I am a Beast. I live in the dark, I hunt in the dark and I always want to stay in the dark.

-Damien

I looked back to see Dante standing on the door. Why can't on Earth I can spend some quality time with Amber?

"What's wrong?", I hissed.

"Boss all the unde-erbosses are wait-ting for you in the study.", Dante stammered. Freaking pup!

"Go back I will be there in a while.", I told him. Dante gave me a curt nod before running off.

I felt someone tapping my cheek. I looked ahead to see Amber was softly patting my cheek. I sighed.

"Come let me show you your room before I go for a meeting.", I said to Rain.

She nodded her head and got up. I picked up Amber in my arms and luckily this time she didn't protest. She let me carry her and I couldn't be more glad.

Rain's room was just next to me and in the same corridor as Amber's. I looked at Rain to see her looking at everything with awe. Thank God she liked it. I opened the door to her room as I let her step in first.

"This is going to be your room and if you need something then you can find me in my study.", I told her as I put Amber down not before kissing her cheek.

"I will be back soon.", I told Rain as I left the room.

I made my way to my study to see all my best three men with Dante waiting patiently for me. They all turned around as I entered the room. I crossed all of them as I made my way behind the study table.

"Spill.", I growled. They know today I specially said that no one should disturb me yet these nincompoops are here standing in front of me with their head hung low.

Something is seriously wrong I know that otherwise they should not have disturbed me. All four of them gulped audibly and looked in each other's direction.

I could feel my patience slipping. Are they trying to test me? I banged my hands on the table making them all flinch. Thank God the room was sound proof.

"Speak you fools.", I roared as I looked in their direction. What was wrong with them?

"Boss.....", Dante started but closed his mouth as soon as I looked in his direction.

I pinched the bridge of my nose. Calm down Damien. These fool won't utter a word if you scare then this way. I ran my hand through my hair.

"Antony speak.", I hissed and looked in Antony's direction. It was very ironical to see such a bulky man shaking like a leaf.

"Boss, Piper has man-naged to es-escape.", Antony stammered.

"What!", I roared as I threw away all the things on the table with a wipe of my arms. I was breathing heavily.

How could he escape? It took us four months to capture him and he was able to escape. I posted my best man near the underground dungeon.

"How?", I hissed. For few days I didn't pay attention to the work and this happened. Are my men this incapable?

"One of the our men was a spy of the Vincenzo's. He helped Piper to get away. He killed five of our men.", Pear stated.

Betrayal is one of the biggest bane in out world. Loyalty is the priority in our work.

"Who is he?", I asked them. I was losing my temper.

"Sir his name is Carlos.", David stated.

Carlos, he was the part of the investigation team. So he is the mole. I felt anger coursing through me. How dare he?

"Where is he?", I asked my men.

"In your basement boss.", David stated. A sadistic smile curled on my lips. Oh how much fun I will have tonight!

"Go to the basement I will join you in a moment.", I told no one in particular. They all nodded their head and left.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. I left the study and made my way to Amber's room. I opened the door but found no one in there. I frowned. Where are they?

Next I made my way to Rain's room. I softly opened the door. I looked in the room to find both mother and daughter sleeping peacefully. A wave of protectiveness enveloped me. I won't ever let anyone hurt them.

I left the room and made my way downstairs towards the basement. They won't be waking up any soon.

I opened the door to the basement. I saw Carlos chained on the chair and all my men standing near him. I opened the door widely as I entered inside.

"Nice to meet you Carlos.", I said in sickening sweet voice.

I looked at Carlos to see blood was dripping from his clothes. Guess my men have done a good job.

I walked past him to the rack where there were all my favorite toys aka weapons. I looked around the rack to find a perfect toy. What should I choose a gun or a knife?

I looked around and settled on a pocket dagger. This would just serve the purpose.

I walked back to see a chair placed in front of the chained Carlos. I smirked they know exactly what I plan to do.

I sat in front of him and looked straight in his eyes. Fear! This is what I live for.

I took my dagger and pushed it down on Carlos' shoulder blade. A defying scream could be heard in the basement as he shouted and trashed. Poor bloke. I pity him.

I took out the dagger from his shoulder. Blood dripped down from it. Beautiful! I like it.

"Please for-rgive me.", Carlos whispered.

Forgiveness, there is no such thing in our line of work. I looked at him. He was breathing heavily. His form was shaking. Interesting didn't he know the result for what he have done?

"Tell me what information you passed to the Vicenzo?", I asked him.

"I ju-ust told him about the locations where you keep the drugs and from where women are trafficked.", Carlos said in a pained voice.

So not much information was out. As it is we don't share confidential information with normal workers.

