Click.

The sound of the lock opening made my heart beat faster, I was on the verge of panic attack. The metal door groaned open. A big burly man with a shaved head entered the room. I gulped. He had a dark complexion and a tattoo on the side of his head.

A tattoo of Scorpio.

What? A tattoo on head?

I shook my head and took a deep breath. I looked at him, directly in his eyes. His eyes were pure evil. He had black eyes and muscled arms, black T-shirt stretched across his large torso. He was a buff man.

"Finally! You are awake." He said in a deep voice.

I just kept staring at him trying to be brave but I knew inside I was trembling with the uncertainty of what he'll do to me.

"Oooohh so this kitten has claws." He said and laughed.

I kept staring at him.

"You don't wanna talk? It's okay." He said and smirked.

"Just remember it, once the Boss wants to talk to you. You better open those kissable lips of yours." He said as he came closer to me and legit licked my cheek. I wanted to hurl right there. Before he could turn around I spit on his face. He just laughed as he started walking backwards and wiped his face.

I shuddered and looked around.

It was just me? oOr the temperature was actually lowering and my dress wasn't helping either.

Who's their boss?

Deep down in my mind I knew the answer but still I wanted to see this from my eyes.

I was just so exhausted, my feet were aching, shoulders were screaming and wanted relief.

Ughh!!

I leaned my head against one of my arms and closed my eyes. I was so tired that I just wanted to sleep. My eyes were literally drooping.

I heard some muffled sounds but didn't pay any attention to it.

Suddenly I was all wet and cold. My eyes instantly opened, I looked around and saw that bald man held an iron bucket, which was now empty as its contents was on me now. The water was so cold that my body started shivering and shuddering, my teeth followed that dance too and started chattering.

I was so busy with myself that I didn't notice the presence of another man until he cleared his throat.

My eyes flew to him.

The greyish blue three piece suit stretched over his 6 feet something frame, his copper colored hair covered his full head, even for his age. He had these grey eyes which seemed like he could look into my soul.

He smiled, the corners of his eyes crinkled

His smile was so evil.

"Ciao Maria." He said, his voice was hoarse as if he had smoked a whole packet of cigarettes in one hour.

I looked at him with wide eyes.

"What? You don't remember me? I am your Uncle." He said and laughed loudly.

My eyes opened more widely, my jaw dropped.

Raphael.

Ohmigod.

"Wha-What..? How... Why?" I stammered.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, but you have to tell me a few things." He said, all laughter was gone from his expression. He stood straight, towering over me, as all the expression leaked out of his face,

"I- I don't know wha- what are you talking about?" I asked and shook my head.

"I think you know what I am talking about. So you better tell me easily or we'll do this my way." He said in a hard voice.

"I-I swear, I don-dont kn-know what are you talking about" I said, confused.

He just stared at me with his ice cold eyes.

"I just know about those documents that my father hid in different pl-places." I added.

"Do you know my whole business and properties are under your name?" He asked.

I gasped.

What?

"So you better tell me where those papers are." He asked calmly as he turned towards the bald man and jerked his face towards me.

"You know what to do." He said and started to leave.

"I didn't know about this, I swear." I yelled but he just left. I looked at the bald man and gulped. He grinned and winked.

"Guess it's just me and you, darling." he said.

Oh no-no please.
