The restaurant was well-decorated and elegant in an old-fashioned way. Kaia silently thought while she handed her coat over and informed the polite hostess that she was there to meet Eton Domino. The woman smiled before leading her to a table in the secluded corner of the restaurant.
And surprisingly, he was already seated at the table, his body language relaxed, almost bored. The pictures didn’t do him justice, Kaia thought. They failed to capture the intensity of his presence, and those eyes were actually more unsettling in person.It took every bit of her self-control not to blush and fidget as the guy studied her coolly.“Good evening. My father was unable to attend and sent me in his stead,” Kaia said, extending her hand for a handshake. “Kaia Kennedy.”Eton Domino didn’t even move an inch, his pale blue eyes boring into her.Eton wanted to actually laugh out loud when he saw her step inside the restaurant. Of course she knew her. Had seen her and even remembered all the details about her. He had studied everything about Arthur Kennedy that he already memorized every single detail about him. And that also applies to his only child. Kaia Kenndy, 25. A graduate from Harvard. Had been in a dozen relationships ever since she got in college. And also very frustrated to her young looking face.He had their family investigated not because he was interested in partnering with Arthur Kennedy. But because he wanted to settled a grudge against him. He hated that man and he'll do anything just to make him pay from all those things he did in the past...But first thing first he needed this girl.. However, taking the initiative to be a nice man to her, there's no fucking way he could act like that..Eton grasp his palm under the table, growing frustrated with himself. “Is this a joke?” he said instead his accent non-existent. His low, cultured tone was impeccable by any standards.“Not at all,” She said, taking the seat opposite him and trying not to let it show how nervous she actually was. “My father is currently in London. He’s in the middle of an important negotiations. He can’t leave on such a short notice, so he sent me in his stead.”The man remained as still and seemingly relaxed as he had been before. But Kaia was pretty good at reading people. She didn’t miss the slight narrowing of those blue eyes.Eton took his wine and took a sip very slowly, his eyes still trained on her. “I don’t do business with children. You can’t be older than sixteen, maybe seventeen.”Kaia felt a blush color her cheeks. She’d known it would be an issue. At times like this, she seriously considering a plastic surgery to fix her ridiculous face. “I’m not a child,” she grounded out.But before she could say anything more to try to save this disastrous meeting from getting any worse, Eton pinned her with a look that could probably freeze lava.Kaia couldn’t breathe, caught in that gaze and unable to look away.“If your father couldn’t be bothered to show up, the least he could do was warn me so that I didn’t waste my time, either. Because if he's a busy man, my time is also precious..” Eton stood up. “Go home, little girl.”And then he was gone, two silent bodyguards joining him on his way out.At once, other sounds rushed in—soft piano music, hushed voices of other patrons—as if Kaia had been in some sort of sound bubble, as if the sheer force of his personality had muted everything else in his presence.And then Kaia realized what that man had called him condescendingly. A little girl. Her, a little girl?! That bastard???!She glared at the vacated seat, a fresh flush of humiliation washing over her. She had the strong urge to get up and leave, but she fought it. She hadn’t eaten anything since this morning. And she's starving. She might as well eat.Kaia signaled the closest waiter. And order her food.The food was delicious, but she could barely taste it with the disappointment and humiliation still churning in her stomach.There was also a great deal of apprehension. Instead of forwarding the email to her father, as she probably should have, she had acted on her own and failed. Mr. Domino had been pissed off by her father’s no-show. The ramifications of that were…uncertain at this point.Kaia knew nothing about the man to predict his reactions. She had no idea what the her wanted from her father, in hindsight, maybe she shouldn’t have poked her nose where it clearly didn’t belong, but she had been sick and tired of being kept in the dark and attending pointless events. She just wanted to know what her father was up to. Maybe it had been stupid to go blind into this, but she had always been confident in her own ability. Until that Italian tycoon with creepy eyes reduced her into a blushing, self-conscious kid.It was already late by the time she finished eating and left the restaurant.Kaia shivered slightly and hugged herself when a cold wind blew by. Ugh. Why it's so cold tonight??Looking around and noticing a cab parked nearby, Kaia smiled in relief and strode to it briskly. For the first time that day luck seemed to be on her side.She got into the car, told the driver the hotel’s address, and closed her eyes, her thoughts turning back to her first disastrous meeting with Eton Domino. There was no point kicking herself. It wasn’t her fault that the guy was a narrow-minded dick who thought it was beneath him to do business with someone who just happened to look very young. It was his mistake, not her. Kaia was nowhere as young and inexperienced as she looked.However, plastic surgery seemed