Since the Asian beauty entered the hall, the atmosphere seemed to have changed. The people who were talking to each other, the people who were just scrolling through their phones, the people who were dancing, the people who were just bored and on the verge of sleep, were all now just doing the same thing, which was just staring at the Asian beauty standing in front of us.

Her almond-shaped brown eyes were as beautiful as the mug of espresso, her chestnut brown straight hair was resting flawlessly over her shoulders, her caramel skin was glowing under the light coming from the chandelier, and her timber green gown did justice to all her curves, making me wonder how someone could be sculpted that right. She was taller than me, maybe by three to four inches, but shorter than my kidnap...err, Krystal.

Thinking about Krystal, I turned around in her direction. She was watching the woman in front of us with so much intensity and a devilish smirk on her face, which could make anyone fall on their knees. I felt something on my thigh and looked down to find Krystal had placed her hand on my thigh.

I looked back in her direction and saw she mouthed something smiling at the lady in front which I couldn't comprehend and I tilted my head in confusion.

I was annoyed and confused by the sudden change in the atmosphere. Okay she was indeed breathtakingly hot but there was some sort of tension in the air, The face of the Asian beauty hardened, but she smiled back at my kidnap..err, Krystal. Despite the smile on her face, her eyes were indeed drilling holes in Krystal. It seemed like they knew each other from before.

The Asian beauty looked slightly down where Krystal's hand was resting over my thigh, her face hardened for a moment and then she looked above and our eyes met.

If eyes could kill, I would have died right there. Her smile had become even more wicked than before, and her eyes were the only part of her that revealed her true emotions, which were nothing but yelling of danger.

I averted my gaze, and turned my face in the direction of my kidnap..err, Krystal. She was just smiling same as she was before, but her eyes too were contradicting her smile but her eyes had some kind of I don't know what... longing in them? The atmosphere seemed so thick that I couldn't bear it anymore.

"I am going to the washroom," I announced to My kidnapper who was sitting beside me, and she turned around in my direction.

"I am coming with you." She just told me and got up from her place.

"But-" I mumbled reluctantly as I was trying to escape from the two women.

"No Buts Kitten-" She grabbed my hand and laced our fingers.

I was too confused or shocked by her actions that I didn't resist and let her drag us in the direction where I guess washrooms were located.

She opened the door to the washroom and gave me a look, raising her eyebrows.

"Why are you not going in?" She questioned.

"I-I-Who was the mysteriously hot lady?" I questioned back and she gave me an amused look.

"Looks like you found the Cobra Mistress Hot-" she answered and my eyes grew wide.

"What? She is the head of Cobras? Why is she here? " The Cobras had not attended the ball, I don't know how much, but I have never seen anyone from that gang at the function. No one knows where they are, no one knows what they are up to, and no one knows who the leader of the second most powerful gang in the underworld is. They are known for their secrecy and ruthlessness.

"Attending the ball, duh-" My kidnap... err, Krystal replied, and I rolled my eyes at her.

I was going to say something but then I sensed someone's presence behind us but before I could tell my kidnap...err, Krystal she was thrown on the floor and The Asian beauty was now pinning her and grinning, showing her straight perfect teeth as white as tube light, okay bad metaphor, I know.

"What a pleasure to finally meet you, Sandra." My Kidnap...err, Krystal sassed with sarcasm dripping off her every word, the name of the Asian beauty sounded like as if she was spitting venom from her tongue.

"It will be more pleasurable once your heart stops beating, Krystal." The Asian beauty, whose name I assumed to be Sandra, said with an equally venomous tone and I was hella fucking confused about what the fuck was going on, but I was sure about one thing: they indeed knew each other.

Maybe your brother dearest should teach you how to treat a mistress properly. Oh right, he can't because he fled away like a scared mouse as he is. Krystal smirked, and the Asian beauty lunged at my Kidnapper and she kneed her in the stomach, making her groan and by taking advantage of the opportunity, Krystal rolled them and now she was on the top of the woman.

"If you wanted to ride me, all you needed to do was to ask honey." The Asian beauty said, smirking, but I saw her hand was going underneath her gown. Maybe she was hiding something.

"Krystal-," I exclaimed in order to warn my kidnap...err, Krystal about the knife, Asian wicked beauty was going to attack her, Perhaps the knife was made up of some acrylic that didn't get caught by the metal detectors, but that was not the thing to worry about now.

Krystal grabbed the Asian beauty's hair and pulled it forcefully, and then kicked the Asian beauty's abdomen, making the knife fall from her hand.

Krystal hit her head on the floor and took the knife that had fallen and was now resting on the floor.

"Aww, come on Princess. I thought you'd put up some more effort." Krystal smirked, tracing the outline of the Asian beauty's face with the knife.

The Asian beauty bucked her hips upwards, causing Krystal to lose her balance and fall on the floor. She tilted Krystal's head against the floor and skillfully took the knife from her, and then she pointed the knife directly over Krystal's chest.

