His Secret Temptation

"I am not going anywhere, if he wants to talk he should meet me here. " Leandro said as he turned to face me.

I was curious on who the boss was in the other convoy. Suddenly the doors of the Rolls Royce were opened and I was shocked. It was Mr Salvatore, what was he doing here?

My father looked pale, like he'd seen a ghost. As Mr Salvatore walked towards us, members of his convoy joined him. There was no emotion on his face nothing. His hands were stuffed in his coat as he walked.

What was going on? Miss Ophelia ran back inside and shut the door behind her. What exactly is happening??

"Leandro I'd like to talk to you about something. "

He said as he walked to the other side with Leandro without sparimg me a glance. My father was shocked, really shocked.

"Adrielle the marriage is over, we've cancelled it. Now let's go. " He said as he held my hand to run away, but he was caught and pinned to the ground. Now things are getting complicated here.

Andrea

The shock on Julian's face was priceless,he looked like all the blood has been drained from his face. He didn't think I'd be out,he thought he won.

"Leandro I'd like to talk to you about something. "

"Salvatore,why have I piqued your interest today? "

"I'm here for her. Not you. Do you really think she's worth a whooping sum of two hundred million. She's not even humble. " I spoke as Leandro lifted his eyes to evaluate her.

"I'm sure you haven't done a proper investigation on her yet. She has a lover already, they've dated for two years now and Mr Julian says she's untouched. That's just a marketing strategy to get her into your hands. "

"Why are you suddenly interested in helping me? " Leandro asked as he stuffed his hands in his pocket.

"I'm not helping you, I want her. You can see the look on Julian's face when I got in, he's no longer all smiles again. We have a score to settle. " Leandro turned to look at Mr Julian who was pinned to the floor and smiled.

"Fine,how do you settle this? " Leandro asked.

"I'll pay you the two hundred million and walk away with her. "

"Deal. " Leandro said as he walked away and Edward handled the rest. "Don't believe him it's all a lie !!! " Mr Julian screamed but Leandro ignored him.

Leandro ordered his men to tear off the wedding banners from the car and Mr Julian screamed "Noooo !! " As they drove off.

"Miss Adrielle we meet again. " I greeted with a smile.

"Don't you dare speak to my daughter, you piece of shit. "

"Ah, she's no longer yours but mine and I have the right to do whatever I please with her. "

"What do you want? "

"What can you offer? " I asked rhetorically.

"Stay away from my daughter or I'll chop off your fingers and feed them to the dogs. "

"Did you miss the memo? She's mine. Leandro doesn't want her anymore. "

"What is going on here? " Adrielle asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"You're mine now. "

"ADRIELLEEE !!! " A voice called out,I turned to look and it was the legendary Zack Wayne who's better than me. He just got off his bicycle and wanted to rush towards Adrielle but Edward stopped him.

"He must be Zack right? The one who's better than me at everything? " I asked sarcastically.

"Stay away from her,you son of a bitch. " He yelled. "Adrielle, don't do this. We promised to be together. We promised to start our family. Adrielle listen to me,I just need time. Adrielle..." I couldn't help but smile at the scene unfolding before my eyes. A family??

"Zack,I'm sorry. " Adrielle said as tears came down her cheeks but she looked the other way to prevent Zack from seeing them.

"Don't tell me you're crying for him? " Adrielle didn't say anything and I smiled. It's time to take my new toy home. "Let's go. " I spoke and she followed quietly.

"Adrielle don't!! " Her father screamed but she didn't answer.

"Let's go. " I said as Adrielle locked her elbow in mine.

Adrielle

"Zack I'm sorryyy !! " I wanted to shout those words out loud but I couldn't. I wanted to hug Zack be in his warm embrace but I couldn't. Would Zack ever forgive me for this?

This is pure betrayal, I betrayed Zack, I destroyed his trust. I'm a monster !!!

I don't even understand what just happened, I was being treated as a commodity. Where I was being sold and bought.

"What just happened out there? " I asked Andrea as he sat beside me.

"You belong to me now. " Andrea spoke coldly.

"Did you just buy me? " I asked out of curiosity.

"For two hundred million. Yes and you're quite cheap. " Andrea said as he let out a mocking laughter.

"I'm not cheap. " I retorted.

"Your biological father put a price tag on you. You're CHEAP. " His words felt like a dagger, it stabbed my chest. What was I expecting from the man I call " FATHER "

If he had the balls to put his wife in prison and bring in his mistress into our house. Then he had the guts to put a price tag on his only daughter. This realization only fueled my hatred for him.

Mr Salvatore's appearance has destroyed my plan. My plan of finding my mother, I need to find an alternative. I can't just give up like that.

As I looked through the window, my mind replayed things that happened in my mind and suddenly it clicked.

Who was the man sitting beside me? Why did my father's countenance change when he saw him? My father was afraid and that was visible. What kind of dirt did he have on my father to make him afraid of him?
