Chapter 2

Ashton

"Get up, babe. I hate drama. I didn't buy you for a hundred million dollars just to watch you cry and be dramatic in front of me." The man said in a baritone voice but I couldn't understand what he was saying, my mind was in a state of confusion right now.

Up to this moment, I still can't believe what Zie did to me. He just confessed his love for me the other night. Was it all a lie when he told me he loves me?

My chest is too tight and heavy for me to carry. I tried my best to hold my tears but my eyes seemed to have a mind of their own. I shake my head to stop my tears from dripping down my eyes.

"N-No! This is not happening. This is just a bad dream. This is just a fucking bad dream." I said to myself and repeatedly slapped my cheeks until it gets numb.

"Have you seen a gun before?" The man said out of nowhere which makes me looked up to him and frowned as I looked at the man. I almost fainted when I saw the gun he was holding carelessly, I lost all my strength and quickly stopped crying.

"Why did you stop crying? Just keep on crying, keep the drama going. But don't blame me if I run out of patience and accidentally pulled the trigger of the gun I was holding." The man said sarcastically.

My heart beats faster upon hearing what he said.

"I think this is just a mistake. I need to call Zie, I know he won't sell me, he wouldn't do this to me. I'm sure you did something so, you force him that's why I'm here now." I accused him but he just raised his eyebrows looking at me with an amused face, he grinned foolishly so much for my annoyance.

"This is not a mistake, babe. You're mine now." He responded calmly and placed the gun on the table.

"No!" I shouted and got up from the floor, I turned my back on the man and was about to come out of the dining area when another man blocked the door, this was the man who takes me here to the dining area to meet his boss, his lunatic boss who claims that I am his property.

I immediately stopped and hardly swallowed my saliva in extreme nervousness when I saw the gun he was holding pointing into my direction. What's with these people? Why are they aiming their guns at me? Fuckers! I am freaking nervous and scared but I kept showing them the opposite of what I feel. I won't give them the satisfaction of seeing me dejected.

"Let him go, Brando." Suddenly the man who I assume was the boss spoke. Brando stared at me before slowly lowering the gun he was holding.

Even though my knees were shaking with nervousness I was still able to step my foot and get out of the dining area, Brando didn't stop me. I looked around confused, I didn't know where I was going. I wonder why the boss just let me go but I don't have the luxury of time to figure that out, the important thing right now is that I can get out of this place.

I was walking briskly when I feel the ground shaking again so I immediately clung to the wall.

"Shit! Why is there so much earthquake today?" I cussed and closed my eyes when I feel my head hurts again. After a while, the shaking subsided so I continued walking and looked for a way out.

I want to get out of this place already, I want to see Zie and ask him the things that have been bothering my mind for a while. I want to hear the truth from his mouth. I know he has a good explanation for why I ended up in this place.

"Fuck! Where the hell is the end of this freaking hallway? This hotel is too big." I whisper to myself frustratedly, I continued to walk through the hallway until I saw a door where there was a peeping light. Somehow I felt relieved seeing as there is a slight chance of getting out of this place.

I quickly ran towards the door and as I got closer, I can't hold my smile as I pulled the door open. A dazzling light flashed through me so I automatically put my hand over my face to cover my eyes from the blinding light.

I slowly walked out, a salt air embraces my body. The air is a bit cold but it feels good. As I gradually got used to the light I slowly lowered my hand.

My eyes widen when I got a clear picture of where I am now. "What the fuck?" I cuss as my blood boils in anger. This is ridiculous, note my sarcasm.

All the hope I had felt before was gone like a bubble. A total shit! What does this mean? That's why no one is stopping me from leaving that dining area because they know that no matter what I do, I will not be able to leave this place.

I could see nothing in front of me but a vast blue ocean.

Everything makes sense to me now, it wasn't an earthquake, the ground was shaking because I was inside the yacht and not in a fucking hotel.

I swallowed my saliva one after another, slowly walking forward until I reached the railing where the deep ocean could be overlooked. I stared at the distant part of the ocean, my mind suddenly went blank.

This is the worst thing that happened to me, I don't even know where I am, whether I am still in the Philippines or not.

As I looked into the distance of the vast blue ocean, tears suddenly dripped from my eyes. The pain and disappointment I was feeling were so heavy and all I could do was cry to somehow lighten the burden.

"Do you like the view?" A baritone voice of a man spoke behind me, I didn't dare to look back because even though I only heard that voice today, I knew very well who the voice was from.

"I also like the view, it's peaceful and relaxing. Here, I can think clearly." The man said behind me again and for the second time, I ignored him.

Tears continue to trickle in my eyes, I place my hand around my heart and squeeze in hopes to stop myself from crying, but the more I force my self to stop from crying, the harder I cry.

"Don't fret, babe. This is your new home now." The man said, I heard footsteps approaching towards where I was standing so I quickly wiped the tears on my face, even though I knew he had already noticed my crying.
