3. DADDY

"Morning, baby girl?"

Jamie's greeting managed to stop Selene who was settling like she wanted to escape and avoided the host who was enjoying a healthy breakfast.

The blonde turned around —throwing her knot smile at Jamie who was staring at her expressionlessly. Selene rushed to bring her legs to the dinner table, then chose to sit on an empty chair on Jamie's right side.

"Never skip breakfast." messaged Jamie.

Both corners of Jamie's lips lifted up as Selene gave a nod. The girl hurriedly grabbed a glass of milk in front of him, then gulped it down until it ran out of flavorless. Jamie's smile expanded after watching Selene who managed to gulp down her homemade almond milk.

Although Jamie can even order anyone to make, or pour a glass of milk — completing his breakfast menu in the morning, that morning after a long time Jamie again touched the special kitchen in his magnificent mansion just to make a sandwich along with salad and almond milk — Selene's favorite menu in the morning.

Right now, Selene had truly become a part of her. As he often did with his late wife, Jamie again took the reins —jumping straight to choose, even preparing all sorts of selene's personal intake and needs.

"Thanks for the breakfast, Sir —" Selene hurriedly shook her head and fixed her line of sentences.

"Thank you for the breakfast, Daddy," Selene said in a more cheerful-sounding voice.

Jamie nodded. In the next split second he extended his right hand before Selene while staring at him warmly. "Come here." he asked quietly.

Selene flinched. For a moment she was transfixed —digesting and thinking about the possibilities when her beautiful oniks saw Jamie's big hand outstretched in front of her.

The middle-aged man kissed her blindly, hit her butt hard, even touched every inch of her smooth body, —all wild shadows crossed Selene's mind, making herself completely pensive and immersed in all the terrifying fantasy she had created.

Jamie chuckled softly as his blue iris saw Selene shuddering in between her daydreams. "Selene?" he called her softly.

Selene gasped —turning to the source of the voice, then staring at the figure that was smiling warmly at her. "Y- yes, daddy?" she stammered.

"Come here," asked Jamie once more.

Selene gets up from her seat —bringing herself up to Jamie while swallowing her saliva in a broken motion like a slow-motion scene in a movie. 

When there was no longer any distance between him and Selene, Jamie swiftly embraced the girl's waist, then placed it above his right thigh. Selene's round eyes are repelled. Once again, she swallowed her saliva slowly before finally turning her head and putting on her trademark knot smile.

"Did I make a mistake?" asked Selene innocently.

Jamie shook his head, then replied, "No."

The blue-eyed man returned to smile before feeding a spoonful full of fresh vegetable pieces with a few small slices of tuna meat.

"I just want to see you have breakfast right," Jamie said sincerely.

Selene opened her mouth, and devoured her first mouthful from Jamie's hand. She chewed her food awkwardly and clumsily, because Jamie didn't turn his attention away from her.

Although disturbed, inevitably, Selene must be able to hold back and behave as normal as possible. After all, situations like this can happen several times a day as long as she becomes a part of Jamie's life —as they had agreed a few days ago.

"Do I have to eat like this, every time i almost miss breakfast?" Once again, Selene voiced her curiosity with all the innocence that remained within her.

Without hesitation Jamie nodded. "I'll take good care of you." insisted Jamie.

Jamie is back to feed Selene's favorite tuna salad. "Never skip a meal if you don't want to be in this position." Jamie's said.

The blue-eyed man winked one of his eyes with a seductive look. Selene's hair is resusing. Even so, she had to start getting used to all the rules Jamie made. 

However, the rules that Jamie made really did not harm her if viewed from any angle. Instead she had many advantages therefore as long as Selene was willing to obey.

"Baby?" Jamie rubbed next to Selene's cheek while staring at her gently.

"Y- yes, daddy?" Selene hurriedly swallowed her chew before turning her head, and returning Jamie's gaze.

The middle-aged man was still staring at her with all the gentleness he rarely showed in front of many people. Selene is almost complacent when her green iris is met with Jamie's beautiful-looking blue bead, most people are so fond and adoring of the owners of those rare colored eyes, including Selene.

Unfortunately, what Jamie did next managed to restore selene's terrified sharp highlight.

Selene gasped and almost got up from where she was sitting if Jamie didn't immediately remove his hand from the girl's smooth thigh.

"I'm sorry." Jamie meant it.

Selene nodded. Once again, she reminded herself that what Jamie had just done might happen in the future, or even jamie could have done something more inappropriate than he had just done. 

Who knows? 

Therefore, inevitably, Selene must be ready with all the possibilities.

"Can I take you to school?"

Jamie grabbed Selene's hand that was squeezing each other, then rubbed her smooth ridge with all the tenderness he had.

"I'm sorry. I won't repeat it if you're uncomfortable." Jamie again voiced his bad feelings for Selene.

Selene nodded, then replied, "It's okay."

"Alright, I think you'll be late if I keep holding you like this."

Jamie held both sides of Selene's waist which looked like a Spanish guitar before finally helping her to her feet, then herding her to the spot where his entire collection of luxury cars was perfectly parked.

***

From that day on, Selene's life completely changed 180 degrees. she has everything —never again lacking anything, because Jamie really holds his words and promises to protect and give Selene everything she needs.

Even her life as a teenager in school changed. Everyone really noticed it. Even when she was caught getting off or off a luxury car, rumors spread quickly. Selene is referred to as a "gold digger".

All the luxurious and expensive items attached to her body are always used as new gossip every day by all students in her school.

While Jamie, from the point of view of all his confidants, Selene's existence managed to make Jamie back to what he was when his late wife was around. Even Jamie did one thing he had never done in the past — calling and asking about his only son who he had deliberately exiled from the public.

