Is this destiny?

"Is there a need to walk all the way here?" Aiden is confused that Thomas is leading him toward the resort building where the guest suites are. Aren\'t they supposed to go toward stables? But nothing happened, if Sarah is in any danger, Eve would notify him. Aiden told himself to focus on his surroundings. He can\'t allow himself to fall into some ridiculous trap… Sarah is counting on him to show up in that shed.

"Just a bit further… there is a good spot for us to talk.", Thomas explained with a nervous smile.

"Madison?", Aiden sneered when Madison stepped out of the shadows. Aiden glanced at Thomas who pretended that he didn\'t notice Madison showing up.

"I told you to f*ck off. I don\'t want to see you ever again." Aiden is furious about the stunt that Madison tried with Sarah. Just what is she thinking? If she was successful, Sarah would leave him!

Madison slowly advanced toward Aiden. "How can you treat me like that?"

Aiden could not hide that he is pleased to see that Sarah left her mark on this shameless woman. "What happened to your face?"

Madison\'s expression twisted in anger at the thought how Sarah slapped her. She managed to hide bruises on her neck and face with makeup, but the swelling on her left cheek is impossible to cover up.

She gritted her teeth. "I think you know what happened. Why don\'t you provide me with some explanation? How can you be with such a violent woman?"

"You think she is violent? Make one more step toward me and I will make your right cheek match the left one, and as a personal treat I will break few bones as well."

At these words, Madison stopped advancing. She looked at Aiden with a mix of obsession, hate, dejection, and madness before a smirk appeared on her face and she lunged herself at him. At the same time Thomas grabbed Aiden\'s right hand which was already balled into a fist ready to greet Madison, and Liam showed up from who knows where to hold Aiden\'s left arm.

Aiden had no problem shaking off Thomas and Liam, and within a second both of them were lying on the ground. He looked at Madison who took few steps back, and he didn\'t understand her expectant expression.

Aiden glanced at three people who were unmoving, just staring at him.

"Just what do you three think you are doing? Did you lose your will to live?"

A second later, Aiden felt that his right hand, just below the wrist started burning. He looked at it and saw scratch marks. Aiden glared at Madison. "You…" His heart thumped wildly, and his vision got blurry. "What did you do?"

Madison laughed. "Ha! Let me see you resist me now! You might even think that I\'m her! That bitch will see… she called you her man? I will enjoy seeing her face when I show her the proof of us spending the night together!"

"I will never spend the night with you.", Aiden responded angrily.

"We will see about that!" Madison\'s confidence was obvious.

Aiden felt pain in his upper abdomen, and he lost his breath.

"What are you doing?!", Madison screamed.

"He hit me, I\'m not going to let that slide.", Thomas squeezed through his teeth.

Another punch landed on Aiden\'s back.

"And that is from me!", Liam bellowed.

"Don\'t hit him! Take him to my room… quickly, before someone comes…", Madison urged them.

…

In the shed, next to the stables…

Sarah is sitting on the chair with her hands resting on her lap, tied at the wrists. She is observing four young men in front of her.

Sarah concluded that Henry and Paul are most keen on hurting her, Aaron is on the fence, while Noah will obey whatever she says (for some unknown reason). She knows that there should be three more people: Liam who is easy picking, after all, he peed himself twice in front of her. And there are also Thomas and Patrick whom she didn\'t meet yet. Based on Eve\'s analysis, all of them have relatively fit bodies, but their muscle and bone structure don\'t show signs on any significant martial arts training. She should not have problems taking them on.

Right now, Henry is demanding an explanation from Noah who refuses to talk. Other than: "I will obey my Mistress.", Noah didn\'t say much.

Based on Noah\'s behavior at Jeffrey\'s birthday party and now, Sarah concluded that he might be into dominant-submissive relationships and since she beat him up last time, he finds her to be the dominant. Sounds crazy, but nothing else makes sense.

Paul is trying to calm Henry down and Aaron is observing the situation while shooting apologetic glances at Sarah occasionally.

Aaron tied up Sarah\'s wrists, but not tightly. Probably because he didn\'t want her to be uncomfortable. Sarah realized that she can easily get her hands free, but she decided not to. After all, she is the hostage.

"Master, Aiden\'s health is compromised.", Sarah heard Eve\'s voice in her earpiece.

She lifted her hands and tapped the earpiece. "Give me full analysis."

"His blood pressure is elevated, vision blurred, there is a high chance that he is hallucinating…", Eve started listing symptoms she captured with her sensors. "…it\'s 90% certain that it is a highly potent mixture involving MDMA…"

"Ecstasy…", Sarah murmured while panic swelled inside her. 

"Who is with him?", she asked, and her face hardened when she heard that it\'s Liam, Thomas and Madison.

Sarah cursed internally that she agreed to Aiden\'s condition that most of the drones follow her, and few remaining ones to guard resort entrance points. With that arrangement, Eve can\'t help him!

Aaron caught that Sarah is talking with someone and got curious. He approached her, but Sarah didn\'t care.

"Where is Patrick?", Sarah asked Eve while getting her hands free from the ropes.

Eve responded that Patrick is in his room, with a girl named Jessica who came as his +1 and that they are copulating.

"Keep me informed about Aiden\'s location.", Sarah told Eve and looked at Aaron. "Sorry, I need to do this." A second later, Aaron was on the floor, unconscious.

Seeing that Aaron fell down, Noah got on his knees with an expression of pure euphoria.

Paul and Henry didn\'t have any time to react before they joined Aaron on the floor of the shed.

Seeing that she is about to leave, Noah lunged forward and grabbed Sarah\'s ankle. "Mistress, me also, please…"

Sarah could not believe it. "What do you want?"

"Once with a leg, but don\'t knock me out. And then once with hand, it\'s OK if I pass out.", Sarah gave him a small smile before kicking him in the chest and then hitting his pressure point at the neck which rendered him unconscious.

She turned toward the door and saw Jasper and Ellie looking at her with faces of utter disbelief.

Sarah passed by them. "Go back and pretend you didn\'t see anything. Close the door before you leave." She didn\'t wait for their response. Sarah was running like the wind toward the location where Eve told her that Aiden is.

…

In the resort building where guest suites are…

Up on the fourth floor, Thomas and Liam almost dragged Aiden to Madison\'s room.

"I can\'t believe that he is still resisting…", Liam grunted while pulling Aiden down the hallway.

"Leave…", Madison told Thomas and Liam when they reached her room. She didn\'t remove her gloating gaze from Aiden.

Thomas and Liam walked out slowly, and then lingered at the door without closing it fully. They were listening to what is going on inside.

"Sarah…", Aiden mumbled.

"Yes, think of me as Sarah if that makes you feel better.", Madison said.

There was a sound of a fabric ripping and Madison giggled before saying: "You can\'t wait, can you…"

Thomas and Liam exchanged knowing glances and closed the door before heading toward the elevator.
