In a dimly red cold small room, a middle-aged man was seen kneeling down with his hand tied behind him. His teeth clashed together, adrenaline rolled down his body. He feel extremely hot even when the room was so cold.

"I'm... sorry." He muttered choking on his words, shaking visibly. He looked pale as ghost. He could only stared at the shining black oxford shoes. he dared not raised his head up to look at the owner.

"I won't tamper with your goods anymore."

A dark chuckle filled the room, it was shocked and terrifying. It scared everyone except the owner, then the man crouched to his level.

His blue-eyes filled with darkness stared at the shivering man on the ground.

"What is my name?" The question threw the man off guard.

"The... devil."

"You messed with the devil and guess what, there won't be another time."

He stood up and raise to his giant 6.5 height, he glanced at the shivering man on the floor.

He doesn't kill by gun, the fear of him only kill them. He took a second glanced at him and shook his head before he fired two bullet into his thighs. A loud agony shout filled the room as the man jerk in pain and slumped to the ground. That should kill him slowly and painfully.

He is the devil!

He marched out with the man groaning in pain behind him which only pleased him more. Satisfaction run through his body. He love how petrified his moan sounds.

"Boss." His right handed man called with a light bow as he came out of the dark room.

"Speak Maxwell,"

"The cars are ready." He announced.

Time to get laid, he thought.

"Mom, you have to eat so you could use your drug." Jasira said to her mother who pulled the duvet over her head.

"Seriously mum." She rolled her eyes when she didn't burge.

Her mother slowly pulled down the duvet and pouted at her, "Will it stop the pain permanently?" She asked piercings her grey eyes into hers.

Jasira felt her a deep pain eaten deep into her heart hearing what her mother said. She gulped down before she put on a forced smile, "Of course." She beamed.

"And you will be able to sleep." She added.

"Okay, I want it." Her mother beamed like a baby before she yanked the duvet away and sat up quickly. Jasira breathe in relieve after she gulped down the drug.

"Now you can sleep peacefully." She muttered sweetly as she tucked her in.

She waited for some minutes glancing at her closed eyes after noticing she was not faking it anymore. She walked out of the room to her room.

She exhaled deeply, her eyes moved to the small almost pieced wall clock on the floor.

"Holy moly, I'm late." She half screamed before she dashed to her small sized wardrobe.

She flunged it open and the door fell to the floor, "What have I done?" She cried staring at the detached door on the floor.

Now, she had this add this to the money she was looking for. She hissed annoyed, her eyes ransacked the wardrobe quickly before she brought out a blue bodycon gown. she threw it on quickly and grabbed her purse which had her phone and some cash stacked in it.

She went back to her mother's room and saw her sleeping peacefully on the bed.

She sighed and quickly turned away, closing the door quietly and locked the main entrance door on her way out. She dropped the keys in her purse.

A hiss left her mouth when the cold breeze hit her skin, she rubbed her palm together and rubbed them on her arm. She hated harmattan so much, she preferred the sunny hot day, the cold gave her chills. The cold breeze blew her hair to her face which she brought back and walked briskly to the bus station.

"Midwest club." She flagged down a taxi who halted immediately.

"Midwest club." She said again.

"Ten dollars." He answered simply and she groaned at the high price before stepping in.

She stared at the road side and the stars on the sky, the cool breeze made her skin tingling. She brought in her head from the opened window and sighed.

She felt disturbed without knowing the reasons, maybe it was because of her mother's health. She needed two million dollar to settle her health bills plus every payment she owned. Her job as a waitress at Midwest club was the only chance to get the money faster...

"We are here, ma." The cab driver announced as the car stopped before a buzzling club.

She handed him his money and allighted from the cab, he zoomed off immediately. Jasira did a quick scan at her phone to check the time seeing how late she was. She decided to went in through the back door.

"Hey." A blonde girl greeted her with a smile.

"Barbie." She smiled back at her calling her with her nickname.

She glared at her playfully which they both laugh.

