Carrying The Hamilton Heir

“Strip!”

The single word uttered by the stranger generated a deep sense of dread down the young woman’s spine. The way the man stared at her made her think this man has no emotions, much less remorse.

“S-strip? Y-you want me to strip? ” she asked. Hesitation could be heard in her voice.

The man exploded in anger. He violently dropped his gun on top of the table and tugged his hair. The woman could see the large mark of a dragon on his arm while he was whispering something in the air that only he could understand.

“Dammit, stupid fucks! Why the fuck are my actors so stupid?! ” he said in anger.

After a few moments, the man picked up the gun again and violently aimed it at the trembling girl's head. "Maybe I should just kill you, and then I could look for another one? What do you think?”

"No! Please, I will do whatever you want. Just don’t kill me! ” pleaded the woman. Tears were rapidly flowing on her face out of sheer fear. The man's expression softened slightly and eventually allowed the poor victim to remove the only protective clothing she had from the cold, dark night.

A few hours ago, Lily Smith was living her life to the fullest. It had been two years since she graduated college and aspired to become a successful film actress someday. How happy she was when finally, she was invited for an audition by a popular production company in Scarlet City. She was one step closer to reaching stardom when the casting agent shortlisted her for the lead role.

And then, this shit happened.

She didn’t know where and how she got to that hell. The last thing she remembered, she was waiting for a cab after the audition when someone grabbed her from behind. The next thing she knew, she was losing consciousness because of the pungent smell she was forced to inhale through a handkerchief. When she woke up, the rugged face of this man welcomed her in a seemingly abandoned warehouse in god knows where.

She hugged herself trying to hide her naked body. Lily was evidently distressed. The young woman knew that everyone was destined to die. This was the reality of life that everyone had to go through. She wasn't expecting something like this when she woke up this morning. She's only twenty-two years old! If she only knew that this would be his end, she would have just stayed at home to be with her brother. She would not have bothered chasing her dream.

"What are you going to do to me?" she boldly asked her abductor. She didn’t know if getting an answer would give her the peace she desperately needed or perhaps she hoped that whatever she was thinking would be contrary to what the kidnapper wanted from her.

The man answered him with a sarcastic smirk. After a few moments, his demonic laughter echoed. Lily closed her eyes. Her suspicion seemed to be right.

“Me? I won’t do anything to you. But him? He will definitely be doing something.” The woman's gaze turned in the direction her captor's mouth indicated. In one of the corners, the bulk of a man could be seen.

Did he kidnap another person? Why? she softly asked herself.

The darkness in the room made it impossible for the girl to see his face. Perhaps because of the situation surrounding their predicament, she no longer became observant of the things around her. What she did not know was that the following events would shock her.

“Alright, the casts are complete. It’s showtime, baby! ” Lily frowned at what she heard. There was a look of astonishment flashed on her face. What was he talking about?

She saw her captor dragging the other victim from the corner where he was. He was gaged but was obviously saying something based on the growl coming from him. When the piece of clothing was taken out of his mouth, the other abductee’s voice echoed around.

“Just tell me how much you need! ten million? One hundred million? I am willing to give you money regardless of how much it would be!”

"You fucking asshole!" the kidnapper shouted in rage. “How many times do I have to tell you that I don't need your money! I am a student of art! I am a director and not a terrorist! ” he emphatically explained. Then, he violently threw the struggling young man onto the small bed that was on the side.

The girl looked around the room where they were being held. There was a small bed on the side…and a DSLR camera was now being held by the kidnapper. What if?

"You!” he looked at the woman, and said, "Come closer to your leading man and we're about to start."

"W-what?"

"I said, get closer to your leading man! So we can fucking start!." He gave her an animal-like grin. She cried out in distress when she finally realized what he wanted to do.

Her hunch was right, he planned them to be the star in his own twisted version of sexual art!

"None of you will fucking move? Fuck! Do you want me to blow your skulls off? For fuck’s sake, woman! Use your fucking brain! Do I have to spell it out for you?! I told you to go to your fucking leading man!”

Trembling, the girl stepped beside the man who averted his gaze. Perhaps, he felt a little embarrassed because her naked body was exposed to him.

“On my queue, we will go straight to the main event. Make sure that you will give your best performance ‘cause I don’t have much time to shoot this on multiple takes. Got that?”

No one dared to move. It was like they were processing what the demon wanted them to do. But when the demon cocked the gun in front of them, the two victims flinched. Under the dim light, Lily saw the other man’s reflection.

She saw his almond-shaped eyes glimmer. He had a defined jawline brought by his square face and an aquiline nose. In hindsight, he bears a resemblance to the Italian actor Michelle Moronne and a certain Turkish actor she couldn’t name.

“What, you stupid fuckers?! Will you start fucking or will I be the one to fucking shoot you?” He seemed to run out of patience.

The captive man swallowed and said, "I am sorry to tell you this, Miss, but I was left without a choice." He then took Lily in his arms and he kissed her lips.

The girl did not think that her first kiss would be from a stranger. She had been so careful when it came to the opposite sex. She never had a boyfriend at her age.

She wanted to give herself to the man that she could stay with for the rest of her life. Her dream was to remain pure and untouched upon presenting herself in her white, bridal gown in front of the altar. But now? A sob broke from her closed lips when she realized her ultimate dream was shattered.

All because of the man behind the camera.

Cut! Cut! ” their captor started shouting. “YOU FUCKING CUNT! You don’t even show any emotion on your fucking face! I give up! I fucking give up!”

In a rage, the man violently grabbed the gun from the table. He fired his gun, and the loud sound of the gunfire echoed the entire room.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lily shouted in fear. She was shocked, hungry, tired, and scared! She no longer knew what she was feeling. The hatred on the kidnapper's face was obvious. It looked as if smoke was coming out of his nose because of his anger.
