100 Days to Seduce the Devil

[ Current Time… ]

Aiden felt reassured when Nathan called him. He knew that his best friend would be able to help them against the unknown men who were chasing after them.

He was concentrating on driving a while ago that he couldn\'t answer Stephen\'s messages. Fortunately, Cherry took his phone and picked up the call for him.

But who would have thought that Aiden would tell his friends that she was a beautiful woman who hijacked his car and he became a hostage driver? She didn\'t know whether to cry or laugh.

But for some unknown, Cherry felt a little bit guilty toward this man. He got involved because he was the first person on site. She had just finished withdrawing the money she stole from one of the accounts in the gambling site, DragonFly.

Because of that, the Red Dragon Mafia started tracking her down, especially when they found out that it was Black Rose who hacked their account.

They were chasing after her not only because of the money she took from them, but because they wanted Black Rose to be part of their organization. She would become a great asset to the organization.

Furthermore, Black Rose was a member of Phantom\'s Assassin Guild. She might be the only survivor after the Syphiruz Mafia attacked their headquarters.

The Red Dragon Mafia was thinking that Black Rose would try to avenge her fallen comrades against the Syphiruz Mafia. The Dragon Lord wanted to recruit her and use her hatred toward the Syphiruz Mafia.

Two cars were still tailing them. Aiden continued driving the car, traversing through the Towerville City Bridge. The men were so persistent to catch Black Rose.

"Why are they chasing after you?" Aiden asked her.

"They are human traffickers," Cherry replied matter-of-factly. Of course, she wouldn\'t tell him that she had another identity and that she was being chased by a mafia organization.

"WHAT?! Human Traffickers! Are they planning to sell you in the Black Market as a slave or engage you in prostitution?" Aiden tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He had the urge to beat those men up!

Cherry is a charming woman so he believed that those men were trying to take advantage of her. She also has an excellent figure.

"I can\'t let them take you! Don\'t worry! My friend will deal with them. I will ask them to give these men a good beating!" Aiden exclaimed, reassuring her. "You are safe with me!" he added.

Cherry just looked at him in amusement. Just a while ago he was acting like a scaredy cat but now, he was acting like a knight in shining armor.

"Just drive…" she mumbled, trying to conceal her smile. This man never failed to amuse her. He looked weak and vulnerable as compared to other men. However, the way he spoke to her right now seemed like he was dependable and someone whom she could rely on.

Aiden just bobbed his head and stepped on the gas pedal, speeding up on the long bridge of the Towerville City. A few minutes later, two sedan cars cut in front of the two cars chasing after Aiden\'s car.

The two cars abruptly halted their movements, slinging the drivers against the steering wheel with bone jarring force. But they were able to avoid the collision.

Cherry glanced at the side mirror and saw that two sedan cars stopped the members of Red Dragon Mafia from following them.

"Are they your friend\'s men?" Cherry asked Aiden, still checking the rear side mirror.

Aiden, on the other hand, heaved a sigh of relief. He knew it! Nathan would be able to rescue them as soon as possible. Towerville City was the turf of Syphiruz Mafia. His subordinates could respond quickly.

"See, you are safe now. They can no longer touch you. Of course, I will not allow them to sell you to the Black Market. You can count on me." Aiden proudly said.

"What do you know about Black Market?" Cherry asked him again.

"Uhm… because they are human traffickers, right?" Aiden said as an alibi. He couldn\'t tell her that his best friend was a leader of the powerful Mafia organization.

,m "I think you should stay with me for a while. I have to keep you safe. They will not be able to follow you in my villa," Aiden offered her. He couldn\'t leave her alone especially now that he could tell that she was still feeling sick. Her face was pale.

Cherry got exhausted. The fatigue from her travel and from running away from those men have accumulated a while ago, causing her to faint.

She was caught off guard once again by Aiden\'s sudden invitation. She didn\'t know why this guy was offering her another help despite the threat she had done against him.

\'What is he planning to do? I wonder if he has another motive for doing this.\' Cherry was a little bit suspicious of Aiden.

