"My child?" Arius tilted his head in confusion but didn't lose his smile.

"Yes Arius. I gave birth three months ago." Macy replied, "You suddenly stopped meeting me, I had no option but to come and meet you but your butler has been really annoying. He just wouldn't let me see you." Macy seemed dead serious

"Macy," Arius started, "I seriously doubt you have my child-" Macy brought up her hand to stop him and then gestured a female sitting there at the benches to come over.

The tall lady with pixie haircut came towards us, a baby in her arms. She stopped in front of us and the baby looked at us, "Tell me if you still doubt it."

Arius's smile faded as the blonde baby boy looked at him with his honey colored eyes. I'm not going to lie. He was adorable and honestly I would think that if this was a normal situation but no, not at this moment.

Something was burning inside of me.

"Macy…" First time I've seen Arius this confused, "You- Why didn't you tell me when you were pregnant?!"

"Is it my fault that your butler didn't let me contact you?" She began to take something out from her purse

"W-wait!" He looked at the baby as Macy pulled out some paper and showed it to Arius.

"This is the paternity test. He's yours."

"Wow!" I said, "Congratulations Arius!" He looked at me, "You're a father!" I saw his pupils shake. I smiled, "How about you stay here with YOUR son? I have a flight to catch." I turned to leave.

Great.

Just great!

"Azalea!" I didn't stop and he turned to Macy, "Can I hold the baby?"

"Of course." Macy happily handed him the baby, "His name is Lucas." I gritted my teeth as I glanced at them.

Fuming, I left the lobby and went further in.

A child?

I scoffed.

Well the way he sleeps with women, it shouldn't be shocking that one of them has his child.

I chewed my lower lip in anger.

Now what?

I wanted him…

"Why are you on this flight?" I asked while sitting on my seat in the first class compartment, Arius in the seat in front of me, "Shouldn't you be celebrating? You're a dad."

He didn't answer me, just turned his head to the side, totally ignoring me.

"Daddy?" I said, "You're not gonna answer me?" He gritted his teeth, "Daddy?"

"Don't!" He spoke up, "Don't get on my nerves right now." He didn't raise his voice but it felt like he was taking his anger out on me.

"Fine!!" I yelled at him and he looked at me perplexed, sighed but didn't say anything.

The whole journey was an awkward one with neither of us talking to each other. We just gave each other weird glances.

Upon arriving in Paris Arius took me to the hotel and handed me the room key after checking us both in different rooms right next to each other, then he went somewhere without sparing me the details.

I sighed as I roamed around the place in defeat. This was supposed to be an exciting tour but it turned so sour.

Just when I was about to really give up and go to my room at night I heard someone call me. I never would have expected to meet him here.

"Azalea?" I turned to see a familiar guy walking towards me. A bright smile on his face as he waved at me, "It is you!"

I looked at him wide-eyed, "Jason!" Talk about weird timing. Out of all the places and timing I met my high school boyfriend here, in Paris.

He stood in front of me as I stood in the corridor, "Where have you been for the past two years? No one was able to get in contact with you!"

"I-uh- I got a pretty busy job."

He raised his brows at me, "Really now? Is that why you're here?" I nodded, "And what exactly are you doing?"

"I'm a bodyguard." I smirked.

"Whhhaaatt?" He chuckled, "No way."

"Yes way."

"Does that mean you have no time to hang out with me?" He was anticipating my answer.

"I-uh. I can. I mean we're not on bad terms even though we broke up at the end of high-school." We actually had a mutual agreement to end things. Neither one of us was really in love, we were just going with the norm of everyone dating.

He seemed ashamed, "That's my fault." He pursed his lips, "I wanted to get back with you but you suddenly disappeared." He looked at me, most likely hoping for an explanation.

"I had my reasons." Yeah, I was fucking kidnapped and went through some hellish training.

He nodded his head, "I'm hoping you're still single?" He showed me an awkward smile and I chuckled. He was trying to hit on me.

I really wonder though, now that we're older would things be different?

"Jason?"

"Yea?"

"Do you know the best way to tell if you're gonna click with someone?"

"Like as a couple?" He scratched the side of his neck softly, "What?"

