Tring... Tring...

"Who the hell is calling me this early in the morning?" A frustrated Ashton shouted but the phone didn't stop ringing

He pulled the pillows on his ear and slept on his stomach trying to close his ears with pillow but still the voice of ring could be heard. After debating with himself he got up and picked the call.

"What the hell do you want?" He shouted on the phone

"S... Sir" the man on the other end stammered

"What? Who's this?" He asked raking his hand behind his hair

"Sir it's me John" the other men said with terrified voice

Ashton pulled the phone from ear and check the caller ID. It was his private detective John Hamilton. He sighed and lied down on the bed keeping the call on speaker.

"Say why did you call this early?" He asked

"I found about Miss Hayes"

"Better this time you have something good news about her or else I won't budge to kill you" he said in a death serious tone

A fear engulfed in John but calming his marathon running nerves he said "sir she is in Korea. South Seoul"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes.. she is with her mother in Korea.. I'll send you the address and other details" John said and cancel the call

'I should have known it she would be with her.. her mother that women isn't anywhere near to be called as a mother..." he gritted his teeth in anger and marched in the bathroom to take a hot shower calming his shoulders.

After the search of one and a half year he finally found her. Natalia. The girl who has stolen his heart since the time she slapped him and mouth him an asshole in front of two board members.

He clearly remember the day when he first met Natalia. He was presenting the deal to the board members and she was late for the meeting with her boss Nicholas. The owner of Wittgenstein Enterprise.

He scanned her from head to toe the white office shirt hugged her perfect curves and the long pencil skirt was tightly fitted on her ass. When she walked in front of him he got a clear view of an amazing ass.

After the meeting was over he signed the deal with other companies and then stood his best friend Nicholas Wittgenstein to hug him. He saw Natalia and his heart skipped a beat cause of the gorgeous smile on her face.

When Nicholas went to meet other members he approached Natalia. Standing just a foot away from her eyeing her, absorbing her beauty in his eyes.

"Excuse me beautiful!!" He said huskily

She turned around and gulped her saliva due to his husky intimate voice. "Do you need anything Mr Cross?" She asked looking at the ground

"Yes... a night with you" as the words slipped from his lips his cheek came in contact with a soft hands but the voice was hard.

She slapped him

"Asshole" she murmured and turn her heels to go

Thanks to Ashton's stars there were only two members and his best friend were present. Or else his reputation would had flooded in water. But it didn't made him angry. He couldn't feel the slap if he could feel something then it was how his hand felt against his cheek.

Soft yet hard

He closed the shower and pulled a towel to cover his naked body. He covered the towel around his waist and came out directing his footsteps to closet.

He removed his white office shirt, black pants and black blazer and a black tie. The colour black was a normal wear for him cause he didn't find any other colours except darkness. Black. He wore his Golden Rolex watch adjusted his blazer properly. He walked to the set of shoes and removed RedChief's mens leather shoes and wore them.

He took his wallet and phone and stormed out of the room. On the way downstairs of his luxurious mansion he dialled his P.A Cedric's number

"Good Morning sir" Cedric said from the other end

"Cedric I need a ticket for Korea. South Seoul within next hour" he said and sat on the dinning table

The servants arrived with breakfast and placed in front of him. They served the sugar less and milk less coffee to him and he nodded his head means they are dismissed.

"But sir in next hour how will I book ticket so early?" Cedric said in horror

"For what I pay you?" He barked on the phone

"Sir... I'll try my best" he said with a low voice

"Better call me if you find the ticket or else don't call me your fired" he said and cancelled the call

The time was slipping from his hand. Minutes by minutes, second by second the fear was engulfing him. He knew her mother Veronica can do anything with her that was the main reason she ran away but she couldn't run longer they eventually caught her.

He drank his black coffee and checked several emails. His phone again ranged the ID showing Cedric.

"Hello..." he said in a death tone it was enough to scare anybody's shit.

"S...Sir... I've the ticket" Cedric stammered out of fear

"Good!! Inform in office I won't be available today" he said cancelled the call

After the long flight he finally reached South Seoul. His heart was hammering like a slegh hammer. The nerves in his body went wild. He could feel the hair of his body rising but he had a hard face which didn't show any emotions.

That's the main reason he loves black colour. Black hides zillion of emotions and colours in it. Your feelings are never caught by anyone if it covered in black. Darkness.

He reached Veronica's house. The house was decorated means some functions were going to be held. In the backyard there was a stage a mike in middle and chairs were occupied with Old, Fat and young Billionaire's and some People who had lot of money. It was kind of auction he thought.

He entered and asked a servant to call Veronica and tell her Ashton Cross came to meet her.

He waited on the living room couch for the women. The house was luxurious and only people found were prostitutes. Many womens passed by him throwing flirty glances, trying to talk to him or seduce him. He wandered did Veronica also wanted Natalia to do the same that may be the reason she ran away three years ago.

He knew prostitution field held lot of money. Veronica wasn't going to be this easy on him. He knows how much kind of Gold Digger she is.

Veronica came downstairs in her heavy dress which shows almost most of her cleavage and the cloth was too thin to show all of her body. The women was the age of his mother. He shifted uncomfortably.

"I figured you wanted to meet me" she said

"Where is Natalia?" He asked

"If you want my Virgin Daughter than there is an auction outside she will be sold out there" she said flickering her curls

"What?? Your going to sell your own daughter?" He asked with horrified expression

He looked at her eyes and searched for something humorous but no she was dead serious "yes.. just for one night.. the amount starts from hundred thousand. C'mon who would leave the chance of sleeping with a Virgin" she said and offered the drink the servant brought

"What's the cost of life time?" He asked

She looked dazed with his questions "How much can you pay?"

"Before I declare the amount I need to clear things" he said like it was businesses

"What thing?"

"You won't tell anyone who Natalia is. That she is your daughter... If I get her, her parents would be dead. She will become an orphan. No relation with you or anyone. No phone calls from you not even a word. You both will become strangers to each other. You will leave her, free her from your world"

"How much can you pay?"

"How much did your last virgin was sold?"

"One Million Dollar"

"Hundred Million Dollars..."
