1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,360 You requested to see me? I say, stumbling into the dimly lit room. I have no idea why this man 2 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:14,640 hates any form of light. It's as if he's a damn bat. Because why are all his offices so grim and 3 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:22,400 dark? I adjust myself and stand straight, feigning ignorance. I know the exact reason why I was 4 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:28,400 tossed into this room. But it's more entertaining to play coy. There comes a time when you have to 5 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:34,400 take drastic measures to get what you want in life. Some may say that I'm foolish for doing what I did. 6 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:41,200 But when it comes to matters of the heart, you should never leave a stone unturned. Not once 7 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,480 had I ever thought that I would fall for the person who took my father's life and changed my entire 8 00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:55,040 future. But I did. Somehow I foolishly did. Mathias Ford is what everyone would call psychotic and 9 00:00:55,040 --> 00:01:00,080 dangerous. If you've ever dealt with or been under his radar, you'll know he is chaotic. 10 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,800 I can't begin to think how many bodies he has on him. Honestly, I think he's a psychopath. 11 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:12,880 But one thing about Mathias is that he always protects me from the gore and graphic violence 12 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,640 he carries out. I think it's a way of shielding me and covering his ass so that I don't talk about it. 13 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:25,760 And it's probably a good thing. You see, when I was 10 years old, my mother died of an overdose. 14 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,400 It could have been prevented if my father hadn't given her the drugs. 15 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,560 I like saying that my dad killed my mother, but others would say she was just a druggy. 16 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,920 My mother hadn't always been like that. She'd been a good one. But my father always wanted control. 17 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,800 He'd gotten her hooked on drugs and dependent on him. He would usually come home late at night 18 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,880 and start beating on her to the point that she needed something to numb her pain. 19 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,600 It started with something innocent, like a painkiller. Then it switched to stuff from the streets. 20 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,840 I would sit in a corner and watch the two of them go at it, leaving me without food and water 21 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,120 because getting high was more important than raising a child. The night my mother died, 22 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:18,480 I remember dad coming home fuming. He'd knocked things over and trashed the place saying how his 23 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:24,320 boss was an asshole. And instead of listening to him, mom kept asking if he'd brought home 24 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:32,320 any more of the good stuff. Dad had slapped and punched her, calling her useless. And even after 25 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:39,120 all of that, mom still asked him for a hit. He'd gotten so angry that he gave her the entire bag 26 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:46,240 of drugs, not caring what she did with it. Mom disappeared upstairs, and by morning, she was dead. 27 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:54,400 As time passed, I got wiser. I knew when to approach dad and when to stay away. However, 28 00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:01,440 as the years rolled by, I realized dad had way more money than he used to. I knew he'd been 29 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:06,400 into illegal stuff. But the kind of money he brought home was way more than usual. 30 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,680 Then suddenly he'd become secretive and paranoid, checking the door locks an unhealthy amount of 31 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:19,520 times. Every passing day he got more irritable. He'd even stop leaving the house. I didn't care 32 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:25,840 much then because I was 17 and a year short of graduation. I'd had my problems at school to 33 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:32,720 think about. Then one day I came home to an empty house. It was just me and the four walls for two 34 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,760 days. I didn't think anything of it because dad used to disappear for days and return like it was 35 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:44,160 nothing. Usually I would read a book or take in some music, but somehow that day I'd turned on the 36 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:50,640 TV. To my dismay, my father's face was planted on the television screen on a news channel. 37 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:56,560 His head was found in the city's river canal. There was no sign of his body, just his head. 38 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,960 I didn't cry. I didn't even think anything of it because somehow I felt free. I'd gone to bed 39 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,880 and slept like a baby. But when I woke up the next morning, three men dressed in black were sitting 40 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:16,240 in my living room. My bastard of a dad had sold me to his debtor. According to the papers in 41 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:23,360 Matthias's hand, he was my godfather and new guardian. According to Matthias, my father owed 42 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:28,720 him a great amount of money and I was to pay for them. He'd also confessed to killing my father 43 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,480 and said that I would suffer the same faith if I decided to run. I didn't know what to think or 44 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:40,560 feel at the time because I was numb. I gave in without a fight and let this man take me. 45 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:47,440 Matthias was 31 at the time and had just taken over from his father, a major drug kingpin. 