she's mine... so I'll do whatever I want with her!

The man bow and left. when he got to the room where Ella was locked up,he was surprised to see that she was still alive. Ella just laid down and used one of her hand as a pillow her body was already very weak.

"Hay!" the man called out.

Her eyes were weak with no single light in them. Her sexy pink lips had lost it color to pure colorless and her hair was a mess.

Looking at her, even the man felt sorry for her and he wondered why because he had killed a lot of people and showed no mercy.

But looking at the once beautiful creature was now looking very lifeless he don't think he can muster any mental health to kill her.

The man named judge reluctantly walked towards her. He had no idea how he would handle this situation or what to say to the poor creature that was on the floor.

"What are you doing, kill her already" a man that stood at the doorpost said.

Tears slowly rolled down her eyes to her nose.

So she was really going to die like this? She don't get the opportunity to say goodbye to her siblings? the three of them came to this world together at the same minutes and now, she was leaving without them.

It was too painful to think of. how could her siblings live to know that she's DEAD

"Haven't you killed her yet? what is taking so long!" And that voice could already tell her who it is. She tried looking up and saw a lean figure with cigarette in his hand.

He smokes!

She was surprised, 'if he really smokes then why is he handsome?' she thought to herself. "We.. was about to begin.. boss" judge said. "Hmm, you better be quick"

"Yes boss" maximus walk to where Ella was. He slowly bent down, taking a long drag from his cigarette he blow the smoke in her face. She hated cigarette with passion and she couldn't stand the shocking smell of it. She immediately hold her breath but his was too late. She cough out the irritating smell.

"Finish her up immediately" maximus ordered.

"Yes boss" the other guy said bringing out his gun to shoot when a female voice echo from behind. Everyone spun around to see Isabella.

"don't you dare!!" she yelled.

Maximus took the last drag from his cigar and throw it on the floor. Stepping on it with both hands inside his pocket, he walked to where Isabella was.

"Why?" And that is when Isabella saw that there was no wormth in his eyes at all only coldness and loneliness. The little wormth she put there has all vanished in tin air.

"Because I own her"

"Isabella!!" He shouted her name. Bella swallowed hard knowing that he had never call her by her name.

"Why are you angry? don't tell me you like her now" she mocked and his anger intensified.

"Kill her!"

"You won't dare!"

"Isabella Lysander!"

"Maximus Malcolm!"

She was also angry now. she brought Ella here so she has to take responsibility for her even if it cost her life. If she let Daniella die she will feel guilty for the rest of her life. 'maximus Malcolm? hmm not bad, huh' even in the verge of death Ella can't help but admire the name. She find their argument entertaining in the ears.

"Seems like you are tired of living" maximus said to bella.

"No, it's you who is lonely and tired of living that's why you kill for fun, am I wrong?" Isabella retorted back and anger was consuming maximus.

"This is non of your business so leave"

"Like I said max, she belongs to me"

"No she's mine... so I'll do whatever I want with her!" His eyes was bloodshot as his glared at her.

Isabella let out a mocking laugh that inked maximus to the core.

"Did you hear yourself? Max, you own nothing just wealth and nothing more than that. Don't you know? You're boring and lonely! did you ever wondered why nobody loves you? It's because you can never be loved with your stony heart, you're a monster! and nobody is ever going to love a monster! haha, you're cursed" maximus couldn't hold the anger that was now mixed with pain. He grip Isabella delicate neck.

"T.. that is..why everyone w.. will shower you with hatred" she manage to say from her throat.

The pain maximus was feeling was consuming the anger in him so he let go of Isabella and went outside followed by the men. Isabella smiled triumphantly. She quickly went to help Ella.

"Am.. fine" Ella said. her throat as very dry and she had lost her voice due to lack of water.

"How can you say you're fine?" Isabella panicked.

"Am really fine" Isabella helped her up and together there walked out of the room.

'you guys could have argued a bit longer! I was enjoying it' she wasn't pleased by the sudden end of the argument she wanted to know more about maximus loneliness. She don't pity him for one minute. How could she possibly pity someone who wants her dead!

Wait? What about his mother and father? Maybe they went for a vacation.

She speculated. She was happy that she could get to see her siblings one more time.

Isabella helped her to her room. She went to the bathroom and take a hot shower and after eating Isabella personally put her to sleep.

When she woke up, she has regain her straight but Isabella was nowhere to be found.

How could she leave her here? what if the bad guy comes after her?

She found a note on the bed that says.

(Don't do anything stupid. Am in my mansion at anytime and this is my phone number... If you need anything just give me a call..)

"Nonsense" she cursed.

Knock -knock

"Come in" she said. It was Serah.

"the young master asked to see you in the sitting room" she informed.

"Huh?? M...m..mm..me?" She stammered.

"Yes" and with that serah left. Ella has terrified.

She has to call Isabella!! She just escaped dead not too long ago and now.... No no no! Isabella has to come.

She want to the sitting room and saw maximus sitting on one of the gray armchairs smoking.

"Maidi" he called out.

"S.. sir"

"You're a very disobedient child"

"..." ?????

His face was as expressionless as ever with his thick black hair that fell on his forehead. It was black and nice and she felt the sudden urge to run her hands through them. She immediately scolded herself.

How could she think such a thing now?

"Am sorry" she don't want any more trouble.

"Hmm, you should indeed be sorry" he said finally diverting his gaze to her.

"From now on you have five good solid rules to follow" he informed.

She swallowed hard. she isn't the type that broke rules so she wasn't scared to face rules.

"What are the rules?" She asked.

He smirked triumphantly "good question"
