His Queen

Chapter Four

Dinner went by smoothly, the two were comfortable enough around each other that silence was welcome and not awkward.

"There is a business gathering happening soon." Sebastian told Arielle.

"Are you going to take me this time?" She asked, picking up a piece of pasta on her fork and putting it in her mouth.

"Maybe. The photographers will be at the entrance but I think I will decide based on the pictures the press release tonight." He explained, "If they're able to take a clear shot of your face it'll be a while until we can be seen with each other in public before they start to suspect something."

Arielle nodded. It made her heart soften at the thought of him worrying about her. Yet, a part of her always wondered whether or not their life would always be like this.

At the sound of a notification, the two snapped their heads at Sebastian's phone.

The moment was blurry but before Arielle could comprehend, Sebastian dropped a fork and swept it underneath the table cloth.

Arielle bent down to pick it up and almost as if it never happened, Sebastian whispered ever so faintly into her ear.

"We're surrounded."

Arielle nodded and picked up the fork before letting out a violent cough.

"Ari, are you okay?" Sebastian asked, a couple eyes turning to Arielle—all from the staff.

"Yea, I think I'm coming down with something." Arielle excused, "We should head home before it gets colder."

Sebastian nodded and took off his jacket before wrapping it around her and pulling her close to him and leaving $200 on the table, well enough to cover a tip and the cost of their unfinished meal.

The two began to make their way to the elevator before being stopped by a man in a grey suit, his eyes twinkling with mischievous intentions.

"Sir, madam, aren't you leaving too soon?" He asked, stepping closer to push them further back.

"Well, we just thought that we would head home a little early." Arielle explained, buying enough time for Sebastian to brush a hand through this hair and slipping in a Bluetooth earpiece.

"Boss, they have the place surrounded." A voice informed, causing Sebastian to ever so slightly tighten his hold around Arielle.

It was Jaxon who was on access immediately.

"You haven't had dessert yet!" The man exclaimed.

"Take the stairs, Christian hacked into the surveillance cameras and they have two men stationed in the elevators." Jaxon whispered.

Not letting the man continue, Sebastian quickly interrupted, "We must be headed out now."

With that, he pulled Arielle with him to the stairwell.

"They're getting away! Find men to block the stairwell!" The man screamed, ordering into what seemed like a walki talki.

Sebastian started into a sprint, allowing Arielle to catch up with him.

"Are you alright in those heels?" He questioned in worry as they reached the stairs.

"I got this, let's go before they actually get us." Arielle replies, "Last one to the bottom is the other's servant for a week!" She chuckled, trying to make the situation lighter.

Just like it was out of a movie, they both began sprinting down the 10 flights of stairs. Like children, the two couldn't help but laugh before realizing the severity of the situation as they notice the two men in black at the front of the exit.

While Sebastian stood still, thinking of a clever way out of the situation, Arielle let out a prayer and sprung into action.

"Ari—" But before Sebastian could even say anything, she was already gone.

"Ugh, my heels hurt so much." Arielle sighed rather loudly, removing of her heels.

The two men snapped their heads to the sound of her voice. The moment their eyes laid on her, they could feel their jaws going slack before coming back to their senses.

"Who are yo—" A man asked before Arielle shushed him with her finger.

"Someone who is really tired." She complained.

The men smirked at each other before turning back to the innocent, naive women in front of them.

Arielle couldn't help but feel disgust. Men like them only ever thought about sleeping with women and using them like trash.

Yet in a sick way, it was what Sebastian did looked like the public eye too.

She let out a stretch before subtly snapping her wrist to the exit, signaling Sebastian to get ready to escape.

"How bout we take you to a hotel?" One of the men suggested, "The business men here, assuming you arrived with one, are no fun."

"Really?" Arielle asked, allowing herself to be pushed back to the wall.

The two me cornered her far enough for Sebastian to slip through the exit quietly.

Slowly, Arielle turned herself slowly towards the exit as well.

"Darling, let me teach you a good time." One of the men grinned, backing her up closer to the exit.

Allowing her back to push onto the door, it swung open greeting the two men with six men with their guns pointed.

"Arielle, get into the car." Sebastian ordered, irritation rippling throughout his words.

Arielle hopped into the passenger seat before Sebastian got in as well.

"YOU LITTLE BITCH!" A man screamed just as Sebastian drove off.