"Put on your uniform before the manager started yelling." She said whispering the last words. Jasira chuckled and nodded her head.

"He Is at your back." Barbie whispered, her face turning blue and Jasira stiffed.

"When?" She said frantically turning back swiftly and saw no one. She turned to lashed out at Barbie but she had ran away while laughing.

"Ptf!" She puffed out shaking her head and walked away.

She would get back to her.

She got to their dressing room answering the greeting from other people. She opened her drawer and brought out her clothes, dropped them on the desk beside her.

In short time, she was done putting on her uniform which was a short gown that stop before her knees. The sleeveless black gown with a white lace at the short sleeve arm and a white lace tapping the hem. It also has a low back and hugged her body tightly.

She change her flat shoes to heels, she exhaled and walked out of the changing room.

The sweat, the alcohol, the breathes and the sins welcomed her immediately she stepped into the main part of the club.

Her eyes roamed round the club and stopped at the dancing stage, the strippers doing what they know best and a lot of men ogling over them even women.

It was nothing to her now since she had used more than two months here now.

"Jasira," Barbie shouted her name from the counter, even though she shouted her name, it only sounds like a faint call due to the loud music. She smiled before she walked briskly to her.

"Why are your eyes fixed on the strippers?" She cocked her brow at her.

"You wanna join them?" She winked which make her groaned and shook her head at her.

She was about to say something when the manager trodded toward their desk.

Barbie hissed lightly and Jasira rolled her eyes, they dislike the manager so much, he is so bossy.

He got to them, study their expression which made him scoffed, he knew they hated him and he doesn't give a fuck.

He narrowed his eyes at them and a slight smirk appeared on his face as he pocketed his hands.

"Is this what you guys should be doing?" He snapped at them, shaking his head at their neglecting habit.

Jasira rolled her eyes a bit without his knowledge before she turned to him.

"We will get back to work now." She said in her most sweet voice just for him to leave them alone.

He scoffed and was about to turned back but stopped when he remembered something.

"We are having a VVIP customer today." He paused and stared at them before he continued. "Please you guys should behave and did all what he want." His words came out like a plea which he had never done.

Jasira was stunned hearing how soft his voice sound, she nodded assuringly at him then he walked away.

She turned to Barbie to asked if she saw how he did back then but she was busy.

"I will attend to that man." She rushed pointing at the man who just got in.

"Okay." Jasira replied simply.

It was only five minutes later when Barbie was not with her when the glass door threw open and three men dressed In black suit trodded in.

The dark aura they came in with pulled a lot of eyes to them. Everybody was eagered to saw the faces behind the black half mask they had on even Jasira whose eyes was fixed on the man in the middle whose suit was jet black and had a big shining wristwatch on and a silver crest ring on his pinkie.

She was sure she was not the only one amazed by the men especially the middle one with glowing blue eyes like the ocean. Her eyes followed them to the VVIP section. They found their way like they were very familiar with the club.

She was still ogling over them when the manager stood at her front blocking her gaze in process.

"What?" She was closed to snapping at him when she changed her tone immediately.

"Attend to them." He said nothing more than that before he walked away more like running away.

What is wrong wit him today? She wondered staring at his retreating figure before she grabbed her jotter and a pen then walked to the mysterious men.

She couldn't help her heart that was pondering hard In her chest as she approached their table. The goosebumps peppering her open skin and her cleavage that suddenly became hot at the gaze the blue-eyed was casting on them.

"G... good evening." The words flew out of her mouth subconsciously, she bite her lips at the nonsense she blurted out.

"I.. I mean what did you want?" She still shuttered not getting her words correct, that was not even the line she was supposed to said. She braced herself up, her eyes lock with the blue- eyed one for a second before she tore it away immediately. She watched as he communicated with the huge man beside him without saying anything but a twitch in his eyes.

"Yes boss." He muttered. How husky his voice was didn't really surprised her. He look so huge and matured enough to own the voice. He dipped his hand into his pocket and brought out two bundles of hundreds dollar.

