章 18: Is The Chain To Her Heart Broken?

"Ahmm...I-I was just p-passing by and…" I stammered as I absentmindedly looked around and tried to find a perfect word to say.

Scott and his men turned around and looked at me fixedly as his men stopped from torturing the woman who is now close to fainting.

He frowned and gulped his own saliva as he stared at me with fear in his eyes...his Adam's apple were moving up and down while his face turned pale as he stared at me.

I was just standing by the door awkwardly...my eyes were emotionless and my mouth was now shut as he put the pliers into the table and walked slowly towards my direction. He was timid and his eyes were only focused on mine, his breathing heavily as he approached me.

I shivered as I felt both his hand landed into my shoulder and unexpectedly wrenched me… he was now facing my delicate back.

"Don't look." He said nervously. A confusion was drawn all over my face as to why he is preventing me from looking… to think that I was already watching him for a while now as he did all the torturing to the woman who is tied up with both wrists just above her.

"What are you guys doing to her?" I purposely asked, knowing that he had no idea I was here for a while now. I was calm and without any hint of fear as I looked at him straight to his eyes. "Aren't you being too much? She's still a girl." I added as I tilted my head to peek at the woman.

"I am a Mafia Lord, Faith...This is just a taste of how I punish those who BETRAYED me... I could kill her now... if I want to." He croaked. His eyes darkened as he spoke those words, "People should know their place!" He roared and walked out of the room leaving me and the others dumbfounded while the woman had now fainted.

After that incident, I decided to stop wandering around thinking I might discover something that I shouldn't have in this massive house and just went back to my room.

I was lying down on the bed to rest for a moment and I must have drifted off to sleep. I was awakened by a sudden opening and closing of the door. So I impulsively got out of bed and prepared myself for whatever might happen as I turned to see who's the intruder.

But I curled my eyebrows together as confusion ran through my face. I saw a familiar broad back and a manly shadow under the dimmed light of the room. He was facing to his side making my view only half of his face was visible to me. His pointed nose was creating a shadow right to his cheek, he was groaning softly as he removed his necktie forcefully and irritatedly.

I was there watching him with mouth open as he removed his coat and slowly removed his shirt one after another. There were no words coming out of my mouth as I couldn't react accurately.

The man was Scott… he was there because it was his room, in the first place. He ordered his maids to take her to his room this morning.

He came from drinking down stairs, he suddenly felt the urge to get drunk after the happenings in the basement. It was mixed emotion, he was scared as he looked into Rayzel's reaction...seeing him acting like a devil, he was scared that she might stay away from him or worse...she might be afraid of him.

He knew he shouldn't let his weakness win but when it comes to Rayzel... it's a different story, everything is just second. He is willing to give up everything that he has right now if the price is her. He wouldn't want to lose this chance being with her again...even if she doesn't like him around her anymore.

"W-why are y-you here?" I stammered as I finally got the courage to speak. I took one step backwards when I noticed Scott walking towards my direction.

He didn't reply or say any word while he took every step closer to me...his eyes were focused on me...his dark brown eyes got even darker and were full of lust.

I caught him as he licked his lower lip which made me gasp. I couldn't move and was frozen from my spot. I was literally panicking and my heartbeat started to go faster as he gets closer and closer

Our eyes met as I automatically stepped back when he was already inches apart from me...he then took another step forward as I took another step backwards until my back hit the hard wall. He put his both arms into the wall leveled to my head making it in between his arms.

His face is now inches closer to mine and his eyes were staring directly to my eyes with so much desire. His glare then shifted to my slightly opened lips...he leaned closer to making our forehead now touching each other.

My reflexes kicked in so I pushed him hard...harder as I could but my strength didn't give much effect to him. I tried all the means to escape from his imprisonment but I failed to do so until…

He leaned even closer to me and his one hand suddenly grabbed my waist making our body touch each other and our lips are an inch apart. I whimpered. He wasn't saying any word at all but I could still feel his warm breath touching my slender skin that smells like alcohol.

My eyes automatically closed as I felt his rosy lips touch mine...for a moment he wasn't moving...I at the same time was completely in shock. I felt his lips as he began to create movement through my lips and he deepened the kiss, somewhat inviting me to do the same. I could taste the sweetness and felt like I was drunk in bitterness all together in his mouth…bitterness that came from the alcohol that he was drinking. I was completely lost in ecstasy.

I suddenly felt something knocking in my teeth which I soon realized was his tongue. Asking permission and trying to enter inside my mouth. I was hesitant at first but my body speaks louder than my mind...I slowly opened my mouth and gave his entrance to which he quickly slid his tongue and created an indescribable movement inside. I heard him groan inside my mouth and seemed very glad that I opened it.

The feeling was too overwhelming for me… that I forgot everything. My hands started to move on its own as it crawled up to his neck and wrapped around it while his other hand that was on the wall that is keeping our balance was now at the back of my head and pushing it gently against his… as he deepened our kiss even more. I could feel an unexplainable sensation inside me as the heat keeps building up.

This unexplainable feeling that I have right now is very new to me. I have closed the door to my heart and didn't let anyone or any guy enter for ten long years. But now… I couldn't figure out why I let this man get near me again… Is the chain to my heart broken? I can not think straight anymore.

We were both panting and catching our breath when he suddenly parted his lips away from mine… I wanted to protest but I didn't have the time as he carried me in his arms anticipatedly.

I soon felt the soft bed as he slowly lay me down. He quickly straddles me as I lay on the bed...my eyes widened and my mouth was hung open when his body leaned back straight. He was already half naked so the view that I have right now was heavenly.

He was like a god from Egypt in my point of view... dropped dead gorgeous, from his seamless jawline down to the rise and fall of his Adam's apple that protruded on his neck as he gulped his own saliva, his perfectly muscled chest down to his six-packs abs and last and importantly, the mouth watering V shaped that was located just after his belly button that was not covered by his jeans. OMG! What am I thinking...you slut! I shouted on my head

But something caught my eyes while I was admiring the beautiful scenery before my eyes.

An approximately three inches long scar could be seen on his belly just beside the line that would complete the V shape...it was located on his right belly. I was staring at it very intently and looked to another spot of his body to see if there was something more and I was right… a small scar in his lower chest and another one from his arm that seems to be coming from a bullet shot.
