Aiden Hale
Immediately he ended the call, it didn't take long before he left. Without looking at me.
Maybe I was a little bit jealous. Wait, I was jealous because he had given more attention to the call than me. Oh my god Aiden you're such a fool.
I sighed as I jumped on the bed. I was bare chested. Looking at my little reflection from the mirror.
As night fell, I wondered what my fate would be?
"What am I still doing here?"
The cold dawning realization had hit me like a snowball.
I shouldn't be here. I had a job. I had an entire life outside, why would I let an over pampered bully keep me here.
I had made up my mind. The moment he came back, I was going to tell him to let me go.
Yet the real question was it if I wanted to go? I had gotten so used to his gaze.
His frown and then the way he put me on the bed with his body over mine.
Snap out of it Aiden. You can't let Cassian do this to you. You had a job and that was way more important than any other messed up feeling I was harbouring.
"Excuse me, your dinner is here"
I heard a masculine voice. I turned and then I saw a man dressed up in a black suit looking at me.
"Yes. Just keep it by the corner. I'll eat when I'm ready"
I answered briskly as I tried to return back to my thoughts.
"Umm Sir, Mr Rourke gave strict instructions to watch you while you eat"
The butler said.
I paused as I was stunned in amazement. Cassian was truly messed up in the head.
"So lemme guess. I'm expected to eat while you watch me"
He nodded slowly. I honestly couldn't believe it.
Who does that? Cassian Rourke I guess.
So, I sat down there and ate the food. It was quite discomforting despite the fact that it was a really expensive meal.
The steak was cooked to perfection, everything tasted refined, especially the wine.
Then I stopped eating instantly as an idea popped up in my head.
"What if this food was drugged?"
I whispered to myself but unknown to me, the butler had heard me.
"More wine?"
He questioned, and that was when it hit me. It wasn't even the food that was drugged. It was the wine.
The thrilling realization came with everything fading before me as I helplessly became unconscious.

Cassian Rourke
I wished I could control the urge to turn him around and place my dick in him but it was hard.
Maybe if I focused more on trying to find out what he had to do with all of this. I wouldn't be so obsessed with trying so hard to fight the urge to do all the dirty things in my head.
"Sir, he's been taken to the base"
My security detail informed me. Earlier on, I had them drug Aiden. He was going to be brutally beaten.
It was my way of doing things. I needed answers. Everything pointed to him. I couldn't let my father down.
Even if it meant betraying my pleasure which unfortunately, Aiden was.
"I'll be there in a minute"
I informed him. The truth was I didn't want to be there but I just had to.
It's not even like I cared for him but the truth was that in reality, I would rather have him on my bed than on the floor bleeding.
I braced myself as I walked into the room, with the sight of my security detail beating him up.
I couldn't show my sympathy.
"Stop. It's okay"
I said briskly as they stood aside and revealed his badly beaten body.
His face was swollen and I could see his nose was bleeding badly. For a moment I felt bad but I couldn't let it show.
"Remove the rag in his mouth"
I ordered them. Immediately the rag was removed from his mouth he screamed:
"You sick fuck. Who the fuck does this?"
I rolled my eyes. What was he expecting? Did he think that he was any different from the others?
Even worse, he was a victim.
"Now, will you tell me who you work for?"
He stared at me with a deep passion of hate. I could see the hate swelling up within him.
He wanted to explode and probably hit me but he was helpless. He couldn't do anything. I loved that fact.
"You're not going to answer? Or should I tell them to continue"
I said as I gestured one of my fingers to my security. They moved forward.
Then he struggled to stand up. Which was quite a heroic feat from his side. I really enjoyed watching him struggle.
He tried his best and walked up to me with his swollen eyes.
"Just look at you. You're so pathetic. You think doing all of this makes you look strong and powerful. You don't even know half the truth of who you are. You can beat me, torture me or even worse kill me but you won't get anything. You're just as weak as your father"
Listening to him made me squeeze my fist and boil in anger. I knew that with one word he would be history. He would be dead.
Immediately he was done speaking, he collapsed.
But I had a better revenge in mind. I put my hand down as I spoke.
"Call the doctor and get him treated. Make sure he's absolutely fine. I have a lot in mind for him"
I said as I walked away. I was going to make him pay for sure.

Aiden Hale
I woke up with a light head as it occurred to me I was dropped on my bed.
I was given limited access to parts of the penthouse under the guise of anonymity and protection.
"What the fuck?"
I cussed. Why was he doing this to me? He almost killed me now I'm what? Supposed to be his hostage?
"There was no way, not in hell"
"You move cautiously, are you aware that every step you take is monitored."
I heard his voice from behind me. It was Cassian looking at me wearing nothing but his briefs.
I could see the smirk on his face.
I knew what that look meant. I could see beyond that smirk was something far more sinister than I could imagine.
"Cassian, focus on work on your office on the upper floor and let me go. I've had enough"
I said in a bid to distract him
But I noticed his presence loomed throughout the space through the subtle echo of footsteps he made.
I could see occasional shadows across the hallway. I wondered who they were?
Looking at him with frustration in my head, I attempt to piece together the meaning behind the file and why my discovery matters so much to Cassian.
That was when I realized that someone intentionally concealed the information.
Cassian still stood there across the room as I was stuck in my mind.
organizing my thoughts. Cassian draws out a whip.
And then I noticed an entire kit of materials for torture was dropped on the table.
"Cassian what is this?"
