One week had gone by.

Melanie hadn't taken her bath,a bidet wasn't far, that's what she used to do her business.

Her eyes were glassy,she look pitiful. She tightened her lips into a thin line. "is this how to take care of your hostage,God I stink",she wanted to cry.

 The CEO was outside of the room preparing himself mentally,on how to approach her.

He had gotten information, she just came to dutch. He had ruined someone holiday,he thought,he felt bad. Well she heard the wrong information, that's also a reason he had to keep her here.

He entered the room, harrumphed.

"mgh! I am so sorry Miss Archer,I would like to  compensate you ".

he paused,and removed the chains that had cause marks on her hands and legs.

Mel balled her fists and gave him a chilling look mixed with relief and tears.

Reporting him to the police crossed her mind,but this wasn't her city,he dominated this place and some under world. 'No! reporting Is not gonna work ' she said to herself.

She raised her first like she would hit him

"I would hit you" she said,but dropped her hand, tiredness was written all over her.

He led her to a villa.

3 hours later.

Mel came out smiling,it was visible,that she had eaten well,took her bath. They even gave her the most expensive cloth and shoe to put on.

"Aaah"(smiling)

then she snapped.

"are you human at all! when next you abduct someone treat them nicely ".

"next? you got it all wrong miss Archer,I'm not into abduction "the man explained 

"tsk,pfft!" she sized him.

"Miss Archer, about the under world, may I buy your silence?" he asked,not as if he was asking,it was like he was giving her an only choice.

"After everything you've done,are you threatening me?!" while raising her voice 

"no.." he answered calmly 

"Anyways,I would like two wolves and panthers,a male and a female"she smiled and flashed her thick lashes.

"For my silence,that car" she pointed at a sport car.

The owner was Mr z.

The scarred man cocked an eyebrow at the CEO. The CEO sighed"Let her have it, I'll replace it".

Mel got her animals,she put them in her car,waved and drove off.

someone spoke up,he was one of the men in that meeting.

"heh! Z loved that car,now it's gone" he laughed.

"Xander!"the CEO glared at him.

"x is right,you gave my precious car away,how will I bond with the new one,I didn't even have enough time to say bye to it" Z deadpanned.

The CEO sighed, massaging his brows "who bonds with a car?!!''.

Somewhere in Dutch,a girl named Zazina sat in front of her dressing table. She did a final touch to her makeup and smiled at herself from the mirror.

she was going to give her boyfriend a surprise visit. she wore a bright smile,picked-up her purse and headed for his house.

 

On getting there,it was a 30 mins drive,she knocked but no one answered,to her surprise the door was opened.

"weird, Marco don't leave the door open" panic set in her eye, seeing the living room state,she didn't want to overthink things and rushed inside,her heart beating fast and her eyes turning glassy,fear settling in her heart.

she shook her head.

"stop thinking negative" she whispered to herself.

She opened her mouth to yell Marco's name but stopped short,when she heard a familiar sound,from the kitchen.
