DAXTON

MMm. I heard her moans while she is stretching her arms right beside me. It's the very first time I've slept with someone on my bed. I've never had such a peaceful sleep after Liam's death. My arm holding her waist feels her soft little belly under the dress shirt. She moves a little and turns to check whom she is sleeping with. I instantly close my eyes, trying to hide my excitement, I can imagine her shocking and embarrassing face. I bet she didn't remember a single thing of last night. It's my turn to play with her. She had done enough last night.

She pushed my arm away and started looking for something maybe her clothes. I checked her slightly by opening my eye a little from the side and she is anxiously moving back and forth in the room.

Showtime. I open my eyes slightly so that she doesn't feel any suspicion. Though I know she is quite smart and I don't believe in clairvoyance but I can't explain how girls ended up knowing things either.
Maybe their sixth sense. God knows.

"What are you doing? Come here" I tap on the bed playfully.

Her cheeks turned red and her anxiety reveals from the way she is rubbing her hands. "Did we--". She pointed a finger at me than towards herself.

"We What?" Aha, this is fun. It's been so long, I've never had fun besides shouting, cursing, and ordering people.

"Never mind" She throws her hand in the air and grabs her dress from the floor with her foot fingers like a pro. Her mouth dropped when she saw her torn dress. I couldn't control my laugh, she is so cute.

She glances at me with the corner of her eyes. I raised my arms in surrender "That's not my doing"

"Did we do that thing?" She asked embarrassed while looking at another side.

"The Thing... Thing .. Right?" I simpered while asking her to raise my brow. she instantly nodded. "Yeah, you were begging for it". I winked.

"What? No!! No!! You're lying right?." She laughed slowly by placing a hand on her forehead which slips to her mouth.

"Uh-huh, Then how you'll explain this" I take little steps towards her.

"First, how you end up in my dress shirt which you look stunning in it.
Second, your ripped dress.
Third, you just woke up in my muscular arms". Trying to hide her long legs by pulling the shirt which is obviously of no use. I placed my hand on one side of her face while her back touch the big mirror where my other hand slips on her waist pulling her closer. Her breath hitched. "Tell me Olivia how you are going to explain these things".

"I-eh- er- That's not possible". She finally finds some words to remain in the game. But I'm not letting her win. Not this time at least.

"Why not? Is there any reason behind that? Do you like someone else?" I played with her strands which are bouncing on her red cheeks while my other hand twirled the hem of the shirt. Her chest rose back and forth in anticipation of being touched by me. I love how my touch makes such drastic changes to her. I whispered in her while licking her earlobe a little, her body shudders. "Are you wet?"

"What? NO". Suddenly my phone started ringing and she slips from my sight in a blink of an eye.

"Mr.Devil. We need to go to the Office". Running from the room she said. She stops before the pair of bags in the hall. I asked jade last night to buy some clothes for her.

"Yea, I'll call you later".I said on the phone while checking Olivia who is staring at the number of clothes in front of her.

"Mr.Devil". She shakes her head." I mean Boss. Are these clothes for me?" I kinda started liking it how she called me Mr.Devil just like that. "Of course!! Do you think I have a deep desire to wear these skirts?".She chuckles.

"But..!!"

"If you want to wear Catherine's ripped dress. Choice is yours". I wink and she pouted turning her face towards the clothes again.

"Nevermind".She picks a white dress shirt and a check grey skirt.

"Well, I have something which belongs to you. Wait!! right there!!" I make my way towards my closet. Looking for a lacy thing. Ah!! Yeah. Here it is.

She is standing behind the kitchen slab swaying on dua lipa's 'No lies'. I heard this song in one of my clubs. I knew what customers like to hear mostly teenagers though. How come God made such a masterpiece. She is a pure goddess who is swaying right in front of me and am enjoying every freaking part of it. Am I the luckiest here?

Indeed I am. I rub my hands while I swing her lacy cloth in the air and her jaw dropped an inch. She rush towards me and snatched the cloth from my hand.

"That's my bra". She flustered.

