SARAH

Uncertainty filled up my mind as I let Melissa drag me through the dusty path of the forest, the dry branches crunching under my feet, the usual pulpy smell filled up my nose, my eyes blindfolded.

"Can you please remove this blindfold? Its getting irritating now."

"Patience sweetheart," Diana said from somewhere, as Melissa held my hand tightly, walking me off somewhere.

I was out in the forest with Keven, as it had been long I went there. My lungs and body needed some fresh air, and the forest was truly the best place. It calmed my nerves and as much as I didn't want to admit, but they were jumbled up for a few days.

So serene, so calm and so peaceful.

But the tranquility was broken by the sudden yells of these monkeys. Diana and Melissa came running into there, to blindfold mee a  said, 'A surprise is waiting for you.'

I was honestly not interested in the surprise, cause whenever I got a surprise back, after coming here, it had always been something which had always resulted in me, loosing a lot of tears.

"Okey, we have entered the mansion, and now we will directly take you to your room," Melissa said merrily.

We kept on walking, when the sudden delicious smell of chicken curry awakened my taste buds, drool appearing on the side of my mouth.

"If you two are here, who is cooking today's meal? Cause as per as I remember, it was our shift today, to cook, isn't it?"

"It was our, as in mine and Diana's turn today, not yours, Sarah." Melissa pointed out.

"We are not discussing this again, girls. I have decided to help you guys out and it keeps me busy too, rather than sitting around all throughout the day. It get boring!" I whined out.

"Well to answer your first question, it's Lexi, who is cooking the meal, and secon...."

"Why is she cooking?" I cut her off, rudely.

"She likes to cook for everyone. Its like we all are her children. And that's why, she threw all the maids out of the kitchen, and told us to engage ourselves in other works."

"And Mr. Morgan allowed, his dear aunt?" I taunted.

Honestly, I was little hurt, that I was no more the only child of Alexis, or Lexi, or Miss Lexi. Whatever.

"Yes, why won't boss allow? He loves it when she cooks."

"Ohh." I didn't bother to say much.

After walking blindly, tripping slightly from time to time, for what felt like eternity, we finally reach my room.

"And, here we are. In your room!" Melissa shouted

Both of the girls were happy, way too excited. I wonder what the surprise was?

"We are going to open the blindfold, okey?"

"Hurry up!" I was getting impatient.

As soon as she opened the blindfold, my mouth opened to the size of a cave, my eyes widening in jollity. I squealed in surprise.

"Oh my God! Who bought it for me?" I asked, hopping like a bunny.

Melissa and Diana laughed at me along with Keven, seeing my excited self.

"Ares."

CHASE

The sound of our footsteps echoed in the eerie silent dark corridors of the floor, as I and Ares walked. He moved behind me, twitching from time to time, waiting to throw his questions at me. But the way I glared at him last time, shut his mouth.

"Umm, bos..."

I gave him a pointed look, slightly turning my head and he zip locked his mouth, sealing his lips, giving me an innocent look.

Turning back my head, we strode out of the basement. He was my brother but he knew when he had to stay silent. I was already pissed at what I did.

Was it out of my league? Was it too much for a man like me, to do a thing like that? Or was it wrong of me to ask Ares, to do that for me?

Thinking about it, was frustrating me more.

We were going up the stairs when suddenly Ares jumped in front of me and pleaded "Okay, that's it! Please boss, please tell me."

My jaw twitched in anger as I threw daggers at him, through my eyes.

"Pwease, pwease pwease! Tell me nah, I won't say it to anyone. Pinky promise." He extended his pinkie, whining in a girlish voice, blinking rapidly.

I gave him a 'have-you-lost-your-dick' look, but it didn't affected him. He continue to bat his eyelashes at me.

Sometimes I wonder what was he even doing here? He was not at all made man type, and most specifically not the kind of man, the 3rd in command of the King of Underworld should be.

But I cou2dont really doubt him. He had never disappointed me in the past.

Except in one case.

He was very swift and cunning, did his job perfectly. He could vanish traces from the face of the earth, within minutes. Also the most specialized weapon specialist of mine. He was totally different man, when in war mode.

I had seen him changing from humours guy to a murderous man in seconds. And every time, it had left the victims either dead or landed them in coma.

Swiftly grabbing his pinkie, I twisted it, resulting in him, screaming out in pain.

"Next time I will make sure to break it!" I spat at him, my voice dangerously low.

His eyes were widened in pain and fear, as he nodded swiftly and I let his pinkie go.

He groaned in pain, grabbing it, and massaging it thoroughly.

"Gezz boss! What's got your knickers in a twist?"

I was just going to land a punch in his gut, when the buzzing of his phone saved him.

Looking at the caller, his eyebrows furrowed and he excused himself.

Good riddance.

I took my cue to save myself from this annoying brat, and turned back to go to my room.

As I was going up the stairs silently, the sound of small gigglings came from above.

I looked up to see, two figures approaching me. One was Melissa and the other was Keven. She was giggling and smiling, as Keven had draped his arms around Melissa's shoulders, a hint of smile present on his face too.

Okey, my men never smile.

None of them had noticed me yet.

But as soon as they felt someone was coming, they looked towards me, and came to halt. Both of them bending their head low. Melissa's hands infront of her and Keven's head raised up as he stood with his hands joined on his back.

"Where are you two coming from?"

"Boss, Ares had gifted mam something, and we were there for a while," Keven replied, his face blank. No sign of earlier happiness in them.

"Where is Diana? I thought, she was along with you all."

