Chapter 33

Ashton

"Christian will give you a ride to the beach, Ash," Mason said causing me to frown when I heard what he said.

"Excuse me?" I couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at him. I wondered why he was ordering me to ride in his friend’s car for goddamn sake. Christian is Mason's friend, the mastermind of everything that happened in the pool where they gang bang a slut for pay girl.

I can't help but be nervous and I'm also starting to feel doubt about what he wants me to do.

"Stop frowning Ashton, Christian will give you a ride and that's final," Mason said firmly and handed me the bag that I'm bringing to the beach, what's inside is mostly clothes that Mason lend to me.

"You're planning something I don't like, Mason," I replied and raised an eyebrow at him, I did not move from where I was standing. Mason and his friends were just looking at us including Christian who looked at us with a bored face.

"Oh please, you'll like it," Mason said with a grin which doesn't help to ease the nervousness and the doubt I felt about this whole set-up. Then without a word Mason got inside his car. I looked in Christian's direction and raised my middle finger at him before I walked towards Mason's car and opened the back door but it did not open. I went to the other door and I was about to open it when Mason's friends preceded me and they went inside one by one until the car was full. I clenched my fist out of frustration, I was so annoyed at Mason and his friends that I kicked the door of his car but Mason's friends would only give me a knowing smile. When I looked at Mason he suddenly gave me a flying kiss and his car sped off.

"Great! Fucking great." I said annoyed and looked at Christian, we were standing here outside Mason's house and I knew that he's waiting for me to get in his fucking car.

"Anong tinitingin-tingin mo riyan? Tanginang Mason 'yon iwan ba naman ako sa kaibigan niyang malibog." I said in a different language so that Christian won't understand what I'm saying. He was looking at me with a confused face as I hurriedly walked towards his car.

(Trans: What are you looking at? What the fuck's going on in Mason's mind that he left me with this horny bastard.)

"What did you just say?" Christian asked with a curious tone but I did not answer him and opened the door of his car and went inside. After a second, Christian also entered the car.

As Christian drives down the road I couldn't help but ask myself if the path we were taking was right. I was overthinking about Christian taking me to somewhere else or what if Fred ordered him to assassinate me because I blackmailed him about his plans of killing his wife to acquire all Amanda's assets or worst this is just a trap, what if Christian is heading to the way where Luciano is. Fuck! I will not let him ruin my escape.

"Where are we going?" I asked Christian while still staring at the window of his car, trying to remember the places we passed by in case something I don't like happened.

"Mayan Riviera Beach, is this your first time?" Christian replied and I just nodded in response.

I did not even realize how many minutes we had been on the road until Christian suddenly stopped the car. My eyebrows immediately rose when I saw a large house in front of me that was very familiar to me because if memory serves me right, this is Christian's house where Mason takes me for a pool party.

"And here I thought we're going to Mayan Riviera Beach? This is your fucking house, not the beach." I said to Christian with a gritted teeth as I slowly felt nervous especially when I saw the evil smirk on his lips. I tightened my grip on the bag I was holding, I will throw this bag with all my force on his face if he tries to do something I don't like.

"Get out," Christian ordered and he opened the car door for me.

"What's going on, Christian? Why I am here?" I asked him but he just smirks at me and motion for me to get out of the car. I did not move, I remained seated in my chair.

"Ah, come on. I don't want to hurt you so get the fuck out of my car before I blow your empty head." Christian said and my eyes widened when I saw him pull a gun that he is hiding under his waistband. He was not even satisfied threatening me with his gun, he pointed the gun at my forehead so I almost fainted when I felt the cold metal on my forehead.

Fuck you, Mason. Fuck you.

Mason knows what is going on right now, all his friends know what Christian is planning to do to me. So Mason wanted me to ride in Christian's car, I do not know what they are planning or what Christian intends to do to me but one thing for sure, I'm not gonna fall with their trap without putting a goddamn fight. I'm tired of being weak, I'm tired of these men abusing me physically and mentally, it's time for me to get a little braver and fight back even if it means losing my life.

"Do it." I challenged Christian and looked at him seriously, I could see the shock on his face, he did not expect my answer. He thought I was scared and would be submissive to him because he was holding a gun. I can see that he doesn't like my answer and his grip on the gun tightened as if he was contemplating if he will pull the trigger or not.

"As much as I want to kill you, I still need to do what I was instructed to do. Get out of that damn car or you want me to drag you to the house, your choice." Christian said and lowered the gun he was holding.

I heaved a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean you need to do what you were instructed to? Who the fuck order you to do this?" I asked Christian curiously and slowly got out of the car.

"You don't need to know," Christian responded and suddenly grabbed my hair and walked quickly causing me to scream when I felt an immense pain while trying to walk fast.

"Fuck! Let me go." I complained to Christian and tried to remove his hand that was grabbing my hair violently but he only tightened his grip on me.

Until I heard the door open and he pulled me inside their house. When we were in the living room, Christian violently pushed me on the big sofa.

"Fuck you!" I shouted at him at the top of my lungs. Until now, I can still feel the pain of him tweaking my hair.

Christian left me in the living room, I did not know where he went. For a moment, I thought of running out of the house but I knew I could not get away from this place and Christian would catch me easily because their house has huge gates with a surveillance camera. This is my second time in this place and I always observed my surroundings.

A few moments later, Christian returned to the living room holding two glasses, one glass with orange juice, and one glass with milk. My forehead furrowed as Christian laid the glass on the table in front of me.

"Why don't we play a game?" Christian suddenly asked me and smiled foolishly as if he had something else to mean.

"What kind of game?" I asked him and forced myself to read every expression on Christian's face. Did Mason know this? Did they plan this whole thing? But the question that bugged me for a while now is why Christian is doing this to me? It doesn't make sense, I never did anything to him.

"A game of life," Christian replied and walked towards the cabinet, he was searching for something.

"Game of life," I repeated and Christian just nodded while continuing to rummage inside the cabinet.

"Voila!" Christian suddenly said and turned around to face me. I can't help but raise my eyebrows when I saw him holding a tripod and a camera.

"Are you going to film this?" I asked him and my heartbeat quickened even more. I no longer like what is happening, I don't have a good feeling about this.

"For documentation," Christian said sparingly and placed the tripod and camera on the table, the camera lens was focused in front of me.

"Okay, shall we start?
