Bab 7: The Proposal

"What do you think you're doing?" I exclaimed and referring to Scott, infuriated as I turned my head halfway to his direction.

"Get the fuck out of my way!" I roared at the two men. I frowned when I didn't get any response from both of them who were blocking me. "NOW!!!" I shouted furiously. The guys just crossed their arms towards their chest and eyes were straightly focused at me like nothing happened.

I let out a deep sigh as my face was of rage in anger. I was calculating my moves or should I say I am making a plan over my head on how I would be able to escape from these guys in front of me.

I looked ahead and a slight curve in my mouth was formed. There are no more guys waiting outside the house so that means if I'm able to put these men down… I'd escape freely, I smirked at the thought. I turned my head back at Scott's direction, which I eventually regretted. He was taking a sip into his glass of liquor as his eyes were focused on me amusingly. I rolled my eyes at him and exhaled as I faced the men in front again.

I took one step backwards as I clenched my fist and raised it leveled to my chest and shoulders. I was planning on giving them a strong blow of punches so I did. These guys were huge and had the build of like a boxer. The impact isn't that strong towards them as their body only moves a little, I even notice the guy from the left smirking arrogantly. The other guy stepped a few meters back from the other guy whom I gave the punch to.

I was now even challenged to put these guys down, my face was heating up because of madness. I felt like I would go crazy by now if I can't get even.

I prepared myself as I ran furiously towards the guy in front. When I was a few inches apart I leaped and threw a lead front push kick at the guy. I smirked as I noticed that he was trying his best to prevent himself from falling down. So I took it as a chance to climb at his now half bent legs and I clasp my legs into his neck, choking him. His hands were now trying to separate my legs from his neck as he was now moving trying to get free.

I pulled his hair and even gave him minimal punches while I was sitting on his shoulder abruptly. He was now kneeling into the floor as I crossed my legs that were still clasps in his neck. I saw the other guy now preparing himself to attack me so I immediately pushed myself forward as I tossed the guy's neck and I rolled over the floor still pulling his hair.

I stretched my right leg when the other guy was near enough as I blocked him using my foot causing him to fall hard into the ground. I heard him groan because of his sudden fall.

I took it as a chance to escape from both men as I pushed them together. I ran quickly towards the door thinking that my freedom was served. But I halted to my dismay as soon as I arrived outside the house.

"Fucking stupids!" I mumbled in frustration as I tried catching my breath. More guys showed up out of nowhere. They are now encircling me. My eyes even narrowed as I saw more men were standing at every corner of the house. What do I even expect! I let out a frustrating sigh as I surrendered.

"There is no way you can escape from this house, my lady." I turned around upon hearing a familiar voice behind me, a mocking voice I would say. He was smiling from ear to ear as he walked down towards my direction. I frowned even more.

"You have never failed to amaze me since the day I saw you again, Faith... at the hotel." He said, clapping his hands. Amusement could be seen in his handsome face.

"What do you want?" I said, trying to calm myself.

"You." He replied promptly without hesitation in his voice. I raised my one brow upon hearing his words and felt disgusted.

"In your fucking dreams!" I blurted out and let out a smirk. He is now a few inches away from me as I noticed that his men were now back into their post away from us.

A curve was formed in his mouth as he leaned forward taking the remaining space between us as he said, "I'm dead serious, Faith. Whether you like it or not. You will surrender yourself to me… again." I could feel his warm breath in my face while he said those words as I was slowly leaning backwards trying to avoid him. His dark eyes were focused on me very intently.

My body was now arcing so much that I would fall back in no time trying to avoid him. I failed to notice his arms that are now encircled in my waist from the last minute before I would fall to the ground.

I snapped out of my dreamy self and pushed him hard but he was not shaken up as he even pulled me closer to him. I felt his ragged breathing and his eyes turned darker.

"G-get y-your... hands off m-me." Finally I let out a sigh as I stammered upon saying those words. Our eyes meet which I immediately withdraw after.

"No. Not unless you hear my proposal." He said in a stern voice, eyes still focused towards me.

I let out a deep sigh, "As if I have any other choice." I gave up.

"Good girl… Now follow me." He said as he caressed my cheek lightly before he turned around and walked towards the door.

I then followed him, feeling so down and without a choice. My eyes were still frowning as I followed him climbing the stairs. We entered a room that looked like his office.

There are bookshelves from both sides, a big desk and dark gray curtains right at the center of the wall. There was also a brown leather couch at the center of the room and a glass round table at the center of the couch. He sat on the couch and signaled me to come and do the same afterwards, beside him.

"What's the proposal you're talking about? If you think I'd kill someone for you, you've got it wrong." I said in a serious voice.

"HAHAHA. Why would you think I'd let you do that?" He laughed with amusement flashes on his face. "I've heard you are currently jobless." He added.

My eyes narrowed in his direction, "Seriously!?" I exclaimed. "It's none of your business." I said as I felt the embarrassment. I knew the fact that I'm jobless but it hit me differently when those words came out of his mouth. I felt ashamed and useless compared to him, he's got everything he wanted.

I saw the sudden change in his expression, he must've thought I got insulted or whatever. He let out a soft sigh and spoke out.

"I'm not trying to insult you, okay?" He said in a soft calming voice. I just rolled my eyes as a response. "I'm trying to propose a business with you which I'm asking you to be my Assistant." He said without breaking his gaze at me.

My eyes frowned again and my forehead wrinkled with his unexpected offer.

"Your... what!?" I asked hysterically, still processing the situation. I could feel myself sweating.

"You heard it right, Faith. Be my Assistant." He repeated.

"And what made you think that I would agree and accept your offer?" I replied sarcastically and leaned my back into the couch.

"I don't think I'm giving you the choice to decline my offer, Faith." He said directly as he raised one brow. "And I don't think you have yet to realize how dangerous your life is now that the Mafias knew about your existence. I bet the Mafia leaders have sent their men to cut your head." He threatened without a pause.

"What the fuck! What Mafia are you talking about?" I asked, still confused and slightly frightened. "What did I do to them? How did they know me!?" I added. I know I am a war freak sometimes but I can't recall any possibilities that I've angered a Mafia member or whatever.

"Holy shit!" I blurted out as my eyes widened, a sudden realization hit me. I remembered the guy who kidnapped me. I knew most of the Mafia members were Italians and I knew that guy was one of them based on the way he spoke and acted so harshly.

I turned my head to Scott's direction with questioning eyes. He seemed to understand what I was thinking, he just nodded in agreement.

"How?" Confusion built up in my head again.