increasingly tempting by the minute. One day, she was going to inherit her father’s business empire, and she couldn’t afford not to be taken seriously only because she looked like a pouting teenager.Kaia pulled a face at the thought. When she had been younger, she hoped her looks would mature with age, but by now she had pretty much given up on that hope. Well her body was different matter altogether, she silently thought when she looked at chest area and almost shout out loud when she saw that her breast wasnalmost about to burst out. God, surely she didn't looked like this when that asshole was talking to her. Secretly looking up at the driver she tidy herself a bit and made sure that her jacket were covering her properly this time. She's proud of her body but she's not that shameless.Kaia was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts when the car started accelerating.She looked straight ahead and frowned. “Hey, you sure it’s safe…” Her words trailed off as she turn and get a good looked outside the window. Wherever they were, they weren’t in the center of the city anymore. How long had she been daydreaming? “Sir, I’m pretty sure the hotel isn’t in this part of the city.”There was no reaction from the driver“Sir can you get back at the main road,” Kai said slowly enuciating the words carefully.The man said nothing. The car kept accelerating. It didn’t even seem like they were in the city anymore.Her heart pounding, Kaia bit her lip. Surely it wasn’t what it looked like, but it was better safe than sorry, right? Slowly, she slipped her hand into the right pocket of her coat, where she kept her phone. And cold sweat appeared on Arriane's forehead when her hand found nothing.Her breathing elevated as she searched her other pockets. And still there's nothing.Oh God...Kaiaķķ forced herself to stop panicking and started thinking. She met the driver’s eyes in the mirror.“Look, you don’t want to do it,” she said, trying to keep her voice calm and authoritative. “My father isn’t someone you want to piss off.”“Shut up,” the driver barked out.There was also the unmistakable sound of the safety being taken off of a gun.Kaia took a deep trembling breath. There was no point panicking. Panicking was worthless and stupid. Think. LeysnrnShe looked back. It was dark outside, but she could see two black SUVs following them. So the driver wasn’t working alone. It wasn’t an ordinary robbing. They knew who she was.Kaia wished she was more surprised, but she wasn’t. She was the only daughter of a billionaire. Her father had many enemies.“Whatever they’re paying you, I’ll pay you five times that much,” she said.The driver laughed shortly. “Dead men don’t need money, zhenshcina,” he said.A shiver ran up Kaia's spine at the implications of the guy’s words. Her stomach sank. The driver was too scared of the person who had hired him to betray them, no matter what she offered him. Fear was a powerful motivation.Which basically meant Kaia was screwed.Now she could only hope that, whoever was behind this, they just wanted a ransom.Nothing more.Nothing worse.________________________________________________Eton Domino watched the taxi in front of his car. It was running steadily meaning that woman was atleast knew what's good for her. At first when he saw her, he thought he's just dreaming. Everyday he's busy plotting his revenge at the man who shattered his world and lo and behold, fate had brought the only person who can make that man beg for his mercy. But Eton was not planning of forgiving him. Just remembering all the things he went through just because Arthur Kennedy was a sicko. Eton wanted him to suffer. Just the way he did. ......... Time dragged by. Minutes, hours, Kaia couldn’t tell. Her tired mind was busy conjuring up one horrible scenario after another as she waited for them to get to their destination, wherever the fuck it was. The driver had told her to shut up when she repeatedly tried to interrogate him, so she was left alone with her thoughts. As a teenager, Kaia always thought she had her life all figured out. She was going to fall in love with a nice, insanely
It's been a week, and any last remnants of Kaia's optimism were extinguished by the hunger gnawing at her insides. After all, her daily ration only consist of one slice of hard bread and a small bottle of water. She felt very tired and weak, and sometimes she also feel dizzy. In all her life she had never known true hunger, not until now. Kaia knew that if she didn’t have low blood sugar, it probably would have been nowhere as bad, but it was a small comfort when hunger kept her awake at night, curling up on the narrow bed, the only piece of furniture in the room she was kept in. The worst part was how some of the guards liked to torture her by eating all kinds of delicious-smelling food in front of her, laughing when she stared at them with hungry eyes and drooling mouth. Thankfully though, that's the only abuse they're giving her. Because in most cases she knew that a woman like her can experience much worse. Their boss hadn’t made an appearance yet. From what Kaia had overheard,
