Just the two of us

"I want you to stop working for the bastard Adrian and stay away from Jason," He ordered her

Why did he have to ruin her mood with this?

They should be having fun without discussing work matters. She hissed and wanted to smack Castiel's head which was in her lap, but she didn't dare because she could be drowned in the lake by Castiel if she did that.

"Are you kidding?" she snapped

"Unfortunately, no"

"I don't want to, you're crazy" she said calmly

He sighed softly "The only choice is yes and yes" he said playfully

"That's not an option" she hissed

He rolled his eyes because of that "It is"

"You can't decide everything by yourself, Castiel," she said angrily, her brows furrowed

"I can. I always can"

His hands clenched after hearing that "No! You can't"

He chuckled darkly "Of course I can, I own you"

"Shut up, Castiel"

"No, you should shut up or you'll wake something up" he sighed in frustration

"Huh? what will wake up? your anger?" she asked innocently

"Something else" his eyes darted down, right between his legs.

Auriel's cheeks turned red and he hissed "you pervert"

He chuckled "It's your fault that you're sexy when you're angry" he said "you make me want to tame you in bed"

She covered her face with both hands — covering her blushed face "shut up, you’re so pervert"

"Allright darling" he said "but you must obey my orders"

"I can't be careless, let me think first" she said seriously

Today she is very happy. Castiel really pleased her. The scenery at the picnic spot was so beautiful that she refused to go home. However, they had to return to the city immediately because tomorrow they had to work. So she and Castiel returned at dusk and arrived home at seven.

He thought Castiel would go straight to his home, but he didn't. He went inside with her.

"I will sleep here from today"

Her eyes widened "No! You can't"

No, Adrian and Jason shouldn't know about this yet.

"You can't because you won't be free to bring other men in here" he said sarcastically

It is true.

"No, you are a dangerous predator"

He smiled teasingly "And you are my prey, kitten"

Her cheeks flushed red with embarrassment and she rushed into the room, leaving Castiel sitting in the living room.

It was already midnight and Castiel still hadn't slept. He looked at Auriel who was sleeping in his arms. After she fell asleep, Castiel opened a drawer in her room and found a sedative and sleeping pill. It made his heart rumble, Auriel was fighting a war he didn't know about. Luckily she didn't do something terrible like slashing her wrist.

He couldn't fall asleep because of it, he couldn't stop thinking. Leaving Auriel alone will be very dangerous, with an unstable mentality she can do things that scare him. He didn't want to think about it.

He looked sadly at Auriel

"My beautiful angel" he whispered softly, looking at the girl sleeping on his arms

Castiel knew very well that Auriel had been destroyed and would be very difficult to repair. Her family showered her with words that broke her mentally, he knew — he knew very well.

The first time he saw her in middle school, she was a cheerful, brave girl with a domineering aura. It was as if he was born to dominate others from the moment he was born — just like him. He had never seen a girl equal to him, except for that girl. Aurielle Mason — the eldest daughter of the Masons.

He was attracted to her since then, secretly he always followed wherever he went, watching whatever he did, including seeing him go secretly to the backyard of the school to treat the bruises on his skin. He knows everything without Auriel knowing.

He continued to do so until he graduated and entered high school. He had hoped to be friends with Auriel, but as time went on she became increasingly difficult to approach.

She who was once very popular, the golden girl who was always praised by teachers and students changed slowly — she became antisocial and preferred to be alone. She also seemed to lose her focus, she became thinner and paler and the worst part is the light in her eyes disappeared — lifeless.

That was obvious that her spotlights were stolen from her because of her sister, Natalie Mason.

Because when she dims, Natalie shines so bright.

Because of that he realized something was wrong in her family. Until he found out laters

Auriel received an award for winning the science olympiad. She was labelled as the most intelligent student. There is no doubting her intelligence. With a beautiful face, wealth and intelligence make her perfectly flawless.

She proudly ran to the back garden of the school after getting a short message from her parents. Her face radiates a happy aura. Her smile widened when she saw her parents.

"Mother, I wi–"

Collete Mason — her mother immediately turned to her "you pathetic" she said coldly. Her arms wrapped around her little sister — Natalie Mason, who was sobbing.

"But I didn't do anything"

The mother snorted sarcastically "You always want to look your best without thinking about your sister. You are very selfish"

And then Owen Mason — her father approached his family "Aurielle, you are such a disgrace." he said coldly "I'm more proud of Nata because she is not selfish like you who don't want to share" the three of them immediately left, leaving Aurielle alone — holding back her tears.

He saw it all. Including Natalie who secretly smiled in satisfaction.

At that time, he really wanted to run to Auriel who was holding back her tears. But he couldn't, he didn't have the courage to do that because he was just a stranger and also known as the devil because his elite group bad reputation — he will scare her.

But after seeing the drastic changes experienced by the girl, he regretted it. If only he had always been there for her, maybe Auriel wouldn't have lost his light. Auriel lost his friends, one by one his friends became Natalie's friends. It was obvious in his eyes, that Natalie was trying to snatch everything was hers.

She made it.

And after that, Aurielle was like a beautiful living doll.

Until the first year in college, he began to make friends with two young men. He knew very well who they were, Adrian and Jason — they both come from dirty families. There was a possibility that they approached Auriel just for profit and he hated that very much.

Because of that, he stopped following Auriel because he couldn't help to see her together with the two geeks without getting angry. He couldn't possibly beat up Auriel's two friends or else she would hate him. So he focuses on growing his family business and his group – slowly forgetting about Auriel.

Furthermore, his group was famous — they were called a bunch of demons who were damn rich and powerful but cruel. He was so happy — until he heard the news that the eldest Mason was kicked out of the house for the attempted murder of her own sister. The Masons would not take her to court and instead, she was expelled. In addition, she was labeled as a murderer by everyone.

He who at that time was happy because he and his elite group were at the top immediately exploded. Instantly he felt guilty for not paying attention to her anymore. Luckily with the help of his group, he managed to clear Auriel's name but failed to get her back with the Masons.

He still remembered about Auriel who was pathetic and penniless. But again — again he was too late to help him, he lost to Adrian and Jason. But he promised to make Aurielle his. Sooner or later, willingly or by force, she will become his.

He formed his group to strengthen the business to become invincible. The Berkshire family itself was already very strong, but by forming the group they would gain a lot. Like he can watch over Auriel and he can teach the Masons or Adrian and Jason a lesson. As he did not long ago.

With the wealth and power he has, Auriel will live happily without the slightest torture. There will be no harm to her. He will only give her happiness and pleasures.

"Please hold on for a moment, I will return everything that should be yours" he whispered softly and kiss her temple
