"Chan-Juan Bai Cheng" I reply back, giving her my devilish smile. "We need to talk" I stroll over to a chair in the corner while I look at the cage she's in; normally she can't get free so how in the world did she manage to pull free from the handcuffs? Maybe James did that; I need to discuss this with him. Kevin opens the door's cage to let James outside.

"What do you from me?" she asks me irritated, crossing her arms and sits on the bed.

"You know what I want" I reply back, looking at the time; 19:23, I need to go home soon, even when Emily won't be there. I look back at Chan-Juan; she's the only daughter of the Bai Cheng Family, better known as 'The Princess' of the Chins. Her dad rules Manhattan and unfortunately I want that, which mean I'll do anything to get it, even when it means doing it the hard way.

"This is something between you and my dad, not me!" she stands up, yelling. "I want to get out! Let me out, Bastard!" she commands.

"You can" I stand up as well, walking over to her, my eyes concentrating on her black ones. "But only if your Family leaves New York"

"Why do you even want it!? My family has been ruling this place for generation so you're the outsider here, why won't you go!" she spits, her face getting redder.

"Because I want this place, and I get what I want, no matter what!"

"Oh, you're that kind of person?" I arch a brow. "You know, the one who is like: I see it, so I want

"I am indeed" I take a step closer, pulling her hair between my fingers and grin. "What I want from you is to demand your family to leave this fucking place and don't come back, not even for vacation" I let her hair go. "We'll make a video where you will say it but when you family won't do what I say" I pull my gun out and shoot the spot just behind her which make her yelp. "Then I guess you need to say goodbye to your life with you secrete boyfriend"

"How do you know?" her eyes are in rage but I simply grin back.

"Who do you think I am? An armature Mafia king?" I chuckle. "I was prepared for everything. I've planned this for years and you all walk right in my hand. Besides, your boyfriend was happy to help me here and there"

"Noah? Is he with you!?" tears prickle in her eyes and she sobs.

"Not really...He is easy to briber...I don't really think it was true love" I turn, showing no emotion and stroll back to the chair.

"I'll swear to god that I will kill him" furiously, she stomps back to the bed, her head resting on her hands.

"Don't worry about that; my men are already doing it but if you want I'll leave the final killing part for you or your family" she stars at me degusted.

"You are sick in your head" I chuckle at that statement; maybe I am indeed.

3 hours later and the video is updating.

"My family will kill you first before they leave this place" she snarls at me.

"I'm not so sure" I take my phone out and show her the photo someone took, on it you see them packing things up for leaving.

"This isn't real! They will never leave without me!"

"You sure?" I ask her and Kevin nods; nice, the video arrived. I expect a response tonight or tomorrow at the latest. "My father has man now following you and I swear they will come any minute now" she threats, while enjoying the meal; thank fuck she at least eats, if she dies from starvation then I don't want to know what will happen to me.

"If they even dare to come near, this place will explode on itself, do you see that?" I point at the corners. "Bombs; just one click and everything in the mile will be gone, you included"

"What about the guards here?" she asks, curious.

"Sadly enough they will die too" she doesn't say a word. "So think twice before even trying anything" and for that I look at James who has a guilty expression on his face; Chan-Juan is beautiful, I won't lie but James need to get his head out of his head. I know he's attracted to her however I need to trust him because I got a feeling he's her weakness too...

"How are you doing, Celeb?" I ask through the phone while I drive back home; Lucy and Liam have been calling me for the past hours, asking where Emily is and I'll answered every time she's staying with a friend.

"Better, my back hurts as fuck" he replies jokingly but coughs.

"That's sad to hear"

"I know but Sebastian and Enzo are helping me to get better as well, today I walked for the first time alone with any help, good right?" he tells excitedly and he sound 10 years again; those old time... "Hey" he starts, getting my attention. "I heard Emily is staying with Bella"

"News travels fast..." I sigh. "Yes, she's staying there, who told you?"

"Bella"

"You two getting close again" I reply teasingly, making him groan.

"We're having contact" there is silence.

"Tell me, I have time" I stop in front of a red light and notice that I'm just a few streets away from Bella's place; should I go? Emily is upset, no, she's angry and I don't really think she will be happy to see me anyways. I don't know what happened...we had the most amazing sex in the world, it was really mind-blowing, and then she acts like that? What's wrong with her? It's not the first time I went after sex? Wait...now I sound like a dick; of course she's angry! Dickhead! Leaving her was wrong; especially after she told me I should treat her better...Why don't think twice when I'm with her? I do things before I think...

"Look..." he starts, bringing me back to reality. "I don't remember her at all but every time I touch her my body knows her and it reacts the way she wants of you get what I mean. Bella comes now and then, looking if I'm doing alright" he chuckles. "And I got this strange feeling that I want to hold her in my arms, just so I know she's safe...we shook hands once and that electricity that shooted through me was so familiar, I can't explain it"

"I get what you mean" I say truly.

"With Emily, right?" he asks and I hum a response. "Tell me more about her, she and I never really had a real conversation" he laughs. "Maybe we did in the past but I don't really remember it"

"Emily...is a lot" I start. "You know that I bought her for the Company and stuff"

"I know, you told me"

"Yes...that's the problem, after I got the company I wanted to let her go but now I somehow can't"

"What do you mean?" I think about the question.

"I don't want her out of my life...She's growing on me and somehow he made her way into me heart" there, I said it. No response... "Celeb?"

"Do you love her?" that gets me off guard. Do I love her?

"I turned that feeling off with Kath"

"It doesn't mean it's off, that it's gone" he replies.

"I'm beginning to know that but we can never work, Celeb"

"Why?" I sigh.

"Because we started the wrong way, I'm no good for her. Hell, I don't even treat her the way she deserve to be treat"

"What did she say in this situation?"

"I don't know...Before we went to Manhattan she told me she's beginning to fall for me but I don't want her to be"

"MATEO! LISTEN TO ME, DUMBASS" Celeb yells. "I know that you don't want your heart to be broken again...The last couples of years you have build a wall around you where no one can go inside but somehow Emily did. She's is breaking down those walls and because of that you're feeling insecure but you don't need to be, bro. You deserve to be happy again, you deserve to be loved, cared and looked out for!" he takes a deep breath. "She's making you happy, you don't see it but we all do, hell even Dad sees that and now he's being an asshole too to stop this shit but you need to know what you want! Emily or Power!" He's right; I can't have both. Emily makes me weak so that means that power is out of the question but is she worth to give up the power I have? Or do I need to concentrate on getting the company as fast as possible so I can let her go sooner rather than later? What the fuck is this woman doing to me?
