"This..."
Sister Sonia's hand was shaking as she held the card.
The person in front of him was Ryder Smith, who was incompatible with the King family. This was Narcissus's territory, and she didn't dare to do business with this man without his order.
"What? Don't you think it's not enough?"
"No, no, it's not, it's just--"
"Click--"
As soon as the word "just" came out, more than a dozen of them came out.
The guns were raised instantly, and each one was aimed at her forehead. Even though Sister Sonia had seen a lot of things, her legs were still shaking. She took two steps back and patted the person next to her.
"Why are you standing there? Go open the door for Mr. Smith!"
The glass door was opened after a rustling sound. The girl raised her head after hearing the sound, and subconsciously wanted to run out when she saw the open door, but the man rushed over and grabbed her wrist.
Ruby looked up at him, her eyes trembling, frightened and sad, and he was able to see her appearance clearly.
They looked too much alike, she seemed to be a replica of that woman. If it weren't for the age difference, he would have almost thought she was that woman.
"Don't touch me..."
The girl's voice was weak and hoarse, and her muffled resistance had no deterrent effect. Her wrist was so thin that he could crush it with one hand.
"Don't move, or I'll break your arm."
The intimidation really worked. The girl's eyes turned red again, and tears filled her eyes in an instant.
Ryder was very satisfied with her reaction. Just as he was about to pick her up, he heard heavy footsteps behind him.
"Put her down."
He turned around and saw Narcissus standing at the door. He was wearing a dark suit. He should have been well-dressed, but he looked like a thug.
"Master King, are you not doing business here anymore?" Ryder raised his beautiful eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled up again, with a sinister and cold look.
Narcissus walked in with his long legs. At first, he didn't see who the girl next to Ryder was, and it didn't matter until he smelled the familiar light flower fragrance.
The girl who was grabbed by the wrist was trembling all over. She accidentally revealed half of her face while sobbing, and her feather eyelashes wet by tears fluttered like a butterfly.
The calm man's eyes instantly filled with red when he glanced at that touch of white, and his tall body seemed to collapse.
She was wearing clothes that could not cover her entire body at all, and there was only a thin layer of feathers on her chest. If it weren't for her hands desperately protecting her chest, most people present would have seen the ravine.
The tearful appearance pierced the man's heart. His brain was in chaos, and the tiny sounds around him were like a talisman that ignited a flame.
His fists clenched suddenly at his side, his skin and flesh stretched to a pale blue, and his bones rubbed against each other with a creepy sound.
"Let her go!"
The roar shook the whole hall as if it was shaking. He rushed over and pushed Ryder away. The two bodyguards who wanted to stop him were also thrown out by the man on the left and right. Their heavy bodies fell to the ground and could not get up again.
The man's sudden brutality stunned everyone. Narcissus's cruelty was known to everyone in the underworld, but it was the first time that he went crazy in public. With his status, he should not and could not lose his composure like this.
The people present were confused about the situation, and everyone took a few steps back, fearing that they would anger this already angry beast.
They watched him take off his suit jacket and wrap the thin girl up, then put one hand around her shoulders and the other hand through her legs to pick her up, and left the hall like a gust of wind.
..........
It was like her whole body was soaked in cold water. Not only was she wrapped in the cold, but the low voices around her were also distorted and deformed, and they sounded like some strange spells in her ears. She was shrouded in overwhelming fear. Although the girl was innocent, she knew what it meant to be taken away by him.
The humiliation made her ignore everything else and start struggling again, but her slender wrist was indeed unbendable in the man's hand. She frowned in pain when he exerted a little force.
In a trance, the man Ryder in front of her reminded her of the man who stood at the door of her house last night and looked down on everything. They had a common domineering aura, arrogant and unruly, but not exactly the same.
The shocking and cruel killing awakened the fear in her heart. She felt that neither Narcissus nor the man in front of her were good people. She twisted her body and scratched the man's arm with her sharp nails, but he didn't care and wanted to hug her.
At this moment, she heard a steady footsteps, completely different from the stillness in the hall. Then there was a shout and a mix of noises. These sounds were still vague, as if they came from the sky, making it impossible for the frightened person to hear what was going on.
Everything happened so suddenly that before she could react, the big hand that had been holding her flew away, followed by a soft and dark wrap. She was wrapped in a thick, warm black cloth, and in a flash she fell into a hot embrace.
This embrace was so solid and safe that she forgot to struggle for a moment, and only focused on sinking into the hot ocean and holding on to the life-saving straw.
The moment Narcissus hugged her, he closed his eyes, his sword-like eyebrows slowly frowned, and his thick eyelashes like wings trembled slightly, constantly carving lines on his masculine and handsome face.
His helpless heart was able to find a place to rest, and he verified what he had thought before. The girl's soft body could make him lose control of his emotions, and it was also a good medicine to soothe his manic anxiety.
The air-conditioning in the hall was turned on very high, and Ruby's body had already been cold. This rare warmth was like a blazing flame in the cold winter night, and the girl who had been walking in the snow for a long time couldn't help but stick to it, following the light and enthusiasm.