"Here." Maxwell passed to Jasira who cocked her brow stunningly.

"I haven't take your orders."

"One night stand with my boss." Maxwell cut her up with his sharp tone.

For some minutes, Jasira was stunned, her lips curved into a small circle and she stared at him with a unbelievable eyes. She might be poor but not a prostitute. She chuckled lightly and turned to him.

"Thanks." She said politely and turned away from them.

"Stop." Her leg forced to halt upon hearing the coldest voice. She had never heard a voice as cold and thick as that. Cold ran through her spine as she turned to them. Her knees weakened when she saw the sharp blue eyes fixed on her. She tore her gaze immediately and stared at the floor.

"Don't waste his time." Maxwell warned.

She swallowed the lump on her throat, they maybe scary but that won't break her gut.

"I'm sorry, I am only a waiter here not a whore." She answered politely once again.

"My boss want you and he must have you, stop making it difficult for yourself."

She was shocked to bone seeing the audacity he have, she didn't know when she scoffed out a short daring laugh, "In your boss dream!"

"What the hell?" Maxwell thundered standing on his feet immediately that made Jasira jerk back in fear.

Alejandro raised his hand up and she swore she saw his right eyes twiched and was back to normal as quick as it came.

"Let her go." He said. His voice was calm, extremely calm. She was supposed to be okay at the level of his voice but that scared her more than his deadly voice.

She forced her leg from the ground and took to her heels, she squat between the sweaty dancers and finally reached the desk.

She released the heavy breathe she never knew she was holding and glanced back at their side, even from the dim light. She can feel his eyes on her telling her she should have not done what she just did.

The cool breeze made Jasira shivered as she walked on the dark street to her house. It's two in the morning that she was done at the club and she needed to be home. It was not her first time walking alone at night but tonight it was dangerously silent, so silent that it sent shiver down her spine and made her throat dried up. She wrapped her hand over her body protectively and rubbed her arm.

It felt like she was being watched but each time she glanced back, all she saw was darkness and silence so she just increased her pace and in no time, she was home and locking her door.

"Phew!' She breathed in relieve walking wobbily to her mom's room.

Thankfully she was still sleeping so she went back to her room and laid on the bed.

Her mind reflected back to the blue-eyed man. He look strange, he emitted a strange dark aura with that huge man beside him who looked scary.

She exhaled and rolled to the other side of the bed, should she be scared of them? But how dare him? how could he referred her as a hooker?

She hissed in disgust before she pulled the duvet over her body and drifted to sleep.

******

The early morning sun shone brightly into Jasira's face making her squirt her face open and a yawn left her mouth.

She pulled the duvet away and checked time from her cracked screen phone.

Six in the morning, she still have an hour to get ready so she could used drugs for her mother.

Without wasting anymore time, she went to the washroom. She flicked her tired eyes opened as she stared at her reflection in the mirror.

Her light hazel eyes had dark circle under them. They looked so tired and had lost their shining attributes. Her olive skin was now rough and kinky.

It has been long she treated her skin so she looked rough and a bit ugly now but that was never her problem, her mother is her worry now. Her ginger hair stick out of her head with split end. She should found money to treat herself professionally.

She needed money for her surgery, two millions dollars for all her health expenses, she was diagnosed with leukemia a month ago but she had been mentally unstable since years ago and it got worse a year ago.

She needed money so bad.

She spat out the toothpaste foam out of her mouth and rinsed her mouth and face before she walked out to prepared something for her to eat.

****

"Bye mom." she pecked mother's cheeks and turned to the middle-aged woman who was her nanny, Marina.

"Please, take care of her." She pleaded and she gave her a small smile and walked out.

She closed the door and breathe in the fresh air skipping down the three staircase.

She stopped on the third when she saw a black Mercedes Benz pulled over in front of her house.

The door opened slowly and a man in his mid-thirties came out, he had a low hair on his head and his black eyes looked so darkened with his huge stature.

She squirted her eyes trying to remember where she had saw him then it clicked, he was the huge guy with the blue-eyed man.

