My Heartless Casanova

Chapter 8

Melissa's POV

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, it took years to find her, but she's the one we're looking for." 

I opened my eyes to see nothing but darkness. I tried to stand, but my mouth, hands, and feet were tied. 

Damn it...

"Oh, you finally woke up." 

Someone removed the piece of cloth covering my eyes. I blinked, trying to get used to the bright light. There weren't any windows, but I think it's only been a few hours since I was kidnapped.

"How are you?" A man asked me. He had curly brown hair, silver eyes, and dark skin.

Instead of replying, I looked away. My mouth was still gagged, I nearly rolled my eyes at him for asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"R-right.." He removed the gag

"Obviously, I'm not fine, thanks for asking." I said flatly

"Are you sure? You're not hurt or anything?" 

Why would he ask me that when he was the one who kidnapped me????

"Yes."

"Thank God." He sighed in relief, "the boss would kill me if you are."

"Oh yeah, who was the kind person who choked me?" His eyes widened

"Aiden! AIDEN, COME HERE!!"

"What?!" A man growled, approaching us. He had silver hair, pale skin and blue eyes.

"WHAT THE FUCK, YOU CHOKED HER?!?!" The guy named Aiden flinched

"I-I didn't mean to! I forgot about your orders to not hurt her, but she looked like--"

"I DON'T CARE WHO THE FUCK SHE LOOKED LIKE, YOU COULD HAVE KILLED HER!!!" I nearly flinched at that 

"I-I said I'm sorry!" 

"I DON'T CARE! I'M TELLING THE BOSS!!"

"N-NO! Please, I beg of you!!!" Aiden fell to his knees and held on to the guy's thighs, "I won't do it again, I-I-I-I swear!!" 

The guy thought about it for a while, then told him to treat me more kindly. I sighed and thanked the guy silently. 

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Charles Youthfield."

"And I am--"

We interrupt this conversation by the opening of the front doors. 

"BOSS!" 

What the heck, he even needs an INTRODUCTION?!?!

Everyone in the room formed two lines, making a way for the boss while saluting. I shook my head disbelief, then I realized that the path lead to me. I lowered my head, looking at the ground. I gulped as I heard the footsteps slowly reaching me, then it stopped. 

"Who..is this woman?" A deep voice asked

"Sir!" Aiden answered, "She is the woman we have been looking for!"

The boss turned his head to Aiden. Aiden gulped as he waited for his boss' response. He nodded and Aiden sighed in relief.

"How many years has it been? I have to admit, you really kept your word when you said that you'll hide for years.."

I wanted to speak, but decided to keep my mouth shut. Besides, he might hurt me or something. 

"..so it's high time you give up. Where is it?"
