ANNA'S POV

I didn't see Tan after the incident in the club nor did I say anything about Tan and Won to Luca.

I was working at the hotel at 08:00 pm. My mobile started to ring. I saw caller ID but that was a private number. I tapped on the answer button and raised the mobile to my ear.

"Hello?". I said.

" It's me. Tan. Go change and come outside. I'm waiting for you here. You have only 5 minutes". He said, no he ordered coldly.

"But-". I was about to ask 'why' but he hung up.

I immediately turned to look outside through the glass door. He was there on his bike, staring at me.

I don't want to go but I was very scared because of the last incident with him. He knows my address and he even has a gun. I guess he is not a man someone should mess with.

I immediately changed my uniform and went toward Luca. Because he is the only one who can help me, to let me go out during my working hours.

"Luca?". I called him as he was busy arranging tables with other waiters.

"Hey angel, what's it is?". He asked. His body face turned into smiling one as soon as he set his eyes on me.

" Luca, listen I have to go somewhere. Please tell Mr. Gonzalez that I'm going out because I have something urgent ". I informed.

"But where are you going? Is there something wrong?". He asked with crashed eyebrows.

"No, everything is completely fine. I'll tell you when I'll be back. Okay bye". Before he could ask anything further I rushed towards the main door.

I walked toward Tan and stopped two steps away from him. I didn't want to look like I'm scared of him. ' confidence .... confidence '
I said to myself.

I looked him in the eye. "What it is now? I told you whatever I know about Won. So why are you here again. I'm not-". I paused as he suddenly threw a helmet toward me. I unknowingly catched it.

"Wear this and sit". He said with a straight face.

"What?". I asked in shock.

"Don't make me repeat my words. Wear this and sit on my backside". He said in a deep voice more like an order.

"But where are you taking me?". He didn't say anything, just glared at me. I gulped and did what he wanted.

You can call me crazy but I trust him. Last time he placed his gun on my temple but didn't kill me. My heart says even if he is a gangster or something he'll never do something bad to me. I don't know why but I believe in him.

"Hold me tightly". His voice broke the chain of my thoughts.

"huh?" I uttered.

"What did I just say don't make me repeat my words". I didn't have any other choice so I grabbed his jacket tightly. He started the bike and after 15 minutes of the ride, we stopped in front of a luxury shop.

He dragged me inside the shop with him. " Take as many dresses as you want. I'll pay ". He said.

I turned my face towards him in sozzled. " What do you mean by that? You have brought me all the way here only to buy dresses?". I asked frowning.

" Exactly, because I don't think you have enough clothes to cover your body". He snapped at my face with no emotion.

It reminds me of the dress I wore in the club. I know I shouldn't have worn that But what is he have to do with it? Why is he interfering in my personal life?

"How dare you say that? Who are you to tell me what should I wear or not? Don't try to be my dad. And one more thing I don't want anything from you". I snapped back and started to walk towards the exit door. But he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him. My head bumps into his hard chest.

Bending closer to my ear he whispered in it. "If you'll take a single step outside this shop then you will never be going to see Luca again".

My heart skipped a beat. How did he know Luca? Who is he actually? Is he a killer?

I moved away to look at his face he was smirking. Tear filled my eyes. I can't let anything happen to Luca.

I shook my head no repeatedly." No please don't do anything to him. I'll do as you will say". I shuttered. Fear was visible in my voice.

" Good, now wipe those tears and come with me. It doesn't suit you.". He mumbled the last words but I heard them.

He picked up more than thirty to forty dresses and handed me one. "Go try these".

I frown at my brows. "You mean all these?". I pointed my finger at a lot of dresses in my hand. He only nodded.

I tried more than five dresses and got tired. I wore my own dress and came out of changing room. " Don't you like these?". He asked.

"No, it's not like that they all are pretty. I just can't try all these. I'll pick some randomly". I replied.

He looked at me for a second before turning his head towards the shopkeeper. "Excuse me?".

The shopkeeper came, only to get shocked. "Pack all these dresses".

***

Tan was talking to someone on the phone outside while I was sitting on a chair and waiting for the dresses to be packed because there was no other choice.

What is going on inside his head? Why is he doing this to me? Two days back he was about to shoot me and now he is buying literally the whole shop for me. Is this man have any kind of personality disorder or something?

He walked inside and went to the shopkeeper. " Deliver these all dresses at this address before 12. I have to go somewhere". He handed him money and address and took me out with him.

"Listen to me carefully. Be ready at nine in the morning. I'll come to pick you up". He said softly this time.

"Where are we going tomorrow".
I asked.

" Not we, you are ". He replied.

" Me?. where?". I asked confused.

" You are going to give an interview at J.W. Enterprises for the PA position. No more questions now". He said and dropped me back to my apartment.

After an hour a delivery man came and placed all the boxes in my living room.

TAN'S POV

I was in the shop with Anna. I got a call from Aiden that they have brought that drug dealer into my basement. I dropped Anna back home and told her to be ready in the morning.

I reached my mansion. Aiden said that my men tied and tortured that drug dealer so much but he isn't uttering a word. So I and Aiden went to the basement to ask him in my own way.

As I stepped into the basement I saw a boy tired on a chair. He wasn't like I expected him to look. He was looking younger than me maybe two or three years. His eyes were closed, his face was full of buries, and his mouth was bleeding.

I placed my leg on the side of the chair he was tied on and leaned a little. He opened his eyes when he realised my presence." So you are not going to tell us right?". I asked.

"Never ". He smirked.

" Aiden, bring her here ". I said standing straight. Aiden went outside and brought his sister inside. She gasped looking at her brother's vulnerable condition.

She took a step toward him but Aiden grabbed her arm harshly and pulled her back. She froze feeling a hard metal against her temple.

This wasn't her fault she didn't even know anything about her brother's illegal business but he was not helping us, that's why we brought her here.

" LEAVE HER YOU F*CKERS". He shouted.

"Shish. Calm down pretty boy. We don't have anything to do with her. Just answer our questions and she'll be free. It's up to you". I said softly.

" Okay, okay I'll tell you--I'll tell you everything. My name is Mark. Yes I do supply drugs here ". He stuttered.

" Continue". I said.

" I don't know much about this business. I'm not a boss. I only work for a man who lives in England. He exports drugs from there ". He looked at me with pleading eyes.

" What is his name ?". I asked.

" I can't tell you that". He shook his head in no. " He'll kill me".

" I'll kill you first if you will not tell me". I warned.

"Please don't do this to me. He blackmailed me that if I'll not do as he is saying he will kill my family". Tears formed in his eyes and his voice broke in the end.

" Listen to me. Tell me everything about him I'll help you with this. Nothing will happen to your family. I promise". I assured him.

He looked at her sister, who was shocked knowing everything, then he turned his attention towards me and nodded.

"I went to England for a job. I was just a delivery boy in his office for the last two years. But when I came to know about his illegal business I left the job and came back to New York two months ago, back to my family but now he is blackmailing me to supply drugs or else he will kill my family. Because he got a hint that I know about his illegal business. Please help me, sir". His words came out above a whisper when he asked for help.

" I can only help you when you will tell me who is he ". I said.

He hesitated at first but spoke. "His name is James William. I don't know anything about his family I've never met them".

My head snapped towards Aiden whose hand dropped. His expression was the same as mine. 'Shocked'.
