In the study…
“Leo, you’re the CEO of Ace Corporation, shouldn’t you be here, welcome the guests. Moreover Julie is your sister. You should be present in any event related to her.” Old Mr Lyle spoke.
Devian was expressionless when he spoke, “I’m the Ace, that’s why I could do anything I want”
“You….” Old Mr Lyle was so angered. “Don’t forget you’re not the only one who could be the president.”
“Huh!” Devian raised his eyebrows. “Then give him the position. I too want to see how fast he’ll bring the Corporation down.”
“You..!” Anyway old Mr Lyle knew that it was true. He was not as capable as Devian.
The extend till where Devian has expanded the company in a couple of years is worth it.
Seeing old Mr Lyle out of words Devian said, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first”
Old Mr Lyle could not stop him.
Although he wanted to remove him, he won’t be able to.
…
“It’s not safe to keep her here, boss!” One of the man spoke.
“You’re right, let’s take her somewhere else, boss.” Other man holding Arien spoke.
“Okay, take her to the park. It’s already late. Noone would come there.” The boss said
“Huh!” Arien smirked, “You think you’ll be able to do what you want to? Just wait and watch.”
“You!” The man raised his hand to slap her but then stopped. “I’ll teach you a lesson in another way.” He laughed. “Tie her and take her”
Both the other men tied her with a rope. They came here with all preparation.
But how was it possible? Devian’s security system was tough to break. They can’t bring these things inside until someone from the family helps them.
Arien knew that shouting will only make her loose her energy. There was music being played inside and she was in such a place that even if she shouts, her voice would not be audible inside.
Moreover everyone was busy in the banquet and servants would also not be present here at this moment so she didn’t shout.
Also these people were thugs, definitely they would know the art of fighting. She couldn’t face them head on. She had to wait for an opportunity to escape from them.
As decided, they took her to a park and as said, it was empty. Not a single person was there.
“You’re done girl. Along with pleasure were gonna get a good sum of money!” The man laughed.
“Jerk!” Arien shouted and struggled to get away from those bastard’s but they held her firmly.
“Here, drink this” the man pushed something into her mouth.
She spit it but the man forced the syrup again.
Suddenly his phone rang again.
“Madam.” The man said walking a few steps away from them.
“I’ll not let her leave…” he was speaking in a very low voice that Arien couldn’t hear anything.
But this was the time.
Arien kicked the crotch of one of the man and hit the other’s face with her elbow.
This was the only time.
She ran as fast as she could. She could not be caught again. Thinking that she aimlessly ran and ran.
She kept running until she hit a hard chest.
The man stood there.
“De… Devian” she looked up. But it wasn’t him.
Anyways she needed help right now. And there was nobody except this man.
She couldn’t see his face clearly but she just stood there.
“There… Are…” Arien was panting.
“Hey man!” The three men were already behind her. “Give that girl to us.” He shouted.
“Stay behind” the man pushed her behind and stood in front of her.
“Gentleman” one of the three spoke “give her to us and we’ll let you go.”
“You’ll let me go?” The man’s cold attitude gave shiver to them.
“Boys beat him!” Saying that the three jumped over him to hit him.
“Huh!” He laughed and turned around to Arien.
Arien didn’t understand, “isn’t he going to….” She just peeped and saw several guard beating the three.
Looking at that, Arien sighed and then she fell down with a thud with her hands tied together.
He crouched down and patted her face. “Hey girl?” He called untying the rope.
But got no response rather her face was hot.
“Luke” he called picking her up.
“Young master” Luke came at the fastest speed.
“Get to the car” he ordered.
“Yes” they walked to the car.
“To the house?” Luke asked.
“No, I won’t take her to my house. Book a room in the nearest hotel.” The man ordered.
Luke did as ordered. “Since when did young master started meddling in others business?” He thought, but soon after looking at her face he understood.
In the hotel.
After placing her on the bed he said “Her face is hot. Bring over someone and clean her up.”
“Yes Young master.” Luke said. “I think they might have drugged her”
Hearing this his body became stiff. “Then we’ll not leave her alone. If something happens to her, we’d be responsible.”
“Yes Young master” Luke actually was not shocked.
Since the time his young master has seen her, he has kept people to follow her secretly outside.
Even today, he was informed by his men that they saw her with thugs in the parks.
Not knowing her name or her background. Even if he could know them all by himself, he chose to meet her as a normal person and not as a young master.
His business was the second most published and prospered after the Ace Corporation. He could get anything he wants but he chose this way to approach this girl.
Luke couldn’t understand why he wanted to do this, because with his mater’s current status, any girl will be ready to climb up to him.
But he chose not to tell her about his status. His master would have his own plans.
He sat there and looked at Arien’s red face.
She blinked and then opened her eyes.
“Devian…..” He heard a faint voice and saw her getting up.
“Lie there” he pushed her back on the bed.
“But…. I’m…. ” She spoke again but her strength was drowned and she wasn’t even able to talk properly.
The man then got up, “I’ll let someone bring you food. Don’t move until you’re completely recovered.” He said walking out.
