AZERAL POV

Lastly fitting my tie in my collar, I got fully dressed up formally. At first I went to the office. The headquarters are in New York and some other branches and wings of our company are in other states and one of it is in California. For business purposes I had to visit here frequently and now I'll be staying here until a definite time. So, I'll be working here from now.

The atmosphere of the office seemed tensed as my one step inside the office jolted all of the employees with apprehension and restlessness. They knew I'll be here now, that's what frightened them. All of the staffs were so much engrossed and focused on their jobs as if each of them is a workaholic.

After my work was done in the office I decided to go to the hospital now. Azel Hospital is the most renowned and well known private hospital in the entire state of US. This hospital is of our family, my grandfather named it after my name. It has three letters of my first name in it, that my grandfather decided that time and now it is under my control. The other hospital branch is in California here, apart from the wing in New York.

The one who kills, runs an organization of healthcare. It may sound odd but it's all just business. The world knew our family as a renowned, powerful one and again I'm currently the top businessman in US but the world wasn't aware of our undermob nature and they didn't had to know about the mafia world too. My family is engaged in Cosa Nostra from generation to generation and we couldn't put that down. It's our responsibility to handle.

I'm also the CEO of the hospital, the one who takes every single decision. I went to my office room in the hospital and settled on the chair.

I dialed a number and rang it up using the telephone. "Sir... goodmorning. Heard you are here" she murmured in her own seductive tone. "Dr. Dania, if you are free I would like you to come to my office" I uttered frigidly.

"I'm always free whenever you call me. The patients can wait, but I will never make you wait you know" I cut the call after listening to her.

She's one of those of my family doctors and she worked in this hospital too as a senior doctor. We met a few times in California but those were enough for her to kneel down for me, begging me to fuck her slutty pussy. But she is smart and perceptible too, that's why I preferred her more than the other doctors in California, everytime I needed any medical help here.

After a minute or two, I heard someone knocking at the door as I kept running my eyes through the files. I uttered "Come in" in my rasp voice and then the door flew open and she came in.

"So Mr. Pavano, why do you need me?" She smirked, leaning on the desk as I kept going through the files. Her lips painted blood red and those stretched up as she showed me her typical erotic smile.

I set the files on the desk. "Hm so, Dr. Diana" I looked at her this time. "I'm already on my knees if you call my name like that" she bit her lower lip in a seductive manner. "But that's not what I called you here for now" I said straightly, my voice raw.

"It's been a long time... since we you know" she stepped towards me and stroked my tie biting her lip looking up at me with alluring eyes and the luscious grin forming in her lips. "Leera Ellis Reilly" I bought up her name in a callous tone. "Oh the new resident?" She asked confused dropping her hand off my tie, raising her eyebrow.

"Oh yeah she will be under my supervision and She is supposed to be joining from today. What's with her?" She queried.

"I know and I want you to take a great care of her." My lips curled up into a demoniac smirk.

"So she is special to our mighty boss.. hmm.." She smirked. "How would the mighty boss like me to take care of his kitten?"

I stepped towards the window, scanning the outside view and affirmed in a hard-bitten voice, "Make her restless. Make her condition like a damn insomniac. Engage her with gratuitous troubles." Her grin tuned fishy as she came to kind of comprehend the situation more "Kitten messed with the robust, ferocious lion? Such a bad thing for the her." She continued, "Don't worry I'll handle everything the way you like. I'll take care of her very well"

LEERA POV

Such a tiresome day. I organised my stuffs in my bag. As I looked at the mirror, my tired and exhausted self looked back at me as if mocking me with some pity.

Turning the tap on, I splashed some water directing on my face and then dried my hands and face with tissues. I settled my hair with my hands.

As my eyes travelled to my wrist watch a sigh left my mouth. It's late. The whole first day in hospital was so tiresome. The senior physician supervising me, Dr. Diana who looks like a living fairy but is so freaking discourteous and unpleasant. I knew she will give me a whole damn tough year just by spending a few hours with her.