"I know"... I examine her eyes flicker more than a usual person. "What are you doing with it?" She scoffs.

"Well, it's not my thing to wear of course. Lemme remind you, you forgot it in my office". I pointed my finger at her brain maybe she could remember.

"Aha, .i thought mom threw it somewhere". She smiles sheepishly.

"Why don't you have some omelet?" She tries to change the topic so I let her. I already mock her a lot.
I sit on the stool near the kitchen slab. Where she passes me an egg omelet and a glass of orange juice. Crosses her fingers excitingly, nervousness depicts on her face. I chew the part slowly and it's the best omelet I ever had. Wow, her culinary skills.

"Delicious as you". slips from my mouth and she pouted and her red rosy cheeks say it all. "Mr.Devil, you haven't tasted me yet". she said with confidence leaning on the slab. "Why don't you let me then".I said with a devilish grin on my face.

"Aha!! Gotcha".She laughs. "I knew it, nothing happened last night". She grabs her clothes and walks like a Queen as she owns the world. Indeed she is a Queen for me. But damn how she got me so smoothly.

(*Time skip*)

"Let's go".I said looking at my watch while Olivia ticking her heels coming towards me. " We are not going together," she said while rolling her eyes.

"Don't be childish. We are going to the same place. Why not?" We are getting late why she is acting like this. Jade is waiting, we need to execute the plan.

"That's the point. You are my Boss". without even listening she walks past me. "I need some air". She left me there. The best part is this worked. I knew it, Olivia will not agree to us going together to the office. I texted Jade immediately. "She is Coming".

THIRD-PERSON POV

Alfred goes back to the apartment holding a bag full of alcohol bottles. Just a usual day for him, spending the night at the pub and coming back to the apartment with a bunch of bottles. Before he unlocks the door. Police capture him for the kidnapping of his daughter Olivia white.

Alfred was shocked by the sudden change of atmosphere as he was enjoying his time in California and things are working according to his plan. He laughs and denied the accusations.

But when he saw Daxton, he feels suspicious. How it ended like it, Daxton asked him to take off the charges against Olivia yesterday, and here he is convicted for Olly's kidnapping. Something is not fitting up.

Daxton showed his phone that he got a text from Alfred as he was asking for a ransom to release Olivia and Alfred threatened him if in any case, Police got to know about kidnapping then he is going to kill her. Daxton dropped the bags on the road and police checked the leather bags which have millions of dollars.

Alfred defended it as he didn't send any message. But unfortunately, he is trapped as a text was sent this morning from his phone as well.

Alfred was scared for a moment when he saw a dangerous glint in Daxton's eye and a malicious smirk on his face.

We have a search warrant the officer said. The police officer asked for keys and Alfred handover him proudly as there's nothing he should be afraid of. The officials searched the place and they heard a vague voice from a room which is locked. They smashed the door lock with a bullet and saw Olivia's arms and legs tied on the chair and a cloth tied in her mouth. 

Daxton pushed officers and run towards her. He untied her hands and legs and remove the cloth from her mouth immediately. His heart clenched when he saw her quivering lips as he knew somewhere that he is betraying her. She fell on him and he picked her in bridal style. This time she doesn't even resist for once.

DAXTON

She suffered because of me as it was for a few hours of pain. Jade was there for her protection but she didn't know about that. God knows how much she was scared during the kidnapping. I heard her screaming from afar but Alfred need to be gone from her life permanently this time.  No matter what would I do for my loved ones eventually they suffered.

Alfred ran towards us pushing officers but Olivia turns her face and try to hide in my jacket instead of facing him. Instantly, police officers pulled him away but he tries hard to getaway.

"Betrayal comes from the one you love the most. Remember that Olly". His voice faded as the officer pushed him in the car and take him away from her forever. She is hurt because of me but I will never let anything happen to her again. I know it's quite unfair that Olivia suffered but I know she would never agree on this plan. After all, he is her father at the end of the day. How much Olivia shows that she hates her father but somewhere down there's still a place for him in her heart.

She looked at me with these confusing eyes but I smiled at her.
