Chapter 2

Indeed it was true that he was mad furious when he saw that she was missing. He nearly torn down the entire streets.

"Theo, I was bored.." she whispered again.

"I only stepped out to get some air I promise....I just happened to see this library across the street, I was tempted to come."

It was his fault. Yes, they did come out to eat but then he met some dangerous people whom he would never want Winter to associate with. So he decided to have a "talk" with them. He kissed her protectively on her forehead before leaving her to wait in the lounge all by herself. It was a stupid mistake he made. He left her unprotected. He should've never left her alone.

When he came out after he was done with his business, he noticed she was missing. And of course he did not take it well and injured two of his men in the process.

He took her hands in his big palms and looked into her eyes.

"If you want to read, I can provide you a room full of books..."

"Really?"

Her eyes shone brightly as she heard this. She was very happy indeed. Reading was her favourite pastime especially when she had nothing to do now. Not that she could move about freely when she was with him like she was with Theo now.

Seeing her happy and beaming with joy, his heart nearly skipped a beat. He smiled warmly at her. This innocent and naive looking girl in front of him made him feel things he had never felt before.

In fact the goons watching this scene were amazed because they never saw their lord become this soft for anyone.

Never had he shown this side of affection even to his biological parents.

Their lord tilted his head to the right and smiled at her as he caressed her hair. He leaned in towards her taking a sniff of her sweet nectar. One would call it psychotic judging by his behaviour and the way he was staring at her. He looked insane and maddening like the Joker.

It was funny as he was in fact very famous to be known as the Joker in his field for his criminal mastermind and crazy stunts; his sadistic sense of humor and unpredictable nature.

He was becoming addicted to her. When she was out of his sight, he couldn't handle it. He needed her under his gaze all the time. He had to know her whereabouts and what she would be doing if he was not with her.

"Lets get you home..."

'Home' she thought, the word made her feel a mixture of sadness and joy. Does he miss her? Apparently not. She left her thoughts at this and nodded.

"Okay" she whispered.

The cars sped down in perfect uniform as their lord settled comfortably inside the car with a sleepy Winter who was snuggled in his arms like a cute baby.
