"Well I finally get to meet the lady who's turned every head at the ball, I am Juan" he holds his hand out for me to place mine.

I look at Aaron not knowing what to do, he nods at me so I give my hand to Juan. He places a sloppy kiss on the back, I give him a small smile masking the disgust of his wet lips touching me.

"She is a beauty isn't she Aaron" he winks at me.

I feel sick.

"Well when you're the most powerful empire around you have to have the arm candy to match am I right?" Aaron's voice holds no humour but Juan laughs anyways.

"Just arm candy you say? So you wouldn't mind me taking her off your hands." He takes a step closer to me but Aaron steps between us keeping him back.

"Now now Juan, don't be a fool. Everyone knows I don't share. If you want her for an event you can do what I done and pay her." My stomach drops. I could take the arm candy but calling me an escort is too far.

Is that what he really thinks of me? I'm just something to flash off?

I don't bother to react or speak since he already told me not to around Juan. Instead I continue to smile and play dumb.

"Where are you from Angel?" Juan asks. I look at Aaron for direction since he told me not to speak to him.

"She's from England" Aaron replies for me.

"She can speak for herself Aaron" Juan growls.

"You know that's not how it works around here." Aaron's tone is cooler than Juan's, more intimidating. Even I can tell it's a threat for him to back down and leave me alone.

Juan takes the hint holding his hands up and taking a step back. "Clearly you haven't fucked her yet, possessive doesn't look good on you.."

"Clearly you are too wrapped up in women. Maybe if you were as focused on your empire as you are on the woman I brought to the gala, you'd be the most powerful man known underground." Aaron replies before grinning at him "I'll see you around Juan, we have some business to talk about."

With that he grabs my arm and begins to walk away, I give Juan a small smile before I'm pulled with him.

"Why did you tell him you paid me to be here? Why are you making out I'm an escort. Is that what you think of me?" I wouldn't have came if I knew that's how he felt.

He stops letting go of my arm and grabbing onto my waist "Princess, I know you're a smart girl so use your head. Why would I let anyone know you mean something to me? Why would I allow them to know you're my obsession if they found out they'd exploit it and use it against me because it is my only weakness. If they find out what you truly mean to me they will either kidnap or kill you to get to me and I can't let anything happen to you."

His words are spinning around in my head.
You mean something to me.
You're my obsession.
What you truly mean to me.
I can't let anything happen to you.

I don't understand what all of this means or why there are butterflies in my stomach.

I don't understand why he cares about my so much, I'm just a normal girl from london who wanted to get away from her parents. Looking around this room there are beautiful women, he could have any but he wants me, I don't understand.

"I hope you know I'm not obsessed with you" i swat his hand off of my waist.
"Just wait princess, just wait." He grins "now go sit over at the bar whilst I speak to some men about business. Do not move from the seat so I can see you."
