Damian's rose

Chapter 14: 14) Slave.

Authors pov

He knew this night was going to be so hard for him in more ways than one...

They walked outside towards his car and he told jack to come in another car as he wanted to stay

alone with his little bodyguard...

Damian took the keys from jack and gestured rose to sit in the front passenger seat...

He started driving, both of them was quite, Damian glanced at her but she was looking out of the

window staring at the deserted road like they were more interesting than him...

"Who is Jackson?..."

He suddenly asked making their awkward silent ride more awkward...

She looked at him and answered...

"Friend..."

"Just friend ?..."

He asked giving her a quick look... Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

She wanted to reply him that 'it's none of your business' with some sass but controlled herself, she

can't talk to her boss in that tone, she reminds herself that he is Damian and not jack or Jackson...

"Yess... Just friend..."

She replied averting her eyes from his arrogant face to window....

He hummed in response while stopping his car in front of the club, his men who was following him in

other cars along with jack also stopped their cars behind his...

He got out of the car and held his hand for Rose to take, she took his hand and they walked inside,

Damian quickly wrapped his arm around her waist when he got the chance, his other men was

following closely behind him...

They head towards the vip room where all his partners were already waiting for him to arrive, Rose

looked at the room filled with men in black suit, some of them were already smoking and drinking while

some of them were sitting there with girls on their laps like pets...

She ignored the uneasy feeling she got after entering the room...

Everyone stood up when Damian entered the room and greeted him with respect and fear...

He sat on a big leather chair like a king which was more like a throne and Rose was about to sit on the

chair next to him but he caught her wrist and made her sit on his lap, she looked at him confused trying

to get up but he wrapped his one arm around her waist and another one on her bare thighs locking her

in his lap...

"Don't move, stay like this until we finish this deal..."

He ordered her, whispering darkly in her ear while inhaling her divine scent...

She nodded hesitantly and adjusted herself on his lap keeping her hands in her lap...

They started the meeting, talking about the contracts and conditions...

Damian noticed the lustful gaze men threw at Rose and his grip on her thighs slightly tightened

unknowingly, Rose stiffened when the cold metal of his rings touched her bare back, it was very

uncomfortable for her to sit on her boss's lap that too in very short dress, while his addictive manly

cologne was engulfing her senses, she looked at him from the corner of her eyes but he was focused

on the discussion, she composed herself and decided to focus on his surroundings, she saw that other

girls were also sitting on other men laps, some of them were looking happy but some of them were

sitting there scared, Rose noticed some blue and purple marks on their bodies and looked at Damian

confused...

Damian noticed her confused face...

"What happened?..."

He asked while other men were busy in discussions...

"Why are all the girls sitting on men's lap ?"

She asked looking at him, her face was near his cheek, her lips inches away from touching them...

Damian looked at her and realised she definitely had no idea how men treat women in mafia...

"Because they own them..."

He said rubbing his rough thumb on her thigh, feeling her soft skin making her shiver in his hold...

"Own them ? Are they slaves ?..."

She asked curiously...

"Yes, you can say that, some of them are pets, some are submissives and sex slaves... And if they are

sitting on their lap it means they are owned and no one can touch them without the permission of their

respective owners..."

He explained trying to examine her expressions...

"Are they forced into it ?"

She asked ignoring his touch on her skin...

"Yes, not all but some of them..."

He accepted...

"And you support all this things, even if it's wrong, they are using women as an object that too against

their will..."

She asked in a calm voice but inside she was burning in anger...

Damian took in her words, he knew whatever these men are doing is wrong, the woman sitting on their

laps are not happy and they don't even bother to stand for themselves because of fear, he never liked it

that's why he always wanted a strong willed girl for himself who is capable enough to stand against

him...

" No i don't support this but I can't change this either, all these things are happening in mafia for

generations now so it is difficult to change them..."

He said not taking his eyes of her face, her face visibly relaxed when he said that atleast he didn't

support all these things and he noticed it...

This was the first time she talked to Damian this long and he was happy about it otherwise she always

finishes her conversation in short words...

"Why are you so curious about it, it's not like someone can make you his slave..."

He asked curiously...

She looked at him, her expressions turned into cold one...

"I am already a slave..."

She said in her cold voice, diverting her face away from his not bothering to make any kind of eye

contact with him...

Damian frowned when she called herself a slave, he gripped her chin and made her look at him, his

eyes was confused mixed with anger and jaw clenched...

"How can you be a slave ?"

He asked impatiently...

She held his hand which was gripping her jaw and removed it from her face, strange sparks travelled in

both of their body when she held his hand in hers, confusing both of them that is it because they are

doing it for the first time or because they knew that it's rare for them to hold each other's hand, she

quickly removed her hand from his and he instantly missed her warm touch...

"Yes I am... yours for 6 months and after that Renzo's slave..."

She said without reflecting any kind of emotions in her voice as always...

"I never thought of you as my slave and I will never do that... And about Renzo you can always set

yourself free from him, you can fight with him I am sure you are capable enough to do that..."

