Chapter 3: The ball

last update Last Updated: 2024-12-22 01:29:42

How did he get my number?

“Did you lose your ability to speak? “ he snapped when I didn’t say anything for a few seconds

“Yes…I mean n..no sir “ I stammered

“Have you received the dress?” His voice was low yet it made my insides tremble.

“Yes, I have “ I nodded as though he could see me.

 “Good. You would wear that dress to the ball tomorrow. I hope it’s your perfect size?”

 “Yes, it is. But I’m sorry, I cannot wear that dress, it’s too revealing and the shoe is way too

uncomfortable, I….“

“Elizabeth …” It sounded like a warning the way he said my name and my mouth clamped shut.

 “I wasn’t asking. See you at the ball”

 And with that, he ended the call.

 Well….that didn’t go too well.

 I sat my frustrated ass down murmuring to myself that I would not wear that dress tomorrow but deep down in me, I knew I didn’t have the guts to disobey him.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 I watched the clock as I got ready, I didn’t own makeup so I applied light powder, a little bit

of mascara and a pink lip gloss. I let my long chestnut brown hair cascade down my back.

Giving myself one last look in the mirror, I decided I was ready.

I did not like my dress. I was no beauty queen and I didn’t get many compliments on my looks, so I didn’t feel beautiful, I’ve never really felt beautiful.

I convinced myself that I didn’t look attractive much and no one would care about the not-so-attractive girl in an indecent dress.

They wouldn’t even look at me twice.

At exactly 6:00pm. A very flashy ride pulled up outside. I knew it was him, I picked up my purse and headed for the door. My dad was also invited to this ball but he was to find his way there.

 I wobbled a little because of the shoes.

The black SUV was parked right in front of the house. I hopped in the car and of course, he was there, busy with his phone, not even sparing me a glance.

 “Good evening “ I faked a smile.

 He didn’t respond. So freaking rude!

 “Good evening sir” I tried again

 “I like a quiet ride”, he snapped, and I apologized quietly.

 The seats of the car were so plush, everything screamed luxury. I’d never been on a fancy ride

