Maida relationship with the mafia boss naturally changed after that. No longer questioning whether or not the man was attracted to her, Maida purposely became more seductive. And because Zed Easton no longer held himself back to her seduction, he willingly falls into her allure. As if making up for the years of lack of intimacy, the two lovers lose themselves to passion nearly every day. For Maida, she deliberately distract the man from work whenever she could - as if getting back all those time where she supposedly failed to seduce him. She didn't know that Zed Easton had been holding himself in check for her sake.

"Little devil fox..."

After the woman shamelessly delivered an empty cup of coffee and sat on his desk facing him with her dimples smiles, Zed Easton slowly stood and put his hands on either side of her. Leaning forward, he lowered his head slightly to capture her lips. The aftertaste of coffee in the woman's mouth let him know that she had drunk the cup that was supposed to be for him.

"You've become too brazen," Zed Easton spoke huskily even as Maida unzipped his pants the same time he pulled at her mini skirt.

As soon as Maida kissed him, Zed Easton drove forward, taking her deeply as she sat on his desk. The two fall into their usual round of lust and desire which continued into the connecting living quarter. By the end of the day, the two sated bodies tangled with one another in the massive bed. In the silence of the bedroom, Maida cuddled up against the familiar warmth and sighed softly as Zed Easton's arms held her protectively. When she felt a soft kiss on top of her head, she lifted her face to look into the dark gaze. Now that the man no longer stops himself from touching or looking at her, she could see the desire and affection in his eyes.

"Beautiful..." Zed Easton suddenly said in a low, deep voice.

Surprised, Maida continued to look at him until a smile spread upon her lips.

"I'm beautiful?" Maida mouth the words. "Liar... if I'm so beautiful, why did you never look at me before?"

Even in the dimly lighted room, Zed Easton could read the words on her lips.

"You were only a child..."

Maida could only roll her eyes. Meanwhile, Zed Easton studied her face while his hand languidly stroked the soft length of her back.

"Why did you have to be born into this filthy world?"

His sudden question startled Maida. Staring into the man's eyes, Maida could see the vacate eyes - ones which she made her feel uncomfortable to see. Wanting to erase such eyes, Maida lifted to kiss his lips tenderly.

"Why did you have to be born into this filthy world?" Zed Easton held onto her tightly as he repeated.

Lifting one hand to touch his cheek, Maida smiled, flashing the set of deep dimples.

"This world has you in it" Maida mouthed carefully, wanting the man to see each word.

Although he couldn't hear the words, his soul was still stirred by them. Pulling Maida close, Zed Easton kissed her deeply, suddenly needing to take and have her. Maida willingly let herself be taken by the passionate man even though she was unaware to his intense desire to possess her entire soul.

Later that same night, Maida woke up alone in the bedroom. Figuring the man was in his office working, Maida made her way to the bathroom to shower. Everything had been typical until she walked out the bathroom with only a towel around her body to see two men. She recognized one man was a Gobi member who had recently been promoted in status. The Gobi has a complicated hierarchy system where there are multiple cave dens throughout Malum. Maida know the largest den is where the mafia boss and the most capable and high-ranked members reside. The man standing before Maida was someone who just recently lived in the main den for three months. Problem is, even Zed Easton's right-hand man not dare to step inside the mafia boss' private living quarter, yet someone who was new to the den was boldly standing inside the bedroom. Therefore, Maida was shocked.

"Maida..."

Maida had not recognized the other man until he said her name. Erin Le - the male lead of the story had infiltrated the Gobi's lair. If the protagonist Rosie Zoua had been there, Maida would understand why the male lead felt the need to infiltrate. But Rosie Zoua was safely in her golden fortress city. Why in the world would the male lead feel the need to sneak into the Gobi's lair? Maida could not scream for Zed Easton. She was not even given the chance to run. From beginning to end, she did not see the third man sneaking up behind her. When the drugged-dipped cloth covered her mouth and nose, Maida fell completely unconscious.
