### Chapter 1: Chapter-1

Alexander Wolf stared at the trembling man in front of him. He was genuinely annoyed that instead of spending his time drinking and gambling at the bar, he had to deal with this pathetic old man.

Fucking James Brooks. He was about his father’s age, but this mumbling idiot did not deserve his pity, nor his respect. He was like a bug that needed to be squashed beneath his feet.

“Please, Alexander, I just need a few more days, that’s all!” he cried. Tears were streaming down his face. Why didn’t he think about the consequences before borrowing all that money from him?

Alex shoved the barrel of his gun in his mouth. “You had exactly 155 days to pay off this debt. Today is day 157, which means I was more than generous since I granted you two extra days. And now you are telling me you have no money? Tell me why I should let you live?”

James stared at him wide-eyed as he waited for his answer. Oh right, he can’t speak since his mouth was full. Alex took the barrel out and placed it on James’s temple. There, now he can speak.

“Well?” Alex asked and looked at him intently

“Look, I have some money. Just not all of it. I have about 300 thousand dollars in my bank. I will give you all of it!” James swore.

“See, there is a tiny problem. You are about 400 thousand short on this debt. But since you offered your entire savings, I will grant you the privilege of choosing your death. Would you like me to shoot you in the head or your heart?” Alex said in a cold and harsh tone.

“Alexander, please don’t kill me. There must be another way. I will do anything if you give me more time. I will pay off the debt, I promise!” he pleaded.

This old man was acting like a pathetic loser, and it was pissing Alex off. He was tempted to pull the trigger and end it once and for all, but it was kind of fun to toy with him. He did not have anything else to do on his agenda, so this is going to be his entertainment for the day.

He got up and started to look around the house while James sobbed on the floor. It was a big house with expensive furniture. This fucker was living well with the money he borrowed and had the audacity to refuse him when he asked for it back. Why didn’t he sell the house if his debt was this bad? Some people have no brain.

He picked up a framed picture that looked like a family portrait. It was a picture of younger James with his wife and a little blonde girl who looked about five years old. Hmm…maybe he could threaten to kill his wife and kid to mess with him even more, Alex thought. Not like he would actually do it but sometimes threatening the family gets the job done. At this point, Alex was willing to do anything to make this old man cry.

“Who’s this?” Alex asked and pointed at the picture.

“Ma…my family,” James said.

“Bring them out,” Alex ordered.

“My wife passed away,” James said. His face was as pale as a ghost when he realized Alex was about to target his family.

“Then bring the other one, shithead,” Alex barked. “Your daughter, bring your daughter.” His patience was wearing thin.

“Pp..please..leave my daughter out of it. She has nothing to do with this. She is innocent!” James cried.

“Did I fucking stutter? Bring the girl out, or I will drag her out myself,” He glared at James, which brought him up to his feet.

“No, please, I will call her. I told her to stay upstairs,” he said.

“I didn’t ask you to describe your daily routine. Call her down right now!” Alex said.

“Saoirse! Would you come downstairs for a minute?” James called. No one responded for a minute.

“Saoirse, honey, please…daddy needs you!” James called her again. His voice trembled like he was about to cry again.

What the hell kind of name was that? How do you even pronounce it ? Alex thought irritably.

“Daddy? You told me to stay in my room?” A sweet, melodic voice answered from upstairs.

“It’s okay, sweetheart, there is someone who would like to meet you,” James said.

Alex looked up as he heard light footsteps coming down the stairs.

Something ignited inside of him as he stared at the girl in front of him. This was no five-year-old child. This was a full-grown young woman who looked about nineteen to twenty. And she was the most beautiful little thing he had ever seen.

She was no taller than 5 feet two with a petite figure. Not exactly voluptuous but not fully flat chested either. She had big green eyes and a head full of blonde wavy hair, like a little fairy. She had full lips that looked soft and kissable. She seemed really shy and uncomfortable around him, which turned him on even more somehow.

“What’s going on, Daddy?” she asked after hesitating for a moment. “Did they hurt you?”

“I am fine, sweetheart, don’t worry about me,” James groaned.