before and I was determined to enjoy this experience but it didn’t take long before I found myself dozing off.

 ~~~~~~

A rude tap on my shoulder woke me up. I yawned and opened my eyes as I tried to regain full consciousness.

“Get down” an irritated Vitali ordered.

Immediately, the sleep vanished from my eyes, and I got out of the vehicle.

I woke at his side, and he began to inspect my dress. I felt my cheeks flame when his eyes landed on my cleavage.

For some reason, I wanted him to look, but his gaze didn’t linger.

He motioned that we go in.

I was feeling exposed, so I found myself pulling at my dress to make it cover more skin.

“If you fucking pull on that dress again. I’d see you it that you don’t have hands anymore “ he

whispered in my ears so I could hear above the loud music.

His breath was hot as it fanned my neck while he said that and I shivered feeling both aroused and afraid.

What the freak was wrong with me?

I looked around me, this wasn’t like any other ball.

Most of the women here were dressed in worse outfits and even higher heels than mine. With huge tits hanging out and jelly butts peeking through the hem of their dresses.

They looked like bimbos …brainless bimbos, all clinging to their men. Some men had two or more serenading them.

I was surprised because I expected that a ball was going to be a formal event, not a brothel-themed party.

Some men were smoking, some were drinking and laughing, and some had Intricate tattoos all over the parts of their bodies I could see. They all looked dangerous.

“What’s up beautiful” I felt a painful spank on my butt and I yelped in both surprise and pain,

attracting the attention of a few people, and they laughed at me.

 I looked at the man, he reeked of cigarettes and alcohol. He bit his lip and grabbed my ass again.

I moved to escape his touch, lost my balance and fell, knocking down the tray of drinks a

waiter was carrying.

I could feel all eyes on me.

I have never been so embarrassed in all my life.

I could feel tears brimming in my eyes.

“Yo ..whose slut is she ?” I heard someone call out and some people laughed again.

I heard loud gasps and I looked up to see Vitali punching the guy that groped me and no one tried to stop him. The guy’s face was a bloody mess.

A guy with sand-colored hair ran up to Vitali and held him back, asking him to chill out.

The battered guy stood up and staggered a few steps backwards

 “what the fuck man? I didn’t know she was yours “ he held his broken nose.

 “As much as look at her again and I’d give you to my hounds for breakfast” he raged at the man who hurried away.

My heartbeat was quick as I watched the whole scene unfold before me.

Vitali offered me his hands and I stood up with shaky legs.

“Are you okay ?” His piercing green eyes pierced into mine. And for a moment I found myself lost in his gaze. He was so beautiful yet so dangerous.

“Y…yes” I bit my lip. His eyes flickered to my lips and I thought I saw them darken for a minute then he looked back into my eyes and he probably didn’t like the color or something because he was suddenly frowning again.

“We are leaving “ he announced

“We? Leaving to where ? “ the questions left my mouth before I could stop them.

“You belong to me now; we are going home” he started walking towards the exit, and I followed him.

How disheartening.

“I haven’t got my clothes and stuff with me.Can I go get them please "

“No”

“Please, sir. Can I at least tell my dad goodbye“

“No”

“please how could I just leave like that ..I..I….”

He stopped walking and shot me a glare

“I don’t care. I don’t want to hear another word from you”

 I could see my dad in a corner, watching me with tears in his eyes. He loved me and I loved him too, yes he was reckless but no one is perfect.

I gave him a little wave and he nodded and wiped the corner of his eyes.

 ******

The ride was uneventful. I sobbed all through.

Once in his mansion, he ordered a maid to show me to my room and once I had freshened up, he sent for me.

I met him seated in his bed, wearing pyjamas pants. I swallowed and tried to look away from his naked upper body.

“You sent for me, sir,”, I said, closing the door behind me.

“Take off your clothes”

    I couldn’t believe he just said that.“S…sir?” My voice trembled, giving away my fear“I do not like repeating myself" his voice was dangerously low.Tears welled up in my eyes. No man had ever seen me naked.“Please, sir ….I …I can’t. You can’t ask me to do that,” I pleaded, hoping to change his mind. “I can ask you to do whatever, You belong to me !” He growled possessively or angrily …or both.“As your slut?” I sniffed remembering when someone asked whose slut I was at the ball.He stood up and walked slowly towards me. I watched him, he had a perfectly toned body. Hissmooth hairless broad chest begged me to run my hands over them.What was I thinking, why was I having such thoughts towards him?

    A knock on my door woke me up.“Come in “ I mumbled, hoping they could hear me. “The door is locked ma’am “ a voice said from outsideWith a groan, I got up and after a good stretch I went to open the door.I was surprised to see about 5 ladies standing outside my door.One of them was the maid that showed me to my room last night, a room I haven’t taken a proper look at since I got here. I think her name was Mary. “Erm… what’s going on? “ I asked, surprise written all over my face.“Good morning, ma’am; sorry to bother you so early in the morning, but the boss ordered that I should bring them to get you ready”, the one called Mary answered.“Ready for what? “ I wondered out loud“It’s …it’s your wedding today, ma’am,“ she said, looking surprised that a woman could forget her own wedding.“Ohhh” was all I said as the memories of the night before rushed in. I can’t believe I forgot.“I would have to take my bath and freshen up, you could check back in about 30 minutes “. I told them

