Billionaire's Hidden Legacy

Aurora had not closed her eyes for more than ten minutes when the door to her bedroom suddenly slammed open, the noise reverberated through the air.

It immediately made her jerked her eyes open in a sudden flight.

Standing by the door, capturing her now uneasy stare with his taunting eyes brooding anger was Maverick; his muscles in his jaw was clenching and unclenching in anger.

He walked towards her like a predator seeking to devour his prey - slow yet dangerous, calm yet burning with anger.

"How dare you?!" he growled, rage dancing in his eyes.

She stared at him, her tongued tied. The sudden courage she had when she rejected his offer to join him in the dinning table had disappeared.

"Answer me!" he commanded in his baritone voice.

"I don't want to eat with with you!"

Maverick yelled back, a tiny flame of bravery sparking within her.

"What?" Maverick asked somewhat amused by her tone of voice.

Aurora's eyes widened as she realized her mistake. She trembled, her heart racing with fear. Had she really just defied Maverick?

"I'm... sorry...I just want..."

Before she could finish her statement, Maverick suddenly leaned in closer and gripped her legs, dragging her fiercely towards the edge of the bed.

"Mr. Alex!" she screamed as panic surged like waves within her.

She tried to release her legs from his grip, but it was futile. He tossed her out of the bed onto the ground, his nostrils flaring and jaw tensed.

"Ouch!" she whimpered as she fell with a loud thump on the ground.

Aurora stared with fear in her eyes as Maverick progressed towards her, giving her a slithering look.

"Mr. Alex, I'm sorry... please stop," she cried out in apprehension.

He immediately lunched for her, dragging her by the arms outside the room. Her skin bruised against the floor as she wailed in absolute terror and fright.

"What are you doing, Mr. Alex?" she sobbed, her voice trembling as an overwhelming anxiety seized her entire being.

"Teaching you a lesson," He scoffed back at her as she dragged her through the halls of the mansion.

She thrashed about and pleaded, trying to free her hands from his iron grip but it was a futile attempt. Instead his grip became more tighter, it felt like he could pierce through her skin. His grip was searing hot.

"Mr. Alex, please," Aurora pleaded, her voice hoarse and resounding within the walls of the mansion. He kept on dragging her to God knows where, her skin getting black and blue marks.

They stopped in front of a black door, and he pushed it open, shoving her inside with his foot. The door slammed shut behind her.

Aurora's skin at that moment was covered with bruises and cuts. She felt so numb and her body ached.

Tears stained her cheeks and she sniffed her nose, waiting for his next move.

What would he do to her?

This room was basically empty apart from a mattress, a wooden table that had two spherical holes of equal sizes and an angry red bulb illuminating the entire room giving off a bloody look.

She was once again doused in fear and trepidation as her eyes roved around.

"Get yourself naked!" Maverick's voice boomed.

Aurora stared at him, her eyes wide with shock, confusion, and utter dismay. She was dumbfounded, paralyzed by the outrageous request.

A painful memory from years ago resurfaced, and now he was demanding she bare herself to him once more.

Aurora took a quick glance round the entire room. They were alone just like before, but this time they were in a more compromising situation.

He definitely wouldn't do anything like that again, would he?

She immediately shook her head, trying to dispel the thoughts.

"Aurora Harrison, I have no patience!"

His use of her full name sent a shiver down her spine - it was a warning sign.

Was his anger really just because she rejected dinner? Or was there something more sinister brewing? Heaven only knew what the beast had in store for her.

Aurora hesitantly pulled off her clothes, her skins completely bare and naked in front of him. Suddenly she felt extremely chilly. The air in the room suddenly felt too tight for her to breathe in.

Aurora made an attempt to cover her chest with her hands but he yanked them off fiercely.

"On your knees now! Get on your fucking knees and put your two hands in those hoes!" Maverick said authoritatively.

Aurora shuddered at his vile tone. This man was cold. He was a beast. Who would do this to a woman?

She's a human being too.

She regretted her boldness in talking back.

Aurora slowly did as he told her and put her two hands in each hole carved in the table.

She watched in horror as he opened a cupboard, and her breath caught in her throat when she saw what he pulled out: a pair of handcuffs.

"Mr...Mr.Alex, what...are..what are you.." Cheng Mengying stuttered, unable to bring out the words from her mouth.

"I don't want to hear anything from you!" he snapped, his voice cutting through the air.

He swiftly closed the distance between them. Crouching down, he handcuffed her hands together, the metal clicking into place.

With terrified eyes, she watched him unbuckle his belt. "Mr. Alex, what are you doing!" she screamed.
