"I-I'm sorry..." Ella whispered, pressed against the wardrobe, her head lowered.
"What are you sorry for, Princess?" Sebastian asked, his voice low and unsettling.
"I... I tried to..."
Before she could finish, his fist slammed against the wardrobe b...

I shot him straight in the head; he was dead just after a bullet, but for pleasure, I emptied my pistol on this scum of a man! After that, Rook approached me and took my pistol in his hands and passed me a cleaning cloth to wipe all the blood around me... "The blood ruined my perfectly fine suit, what a waste!" I turned back and walked out of my warehouse... I use this place to hunt men more than I use it for storage, but that's normal in the mafia world.After me, Rook followed. My car stopped just in front of me. Rook opened the door and said,"Sir, Dmitri's payment is still pending. Though it's not a big amount, just 5 million dollars, but he has passed his deadlines many times in the past, and now I feel he is not in the mood to pay us.""If he can't pay with money, then he will pay with blood and skin! What does he have?""Nothing much, just a Wife who died 14 years ago, a house, and yes, there is news that he has a daughter, but that's a little unbelievable!"Rook got in the passenger seat with the driver and continued his words."Why? Doesn't that pig have a dick?""I bet he doesn't, but there are no records of her, no medical records, no educational records, not even a photo on the internet, and we all know what kind of bastard Dmitri is, so it feels a little unbelievable that he has a daughter.""Okay, let's see that; take me to Dmitri's house.""Sir, but that's not important. I will send some of our men later, you don't need to—""I didn't ask for an opinion, just take me there!""Yes, sir!"After about 30 minutes, we reached a house, which looked old and not maintained."Are you sure this is his house? It looks more like a bird cage to me.""I agree with you, sir, but yes, this is the address. Let's go in"As we reached the door of the house, I heard a piercing scream coming from inside."What's the scream?""Let's see, sir." We rang the bell, and after 30 seconds or so, Dmitri opened the door with cash in hand."Dmitri?"Seeing me, they got very, very scared and started trembling and sweating."S...s...sir? I am sorry, I'm sorry, sorry! I will pay the money as soon as I get it... Take this one! It's $3000, that's all I have right now, please, sir—"Again, a scream and a shouting sound hit our ears."Who's that? Who screamed?""No, nobody, sir, it must be the maid! Might have spilt something."I walked into his bird cage, and they heard it more clearly,"Ad.... Adrian, please! N..no! , no...no!"With that, she cried out! I motioned Rook to go check in.The moment Rook opened the door, a girl ran out of it toward the door, but she was looking back again and again, so in a hurry, she collapsed into my chest and fell. The moment she fell, her eyes looked straight at me, and that's when I felt like time stopped. She had very long, wavy, black hair, which might touch her hips if she were standing; her big eyes were all red from crying dried-up tears across her cheeks; her makeup was a little messy, and fear was very evident on her face. That's when Rook called me."Sir?" I snapped out of her beauty and looked at her really! She was wearing a tattered frock, the hands of the gown torn, blue and red figure prints across her face, her hands and her neck .... A split lip and her trembling body.As soon as she could she got up and tried to run out but, a guy walked out of the same room, from which this girl came out ... he looked lustful and furious but seeing me, I think he recognized me... he hurriedly walked up to me grabbed the hands of that girl... in his tight grip to which my jaw tightened... he pulled her to himself when all she was doing it trying to get out of his grip and crying ...."Capo? You here? This is my girlfriend, and I am about to get married in a week or so. I am just teaching this bitch a lesson! That's normal for our world, right?"The girl looked visibly petrified and on the verge of breaking down..."LET HER GO!"I said, looking straight into him, but his grip only tightened. That's when Rook took out his pistol and aimed it at the head of this bastard... seeing the gun, his false courage got into the sand...and he left her...The moment her hands were free, she tried to run away, but she tripped over her own dress, and she fell... before she realised the situation and was ready to get up and walk away, I got on 1 knee and looked at her....she was looking at me very, very scared. With her big doe eyes."No one will ever lay a hand on you.. I promise...""wh....wh...Who are ... are you?" she said in her shaky voice, and by now her head bowed down."I am Sebastian Romanov.... what's your name, princess?" I was a little surprised that she didn't know my name... because not to know me is a little rare."Ella.... Ella", what a beautiful name... feels like for an angel..."Ella, why is this bas— .... sorry.... why was that man hurting you, princess?"Hearing my question, she hung her head low, like she was embarrassed to answer the question...and I can sense the impressed reaction of Rook hearing me say 'SORRY' for the 1st time in 14 years of us working together."It's okay, you don't need to answer that, I will get my answers myself." I got up and held out my hands for her to take and get up, but she flinched seeing my hand.... I felt pathetic at that moment... but she deliberately took my hand and got up...."Are you Dmitri's daughter?" I asked her as softly as I could..., but still my voice made her flinch.... GOD! I hate myself for scaring her...."ye—" her response was interpreted by Dmitri... I just fucking want to kill this bastard right here ... but I calmed myself... because I don't want to let my princess see this side of me...('MY PRINCESS??????' what a progress!!!!)"No, no sir... she is just the maid here.... and he is her fiancé.... they will get married in a few days.. But you know....—""SHUTUP!" My anger couldn't be contained any more... the last thread of my anger has snapped.... i grabbed Dmitri by neck ... and seeing that ... Ella... the one and only who should not feel scared of me... started shaking .... and ran towards the gate.... seeing her run towards the gate..., my blood felt cold... so i signaled one of many bodyguards waiting outside the house to not let her leave.... and that son of a bitch misinterpreted .... the signals and.... shot ... Ella in the foot ....The bullet was just meant to stop and was directed towards a woman. So it just injured her flesh... superficially... not much damage... but that amount of damage was also very much for a normal ... and maybe malnourished girl like Ella... so she fell and fainted in seconds.I hurried towards her ... and seeing him in this condition made me more furious than ever.... in the agony .... I shot the bodyguard... and ordered to take Dmitri and the other bastard to the warehouse.I picked Ella into my arms and, without a care for the world... I got in my car."Take me to the nearest hospital.... fast!"