    “I didn’t even shoot , I just wanted to scare her. "She’s too weak “ it was the voice of a female. An unfamiliar voice. “Have you lost your fucking mind? “ Vitali’s rage was evident in his voice. “You really think I was going to try to kill your slave? There wasn’t even a bullet in the gun” “Shut the fuck up, Livia!!! And ohh…you better pray because if anything happens to her, you’re gonna pay in so many ways you would not like” Vitali threatened the woman whose name I just learned was Livia. I shut my eyes even tighter, pretending to be asleep. I could feel a slight ache in my head probably from the fall I had earlier. I was tempted to peek through my lashes so I could catch a glimpse of the woman who had held the gun to my head but I was too scared of what might happen if she caught me. I heard her heels clicking towards where I lay. My heart skipped a beat for reasons I could not quite explain. Something about her presence and aura terrified me. “You can end t

    I tried to sit up but the cuffs held me back. “Lay still princess” he frowned. I was no princess , I didn’t want him to call me that.“I’m not fully dressed , they are going to see me like this” my voice quavered.“Be quiet . No one cares about that body “ he mockedSomething about how he said it made me feel so ugly. Embarrased , I fell silent.One of the men was holding a small metal bucket and the other a small rod with a flat head. What were they going to do with a bucket and a rod. I really hoped this wasn’t some kind of kink. He pulled out a glove from his pocket and wore it on his right hand, then collected the rod from the first guy and dipped it into the bucket the second guy held. I think there was hot coal in the bucket because when he pulled the rod out again, it had a flaming red color and what he was trying to do clicked immediately.“Please …don’t hurt me “ I looked at him with pleading eyes.If he heard me , he didn’t show it.“Keep shut, it would sting only a l

    I hummed the tune of my favorite song as I made Livia’s coffee.She had knocked rudely at my door a few minutes ago requesting that I make coffee for her. She didn’t want any of the maids or even the chef to get it done but me. I knew that wasn’t right but there wasn’t much I could do plus, I was really scared of her. I was ready to put it in a tray and go serve her when someone walked into the kitchen.Startled I turned around to see who it was. “Why are you the one doing that?” His voice was as smooth as silk yet firm.“It’s nothing, sir. I don’t mind doing it “ I answered quickly.“That was not what I asked “ he scowled.“I’m sorry, Livia asked that I did “ I bite the inside of my cheek. I didn’t know how to handle his whole attention being on me.“Livia? Do we not have maids? “ a furrow of confusion crossed his face “ we do sir but…” I tried to get the words out without stuttering “Livia!

    As I walked into the dining room, I could feel all eyes on me.“ If it isn’t Vitali’s new toyThat voice-it was definitely Livia’s.Ignoring her, I sat two seats away from the seat preserved for Vitali who was not here yet. I didn’t want to be near him.There were four people here and I’d seen all of them at different times before today. The first was Livia, the second was the sand-colored hair guy from the ball the other day, and the third was the guy at Vitali’s home office a few days back and the last was the guy who groped me at the ball. Sometimes, they had breakfast together and other times, it would just be Vitali alone. I’d never had breakfast with just him or with them before now. This was my first time and it was because I had received a strict warning from Vitali to do so.The moment he entered, everyone fell Silent. The low chattering between his friends died. He had such a commanding presence and I didn’t even need to look at him to feel it.His delicious cologne hit my

I had a lot of clients and potential clients to meet with, had lots of deals to close and I was still going to stop by later at my training camp; I need to see how the new recruits are faring and check up on the stocks we have and all. I noticed the way everyone fell silent and got busy the moment I walked in. They knew I was a no-nonsense man and I definitely had no patience for people who didn’t give their all to working at my company. I knew they all feared me and I loved it that way.I was the kind of man to feed off people’s fear.I didn’t care if they liked me or not, I only ensured they feared me and knew their places beneath me.“Good morning sir” my personal assistant rushed to my side as I walked in “Yes Jaden, what’s my schedule like today? “ Jaden was smart and super professional. I was skeptical about hiring her at first because I always loved to work with a man — but she was different and I

    A few weeks had passed and I had not seen my father.Yes, we spoke on the phone but I really missed his presence, his warm comfortable hugs and the sound of his laughter.Vitali forbade me to have visitors so he couldn’t pay me visits and I was also not allowed to leave the house.“Good morning sir” I greeted Vitali who responded with a nod. He seemed to be rushing off to work; he had some files in his hand. “ Is this everything Vincent ?” He asked the sand-colored hair guy. Turns out his name’s Vincent.“Yes, Vitali.” He replied curtly.“Go over them again and be sure, I want no mistakes, you know how important these are “ “Yes boss “ he nodded, collecting the files from Vitali and doing as he was told.I was seated in the living room watching a show but since they got in, I hadn’t paid any attention to the TV. I couldn’t keep my eyes or ears away. I had zero human interaction so whenever they talked amongst themselves I liked to listen. It made me feel better. Feeling thirsty,

