Augusta's POV (Past life):

"Fuck!" She stepped down from the bed and ran towards the window before opening the curtains. The sun was setting as she gazed out of the window. She had decided to dive deeper into her search for Lamas and realized his company name was familiar. ITech used to work with L-Tech because of the bond between both owners of the companies. But today they seemed to be rivals because she had noticed that even then, a lot of L-Tech top contributors tried to persuade her to come to their company. She was so loyal to ITech, till she was unjustly kicked out. Unfortunately, her father owned ITech. It was so perplexing that he would chase his daughter out of his company because she was rumoured to be unfaithful. Since then she had her eyes on L-Tech but still wanted to prove to her father that she meant no harm at all for the company and that what they were all saying were rumours. But it was too late. Now someone else was operating that company, believing the entire family was dead. But she certainly was going to get her father's company back. Nobody else deserved to touch his sweat.

And about Lamas, he founded the L-Tech company which is now one of the most successful companies in the world. Not only that he was also named amongst the top 20 entrepreneurs in the magazines and blogs written about it. Even Google testified to it. It was so clear to Augusta now...his way of life. When the list of people he had worked with popped up on the screen, she just knew that it couldn't be any other than the mafias. He worked with them but wasn't one of them. He knew and moved with the top mafias of all time. Having won so many awards for his commendable work in the tech industry, he was featured on so many publications, even Forbes. His company is known for the best approach to problem solving giving the best services to their consumers.

Moreso, this organization has saved many industries millions of dollars. She cocked a brow...since he was inviting her to join his company, he did want to get this sex slave girl's whereabouts. She didn't even know her name, but she knew the girl was still existing. She sighed and decided to search for Derek Antonio online. Her brows jerked upwards because the pictures she was seeing here were epic. He wasn't anonymous as a person, but he was as a mafia. Nobody knew, it he controlled the mafia... nobody knew he was like a god there. On the internet, he was an individual, a normal person like the rest of the world.

And yes, he owned a lot of businesses...outside slave trafficking, drug dealing and strip clubs, he owned world-known hotels and when she checked the people he had worked with...yeah, I knew who they were alright... mafias dressed as normal individuals. My family and she used to work for these people. It wasn't a new thing for us to see them on the internet for the world to believe they're innocent. She checked through the pictures and one of them particularly caught her eye. Lornado... Lornado Shawn. Never seen him here before. Was he part of the mafia? She checked for his name and realized he was a best friend of Matteo Field. Matteo was murdered in cold blood though, but nobody knows who could have killed him. Matteo Field...the name rang a bell...Seth Field. Where are they related? She placed their photos side by side and well...saw no resemblance...till she read the article under it. Matteo Field wasn't a part of the family...he was adopted by their parents when he was five years old. Well, this is suspicious. Why wouldn't anyone think Seth...who was the only family, had something to do with his death? He was also responsible for making a little girl a slut. No math states he's also not the murderer. But who was she to jump to conclusions though? She went back to Derek's page and stared for quite some time. His piercing eyes seemed as though they were on her. His nose was straight and pointed along with those goddamn lips that looked so kissable. But she knew he'd never kissed any woman he'd slept with. Her eyes were on them, full and plump, completely natural. He was so sexy, with those abs that many girls would die to touch. Augusta was nearly drooling. She scrolled down the images of him...even his voice suited his features and physique... masculine and husky.

She continued scrolling down his Instagram pictures when she noticed a video of him being interviewed. Clicking on it to hear his voice, she found it didn't disappoint. The tone and intonation of his very masculine voice had her jaw on the bed. His blue iris glistened under the lights as he spoke. The maturity his voice exuded made the crowd quiet while he explained the reasons why he had started his business and what it took to build it...how being a leader of a company that made billions every six months was quite challenging. She understood, though, not from experience but from the fact that most billionaires mentioned the same thing. Getting to the top is a rough road, and when you get there, you've got to maintain it, not lose the most important things like all you've worked for and even your reputation. She sighed.

She understood the number of ladies that would kill for this job with Derek. And honestly, she also knew the amount of women who would die if they figured out who he was. But now that she had absolutely nothing on her, she needed the money. She also needed to get everything that was hers back, even ITech. She laid back on her bed, trying to calm herself. She had to be chosen, or...it wouldn't be good for her at all.

Getting down from her bed, she headed to take a shower. Her stomach grumbled, indicating her great need for food. After bathing, she put on her robe and walked out of the room. Then there came a knock on the door. A woman quietly and innocently spoke from the other end.

"Ms, you must be hungry. I just prepared some food for the boss along with your food as well." The woman stated and without further ado, Augusta jumped down from the bed and ran out of the room, past the maid and down the stairs not knowing what came over her. But as she rushed down the stairs, what she didn't expect was to hit a very hard way..chest. She found herself falling straight to the ground and yeah this wasn't a fairytale book where the guy caught the girl. She'd at least wished, but it wasn't happening. She landed straight unto a soft...her brows furrowed...arm? She slowly opened her eyes and saw Derek staring at her with his face as stony as ever. And yes...he caught her and now she was certainly speechless. And there was something about his eyes...they were blood red with anger. She didn't know when her heart dropped because it was obvious that he needed something urgently.
