Chapter 2 002

Selena crept along the wall, observing the situation to make sure her sister had left. "Thank goodness!" She sighed in relief after the woman vanished from her sight, but now she felt anxious, worrying that there might be people who could recognize her seeing her there. As she shook her head to dispel those terrifying thoughts from her mind, she turned and accidentally saw a mask from a past party lying on the table. Quickly, Selena picked it up and put it on her face. Now her beautiful face was not fully visible, she breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that no one would recognize her with this disguise. She continued her steps, her fingers intertwined to calm her nerves. She opened the VIP door and saw a group of men sitting in a circle in front of a table facing the dance floor below. As the room was high-class and only accessible to certain people, its facilities were top-notch. There was a bar table providing various drinks, a billiards table, as well as music entertainment led by a top-class DJ on the dance floor below. From the second floor, there was a glass railing, the sofas arranged towards the glass railing, and a staircase next to it leading down there. The atmosphere was complemented by dim lighting, adding an intimate touch typical of a night bar. Selena walked to the bar table, looking at the notes that were already written there. She quickly mixed several drinks, pouring them into glasses and opening a few bottles. Peeking behind the bottle rack in front of her, she observed her guests dressed all in black at the end. After finishing the mix, she left the bar table and walked towards their seats. The smell of tobacco smoke and others mingled heavily that night with the surrounding air as she squatted politely, placing their drinks in front of the table. "Is there anything else you would like to order, Sir?" she asked, holding the tray in her hand. The men remained silent, as if waiting for someone authorized to respond. After a moment of silence, Selena understood that a pair of eyes had been watching her the whole time. Sitting on the end of the sofa, he seemed to be the main leader of the night party. The person who would pay. "Come here!" the voice was commanding, heavy, and full of emphasis as he ordered Selena to approach.

Leonardo waved his hand, signaling for Selena to come closer. However, the one called remained staring at the floor. "Hey, do you not have ears?" his voice sounded louder. Whispers from the other men began to be heard, anticipating their boss's anger towards the woman in front of him. "Hey, sweet miss, listen to his orders; he's not in the mood tonight!" Samuel, who sat on the sofa closest to Selena, whispered. The girl froze, recalling Madame Madeline's warning from earlier, that the man was cruel and merciless. Selena, who was initially frozen as the man's voice was so familiar, now dared to step forward. Her slender body glided gracefully in front of them, each curve fitting perfectly to enhance her beauty. "I like your innocent demeanor! You are quite challenging," Leonardo grinned, observing her long legs with their smooth white skin. But as the man's voice rang out again, Selena felt even more familiar. The man's voice seemed like it was recorded in her head. She felt she had heard this voice before, but who was it? Finally, Selena dared to look at him, and at that moment, her feet stopped in their tracks. Her body trembled as if rooted to the floor. She met the sharp gaze of the man again, the epitome of perfection in this world. Leonardo! The name echoed in her mind, and at that moment, her heart felt like it was about to collapse. The man was staring at her intently, his penetrating gaze capable of making anyone submit, while his lips sucked on the cigar between his fingers. Questions immediately flooded her mind. How could she serve him, the son of her own employer? How could they meet here? The man had been away for quite some time, granting her peace in her life, but it seemed that tonight would mark the beginning of her misfortune again. Selena wanted to run, but seeing the man waving his hand, she felt like she couldn't leave. "Do you want me to force you?" the man's tone was no longer calm as he sipped a glass of dark yellow liquid in front of him. It seemed that he was starting to ignite with anger. Selena hesitated further, afraid that he might recognize her. "Alright! I like it; coercion and roughness are my two favorite things," the man grinned, taking off his jacket. At the same time, the man's associates moved away. They seemed to understand the signal being sent by their boss. The six subordinates rose, leaving Selena standing in fear in front of their boss.

The eerie atmosphere made her feel even more pressured. She could not afford to die at this moment. After recalling her goal, she tried to push aside her fear. Selena did not want to fail tonight; she had to have a hold of the one hundred million. Finally, she took a step forward and ignored the tension. She smiled, so sweetly, trying not to appear stiff so as not to arouse suspicion. "And I will not make you do either of those things, Sir. Because tonight, I will not disappoint you." Her voice sounded gentle, although the tremor of nervousness could be felt by the man. She then poured a drink into his empty glass, trying to be as warm as possible. Then she handed the glass to Leonardo. "Let's have fun!" she added, managing to say it somehow, sounding like an experienced seductress. Leo accepted it with a cold gaze. The girl was about to take a seat on another sofa, but Leo's hand quickly pulled Selena's waist, causing her to sit on his lap. Startled, Selena let out a surprised yelp, unprepared. Their faces were now even closer, their eyes locking, staring deeply into each other's. The pounding in the girl's chest intensified as their bodies touched. The gaze from the man had successfully weakened her. His undying handsomeness remained unchanged—it was no wonder Madame Madeline had mentioned the numerous women who offered themselves to him, even though they had to endure his torture first. But what they wanted was not the same as Selena; Leonardo was a dangerous man for her. She always felt fear whenever she was near him. Leonardo sipped the drink given by Selena, and the corners of his lips were now drawn up, observing the woman whom he could not see fully due to the mask covering part of her face. Despite this, he could guess that she was quite beautiful from the sparkle in her blue eyes. His hand then stretched to caress the girl's thigh, tracing the petite body with its beautiful curves, incredibly enticing. Selena was taken aback by someone else's actions. She shuddered; the touch sent an electrifying shock through her. The man's gaze also made her wary. "Beautiful eyes," the man praised the beauty of the woman before him. "Thank you," the girl replied softly. She tried to maintain composure as much as possible, even though she felt so pressured; being near him felt like sensing a lurking danger. Behind her mask, she knew that the man with the perfect face sculpture would not let her go once he knew who she really was at that moment. The girl's hands tightened as she restrained herself from the man's warm touch. She had never been this close in an intense manner before, not even with the man she loved. She wanted to jump out of his lap but realized she had to endure as she was working.

