Taken By The Mafia Lord

479 Zero Interest In Her

“What?” Natalie was confused by what he was talking about, however, a sinking feeling in the pit of her belly told her that he didn’t want her money – and that was the problem. If he didn’t want her money, well, her father’s money to be precise, then that’s pretty much messed up. In one word she’s fucked up.

“The viper has been careful to cover his weakness all these years until luck lands on my door and you show up. The bastard’s good at hiding his feelings but thanks to the spies I hid planted amongst his people, I was able to find what I wanted.” He said, confusing Natalie the more.

She tipped her head to the side with a sigh saying, “Honest truth, I have no idea what you’re talking about, and who knows, you might have the wrong girl as well, after all, your minions took me away disrespectfully from the bus stop where your real suspect could be chilling with a Coca-Cola drink right now. ”

His eyes flashed and he invaded her space so much that Natalie had to inch back to avoid him knocking into her – and the wrath on his face.

“Are you trying to make a fool out of me or tell me I don’t know what I saw?! “He sneered right at her face and before Natalie could say anything, he yanked on her hair hard, drawing a yelp from her lips, “Daniel might be a smart man but he fails woefully at hiding his feelings.”

“W-what?” Natalie stuttered, feeling like someone just whacked her at the back of her head with a pan, “What are you talking about? What do you mean Daniel has....” She trailed off, her expression paling all of a sudden as she shook her head in denial, “Oh no.”

A chilling smile broke across the man’s face and Natalie didn’t know whether to be scared of the fact that he just claimed Daniel liked her – which was absolutely stupid and impossible – or the fact that it seems she acknowledging Daniel’s existence just pretty much sealed her fate. He must be Daniel’s enemy and it was fucking FANTASTIC! Someone should get her out of here! She was too young to die! Heck, she hasn’t even slept with Edward yet!

At once, Natalie began to deny it, for Christ’s sake, she wanted to live. This is why she shouldn’t have gotten entangled with that mad man. She shouldn’t have thought that he was doing her a great favor by letting her leave their vacation house unsupervised.

“You don’t know anything, that crazy man has zero interest in -” Natalie yelped when he yanked her hair again, this one more painful than the last one, “Is that what he told you? To deny your relationship so you would be safe from me?!”

.....

Was she fucking crazy? Why would she even dare to date Daniel in the first place? He was a criminal who seems to be in some gang judging from his rival holding her by the hair right now. It was painful as hell and Natalie fought back the tears having a feeling that depraved men like him take pleasure from that.

“Aren’t you a fiery little thing,” The man mused, that devilish smile that looked anything but handsome, lingering at the corner of his lips. Just as Natalie thought, he expected her to cry and began to beg on her knees. It wasn’t happening.

“No wonder he’s so invested in you, your fierce eyes are a wet dream,” His hand left her hair to trail down her face until she turned the other away and he let her be or so Natalie thought.

The next minute he lifted her chin and turned her so she couldn’t look away from him, “But that’s alright, because, by the time I’m done with you, I’ll make sure he feels each and every pain he’s made me pass through,” he was now grabbing her chin so tight her eyes watered.

A shiver went down Natalie’s spine when she saw the threat in the man’s eyes and she wondered what she had done to deserve this. It was like jumping from frying pan to fire, first Daniel, now Daniel’s enemies. Damn it, She should have listened to Penelope when she told her to leave Daniel for dead that day. Had she done that, she wouldn’t be dealing with this shit, right now. However, it was too late to complain about the spilled milk, so she could only think about how to get out of this mess.

However, almost immediately, there was the sound of a gunshot and she stiffened. Well, not only her, the mad man beside her too, and the fear she saw in his gaze gave her sudden hope, because whatever he feared meant that it was good for her. Call it instinct but Natalie knew it was him, Daniel. He came for her and as mad as she was at him for leading her into this mess, she was relieved at the same time. She was not going to die, help was coming!

“Fuck!” The man cursed with panic when the gunshot increased and she knew that it was an exchange between his men and Daniel’s people.

“I should have known he would track you down!” He began to pull at the knot at her leg trying to release it so she could walk. He wanted to hide her away from Daniel. It was too soon and he hasn’t even started any of his plans.

However, the moment Natalie’s legs were free, she lifted her knee without warning and rammed it into his face and the moment he stumbled back, she took the chance to run even though her hands were tied.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t run far because he pulled her back by the hair and she cried out in pain. The moment he got her, a slap met her face and Natalie swore she felt her ear ring and saw stars in her vision. She was still reeling from the effect of the slap when the man pulled her off the ground to his body and she saw a shadow step out into the light at the same time.

It was Daniel and he looked like an angel of death.
