The thick Italian accent shattered the dead silence of the dimly lit room. Lydia's hands trembled violently against the zipper of her cheap dress. "Please..." she whispered, her dark eyes welling with terrified tears. "I-I can just do the accounting... I can fix your books..." Lucian stepped out of the shadows, his towering, muscular frame swallowing all the air in the room. His cold, piercing grey eyes locked onto her petite, shivering body. "I don't need a calculator right now," he grunted, his voice devoid of any human warmth. He closed the distance in one terrifying stride, his massive hand wrapping around her fragile jaw. "I need my payment." "I'm scared..." she sobbed, completely trapped by his dark aura. "One million dollars, little bird," he murmured ruthlessly, his thumb brushing her bruised lip. "You have fifteen days left. Now, spread your legs or I send your father's head in a box." Out of pure instinct, she tried to step back. His eyes darkened into a lethal storm. He violently gripped her waist and threw her onto the silk sheets. *** Lydia was a brilliant accounting graduate with a simple dream: a quiet life.