    I was sipping coffee and checking my email when I heard a knock at the door. I got up to answer it, expecting it to be Zoe or maybe a delivery person because I had ordered some food. But to my surprise, it was a courier holding a small package. "Sign here, please," he said, handing me a clipboard.I signed for the package and took it from him. It was a small, elegantly wrapped box with a card attached to it. I opened the card and pulled out the note inside.It was from Vitali."Will you go on a date with me?" the note read. "Meet me at the Italian restaurant downtown at 7pm tonight." I felt a flutter in my stomach as I read the note. Vitali was certainly full of surprises.I looked at the package again and unwrapped it. Inside, I found a beautiful silver necklace with a small crystal pendant. It was gorgeous. I bit my lips to suppress a smile. I thanked the courier and got back inside Vitali and I had been seeing each other every day for the past one week.He’d tried to kiss me

If he wants me back, he’s gonna work for it” I stated“Boss queen energy, I love it” she giggled “Sorry to interrupt you, ladies” Vitali interrupted “How can we help?” I said, turning to him. “ the event is over and I’m about to head home. I was just wondering if I could give you ladies a ride” he said charmingly“Um…we don’t…”“Yes, kind sir. Take us to your car “ Zoe cut me short and Vitali nodded with a smile, his eyes trained on me “What? “ I glared at Zoe as we walked outside with Vitali. “It’s my chance to enjoy a fancy ride. I won’t lose it “ she whispered “Oh my goodness “ I shook my head at her Of course I wasn’t going to turn him down, I was just gonna play a little hard to get but I guess Zoe wasn’t taking chances Soon, the three of us

    “What’s going on?” I whispered I was very certain this was going to make the headlines What the freak was he trying to do? I hope this wasn’t another plan to embarrass or make fun of me He smiled, his eyes locked on mine. "I'm here to apologize," he said, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear. "I was wrong to hurt you, Elizabeth. I love you, and I want to make it right." I could hear the loud gasps and whispers ‘How could he love her ?’ ‘Vitali’s in love?’ ‘Eww she’s such a pauper ‘‘He couldn’t find anyone else ?’ And many more condescending comments filled my ears “I’d been a horrible horrible man to you. I’ve treated you badly, so badly you now want nothing to do with me and I want to fix that. Please give me a chance Elizabeth” The air seemed to hang still I tried to speak but my mouth felt dry. Vitali coming out in the public to do something like this was a big deal. Did I really mean that much to him? “Vitali I…” I struggled to find my words “You don’t

    It was a lazy weekend, Zoe had gone to her new workplace. She had quit working at the club and was now working as a waitress in a restaurant nearby. I asked why she quit since the pay was better at the club but she explained that she was relocating and the sexual harassment from patrons at the club was too much It was already time for her to get back but she wasn’t here yet . I was lounging on the couch, scrolling through my phone, when Zoe burst into the room. "Beth, guess what?" she exclaimed, holding up two invitations. I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "What is it?" "We're invited to Tyler Jackson's company’s anniversary party!" Zoe said, her eyes shining with excitement. “Um…Tyler Jackson as in CEO of TJ corporation, son of multi-millionaire Harris Jackson? “ I widened my eyes in surprise “Yes! That Tyler Jackson “ she squealed“Omg, no freaking way. How did we get invited? He doesn’t even know us “ I wondered “Honestly …I don’t know. I just found two invitations with bo

Zoe had been trying to convince me to give Vitali another chance, but I was adamant that I was done with him.I couldn’t even believe she could even suggest something so ridiculous "I'm telling you, Beth, I think Vitali still loves you," Zoe said, her eyes shining with conviction. "He's been a mess since you left him, from what you just said. He was even able to find you, that’s intentionality right there”“You don’t know that man. He’s doing all this to feed his ego. He actually doesn’t give a fuck “ I argued“I know he hurt you and you’re pissed right now and I also know that you miss him” she replied“No. I do not “ I denied but she could see right through me “I watch you every day Beth, you’re not moving on.

All they had to do was pay up their debt and by doing so, they made my job less annoying with their bloody pleas.Derek owed me a debt, he wasn’t going to be the first man to find it difficult to pay me back what he owed.

    Vitali's grip on my arm tightened as I kept trying to pull away. "Let me go," I repeated, trying to keep my voice steady.My heart beat picking up pace.But Vitali didn't release me. Instead, he pulled me closer, his eyes burning with intensity. "I won't let you go," he growled. "Not until you listen to me."“I’m not interested in whatever it is you have to say, just let me freaking go” I grumbled, trying to struggle against him, but he was too strong. He had pinned me to the wall At this point, Vitali's eyes locked on mine. "I know I hurt you," he said, his voice low and husky. "But I love you, Elizabeth. I need you."I shook my head, to show disbelief. "You don't love me," I spat. "You just want to control me."“No. I didn’t mean it when I said all that Elizabeth “ he confessed but I didn’t believe him “I don’t care, I just want to leave “ I maintained“I’m so sorry Elizabeth.

I answered it, my heart racing with anticipation."Vitali, we have a location," said the voice on the other end of the line.

"It was made from an apartment on the outskirts of town."I felt a wave of relief wash over me. They had found her."Who else is with her?" I asked, my mind racing with possibilities."We're not sure," said the voice. "But it looks like she's staying with a friend."I nodded, my mind working overtime.
