Being Marked | ✔️

Spellbinding Pulses

"Take her away!" The leader demanded his men to vanish me from his sight. He was fanning himself with the money I earned a couple of minutes ago.

"We had a deal you fucking bastard! Where is my father?" I struggled my way out of his men's strength.

"Oh. Did I mention your father? I'm sorry. I don't know who you're talking about. Bye now." He waved me goodbye with the money I gave him.

10 minutes ago...

"Here is your damn money". I threw the same money Xander threw at me. "Now we had a fucking deal. Where is my father!?"

The leader chuckled. "Now now. What's the rush? A beautiful lady like you should take a rest. After all, you completed a hard job". The leader forced me on a seat and rubbed my shoulders. It was very uncomfortable so I shrugged him off. He then threw me a couple of bills. It amounted to $250.

"Thanks for the consideration but I want to know what you promised." I hissed.

"Promised? I haven't promised anything. Did I boys?" The men shakes their heads and laughed along with the leader. "Sweetheart, darling, baby. I don't know what you're talking about".

I pulled out my phone and showed him the text. "Then what the fuck is this?"

"Oh. That's just bait. You know, to get you in."

"Why? Out of all women. Why me?" I muttered without eye contact.

"Well you're one of the closest person on our client's list. He is an exclusive client, so why not bring in someone he knows."

I shivered at his words. Are they just using me? "Well I don't care. You got me now I need you. Tell me where my father is?"

"What father? Take her away boys!" He just disposed me like a tissue. On top of that, Xander comes here often fucking girls? What the hell is wrong with this bastard! I was taken away by the men.

"Hold on hold on! I want to say something before I leave!" I yelled out.

"Men. Release." The men dropped me to the floor. Thanks bastards! I walked up to the leader.

"Here are my last words!" I slapped the leader across the face.

"Bitch! What the hell are you doing!?" The leader looked very enraged. "You dare humiliate me after how much I have given you? Shit. I shouldn't have given you anything. Soon, you shall pay! Boys!" His men lifted me up once again and was shown the elevator. The golden elevator flew up to the main level. The men threw me out once the door opened. Luckily the elevator is at a secluded corner where no rich person would ever go to. However, I bumped into someone's arms.

"Stay out lady! Ever some back, you're dead!" They motioned their thumbs across their necks as the door closed. I slowly looked up, frightened on who saw this whole encounter and whether or not I will by sympathized. I was completely wrong. Xander held me in his arms but looked down at me with an emotionless glare. Xander being emotionless can be really scary but I'm even more frightened about what happened 15 minutes ago.

He helped me gain balance from the throw and lead me to a love seat.

"Are you ok?" Still no emotion on his face.

"Y-yes." My body shivered to his question. I really didn't want to answer him because I was scared.

"Let's get you home." He grabbed my hand and we head out of the fanciest hotel in the city. Once we exited, I let go of his grip. I didn't want to make a commotion inside the fanciest hotel I have ever been in my life. It's ideal to do it outside...after the man received my car.
