Freya felt as if she couldn't breathe as Aurelius slowly kissed her, his hand going up to her hair as he ran them through her dark red locs. His lips taste like cranberries and a hint of vodka but she didn't mind.
Wait! Freya paused her thinking as she forcefully pulled away from the kiss, out of instinct, she slapped him across the face.
Aurelius stood there, a bit shocked but he was half expecting it. Still, he was her husband, she was like a mere slave to him and she still had the audacity to raise her hand of him.
"You're feisty for a little slave, you know? I can't wait till we get home, I'd teach you some perfect manners" he glared at her, his cold and ruthless eyes that stared at her made her shudder and low key she couldn't help but think maybe he was just bluffing.
Aurelius left the room leaving Freya to her own thoughts, he had to check some of the goods that were to arrive in this city before they headed of the their desired location.
Freya slumped back into bed, her fingers going to slowly touch her lips. They were wet with saliva and she could feel butterflies fluttering in her belly. She closed her eyes thinking of what to do next.
A brief image flashed in her head of when her parents were killed, she chuckled sadly as she felt tears well up in her eyes.
"What have I done to deserve this?" She whispered as tears slowly rolled down her cheek. She was never one to cry over death but she had once thought her family could change for the better but she had been living in her imagination for a while.
Now, she was finally awake.
Freya knew she couldn't go back to this man's house with him, she needed to leave, whether it was to run away till she gets a way to return back to her home town, she would.
She took a deep breath as she slumped back into the bed, at night, she would make her move and never return. Freya heard the door click open as a woman stepped in, she was a bit wary of her sudden appearance considering the fact that she didn't even knock.
"Who are you and don't you have any manners?" Freya said, her voice sharp and clear as the lady just stared of her blankly.
"You are the one without the manner, young lady. I am Monique, Aurelius nanny and he assigned me to take care of you" Monique said and Freya immediately felt guilty as her cheeks turned lightly pink.
"I-i'm so sorry ma'am, I'm in a bad mood and I didn't mean to snap at you" Freya said as Monique just smiled at her lightly with a small chuckle.
"It's fine, I know what happened and I don't blame you. Just take it easy" Monique said as she started off loading the cart she brought with her.
The smell of fresh bread and soup filled the air as Monique placed the food beside Freya's bed.
"Have this food and after you can take the pills beside them. You'd be taking them every morning and night for a while, okay?" Monique said to Freya who slowly nodded. Deciding to give the lad some privacy she left the room.
Aurelius sat in the car as he stared at the man who was few feets away, his dark red hair that looked almost similar to that of Freya intrigued him.
"Who is that?" Aurelius asked the guy that was seated beside him, the guy just chuckled as he stared at the red haired stranger.
"Stone Carson, famous billionaire CEO and he almost has nothing to do with you, so don't be bothered" Quinn said with a smirk.
Quinn was Aurelius's right hand man and as they say bird's of the same feather's flock together. Quinn Leonard was a Mafia boss was in corporation with Aurelius clan but they came here on a mission which was successful and they were leaving to Italy soon.
"Mm, I don't know but I feel like I've heard that name before. Robert get us back to the hospital and prepare the private jet for take off" Aurelius instructed his driver as his eyes went to the laptop on his laps.
As he opened it, he could see Freya on the bed her eyes closed as her chest heaved up and down. He didn't know why the heck he was so obsessed with seeing her.
When he kissed her back then, he was out of his mind but remembering the slap, his grip of the laptop tightened. He always keeps to his words and he would make her life a living hell if she chooses to defy his words.
As the car slowly drove back to the hospital, Aurelius drew his head back as he slowly close his eyes. It had been a while since he had a nice rest and he couldn't wait to get back to the comfort of his home before sleeping.
Aurelius hadn't even fallen asleep when he felt something bump into the back of the car, his eyes snapped open as he pulled out a gun from his pocket.
"What was that?" He asked Robert who was already looking at the rare view mirror only to see a red Lamborghini behind them and a masked man pointing a gun right at their car.
"Sir, seems like we're being tailed" Robert said and Quinn was also at alert, he pulled out his gun as he looked at Aurelius. They both understood each other as they both opened the car door on each of their sides.
"Keep driving Robert and don't get us caught" Aurelius said as he leaned out of the car, aiming at the car behind them. He didn't hesitate as he fired a shot at the man, it touched the guy's wrist allowing the gun fall from his hand.
"Isn't that the red haired guy?" Aurelius yelled to Quinn who was busy trying to shoot if the tyre of the car.