The active approach made the man's heart move. His sinister and deep dark eyes swept through everyone, and he didn't look at Ryder again. Finally, he looked at Sister Sonia for two seconds and strode away.
The pair of soft and slender jade hands kept stroking the man's chest, and when they touched his left shoulder, they suddenly froze, neither moving up nor down in the air. It wasn't until the man held her in the car that he started to move again, carefully and cautiously tapping the gauze.
"Ruby."
"Why do you want to leave?"
The familiar voice made her heartbeat stop for a moment, and the clothes covering her were pulled down by the man, revealing her still crystal-clear face. The tender skin was a little red from crying, and the temperature was indeed cold. The two faced each other, and the gaze that was only one day apart made Narcissus feel as if they were in another world.
The strange feeling he had every time he faced her made him feel at a loss and also made him miss her. The two contradictory feelings made him irritable. He suddenly approached her, and the hot air he exhaled blended with the coldness on her body.
He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. For the first time in his life, he wrapped a woman's hands in his palms and passed the warmth to her.
The girl in his hands was so light that she seemed to have no weight. The thin gauze on her body was wet and rubbed by the sweat in his palms.
Wrinkles formed.
Narcissus's emotions were complicated and entangled. He had sent someone out to look for her for so long, and in the end, she was right here with him. Then, the uncontrollable anger overwhelmed the man's reason, and all he could see was her being admired like an exhibit in public.
She watched the man's eyes go from surging in the sea of clouds to gradually calming down, and then suddenly a burst of fire burst out, and his sharp eyes seemed to see through her.
Ruby was stunned just now, and after her body warmed up, she realized that she was lying in a man's arms, and she was wearing such thin clothes. She subconsciously wanted to move away, but he held her tighter.
"Answer me."
He pinched her chin, lifted up her delicate little face, and rubbed the cold tears on her face with his rough thumb, and her heart was stabbed.
The girl tried her best to avoid looking at him, like a frightened deer, the light in her eyes kept shaking.
"I am.....Scared..."
She was indeed scared. After running out last night, she stumbled and her legs were weak.
The man expected this answer, but he didn't like it. He couldn't accept that the little person he chose was afraid of him. No matter what he did, she had to accompany him.
The car drove past the mountain where she lived. Ruby remembered this place. When she saw those familiar paths, she twisted her body and tried to get off him.
"I want to go back."
"Where to go?"
"Home..." She said these two words very unconfidently. In fact, she knew that she couldn't go back to that home. After she was taken away by the man, Oscar would not let it go. Even if she went back, she couldn't live peacefully. But she wanted to stay away from this man at the moment. Whether it was his eyes burning with dark fire or his domineering and wild momentum, she couldn't resist.
After Ruby said this, the man suddenly lowered his head, and when he spoke, his clearly defined lips seemed to touch her lips.
"I said, I will take you away, and you have to accompany me. Little Ruby."
The voice was so small that only the two of them could hear it, but every word rushed into the girl's heart like an engraving.
Her voice trembled and her eyes were horrified.
"What do you mean?"
The big hand with clear joints released her red jaw, and instead used the index finger to gently slide across her silky smooth profile, outlining the delicate contours. The other hand that was holding her began to rub the tender flesh on her waist, which was not covered with any cloth. The man's thinly calloused palms made her shudder, and she couldn't help but let out a low voice like sobbing.
"Well..."
The voice was soft and delicate, accompanied by the flash of clear water in her eyes. He suddenly burst into fire, and his body reacted in an instant.
The voice was low, as if a verdict, and Ruby saw her own face in those deep and dark eyes.
"I need a woman, and an heir."
A convoy of cars sped through the night, like long dragons drawn by white lights. They split the darkness and carried the sound of the wind. The sealed windows blocked the whistling outside the car, and also trapped the girl's sobbing and crying inside.
Ruby's panicked eyes were filled with tears that suddenly flowed out. The man's deep and distinct facial features and the street lights that occasionally flashed behind him were mixed into a blur of light and shadow. Perhaps it was because of extreme fear that her head began to feel heavy, and the subtle sounds around her became as unclear as before. She tried to pull back hard to get out of his grip, but the more she struggled, the tighter his arms hugged her, like two tight steel wires wrapped around her petite body.
Not long after, the car drove into a secluded manor. When driving into the gate, the girl's eyes were unconsciously attracted by the light behind her. She subconsciously turned her head and saw the big house decorated with golden lights, which was extremely dazzling, and suddenly thought of her home.
Then she closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and drove away all the illusions in her mind. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the man in front of her, still refusing to let go and hugging her tightly.
The car was a sealed space, with only the driver in front of her. If she deliberately didn't look at that person, she could breathe smoothly. But it was different outside. There were many people standing in front of the building. Those people were expressionless like Narcissus, and some were even indifferent and hateful. She didn't dare to face them, and she didn't want to be so ambiguous with him in front of these people.
"Please let me go..."
The voice was a little weak and hoarse, and even the little hand pushing his chest became weak and sore.