He said trying to get a reaction from her...

She released a defeated sigh, shaking her head negatively...

"I can't, Renzo is my master, he has trained me... And no matter how much skilled I am I don't stand a

chance against him, I am his student and will always remain a student... I know Renzo very well, I have

observed him since childhood, he is more capable than he shows himself to the people, I am the

strongest from his agency but still I have never won a fight against him, he is scared that one day I will

rebel against him and that's why he always shows me that no matter how much powerful I am I can't

win against him..."

She explained everything to him...

"What will he do to you if you rebel?..."

He asked pulling her closer to his chest...

"If he can't kill me then he will kill people who are close to me, who helped me if not sooner, then later

but he will, he will make sure that I will regret my decision..."

" Is that why you don't get close to anyone or make friends..."

He asked wanting to know more about her situation...

She was about to answer but another manly voice disturbed their conversation, Damian closed his

eyes frustratingly and controlled himself from snapping his neck right at this moment...

"What a beauty you have for yourself Mr. Knight..."

He said eyeing Rose up and down...

"Hii I am Johnathan, and you are love?..."

He said with lust filled voice, gawking more at her exposed legs...

Damian's grip on her tightened and he dragged Rose closer to his chest if it's possible, making her side

face rest on his hard chest... Rose was taken aback by his sudden actions but didn't say anything...

"Mind your own business Johnathan, she is not available..."

Damian roared grabbing everyone's attention...

"Ohh come on, it's common to share your slaves, you can have mine if you want..."

He said shamelessly pointing towards the girl who was sitting on his lap, her eyes watered when she

heard his words...

"I don't share and you are well aware of that so, fuck off..."

He said in threatening voice making everyone gulp in fear, some of them though that Johnathan has

lost his mind to talk to Damian like this and some of them were surprised that he was still sitting their

alive...

Rose saw the fear in people eyes for Damian and realised that Damian is far more dangerous than she

thought he actually is...

But again another thought ran her mind that if he is that powerful then who is trying to harm him,

because men here are too scared to even make an eye contact with him...

Johnathan kept quiet after that but he was still shamelessly gawking at Rose while Damian was busy

talking to other men, she noticed him and felt angry and awkward but just ignored him thinking he can't

do anything because she is sitting on Damian's lap...

Rose saw Damian's tight grip around her and she mentally rolled her eyes at his behavior, she brought

her face close to his ear and whispered...

"I need to use the washroom boss..."

Damian gave her an understanding nod and loosened his grip to let her go out of his possessive hold...

Rose walked out of the room, looking for a washroom, the vip areas were not crowded at all as people

were screaming and jumping in excitement while dancing in other areas of club, she realised that these

Mafia people must have booked all the vip areas...

She found the washroom and did her business, standing in front of mirror she splashed some cold

water on her face, her makeup was waterproof so it wasn't a problem for her...

Picking up some tissues she dabbed her face as to not ruin the makeup and turned around to leave but

suddenly the door opened and she came face to face with Johnathan. He came in and locked the door

behind him which he will realise later that it was his biggest mistake...

He was tall with dirty blonde hair and grey eyes, he was of the same age as Damian...

She stood there looking at him with her straight face but internally she was smirking, she knows why he

is here and she is gonna have fun while teaching him a good lesson, Johnathan has no idea in what

kind of trouble he is putting himself into...

Still she decided to give him another chance to save his ass from unnecessary beating and tried to

walk past him, paying him no attention but he grabbed her arm when she was about to open the door...

"Leave me..."

She turned around and said to him in dangerously calm tone...

"Come on love, no one is here we can spend some quality time you know..."

He said checking her out shamelessly...

Rose snatched her arm from his hold and turned around to leave but this time Johnathan grabbed her

waist from behind, she turned around grabbing his throat and putting slight pressure on pressure

points, She slammed him against the door and tackled him down, his head hit the door hard and then

again on the floor making darkness dance in front his eyes, making a groan of pain left from his mouth,

it happened so quickly that he didn't realised when he ended up on the floor from standing position...

Rose was standing there with a clenched jaw waiting for him to stand up so she can again show him

stars...

"You bitch..."

He stood and pulled out his gun from his waistband. When he was about to shoot her she twisted his

wrist and snatched the gun from his hand within a blink of an eye, she placed his own gun on his

temple and smirked...

"Don't buy toys you don't know how to play with..."

He gulped in fear looking at her calm face and threatening tone...

She punched his nose twice making blood flow like a waterfall, he wiped his nose with the back of his

hand and tried hard to stand on the ground...

He walked towards her to punch but one mawashi-geri landed on him followed by flying roundhouse

kick and Johnathan flew out of the bathroom breaking the door with his heavy weight... and landed

outside of the bathroom on the floor, painful scream left his mouth when he felt some of his ribs got

broken. Rose fixed her dress looking at the mirror and came outside...

Damian and other men came outside running when they heard Johnathan's scream thinking that some

intruders broke in...

