Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

I had no idea where we were headed but it seemed like we were going forever.

My mind was too preoccupied with thought of what Ryan told me earlier. Rut? Why on earth did he have to talk about his hormonal issues and then he talked about protection. My senses were hammering my brain, trying to decide whether it was a promise or was it a threat!

Then suddenly we stopped in front of a gigantic gate. Its mere size humbled me. I had never seen a gate that looked like the Great Wall of China itself.

A knock on our window, brought me back to the scene. My eyes were busy admiring its intricate detailing with mystics designs that looked more symbolic.

” Your ID cards please.”

A well suited guard came and asked.

They let us pass after scanning.

As the gates creaked open, I had to rub my eyes.

There stretched in front of me was a city. A majestic town inside. There were towering buildings, wide roads, flyovers and there was even traffic. I could see choppers flying in and out as if they were mere taxis with wings. In fact there were signal towers on top of the building with a prominent announcement being made, for the chopper to avoid an aerial traffic jam.

Honestly, it felt like I had jumped a few decades into the future.This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

There were neon lights everywhere and it was clear that whoever built that place and sent me the dress, had a fetish for neon shades.

The buildings were reflecting the sunlight with their glass exteriors, giving the entire place a natural glow.

” Welcome to the underworld Sherry.” Rose finally spoke as we went further on.

She finally stopped in front of a huge skyscraper.

Her car was scooped up for hassle free parking. She trotted right inside as I ran behind. I was looking at everything so mesmerized that it had already got Sarah out of my mind.

We went straight up in the elevator. There were just the two of us. We were headed for what seemed like the sixty sixth floor, and I couldn’t help but wonder how the view would be from its window.

We came out and Sarah led us towards a room that had the number six on top.

I could already smell the air that was thick with nicotine. As soon as the door opened, the smoke leaped out like a thick fog.

I breathed in. It further numbed my worries and I carefully walked in.

” Is this the girl? ”

I heard a voice from beyond the misty veil of smoke and it gave me the jitters.

I saw Rose fall on her knees and bow down, not even looking up at the person in front, she answered,

“Yes, she is. ”

I saw his hand move as if asking Rose to leave. And I immediately felt a pang of fear and wanted to grab her hand. But she was already gone when I turned back.

” Come here. Come closer so I can see you! ”

I gulped at the command and tip toed forward, unsure why I was feeling so uncomfortable.

And then I saw his face.

Those eyes definitely mimicked Ryan’s. That face had distinct features resembling his. They were father and son no doubt and nobody would doubt that they were not biologically connected.

He touched my arms and looked me up. A smirk crossed his lips and his fingers went up and down my arm along with his eye gaze.

I had no idea that I was holding my breath until he went back to his seat and asked me,

” Come sit beside me, here! ”

I slowly obeyed. He looked at his watch as I looked from the corner of my eyes.

” The party doesn’t start before noon. We had plenty of time before that. ”

He came dangerously close to my face and I immediately went back several inches.

” Why? What happened? You don’t like my scent baby girl? I have a long line of women begging to get me this close. You must consider yourself privileged. ”

His breath reeked of cigar. I could still see the ashes on the table.

” I think you got me wrong here sir, I am not that kind of a girl… I came here because of my friend. And since I am already here, would you please kindly care to release her like Rose said? ”

I stood up and he yanked me over the table and I was pinned over it under his weight.

He was strong and young for his age. The sharpness was not only in his eyes but his jawline as well. A little gray here and there in his hair and stubble made the aura around more intimidating.

” You did nobody any favor by coming here. You are here to save your little ass. ”

He slapped me so hard that it burnt my skin on my right butt cheek.

” You will be my date today, my sweet thing. We have things to go all around the clock that might stretch till the end of tonight. ”

He placed his finger over my quivering lip.

This was not the same quiver that I experienced around Ryan , at all. It was a sick reflex that was building up the taste of bile inside my pit. And I could feel the taste on my tongue.

As he forced his thumb inside, I bit it involuntarily to be honest . That gave me the opportunity to push him a little and straighten up and move to the side.

” I am sorry for that sir. It was unintentional. I did mention to you before that I wasn’t that kind of a girl whom you are used to using for your pleasure. ”

I didn’t even look up, just bowed to try and neutralize the pressure.

” A kitten that bites… Interesting. You sure know how to keep things spicy my baby girl. “.

His words just swept my statements clear off the slate.

” Let me do a little favor by letting you know this, you will get your friend after you complete your task after tonight. Till then, I will keep a close eye… ”

He came right at my face and I couldn’t even back off, “I would definitely like to know what kind of a girl you are… apart from being a s*x worker and contracted s*x slave. ”

I opened my mouth to protest but he had done his research. There was no way I could deny those claims except for the later part perhaps.

” I am not a s*x slave… I am just contracted to Ryan for bond labor because I was indebted for my father’s treatment. ”

I thought I had him now that his expression changed. He suddenly broke into a smile and clapped around,

” Excellent!

Then it means that you are not sexually involved with my son anywhere. Which means, I could claim you entirely for myself. ”

He grabbed my throat and massaged it in such a terrific way, I didn’t know if it was erotic, offensive or was it a threat.

It seemed to run in the family. Threatening people with gestures and riddles.