What is he doing here? She adjusted her gown and raised her head high. She is going to pretend that she didn't saw him. She exhaled and by-passed their car.

"Miss." His thick voice reached out to her, her legs stopped on their own even when she didn't want it. It was as if she was being controlled. The man soon appeared in her front.

"Boss want to see you."

Jasira twitched her lips to a side in confusion, boss want to see her?

"Excuse you?"

"Who is your boss?"

"Don't made this harder, just go with us."

"No." She deadpanned and walked pass him but a hand dragged her back.

She stiffed when a cold metal hit her side, she glanced down to saw a pistol pointing to her rib.

"What?" She want to screamed but stop immediately, her mother's nanny is going to came out if the heard her voice.

She inhaled and exhaled before following him gently to the car. Every step she took towards the car made her heart thumped faster in her chest, her breath also quickened and came out sharper.

The was another huge guy in the car with a colder face, she swallowed her lump as she sat beside him and the guy entered after her.

The car zoomed off after that, "Where are you taking me to?" She demanded.

The guy glared at her coldly and said nothing.

She tucked his bicep and he snapped his head to her.

"I think I deserved some answer, mr man."

"Oh, you are not going to say anything right."

He turned to her and declared in a harsh and brutal voice.

"He didn't want you dead not injured, any more words from you and I will fire a bullet into your damn legs."

She clamped her mouth shut immediately as she swallowed the sudden lump in her throat.

She withdraw and brought her legs to the seat and hugged it close to her body. Her precious legs.

What kind of bastard is he?

She knew she shouldn't said anything and should just wait silently till they got to their destination, but Jasira is her name.

"You can fire me bullet or anything but that should be after you answer my damn question."

The man turned to her abruptly with a pistol pointed to her leg, and his hand ready to press the trigger.

Wait, He is not joking!

"You are not joking?" She jerked away in fear as she whimpered when he said nothing but glared dangerously at her leg.

"Please, don't shoot me." She pleaded ready to tear up.

Her heart thumped and a low whimper left her mouth when he didn't made attempt to withdraw the pistol.

"I will listen to your rules now." She promised and he gave her one last cold glare before he withdraw the gun.

A loud relieving breathe left her mouth as she rocked herself forward and backward with shaking hands.

What sort of shit is she in now?

The rest of the ride was nothing but silence and suffocating for Jasira. It was pure suffering to her, she wished for them to get to their destination quicker but the wish turn deadly when an iron gate slide open automatically and the car drove inside. She can't saw anything because the guys are blocking her view.

The car came to halt and a light sigh left her mouth. The huge guy stepped out leaving the door open for her, is he being nice or what? She thought as she shifted closer to the entrance.

She closed her eyes. Her breathe became sharpened and came out louder then she snapped her eyes open and stepped out of the car.

Her eyes flared up at the sight before her.

"Holy moly." She whispered absentmindedly.

Before her was a all white huge manor three story building with two huge pillars. The manor was adorned with gold light bringing out the lushed colors. The ground was a short green grass.

They beautified the floor and deep down, she felt like rolling on them.

The blue fountain that stood alone in the middle of the compound was breathtaking. A huge man statue with two large wings on his back stood in the middle with water pouring outof his mouth. She can't tell if he is an angel or devil but the blue-eyed man does not appeared to be an angel so the statue must be a devil.

The white manor was quite far to where their car is pack, she trekked behind the huge man until they finally got to the white door. Two dragons head was craved on it, their mouth was opened and something was coming from it, something she identified as fire.

Shudder run through her body when she notice them, it was as if they were opening fire on her body.

The door opened automatically and she was not that surprised judging from how big the Manor is, it must have a lot of security and machines.

The lounge room appeared after they passed through a silent passage

"Wow." She muttered as her eyes run through the lounge room.

It was hectic magnificent, it was freaking gorgeous.

It was big, it was bigger than her entire house, she didn't even know what to describe, from the moderate wine cellar that stand magnificently at a side or the huge television with fire place underneath.

