~Third person POV ~ "Listen Angie, I'm busy right now. Can you save whatever it is, for later?" Lexis says with a bored tone. "I only wanted to..." She pauses when William approaches them. "Mom? What's going on?" He asks as he approaches them. Lexis turns to William, "You should get a hold of your mom, she's really acting strange. She irks me." He cringes. "F**king shut up Lexis! Don't you dare refer to my mother as an insignificant person, you hear me?" Lexis sighs, "I have to go handle some important stuffs." He walks pass Angie but pauses and turns around. "Angie?" Williams mom turns to him. "We can talk later, okay?" He says to her like she's a baby. Angie smiles, "Oh really? Thank you." William clenches his fist in anger, "Mom! Stop this!" He groans in frustration. "Don't say that William, he's the underboss." Angie hits his shoulder lightly. William shut his eyes and storms away from his mother. He was already glad his mother remembered who he was today and now, she has to ruin it by clinging on Lexis like a baby. "Will! Will!" His mother calls after him but he didn't stop. The fact that his mother became like this over the years really makes him frustrated. She is suffering from dementia and tends to forget things a lot. She believes whatever people tells her and even believed when Lexis told her, her name is Angie. Their father treats her like trash and Lexis just treats her like a baby, an insignificant thing. His father does not even regard their mother as his wife or a member of the family since she has become sick. Most times, she would only sit in the room staring at nothing in particular while there father would insult and treat her like nothing. And Lexis, he seems cool with the whole thing of course. He definitely enjoys his mother being this way. Lexis could probably be happy his mother has become like this because of the things she did to him and his mother in the past. "You just wait Lexis." He says to himself before walking away. ********* Lexis drives over to his house and enters his mansion. He goes over to his room and takes off his suit. He drops them on the bed and stands in front of the mirror looking at his hand he got shot at. It is bleeding again and the gauze is already soaked with blood. He must have injured it again when he slide below the animal to inject it with the syringe. If not for the fact that he wants to know what the girl is up to, he wouldn't have bothered. She's just... very intriguing. After having his bath, he applies ointment on the surface of his injury before wrapping it with gauze again. He takes out a loungewear from the wardrobe and puts it on. He calls Robert and he appears in his room in a flash. "Welcome underboss." Lexis nods, "Has Stephen come to treat her?" He asks rufling his hands on his hair. "Yes underboss, but he says he would be back." Lexis nods and walks pass him leaving the room. Robert follows him from behind. "Where did you put her?" He asks as they both walk through the passage. "At the third guest room underboss." Lexis walks to the direction of the room and opens the door. He turns to Robert who already follows him inside. "You can wait outside." "But..." Robert tries to protest but stops as Lexis glares at him. He walks out and closes the door behind him. Lexis walks over to the bed where Kemi lies, sleeping. He stands staring at her before taking a look at her leg and sees that it's already been treated. He crosses his hands on his chest as he stares at her. She's the same girl he had seen when he went to Dankaka few weeks ago. He had gone to monitor the casino that William is handling over there and that's when he saw her. Some men were harassing her in front of the casino while she was trying to sell some products. He was expecting her to scream and shout like every other girl would do but to his surprise, she stood her ground and kicked one of the men on his manhood while telling the other one that she would feed him to the birds if he doesn't leave. He watched her leave with a woman who he assumed to be her mother. He would have investigated her since she caught his interest but women were his least priorities. He was surprised when Erica told him that she was the girl William brought in as exchange for the debt her father owes. He's not one to care about trivial things like that. This isn't the first time girls are brought here as exchange for their family's debt but he just feels something's not the same with this girl. He got info that William was ready to auction her off so that means, he didn't bring her in for himself. He just have the feeling that William is up to something and it has to do with this girl. To find out what's going on, he would have to keep a good watch on her. She could be of