"A kiss." I grinned, "Kiss me and I'll tell you if I have the time to hang out with you."

He smirked, then chuckled, "You have gotten so much bolder." He stepped forward, moving his face closer to mine as I steadied myself against the wall.

He planted his lips onto mine softly as he placed his hand on the wall next to my head.

I returned the kiss and it began to heat up as we began exploring each others mouth.I wrapped my arms around his neck as we sped up.

At moments like these you can't really think about anything else but something was tingling me.

I felt an ominous aura pricking me and I opened my eyes to see the surroundings.

I gasped and broke the kiss in panic as soon as I saw the source of that murderous aura. I pushed Jason back and looked at Arius who stood there in the hallway, a few steps away.

"A-arius!" I was still panting due to the kiss. Jason looked at me, then at Arius while Arius looked back at both of us with a menacing smile that kept cracking.

"I'm going to guess this's your boss." Jason whispered.

"Yes." I whispered back.

Arius walked towards us, "I don't believe this is why I brought you along with me." It wasn't just me or Jason. The people passing through the hallway could feel the dark ambience around Arius too.

"Ah. Meet you later?" Jason whispered as he stepped back.

"I don't think so Jason." I replied as Arius reached me. He didn't say anything, just grabbed my wrist and pulled me along with him to the room. He roughly threw me on the bed.

"Hey!"

"What?" The words seemed too heavy so I shut up, "Who was that?"

"He was my high-school boyfriend." I looked down.

"Was." Arius began to take off his belt, "That means he's your ex." He slid the belt out and looked at me, then came closer. Not knowing what he was planning I backed away till I hit the bed railing, "Care to explain why you were hooking up with an ex?"

I averted my eyes, "I- we were just- hey! What are you doing?" He tied my wrist with his belt and fastened it with the railing above me head.

"You were just?" He stared at me seriously.

"Just…" I gulped. Why is he doing this? 'Just checking if we clicked."

"So, did you?" He opened his shirt's wrist buttons, then folded the sleeves up a bit.

"I don't know?"

"Hmmm." He made an unamused face, "Wasn't he good?"

"Ah…" I'm assuming he's talking about the kiss, "He was."

He smirked, "Better than me?"

I think my pupils are shaking, "I don't...know." I averted my gaze, "It's not like we've kissed like lovers or to see if we'd make a good couple." I know we've kissed before but I just don't him to win here.

"Is that so?" He thought about it, "I guess that's not a bad idea."

What?

He moved in closer and placed his hand on my cheek, his warm breath on my skin tickled.

He made me look at him then kissed me. I can't lie, his kisses were always different because he's experienced. He knows how to make a woman melt, the desire in it made me shiver. As he ran his hands down on my bare-skin under my shirt I wanted to touch him but my hands were tied.

I tried rattling the grill but to no avail. Arius didn't stop, he didn't bother at all and continued kissing me. His kiss had turned so rough and sped up so much it was hard to catch on.

I was falling in a state of desperation. I wanted to touch him so bad but I couldn't, I wanted to breathe but he didn't allow that. There was this tingling feeling all over my body and somehow it was turning me on too.

In the heat of the moment and desperation tears started to form in my eyes. I tried breaking off the kiss, "Ari-!" He didn't listen and continued.

It was so frustrating that he was making me into a mess like this that tears finally rolled down my cheeks.

He broke off the kiss, with heavy breaths he looked at my face which was most likely a mess.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Open this." I demanded and rattled the railing.

He stood up from the bed, "No." My eyes went wide from his answer, "Consider this your punishment."

"Punishment…?"

"That's right. It seems you forgot you belong to me." He tapped my collar, "You should be glad I stopped here or,"

"Or what?"

"Or, there was much more I wanted to do. I wanted to punish you way more " He stood by the bedside and bent over to whisper, "After seeing you in this state, I wanted to rip these clothes off of you and make you an even worse mess." I got goosebumps all over my body. My body clearly wanted what he had whispered to me.

He stepped back, "I'll open it in the morning." He turned, "Tonight you're staying like this."

He left the room leaving me there in a state I couldn't even describe.