The intense black eyes of the man in front of her focused on the alluring fold of her lips. The dark and heavy aura dominated, mesmerizing the girl into the sensations the man created. The darkness felt even closer as the man's face closed the distance between them, causing the girl to grip the man's arms. She could smell the scent of his breath, a blend of wine and his unique masculine fragrance. "May I remove your mask?" he whispered right in front of the girl's face, his hand even raised to pull the object. Selena widened her eyes in surprise, then quickly shook her head. The man was rejected! Leo fell silent for a moment, no one had ever dared to reject him before, he would not accept any reason, not even this girl rejecting him without giving an explanation first. A thin smile appeared on the man's lips before finally capturing the lips that had been the object of beauty before his eyes. His lifted hand held her neck. This was a fitting response to her rejection. Immediately, Selena's chest burned, the warmth spreading throughout her body. She held her breath, feeling stifled. The thick, wet lips of the man felt like they were devouring her, lapping at her lips. It was the first time her kiss had been taken like this. Her hand gripping Leo's arm, she could do nothing but stay silent and pretend to enjoy it. Leo continued to kiss the girl's lips, nibbling gently, sucking on them, waiting for a response. His other hand rubbed and caressed the girl's thigh sensually. But minutes passed without any response from her; the girl seemed stiff as if she had never experienced it before. "Your lips are sweet, baby," Leo whispered as he released the kiss, touching her lips with his finger, wiping away the traces of his saliva left there. "Ugh!" Suddenly, the man's kisses moved to her neck, surprising and causing Selena to stiffen. Her face lifted with almost white eyes, her mouth unable to contain a groan as the man's tongue swept her neck from bottom to top. Not a single spot was left untouched by his caresses. The motion was repeated until Selena could only blink while gripping the man's arm. It would be a lie if she didn't feel anything; this kiss had managed to awaken another side of her, although she didn't want to show it. One of Leonardo's free hands stroked Selena's waist, moving up from her stomach to end up on her chest, gently squeezing the perfectly sized object in his hand. The girl tensed, feeling the improper touch, his touches sent tingles spreading throughout her body, evoking indescribable sensations. Leo briefly held the girl's neck before kissing her lips again. "Your lips so sensual, baby!" he whispered amidst the passionate kiss without releasing his grip.

The night had passed, Selena left the room when her job was done. She walked through the hallway towards the exit, immediately removing the mask she had been wearing, and took a deep breath. Her eyes closed, feeling a slight regret. She squeezed the one hundred million in her grasp, having just received the payment. Despite her determination and good intentions, she still felt cheap now because she had sold her first kiss to that man. But as she realized it was already late at night, she quickly continued her steps, trying to forget all the events of this night. She quickly put the money in her worn crossbody bag. Walking to find the nearest restroom to change her clothes. Suddenly, a sound made her stop in her tracks. Srrrk! She heard a rustling sound and cries of pain not far from her. The atmosphere immediately felt tense, horror enveloped her, the place was very quiet, the night activities had decreased, but the loud sound she heard was alarming. Her hair stood on end as she turned aside and was shocked to see someone lying in a pool of blood, with a crushed face and stab wounds in the abdomen. "Aaa..." she screamed spontaneously, her eyes widened, quickly covering her open mouth with her hand. She was very scared at this moment; even moving her feet was so difficult. "Boss, someone saw us!" one of the perpetrators of the stabbing said, and the boss called out immediately turned around. His gaze directly landed on the girl in a red dress standing at the end of the hallway. "Leonardo!" Selena whispered in her heart upon seeing the man who had done all of this. She quickly pulled her trembling feet and ran swiftly away from this place, away from the man who might be chasing her. Leo narrowed his eyes, looking at the girl in the red dress who looked familiar. "She seems like the woman who just served you, Sir," one of the man's henchmen said. Leo stood up immediately and ran towards the end of the hallway to chase after the girl.