She was still thinking when Aiden spoke up, catching her attention. "Can I have my phone back? I will just call my friends to cancel our night out!"

Cherry: "..."

\'He will cancel his plan with his friends tonight just because of me?!\' Cherry was watching him in disbelief. Before she could say a word, Aiden already reached out for his phone.

Using his free hand, he dialed Stephen\'s number. After a few seconds, the call got connected. Stephen\'s worried voice resounded as soon as he answered the call.

"Aiden! Are you in trouble again? What have you done? We have been waiting here for three hours! Where are you?" Stephen bombarded him with so many questions.

"You should explain things to us. Nathan went home already. He got tired of waiting," he added, informing Aiden.

"I\'m driving so I can\'t talk to you that long. I will tell you the story tomorrow. For now, I just want to cancel our night out! I have something important to do. I will call Nathan myself, so don\'t worry!"

Aiden didn\'t wait for Stephen to respond as he ended the call. Cherry was there so she could hear their conversation, that\'s why he decided not to talk to Stephen for long.

Besides, he was afraid that Stephen would say something that could tarnish his reputation in front of Cherry. As much as possible, he wanted to impress her.

After talking to Stephen, Aiden turned to Cherry, waiting for her response. "So, what\'s your decision? Will you come with me?" Aiden\'s voice was so soft as if he was pleading with her to say yes.

Cherry fell silent for a moment, contemplating. The money she withdraw was left somewhere in the casino. She hid the bag containing the money when she saw several suspicious men. Seeing their tattoos, she found out that they were members of the Red Dragon Mafia.

Feeling so weak and tired, Cherry had no choice but to agree. Her apartment was still in a mess. Her things were not yet arranged so she wouldn\'t be able to rest well in messy surroundings.

"Fine. I\'m coming with you," she plainly said, resting her head on the headrest of the passenger seat. Then she closed her eyes. Aiden was no longer speeding as the men who were chasing after them had been blocked by Nathan\'s men.

Meanwhile, Aiden rejoiced inwardly when he heard Cherry\'s positive response. His eyes lit up with excitement. Well, he had a crush on her, that\'s why he was very enthusiastic tonight. She looked so cool and very brave.

Twenty minutes later…

Aiden and Cherry arrived in his private villa. Cherry was overwhelmed when she saw his big house. The structure was modernized with matching high technology securities. He had sensored lights, an automatic gate system, and CCTV cameras scattered in different areas.

No wonder, Aiden recommended his place to her. It was like an upgraded and high-tech safe house!

\'He is rich. I wonder if he has a high-level computer here that I can use to continue my search. I have to gather information about Syphiruz Mafia and find a clue where Big Sis is being held captive!\' Cherry thought to herself when the car stopped in his garage.

Aiden stepped out of the car first to open the car door for Cherry. But then, he stepped back when he saw the scissors on Cherry\'s hand. She was still holding the sharp object.

"Hey, are you still going to use that to attack me?" Aiden asked Cherry helplessly, putting on his pitiful face.

Cherry looked down, staring at the scissors in her hand. Then she shifted her gaze back to Aiden. He was pouting his lips while looking at her with pleading eyes.

Cherry exhaled before surrendering the scissors to Aiden. Since he helped her tonight, she would be kind to him just tonight.

Aiden accepted the scissors with a broad smile on his gorgeous face, his eyes sparkling. He looked like a puppy wagging his tail in front of Cherry.

"Let\'s go inside!" Aiden invited her in, extending his hand to her.

Cherry gave him a strange look. \'Is he expecting me to hold his hand? No way.\'

"I can walk alone. I don\'t need your support." Cherry coldly said before walking ahead. Aiden just scratched his head, following her behind.

Upon entering the main door, the maids inside the house were surprised to see a beautiful woman and the master of the house. The maids started talking to each other, murmuring.

"Eh, among his girlfriends, Boss Aiden finally brought a woman in this house! Does it mean he is serious with her now?"

"Will she be our master\'s future wife?"