I felt restless to go home and hop on my bed. But it today is one of the most awaited day of my life too. Finally my dream is coming true. I'm soo near of becoming an actual doctor. In childhood like every other children I had a dream and that is what I am still firm about. How everyone spoke the aim of their lives with equal passion and self-ensuredly I spoke why and how much I wanted to be a doctor, since I was so little. But goddamn as I grew up more and more I knew it isn't a kid's game at all and only a certain amount of people could do this.

Exiting the hospital bathroom, I got my phone to look for an uber. Cursing internally I shoved the phone back in my bag as I saw the battery of my phone is dead. Having no other way I stepped outside the hospital, thinking I'll take a taxi or if not that I'll need to walk to my apartment. It will probably take 30 minutes walk from here and it was already a little late than usual.

Azel hospital is indeed so eternally beautiful and so luxurious. Only a certain rich amount of people could get their treatment done here because it's really so expensive. There were few more interns with me but I couldn't really talk to any of them more than asking their names.

I walked down the road looking for taxi but there wasn't a single one empty, disadvantage of being outside at this hour in a winter night. My head felt dizzy, maybe because of lack of sleep last night or the amount of work I had to do today or prolly because of both.

Being a medical student is like being in another side of the world and again doing residency for medical is another level of pain in ass.

Too distracted I bumped into someone so hard felt like a damn wall in the middle of the road and I halted back due to the impact "Sorryy!" I murmured instantly even before comprehending who was the person. I raised my eyes exhausted as no response came.

Panic itself built inside my chest. My eyes travelled up his chest to his sharp jaw, up his face, finally meeting his grey cold orbs looking straight into mine. Hesitantly I swallowed a lump of breath.

Within a mere second I strayed my eyes down and sliding by his side I walked past him quietly.

"Stop" His cold voice making me shiver more in this cold weather. I halted on my tracts clenching my bag.

"Get inside the car" I heard him say but didn't look back. It wasn't a offer, request or anything like that, it was a direct command. I rolled my eyes displeased at what he said. Did he lose his mind? He really thinks I would go anywhere with him after what happened last time. Death was a step away from me when he literally forced me into his car that night.

And after insulting me like that yesterday, why is he back here to me? Showing empathy by driving me back home or actually gotta take me somewhere as he please like everytime he does.

Last night I thought about it a lot and I knew I had to be stronger to deal with this messed up maniac. How dare he accuse me I'm at fault! After crying for hours, I came to a conclusion that I shouldn't be the one wasting my tears over this damn ass. I'll see what can he do to me more. Although I have no idea why is he doing all these but I won't mess with this more than necessarily. I'll just stay away, that's the safe option.

"Didn't you hear me?" His provoked voice lashed up in the heavy foggy air. "Well Screw you" I muttered loud enough for him to hear me expecting a comeback but it never did and I never looked back. I kept walking faster as my heartbeat raced thinking he might be following me.

"Miss... miss wait" I ceased and looked back where the unfamiliar voice was coming from. I am already near my apartment only a 5 minutes walk from here is left.

"You dropped this" The man forwarded an unrecognizable diary. "This isn't mine" I said and turned to walk again but halted when I felt a hand on my arm stopping me. "Look properly this might be yours" I jerked off my arm and backed a step. Where and how did he get the audacity to touch me! The man didn't look decent with the perverted look he was giving me.

"I said it isn't mine!" I practically shouted at his face, unaware exactly why cause I never do like this but I did maybe because of the frustration growing in my head and the next moment I found myself running towards my home, clenching my bag to my chest.

I ceased only when I was infront of the building. I gasped for air as I looked back to check if that stupidass is really after me. I'm just done with this kinda fucked up people.

Then again I knew I was also searching for him looking around as I was in await for the elevator to come down. It was absolutely unexpected how he didn't do anything to stop me when I refused to get inside his car. Just fuck him, and why the hell he would ask me to get inside his car like that out of no where? What the hell did he think he is? My fucking guardian who I would listen to?

I relieved as I stepped inside my apartment. I went to the kitchen straight to drink some water at first, my neck burned with thirst for water as I ran down the streets for that unknown moron.

I grabbed a water bottle and emptied it gulping down all the contents. I let out a deep breath with relief.

