7

I woke up early because of the alarm system of the room I slept in. I was almost breathless at the beauty of the sight that greeted me when I opened my eyes. The room was covered by a very thick glass from floor to ceiling. it gave me a spectacular view of the rising sun above the green forest and the blue waters falling from a nearby cliff. I feel like I'm in paradise.

Has he arrived? I thought. Even though I was still enjoying the view, when I left the room, I was greeted by the staff. they gave me clean clothes and took me to the dining room where there were different breakfast dishes, some of which I couldn't name from which country and what kind of cuisine.

"By 9am today, the helicopter will take you to the capital, Mr. diMarco will meet you there. If you need anything I'll be right outside, now please enjoy your breakfast Miss." the blonde woman said to me politely.

I'm not used to this kind of entertainment, so I'm a little lonely. but I just went with the flow, I don't know where all this will lead. I can't read what DiMarco's brain is running, but if I wanna survive I figured I will have to play his games submissively for a time being.

the helicopter landed that took me to the rooftop of one of the tallest Towers in New York City. DiMarco Tower is the center of almost all businesses in the entire state. Can you believe it, I happened to stumble into the hands of one of the most powerful men in the country. I can't even tell if this is a blessing or a curse.

Several of his men escorted me to his huge CEO's office. Every single corner of the room exudes power and control. And he's right there in the middle sitting like a King.

"Give me 5 minutes. I'll just sign some documents then we'll go to the hospital. By the way, I transferred your mother to my hospital--"

"Wait what? You transferred my mother without even consulting me? you don't know anything about her situation, just how crucial is every movement for her, she might have died during the transfer and yet you didn't tell me??"

He didn't seem to hear anything I said. He just looked at his watch and looked straight at me. "We can stay here all you want arguing about insignificant things, but just as you know, I've checked on your mother's condition, if we didn't operate on her within two hours she'll die. My hospital has all the equipment to do the surgery so I took the risk and had her transferred."

"The risk, you understand about the risk yet you didn't even bother to let me know.."

His mouth formed into a thin line while his jaw went rigid. " I have to tell you something lady, I have a very low tolerance for people defying me, if you want your mother to survive, shut up your feisty little mouth or I'll instruct my people to cut off the cable that's giving your mother life."

I was silent when he said that seriously. I have a feeling that he will carry out his threat if I open my mouth. I was nervous when he stood up and approached me. Every time he approaches within a one meter radius, my internal organs are throbbing with nervousness. He stared intently at my face. he reached for my cheek and slowly ran the back of his palm there. I gasped when that hand reached my lower lip. This man was one hell of an intimidating killer beast. He had the feral aura of an animal, so stunning yet so dangerous.

"I like you when you're being beautiful and quiet.." he whispered. "The only sound I wanna hear from you is when you're screaming for my name when I'm fucking you.."

My mouth dropped open in anticipation. Even though I know I shouldn't I can't stop myself from staring into his eyes. they have a strange sparkle like a magnet that invites my soul to enter his dark and dangerous world. "I'm not your playtoy Mr. DiMarco..." I managed to hiss under my breath.

He brought his face closer to mine. I was forced to turn it but he grabbed my chin and made me face him again. "You'll beg for it someday, I promise you.."

The thought of me begging for him to fuck me was not really a good idea. I can feel the muscles of my legs tightening as I try to control the sensation it brought to my center core.

"And please stop playing the role of a stupid inexperienced virgin cause that's not really my thing. You react to my touch like a hungry sex-starve wildcat. that's what I see in you, and that's what I like in you, so you can stop the act now and just be yourself."

Hungry sex-starved wildcat? It rang to my head like a giant church bell, the pain in the ears. What did I do to him for him to have that kind of interpretation of my personality? yeah right, the night we met. I laughed to myself, who would think you are a sane woman if the first time you meet you almost take off your panties for him.

"I wonder how many old wealthy men have gotten in that little pleasure hole of yours just to get near the famous crime syndicate boss. Was Mr. Choo the last one? We're you also planning to seduce the Masked Wolf himself so you can get what you want?"

I blinked. I shouldn't be affected by what he says but why does it feel like all my muscles are being squeezed? "I don't know what you're talking about.." I whispered.

He just laughed and then let me go.

I swallowed all my pride. even though I wanted to argue with him about that, I didn't. "I don't know how you do it but you seemed like a very powerful man, save my mother. Maybe you can ask the Masked Wolf himself to do it for me.."

he just grinned at me then took out a sharp and thin scalpel from his pocket. That's the thing that doctors use in surgery. I gulped when he applied that thing to my neck and played with it. His wrong emphasis will make my blood sizzle. "I'm a neurosurgeon myself Ms. Cabrera, I don't need anybody's help to save your mother. I want you to owe your everything to me... including your mother's life."

"Why?"

"So you won't be defying me anymore."

He is a doctor. A good doctor. because this doctor is too high-profile he only handles a few patients and those are the biggest people in the world. Including the Russian President and the German Chancellor. They are the most powerful world leaders for crying out loud! someone like Jandrix Alexis DiMarco is the kind of person you don't want to fight. Is that why the others didn't do anything when it was his turn to bid for me? Could it be that no one tried to increase his offer?

after a few hours of waiting I stood up when I saw him come out of the operating room. He was still wearing a medical gown and removed the cap wrapped around his head. He was sweating there. "How is my Mom?"

"We successfully removed the pin inside her brain. she's still under high sedation, it'll take say a week for her to wake up..we need to monitor her body's reaction to the medicines as well."

My knees trembled. "Will she be alright?"

"We did what we have to do. All the patient needs now is to heal himself."

I just nodded. I gasped when he touched my cheek and squeezed it lightly. Suddenly I saw the gentleness of the beast. His eyes seem to be telling me not to worry. My lips parted at his simple gesture.

"Take a rest." he said.

"Ah. Mr. diMarco.. It's Monday today, I still need to go to class.." you don't know how embarrassing it feels when he's all hot and successful businessman-slash-neurosurgeon while I'm still a freakin lousy achieve-nothing college student .

"Sure. I'll take you to school then."

My eyes widened. wait what? Jandrix Alexis DiMarco taking me to my school today? He better not show himself up to the other students or there will be a stampede in the whole New York University. My heart was suddenly filled with excitement. I didn't know about any of his plan, I didn't know what it means to be his possession but I'm definitely excited of the thought of him possessing me..owning all of me.
