Chapter 194: Options For The Night
All eyes diverted towards Samantha who had blurted out the name of the girl, and her pupils dilated when the realization of her actions began to sink in. Her emerald green orbs turned to Callum whose gaze narrowed alarmingly, almost as if he was trying to discern the truth by penetrating her eyes with his own, but before he could bring himself to speak, Ivan held Samantha’s hand in a comforting gesture and said.
"You are not allowed to demand for such cocktails," He reprimanded Samantha, squeezing her hand lightly as he took in her consternation, "you can have them when we return to our domain, but we’re guests here, your actions could be deemed impolite."
Samantha blinked her lashes, conveying her puzzlement, but when she got the message from his eyes, she immediately played along with an apologetic bow of her head.
"Forgive me My Lord, I smelled the fragrance of Amanda cocktail and couldn’t help myself." She admitted in a low tone, and everyone’s nerves seemed to calm.
"Pay no heed to her cravings." Ivan tried to brush off the topic as irrelevant. Callum’s eyes held a little relief upon realizing she was referring to the Amanda cocktail, and not the Amanda he had sent his men to kidnap. The tension in the room was palpable, but after the explanation from Ivan, their guards instinctively dropped, and all attention returned to the petrified girl who was firmly tied up. She was wearing her loose night dress, and her black hair fell across her dainty face, obstructing anyone from noticing her expression.
Amanda sneakily glanced at the masked men with evident fear, and she became more frightened when Callum, her abductor, smiled lecherously in her direction. With his arms opened, he beckoned her over,
"Come."
Samantha’s frantic gaze darted between Callum and the petrified Amanda who was hesitant to go anywhere near him. When she didn’t move, the smile on Callum’s lips dropped slightly, and he brought his hands down. If there was one thing he disliked it would be disrespect, and all he did was tell the fragile human to come to him, but she had the audacity to ignore his polite command. Something in his eyes twinkled, expressing his displeasure, and he ordered.
"Bring her to me."