All of them surrounded the scene area, 2 other men helped Jonathan to stand on his feet but it was

very painful for him as pain shot in his whole body, he was having difficulty in breathing...

Damian looked at Rose who was standing their. Her expression was exactly like the kid whose mother

caught him red-handed while stealing chocolates. Damian understood that it was Rose's doing and

shook his head looking at the troublemaker...

"What the fuck happened here ?"

Damian's voice boomed in the place making Johnathan shiver in fear...

"She attacked me Mr. Knight"

He said painfully placing his hand on his broken ribs...

Everyone's eyes snapped towards Rose, looking at Johnathan's condition they couldn't believe that

she did this to him, the corner of left eye was turning black and blue, his nose and lips were covered in

blood and he was panting...

"Rose did you do this to him ?"

Damian asked in bossy tone...

"Yes boss, he tried to touch me inappropriately that's why?..."

Rose replied in monotone...

"No, no she is lying, she herself came to me and started flirting with me, I didn't do anything..."

Johnathan quickly defended himself putting all the blame on Rose...

Her words were enough to make Damian's blood boil, he walked towards him gesturing the other two

men who were helping him to stand straight to move aside...

Damian looked at his face with murderous eyes and punched on his already bruised jaw hard making

blood splatter from his mouth with bone cracking voice, Johnathan stumbled back and was about to fall

on the floor but Damian grabbed him by his collar...

"You bastard, when I clearly told you that she is not available then how dare you touch her..."

Every cell in Johnathan's body filled with fear when he realised that his death is standing in front of him,

he knows the consequences of disrespecting Damian and now no one can save him from his wrath...

"Please trust me, she threw herself on me and when I denied she attacked me..."

He again lied...

"You fucking liar..."

Damian punched him in the stomach making him cough blood...

Everyone was standing their silently watching the scene, no one dared to stop Damian as they know

they will only invite their own deaths by doing that...

"Please, why don't you trust me"

He pleaded ...

" Because she will never do that, I trust her..."

Damian spat angrily,

Rose looked at him thinking why Damian took her side instead of his own business partner...

Her eyes diverted from Damian to the girl who was standing in the corner silently crying and shaking in

fear, she was the same girl who was sitting on Johnathan's lap...

Rose quietly walked towards her and gently placed a hand on her shoulder, she was about to scream

but Rose quickly put her hand on her mouth blocking her scream and dragged her in the corner...

"Shhh, I am not going to hurt you, don't scream..."

That girl nodded furiously and Rose removed her hand from her mouth...

She looked at the scared girl and she looked innocent, naive and too young to be in this cruel mafia

world...

"What's your name?"

Rose asked gently as much she can...

"Serenity..."

She replied with trembling lips...

Rose took out 1000$ from her clutch and handed her...

"Take this and get out of here before someone else makes you his slave..."

Serenity looked at her shocked,

"But why are you helping me?"

"We don't have time to discuss that, get out of here now..."

Rose whispered making sure that no one was looking at them...

"Thank you, thank you so much..."

Serenity thanked her again and again gratefully...

"RUN..."

Serenity gave her an innocent warm smile, her eyes shining with hope making Rose's non-existing

heart melt, serenity turned on her heels and started running towards the exit and towards her

freedom...

Rose smiled,

'I know I can't set the whole flock of birds free from the cage, but atleast I can help one of them to

escape from it...'

She felt good when she saw that little girl running towards her freedom...

Rose came back and stood on her previous position like she didn't moved an inch from there...

Damian took out his gun from his waistband and pointed towards Johnathan...

"Please don't kill me, I am sorry, it won't happen again Mr. Knight, please..."

He pleaded but everyone standing there knows that begging won't do anything, Damian is heartless

and he never shows mercy on people who disrespects him...

"I don't like when someone touches what's mine..."

Damian made him kneel in front of him and shot straight in between his eyes...

No one dared to utter a word, two men came and took his deadbody with them...

He put his gun back in its place and looked at rose who was standing there with her usual

expressions...

He grabbed her hand and pulled her closer in a possessive grip, wrapping his hand around her waist

he literally dragged her outside towards his car...

This time Damian told his man to drive the car, and sat with rose on back seat...

Rose didn't say anything, his words were ringing in her mind,

'I don't like when someone touches what's mine...'

"What does he mean by that..."

She thought to herself, staring blankly outside...

Damian looked at her and calmly said...

"How much money did you gave to that girl?"

Her head turned towards him with a lighting speed...

"How do you know ?"

She asked shocked...

He grabbed her arm and pulled her on his lap like she weighed nothing, her face landed on his hard

chest, she placed her hands on his shoulders and adjusted herself on his lap...

He tucked a free strand of hair behind her ear and whispered huskily...

"I told you, you are not the only one who observe things here..."

She gulped nervously when one of his hand rested on her bare back and another one on her thigh

dangerously close to the hem of her short dress...

She tried to get out of his hold but he growled...

"Don't move..."

Her cheeks flushed red when she felt his hardness on the thigh...
