"Please... You can't do that. They don't have anything left! If you took that place, they won't have roof to stay..." Her voice tremble as she was in the edge of tears. Begging with someone as cold and ruthless as Zachary Dawson, was like walking to a tiger den.
Almost zero chance for you to survive.
But maybe, this would be a different case, as a smirk, showed up on his perfect, handsome face.
"I don't understand why you still don't get it, Elena..." He caressed her cheek lightly causing goosebumps all over her. Her cheeks slowly showing its color. A little red, and it's so adorable to his eyes. Even though his expression didn't show any changes, still with its coldness. But inside, he was pleased by how she was reacting towards his touch.
And that fucking adorable expression would only be his eyes to see.
"...That land is mine. The previous owner already sold it to me, years ago. Now, I'm just taking back was mine. What is so wrong with that?"
She was begging to him but not even once she dare to look at him. However, when she heard how his voice changed into a slightly sad tone, she lifted her head and look directly at him.
She had this mix feeling when he caught her eyes. Scared, relief, and a little bit of regret.
She regretted it when she decided to look at those black piercing eyes, the beautiful beads, made her addicted and drown to them, that she had to force herself to look at the other direction.
They were beautiful. But cold and unreadable. She's afraid to get lost and trapped in them.
"I.." Her words were long gone the moment she looked at his eyes. Her fists tightened on her lap.
He didn't say anything as he watched how desperate she was to save those children in that orphanage.
His prey almost took the bait. Let's wait and see. He grinned internally.
"I know... But, aren't you the generous young master? Don't you feel pity for those babies? Please just... I will work had to pay you as much as you spent on that land, just give me more time..."
"Elena, did you just hear yourself?" He chuckled, made her taken back a bit.
Zachary sighed and wrapped a hand around her shoulder, pulling her closer. With one finger on another hand, he lifted her chin, made her gaze back at him.
"Me, generous young master? How come I never hear people talk like that about me?"
"You h-help me when I was in trouble... You gave me work and... you help me so much! Even when I break your things you never punish me."
It got here so much bravery to speak like that without trembling. He was perfect in everything, got everything that man kind desire. And that also made him a terrifying man.
Strangely, deep down in her heart, Elena knew that he would never hurt her.
"My sweet, Elena..." He kissed her cheek gently as his deep laugh could be heard in that car. The car's sound proof did its job well, as his men outside didn't hear a single thing inside.
"You know I only did it because it's you. Do you think I can stand talking to other women beside you?"
Elena gulped. That's right. This young master form Dawson family had a strange unusual phobia towards women. They made disgust him, but not Elena.
She recalled how she met him months ago. Where she didn't even know him yet, thinking that he was one of Zachary Dawson's men when he was the one and only Zachary himself.