As soon as I asked the question, I saw Melissa pursing her lips, trying to hide her smile.

"She had been stolen by Draven, just a minute ago, sir," Melissa said meekly, her face still downwards.

"Hmm, go back to your works, if you are done lazing around." I ordered both of them, and started walking.

As they were almost down, I heard the faint whisper of Melissa when she said, "Sarah loved the present. It was so cute. I wish I had one too."

So, the little bird like my present. Good.

I knew she was disturbed, from last few days. And she had her reasons too. I wouldn't really blame her. I had been nothing but an ass to her. And I would continue to be so.

But somewhat it had left her stressed out and frustrated, and it was not good for the upcoming procedures .That's why I was thinking of giving her something to cheer up her mood.

I didn't do it for her, or something. Lexi had told me that she was healthy enough to conceive the baby now, and she also needed to remain stress free. So I thought, for the sake of the baby, she needed to stay happy too. Yeah that was the only reason.

Nothing else.

If that let you sleep at night.

I was wondering a lot what to give, cause I don't have any idea what kind of gifts girls like. Many thoughts came to my head earlier.

My dilemma was broken by Antonio yesterday, when I went to Italy. I and Draven were at his mansion, to discuss some important business deals, when a delivery man came to his door with a huge Teddy bear.

When I asked why he needed that, he said his pregnant fiance was angry at him, and he thought, a big, cuddly teddy bear could break her anger.

And I thought, why not give it a try.

I was almost near my room, when I took a left turn, and the scene infront of me, made my steps flatter, my temper flared.

Diana and Draven were kissing each other, hungrily and aggressively, Diana tugging his hair and Draven's hands all over my sister's body.

This men need to control their damn hormones! Draven, you are in great danger. I will make sure you never use those hands on my sister again.

"Draven!"

They abruptly let go of each other, panting and turned towards my murderous glare, when Diana not giving me a second glance, grabbed Draven's collar and dragged him inside her room, slam shutting the door.

What. Just. Happened?

What was even going on here? Had the atmosphere of my mansion suddenly changed? Earlier Ares behave weirdly, then Melissa and Keven giggling and now this?

Someone was influencing my people a lot here.

Heaving a sigh, I shook my head. Diana and Draven needed sometime with each other. I had always noticed a sexual tension between them.

Clicking my tongue in annoyance, I massaged my forehead.

Too much lovey dovey shit to take for one day.

I was almost near my room when I heard the faint whisper coming from Sarah's room. Her door was slightly ajared, I peeked inside to see the most alluring sight.

She was sitting on the bed, talking to the teddy with only a tight tank top and shorts. Her beautiful curves were quite visible from here. She wa quite a sight to behold, with brown messy hair opened, her breasts here quite visible in the tank top, her milky white thighs, and the way her blue eyes twinkled merrily as she talked with the bear.

Fuck!

SARAH

Looking at Mr. Snuggles, I gave him a tight hug. He was so snuggly and soft and so damn cute, with big brown button eyes and paws.

I always wanted a big teddy. They were so damn adorable. I lifted myself up from the bed and sat on its lap crossword, hugging it. The soft fur was pressed to my cheek and I giggled.

Looking up at it, I smiled and kissed it's button nose. The guys had left after I dramatically pounced at Mr. Snuggles, and was ignoring them.

"You know what, Mr. Snuggles, I am so happy to get you. You are so snuggly and I would love to cuddle you during the night, but...."

I heaved a sigh.

When I got to know, that the surprise was from Ares, I was a bit disappointed.

I was happy, definitely contented, but somewhat in deep down I wanted to hear that, Chase had gifted me this.

I knew he was not a man, to give flowers or chocolates, or teddies to a girl, but one can desire. Couldn't she?

It was never going to happen anyway. I hated him for the way he behaved with me, for the last few days.

Even, after bringing his whore, from his club, he gave me weird looks. His gaze filled with raw, intense lust, which was present, when we collided for the first time

Those chocolate brown eyes that I have came to adore, was filled with need, desires and thirst, as he ranked his eyes upon me, scrutinizing me.

It gave me weird chills, whenever he looked at me like that, but strangely I didn't feel disgusted. My body, ached needily, as if waiting for him to touch it. It had been craving for particular someone.

I should be ashamed of myself, for feeling like that.

Who gets this kind of feeling for a man, who wanted me to be his whore?

But it was weird that I didn't feel ashamed of myself too, for wanting him.

Shaking my head, to clear my thoughts I looked at Mr. Snuggles and pouted my lips.

"I wish Chase had gifted you to me."

"And what if I had, little bird?"

A dark, deep, hoarse voice reached my ears as soon as I made my statement, which alerted my body and I jumped, squealing from the sudden intervention.

Turning back, my eyes meet with the brown eyes that I hated right now. They were filled with amusement as well as a strange glint was present in it, as if he had heard all my earlier thoughts. They looked hungry.

Did her hear what I told Mr. Snuggles?

Off course he did, and it was quite evident from his frame, as he was leaning on the door frame, his hand crossed on his chest, his usual intimating position, and not to forget the muscles straining his white shirt, barely holding from tearing apart.

His lips twitched up, in the devilish smirk, which made him look more hot. And also the way, one of his eyebrow ranked up in a questioning manner, which made it more clear for him, that I was checking him out.

Can this be anymore mortifying?

I realised it could be, as soon as he straightened up from his earlier position, and strode towards me, with confident arrogant steps, a predatory glint in his eyes.

Pluck my life!
