Kayla's pov
The morning light peaks in , touching the windows of Adrian's mansion and reflecting on her face. Everything in this room is so beautiful yet cold, just like the owner. It's quite hard but I'm still trying to adjust to this place, to this life that I'm signed myself into just for the safety of myself and family. I barely hear the knock before Adrian swoops into my room, his movements very commanding,this presence very intimidating. I instantly get a feeling of dread. "We are going somewhere now", he says, the tone of his voice sounds commanding. " Dress formally and beautifully. No arguments, you will do exactly as I say without questions." I clench my fist but manage to keep calm, nodding. " I'll be ready in ten" I open the closet and find it already filled with clothes, shoes, bags, makeups, literally all feminine stuffs and they are all in my size. How does he know my size? I don't remember telling him. I pull out the outfit I think is appropriate enough, hoping it'll suit Adrian and whatever he is planning. When I step out, his gaze swiftly sweeps over me, he nods his head in approval, but he doesn't even comment. Instead he extends his hand, though I hesitate for a moment, I place my hand in his. He leads me into the car then closes the door. In the car, silence surrounds us. Adrian isn't speaking, his eyes firmly fixed on the road ahead. I don't even know where we are going. Finally, he breaks the silence. " Ayla", he says, his voice dropping low, " I hope you are ready for this" Chills runs through my spine. " I know exactly what I agreed to", I reply , trying to sound brave. " I'll do whatever it takes to free myself and my family from you, Adrian." A smirik forms on his lips, but he doesn’t respond to me after that. His silence is more wrecking than his hurtful words. After a while, we arrive at a very big building, one that emits utmost secrecy mixed with pleasure . Adrian leads me inside without offering any explanation as to why he brought me here, his grips me firmly as he leads me through the halls filled with erotic music,whispers and voices of girls ----- moaning?. This place sure do have a lot of rooms filled with dim lights. I hope it's not what I'm thinking. I hope it's an exclusive club and nothing more. Adrian leads me into a private room . He pauses , looks at me and say " welcome, this is where you will be working from now on" I can feel blood instantly drain from my body. " Excuse me? What!!!!!!!" “ I'm sure you heard me loud and clear.” His gaze is unrelenting. “I have a special position for you here. It’ll involve entertaining and making sure some important guests are well taken care of. Just think of it as a way to pay back your father's debt. You won’t refuse this, you can't Kayla.. You dont have a choice.” At this point I can feel rage flowing through me. " You can't ..... Force me into this" “Oh, I can,” he replies, a dark smile appears on his lips. “you have to work to pay me back, I found you a job so you can do just that. You should be grateful " Adrian’s POV She glares at me with a burning rage that brings gladness to my soul. I knew she’d resist.But the moment she signed that contract, she gave me full authority over her. "Glaring atme won't kill me fiery dove. You are here because you owe me, I didn't kidnap you so cut the crap" Her eyes blazing with rage. " I'm not a toy that u can play with neither am I a tool u can toss around " “On the contrary.” I take a step closer, closing the distance between us. “You belong to me now. I can do to you wherever I wish." "You may control my freedom now but it's not completely and it's just for a while" "If it helps you sleep at night then keep the hope alive baby girl" She signs "So who will I be serving?" She asks defeated "ME"Kayla's povThe silence in the car is driving me crazy as we drive back to Adrian's mansion. My mind is all over the place, from the extravagant club to the dimly lit rooms and the exotic dancers, to the morally inappropriate activities going on in the rooms. And according to Adrian, it's where I'll be working, for him..I feel his eyes on me but the stare didn't last long. Every nerve in my body is about to burst. I'm full of questions . I keep remembering how he said " you belong to me" like it's some privilege being his.Finally, I can’t keep it in any longer. “What exactly do you stand to gain from this , Adrian?"He glances at me, and a smirk tugs at his lips. “Careful, Isabella. Questioning me isn’t a good behaviour baby girl.""Like I care. I'm really trying to understand this, I'm supposed to work and pay you back but why are you in it?"His gaze sharpens, a glint of intrigue mixed with something darker. “why do you think there's always something to what I do?"he asks, his vo
Kayla's pov A sharp knock awakens me. I groan silently, thinking it will make the person go away, but the person didn't stop knocking rather increasing the tempo of the knocks. Before I can react, the door swings open. “Get your ass up,” Adrian’s commanding voice echoes through the room. My eyes open immediately, and there he is standing casually in my room. He's also dressed casually too..... “What the hell?” I mutter, pulling the covers tighter around me. Adrian strides into the room, his movements predatory. “You don’t get to sleep in, Kayla. Not in my house, and certainly not in my world.” “Ever heard of knocking?” I snap, sitting up. “I did. You ignored it.” His eyes rake over me, and I suddenly feel exposed despite being covered. “What do you want?” I demand, trying to match his intensity. Adrian’s smirk is cold and sharp. “Lesson one starts today.” “Lesson one?” He steps closer and climbs on the bed, the bed goes down slightly under his weight as he leans in towards
