<i>Formal</i></div>

</div>
</div><br/>Adan Bennington didn't care for those that couldn't pay their debts, especially people as pathetic as Noah Pierce was. The reason, on the surface, had been enough for the Korean male's father to loan the money, but there was the warning that if the money was going to be used for selfish reasons, then there would be hell to pay once they came to collect. Two years earlier, he had no choice but to step up as the boss of his father's illegal business and his day job as the head of a recording studio that was going to him anyway upon a failed coup resulting in Mitchell Bennington's death, and upon finding out that most of the money loaned went to the casinos, he quadrupled the interest and angrily demanded all of it back with the increased interest added on top of it. The man blubbered more than a toddler caught doing something they weren't supposed to, even having the audacity to beg for a little more money to hold him and his daughter Mallory over, but he refused to budge at all. Blood was nearly spilled that very night, but then the girl was offered up as payment, the last thing Noah had of any value. Adan took two minutes to decide if Mallory was of any value to him, but upon being shown a picture of her from a formal dance, he ordered his men to get her any way they had to<i>without</i>drawing blood, which was a courtesy he didn't spare often as the older man was forced out with a clean slate until the other debts caught up with him.<br/><br/>What a pathetic man.<br/><br/>The extraction, in the simplest terms, was a success, and Adan was a bit surprised that Mallory hadn't put up more of a fight. In fact, from what the men that had brought her to his house could tell, she lived in complete denial about what her father was up to, which made the desire to hurt her instead of keep her safe much more prominent. "Sir, she should be awake by now. Would you like to go talk to her?" One of the men who had been there to get the girl, Jaques, bowed as he spoke to him, but he didn't respond right away. "How was she dressed when you got her?" The question threw the other male off, but he still answered anyway. "In pyjamas, and we didn't remove any clothing." Satisfied with the answer, he followed the guy to the room she was being held in. "She's all yours, sir." Adan simply nodded before heading inside, earth colored eyes showing very little emotion as he walked in and shut the door, bolting it to give him some privacy with Mallory.<br/><br/>"You look better than you did in the pictures your father showed me." Adan's voice could've passed off as belonging to a voice actor with how smooth it sounded, but he took the time to walk around Mallory as he spoke, shoes barely making a sound as he did so. Typically, the room they were in was used primarily for when they were torturing people for information, and the tools were present as if they were begging to be used, but he wasn't interested in using them. Since she was bound and forced to be on the balls of her feet, kicking her legs would feel just as painful as walking around in rough terrain in high heels for hours on end, and he stood at an even six feet as he carefully began suggestively moving his hands along her body, enjoying the fact that she was tensing up at his touch. Upon removing the blindfold and gag, it was clear to her that he wasn't that much older than her at twenty-two years old, but everything about him made it obvious that he was in control as he smoothed out his raven hair before speaking again. "You seem a bit... surprised." The word had to be an understatement when it was clear that his face was in the news as the owner of one of the biggest recording studios in the country, but it was unclear which job he enjoyed more: telling people how to make their music, or being the head of the mafia. "Don't worry about the tools, darling. That's for the people I need information from that aren't willing to part with it." Despite how warm Adan's voice appeared as he made the joke, he still sounded cold, and Mallory was the main focus right now as he signaled behind his back to raise the temperature to seventy instead of sixty to make her more comfortable.