The white shiny leather sofas or the staircase that has full dragon statue on it newel cap.

The white marble floor that has dragon imprinted on them, she was still admiring the lounge room when a heavy steps echoed the room.

A lump found it way to her throat and she swallowed it and rubbed her sudden sweaty hand together. The footsteps got heavier and louder but no one showed up, only the footsteps was making her chest ripping into two.

And with a blink of eyes, The blue-eyed monster appeared on the last row of staircase in his all black outfit. His right was dipped into the pocket of his slack. Her stomach bubbled seeing how attractive he was. He was attractively muscular lean with his broad chest. His detailed sharp eyebrows.

Jasira moved two steps backward when he got down from the stairs, his blue eyes was fixed on her. She wanted to raised her eyes to meet with his but she dared not, the heavy dark aura surrounding him as he approached her made her forced her eyes on the ground.

Every step he took close to her made her body shook and her teeth clashed.

He stopped few meters to her and pierced his eyes into her chest. He released a low smirk before he went to sat on the sofa instead.

Where is the kickass girl of yesterday? She was before him shivering, why? Because he is the devil!

"Go to his front." Maxwell ordered and she glared at him.

"What?" She mouthed in defense.

"Nope." She deadpanned in a low voice as she shifted back.

"Will you preferred if he is here?"

Jasira said nothing and breathe out, in and out for three times before she forced her legs from the ground and submitted herself to his front.

Her eyes were on his sparkling black shoe. His silence was more of a punishment to her, should she speak first? She denied the idea and only waited till he was ready to speak.

"Name." His voice was as terrifying like yesterday, his voice that can only sent shivers through her body.

"Ja... jasira." She shuttered and exhale, she is Jasira, she is not supposed to be scared but the unknown man made her bend.

"Eyes on me."

His command cut deep through her spine, staring at him is like staring at fire, it burns every second you stared at it.

Despite the pain, she found herself making eyes contact with him.

Now, she took notice of his feature very clearly. His eagle sharp blue eyes, his pointed nose that brought out his sharp eyes. His detailed eyebrow, a sharp pointed jawline that is beardless. His face that is cold as a ice but the beauty is really there.

It was coming together to her, the white Manor, the dragons, the fire, the fountain. He is no other person than;

A loud gasps left her mouth in realization as she jerk back from him.

"You... you___

He raised his brow and twitched his lips, " Say it." He dared.

"You are the devil." The words fly out of her mouth like a volcano when erupted.

She moved back frantically from him. He was the devil, the man feared by all. He was the man that the newscaster talk about every week. The man who owned the world to himself and the man whose real name was hidden from the world, he was identified by the name, The Devil.

She messed with the devil. Thinking about that made shiver ran through her spine, made her leg shook slightly and made her bowel churned, pressing her hand on her stomach so she won't released the liquid that is threatenng to leave her body.

"What... what did_" She swallowed her words when his sharp eyes pierced through her body.

She directed her gaze to where he was looking, her heart. He was freaking looking at her fucking heart.

Her hands fly to her heart repulsedly and she covered it. She shut her eyes closed for seconds and breathe in, don't be scared by him. She chanted in her head three times before she snapped her eyes open.

She retaliate the stare and directed her gaze into his blue eyeballs, his look was terrifying, it was cold, it cut deep into her heart and made her body trembled but she was not going to back away.

With every strength and courage she had, she asked;

"What did you want from me, the devil?"

A thin smirk appeared on his face and it disappeared as it came. She had the courage. The first Lady to stared into his eyeballs, the first female to questioned him, he want to break that courage and he will.

Afterall, he is the devil, his name only sent shiver through the human spine and this small lady with big courage standing before him is not excepted.

"You know what I want?"

Jasira blinked wondering what he meant by that then it clicked, he want her body.

She chuckled. She didn't know how her chuckled got dark and carried the dark aura, this is not her but she love the new her, there was no reaction on his face and she expected that but her next words will throw him over the board.

"In your dream."