Eton Domino strode away from the captive’s room, his mood darker than ever.The maid he met on the way to his office took one look at him, paled, and ducked her head, as if hoping he wouldn’t notice her. Smart little thing. Too bad he was to worked up right now.He grabbed her arm. She froze, barely breathing.“Lena, is it?” he said quietly, eyeing her blond hair and slim figure. She wasn’t particularly pretty, but she had plush, soft-looking lips. His eyes lingered on them. His jaw tightened.“Yes,” she said meekly, glancing up at him for a moment before dropping her gaze. He could see her pulse beating madly at the delicate base of her neck. She was scared of him. Or perhaps she was excited. Probably both.Silently, he opened the door to his office and went in. He knew she would follow him inside.He wasn’t wrong. He rarely was.“Close the door,” he said.The door clicked shut behind him.There was a moment of silence, broken only by the howling of the wind outside and a tree branch
His head is throbbing with an incoming headache, that's why Eton Domino was in a foul mood when he entered his room later that night. He’d lost a great opportunity to increase his profit in Central Europe just because he hadn’t been there in person to see the deal through. What the fuck is the use of paying a lot of money to his executives if they couldn’t do anything without him? Sighing, he went to the en-suite and got some Tylenol from the first aid kit. Swallowing the pills, he suddenly stiffened at the noise in the adjoining room. Fucking shit. That almost gave him a heart attack. Of fucking course—the prisoner. He’d almost forgotten about his order to move her there. Eton unlocked the door, pushed it open, and entered the room. Kaia Kennedy was sitting on the bed, rubbing her stomach. She looked up, her eyes widening when she caught sight of him. Otherwise, she didn’t even flinch. Vlad had been right about one thing: the girl wasn’t prone to useless hysterics. “Thank you
The first hour had gone by and Kaia's still okay. Her stomach was full, the room was warm, and she even had something like a plan. She was relieved and a bit surprised by the punishment Eton had chosen for her. She had expected worse. At first, Kaia had been a little apprehensive when she devised the plan and worried to get caught in the act, but it all went without any problems. Eton had bought it. Now that the guy was assured of his own superiority and cleverness, assured that he could see right through her, it would be easier to soften him up and lure him into a false sense of security. Kaia felt a pang of shame before reminding herself not to be silly. Eton Domino was a criminal. Men like him deserved nothing less. Besides, it wasn’t like she was planning to kill the guy or something. She just wanted to save herself. She just wanted to go home. That was all. The second hour was harder, and the third hour was worse. She was getting more uncomfortable by the minute. Her knees w
When Kaia woke up the next day, it was already afternoon, although if it wasn’t for the clock on the wall, there would be no way she would know. Because once again, It was snowing outside.Kaia rubbed at her eyes and stretched in the soft bed, feeling deliciously well-rested and comfy. Her muscles ached a little, but she felt more comfortable than she had in ages. She still wasn’t sure why she had been moved from her old room to this suspiciously nice one, but she hoped it wasn’t just a fluke.Then, she recalled something. Had Eton really told her these were his personal rooms?Kaia flushed, remembering the circumstances of it. Fuck. Had she really let that man handle her, hold her while she pissed, and generally treat her like a thing? His thing?Kaia's stomach did a little flip-flop. Suddenly, she had a nearly irresistible urge to run. Run somewhere far away from that strange man with cruel eyes and gentle, proprietary hands.Though…she couldn’t deny that it all had gone rather sm
Kaia wasn’t sure what had woken her up. She just knew that she was lying on her side, sheets tangled at her feet.Something told her not to open her eyes, so she didn’t. She listened, straining her ears, unsure and anxious, goosebumps running down her arms.It was still night: she could hear an owl hooting in the distance, an eerie sound that made the hair on the back of her neck stand up. But there was something else. Someone else.There. The barely audible sound of breathing.Keeping her own breathing calm and even, Kaia slightly opened an eye. She had left the bedside lamp on when she’d gone to sleep, so she had no trouble seeing her surroundings. Except whoever was in the room with her—and she knew who it was—Eton Domino was standing on the other side of the bed and Kaia's back was turned to him.Then, she became aware of something else. Her shirt had ridden up, leaving her ass and legs completely exposed to Eton's eyes. Kaia's first urge was to yank the shirt down, but if she did
Kaia was panting when Eton finally pulled his cock out. She looked fucking wrecked, her lips even redder and fuller than usual, her dark eyes glazed over. Eton let his softening cock drag across the girl’s flushed cheek before flopping onto his back next to her.The room was silent but for the sound of their ragged breaths.Eton tucked his cock in, zipped up, and looked back at the girl.She lay sprawled on the mattress, the expression on her face dazed, her lower half splayed out, bare for him to see and he's not surprised to see her wet and sticky down there.Eton resisted the urge to get out of the bed and leave without a word, to get away from this room and everything that had happened in it. He wouldn’t, of course. Doing so would be a demonstration of weakness, would betray how much the sex had rattled him. He wasn’t rattled. Just annoyed with himself. He wasn’t supposed to have sex with Kaia Kennedy, at least not at this point. Using her as a hole for his dick was unlikely to m