Everything happening was so confusing and weird that all I could do was watch the catfight with two beautiful women.

I soon heard footsteps and people talking and coming in our direction.

"Shit-" The Asian beauty cursed, and Krystal smirked and punched her with her elbow, causing her to fall to the floor.

"You are not forgetting about the rules for not killing the ball... Are you? Max would be so disappointed if you forgot all the etiquettes." Krystal commented, standing up and dusting away the dust from her tuxedo.

At the moment, it seemed like the Asian woman's eyes flickered when she heard Max's name, but then again, they went empty, devoid of all the emotions.

"And yes, princess, I like curly-haired kittens more than Asian snakes, so remember that before sending some ugly seducer again," Krystal smiled, and then she grabbed my hand and dragged us both out of the place.

I didn't say anything till we reached Krystal's Range Rover and the media was again taking pictures of us returning from the ball, so I faked a smile at them and Krystal was not bothered to do so, as she just opened the car for me and I entered inside, and then soon started the car.

"What was that?" I asked when we were approximately two kilometres away from the event venue.

"Just a friendly greeting." Krystal replied grinning and I gave her a look saying 'whether she lost it'.

"Believe me, that was the friendliest greeting I have ever seen," I replied sarcastically and she chuckled.

"I bet-"She stopped the car in front of an ice cream van and I raised my eyebrows at her.

"What? I want a chocolate dose after dealing with that bitch-" Krystal huffed and unlocked her seatbelt.

"You two seem to know each other-" I leaned back in my seat and crossing my arms behind my head.

"I know her more than she even knows herself, Now do you want anything?" Krystal questioned as she lowered the window.

"Anything is fine," I replied, and Krystal ordered two chocolate & nut cones and handed me one.

I unwrapped the cone and licked the lid.

"Why the fuck are you licking the lid?" Krystal asked and I rolled my eyes at her.

"The real question here is why are you not licking the lid-" I sassed and she sighed, shaking her head.

"I don't want to teach you manners, kitten, but I do recommend that you never do this in front of Max." Krystal sighed and I chuckled, remembering how the old man scolded me for not eating the noodles properly.

"That would be a nightmare," I commented, biting my ice cream, and she smiled at me, and I swear it seemed like a genuine smile, far different from the ones she has given before, I felt my breath hitched when she licked her cone and I averted my gaze.

"I can assure you that it would be even worse kitten-" She said, and I just nodded, looking down at my ice cream.

"Why do you call me Kitten?" I took another bite from my cone and tried to lick the cream off my upper lip.

"Coz- you act like one," she answered, and I withdrew my tongue back into my mouth and pouted, huffing.

I mumbled, "I don't," and she smirked.

"Kitten, you, too, know, you do." She said and ate the last bite of her cone and then started the car. I rolled my eyes at her and finished my cone.

"Why did the Asian lady attend the ball anyway? The cobras have never attended the ball since ages..." I was genuinely curious and Krystal shrugged.

"No one knows what goes inside the heads of the snakes-" she said, and I just nodded and looked out of the window.

The sky was dark and filled with clouds, hiding every star underneath them. The street lights were glowing and the bats were flying in the sky.

"Miss Kidnapper-" I whispered in an urgent voice and she looked at me.

"What?" she asked and I gestured at the rearview mirror through my eyes, and she followed my gaze where it showed we were being followed by two cars.

Then, all of sudden, an SUV came out of nowhere and hit our car on the side.

"Ugh, this life-" I groaned and Krystal sighed, trying her best to speed up and control the car.

"Open the glove box," Krystal commanded, and I did. There I found a gun and I took it, grinning at the weapon. Aww, it's been days without them.

"I hope you know what to do next," Krystal commented and I smirked at her.

Without replying, I opened the window and started shooting at the cars, but they were shooting back. Argh... Fuck! tyres appear to be bulletproof.

"Can you drive a little more straighter?" I scoffed and Krystal huffed.

"Don't blame my driving for the lack of your shooting skills, If I drive straight, then they will capture us." She scoffed and I rolled my eyes at her insult.

I shot at the wheel and the driver lost control.

"Gotcha motherfucker!" I cheered as the two cars collided, and Krystal now accelerated our car straightly, and I closed the window and leaned back in my seat, and sighed.

"Sometimes I hate this life-" I mumbled and Krystal sighed.

"I hate life in general." She said, and I chuckled.

"You know that you sound even older than Max." I said, and she gave me a look, saying, 'you kinda sound like a baka.'

"It's not my fault that the old man has the soul of a fucking child." She commented, and shook her head, and I giggled at her face as she looked like she was seriously considering my comment.

"Now, kitten, I want to tell you the job for which you were kidnapped." She said, in a serious tone, and I too looked at her. Indeed, I was curious about why the fuck she was keeping me. It couldn't be just because she wanted a human cat to be in her bedroom.