Alex walked over to her and picked up a lock of her hair with his finger, then twirled it around playfully. She flinched as his fingers brushed against her neck.

“Tell me your name again,” Alex ordered her.

“Um…Saoirse…but my dad calls me Suri,” she said.

“Suri…you are a slight little thing, aren’t you?” he whispered. “How old are you?” he asked.

“Um…nineteen,” she said. Her voice was trembling like she was scared. I guess he could not blame her since he just assaulted her father right in front of her.

Ah, young and sweet. Alex wasn’t usually into girls that were that young, but he will have to make an exception for this one. She was just too beautiful and perfect. For some reason, he felt extremely drawn to her.

“I like you, Suri, I like you a lot,” Alex declared.

On his wedding day, Alex anxiously waited for Saoirse to walk down the aisle. Several thoughts circulated in his head. What if she changes her mind? What if she decided she didn't want to marry a murderer and a criminal like him?You are being stupid, Alexander. That girl is crazy about you,he thought to himself. Fuck...why was he so damn nervous?"Why do you look like you are about to shit your pants?" Nate remarked."Shut up bro, I feel fine," Alex said irritably."Sure you are. What, you think she is gonna pull a runaway bride on you and run for the hill? I wouldn't blame her if she does," Nate chuckled."How did you know that's what I was thinking?

One month later...Alex bought a house in Madeira. It was a small island in Portugal which means their house will be right by the beach. He wanted Saoirse to be near the ocean just like she always wanted. He also picked the place as it was quiet and away from all the crimes and his enemies. Saoirse would be able to live peacefully without being involved in his messed-up crime-filled life. All he wanted was to make her happy.They gathered around alongside old friends at Nate's house f

Alex was surprised to see Saoirse in a good mood even after being kidnapped for so long. Maybe Ares did take good care of her. He sighed in relief. He won’t let her out of his sight again. “Are you sure you are okay? He didn’t hurt you?” Alex looked at her with concern. “I’m fine. Big bro forced me to eat just like you did,” she giggled.Alex looked confused. &ldqu

Saoirse gasped as she saw Xavier sprawled across the floor with his throat split open.“Don’t look,” Ares said and pushed her face on his shoulder while carrying her to the other room.“D…did you kill him? Why?” she asked.“Don’t worry about it,” he said gruffly. Saoirse didn’t push him.

“What do you think you are doing here? And what did you see?” Ares asked again.Xavier exhaled and grinned. “Are you asking me if I saw that cute little bird you’ve been keeping here, then yeah. I saw her. You got a good taste, Mate,” he winked.“Where is she? If you did something to her I swear to God…” Ares glared at him.“I didn’t do anything to her! Well…I really wanted to but she is one slippery bitch,” Xavier said irritably.

Alex found out where Jacob’s girlfriend was living and where she worked. He didn’t want to betray him and hand him over to Ares, but he was willing to do anything to save Saoirse. It had already been a few days since he took her.Sorry, Jacob, your time is coming into an end,he thought. He called Ares.“I have information on Jacob’s girlfriend. I will get you her work address. But first, I want to speak to Suri,” Alex said grimly.

### Chapter 2: Chapter-2

“Alexander, please don’t hurt her,” James called out suddenly and broke Alex’s trance.

He walked over to him and kicked James on the stomach. He had just about had it with his whining.

“Stop that!” Saoirse or Suri cried.

“Shh…honey, I am fine,” James got up and hugged her. Awe, how touching, Alex thought. He did not have an ounce of sympathy for this man.

“Since I am in a good mood, I’ll make you a deal,” Alex said. His eyes never leaving her body.

“Yes, a deal that will benefit us both. I’ll go ahead and give you five more months to come up with the money, no interests,” Alex announced.

“Really? Oh, thank you Alexa….” he started to say, but Alex put his hand up to shut him up.

“IF, you give me her ,” He said and pointed at the girl.

James looked like he was punched in the gut ten more times. “That… that’s not possible! This is my daughter; you can’t do this, Alexander!” he cried.

Hah, does this old man thinks he gives a shit? What a joke, Alex thought.

