The Young Master in the Shadows

Chapter 193: Monica (1)

Victor sat in the backseat, next to Monica, as Margret enjoyed her time driving the red convertible. She should have bought one of those… She would do that later.

Originally, Monica wanted to drive herself, but when Victor sat in the car, she quickly realized that the driving task was impossible as she would not be able to focus on the road.

“How is your work at the company?” Victor asked Monica as the wind went through his hair making him look more dashing than he was already.

“Ha… Everyone there is very nice to me, and Miss Aria has assigned me a few singing and dancing teachers… They said that you would be writing songs for me…” She said with a slight blush,

“Yes. You will make an amazing Idol. I can’t wait to see you perform.” He said, making her smile slightly. “Is your father still bothering you?” He asked, ruining her good mood.

“Ah... When he heard that I was now working for you, he was very glad... However, a few days ago he started bothering me again… Asking me how close we were…. I… I might have told you that we are very close…” She said with a blushing face.

“Oh… I don’t mind, you are mine… So technically we are very close.” Victor said,

“Um…” She added. “That’s when he told me to get you to meet him as fast as possible.” She said,

“I see,” Victor said. After that, he just watched the road as Monica gave Margret directions to her father’s house.

According to the information Victor got from Kai, Monica’s father is Dave Davis, the head of DD Industries, a big company that specializes in many fields like medical machine manufacturing and weaponry.

He married two times. His first wife, Monica’s mother Kate died after giving birth to Monica, her only child. Dave married another woman after that who gave him a boy. So Monica’s position in her family was really bad. Although she was the eldest child, she was the one most ignored.

In her father’s eyes, she was just a chip to make some connections.

The trip didn’t take long. As Monica’s house was in the center of the city, in one of the most expensive areas.

They soon stopped at the door of a big complex that had more guards on the door than the entire occupants of Victor’s mansion…. Victor would need 71.3 seconds to kill all of them if needed.

“Oh… Miss Monica Your friends are with you…” The middle-aged guard at the door looked at the car “Please wait for a second… Michele just went to pee. He is the one responsible for opening the door.” The guard said with some obvious disdain. This was her brother's, the young master’s commands, to bully her. And he was happy to comply.

Monica lowered her head in shame, not knowing what to say. They always find ways to humiliate her like this, but she didn’t expect them to do it when Victor was here.

“Is this how you treat me after inviting me to dinner?” Victor said loudly, making the guard flinch as he noticed him for the first time… Was this boy always sitting here? Why did he think he was a she? It must be the light playing tricks on him.

“You are?” The guard asked.

“Fuck you. Why should this young master answer you? Do I work for you? Do I owe you anything? Isn’t it that Fucking Dave the one who asked this young master to come for launch?” Victor began to yell. “If it were not for Monica sleeping with me and begging me in a sexy way then promising me that we would do it again in her room, I would have never come!” Victor began to yell. Making Monica beside him as bright as a tomato. Now she can’t escape his clutches… She began to breathe heavily again.

The guard hesitated as he watched. What should he do? Should he call the boss? That would be stupid as he would scold them for delaying a guest at the door…. After some thinking, he decided not to risk it. If this bastard was lying it would be very easy to teach him a lesson.

“Ahh… Right... I have a spare key! I remember now.” The guard said as he put the key in the device near him, making the gate slowly open.

“You must go check that mind of yours… Forgetfulness is a clear sign of dementia… Be careful, peeing your pants comes next!... Maybe you should find other guards…” Victor began to speak to Monica as the car entered.

The guard just glared at him but said nothing. If the master ordered them to kick him out, he would make sure to break a few bones of this arrogant kid.

The car slowly stopped at the house’s entrance. It was a four-story extra modern house with long glass windows and floating concrete balconies. Contrary to the von Weise’s family houses, it gave the image of a nouveau riche. Especially with the big golden DD hanging from the third floor to the first.

Dave was a gangster in his early days, but one day he got ‘lucky’ and married Monica’s mother after ‘saving’ her life. She was the last remaining heir to a big weapon smith company which he inherited after her ‘untimely’ death. The rest was obvious, he rebranded the company under his name and began a business empire using his crime world connections. But the question remains, did he kill his wife, or was her death natural?

Victor wanted Kai to dig the body, but to his surprise, it was cremated. Which made him more suspicious. He will always take care of his girls and since Monica was now his, it was his duty to take care of all her problems.

Margret, who slowly opened the car door for him, knew exactly what he was thinking when she saw his eyes darting from Monica to the Mansion with an angry gaze. This Dave Davis better be careful, one wrong word and he might end up as a green goo.