Now Jamie smiles more, his tough attitude softens a little, even Jamie speaks in a good way when he asks for something from the confidants as well as to the employees who work in his luxury mansion. And the change really gives a breath of fresh air to the people who've worked on it for quite a long time.

Moreover, Jamie truly becomes a man who is willing to occupy himself in the morning and evening —preparing all sorts of things for his favorite girl, Selene.

Jamie really gave his best for Selene. Expensive items, maximum protection, even unmitigated he gave one of his black cards to Selene. Jamie didn't put any limits on her. Selene is welcome to use the card as she pleases.

Even so, Selene did not necessarily enjoy all the facilities that Jamie gave her. Because, she knew, there was a price she had to pay for what Jamie was free of charge.

Jamie is gentle and even makes Selene the queen —the owner of a magnificent palace and everything he has. Unfortunately, whenever Jamie starts to get bored, or can't even vent his passion for Selene because of the agreement he had made, he always spontaneously treated her harshly. Especially when Selene started to disobey and accidentally raise her voice.

He always hits Selene, taking Selene to a "playroom" that he has never opened for a long time —making Selene the object of his game. Even so, Jamie was always responsible for his abusive actions on the girl. He intervened directly to treat all the scars he left behind.

Selene could have escaped or dodged, and returned to her adoptive mother as well as her sickening life. Unfortunately, she really couldn't do it. Jamie is a man who has complete power and control over everything, including everything and access that connects him to Selene.

On one occasion, Selene once tried to escape and hide, but in less than an hour, all of Jamie's confidants managed to bring Selene back to her.

It's worth it? Of course not.

Selene knew she was completely confined —had no right to break free even if she asked Jamie directly.

But one day, for the first time Jamie can't account for what he did to Selene, he brings in a Doctor who recommended from one of his confidants to treat Selene.

Although awkward because she could not accept the presence of other new people in her daily life, that day somehow got encouragement from where, Selene gave herself to invite the Doctor to talk.

"Doctor Chappelle?" 

Selene read a row of perfectly lit letters, on the name tag attached to the right bag of snelli worn by the black-haired man, with blue eyes that were as charming as Jamie's.

"Is there any other area that hurts, miss?"

The doctor took the time to look at Selene in the midst of his busyness making a knot on the stitches he made in Selene's left arm.

In the next split second, the Doctor put down the tool that had just been used, then replaced it with a small piece of cotton that he had previously applied alcohol.

"Are you a member of the Chappelle Family?" 

Selene looked curious about the man who was cleaning another wound on the same arm.

She knew very well the name she had just said. Chappelle is the name of a wealthy family that in fact holds all control of all things related to the world of medicine and health. Almost all members of their family work as doctors with a reputation and labeled as doctors who are really reliable in their respective fields.

"Doctor Chappelle?" called Selene once more.

The Doctor turned his head —fulfilling Selene's call. He smiled when his obsidian met Selene's emerald bead, then stopped all the treatment process that he wanted to do before finally opening his voice.

"Kristoff," said the doctor. "Kristoff Chappelle." 

The Doctor introduced himself —extending his right hand that was no longer wrapped in a latex gloves like the other part.

Instead of shaking the Doctor's helping hand, Selene chose to catch the big hand —grasping it tightly, while looking at him sadly.

"Help me get out of this place. I’m begging you."

Selene voiced her desperation to a stranger she didn't know. But even so, Kristoff can't be called a foreign man. He can be called one of the most influential people in the medical world. Selene isn't afraid to ask Kristoff for help. Even if asked to kneel she would do so right then and there.

Selene knew —everyone knew, the Chappelle Family was one of the few people who had great control and influence in everything. Like Jamie.

"What would you give me if I were willing to help you, miss?"

Kristoff folded his hands on his chest while casting a gaze with an expression that was difficult to guess the meaning.

Selene flinched —transfixed, her tongue slur to hear the barrage of arrogant sentences Kristoff threw at her. 

What would Selene give Kristoff if he managed to help her out of Jamie's golden cage?

There's nothing she can give to Kristoff. Even if Kristoff asked for her body —her honor, in return, she wouldn't be able to give it just for the sake of returning the favor to Kristoff.

Silence. For 5 minutes Selene was drowned in the wailing and all the misfortunes she had. She tightly closed her ration valve —reticent to continue the only request she had.

Kristoff chuckled softly at selene's change in expression. "Forget my arrogant question earlier, miss."

Selene raised her head —looking up at Kristoff who had just risen from where he was sitting.

"What do you mean, Doctor Kristoff?"

Kristoff turned around and sat back in his original place. Without hesitation he approached —approaching Selene's right ear, then whispered, "Just so you know, Miss. Someone sent me here to help you get out of Mr. Krueger's golden cage."

Selene turned her head to the right side —staring at Kristoff full of questioning.

"I'm not going to say who the good person who asked me to take you away from this place," Kristoff said in one breath.

Kristoff knew the meaning of Selene's gaze. However, before the girl voiced her curiosity, he chose to give her a firm answer.

Kristoff approached again and whispered another sentence. "If you're willing to change to be someone else and live a new life as a new person, I'll get you out of this place right now."

Selene's wide eyes rounded perfectly. It looked at the warm-looking Obsidian Kristoff with all sorts of shock.

"The only way you can get away from Mr. Krueger is to change everything you have, miss," Kristoff said.

Selene swallowed her saliva slowly. The ration valve was closed again after hearing a series of explanations delivered by Kristoff.

"Are you willing to do it, miss?"