“It’s either this or I put a bullet in you right now. Then she will be at my mercy anyway. If you accept the deal, you get to live and get her back once your debt is paid,” Alex said. “Think of it as a temporary arrangement. She is the collateral. I am not the one to go back on my words, so she will be returned as soon as I get the money back.”

“Daddy, why is he saying these things? Who are these people?” Saoirse cried out.

It looks like this sweet little angel does not know what a scum her father is. Well, she is about to find out. Alex thought as he watched James’s face. He was seriously considering renting his daughter out in exchange for his own life. Alex didn’t think he would actually agree to this ridiculous arrangement. James must value his precious life more than his daughter.

“Do…do you promise not to hurt her if I agree?” he asked. Stupid bastard.

“Well, I’ll certainly have a little fun with her. I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t, but no, no harm would come to her under my protection,” Alex promised.

“Wha…what do you mean by fun?” James’s voice shook.

“Do you really have to ask?” Alex smirked.

“Alexander, this is not some type of game. This my daughter’s life, and she is not a toy. You can’t just do what you want with her,” James protested.

“That’s up to you, old man. If you would rather choose death, I am more than happy to pull the trigger. Just say the word,” Alex said and pointed the gun at James again.

“Okay,” James sighed. “You can have her. I’ll come up with the money as soon as possible. But please, do you promise you will return her to me?”

“As I said, I give you my word,” Alex said.

Alex grinned as he imagined ravaging her naked body. This is going to be a great year, after all.

“NO! What are you saying? You can’t send me with this man!” Saoirse screamed. Alex ordered his men to take her away. “Daddy, please!” her outcries faded as the two men took her outside.

“Please, don’t treat her so roughly. She is…she lost her mother when she was young. I raised her by myself, and she…she is naive and doesn’t understand a lot of things,” James sobbed.

What kind of nineteen-year-old doesn’t understand things? Did James raise her inside a box, or is there something wrong with this girl? Guess he is about to find out.

“Save the sob story for someone else, old man,” Alex glared at him. “And don’t worry about the little doll. I’ll teach her everything,” he said and smiled cruelly.

James laid on the floor and cried. He felt like a failure as her father. Saoirse was all he had, and he let her slip away. He let her be taken away by a ruthless Mafia leader of all people! He knew Alexander didn’t show mercy. What would become of her? If only he didn’t blow all his money on gambling.

Alexander looked at the girl who was now sandwiched between him and one of his men in the car. Her eyes were red and puffy, but she finally stopped crying.

He reached for her hand, but she snatched it away. “Don’t touch me!” she cried.

“I don’t think you understand what’s happening, babydoll. I own you now. At least for five months, so you are in no position to reject me. Your precious dad made this arrangement with me, so if you need to get mad, be mad at him,” he grinned and winked at her.

“Tha… that’s because you threatened to kill him!” she frowned.

Alex turned to her and grabbed her chin, then forced her to look at him. “If it was me, I would’ve never let you go, even if it cost me my life,” he said in a deep and husky voice. His piercing blue eyes bored into hers. She fidgeted nervously.

“When it comes to money and my business, I don’t fucking mess around. He took something from me, so I took something of his in return. Even steven,” Alex said.

“But..” Saoirse proceeded to argue some more.

“But what? Do you have that kind of money?” he asked.

“No,” she said quietly and looked down.

“Well then. I guess you have no choice but to do as I say. Now enough arguing and enjoy the ride,” he said. She didn’t say anything else for the rest of the trip.

They finally arrived at his mansion.

Home sweet home, he thought. He never brought a girl to his house before as he liked to keep them separate from his private life. But he wanted Suri so bad that he took her with him on impulse. Now he had no idea where else to keep her.

But he knew one thing for sure. He couldn’t wait to get his hands on her tonight.

On his wedding day, Alex anxiously waited for Saoirse to walk down the aisle. Several thoughts circulated in his head. What if she changes her mind? What if she decided she didn't want to marry a murderer and a criminal like him?You are being stupid, Alexander. That girl is crazy about you,he thought to himself.
