Chapter 92 [ALEXI Fate was a word I didnât believe in Just like I now didnât believe that the girl in front of me, the one who had bumped into me last evening had done so by accident.
Anger ran its course through my veins that this silly little person had planned our encounter yesterday, and I had assumed it to be accidental.
When I took a step closer to her, she shook, audibly gasping.
And I must be a sick ba*t*rd because her fear turned me on. Pressing the gun I was holding to her forehead further, my cock strained against my pants when she whimpered.
Oh, all the things I could do to her.
âGive me one good reason why I shouldnât blow your brains out right now,â I threatened.
She gulps, the horror somehow darkening the grey in her eyes. I am innocent,â she pleaded.
That voice. How would I sound like if she moaned my name? Scratch that. When. When she moans my name.
âInnocent people donât run, cupcake.â
Her lips quiver. âI- I was walking back from the bathroom and I paused hearing your voice. I didnât- I didnât h swear.
âHuh.â I retrace the gun, putting it back into my pocket. âYou didnât hear anything?â
âN-No âAre you lying, cupcake?â
She shakes her head. Once. Twice. Thrice, âHm.â I pretend to believe her, stepping closer. âWhat is that?â I eye the phone in her hands.
âN- Nothingâ Her eyes twitch, the phone now clutched safely in both her hands behind her back.
âNothing?â
hear anything. I I bend to her height, our faces a few inches away, enough to notice the tears glistening in her eyes, but that doesnât stop her from gasping when my knuckles gently trace the skin of her right arm.
She looked she wanted to close her eyes at the contact, as if my touch was causing a burning sensation in her.
I knew her heart was beating fast and loud because I could see it pulsate in her neck.
âDo you know how easy it would be for me to accidentally kick the artery in your neck?â I asked, the distraction working wonders because it caused her to shudder. I know her vivid imagination played that scene in her head and she considered me capable of the threat 1 had so casually given out because her grip on her phone loosened, enabling me to pull it out.
âAh. Locked,â I comment, stepping back. âOpen it for meâ
âN- No.â Her lips quiver but she straightens up despite the teary eyes, pretending to appear all unfazed 1/a 11:08 Tue, Jun 11 MS.
Chapter 92 âI donât usually ask nicely, cupcake.
âYou never asked,â she sassed.
âSir,â Dominic calls me, and the sudden realisation that he had followed me here from Bakshiâs office hits me.
1 half turn my head towards him, entertaining his thoughts âIf you wish, you can get back to Bakshi. I will get this done and crack her open before youâre done.â
The thought of that, the image of it, for some reason the very words send a spitfire through me..
I clench my jaw, resisting the urge to hiss. âI have time.â
And then I focus all my a attention on the lost looking kitten in front of me. âAre you going to open it for me?â
She shudders in fear but shakes her head nonetheless.
âOkay then.â
I bet she didnât know what hit her when she finds my hand at the back of her head in a swift motion, grasping her by her long locks. A shriek escapes her lips when I use that to tilt her head and place her phone in front of her face, the phone unlocking sound making me release her.
âYou-Youâre a monster!â She sobs, the tears she had been holding in now streaking down her face.
Tve been called worse, I reassured her before rummaging through her phone, and there it was.
The audio recording I suspected. I played it out loud, watching with amusement how her face drained of all colour.
âLooks like youâre a liar, cupcake, I commented.
âPl- Please. She begs, sniffing. âI was just being nosy. I will- I will delete it, I promise. You can delete it. Just- Please let me go.
âLet you go, I repeat out loud, almost sounding psychotic. âDom?â
âYes, Sir?â
âWhat is the Bratvaâs punishment for liars?â
âDeath, Sir.â
âAh. I click my tongue, turning to the girl who had broken down completely.
â1- I canât die,â she begs, âI have to stay alive.â Tears meant shit to me. Usually. Somehow, the way she was crying and begging looking a minute away from some sort of panic attack stirred something in me that I hadnât felt ever.
Mercy âI am not going to kill you,â I tell her softly. âWhy donât we start with your name?â
âM- Mia,â she sobs. âMia Carson.â
Mia Carson. Interesting.
âAnd why were you recording my conversation:
Her breaths turn unshaky, but no voice escapes her.
Bakshi, cupcake?

âLetâs try this again, cupcake.â I try not sounding as angry as I was feeling by the thought that someone had sent her to spy on âEither you give me an answer voluntarily, or I use ways you wouldnât like.â

She gulped. â1- I overheard a little when I was leaving the bathroom. 1- I recorded it to ask for money later. Nobody sent me. I-I just got greedy.
Alic.
She was lying through her teeth, right to my face.
âHm.â I pretended to believe her. âThatâs a punishable offence.â
âN- No please.â She begged.
âDom?â
âSir?â
âGrab her,â I order, and then look away from her till I figure out why the f*ck did I have to fight the urge to bang Domâs head into the wall when I saw his hands on her.
