60% Hazardous Affection / Chapter 3: You've been picked

Chapter 3: You've been picked

Hale feels the hotness of very unusual urine that's passing down and in between her legs.

"Ri-Richard..." she whispers as she watches Richard step into the crowd and like a ghost, he disappears without a trace.

Oh boy... This is going to be hot... With the way everything's going.

"Welcome Gentlemen who have come together today to witness the selection of the Wife of our Chairman and President of the Dark House. He is absent as our usual rule states he should be and the men in the house are to choose a capable and faithful woman before she meets her husband... "

Hale's eyebrows knit in confusion. What does that suppose to mean?

"As the general rule states, each lady standing here today are from rich and well-known homes and families, don't worry, your reputations won't go down the drail"

(Uhh... We know, duh)

The crowd of men is killing, men! Their eyes are extinguishing.

"Ladies, one of you will be picked to be the wife of the Chairman of the Dark House, who I absent. Only his wife can get to him as a female person... "

Hale raised a brow. That's interesting.

"And don't think the remaining six ladies are going to go like that. The remaining will get wedded to the closest friends of the Chairman and together, they will all work under the wife of the President"

Uh, shit-

Hale's eyes are dainty. Her mind is brainwashing itself and she does not know how it is happening, oh my gosh!

"The first round is the introduction, good luck to you, Ladies"

Everywhere go silent and for a minute, Hale thought everything is finally over.

A normal human being would ask where her ears were when the speaker talked about an introduction.

A man walks up to them in a white suit, coming from backstage, and stretches his arm with a microphone to the first lady.

She collects it simultaneously and watches him as he returns to his position, backstage.

"What your name?" the voice of a man that can hardly be seen in the crowd asks and the lady answers, though frightened and scared.

"Amy Jay" The men seated, most of them got hats on, dark shades, and cool black suites.

They also got face masks on... All of them.

Maybe that's a means to cover up their identities.

"How old are you?"

"22"

The man says nothing but continues to question further.

"What would be your main priority on the man you are yet to marry?"

Excuse me?

Hale chokes but holds back the cough...Did he just ask a private family question? What is wrong with him?

"My Family"

And the fool is even answering, interesting.

Hale tries to hold back a scream of insults ready to burst out of her mouth in any minute now.

"Give it to the next lady"

The lady in a bright blue garment collects the mic with shaky hands.

"Name"

"Jess Mills"

"Age?"

"30"

Oops... They got someone older than their boss.

Eeeesh... That's bad.

"Next"

The next lady receives the microphone like if she doesn't win this match she would die!

Frightened people can be funny sometimes.

"Name?"

"Laurel Devis'son"

The guy asking the questions allows a chuckle to escape his mouth which is heard across the hall through the sharpness of the microphone in front of him.

"Age?"

"25"

Same age as their boss. Hot the right type.

But she is the right type for him though.

"Next"

Two more ladies and Hale is up.

She can't wait to fire these people with what is in her mind now.

"Name"

"Alexis Narrenda"

Her voice is the softest sound anyone on earth has ever heard. Why does she sound like this?

"Age?"

"23"

"What would be your family priority if you marry him"

"Uh... Honestly, I will like to know who this man is and why I am here"

All the men immediately engage in thorough discussions, whisperings aiming from one place to another.

"Next"

After a while of discussing God knows what within themselves, he finally opens his stinking mouth, to call the next female.

"Name?"

"Mary Tyler"

"Age?"

"19"

The man seated says nothing but stares at this lady in astonishment.

19 years old that looks like she is over 35? Has she been feeding well? Taking all balanced diets?

Or moreover, is she lying to them? She looks so.

"Who do you think we are?" the man asks and Mary tries to hold the water in her bladder from pouring down continuously.

"Next..."

All eyes settle on Hale as she boldly takes the mic from Mary, ready to shoot at them all answers that come to her tongue.

"Name?"

"Hale Martins"

"Age?"

"20"

"What would be your-"

"Depends on how the man is" The man sitting, relaxed, and listening to what they are saying, widens his eyes and sits well.

This is a very good lady to hang up with.

The eyes of the men seated make Hale proceed further.

"Don't you think it's rude, for you to force ladies like us to marry people we know nothing about? This so-called president does not know us, nor do we know him.

My family or any other priority is who I know, not who I don't know"

The men stare at the lady in agreement but say nothing.

The ear deposit hung around the ear of the man asking questions beeps and he presses it to listen to what his boss had to say through it.

The man seated on the chair in a very dark office with the latest plasma television hanging up and he is watching what is happening in his studio, chuckles.

"I like this one" he whispers and the man asking the questions that are in the studio smiles widely.

"Miss Hale..."

Ooops... Hale made a mistake by showing off her boldness, right?

"You've been picked"

The whole world of Hale came crashing down on the whole studio as the men whispered and the ladies also standing there looks excited.

But their excitement wipes off the moment they remind themselves that they will all marry people under this President of theirs and they are going to be working under this lady.

Anger overwhelms them.

Especially those that have never been under anybody their entire life due to laziness or the wealthiness of their families didn't just want them to.

Hale is fidgeting but she doesn't show it. She never does.

"And what makes you think so? Am I not the one that supposed to get rejected?"

The man in a separate office, even in another environment not close to the building where the others are smiles as he watches through the television hanging in his office that is enabling him to see what is happening in his company's dorm. He then speaks to the man asking questions through the ear deposit.