good use to him later. Kemi slowly opens her eyes and she circles her eyebrows around the room wondering where she is. ~Kemi's POV~ I could see a figure in front of me but I can't make out the face as it's blurry. I blink hard and open my eyes wider. A gasp escapes me when my eyes meet his. How come he's here? Where am I? He tries to sit up but my leg is not having it. It hurts so much that l wince in pain biting my lips hard. He stares at me without saying a word. It is as if he is studying my every movement and waiting for what I'm going to say. I lie on my back staring at him without saying anything. If I do, I might just end back in that dungeon. The feeling alone send my shiver down my spine. "Why did you come into the VIP suite?" I hear him ask me all of a sudden. How many times would he ask me that? What exactly does he want me to say? "I...I wanted to see you. I have already told you that." He smiles and bends down pressing his hand on the bed beside me. I gape as his face is now so close to mine. I gulp hard staring at him as I wonder what he's going to do. I know I said he is good looking but he shouldn't dare kiss me. He grins at me and then his finger touches my neck, he moves my hair away and I shift nervously. His hands goes from the sides of my head and down to my neck, then to my shoulders and down to my hands. What is he doing? He grabs my hands gently yet firm, places them on top of me and pause. I shudder not knowing what's he's going to do next. As if noticing my fear, he places his hands on mine. He didn't say anything but only looks at me without blinking. What does this man even think he's doing? I close my eyes and take a deep breath and suddenly, he kisses my shoulder; I flinch shifting away from him. He runs his lips on my skin towards my ear, but doesn't quite make it that far. I tilt my head impulsively and he bites me gently. How many men are going to kiss my body in this place? What are they turning me into? I try to move away but he presses me down with his hands grinning at me. His right hand grab my left hand and he takes it up and places my open palm on his chest, and he holds it there. Wait, does he think that's what I need right now? He stares at me and his brown eyebrows scans me like he is searching for something. I stare back at him wondering what on earth he's going to do. I move to drag off my hand away from his chest but he holds it tight. He smiles, his lips forming a straight line and he lets go of my hand, he runs his fingers through my hair and pulls my face closer to his with forcefully. Wait, is he going to kiss me? I swear I will bite off lips. This people cannot keep using me for experiments. I pull my face away from him hand and rest my head back on the bed. He slowly leans towards me lowering his shoulders with his hands pressing on the bed. I press myself down to the bed trying as if trying to hide inside the bed. As he leans closer with his lips almost touching mine, I push his face away with my hands and manage to quickly sit up ignoring the pain in my leg. "What are you doing?" I glare at him. I hear him scoff, "Wait, what did you think l wanted to do?" My words get caught in my mouth. If I say anything now, he would use it against me. That's what he did when I entered into the VIP suite too. I guess he's very smart or I'm way too dumb. "You...You were coming close...close to my...to my face, so I thought you...you.." The remaining words gets caught up in my throat when he suddenly brings his face close to mine again pressing his hands against the headboard slat. He looks at me without blinking and he moves his lips to my ears. "You thought I what?" He whispers before moving his face away from my ear. I couldn't say anything but stare at his face. He obviously knows what I'm talking about but he's still asking. He slowly pushes his body forward into mine again. And before l know it, his lips brushes mine. My eyes widen in shock and I try to pull my lips away but he grips my neck pressing my lips harder to his. His other hand moves down to my waist and he grabs it pulling me up. He slids his hands to my butt and squeezes it hard. He forcefully takes my hand and puts them around his neck. He kisses me harder and just when he opens his mouth use the chance to pull away. I remove my hand from his neck and sit back on the bed glaring at him. He grins and wipes his lips with his thumb. "lt's obvious you enjoyed that. " He runs his finger on his lips. "Isn't this why you wanted my attention?" He scoffs. "Well if that's what you want, too bad I can't give it to you. You're not my type and besides..."He shakes his head. "You can't even kiss properly." I breathe out heavily trying to catch my breath that he just deprived me off. I stare