Look at me." he growled as he came closer to me. He had a very heavy Italian accent and a scary voice to top it off. I can't even stand straight near him and now he wants me to look at him? I wish I could, but my head was way too paralyzed to even move.

"I don't like repeating myself. I said look at me." He hisses.

I instinctively look up at him and for a split second, he was amused. Then it vanished like it was never there.He then turns to Wallace.

"Where is the money?"

"Agustus didn't have it so he gave her to me Instead. What do you think?"

He then says something in Italian and then turns to face me.

"Do you want to go home, or do whatever I tell you to. I am not forcing you to. Choose wisely." he asks.

"I want to go home." I reply without hesitation.

"The door is open. you can leave."he tells me.

"My men will escort you to the Church. You have my word."

Just as I was about to leave he turns to Wallace and says.

"Gather the men. We are going to burn it down."

I stand first, then turn back.

"Wait. I will do anything. Just please don't burn down my home." I say.

" Do you know what you're getting yourself into? There is no turning back." The man says.

"Whatever you say. I will do."

"Good. Follow me."

I follow the man and he leads me to a room. His aura gives me the creeps and I can't stop shaking. I think he notices because he gives me the stare and I freeze instead.

"This is you're room. Stay here until I send for you. Your clothes are in the closet."

With that, he left.

I sink into my bed and finally let out the tears I feel I have been holding on to for a long time. As I cry withholding nothing, my chest starts closing in and my oxygen supply reduces to almost zero. I start wheezing. I fall out from my bed and start crawling to the door. My vision gets blurred, but I manage to see someone walk into my room. It was the guy. He carried me in his arms and I promise I would have tried to jump out if he wasn't the only choice I had.

He laid me in the bed and puffed my inhaler to me twice. I then shut my mouth and intake the medicine.

"Are you okay?" He asks, with an indifferent and cold tone which was clearly evident in his eyes. I nod and he ...

Leaves.

Just like that.

I sigh heavily and decide to at least make myself comfortable in my allocated room. It was a huge grey themed room. It had a beautiful view of the green trees, and a balcony with a chair. I had a walk in closet and a make up table, with a huge mirror. There was a toilet and jacuzzi inside. It was already prepared for me. I know I shouldn't be getting comfortable, but I needed to relieve my stress and I could use a relaxing bath right about now.

I slowly removed my attire and folded it nicely and placed it on my bed. Since there was nobody in the room, and my towel was already in the bathroom, I just walked naked and let the breeze hit me. I slid into the jacuzzi and laid my head to rest. I started to think about my life and how it had taken a sudden turn. I just relaxed there for about an hour, then decided to get out of the jacuzzi, lazily though.

When I walked out of the room, I was met my a lady old enough to be my mom, arranging my clothes for me. She saw me then turned to me with a smile.

"Well hallo dear?" She asked with a Scottish accent, just like Wallace.

"Hallo, Who are you?"

"I am Elizabeth. Your personal maid."

"Oh, I don't mean to be rude, but I don't need a maid. I am okay..."

"Actually when master Raul says anything, that's final. He said that I should prepare you for lunch. In the next ten minutes. It is good that you're done bathing. Now please try in those clothes while I prepare your make up."

I sigh and put on the dress he has apparently prepared for me. Honestly, it was just a plain black, knee length flair dress with laced sleeves.

Simple.

Although it looked like I was going to a funeral, it was wonderful.

Elizabeth then applies nude make up on me, but highlighted my green eyes. When she unfolded my hair, she stayed silent fore a complete minute.

"What is it?"

"Your hair ....How....It's lovely. What tribe are you?"

"I don't know completely, but Egyptian is what I can say."

We continue to chat until the air is filled with his aura again. Raul walks in and without a word, Elizabeth presents me to him.

He doesn't even look moved. He just takes my arm into his and we head downstairs.