Victor quickly dragged Monica and Margret inside the house, acting arrogantly as if it were his own.

Inside a butler was standing in waiting.

“Master Victor I presume?” He asked. This one was not stupid. But the big scar on his face didn’t make him look any friendly.

“Yes, the one and only! A little girl told me that your master wanted to meet me.” Victor replied, spanking Monica’s butt and realizing that she was not wearing underwear anymore…

“Oh… This way please.” The butler said as if he just saw nothing.

He guided Victor to a dining room. The meal seemed to have already started. Dave Davis, the fattest man in the room, was busy flattering a young man while his very inappropriately dressed wife and son smiled as they ate.

“Ahmm… Master, this is young master Victor, the young lady’s… Friend.” The butler said, gaining his master’s attention.

Dave was startled, he didn’t expect Monica to bring Victor today, he asked her to get him two days ago… Not today! Well, it’s better to finish this deal then.

Before he could say a thing, the young man who was sitting at the table beside him stood up slowly and used a handkerchief to wipe his mouth.

“You are Monica I presume. I am Clint, your fiance.” He said, speaking to Margret.

“I am not Monica.” She replied. “Monica is the one with the collar.” She added, making the young man freeze and look at the short girl who was sticking to that young master. She was hugging his arm with her entire short body as if she were pole dancing on it…

Dave also looked at his daughter with some displeasure as his son inspected Margret.

“Monica… This is young master Clint. We didn’t know before, but your mother had a marriage agreement with his family. While young master Victor is your friend, sticking to him like this is not appropriate.” He said as he inspected the choker on her neck… Did she wear this thing this morning?

Monica was surprised by her father’s words and wanted to step back but Victor didn’t let her.

“What do you mean fiance? Monica is mine and this is final.” Victor said then grabbed a chair and sat on the table, then Pushed Monica to sit next to him as Margret also helped herself to a seat near him.

“Young master Victor… From the Von Weise family, a presume?” The young man spat, not caring about Victor’s origin. He just glared at Monica.

“Yes, Who else?… And from which hole did you crawl?” Victor asked rudely, as Dave sat down, and gestured to his arrogant son to stay out of this. This was not their battle, and although he preferred to sell his daughter to Clint if Victor proved to be stronger, he didn’t mind leaving her with him.

“I am from the Von Geldstadt family. My grandfather is an elder.” He said proudly.

“Oh… your grandfather's hole then? I always thought children came from their mothers!” Victor asked, making Clint frown not getting what Victor meant… After a few breaths, his face flushed red in anger.

“How dare you make fun of me.” He yelled as Victor helped himself to some food.

“Monica is already mine. Look, she isn’t even wearing underwear today to serve me. You should have seen her in the car.” Victor said, lifting her skirt, making her blush as she quickly pushed it down and glared at him then looked down. She had to take it off at the bathroom earlier.

Clint froze… This was not according to his master’s plan… Shouldn't she be a virgin? That doesn't matter... Damn it!

“Master, Clint, sit and eat… We should discuss such things slowly. Young master Victor really loves my daughter, she might be happier with him… But still, she might get really happy with you.” He said, making his son who didn’t understand frown and whisper something to his mother who smacked his head.

Clint and Victor clearly understood him. He wanted them to bid on her. Clint was angry while Victor smiled as he appraised Clint.

Victor was surprised. This semi-player was a stepping stone meant for Tom, He could imagine Tom coming for dinner one day and being disregarded by her family. Then slapped everyone’s faces and fought this young master over Monica who only wanted Tom.

Victor was wondering what to do… Why would this young master really want to marry Monica? He didn’t even recognize her earlier. Does he really have an agreement with her mother? Didn’t her mother die in childbirth? And who gave Clint the courage to confront him? Should he reveal his elite sign?

The meal was eaten in silence as Victor and Clint glared at each other. Monica’s brother was pervertedly eyeing Margret who made sure to nudge Victor every two minutes and feed him something from her dish, making Monica do the same.

Clint was jealous, super jealous, but chose to remain silent, he had his backer. And things would definitely go his way, Dave had already taken some benefits from him. And he can give other things. Or reveal some dirt and blackmail Dave.

After the meal finished, Monica’s stepmother ordered her to help wash the dishes… She was helping the maids of course. This was her punishment... Her stepmother always punishes her for no reason.

Dave glared at his wife and then asked Victor and Clint to accompany him to his study for some private talks. It was time to bid on Monica’s future.
