I was only his tool for power and revenge. I should have known. I should have known he was no ordinary man but knowing wouldn't have changed anything. I was helpless, trapped with no choice and he was like my savior from the Slave den back then. My hatred for him wouldn’t have allowed me to go with someone else. Well, it’s not like I had a choice to choose my buyer. He was the highest bidder and I am a commodity he bought from an illegal market. A commodity which he has great plans for. His tool for power and revenge but I hate that my heart palpates for him. It shouldn’t. I hate him. I hate Jacob Steele!!!!

She just wanted to hug him. Adam said he would come for her but she'd said no but here he is, proving her wrong.He tilted her chin up with his middle finger and examined her face, taking in every detail of it.She stared at him, letting him do whatever he wanted with her. If he wants to stare, let him stare. There was no escaping from him again.She stared deeply into his eyes. They draw her towards them, wanting to drawn her. Her heart pounded slowly in her chest. How on earth did she miss all the perfect details of his face? She cannot believe this man right here was once a slave. She tried to read his eyes and as usual, she knew she would fail. Jacob conceals his emotions perfectly. There was nothing to read.“ Cute,” he mumbled and let go of her chin.Why isn't he angry at her? Why did he say that she was cute when h
Ava was relieved. Adam seemed to buy the idea. She didn't believe it would work. She just thought of trying it out. She wiped the blood on her mouth with the back of her hands and stared at the retreating back of Lorenzo.“ I'm sorry for your loss,” she said weakly and he just closed the door behind him without answering. Ava let out a low sigh as she pushed herself slowly up to her feet which wobbled. Her stomach churned but now wasn't the time to think about food. She needs to find a way out of the ship.She had just told a lie and she needed another lie to back up that lie until she found an escape route. She is not familiar with Jacob's Villa and guards. Now that he is on his low time, wouldn't that be evil to conspire against him?No. She shook her head, patting it with her palm.She shouldn't be thinking about him. She shouldn't care if he just lost his power or not.Besides losing his power and his death is what she wants.The door opened again and a different face walked in
The boss returned to his seat and sat down but she noticed something, his gaze had changed. He no longer has that look. That scared look he had on a minute ago made her wonder what they discussed. What did they talk about? “ Jacob Steele is your master?” He asked her and she didn't miss the anger mixed with hatred in his voice. She slowly tightened her embrace around her knees, as if shielding herself and her fears from him. Hesitating, she answered with all courage. “ Jacob Steele is my master,” she answered and suddenly felt stupid and angry at herself. Did she realize what she just said? She just insisted Jacob is still her master. Damn it. Stupid girl! She quickly added, “ I mean nothing to him. I am worthless to him. He doesn't care about me and won't come for me. He threw me out himself. He left me to die. I didn't escape,” Although there were truths in her words, she still hoped they would buy her little lie and let her go. The boss seemed to be weighing he
A splash of water Jotted the unconscious woman up. She gasped as the water drooled down her face. She looked around, confusion clouding her face and her eyes landed on a man. He had a dirty bucket in his hand and she quickly realized he was the one who poured her the water. Where was she? How long has she been there? How did it get there? So many questions ran through her mind but there seemed to be no answer to them. A foggy memory crept into her head and her hands instinctively reached for her neck. A soft gasp left her mouth and she roamed her fingers around her neck to be sure. The collar. It is gone! Her eyes welled in excitement, clumps of lumps forming in her throat. How could she forget how that stupid almost choked her to death in the woods? She forced the lump down her throat. She raised her head up and mouthed a thank you to the man who she assumed to be her savior. ‘ I am free. I am no longer a slave! The collar is gone!’ she screamed internally, excited but she did
" Where did you find her, Lorenzo?" A short man with dirty blonde hair asked one of his men as they stared at the young woman on the floor of their ship. " I found her in the bush, close to the duck during one of my morning walks," Lorenzo answered. It was common knowledge that Lorenzo loved going on early morning walks. He would walk for hours and return to the dock before they sailed away. Since the death of his wife and son, he'd been taking morning walks as a form of therapy, and earlier today, he found a woman unconscious. He discovered she wasn't dead and couldn't leave her behind so he took her with him to show his boss. Perhaps, they could get some money through her or have a good time with her. There are barely any women on board so most of the time, they go months without the touch of a woman. Some of them have even resulted in fucking themselves to satisfy their urge. " The dock is secluded. What could a young woman like her be doing out here all alone?" Lorenzo asked,