Kayla’s breath heightened as Adrian stood before her, his piercing gaze making her feel both vulnerable and trapped in the moment. The air between them felt intense, thick with tension that had been building ever since their last meeting. “You’re late baby girl,” Adrian’s voice was smooth but commanding. His hand rested on the top of the chair , his posture calm and relaxed , but everything about him screamed control. “I'm so sorry" she panicked, her heart racing. “ you know what happens when you break the rules right?” he asked, moving closer to her, the faint scent of his cologne intoxicating her senses. Kayla swallowed, unable to speak. She’d been warned—warned about every lesson, every step she’d need to take to avoid punishment. She knew the stakes. Adrian’s eyes darkened, a flicker of something dangerous crossing his face. “Let me remind you. Lesson three: complete obedience.” He stepped closer until she could feel the heat of his body brushing against hers. His warm breath
Kayla’s POVThe house is quiet—too quiet. Adrian had for work left hours ago, his parting words sharp and commanding: "Stay out of trouble. You don’t want to incur my wrath."Trouble. The word had lingered in the air, constantly reminding me. Adrian had no idea just how much trouble I could stir.Now, standing in the center of his vast living room, I feel the weight of curiosity pressing down on me. Every room in this mansion screams power and secrecy, and I’m determined to peel back the layers of Adrian Blackwood.I take a tentative step toward the hallway leading to his private quarters. The air feels heavier here, as if the house itself is warning me to turn back. But I don’t.I find myself in front of a door—locked, of course. A keypad blinks beside it, and I curse under my breath. Of course, he’d have top-notch security.“Think, Kayla,” I mutter to myself, glancing around. My eyes land on a drawer in a nearby table. With a surge of hope, I pull it open and find exactly what I’m l
Kayla's pov The silence between us feels so loud that I can feel my heart pounding. My father is sitted across from me, his face blank of any expression . One can tell that he is really apprehensive as he keeps sighing and tossing around . I don't even what to say because he was warned not to do what he did. "How much do you owe him exactly dad" I ask,breaking the silence He looks up at me but quickly drops down his gaze. "I owe him a lot, too much"he mutters. "Too much for me to even pay back. Oh God, what have I done"he questions himself I clenched my fists but immediately releases them because I must remain calm.Deep down my heart, I'm so pissed. Of all the people to owe it's Adrian Blackwood?,the man whose name strikes terror in the heart of the people even most powerful and influential men do not want to mess with him or be in his bad book. Before I could say anything else, there's a loud knock on the door, like the other person is deliberately trying to break it. My fat
Kayla's pov I don't know how I made it to the cafe . A lot has been going through my mind since Adrian's visit. He gavee twenty four hours to accept his terms of face fire consequences. Well, as of now, I have twenty two hours remaining to either sign off my life to watch or watch my family crumble. Sitting at the front of the café, I look ahead and see my best friend, Clarissa. She is jogging towards me happy and bubbling as usual. One of her many traits is fixing things, but I doubt she can fix this particular one. As she gets closer, she notices something's wrong with me. " Gurl, you look like you had no sleep at night. What's wrong?" Where do I even begin? How do I explain to her that I'm twenty two hours away from being a slave to a ruthless man. But I know that if there's anyone that can understand my plight, it's Rissa. Rissa and I have been friends since childhood. We've been through everything together. From the worst times to the sweetest times, we did it all together.
Kayla's pov Standing outside Adrian's mansion feels like I'm about to walk into an agreed slavery. Here I am paying for my father's debts. But i remind myself that this is a sacrifice that I have to and willing to make in order to save my family. I press the doorbell and after some moments, it opens.Adrian's butler leads me into the house. There he is seated like a cold blooded tyrant. " Kayla, my fiery dove", his voice smooth but predatory. "I knew you'd come"The weight of his words pressing down on me very strongly." Not like I had a choice, did I?", I forced my voice. " I'm here now""So you are ready to agree to my terms?""Yes"But instead of bringing out a contract or something,he swiftly pins me to the wall, his hand brushing my cheek. His hand made its way to my neck, wrapping around it. My heart pounds faster. It's like I can't breathe. "Do you understand what you are agreeing to?", he whispers into my ears. His voice deep and stern. " It's not going to be sweet baby
