Alexander brought Aria and Caroline to the place where he was keeping Paul. He didn't tell Aria who she was going to meet because he didn't want her to freak out.

He didn't want Aria to become his weakness but it was too late. She was already his weakness and his love for her, was beyond everything. He would protect her with his life.

"We're here." Alexander said as he got out of the car which Aria and Caroline did the same.

"What is this place?" Aria asked as she stared around her in awe.

It was a deserted place with a huge house in the middle. There were around ten men guarding the door and a lot of trees were also surrounding the place.

"Where everything takes place." Alexander responded and held Aria's hands.

"So this is like your own kingdom? I assumed that it would be much bigger..."Aria said with a smirk which made Alexander chuckled, "It's much bigger than it looks like."

The men guarding the door bowed their heads at him as he walked pass them.

Inside, it was much bigger and luxurious. It didn't look like a base at all. But you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover.

Alexander walked towards a wall and stopped as he stood facing the wall.

Aria and Caroline were confused but when he placed his palm on the wall, a small digital-tablet-like device appeared out of nowhere.

Alexander quickly typed the password and the wall separated from one another, revealing a huge door.

Alexander typed another password, which made the huge door open. Aria walked beside him with her mouth wide open while Caroline couldn't believe her eyes.

"Welcome to the underworld, love." Alexander said with a smirk. Aria blinked a few times to make sure what she was seeing.

It was like she's in a whole new world. A whole new place which looked damn scary.

There were around a hundred rooms and a lot of people were guarding each room like there were gold, silver or diamonds behind them.

"Boss." A man approached Alexander and bowed his head, "to what do we owe this visit?"

"Where is he?" Alexander asked and the man raised his head, He replied,"CB23" before adding, "We've been torturing him day and night."

"Very well." Alexander walked towards one of the rooms and opened it. The door had a password too, which Alexander obviously knew since he was the boss.

When the door opened, it revealed a very dark corridor. Alexander entered the room, still holding Aria's hands and Caroline behind them without forgetting those two men following them for security.

Alexander pressed a button and the lights were switched on instantly, revealing a lot of cells.

Alexander walked towards one cell and stopped. He opened it which revealed a man, tied with chains, sitting on the floor, there was no way that anyone could ever escape this place if they were prisoner.

The man was bleeding badly, his state was pitiful. It was quiet dark so Aria couldn't make out who it was but Caroline knew as she was already told who she was coming to meet.

She rushed to her son and cried looking at his condition. Paul looked up and stammered, "M-mom."

Immediately recognizing the voice, Aria froze up in her place. Her grip tightened on Alexander's hands and she started sweating.

"Calm down. He can't do anything to you...but you can."Alexander spoke and squeezed her hand.

"Wh-what is he doing h-here?",Aria asked, her throat was already dried up.

"For you to have your revenge." Alexander said before adding, "I also have an enmity with him."

"Paul-" Caroline breathed out, while wiping her tears, "why?"

"Why what? Why I didn't come back to you? Why I sold her? Why for what? Be precise." Paul spat on the floor.

"Why did you do this? What the fuck have I ever done to you? " This time Aria asked fearlessly as he walked towards him.

"You? You are the reason for everything bad that ever happened! Ever since I've started dating you, I've wanted only one fucking thing from you and that was your body! I wanted you to have sex with me but no! Ma'am wants to stay a virgin until her husband claim her." Paul scoffed at her.

Aria gave him a hard slap which made him spat blood, "So? That didn't mean you could fucking sell me you bastard!"

"You asked for it you whore! Let me guess, you've given your precious virginity away to that murderer."Paul smirked despite his bloody face.

This time it was Alexander who gave him a hard punch. His nose which stopped bleeding, started bleeding again.

Caroline wasn't doing nor saying anything. She was just watching her son getting beaten up.

"You worthless piece of shit" Alexander growled at him and hit him again.

"Alexander please wait." Caroline finally stopped him.

Alexander stopped on his tracks and looked at Caroline, "why?"

"I want to know why he never came back to me." Caroline spoke.

Paul started laughing like a mad man, "Because you-are a worthless mother- I asked you for some money but no! You wouldn't give me!"

"You have changed." Caroline said and shook her head helplessly.

"I'm not your son anymore! I'm Paul and I work for the fucking Mafia! They give me money--" Paul cut himself off once he realized what he was saying.

"You work for the mafia? Who?" Alexander asked, looking at him cautiously.
