Nik's POV

I was very angry, a hot seething anger that blinded me. I never expected it to be Tina, sure she has a tendency to throw a tantrum and chase off my playthings in her own ways but I specifically warned her about Maya.

She was not to be touched.

I understood perfectly why Tina was being this way - she wanted affiliation with the Spencer's which she thinks would be strengthened by marriage.

But Tina knew it was an impossible dream, so she jealously wards off any girl near me ; fearing I would end up choosing one as a wife. After all, who wouldn't want a piece of me?

The Spencer Group is one of the world's most diversified businesses and has built up a large number of different subsidiaries. We were the world's largest luxury goods conglomerate, also operating an entertainment agency .

But unknown to the common people, we were an Arms-producing company - producing and selling, arms and munitions and other military hardwares for the armed forces of states and for civilians.

So in one word , we were ' loaded ' and also the most 'targeted' family on earth. Unknown to most people, their own government often had shady business or deals we carry out in their stead , so we often had affliction with some mafia organization .

"Why did you call me? " Fredrick said sliding into the stool next to me at the bar counter while I signaled the bartender to get him a drink.

The curvy female bar-tender took his order in a flash, while Fredrick's eyes dropped to her low-cut neckline. He licked his lips when she passed his drink to him with a knowing look while I ignored the drama going on.

With unsually cigarette in hand, which was spurting smoke from the butt, I took a long slow puff .I wasn't a smoker but when I'm angry and bloodthirsty, I take one to calm down and reorganize my thoughts.

"Who ruined your mood?" Fredrick asked lifting his drink to his lips and taking a sip.

"Someone you're going to drive to crazed ecstasy " I answered fixing him with a look that revealed my intentions clearly.

A sharp smell of drink mingled with the stagnant stench of cigarette wafts through my nostrils, as Fredrick leans towards me.

He meets my gaze with the smile of one who knows what he's about to receive " Degree? " he asked.

"Enough to go about her daily life " I answered

"Appetizer? " He asked again but this time with a disgruntled face.

With a sigh, I stubbed the cigarette and dug my fingers into the pocket of my pants and handed him a small sachet linen bag.

"This should be enough to make you last a day while keeping you sane " I explained while a lopsided smile graced his face.

Through the corner of my eyes, I saw Judy gesture to me with his hands and I understood at once - she was here.

I patted Fredrick on the back and stood from my seat and headed for the fourth floor; the home for sinners.

As I paused through the hallways with lots of rooms, I let myself wander in thought. What had push me to establish Cloud9 , I couldn't tell but all I knew was that, that period was the darkest part of my life.

Yes,I have a dark side, I admit that but instinctively knew I'd probably feel much better about myself if I could find a way to both accept and embrace, rather than hide, my jagged edges.

So I just thought, why not create a place where you could be yourself without fear or judgements, a place you could let out your inner demons .

Then Cloud9 came to life, its pinnacle of success being the fourth floor aka The Home For Sinners.

I kept on walking to my destination, sweet pain moans, screams and grunts assaulting my ears but I kept a straight face - I was here today for another thing.

I walked into the room I had them reserve and began wasting myself with whisky. My blood was still boiling , just the thought of that day made me see red.

' If Tina had succeeded ' was the only thought echoing in my head.

Soon enough a knock sounded on my door and I commanded her in. She came inside swaying her hips and looking incredibly sexy in that dress which would have turned me on instantly before, but not anymore.

"Baby " She called in her smoky voice and tried to kiss me but I looked away - just the thought of seeing her face disgusted me.

" Drink " I commanded instead and she grumpily tried to take my drink but I referred her to her specially prepared wine.

Once done, she tried to give me her signature sultry look but I questioned her

"Why did you do it? "

She looked taken aback for a while before trying to pretend she had no clue what I was taking about but I didn't let her be

"You know what I'm talking about,Tina. So don't make me repeat myself " I said with a warning tone.

She paled and I snorted internally, did she seriously think I wasn't going to find out? I knew about her dirty tricks with the other girls but I turned a blind eye to her because she was doing me a favour by chasing off those golddiggers.

But Maya was different and I warned her severely about her

"I told you not to touch her! " I growled and she flinched in fear.

But her reply made me go crazy , she had Maya almost raped because she was angry with her? Because I dumped her over a lowlife?!

" Your drink was spiked with two times the amount of drugs you fed her " I confessed to her after a brief contemplation.

She became this way because I gave her her some slack, I let her do whatever she wanted and it was all my fault.

"You did what? " She asked, eyes wide in disbelief.

"You heard me right, Tina " I faced her with a dark gaze "I would've done much more but I began to consider our time together, but unfortunately that doesn't mean you'll go unpunished "

Almost immediately, the door to the room opened and Fredrick came inside as planned while Tina who seemed to have figured out what was going on , began to tremble.

I stood at once " He's a close business associate and absolutely clean , entertain him for today and you can consider your sins forgiven " I announced and turned to leave but she immediately rushed and grabbed my waist from behind, crying

"Please, I'm sorry. I've learnt my lesson, don't do this to me " She pleaded holding unto my body tighter.

I didn't move and listened to her yet my face remain aloof, disinterested until I brushed her off and left.

"Nik no! " She called after me but I wasn't moved and shut the door close.

I wanted to pay her in her own coins and had Originally, planned a gangbang but when I calmed down , I realized it would be extreme.

Moreover Tina was a socialite, though they weren't halfway near our status but her family would definitely cause trouble - which I could handle but I wasn't sure Maya would approve that.

Fredrick was a close business associate and though he seem like a well mannered gentleman but he had a BDSM fetish - Tina sure likes it rough anyway, she would have a great time for the rest of the day.

" Has it arrived? " I asked entering my car as soon as I left the goddamned club.

"Yes " Judy answered handling the blue led ring box to me while I opened and examined the custom-made ring I ordered after the night I ridiculously proposed to Maya.

Funny, she thought I was bluffing then

"I'm sorry but I don't think you can visit her place right now " Judy said as soon as the car roared to life.

My countenance darkened 'Why? what happened? "

" Her family abducted her "

God help them if I find as much as a scratch on her.
