Prologue

RAY'S POV

Out of nowhere, he suddenly pulled me by my waist. His arm wrapped around me in a lock, sending chills to my body. A faint scent filled my nostrils. It was minty yet spicy with a mix of whiskey. For a moment I was captivated by his enchanting cologne.

His black eyes are dangerously attractive but I fear them because everytime they look at me, I feel as if they can read through my soul. I turned my gaze on the floor to avoid making a direct eye contact with him.

Squeezing me, he caressed my hair using his rough fingers while I just wanted to run away. I felt myself being a bird, flapping its wings to desperately fly out of a cage. After all I was captured by this man, whom people called " The Mafia "

As I pushed him, he looked at me with a sharp gaze which was enough to burn me into ashes. He has turned my life upside down. Before meeting him I was just a normal surgeon, who started her mornings with surgeries and ended her day with night shifts. Like a thunderstorm, he barged into my life and crushed my dream of building a hospital.

The sole reason I studied hard to become a surgeon was that through my hospital's free treatments I would be able to save the lives of millions of poor children who couldn't afford the high expenses of the private hospitals but now I can't seem to achieve my dream.

Rolling up my sleeves, I grabbed a first aid kit. I picked out an antiseptic tube and told him " Please lie down. I have to apply medicine on your wound."

In a flash, he snatched the tube from my hands and said " Thanks but I can do it myself. "

He lifted his tshirt up, revealing me his eight pack abs. I must admit, he is the most handsome man I have ever seen. No other man can be compared to his well built and mascular body. Even though he was wearing a black Tshirt, his broad shoulders and his collar bone was clearly peeping out.

This isn't my first time seeing his godly figure but for some reason I never get tired of watching this seductive sight.

Next to his dragon tattoo, there laid a deep wound which he got while protecting me from a bunch of gangsters. He tore the bandage which was covering his wound and struggled to apply the antiseptic over it. Since the time I met him, he has always acted this stubborn. Not caring even a little about these scars. For god's sake why can't he be normal.

Glaring at him, I shouted at him" When I am here, why the hell do you have to do it yourself. Mr lorenzo, you don't know but in this way you are hurting yourself "

"Don't you dare shout at me doctor. I don't feel pain." He said to me coldly.

Frustrated I bent down and took the tube from his hands. He looked at me dumbfounded. Sighying, I began cleaning the wound with a cotton. Then I applied an antiseptic over it. Finally bandaging it, I stood up. For some reason he kept staring at me.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

Closing the lid of the fist aid box I said to him sarcastically " Do I need to take your permission each time I go out? You have already..."

Before I could speak any further, he smashed his lips on mine, making me tremble with strange excitement. He bite my lower lip passionately. As for me, I stood there frozen.

" Let me go! what the fu€k you are doing?" I screemed while throwing punches on his chest but he continued kissing me, shamelessly.

I kept wriggling as to free myself from his grip but all my efforts went in vain. No matter how much I tried, I can never compete with his indomitable strength. Something sparkled in his eyes as he moved away from me and I exhaled in relief.

He marched towards the wardrobe and pulled out a gun from the drawer. I shivered in horror. Holding that gun he stepped towards me. Each cell of my body shaked in fear as I begin to stride backwards.

Is this going to be my last day? I can't die this easily. I thought as I gasped in terror.

To my surprise, he handled me the gun and said " Doctor you are scared huh? Did you think I will shoot you? No..I will never..Go out but always keep this gun with you. Protect yourself if anything happens. From today onwards my guards will accompany you wherever you go. If you try to run away again then be ready to face the consequences. Is it clear?..Did I make myself clear?"

Gulping down my fear, I nodded. Was this my end or the start of something new?