"Don't move."
The snow-white shoulders were exposed, and he thought of the scene that he couldn't let go. The cold face in the eyes of others finally had an expression.
Narcissus's eyebrows suddenly frowned and his eyes were surging with unknown meanings. He covered her with the clothes that had slipped off, but only the delicate and gentle face was exposed. As if deliberately letting everyone see her appearance, he swaggered through the crowd and carried her upstairs.
Turning on the light, his room was large and empty. Although he slept here almost every day, there was no breath of life. There were only gray walls and white sheets, and the only furniture lines were cold and hard to make people uncomfortable.
This was the first time he stepped into his room after meeting her. As soon as he entered, he began to miss the simple boudoir hidden in the mountains.
The faint flower fragrance, the curtains and sheets embroidered with small flowers all made him yearn for it.
Thinking of this, he stopped his steps and carried her to a relatively small and bright room next door. Not knowing what he was hiding, he put the weak and boneless little body on it, and when he landed on the bed, he reached out and pulled off her suit.
"Hmm..."
The clothes fell to the ground, and the warm body was instantly wrapped in cold air. The warmth that she had only gotten through the man was slowly dissipating. She curled up her body, and her thin limbs hugged each other tightly like a little hedgehog whose life was threatened. The home she recalled when she just entered the door stubbornly refused to forget, and could not get rid of the afterimage. The cold and fear made her miss her mother in her memory even more.
Then the shoulders of the little body began to tremble, and the sobbing sound was as low as if it was muffled in a jar.
Narcissus didn't like to wear a tie, and even only buttoned his shirt halfway, always revealing half of his muscular chest. A free-spirited person disdains any restraint, and doesn't know how to be tactful.
The girl on the bed exudes a sweet fragrance, and that smell is like a seductive little hand, stirring up all the manic factors in his body.
He tore open his shirt with one hand, and the distinct lumps in his chest and abdomen floated with his breathing. He slowly lowered his body to approach her, and the familiar temperature stopped her trembling.
He didn't like the clothes the girl was wearing, which always reminded him of how those people humiliated her. But what he couldn't accept the most was that in the end, this account would be counted on his head. The woman he liked should be pampered, but his men arbitrarily tagged her with a price.
"Tear!--"
In an instant, the big hands separated and grabbed her clothes on both sides, tearing the gauze like a cicada's wing into two halves.
"Ah!"
The girl screamed. She jumped up from the bed as if she had been electrocuted, put her legs together, and tried her best to protect her beautiful and plump chest with her hands.
"Please... Please let me go for the sake of saving you."
"Oscar still has the money left by my parents. Go ask him for it. He has money, he has..."
The girl was so scared that she was incoherent and tears burst out again. The man seemed to have heard something interesting. The corners of his mouth slowly flattened, revealing a cruel smile, and the words he said were as cold and piercing as ice and snow in the cold weather.
"I said you have to live with me, forever."
He wiped her tears with his thumb, and then lowered his head to admire her fair and smooth body.
He didn't know who Oscar was, but he knew that this little girl escaped from his palm yesterday. If he didn't let her truly become his woman and give birth to a child for him, she would probably run away again.
The delicate skin that was glowing with light was so delicate that he couldn't help but rub it gently with the back of his fingers. Every time his fingers moved, the little girl's body trembled. Tears oozed out of the corners of her eyes that had just been wiped, and her big red eyes looked at him pitifully, which instantly gave him countless evil thoughts that he had learned without a teacher.
Because of Hermia, he was not interested in women, and even tabooed women's hypocrisy. They could pretend for years for their own purposes, and even their own bedmates and their own sons were not spared. So there were no women in the King family. Before meeting her, he had stubbornly believed that s*x was just a boring process of reproducing the next generation, but the little person in front of him shook his eyes and bit his lower lip. The white pearly teeth awakened his man's nature.
"Narcissus, don't..."
The girl pulled the quilt to cover herself, but was grabbed by the man.
The delicate silk was placed on the lips and kissed, and the beast's desire was greedy and naked. He had been fighting for ups and downs in the dark for half his life. The more she struggled and begged for mercy, the more he aroused his desire to conquer.
He tilted his head and took a sip of her neck, then closed his eyes to digest the smell that seemed like an incense.
The man's neat and smooth profile was right in front of her. She watched the bulge on his throat rolling faster and faster. A small bulge like a mountain was pushed up between his crotch trousers, stretching the fabric to the extreme.
Ruby knew what it was. She tried to curl up her body to avoid the occasional touch of the man's thin lips. The vague collision hit her heart like an electric current.
"No! Please.... You said you are not a bad person..."
The wet eyelashes hit her eyes one by one. The man who was about to roughly pull her arms away stopped moving and raised his head with a cunning and treacherous look.
"But I didn't say I was a good person either."
He continued to move, and his dark eyes rolled up scarlet heat when he pulled her arms away.
"I'm asked you to stop being kind, why don't you listen to me?"
Now, you can't escape from my palm. I will CLAIM your body as well as your soul.
