CHAPTER 3

　　"I'm leaving." I said without looking at him. I have too many problems. At school there was bullying, hurtful words, profanity, my money problems, and the payment for the dorm I rented. Now here it is, another problem again.

　　I don't want this kind of life, but I have to continue to live. I have no choice.The truth is, I don't know what happened to my parents. If they left me? If they deliberately left me on the street? I really don't know.

　　Why didn't I just live a simple like everyone else?

　　I hugged myself as I came out of the club with my shoulder bag.

　　I'm wearing a black t-shirt and shorts. I just let my long hair be blown by the wind. Sometimes the wind can also relax the inside.

　　"Ready?" A baritone voice startled me. He looked at me from head to foot and I immediately trembled at his sight.

　　I sighed and nodded. "Y-Yes. " My God, Please guide me now. Whatever the consequences of my association with him, I leave it to you.

　　He opened the front seat door for me so I bowed when I approached him and got into his luxurious car. I am almost felt the warmth of his body when I approached a little.

　　What it feels like to sleep next to him? His body feels so warm.

　　Damn! I bit my lip at what I was thinking. He immediately turned around and got into his car too.

　　This was first time I rode in such a beautiful car, it was delicious and fun to feel. The two of us didn't say a word. I just squeezed my palm because I was so nervous. Why did I come with him? Shit, I feel like I want to back out!

　　I bit my lip and sighed.

　　"Uh, where are we going?" I asked and looked at him. He's really serious and intimidating. His face that was always grumpy and serious. Just now I also saw that he had a tattoo on his arm.

　　His eyebrows are thick, his eyes are deep and the tip of his nose is on the right place. He is very handsome. .though always serious and frightening. This one doesn't seem to know how to smile.

　　I saw his arms ,it look so strong and can break a bone! I don’t do anything but to mesmerize with how handsome he is.

　　"In my condo unit." Huh! I almost gasped at his answer. His condo unit? What are we going to do there? It's twelve o'clock at midnight already!

　　I fell silent suddenly and before we finally went to his condo he bought something at a twenty four hours store.

　　I think it's food. You know what? If he's with you, you'll almost die of boredom.

　　He was very serious.

　　“How old are you?" I heard the depth of his voice.

　　My chest immediately throbbed at his question. Maybe he'll sue me if he will know about my real age? Huh? I took a sharp bite on my lower lip. I don’t, I have to lie.

　　"Nineteen." I simply said.

　　"Nineteen?" His brow creased and shook his head. "Your age is too young for that kind of work." I almost choked on what I heard. I'm only seventeen. If for him the age of nineteen is young… What if he will know that I am seventeen huh?

　　They can't blame me because I need money. I have nothing to look forward to but myself. I work at that bar. I'm used to it. I am used to the hurtful words I heard from people.

　　Almost every day at school…I want to cry I want to get angry. But I hid everything. .I'm numb so I can do everything to survive.

　　I looked around in amazement at the whole of his condo. I could see a mixture of black and gray in the color of his condo unit. The whole room smelled like a man.

　　I could hardly breathe and swallow with so much nervousness. He gestured to me in their dining area so I followed. He dropped the food there and arranged everything.

　　"Eat .." He said to me and gave me a chair to sit on.

　　Thank goodness! I was hungry. I nodded and sat. He first took a pitcher of water and poured water into my glass.

　　"Stay here, I'll be right back." He said without breaking the stare. I really think he's weird. Some wanted to convey his thoughts that I could not get.

　　"Gosh!" I mumbled. Seriously, I can't imagine it. He's so quiet and scary. I looked around. It was so quiet. How many women has he brought here? I know that because if he goes to the club sometimes the woman he was with is different.

　　My heart suddenly pounded. It's like being squeezed. Why? But I almost choked when he came back wearing only white and sweatshirts. .I don't know where to look at his chest that peeked out and I can see the fur there and I know it's hard or in his face to look at me badly?

　　His jaw tightened as he saw me looking there. So I bowed to the food. Shit. Think straight! Maria! I know you are stupid. But even now just think!

　　"Uh I'm done uhm .. thanks. Can I go home now?" Embarrassed and stunned I said it.Fuck! I'll just get home right away? You fool Maria!

　　He smirked and approached me. He sat in the chair next to me. I almost lost consciousness when he pulled my chair and in a flash I was very close to him! My lips felt sorry for what he did. Oh my gosh!

　　"What's your name again?" He huskily asked. He's looking at me intently. He looked me in the eye again as if looking forward to my answer. .that he seemed to want to hear my name pronounced.

　　"M-Maria Isabella." I mumbled tremblingly. I want to faint now!

　　He bit his lip so hard. "Again please." My lips parted as if hypnotized by his gaze.

　　I was swallowed. "Maria Isabella."

　　He lick his lips and sigh heavily. "And you're nineteen?" He asked. I bit my lip and nodded. Shit! I'm only seventeen. Thank you because my face has matured.

　　I was almost electrified when he touched both my thighs.

　　He clenched his teeth. "I paid you. You're mine now." he insisted that I almost startle.

　　Oh no! I thought .. I thought .... He's nice! Oh gosh! It turned out to be a playboy too. Like his friends!

　　I didn’t know I was going to celebrate or be depressed! I want to close my eyes and stare like everything is just a dream but not ! I have to face it.
