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. His
smooth hairless broad chest begged me to run my hands over them.What was I thinking, why was I having such thoughts towards him? I internally face-palmed
He stopped very close to me, so close that our chests almost touched. He smelled delicious and it made my core throb. I need to stop having this kind of thought but I almost couldn’t help it.
He was drop-dead gorgeous and handsome and everything a woman’s dream man needed to be.
His face was sculpted to perfection, his nose pointed, his lips full and sensual; a dull shade of pink. They looked very soft and kissable. His jawline and cheekbone were chiselled in the best way I’d ever seen. His hair was messy probably from running his hands through it during his shower because it was perfectly styled earlier at the ball.
I let out a small whimper when he grabbed my waist and he gave me a knowing smirk.
“You’re aroused “ it wasn’t a question.
“N..no” I played with my fingers nervously.
“You’re not as innocent as you pretend to be.
Fucking whore” he snorted.
“I’m not a whore “ my voice broke
“Take off your clothes now!” It was an order, I looked at his face. It was emotionless, his eyes
dark like those of a predator ready to devour a prey.I was so scared of him. I couldn’t even scream for help and I was sure that if I did no one would
come to my rescue.Obediently, I pulled my silk nightdress over my head, and I stood in front of him wearing only a pair of lace panties.
I used my hands to cover my boobs.
“Take those off too” he pointed at my panties
“Now!” He added when I hesitated
The tears fell freely now.
I slowly pulled off my panties while he watched. I could see the growing bulge in his trousers, and for some reason, I wanted to feel it. What is wrong with you, Beth?
He stretched out his hands to collect my panties and then he sniffed it. I felt my pussy tingle when he did that. I wanted him to touch me….I need to stop.
“Stand erect!” He ordered, and I obeyed with no hesitation, but I looked down.
He slowly lifted my tear-stained face so that I was looking into his eyes.
I could feel how hard my nipples were from his gaze. He held them both with his fingertips and squeezed the taut nub gently, and an involuntary moan escaped my lips. I slapped my hand over my mouth embarrassed.
“Fucking whore”, he whispered, and I felt ashamed.
“We would wait until you’re officially mine until we are married “ he sat down on the extra large king-sized bed. I think the bed was customized or something.
“Ma…married?” I widened my eyes. I didn’t think he was going to marry me, I thought I was just a commodity to him. This was great news; we would then be equals, and he’d treat me with some respect. I liked the idea.
“You seem to stutter a lot, Elizabeth ”
Something about how he said my name made shivers run down my spine. The way his name rolled off his tongue like he was tasting it.
“Are you a stammerer?” He sounded irritated
“No sir,” I answered quickly so as not to annoy him further. The truth was he always made me nervous around him and I stuttered when I was nervous.
“Then stop it . It gets on my fucking nerves"
“I’m sorry sir” I struggle to say without stuttering.
“To answer your question we are getting married tomorrow so brace yourself. Now get out“ he dismissed without giving me time to process what the freak just happened and what he just said.
That’s so sudden
I hurriedly put on my night dress and holding my panties in my palm , I scurry to my own room feeling dirty and harassed.
******** I check my phone, it’s just 9pm. I don’t usually go to bed early so I was very much awake.I thought about everything and the situation of my new life. I knew I had lost the job at the coffee shop and also the job at the club because Zoe couldn’t cover for me today as well.
I was going to either find another job because I really needed to complete my money for college. I had given my dad all I saved up for rent ,it wasn’t complete but he’d have to make do with it .
Feeling thirsty, I stand up to go get some water from the kitchen. I hear a few voices and I perceive the strong stench of cigarettes and alcohol. I knew it was probably Vitali and his friends.
I was being careful not to make any noise when I entered the kitchen.
The kitchen was a large one and well furnished too.
I opened the fridge, collected a bottle of water and walked to the counter to grab a glass.
As I headed back to my room I heard the sound of gunshot and I stilled. My heart was thumping really loudly I have never heard a gunshot in my life.
I looked downstairs and I could see Vitali with a gun, he had just shot a man and two other guys put his corpse in a sack and left.
Vitali looked up and our eyes met.
I ran away in fear to my room.
Did I just witness someone being killed?
Did Vitali really kill that man?
Am I an acquaintance of a murderer?
Should I report to the police ?
I didn’t have the answers.
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! Livia” he called out angrily.“ Vitali …is there a problem? ” she appeared looking from
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
BETH’S POV : New York City, the city for flashy broadways, exclusive shops, expensive apartments and high flying business tycoons is where the land of opportunity lies. Or so people think.To me it’s the city for depression, unaffordable rent, unbearable traffic, screaming people, bustling roads, gamblers and many more.And in this concrete jungle lies one of the most world famous multi national telecommunications company; The Marino telecom. I looked at it in awe letting my eyes roam the gigantic building as the taxi I boarded drove past. People were walking in and out , everyone looking so busy and professional.I wonder what it’d feel like to work in the corporate world ,what it’d be like to work under a man like Vitali Marino. I have heard stories of his ruthlessness and how he never hesitates to get his staff fired at the slightest act of misconduct but a part of me felt it was all exaggerated, the stories of his ruthlessness and all, surely no one could be that evil.The taxi d
I had never seen a gun up close before. I felt paralyzed; the amount of shock I had witnessed today was enough to give me a heart attack.The room was so silent, you could hear a pin drop, I could feel my dad’s fear. My heartbeat was so loud I could hear it over the deafening silence. Crak!He cocked the gun, and the fear of losing my father pushed me off the floor, and I found myself clutching at his leg, begging him to take me but forgive my father and let him leave.He didn’t seem to like that, but I didn’t care; I couldn’t lose the only person I had left in this world.I felt two strong arms lift me. It was one of his men.“I’d send my lawyer over tomorrow”And without as much as a glance at me or my dad he was gone.I quickly ran to my dad’s side, he had some bruises and cuts on his face. He seemed to be in so much pain. I got an ice pack from the fridge so he could place it on his bruises while I tried to administer some first aid to the cuts. ****************Later that eveni
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 toouncomfortable, 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 bitof mascara and a pink lip gloss