46 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:53,600 I thought I was being taken to a whorehouse or some hideaway shack, but Matthias brought me to a mansion, 47 00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:01,440 a three-story mansion with pools, servants, and everything beyond my imagination. This man was 48 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:08,160 dangerous, yet I felt as if I had struck gold that my father had finally done something good in my 49 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,280 life. Despite him not hurting a hair on my body over the past month of being with him, 50 00:05:13,280 --> 00:05:18,960 I soon learned how ruthless he was. I'd gotten home from school with bruises on my arms. 51 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,760 There had always been bruises but just not as blatant as the one I'd come home with. 52 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:29,280 The maid was mortified by the bluish purple mark and even though I told her it was nothing, 53 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:36,800 she'd somehow told Matthias. I don't know what Matthias did, but two days later the bully 54 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:43,360 approached me, pissed. Even his father accosted me after school telling me how much of a low life 55 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,920 I was, and my father was a loser. I already knew that. But for them to remind me of how much a 56 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:57,280 scum he was, was uncalled for. My father did a lot of people in injustice, but why did I have to 57 00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:03,600 pay for that? I avoided school for two days, and somehow Matthias had found me a little bit 58 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,840 more tired. Matthias demanded that I go to school the next day, and when I returned with a bigger 59 00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:15,040 bruise, he told me that I needed to stand up for myself. How could I? I was thin, underweight, 60 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:22,800 and had no fighting skills. But that night, I couldn't sleep. I woke up in a sweat and out of breath. 61 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,680 I'd forgotten my bedside water so I went downstairs for a glass of water. 62 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:40,640 I was returning to my room when I heard weird noises from the basement door. It's normally locked, 63 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:45,680 because Matthias would be doing work down there, but it slid open when I leaned in to listen. 64 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:52,880 I'd never been down there, but there was this urge to see. I knew Matthias would be angry, 65 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:59,760 but I still descended the stairs. Moans, groans, and guttural sounds filled the narrow walkway. 66 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,240 I met at the bottom of the stairway and saw the backs of five men. 67 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:11,840 All were giving Matthias their attention. No one saw or even heard me come in. The basement was 68 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:17,840 dark, but there was enough lighting to see everyone's face, including the man dangling from the ceiling. 69 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:24,720 I had to stifle a gasp when I saw the battered and bruised man. It had been my bully's father. 70 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:31,120 Matthias stood in front of him while he pleaded for his life. I didn't think it could have gotten 71 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:37,120 worse from what I'd seen until Matthias snatched the man's neck and squeezed. I watched in horror 72 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:42,800 as the man kicked and wiggled for his life. But what was worse was that Matthias' eyes 73 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:49,360 had locked onto mine during the man's last breath. He knew. He knew I was watching. 74 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:55,360 Matthias freed the man, letting his lifeless body fall to the floor with a loud thud. 75 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,840 Then he'd walked over to me. I will never forget his words as he touched my chin and tilted my 76 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:08,640 head up. Now the both of you are fatherless. Maybe you two can bond. Wouldn't that be nice? 77 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:17,200 It was a sick thing to say, but when he touched me for the first time, I felt seen. I felt safe. 78 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:24,400 Safe knowing that even though he despised me, he would always take care of me. Well, at least 79 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:30,080 protect me. I stayed way longer than I should have in that basement, because soon after, 80 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:36,000 Matthias grabbed an axe from the shelf and began hacking the man into pieces. Blood splattered 81 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:44,160 all over him and about the room. I ran. I ran and never looked back. That event had been the only 82 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:50,080 malicious act I'd ever seen him commit. And to this day, I'm grateful for him shielding me from 83 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:57,680 his misdeeds. Matthias is a real life psychopath, and there's no changing that, which brings me 84 00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,920 back to my sickly affection for him. I say it sickly because anyone looking in would say that 85 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:13,200 this is all wrong and that I'm a victim. But truthfully, I want this. I want him. I'm obsessed 86 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:19,280 with how he handles me, how he watches my every move and makes sure that I'm safe. But I can't 87 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:28,720 have him. Well, at least not now. Matthias Ford has been avoiding me by all means. He moves as if 88 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:35,680 he's allergic to me. And I get it. When the innocent little girl you abducted and held hostage 89 00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:40,480 turns into a fully grown woman who adores you, you make yourself unavailable. 90 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:47,920 Matthias knows that I'm fond of him. He very well knows. And despite my many attempts to make him 91 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:55,200 want me, he keeps me at arm's length. But not today. Today I've got his full attention, 92 00:09:55,200 --> 00:10:01,120 and I plan on using every bit of it. Hours after handing in my resignation and a statement that 93 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,720 I quit my job, I was nabbed outside my favorite cafe and stuffed into a black tinted van. 94 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:13,040 At first, I was mortified, thinking that Matthias' crimes had finally caught up with me. 95 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,760 But moments later when they removed the black bag from over my head, I realized it was his men. 96 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:25,840 They'd handle me like garbage. And knowing Matthias, he probably told them to rough me up because of 97 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:32,080 what I did. The only way I could have gotten Matthias' attention was to do something ridiculously 98 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:39,520 extreme. Like quitting my job. This man watches me like a hawk, but avoids me like the plague. 