I was on my way to Brian's house. Yesterday he said that he would come to meet me in studio but he didn't show up neither he was replying to my messages.

Drive went quite fine with 'Dance again' by Selena, this song ain't never gonna old, and imagining Luna sitting on passenger seat.

I pulled the car over into the driveway of Brian's house.

Grabbing the bottle of wine and a bouquet of orchids, I bought in my way, from the back seat, I hopped out of the car and rang the bell of his house.

"Shawn welcome", his mom greeted me with a smiling face.

"Thank you", I handed her the bouquet.

Seeing the bottle in my hands she understood that I was there for kicking off my tensed state along with Brian.

"Mike is also here. You can head upstairs", she smiled at me.

She always treated me same as Brian. We grew up together. Our mothers were also good friends. I smiled back before making my way upstairs to his room.

Holding the bottle in my one hand, I turned the door knob in anticlockwise direction and gave it a slight push, not revealing my self standing behind it.

Before I could push it wide open I stopped in my course when I heard him mentioning Luna.

"I've no idea what that girl is up to Mike. She came to me crying and told me to protect Shawn since there are some bad guys after her", I got so immersed in their conversation that I couldn't sense someone standing behind me.

"Mafia?", Mike's voice with hint of uncertainty pinned in my ears.

"I guess so. I found her behaviour odd since the day one. I could tell that she had something up her sleeves. I also told Shawn to stay away from her but this guy never listens once he's made up his mind", he seemed to get up from bed or chair he was sitting on as I heard couple of footsteps.

"Did you tell Shawn?", Mike asked.

"Have you lost your mind?! Can't you see him? He's messing up with things like a crazy lover just for a girl whom he met a month ago. I told him so that he would leave no stone unturned destroying his career", hearing that was enough for me to slam the door opened.

"How can you do this!", walking up to him furiously, I grabbed him by his collar as the bottle slipped off my hands unconsciously.

"She's the girl I love! How can you be so merciless toward her?!", his facial expressions indicating shame and regret.

"Buddy I didn't tell you just for your own sake", his voice went undertone.

"F*ck my sake Brian! She's in danger!", rage burning in my eyes.

"I need to save her", I pressed my palms up to his chest and pushed him backwards.

"You've no idea what you're heading to", I was about to turn around to walk away from there when he brought something up again.

"You know what she was running from the night when she almost got hit by our car?", I could feel Brian getting tensed up.

Looking to him with quizzical expressions, I narrowed my eyes.

"Her step mom sent her to a man, a middle aged man", he stopped.

"Tell me everything", I gritted.

Flashback

"Please don't tell Shawn that I'm in some sort of trouble. Keep him away from all this", Luna was almost begging, standing in front of me.

She was trying to hold back her tears but it seemed like they were out of her control.

"What happened that night?", hearing out that there were some bad people after her, I wanted to know minor details as my instincts told me that the night she confronted us must had a link with this all.

"I can't tell you", her behaviour was already eccentric but after I asked about that night it went on peak.

"If you don't want me to tell Shawn about all this I want you to tell me about that night", I forced her to spill the truth she wasn't ready for yet.

After thinking something straight for few minutes she started speaking.

"My mom, step mom wanted me to meet someone", she looked around, as if she was afraid of someone showing up on the spot, then glanced back at the door.

"I went to the hotel she gave me the address of. When I mentioned name of my step mom to lady sitting at the counter in lobby of hotel, she told me that some Mr.Lewis is waiting for me in room number 286 on second floor.

I took elevator to the second floor and knocked at door of the room she mentioned.

An old man over fifty year old opened the door. He was wearing bathrobe.

"Come on in", seeing me standing at the door he shot me a mischievous glare.

I hesitantly followed him.

There was a girl laying in bed without any clothes on her body. The man signaled her to leave. She grabbed her clothes from the sofa, changed into them.

Soon she was out of my sight.

"Sit here", he sat on edge of bed and patted on spot next to him. I did as he said.

"Look at sexy body of yours", he leaned close to me.

I felt a bit uncomfortable as I swayed slightly.

"What's your name?", he placed her hand over mine that was resting on bed.

I yanked my hand.

"Mom said you had a job vacancy. And that you would pay me handsome amount", my behaviour was getting emotionally queer.

I wasn't touched by any man in my life except my dad. The touch of that man made some spooky feeling rising in my stomach.

"Yes I do have. You can have luxurious life style. Luxuries will be click away from you", biting his lower lip he kept switching his eyes between my lips and breasts.

"And what do I've to do for it?", I asked.

"Serve me", he shot me a smirk.

"What do you mean by that?", I asked getting up from the bed.

"Your body. Serve me with it".
