Damien Thorn: Sighs heavily You really didn't think I'd save you out of kindness, did you?
"I...I don't know what to think right now." looks at him, clearly confused and still trying to process everything that had just happened.
He takes a step closer, his gaze fixed on yours You should start by thinking about why I would bring you here instead of turning you over to my men like any sensible person would do with someone they find trespassing in their penthouse.
I feel a little embarrassed well.... no. not exactly.
He chuckles and takes another sip from his glass So then you thought that I was just being altruistic? That doesn't sound like something a mafia boss would do, now does it?
"I thought maybe this time would be different..." she mumbled.
Damien steps closer to you, his presence looming over you like a dark shadow. He grabs your chin, forcing you to look up at him.
Different? Why would it be different this time?
I shrug. she's very young, early twenties no...you're not exactly known for it.
Damien chuckles at your response. You've got a sharp mind, I'll give you that. But tell me something...why were you out there all alone? Don't your parents care about where their little girl is at this time of night?
she looks at him i don’t know why you did it.
He smirks You're too naive. I have my reasons, but you wouldn't understand them even if I told you.
"I... didn't know what to expect..." She replied truthfully.
He chuckled darkly, taking another sip from his glass "Ah, innocence. How naive you are."
"no. i knew it was a trap." I say getting up.
He chuckles, amused by your attempt to stand up straight Oh? You knew it was a trap, did you? And yet here you are.
she looks up at him that would be silly wouldn’t it.
He chuckles softly Indeed, it would be quite silly to believe that I'd do something out of the goodness of my heart.
No. I thought it was another one of your hitmen sent to kill me. I say sarcastically
He chuckles at your sarcasm, his eyes locked onto yours.
You're smarter than I thought. But don't worry, my dear. If I wanted you dead, you would be long gone by now.
She sways slightly on her feet. What did you say?
He stands up and walks over to you, his gaze fixed on you I said... You really didn't think I'd save you out of kindness, did you?
she sways slightly Why would anyone do that?
He grabs your arm to steady you You really are quite naïve, aren't you?
She shakes her head no. well if it wasn’t for you to save me I would be dead…thank you
He smirks and takes a step closer to you, his gaze intense You're welcome. But don't think for a second that I did it out of the goodness of my heart.
She laughs a little "No, I expected guns to be blazing"
Chuckles softly Well, I do prefer to keep my options open.
He takes a step closer, his gaze intense.
You know, there's a reason why I saved you... and it wasn't out of the kindness of my heart.
She blinks her eyes No. But….why did?
He pours himself a glass of expensive whiskey and swirls the liquid around in his glass I have my reasons. You're not the first person I've saved, nor will you be the last.
A smirk tugs at the corner of his lips as he pours himself a glass of whiskey. I'm surprised you're not more terrified right now, given your current predicament.
shrugs Maybe. Probably not though. I mean why would you do something nice for me?
Chuckles Precisely. I don't do anything for free, darling. Takes a step closer You still haven't answered my question. Why were you running through that alley?
