The two bouncers immediately arrived and pulled him away from punching the man. The man couldn't stand up and punch back because he didn't stop until he didn't saw him bleeding. The man was almost unrecognizable because of the bruises on his face‚ his eyes could barely open because of the swelling.
"Boss tama na po yan." The bouncer grabbed him and forced him away. He let out a loud groaned and pulled himself into the bouncer's grip, who immediately released him. He breathlessly straightened his disheveled clothes and brushed his hair.
"WHAT'S HAPPENING? "
A loud shout but a girly voice asked. The people stayed quiet and didn't speak a single word. His face remained emotionless while his jaw was still tense staring at the lying man.
"What happened? Who did it—Mr. Sokolov? " The gay Gaylene asked in surprise. His eye's widen and looked back and forth at him and the man he beat. He looked at him coldly and without emotion. He saw how he gulp and look away
"I'm sorry for what the man did earlier, whatever it was." He apologized with a raw smile on his lips. He turned to the stage where Aida was still standing. His gaze softened when he saw the fear that has written on her face, her arms wrapped around her body as if she's protecting it.
"I want her." He said to gay Gaylene while staring at Aida. He saw how she gulped and looked away. "Huh? Ahm...Aida is not for sale Mr. Sokolov but if you want to bed her‚ why not? Let her change—"
"GODDAMN IT! I SAID I WANT HER! " His voice echoed all around the club. Everyone was shocked because of his authoritative voice.
Fvck! He fvcking hates it when he doesn't get what he wants right away. His pretty sure that his friends are watching him now from the VIP room in this club‚ but fvck‚ he doesn't fucking care! "But—" he didn't let him finish his words when he cut him off.
"One million." His eyes widened and his lips parted. "O-one million? " He asks and stutters.
"Yeah‚ one fucking million in exchange of her." He seriously said. No trace of joking. He wants Aida.
He wants her away from this kind of place. She doesn't belong here. He gulp and look on Aida who's now confused of what they are talking about. He nodded. "O-okay." He smirk and walks towards Aida.
He removed his coat and wrapped it around her body which she make her jump in shock. She looked at him confused. "A-Anong ginagawa mo? " She asked.
"Wrapped you? " He answered back.
"S-stop...b-baka mapagalitan ako. " She said worriedly while looking at Gaylene.
He hissed and didn't stop and fix the coat. He was annoyed because he was wearing so thin. He can almost see her soul.
"I already bought you." He answered simply, turning her around and widening her eyes. He chuckled because of her reaction. Cute.
"B-Binili mo ako?" she stuttered. He nodded to clarify her.
Her mouth hung open and couldn't say anything. " H-how... I mean, bakit? " she asked in disbelief.
"Simple‚ because I want to." He only said
She couldn't speak again because of the shock. And he's sure she is still processing everything. It's really kinda surprising. Especially since he doesn't tend to get involved in other people's problems. But here he is, fighting just because of a woman he can't let go of. It seems like he has a lot of responsibility here. Even though it was only their fourth time meeting.
"Let's go? " he said softly and handed out his hand in front of her. She swallowed hard and hesitantly got his hand. He smiled and helped her walk down the stage.
His face returned to being emotionless when he saw the man from before who was now sitting on a couch with the help of his friend. He didn't look at him again as he walked out of the club while dragging Aida.
He opened the door of the shot gun seat and let in Aida who was now speechless. He adjusted her seatbelt and then went to the driver's seat. He started the engine and maneuvered the car away. "Are you alright?" He broke the silence in the middle of the trip. "Huh?"
He sigh and smile.
"Nothing. Are you hungry? " he ask gently.
She shyly nodded.
He chuckled
"Okay‚ let's stop in the nearby fast food chain." He said and drove the car towards the open and nearby fast food chain.
He stopped the car when they arrived at the Jollibee‚ this was the only open fast food chain they passed . He quickly got out of the car and opened the door. She smiled and thanked him.
He guided her in. The security greeted them to which he just gave a nod. "Go‚ find a seat. I'll be the one to order our food." He ordered here which she immediately obeyed.
He went straight to the counter and stood in line. When it's his turn, the counter girl asked him what he had. He didn't pay attention to her staring at him and just focused on his order.
"Two burgers‚ jolly spaghetti‚ chicken joy and fries‚ for drinks... just an iced tea and Coke float and for the desert‚ Mango graham fudge sundae. " he said.
The girl nodded and giggled. He waited for a minute until she gave his order. He accepted the food tray and immediately walked towards the table where Aida was sitting. "Here." He said and placed it on the table. They ate in silence until they finished and he took her to his condo here in Manila.
She's mine now, I already bought her from Gaylene.
He doesn't want to see her in that club dancing and low-key flirting with the customers‚ he knew that it was against her. But still, seeing her in that kind of dress dancing seductively in the mini stage makes his blood boil. She can dance like that if it's just the two of them‚ she can flirt if it was him. But if no‚ he's rather spent millions just to buy her and be his forever. If this thing called "Territorial" then be it. He doesn't mind as long as she is the price that he will claim. Because she's mine. The first time he laid his eyes on her she's already his. If before he couldn't admit it to himself, now he can show the world that he likes this girl.
that I'll already own her‚ i promise to myself that she can't get away from me anymore.
