I climbed downstair_my mouth watering from the fragrance of the food arranged. The dining table was simply behind the stairs_I essentially followed the aroma of the food while shutting my eyes.
When I got to the dinning hall he was already there_he was sipping coffee from a very small cup with his eye shut tightly.
I swallowed-ignoring the sudden flutter in my chest I walked to the dining.
"Good morning." he said looking up at me, his nose still buried in the teacup. I nodded unable to form any words. "Come here." He said.
I strolled directly to the opposite end of the table and sat down there. I needed to be as far away from him as it was conceivable.
The dinner table had twelve seats. We were the only ones seated now. I've counted six armed down men in total but there were no security cameras in sight.
I presume that the security cameras were kept, that they weren't there, but I could not let them deceive me too.
There was no way in hell that there weren't security cameras lurking around somewhere. I knew this to be true even if I had no proof of its truth.
We ate peacefully as I ate up the luxuries before me. If he didn't want to talk to me then i didn't want to either. Thankfully the food served as a good distraction for me.
I glanced around to check whether there was any way I could get away. Our eyes met and tension started to flow to my heart. I tore my eyes away from him and watched my food.
"Xue Er. You would prefer not to set out again to chain you, isn't that right?" He inquired.
I gazed toward him to see that in spite of the fact that he looked and sounded delighted he was in reality not at all interested by what I did.
I shook my head in response.
"Good girl. Do not test me again and behave or I would punish you so badly." He said. He looked away from me and then poured himself another cup of coffee.
My heart was beating so fast now that I felt that I was so close to having a panic attack. I started to breathe from my mouth doing my best to keep him unaware of my beating heart. I took a sip of coffee and all but choked. I coughed severely with my eye watering.
He ran to my side when I won't stop coughing. Then he patted my back up_down with mild force until I stopped choking. "Thank You." I said.
He didn't reply. He simply watched me intensely. He was telling me to breathe and I did as he ordered.
"Accompany me Xue Er." He said pulling me up from my seat. I stopped hearing him call me Xue Er like that felt odd. I could hear the craving in his voice. I could hear the desire in his voice. His call was more of a summon and it shook me deep down just hearing it.
"What is it?" He asked turning back.
"No_no_nothing." I stuttered. My legs automatically started moving on it's own-as I was afraid to piss him off.
"Good." He said.
He led me to the room and sat me down on the bed. He looked over and started pacing.
"What is it?" I asked after a few minutes already disconcerted. My eyes were starting to turn as he was going around and round and round.
"Nothing." He replied.
"You took me out of the dinner and brought me here just to tell me nothing?" I muttered more to myself than him.
"Oh please just keep quiet already!" He shouted. I pressed my lips together stopping myself from roaring in anger. He was still pacing when I heard gunshots. A stray bullet came through the window and almost hit me.
I ducked immediately running to the side of the bed. He covered me with his huge body pulling me under the bed. "There is an attack let's go." He shouted pulling me out. My heart beat stopped and started with a thump.
"From the police?" I asked.
"No, they won't dare.I don't know from who. A rival gang who hasn't learnt their place. Fuck I'll kill all of them! It can't be Hua Ling can it." He bellowed.
Downstairs twelve men were already gathered in the parlour. Armed and waiting for his orders. Viper started to pace again getting more agitated.
"What the hell is going on!" He shouted.
"Boss I had no idea but it looks like Hua Ling has caught on to the fact that you have taken another woman. I recognized one of her assassins. This is just one of her jealous raving. I can't believe that she is doing this again.
"Damn that ingrates. I let her head one of my business and she turns my boys against me. When will she learn that she is just a servant that works for me and nothing more! I will show her no mercy. Let's go!" He ordered gesturing with his right hand for his boys to follow him.
He took out a gun from his pocket as he led the men out. "Take my woman inside and lock the door." He said to the housekeeper. "And make sure she doesn't leave this place. If she does I will have your head on a spike after I had killed everyone you have ever known. Do you understand me?!" He said.
"Yes." She nodded in fear.
I watched as they entered the Suv's ready for battle.