Ava paced back and forth in the room. It's been days since Alice told her of her plans and during these days, there had been no sight of Jacob Steele. She still remembered Alice saying now was the perfect time and for her sake, she would stay a few more days so she could make her decision. Ava stomped her feet on the floor, her eyes narrowed as she sighed slowly. " I will leave. I will escape." She muttered firmly. A few minutes later, Melanie entered the room but Ava noticed the unfriendly look on her face. It was unlike her. Melanie always has a smile on her face. Ava's heart skipped in her chest. No. Melanie could not have known about Alice's conversation with her. She gulped, waiting for the woman to state her business. " Whatever you are planning to do with Alice, don't. I beseech you, Ava, for your good, do not do it." Ava's breath hung in her throat, her heart pounded against her chest. How did she know? How did Melanie know? She pressed her lips together trying to act
Ava had regained consciousness. She sat on the bed, knees folded. She wrapped her arms around them and stared blankly into nothingness. The pain med administered to her eased her of the pain, or perhaps it made it bearable to sit. The memories of the events at the hood party were still fresh in her mind. She feared it would be in her memory forever but she wasn't ready to let it go. She hadn't and will never forget what they did to her. Even if the world doesn't have any justice left, she would get one herself. No matter what it takes. This suffer that they made her go through, they shall suffer it thrice. She blinked back the tears brimming in her eyes and swallowed a lump that her throat hurt. “ I will never forget,” She muttered under her shaky breath and she quickly wiped the tears off her face when a knock came from the door. She parted her lips to speak but no words came out. The person ushered themselves in by themselves and Ava saw Melanie walk in, holding a tray with
Jacob walked to the door and then turned to look at her on the bed. His hands clenched by his side. Good thing he brought her back to his villa. Here, she can rest and heal with no one disturbing her. He still needs to go back to the hood as he has unfinished business there. “ Melanie, don't leave her side.” he paused then let out a low sigh. “ I do not know when I will be back but all of you are under protection so you have no reason to worry,” he assured her and as if remembering something, he turned to look at her and said, “ Keep an eye on Alice,” With that said, he turned around and strode away with relief in his heart knowing she was under good care and would be safe. Jacob entered the hall where the party was going on earlier but they all seemed to have retired to their respective rooms except one person who still lurks behind the curtains. Lordess Veronica. “ I thought you wouldn't come back,” Her voice sounded distant but yet close. Jacob had seen the shadow behind t
Ava's lips parted, her eyes burning and brimming as the tiny thing burned the skin around her neck. Every second that passes, Ava becomes more restless and unable to breathe. She gasped for hair and her body fell to the floor. Her body coiled like an earthworm. She felt her skin burning. Every part of her was burning. Her fingers rambled for the thing torturing her. She touched it and she felt it burn her fingers. Whimpering, she pulled her hands away quickly and folded her knees to her stomach on the floor. She closed her eyes, hoping the pain would go away but it became worse. She felt something soft fall behind her and she felt a little breeze on her back. “ Get up and give me your back on the table,” he instructed, his voice laced with what Ava never understood. She pushed her sweat-soaked body up and staggered to the table. With trembling legs, She bent over, giving the audience her back. Jacob knew the hood was waiting for him to punish her for her misconduct. He walked p
A groan left my mouth as I stumbled forward due to a force on my back and the plate in my hand shattered into pieces as it collided with the floor, the sound echoed through the hall.“ bitch, you're so clumsy” I heard her curse behind me before stepping over me, acting as if she wasn’t the one who just pushed me.I remained on the cold dark floor, gaze fixed on the pieces of the broken plate that can’t be fixed.Tears welled in my eyes. I tried to fight them back but here isn’t a place to try and be strong or weak. I’ve been here for a month now and it’s been hell on earth. I know better than anyone what my fatewill be in this dinner hall.I gulped hard and placed my left hand over my famished tummy and my intestines didn’t disappoint. They churned.Dinner time is what everyone looks up to with each passing day. It’s the only time you can fill your stomach with food.“ hey,” I look up to see a familiar face staring at me. I may not know her name but I’ve seen her around a couple of t...
