" Are you Alaric?" One of the men said after coming up to him.

" What can I help you with?" He looked at the men who seemed ready to fight.

" Our madam sent us, you are to come with us."

Okay, Alaric though from their tone they probably put the madam on a high pedestal.

" And who is this madam of yours?"

"She shall introduce herself after meeting her."

Alaric chuckled and stood up. He was planning on humouring them. He didn't have anything to do anyway.

" Okay ."

They nodded and turned around like a unit. Alaric followed behind them curious on who this madam was. They opened the car door for him and he settled inside ready for whatever was to come.

Alaric watched as the huge gates were buzzed open and they drove for a while before a huge mansion came into view . It was twice as big as the brothels and Alaric could already guess the status of the madam.

The car pulled up to a huge fountain and came to a stop. The door was opened and Alaric got out of the car looking around curiously.

The mansion loomed over the huge garden filled with roses. Ivy climbed up the mansion walls their flowers gleaming in the sun.

The place just screamed old money.

" Please sir," an older man who looked like your typical butler came to him gesturing to the door where maids stood two on each side of the door.

They all had their heads bowed and didn't even lift their heads when they passed by.

The butler took him down a small hallway that had small paintings and antiques that probably cost more than his brothel. He was brought to the living room and turned to him.

" What would you like to drink?" He asked when Alaric sat on the very comfortable couches.

" Anything is fine."

" Okay, the madam will be informed of your arrival. "

Alaric nodded and the butler bowed before leaving.

Alaric just wondered who this madam was, she was freaking loaded. Footsteps came again a few minutes later. Alaric turned expecting the madam but it was just the butler with his drinks.

The woman was sure taking her time.

" Is she really coming?" He couldn't help but ask.

" I didn't know you were this impatient," a female voice sounded above him.

He looked up to see a very beautiful woman looking down at him from the first floor. She had grey eyes and curly blue flowing hair that hung in the air since she was leaning on the railing.

He chuckled.

" I just found that out now."

The butler bowed and disappeared out of the room . Alaric watched as the Woman walked to the stairs and sauntered down her curves fully wrapped in the black business suit she was wearing.

She came and sat opposite him putting one leg on top of the other.

" Do you know what I called you here for?" She asked him leaning forward her cleavage becoming more visible.

" Why don't you tell me, you called me here," he said leaning back.

The woman chuckled her eyes watching him in amusement.

" You really don't recognize me?" She asked.

" No, ma'am I've never seen you in my entire life."

" You can call me Annabelle," she said then continued, " you killed my favorite husband."

Alaric was surprised by the bomb she dropped nonchalantly . Alaric sat upright. He could come up with anyone he had killed. Then it came to him Wayans.

" You're Annabelle Wayans?" He asked quietly.

" Of course."

" Ma'am I do not know what you're talking about . "

Did she expect him to just confess or something. He thought she would n't care about her husband's death since she changes husbands like clothes but maybe she really liked him.

" I have a tracker on his phone, it never left the brothel. "

Alaric heart skipped a little before it settled down.

" Most guests tend to leave items behind and we always keep them in a safe place if they come back for it," he leaned forward, " we might have one of his belongings in our possession but we are not sure, I'll personally check. "

She chuckled her eyes narrowing.

" I don't really care about that, I would have killed him myself after he came back, " she said.

" That's cold. "

" Not at all, if you invest in someone but the results are not satisfactory you throw it away, or destroy it , or mold it according to the damage it has sustained.

Alaric nodded alongside her. From the looks of it she treated people like toys, especially men. From the looks of it her eyes were set on him.

" Would you like to marry me, I can give you everything you want as long as you are faithful and quiet your work, " she said confidently.

From the way she looked down at him Alaric could already see what she thought of him. She was confident he was going to fall right into her palms.

" I would love to remain uncommitted," he said softly running a hand through his hair.

Her face scrunched up in what looked like wounded pride and disgust.

" I have offered you what every man would dream of but you rejected me, " she said her eyes getting red.

From the looks of she was used to getting her way and him not bending to her will was making her angry.

" But I don't dream about that, I have enough already."

She laughed a humorless laugh.

" How insolent. No one rejects me."

" I'm not in the mood of Joining the group of broken men you seem to leave behind, " Alaric said. He had seen on the internet what most of her ex-husband had become.

If not crippled, they were either dead or had a defect somewhere. She seems to be going after low level awakeners or just those that seemed weak.

She probably assumed because he works in a brothel, he would be an easy target. If he had been a D rank it would have been harder but right now he wasn't scared of her at all.

" Ha, so you did your research.?"

" Yes, and I'm too valuable to be tied down, " he said and added," not in this life at least."

She stood up and walked towards him her heels clinking on the ground. Alaric could feel himself start to get a little hot.

" But you don't have a choice," she said softly and touched his ear.

" Did you forget I'm a prostitute, an aphrodisiac wouldn't do anything to me," he said and pushed her away from him. She stumbled back her eyes widening in shock. She had clearly done this before and had not expected him to react that way.

Alaric could feel the aphrodisiac moving inside his body but it wasn't bad enough. It was more of a tickle since it made his body hot a little.

" How?"

"I'm leaving and don't ever look for me again," he said his voice cold. He stood and headed for the door.

" Stop right there!" She shouted loudly at him, voice shrill.

Alaric didn't look at her. The front door burst open and a dozen tall men walked in.

" The madam told you to stop."

Alaric felt like things were about to get out of hand. He stopped walking and turned to her.

" Do you want a fight?"

Alaric summoned his whip.

" I just need you to marry me.".

" Ridiculous ," Alaric muttered to himself .

" Attack him, just make sure to break his legs since I want him to still function. "

" Haa, this has gotten out of control. "

He flicked his whip forward sweeping across the guards who had stepped forward. He didn't want to kill them but incapacitating them won't be hard.

One shot a bullet at him he dodged rolling on the ground and wrapped his whip around the man's hand and pulled slamming him on the floor. He could hear his bones crack.

He kicked the one who had come near him on the stomach sending flying back and hitting the wall while wrapping the whip on the nearest guard and slamming him down.

A ball of fire was thrown towards him and Alaric dodged it . He attacked the fire user activating the ice from the whip, freezing the man's hand.

There were only two left from all the fighting and Alaric could see they had not attacked him. They were clearly studying his fighting style so that they could attack him.

" Who's next," he said pointing at the two men.

One of them stepped forward and rushed towards him fist raised. Alaric stepped to the side and he hit the wall creating a huge dent.

He held the man's other hand and kneed him in his crotch causing the man to shout and his knees giving away.

Alaric kicked him on his head sending in across the room. He hit the chair before crumbling to the ground.

He turned towards the other one.

The man disappeared and appeared next to him a dagger aimed for his stomach.