99 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:46,080 The last time I'd seen him in flesh and blood was at my graduation, which had been eight months ago. 100 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:52,000 Our interaction was brief, a simple nod, an expression of gratitude, and then he gifted 101 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,240 me a brand new car. Matthias has always been distant in my life, but I'd made it worse in 102 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:04,000 college. I always had a security detail at university, but no one knew because they looked 103 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:10,720 like a regular colleague. One night I'd gotten home from a college party. It was my second year, 104 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:17,920 and I was pretty much into everything. I felt safe knowing that Cameron was my protector. However, 105 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:24,640 when I'd returned from the party earlier than my roommate, Danica, I found her ex lying on my bed. 106 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:31,440 She had carelessly given him a key and never took it back or had forgotten to. I knew West, 107 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:38,240 and he didn't play nice. He was a creep. And for him to let himself in and pose on my bed naked, 108 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:44,000 I knew I was in for some trouble. Cameron had long gone and hadn't checked my room because for 109 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:51,520 months, I'd convinced him not to. But before West could launch at me, Cameron had burst into my room 110 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:58,400 and floored him. After the ordeal, I spent the entire night looking for cameras. There was no way 111 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:04,800 Cameron would have known that West was in my room if he hadn't been alerted. I found three. When I 112 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:10,720 confronted Cameron after class, he confessed that Matthias had control of them and had told him 113 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:17,840 about West. A week later, Danica moved out of the dorm. I knew Matthias had something to do with it, 114 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:30,560 but I didn't complain. Danica was messy and played with my safety. Also, I had plans. Finding out that 115 00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:38,960 Josiah on me changed the game. He cared. Well, at least to some point. And it made me wonder how 116 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:46,320 much he'd seen. Did he see when I invited the guy over and had sex? Did he know it was my first time? 117 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:53,280 He must have known because I never saw the guy on campus again. Either he's dead or reassigned to 118 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:59,360 another school. With Matthias knowing my every move, I made subtle changes to my dorm. 119 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:06,240 Then I stopped getting dressed in the shower. It was sick, but somehow I felt compelled to tease him, 120 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:12,640 play games with him, and poke the bear. There I was, undressing and strutting about naked in 121 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:18,080 my room thinking he'd been watching. I'd even pleasure myself thinking my fingers were him. 122 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,920 I'd even gone as far as inviting a guy over and calling Matthias' name while we fucked. 123 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:30,800 The sex ended abruptly, but I'd gotten my message across. I'd become obsessed with Matthias, obsessed 124 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:36,400 to the point that I followed through with all his plans for me. I'd gotten my degree in finance 125 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:43,680 and scored a job as the CFO of a major company. One he had shares in. One he'd planned on laundering 126 00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:50,480 money through and using me as the brain of it all. However, despite my many attempts to secure a meet 127 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:57,600 up with Matthias, he refused. If he'd been watching the videos of me in college, I would understand 128 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:04,400 why. But if he hadn't been, then why not? I'd done everything he'd asked, and the least he could 129 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:11,520 have done was entertain my request. But he didn't. So I am convinced that he'd been watching me. 130 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:19,280 Last week was the last straw. I'd sent him a note saying we needed to talk over dinner, 131 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:28,000 and he left me to eat alone. He never showed. So, in rebellion, I quit my job. And now, 132 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,760 I'm standing in his office, with his full attention. See how easy that was? 133 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:41,920 Well, I say when he doesn't respond. Instead, he leans back into his chair and leers at me. 134 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:48,480 Matthias reaches into his drawer and then slaps a gun on the table. I give him a bored expression. 135 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:57,120 Are you going to shoot me? This man hasn't aged one bit. He has gotten finer with age, 136 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:05,360 38 years of pure man. Do you want to be shot? He finally says. If you're not going to shoot me, 137 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,920 then why pull out the gun? He lifts it and swings it around his index finger. 138 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:18,000 It's my favorite. How nice. I say sarcastically. Now why did you kidnap me and bring me here? 139 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:24,800 Matthias stands, leaving the gun on the table. And when he approaches me, I feel like I can no 140 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:32,960 longer breathe. I forgot how tall this man was. He has gotten bigger, more muscle, more swag, more 141 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:41,840 beard. God. I can feel my panties soaking beneath me by just watching him. But I stand my ground. 142 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:49,120 He reaches for my neck. Did you forget your place? I lift my chin with indignation. 143 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:57,600 I own you. You are indebted to me. I did everything you asked. He gives me a slight squeeze and I 144 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:06,480 know it will leave a mark. Matthias laughs. Do you like vexing me? The scent of his musk mixed 145 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:13,120 with cigars is enlightening and him clutching my throat like this is. I give him a half smile. 146 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:20,480 I try speaking and he squeezes harder. His eye is growing dark. I forgot how much he likes this. 147 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:28,000 How much he loves to torture. He squeezes my neck harder, then releases me quickly when I start to 148 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:36,720 sputter and cough. Do you... I cough again. Do you like ignoring me? I don't play games, 149 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:43,200 Katia. Now why the fuck would you quit your job? I clear my throat again, rubbing my neck. 150 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,200 Because the only way to get your attention is to fuck up what you love. Your money. 151 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:55,600 Bitch, I will kill you here. I lift my chin. Then do it.