I took my dagger next to his arm as I tore the skin of his right arm apart. A scream left his mouth but it was music to my ears. I utterly enjoyed it.

"Did you meet Dimitri?", I asked him calmly.

"N-no.", he stated while shaking his head. So that rat is still hiding in his hole.

"Boss isn't Dimitri dead?", Dante asked from the back.

Do I really need to answer that. I looked in Dante's direction and gave him a hard glare. I hate it when someone cross questions me. My glare was enough to shut him us. Good. He should have known Dimitri was very well alive. Pathetic!

I looked in front at the piece of art that I was creating. Carlos was bleeding non stop. But this only excited me.

"Who were you working for?", I asked him.

He looked in my direction but didn't open his mouth. So you are planning to hide things from me. Well then let me show what happens when you don't listen to me.

I took his right hand and placed his index finger above the dagger. He looked at me while pleading from his eyes. Sorry buddy, this can't be helped.

I put pressure on his finger with the knife and finally chopped it of. Another scream left his mouth. I looked at his missing finger and couldn't help but smile. I was really enjoying it.

"Now answer me. Who were you working for?", I hissed.

"Lan-ce.",he said while breathing heavily.

I looked at him confused. If he helped Piper then why was he working for Lance?

"But Lance is part of the Rosa?", Pear asked my unasked question.

"They have joined hands.", Carlos whispered.

So those pups are now going to join hands to get rid of me. Interesting.

"Boss can I talk to you for a moment.", Antony asked. I nodded my head as I got up from my chair. I know what he wants to talk about.

We walked out of the room as I looked in his direction.

"Boss it's a serious matter.", Antony stated as I nodded my head. I know the situation's seriousness.

"Boss they are planning something big.", Antony said.

"Relax Antony. We know those pups can't do anything. Let's first handle Carlos and I am sure he must have some information to give us.", I told Antony to which he nodded his head.

We walked inside and I took my place back and looked directly at Carlos. He has lost lots of blood. I knew he won't survive for long so I needed to make the interrogation real quick.

"What are they planning to do?", I asked him.

Carlos looked at me and smirked. He f*cking smirked.

"Is the Beast scared?", Carlos mocked me. This made my blood boil. How dare he. Calm down Damien. You still need information from him. I took a deep breath and let go of a bitter laugh.

"Really you think fools like you can scare me?", I asked him and his face fell. What did he think he can scare me.

"Whole underworld knows that you have a daughter. They will use her against you. What her name? Umm Amber. She is just as beautiful as her mother. What a piece!", Carlos stated.

Enough I couldn't take it anymore. How can he even talk about my woman in such a tone. How could he take their names. I started seeing red.

"Now I will show you what happens when you take the name of something that is mine.", I hissed.

I tore apart his shirt as I took in his bloodied form. Now he was shaking. He should have thought before taking name of something that is mine.

I took my dagger and forced it inside his chest, a shrill scream left his mouth as I moved the dagger downwards. Lower and lower. I was utterly enjoying it.

This is how the my next half an hour went. Torturing and interrogating him. My sadistic part enjoyed hearing his screams. So finally when all the information I needed was gained, I sliced his throat in such a manner that he choked on his own blood.

Finally when I got up from the chair I was completely covered in blood.

"Take care of the dead body. Also search for Piper and find location of the Vincenzo.", I told my men as I walked out of the basement.

I looked at my watch to see it was about eight o'clock. I quickly went in my room making sure neither Rain nor Amber see me this way. Now I don't want to scare them on their first day in my house.

I rushed inside my room. I went inside the bathroom, stripped my clothes and took a quick bath. I wrapped the towel around my lower half as I made my way towards my closet. I picked out a t-shirt and a pair of sweatpants.

I ran a hand through my damp black hair as I exited the room. I looked outside to find my men standing outside.

"What do you want?", I growled. I was seriously developing a headache because of them.

"Boss do you have any other order for us.", David asked.

"No. Now get out of my house.", I hissed at them as they hurriedly left.

Why do I keep such morons around me? I thought to myself.

I made my way to Rain's room as I softly opened the door. The lights were turned on. I looked at the bed to find only Amber sleeping on it.

"Rain....", I called out and soon from the walk in closet she emerged wearing a tank top and pajama shorts. She looked even more tiny in those clothes.

"Yes.", I heard her angelic voice. She was looking at me.

"Let's go down for the dinner angel.", I told her.

Angel it suits her. Guess I will call her this from now on and the blush that crept on her cheeks just added to it as bonus. Guess she likes it too.

"You can go down. I will wake Amber and come down along with her.", Rain told me.

I looked at Amber's sleeping form and an idea to strengthen our bond came to my mind.

"Can I wake her up?", I asked Rain to which she nodded her head.
