CHAPTER 4

HUNTER'S POV

"What the fuck did I say again?!" My voice roared in the big room, just under my mansion. Two men flinched and looked at me, scared for their lives, as they should.

One of my men picked up a metal baseball bat that was almost red with dried blood and handed it to me.

I did not waste any secons and hit the table next to me very hard. I am running out of patience with these bastards. If I didn't need either of them, I probably would have killed them in a blink.

"W-we didn't really know who is our b-boss. Please, spare us!" One of them shouted while looking at the bat I was holding, panic was visible in his eyes.

The look I gave him became sharper and cold.

I looked at the other man who almost peed his pants in fear.

They are the pests that are trying to fight and bring me down but could not even reach me.

I can not forgive them for sabotaging my big illegal transactions, they should pay with their unknown boss. No one should mess with me.

I will make sure they would sing what I wanted to know, one way or another.

"I don't believe it. I do not want to repeat my question." I said emphatically to both of them. They look pitiful now because they look like hopeless animals begging me not to kill them but...I do not know how to feel sorry for demons like me either.

They looked away from me which drained my remaining patience with them. I did not uttered a single word anymore and just closed my eyes in extreme irritation before I hit the thigh of a man who answered me earlier.

I heard his loud cry while he was holding his bleeding thigh. I am not done yet, he better tell me who the damn hell is his boss because he will get a worse beating if he does not answer my question properly.

I saw how one of his companion retreated. I could clearly see the fear in his eyes. Ah, so satisfying.

"W-we do not really know who he is. What we do know is that he is one of those who want to overthrow you." stuttered by one which made me laugh out loud so much. That useless creature.

I also heard Cadence's chuckles behind me. Want to overthrow me? What a joke. I alredy waste many lives, blood and sweat to reach whatever position I am now. They can not pull me down without a war.

When I finished laughing at what he said, I got serious and looked at them badly. I straightened my back and then raised the baseball bat with all my might to hit them both on the head but I that did not come as someone suddenly opened the door.

A little light entered the place. One of my men entered and rushed to me. I put the bat down and looked back at the two men, I grinned at menand then slowly lowered the bat, I saw the fear in their eyes and at the same time they also sighed because they were saved from their death, for now...

I heard loud breathings which distract me.

The man who entered earlier turn pale, "M-master, I am sorry for bothering you. I-I just want to inform you that t-the woman you lockdown, she tried to run away again."

I cursed in my mind. He's only been at my house for two days but he always gives me headaches. It's nice to kill her life immediately.

"You take care of it first, Cadence. You know what you're going to do."

I let go of the baseball bat and then wiped the blood on my hand. As I was walking away I could hear their loud pleas to me but they knew that once I got what I wanted I would not hesitate to take them to hell.

It's dark in the hallway of this place. I went out to my guest room upstairs, this is the room that the servants and other people are not supposed to enter or else their life will be at stake.

I was once again annoyed when I remember why I was disturbed in what I was doing. That woman is a headache. I will die by how hard headed she is. . I smirked at my thought. Or should I say... she will die early because of her stupidity and just a bullet can end her life.

I saw one of my guard in my room. He turned pale when he saw me staring coldly at him.

"M-master, we're looking for-"

He stopped talking when he saw me entering the room. I went to the small drawer next to the bed. I pulled out my favorite gun. I turned to face him and saw that he was even more pale.

He backed away. He knows that being incompetent is one of the things I do not like. Since they started working with me, they should have accepted that I have paid for their lives as well. They just have to make one mistake and I can finish them off in a second.

"We can not find that fucking woman!" The newcomer screamed hysterically, but he immediately noticed my presence.

"M-master..." he called me, scared.

"I do not want everyone in this house to be stupid and brainless as you mother fuckers!"

At the same time as I shout, I let out shots without direction.

They were not hit because they dodged well, worthy of being my men.

"W-we will look for her immediately!" One screamed in panic.

I licked my lower lip and barely nod. Sure, I will give you all a second chance.

"If you don't bring that girl back I will kill you all."

They immediately nodded and bowed before leaving the room panicking. I know that they will find that girl right away because my house is wide, especially the yard.

I an also sure that the womanhas not left my territory yet. I am looking forward for your bloody punishment bitch. You will make sure that you will beg for your life.

I should have just chained her in the basement because she is no use to me either.

SHANE'S POV

I am already walking just to get away from this place. I've tripped a few times but I still won't stop running, I know that when they catch up with me I have only two options, to kill them or to be killed. I have met their master who is handsome but dangerous and with his personality it is clear as the glass that he will kill me sooner than later.

I am wearing a blue polo shirt and big boxer short today. I only saw it in the drawer in the room where I was locked up. I stopped running for a moment and looked around. I a'm on a bumpy road now. I have also run far and beads of sweat on my face.

I do nof know where I am going but what's important to me is that I already escape. I decided to sat on a big root of a big tree. I know that at this moment they already know that I am missing especially their master.

I scoffed upon remembering him, his name is ugly. He fits here, in this dense and forested area. I hope he just turned into a chicken but he is too handsome to be a chicken. But anyway, I do not want that arrogant square head guy.

I removed the dirt from my body and wiped the blood from my hand that I got earlier. I threw the vase at one of the Hollywood men in black who was guarding outside the house and I was injured.

I chuckled softly. They are fools because it was so easy to get out of that hellish place. How come there is no cctv or even many guards?! What else could I expect? Their master is also stupid.

I decided to walk again. The truth is that it was difficult for me to escape because it was difficult to find the opportunity to escape tho the guards were few, they always patrol all over the place.

Fortunately, I know how to lock pick so I was able to open the door without a sweat. My so called father often beat my mother in their room, which was the reason why I forced myself to learn how to open a lock, to save my mother form his beatings.

Apart from that, my father tried to harrass me several times, that's why I was twice as careful, until now I can take use it escape.

I gulped hard, I am thirsty and tired. I badly want to rest. All I see is grass and trees, should I just lay here?

I was alerted when I heard a rustling sound and what sounded like a stream of water. I went to it to find out what was there but I was just amazed by what I saw.

Wow! This place is very beautiful.

I saw a small house by the river. It seems that someone always goes here because there is a small house standing. I decided to rest here first. I don't think they can find me anymore. The owner of the house wouldn't mind me right?

Sorry to the owner of the house! Promise, I will not steal anything here. There did not seem to be anyone around so I took it as an invitation to enter the small house.

When I entered, I saw its simple but clean interior. There was a sofa and a small table in the opening while it has one more door. I looked around at the things and noticed that there were also books on a shelf hanging from the ding-ding.

I was excited by what I saw and felt at home when I took a book and sat on the sofa.

Heaven...
