Is this destiny?

Hearing what Vivian said, Aiden rushed toward her, fury burned inside him.

Sarah stopped him.

Sarah was still not able to comprehend amount of malice Vivian has for her. "You knew all this, and still you set me up?"

Vivian looked at Sarah with ridicule. "What are few days of embarrassment? What are few days of guys taking turns f*cking you? It would balance out all the good fortune you had until then. It would help you become less conceited... Who knows? Maybe you would even enjoy the process?" Vivian licked blood that dripped from her mouth.

Sarah's hands clenched into fists. She looked at Vivian's crazed expression and could not believe that she considered her to be her friend. Sarah felt like someone dug a hole in her chest. It took her some time to calm herself enough to start thinking. It took her some time to realize that Aiden embraced her.

Aiden was enraged. He realized that Sarah must be shocked to hear this. It was not the time to act on an impulse and give in to rage. He wanted to let Sarah know that she is not alone, that he is there for her and she can count on him.

Sarah looked around the warehouse and walked to the large cage which she noticed when they rented the place. She shook it and ascertained that it's very sturdy. Sarah walked to Vivian and untied her. As she removed last knot, Vivian fell on the floor and groaned in pain. She was not able to move her body to ease the fall, but she felt the pain. Sarah pulled her by the arms into the cage and used two ropes to tie her arms apart.

"Stop! What are you doing? Stop! What are you doing?" Vivian screamed repeatedly. Blood was dripping from her mouth. She tried few times to bite Sarah, until Sarah got the cloth and gagged her.

Once Vivian was tied up inside cage, Sarah walked to Philip. "It's his turn." She told Aiden.

Aiden pulled Philip, tied him up to the chair and removed bag from his head. Philip was dazed, but he was able to move his body.

Sarah observed Philip and was talking to Aiden. "Based on what Anna said, regular dose disables voice, arms and legs for about one hour. After that the person can move freely, but the potent aphrodisiac stays in the system one to two days." Sarah smirked seeing a bulge in the area of Philip's crotch. "Anna told me I was lucky to have a high fever because that neutralized aphrodisiac in my body."

Sarah looked at Philip. "You can talk now, right?"

Philip looked at Sarah lustfully and tried to get loose from the chair.

POW!

Aiden's fist landed on Philips face, and Philip groaned.

"Sarah asked you a question." Aiden squeezed through his teeth.

Philip looked at Aiden and then at Sarah. His eyes lit up. "Yes." Philip's voice was quiet, he was licking his lips and checking out Sarah's body.

Sarah ignored the way he is looking at her. "We know you are working with Ed. I want to know: why me."

Philip heard how Vivian got smacked until she talked and wanted to spare himself the trouble. Especially when he saw how Aiden is eager to beat him.

"Ed contacted me and said that you came to the University and to keep an eye on you. No harm to come to you... Shortly after New Year, he changed his mind and said that you need to be taken care of... that I can do whatever I want as long as you are not his." Philip pointed with his chin to Aiden. And then his gaze went back to Sarah.

Sarah thought that for Christmas, Ed found out that she is with Aiden. And he probably heard from his dad that she left home with him after that. Knowing that, he lost hope that she will be his, and decided that she should not be with Aiden either.

Philip continued. "But he also wanted a backup... something that he can use later. He gave me something small and black and said to inject it in you. It does not matter where, as long as it enters your body."

"How much did he pay you?" Sarah assumed that Philip did it for the money.

"Nothing." Philip shook his head. "Ed didn't give me any money. I earned money from the guys who wanted to be with you... but you escaped, and I had to give refunds..."

Aiden punched Philip and he fell down with the chair. "Bastard!" Aiden kicked him in the stomach. "How dare you sell her off like that?!!" He kicked him two more times and then bent over and punched him in the face several times. Aiden stood up and looked at Philip who was now all bloody, whimpering on the floor. Aiden stomped on Philip's knee and cracking sound was heard. Philip screamed.

"It seems that all of you are eager to play with other people's bodies." Sarah's eyes flashed full of malice. "You don't care about consent... and you think that you have the right to decide if someone should be punished and how." Sarah looked toward the cage where Vivian is tied up.

Sarah looked at Aiden. "Let's get those two in the cage." She pointed at Philip's henchmen.

Two men were sprawled on the floor of the cage, next to Vivian, they could not move, and they still had bags over their heads.

Vivian was gagged, she could not move. Only her eyes moved around in horror.

"Where is the drug we got from Philip?" Sarah asked Aiden.

"Here." Aiden got a small glass bottle filled with transparent liquid and gave it to Sarah. "You will need this also." He gave her a small container which had thin needles inside.

Sarah stepped into the cage, above Vivian so that she can see what Sarah is doing. Sarah took one needle, dipped it in the drug and poked one henchman. Then she did the same thing with the second henchmen and stepped out of the cage. Sarah placed the needle back into the container with needles and handled it together with glass bottle back to Aiden.

Sarah walked back in the cage and removed handcuffs from wrists of henchmen.

"Only he is missing." Sarah pointed at Philip.

Aiden untied Philip from the chair and threw him into the cage.

Sarah closed the cage doors and used handcuffs to lock it.

Philip's hands were still tied up with a rope, but other than that, he was free to move. He was reaching for his broken knee and whimpered. Sarah observed that even with all that pain, his crotch still is bulging.

Vivian was terrified, her body would not move, and she was gagged.

Sarah glared at Vivian with an icy expression. "Don't be afraid. Philip is struggling between aphrodisiac and pain... soon you will find out which one wins. His henchmen will be unconscious for about one hour. And their body will start moving in about two hours... I don't know what will happen after that. Even if all three of them have a go at you, it's less than a quarter of what you had in store for me... Who knows? Maybe you will even enjoy the process?"

Sarah turned around and left the warehouse, Aiden followed behind.. He turned off the lights before closing the door behind him.