After talking a warm shower I came out of my washroom with a towel wrapped around my body, reaching my thighs up my knees and another towel draped on my hair. I always preferred to take showers at night before sleeping because it felt so refreshing after a tiresome day and it's the best way to get that adequate, pleasuring sleep.

The marble floor so freaking cold under my bare feet. I walked to my luggage to grab some clothes as I didn't even set and arrange my wardrobe yet. How could I when I didn't even get the time, since the moment I came here it's always been troublesome and I literally had no helping hand here. No friends here seemed like it was already making me feel so lonely even since it's just a day passed here.

I reached my bag and before I could open it the lights went out all of a sudden. "What happened to the lights?" I murmured under my breath to myself. Thinking to get my phone for the flash light I turned back and bumped into a hard body almost making me fall backward but it didn't happen as I felt an arm settling on my waist halting me from falling backward.

Shivers run down my spine and nerves jolting my heart with surprise. I knew it was him just by the closeness of us and his very own scent. I could trace his facial feathers in the dark as a little light came from outside. His hand clenched my waist tighter.

"What are you doing here?" I uttered reluctant trying to get away from his hard body but couldn't due to his hold. "Shouldn't you be punished for disobeying me?" He murmured leaning against my neck, his hot breath caressed my bare neck making me aware I'm only wearing a damn towel.

My legs trembled "How did you get in here?" I inquired holding my towel as my hands clinged the towel that secured on my chest not letting a chance for it a fall down. "That isn't a fact now. Now the thing is how should we punish you for disobeying me?" His voice a fearful mere whisper adding to my fear.

"Azezal you are insane! What did you do to the lights?" I questioned biting my lip. His hand pulled me even closer by my waist forcing my chest press against his and here I couldn't even pull up a move in the fear what if my towel betrays me.

"Okay as you're new here in California. I'll let you go this time but only this time. A sorry will do for now" He inhaled as if taking in my scent.

"Azezal I'm not in a situation to deal with you. Just leave" I murmured slowly renouncing with a sigh. "Say sorry first" he continued leaving another hot breath on my neck and there was something that I disapproved building between my legs. "Or we might get into the next stage of punishing you"

"I didn't so anything wrong, why would I say sorry!" I snarled annoyed. "Oh I forgot you always like it the hard way. My bad" He stated and the next second his other hand traveled to my leg lifting me up.

I kicked my legs in the air as my hands still clenched onto the towel. "Where are you taking me!? Put me down!"

"I asked you for a sorry but it seems too hard for you to say it. So we-" "Sorry! Damn just put me down ahh!" I hesitantly screamed, my body tensed and then fortunately he set me down onto my feet.

If I wasn't naked under this damn towel I would have fought my way with him but I was just too tensed and again my head drizzled so I just gave up.

"Good girl" He uttered and I could see his demoniac smirk flashing on his face in this darkness too. "This was a warning but the next time you will be punished" that's all he said as he went away from me. I gulped down taking a deep breath but his cologne was still evident in the air that freaking bothered me.

The lights came up almost 5 minutes after he left from here. Without having dinner I went to bed after checking everything properly, if the main door was closed and I even closed my room door even if I'm all alone in this house. But I just couldn't tolerate his presence here again.

...............

Waking up from bed, I yawned stretching my arms in the air. It's early in the morning. The sun lighted my room a bit through the curtains.

After I freshening up, I made myself a mug of coffee and tuned on the TV. Changing the channels I settled at a news channel, sipping my hot black coffee.

My eyes grew wider when I saw what was in the news in a blink. Settling the mug on the teatable I focused on the news running in the television.

'A MAN SHOT DEAD ON THE STREET LAST NIGHT' it was the news headline in bolded words.

And when I comprehended the location of the murder scene and the face of that man my head almost started to spin thinking what I'm seeing was actually real or hallucination.

It was the same man who harassed me last night by touching my arm. The same location, the same person.

Just a day passed and so much happened. It isn't going to be easy here. All I knew is that now at this moment I'm frantic with petrification. My entire body tensed up and my breaths halted in my chest as I had a feeling he did this, cause he actually could..........
