Chapter 59 - Better Off Dead (1/2)

Arianna woke up with a wince, her body hurt like hell as if she had been tossed around like a bag of potatoes. But that was the least of her problems because right now she couldn't see a thing and that was only because she was hooded.

She turned left and right, struggling to pull herself free all to no avail because her hands were cuffed behind her back. It was dark and hot inside her hood, Arianna feared she might suffocate before they came to her aid.

”Let me out of here!” Arianna screamed muffledly. This was not the way to treat a lady. It was highly inappropriate!

Anyway, her prayers must have been given attention to because she heard the sound of approaching footsteps and calmed down immediately knowing they would free her.

As Arianna thought, the bag was pulled away and she had to squint her eyes against the sudden sunlight that threatened to blind her.

When she was able to see clearly, Arianna looked up only to discover a blonde-haired woman with an intimidating aura standing right in front of her with another man while two other men were standing on either side of her as if trying to make sure she didn't escape.

For some strange reason, the blonde woman was staring at her with intensity and emotion she couldn't exactly describe. Arianna could almost say she was looking down on her.

”Who are you and what do you want from me?” Arianna finally summoned the courage to ask when she still wouldn't say a word to her.

It was obvious that the woman was their superior since the other men hadn't dared to say a word. It was almost as if they were waiting for her order to act and that made Arianna confused and scared at the same time.

She was confused in the sense that it wasn't Marcel. She had seen that man take that purse and that proved Marcel sent them to capture her. So why was this unsmiling woman the one to welcome her instead? Was Marcel such a pussy he would let a woman do his dirty work?

However, if this woman was their leader, it also meant she could do whatever she wanted to her. Arianna knew she was in trouble - deep trouble.

”To be honest, you're not what I expected,” The woman finally spoke.

”Really?” Arianna tilted her head to the side, ”Humor me,”

Macy narrowed her gaze at Arianna the instant she said those words, the bitch has some guts.

”I was expecting someone extraordinary. But I have to admit you're kind of beautiful....” Macy acknowledged her beauty.

She stepped closer to Arianna and leaned closer, bracing herself on both sides of the chair before reaching out to grab Arianna's chin, examining her features the way one would do to priceless goods before auctioning them off.

”You got enthralling green eyes, is that the way you charmed him because Marcel hasn't been able to get you out of his mind and it's kind of sickening,” Macy sneered, her dislike of Arianna finally showing.

”Wow,” Arianna smirked as if she was enjoying the show, ”Sounds like someone is jealous,” she took advantage of Macy's weakness at the moment.

That reaction irked Macy so much that she reached out and struck Arianna on the face. How dare she embarrass her like this?

Macy often prided herself on the fact that she was polished and scrupulous, having the ability to control herself even when under stress, but the reverse was the case lately. She has been making a lot of mistakes and it was all because of her! Arianna!

Honestly, that slap hurt like hell and she saw stars in her vision but Arianna had a huge pride and would not give that bitch the satisfaction of knowing she hurt her.

”Is that all you can do?” Arianna intentionally goaded her and got the response she needed.

Macy forgot all about self-control, she was going to teach Arianna a lesson. She couldn't understand why the sight of Arianna pissed her off so much. This was the first time she hated someone so much on their first encounter.

With rage distorting her features, Macy was prepared to land another slap on Arianna when the girl in question jerked forward without warning and headbutted her.

Macy let out an unladylike scream as she heard the crunching of bones and sharp pain spread from her nose to the rest of her body. She broke her nose?!

”What are you waiting for?!” Macy screamed at the other men while pinching her nose to stop the blood flow, ”Deal with her!”