at him blinking my eyes as a grin creeps on my face. I lift myself up kneeling on the bed while he looks at me in puzzle wondering what I'm going to do. Taking him by surprise, I stretches up to him and grips his neck pulling him down to me. His eyes widen in shock and it grows wider when I press my lips against his. I move my hands to his hair and runs my hand on his rough curls as I deepen the kiss. His hands suddenly grips my waist and he pulls me up by my thighs and I wrap my legs around his waist. He squeezes my butt and slids his tongue in my mouth kissing me roughly. I respond back with same speed before biting his lowerlips pulling it lightly. Suddenly, I stop and pull away, confusing him. I move away from his hold and just before he could say something, I slap him hard on the face, shocking him. He turns to me with widen eyes as I stay kneeling on the bed breathing hard. "Did you think I wanted to kiss you? I just wanted to show you, that I can kiss properly and I'm sure you enjoyed that." I sit up and look at him in the eye. I should be getting a slap or maybe worse any moment from now, so I remain on the bed waiting for whatever he's going to do but all he did is stare at me with his eye balls rolling about looking at me. "Did you just hit me when you were the one who kissed me?" I didn't say anything but lower my eyes looking at the bed. Okay, what did l just do? Oh God! Can't you think before doing something Kemi? "Would you like to visit the dungeon again?" He asks with a grin. Fear runs through my veins as I hear him ask that. Why did I forget that he was the one who sent me there? "I won't 'dispose' you just yet." He says moving over to the table taking up a bottle of wine and pouring it into the glass. "You... You shouldn't send me there. I didn't come to meet you at the VIP suite because of anything bad." Please don't take me back there. "Then why did you come?" "I... already told you why." "I see, so you wanted to confirm whatever it is that you have heard?" He asks grinning at me. I didn't say anything but simply look away. "You could put it like that." "How delightful. You will be staying here, in my mansion and will do as I say." My eyes widen as I hear him say that. "I will stay here?" He didn't answer me but simply leans on the wall. "You prefer the dungeon then?" He finally asks me. I shake my head abruptly, "No, of course not. But what would I do here for you?" "You ask too many questions." I didn't say anything else. It's even better, that means I succeeded. ~Third Person's POV~ Lexus hears a knock on the door and he turns to it. "Come in." He says and Robert walks inside. "The doctor is here underboss." Lexis nods, "Tell him to come in." Robert nods and walks out. He turns to Kemi and walks over to the bed and then he places his hand on the headboard slat before leaning close to her. Her body freezes as she wonders what he wants to do. She would not hesitate to kick his face if he tries to kiss her again this time. He leans close to her ears and whispers to her. "A slut like you, should never dream of getting close to me." Her body freezes as she hears him say that before the door opens. Stephen walks inside and he stares at Lexis who is still leaning against Kemi. "Am I interrupting? Should I leave?" Lexis turns around and moves away from her. He sighs and walks over to where Stephen stands. "She will be able to walk right?" He asks him. Stephen nods, "Of course, but she will need to rest for a few days so it won't get worse." Lexis nods, "Good, I'll leave you to do your job then." He walks pass him and reaches for the door. "I will come over to your room when I'm done with her." Stephen says. Lexis nods, "Yeah." He opens the door and leaves. Stephen turns to the bed and sees Kemi looking down at her hands. He walks Over to the bed and draws the chair closer before sitting. He brings out his box and places it on the bed. "Hello again." He says to get her attention but she doesn't raise her head up. She only nods. He tilts his head trying to see her face. "Are you okay?" She still didn't say anything and as he tries harder to see her face, she raises her head up. Stephen stares at her and notices that her eyes are red. She smiles, "Hello again doctor, thanks for coming to check on me." "You were crying?" He asks. She shakes her head, "No...No l'm not." Stephen stares at her for a while. "You were obviously crying. Did he do something to you?" Kemi shakes her head, "No he didn't." Stephen sighs and starts bringing out the medical items to treat her leg. Kemi stares at the window as he treats her injury. Why is she crying? She really have no idea. Is it because the underboss called her slut? Or is it because she might really become a slut soon? Xoxo