"Bring her here tonight. She will sign that contract today, whether she likes it or not"


Chapter 4: I chose you

The man asking questions says nothing but immediately follows the instructions of the man talking to him through the ear deposit.

"Get her to the car"

Hale scoffs as disbelief and fear grasp her tightly in its bosom.

Are they really serious? Why does it have to be her?

Before Hale opens her mouth to talk, she goes blank without force.

The men seated start to mutter and mumble out their thoughts to each other, each having a different perspective towards this decision made my their boss himself.

Yes, the ladies he has married over the past few years were chosen by them but now he chose this lady by himself.

He must have seen something eye-catching in her. Because if he hadn't, he won't have made such a quick decision in just the first round.

They all watch as the hefty man carries her in a bridal style and out of the studio.

"Why do you think he chose her so quick?" another man asks the man who has direct communication with their boss.

"I don't know. Maybe that ice block we use to know is finally melting"

The men beside him laugh like real gentlemen hearing this. They are all singles, finding suitable wives for themselves.

They have tried the easy way but whenever they propose and the lady gets to know their real identity, she vanishes without a trace.

So they came up with the idea of kidnapping the ladies and marrying them by force, giving the ladies the IQ that kidnapping is part of a very dangerous job.

So even if they don't know their major identities, they do have a clue that they are engaged in dangerous jobs altogether, so...

Each man, about a hundred of them, evacuates from the building and enters the bus neatly packed outside in the company's garage.

The sight of New York is eye-capturing...

Therefore, they rush into it to bring forth the lady that their Master has chosen for himself.

The magnificent Mansion doors splits open and four men walks into it with their leader in front. Their are holding the four corners to the black platform Hale is unconsciously lying on.

"Tell the master that it's Sam here, and I got the lady with me"

"Copy"

They haven't even reached the elevator when the transparent glass doors slides to each side automatically and the five men enters. Sam checks his wrist watch with his dark and mysterious glasses on a small smile breaks on his lips.

How he can wait to see the look on his boss's face when he sees the Lady for the very first time and they experience true love together...

Aww....

But the thing is...

Will that ice block be able to control himself and not just dive into anything a bit mature too early?

Yes, they are both matured to have something to do with each other, but the ice block in his office cam be too possessive and stone-hearted sometimes, and at the same time.

*Knock Knock*

His suite is neatly buttoned up. His black hat, with his hair curving up in front, his two golden rings on each finger of his left hand and on his right nostril, his soft and chiseled shaped beard, his black digital wrist watch, and his black shoes makes him look like a god!

He has everything a lady ever desires, including a good heart.

But it has been buried a long time ago, who can dig it out?

"Come in" his gentle womanish voice is heard from the hallway and not too long, the five men enters with the unconscious Hale on the platform they are holding.

"Your decision was a bit quick"

"I'd prefer to wait, but the way she spoke caught my attention"

Sam creased brow at his friend.

"You like the way she talk?" Hearing no reply made him to continue

"She talks a bit aggressively. You want someone that will make your home a jungle?"

The boss and friend of Sam raises his head with his hat obstructing a part of his face from being seen as he raised it.

'Damn, I think I made a big mistake'

"My home is already a jungle"

Sam says nothing but gave the four guys behind him a signal to bring the girl forward.

The four men holding firmly to the edges of the platform drops her in middle of the room and left under the instruction of Sam.

Both men stared at the lady before the boss opens his mouth to speak.

"What's her name again?"

"Hale Martins"

The man gently removes his hat and the beauty that beholds that face of his makes the light to brighten a little.

Sometimes, most of his assistants except Sam, falls for him.

"Make her wake up"

Sam presses a button on his wrist watch and an immediate movement occurs on the body of Hale.

They stare at her as she opens her eyes and stretched like a beautiful little girl ready for a lullaby usually sang by her mother to her.

"Wh-where am I?" she asks herself, thinking she is in her bedroom but the only difference between this place and her bedroom is that her bedroom do not give her a headache whenever she sleeps in it.

"In my office"

Hale eyes widen in shock and utter dismay!

Where the rollercoaster is she?!

She immediately struggles to sit up which she does but with a shaky body.

At first, she also thought she wasn't in danger because of the beautiful face of this man standing before her...

He got a woman face entirely. Got long eyelashes, his eyes are held back tightly as his hair is also held back, he got long fingers and he painted both thumbs nails with red paint.

Or whatever women calls it.

But then....

She starts to remember the interview she had some moments ago and how their boss said she is the one.

Why does it feel like it's moments ago that the interview happened? It should be feeling like six or ten hours ago?

Wait... They sprayed something on her face that made her go blank!

Dang it! That is why a sibling fights are not so good sometimes. Most times.

"Who... Who are you?"

His face is as cold as an ice berg. No sign of friendliness or even calmness is on his face. His face is just blank!

Is he cursed? Or did his mother ask him to not smile with strangers too?

"Young miss Hale, meet your husband"

"My what?" Hale looks at Sam and with the look he just passed onto her, she quickly stands up from the board to express herself.

"This... This is a mistake... I am Hale Martins, I am not some bride that your parents arranged for you, okay? I-I am nobody"

"Nothing is a mistake. I chose you"

Hale's blood temperature increases rapidly hearing this...

"What?"

"You will be signing the contract being laid out for you"

A folder in the hands of Sam is being brought to her and he opens it, handing it over to her with a pen.

"This contract is a legal contract, coming from Brazil where I come from but we will live here in New York"

Hale's eyes pops out.

"New York?!"
