章 2: 2 Sharp mouthed Hooker!

"Why are you suddenly quiet?" Dominic questioned with a sinister smile playing on his lips. It was obvious that Celine was swept off her feet by his hot look and he didn't fail to notice it.

Celine jolted back to reality and bit her lips in embarrassment. She had been carried away and now this man might think high of himself. Yes, he is handsome but there are other guys out there who could beat him.

She kept cursing him in her mind, she never stopped. She doesn't even know why he annoys her alot.

"I don't quite understand your question. My mouth is mine and I can decide whenever to use it. Do you understand?"

"Hmmm." Dominic chuckled. "I do understand. I can't question your decision for also turning dumb all of a sudden while staring at my body greedily. Am I so hot that you can't take your eyes off me?" He teased her.

"I wasn't staring at your body, I was staring at you!" She retorted.

"So what's the difference between my body and I? My body is mine and I'm my body, it defines me and it belongs to me. So you were staring at me, just accept it."

Celine tightened her fists while glaring at him. Why was he spouting nonsense?

"You sharp mouthed hooker! Will you just keep the hell shut?!"

Dominic's brows creased. Did she just call her a hooker? He chuckled and looked away, rubbing his torso. Like seriously, does she knows who he was?

"What did you just call me just now?"

"Do you have flower buds in your ear? You heard me correctly! I think you're blabbering because I haven't paid you for your services. Take this." She stuck a few dollars into his hand. "Please make sure to visit the doctor, your senses are dissipating."

"Let's not meet ever again." She said and was about to open the door when Dominic grabbed her by the waist and pulled her closer to himself.

He was greatly offended. This lady had thought so lowly of him. Does she know how many empire he runs, the billions in his account? And he called her a hooker? How dare she say this to him?!

"What do you want now? Let me go!" She tried to wriggle out of his grip but her efforts proved abortive as the man in front of her was stronger than she was.

"Do you know the gravity of what you've done? Do you think I'll accept your money? Take it back, I don't need it!" He snatched her purse and kept the money in it.

Celine took the money and gave it back to him. "I'm a disciplined woman and if I don't pay you, it means I've cheated on you. Besides, I'm concerned about your mental health. Mr hooker, something is really wrong with you."

"What do you mean?" Dominic squinted his brows.

"Yes, you don't know? Hah, tsk tsk, let me explain things to you. Now you've started to assume that whenever a lady looks at you, it simply means she's admiring you, isn't it? It shows you're unwell. Do you know what I was staring at earlier?"

"What?"

"Look you can't even bath properly, there's a soap foam right on your neck. Gosh, are you a kid?"

"Everyone can make this mistake, okay? Even you." Dominic mentioned, giving her an eye roll.

"Me?" Celine paused and let out a dry chuckle. "Whenever I bath, I do it properly. I'm not like you. I have to leave now, please make sure to visit an hospital. There's one nearby." She grinned and left the room scoffing at him.

Dominic ran his hands through his ear on annoyance and balled his fists aggressively. This lady has crossed her limits! Noone dared to speak rashly to him and she just did that!

He was almost going to dress up when his eyes caught something on the floor. He bent and picked it up; it was Celine's ID.

He sat on the bed, staring at it but he couldn't read the content clearly because they were printed in tiny fonts.

Ever since he was little, he had been suffering from an eye defect but the doctors didn't seem to get what was wrong with him. Noone was able to diagnose what the problem was, so Dominic has learnt to live with it.

He picked up his eye glasses and went through the card, then his mind drifted to the birth mark he saw on her body last night.

Only the descendants of the Green pearl clan can only have it. The Green pearl clan is a very powerful clan ruled by the humans, not ordinary humans but special humans with a brilliant heritage. They possess special abilities from a goddess named, Isis - the goddess of motherhood and magical powers.

The Green pearl clan were and the Sabine clan are sworn enemies. The fight started a century ago, when the Vampires from Sabine clan tried to steal the heart of the Goddess Isis. Many people lost their lives in the war including Dominic's parents and Celine's.

"There's something hidden about this lady and I'll make sure to find out." He said to himself.

At Melanin Enterprise, Dominic's assistant - Franklin, brought him Celine's information.

He frowned as he took the paper from him.

"Didn't I always tell you to adjust the font size?"

"I'm so sorry, sir. It escaped my mind." Franklin quickly bowed.

Dominic nodded after giving him a long stare. Franklin was a faithful servant to him and that's why he'll be overlooking this mistake he just done.

After reading it with the use of his eyeglasses, he looked up. The information showed that she was an orphan and she got adopted twenty five years ago.

"So her guardian died a year ago?" He asked and Franklin nodded.

"Yes, she did. She died of cancer." He answered.

Dominic stood up and picked up his jacket.

"Drive to her apartment." He ordered when he got into his car.

"Alright sir." Franklin nodded and ignited the car's engine.

****

Arlington VA, America

Celine dragged her feet against the ground as she approached her small apartment.

She just got fired from work for slapping a customer, she had spilled juice on a man's body. Initially, she apologised but he slapped her and because she couldn't control her anger, she returned the slap and even multiplied it. The man almost turned deaf as he kept screaming.

She wondered how she was going to pay the loansharks now that she doesn't have a job. Gosh, this was the fifth job she's losing this week because of her hot tempered nature.

"It's good you're here." She heard a familiar stern voice and when she looked up, she saw two hefty men in front of her.

Her eyes almost popped out of her sockets, just speak of the devil and he'll appear immediately. The loansharks were standing in front of her doorstep.

She cringed as she moved backwards, her gaze fixed to the ground. What was she going to do now? She knows they're here for their money.

"M..Mr Gabriel, Mr Parker." She stuttered, fidgeting with the hem of her skirt.

The men moved closer and one of them, raised her chin.

"When are you going to pay us? It has been a year now." Mr Parker mentioned, looking at her fiercely.

"Umm..I.. I'm going to pay up soon, please give me some more time." Celine pleaded, her voice wavering.

"Do we look like philanthropists to you? If others are like do, do think our business wouldn't have plummeted, you fool!" Mr Gabriel yelled at her, his tall figure hovering over her.

Parker whispered something into the other man's ear and he nodded as they both looked at her greedily.

"You know we can actually write off your debts." Mr Gabriel mentioned, trying to touch her breasts.

Celine moved away, fear gripping the best part of her. What are they trying to do to her.

"If you satisfy us to have tonight, then you can forget about your debts. Come here, darling." Mr Parker tried to touch her again and she gave him a hot slap on the face.

"How dare you want to take advantage of me!" She screamed at them.

"Uh? You slapped me? You indeed have so much audacity even after failing to pay me up!" Mr Parker glared at her.

"There's nowhere to run now. You're ours tonight, we're going to have you and you'll still pay up your outstanding debts. That's your punishment for overstepping your boundaries." The other man said.

Celine became frightened, where was she going to run to and how on earth would she face this huge men!

Holy heavens! This is bad!

She was in tears already as the men walked closer to her. God! Who is going to help her now? Suddenly when she thought all hope was lost and she was gokng to be taken advantage of, she felt a hand on her waist, and a familiar cologne wafted through her nose gently.

"You're overstepping your boundaries too!" The familiar voice said and when Celine looked up. She frowned a bit, she never expected him to be here.
