Chapter 9MELISSA’S POVThe moment my nude photos would get out, I know very well that it is that very day doom would befall me. Lord Vincenzo might take all my explanations for an excuse. The fact that he might punish me or get rid of me after the whole incident made me feel scared.“Hey! The coach is headed this way. You can continue with whatever you’re doing and get caught, or you leave!” I heard a familiar voice speak out.“You escaped this one. Don’t think you’ll be lucky enough to escape another.” The leader said, and then they all ran out of the basketball court.I fell to the ground, traumatized by what had just happened. I was close to enslavement which could turn to public ridicule if I didn’t allow myself to be enslaved. Then I turned to the direction of the voice of the person who saved me, and coming towards me was Claire.“Hey, are you okay?” She asked, bending down to me.I sniffled, and swatted my hair to the back, then sat up.“You saved me again.” I muttered out, no

MELISSA’S POV I was lost in thoughts while walking back home. I felt so troubled, lost, dejected, and tired of it all. I couldn’t believe that Lord Vincenzo truly had his eyes on me in the school and what was more surprising was that it was my professor. Now, I was in trouble seeing as Professor Darwin was ready to destroy my life if I didn’t do his bid. “Oh, gosh! What do I do about this?” I stomped my feet like a pouting child. “Is there anything wrong?” Kavon questioned, out of the blue. I didn’t notice that I had almost gotten home until I looked up at Kavon and then I glanced at the mansion. “Uhm… N…nothing.” I replied, then I walked into the mansion. When I got into my room, I sat on the bed like a lifeless being. Thinking back to when Professor Darwin asked me to have sex with him, I felt frustrated. “I can’t have sex with that man. No. There has to be another way around this.” I muttered under my breath as I stared at the ceiling. My eyes gradually closed as they beca

MELISSA’S POV Here I was, right before the college. I couldn’t believe I was sent to study fashion designing. Out of all courses in the world, I had to go for fashion designing. Anyways, I was to be thankful because I could still manage that. It was still a reputable course, with a promising future. I walked into the building, and found the class I was to have this morning. I was late, and it was so weird as half of the class turned their heads to look at me. “Miss whatever, this should be your first and last time you come in to my class late. I am Professor Darwin and I do not tolerate both lateness and laziness in my class.” He spoke sternly, and I nodded, pursing my lips out of embarrassment. About half of the class laughed, making things worse, so I just found my way up to the back. I sat down comfortably, and focused on the Professor. “Hey.” A lady with blonde hair, called my attention. She was two seats away from me, but she moved closer to me and sat beside me. “I’m Cla

MELISSA’S POV I was back in my room, and could not get the thought of what had happened between Lord Vincenzo and I out of my mind. Although, it had ended just with a kiss, and it seemed like it was the influence of the alcohol. But the only thing that weighed on me was the fact that he reminded me that I know him even before I was auctioned to him. I had tried to forget it as long as he didn’t remember me, but he telling me I looked familiar only pushed dread down my throat. ~flashback~ FIVE YEARS AGO I was left alone in the house because my aunt and her son had gone out to have fun at the mall and what hit me hard in the heart was the fact that they would go to the cinema and have fun with the virtual games as well. My aunt had ordered me to do the laundry, and clean the home before she got back. I even had to do my cousin’s laundry as well which was disgusting because most of his pants was stained with his semen. I squeezed my face as I sorted out the clothes which were meant

MELISSA’S POV I was back to Lord Vincenzo’s mansion, and I sat in my room, feeling down. How did I manage to get into this trouble? It’s just as that lady said to me that I would end up in a battle ground between both of them, and I would be like the grass that suffers when elephants fight. Recalling that, I decided to go to the basement and ask a few questions. I stood up from the bed, and walked out of the room. I looked left and right in the hallway, and tiptoed out of the hallway. On getting to the sitting room, I looked around to be certain there was no one lurking around anywhere. I knew it was because I was about to do something which could cost me my life, or make Lord Vincenzo torture me, that I was carefully walking. As soon as I got to the stairs leading to the basement, it felt as if a huge rock was dropped in my heart. I felt like my blood became cold. “You can do this, Melissa.” I muttered under my breath. I walked down the stairs, step by step, careful not to make

MELISSA’S POV I was dragged into a car, still struggling even after I was thrown into the car. “Knock her out. She won’t lay low.” One of them said. Before I could make any other move, my neck was hit hard, and I blanked out. ~ I became conscious, and found myself in a different room. I was on a queen-sized bed, and a plate of fruits was placed on the bedside table. I sat up, still wondering where exactly I was. “Leo tried to rape me, and I was saved by an interruption.” I said, but then I gasped as I covered my mouth, in shock. “Michael Deaton.” The door opened wide, and a man, dressed in a black suit, walked in. I moved backwards on the bed, timidly, and then Michael Deaton, walked in. What was he going to do to me? “Good day, Melissa.” He said, with a smile. But I couldn’t respond as I kept staring at him, in fear. “Oh, I’m sorry for the manner in which you were brought here. Pardon me. I am Michael Deaton.” He said, then he walked over to me. “Next time, if anyone is try
