Chapter 1- LITTLE BEE
“I fell in love twice, both for a different version of yours!” – Asmitha (Doted on by the Mafia Boss)

The lights of the night club were put out and what remained on were few red neon lights; the whole
room was chaotic as if it had just braved a thunderstorm. With snacks and empty glass bottles
scattered aimlessly on the floor the club room was lifeless as if there was no party going on a few hours
ago. Suddenly the doors of the room were pushed open and a lean little silhouette came into sight; the
mysterious face was hidden in the shadows and thus it was unable for anyone to make out who it really
was. The silhouette took a step in and it was when that sweet smiling face was revealed.
Her figure was frail and instead of being womanly it was more like that of a teenager. Her dark brown
hairs were tied into two pigtails which flaunted her little face with clean and pure features. She donned
a white shirt and pink skirt and a little belt around her waist, with a pair of white sneakers guarding her
fragile feet she entered into the lifeless hall. Everything about her was pure and tiny; it was as if she
was the muse when men invented the word ‘cute’. She was quite simple but what remained attractive
about her was the little mole below the corner of her left eye.
She had unusually perfect features but instead of being ‘tempting’ she looked quite naive and innocent,
someone who was worth to be showered with love and care. To put it straight she looked more like a
reincarnation of a lamb soul- sweet, tiny and innocent.
She waved the package in her arms to the void as her childish voice resounded in the empty room,
“Arthur, I bought the thing you asked for!” Her voice managed to attract a pair of young ears who raised
his head from the wine cellar. The man had breathtakingly clean features, placing his captivating eyes
at the little girl he flashed her a friendly smile, “Bee, you are here!”
“Ah huh, and see what I have bought along.” Little Bee shoved her hands into her pocket and pulled
out a bunch of lollipops; waving it at him she continued, “We can enjoy it after doing our chores.” Arthur
could only smile thinking how easy it was to satisfy this little girl, nodding his head helplessly he
giggled, “As you wish, my little princess.”
“Where are the others?” Little Bee asked finding the room empty; Arthur jumped across the serving
desk and rolling up his sleeves explained, “Everyone is booked!” “Everyone?” The girl was astonished.
“Yep, the party was held by a big shot in the city so he easily afforded to take everyone out to play.”
Arthur explained as he leaned on his knees of match her height. Even though the girl was happy that
her sisters would bring back more money she unhappily pursed her lips. Arthur raised an eyebrow as
he asked, “What is it?”
Little Bee looked up at him with puppy eyes and said like a poor thing, “I too want to get dressed up
and go out to play like other girls.” Arthur chuckled to himself, this little fool had no idea what was the
reality of the world she was dwelling in. To her eyes the place where she serves is no more than an
ordinary jazz bar but the truth was much more horrifying. ‘Seductress Night’ was a prostitute centre and
rented some of the best woman in Italy.
Every girl who worked under this roof had this special identity except for the naive Little Bee. She was
the youngest off all and was just too innocent to be engaged in these activities. Little Bee was only
twelve years old when Arthur first joined the crew as a Bartender.
His first impression of her was that of a little girl in two braids, sitting idly at a corner, sucking on her NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
candies and watching the party unfold silently as if she had no knowledge or sense what was going on
around her.
He would have been convinced that she was a little statue if not for her occassional chewing or smiling
at the people who noticed her.
Dressed in a white worn out gown she looked like a little fairy amidst the racks of liquor and neon lights.
This sight of a girl with such a pure aura was something one can not always see at places like this. To
be honest, Arthur found her presence in the club a bit 'disturbing'.
She was clearly a kid, was it even legal for her parents or guardians to bring her to such places?
Where were her companions, she was sitting there alone the whole time with not even a single soul
initiating a conversation with her. Obvious innocence and confusion was written on her little face which
remained stale to the heated up atmosphere around her.
Seductress was an infamous club with really notorious personalities frequenting it. It was a lion's den
for innocent creatures like her; wasn't she afraid of the danger lurking around her?
His interest piqued in her when he found her sitting at the same place, with sheer obedience and
consistency, every subsequent day.
This was literally very strange for him to see a young girl all by herself. Just how irresponsible were her
guardians who not only bought her but also abandoned her at such places.
His curiosity grew and he started to ask around about her. His investigation didn't lead him to the
identity of her parents or about people who brought her here but something rather unusual and sad.
