Chapter 4

I sighed and leaned my back against the bus seat. I'm on my way to work right now.

I couldn't sleep last night. Fear and anxiety-filled my mind. When I saw my boss smiling devilishly at me, I realized I had fallen into his trap. Everything was his plan to make me work for him.

I never wanted to see him again, but now I can't run from him. I signed the contract so I can't quit my job. I was trapped in his clutches for a year.

I have called Amy many times but her cellphone was not active since yesterday. She didn't want to answer my calls and deliberately hid from me.

I woke up from my thoughts and got out when the bus had stopped at the bus stop. I then forced my feet to walk to my workplace.

“Angela, our manager wants to see you now,” Eva said before I sat on the chair at my workspace.

I was silent and wondered why she wanted to see me. I then walked towards her workroom with anxiety.

When I got there, the door to the room was already open. I then walked into the room and stood facing her. “Good morning, ma'am. Eva said you wanted to see me,” I said politely.

“Hm,” she said, while signing the paper on her desk.

She then looked me in the eye. “Angela, we will change your position. You will work as our boss's secretary from now on,” she said.

My heart suddenly beat rapidly. “No, please. I've never worked as a secretary before. I can't do the job. Please, let me keep working as a receptionist,” I begged her.

She smiled evilly, then stood up from the chair and walked over to me. “Don't worry. Your job is only to serve him,” she said into my eyes. She then grabbed my arm. "Let's go. Our boss is waiting for you.”

“No! Please! Wait!” I said as she led me out of the room.

“Sir, I have told Angela that she will work as your secretary,” Olivia said when we stood facing our boss, who was sitting in a chair behind the desk in his workroom.

“You can go now,” he said, keeping his gaze on me.

“Yes, sir,” she replied politely.

I wanted to stop her as she took a step and walked out of the room, but I couldn't open my mouth to speak. I felt my tongue freeze.

“Angela, it's so nice to see you again.”

I moved my gaze from the door to look at my boss. I held my breath in fear as our eyes met.

He smiled; he really enjoyed seeing my fear.

I gripped my skirt tightly as I gathered my courage. “Sir, I want to quit my job. I don't want to work here,” I said, trying to be brave.

He stared at me in silence before he opened his mouth to speak.

“Why? Why you don't want to work here? You don't like your job, or are you afraid of me?” he asked in a deep voice.

His domineering eyes made my body quiver. I'm afraid to answer his questions. I avoided his eyes, trying to calm my rapid heartbeat.

He got up from his chair and walked over to me. I took a step back as he stood before me. I breathe nervously as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

“Get off me! Or I'll scream!” I said, while struggling.

He gripped my arms firmly. “Scream and it will be the last sound that comes out of your mouth,” he said in a whisper, his menacing eyes fixed on mine.

I stared at him with my mouth closed. I feel so helpless; I am so afraid of him. My entire body is cold and trembling.

He smiled at my fear, then he said, “You should be afraid of me. You will regret it if you make me angry.”

Tears rolled down my cheeks. “Why? Why you treating me like this? I've never done anything wrong to you. Please, let me go. I beg you,” I begged into his eyes.

He avoided my eyes and wiped the tears on my cheeks gently. His eyes then back to mine. “I can't let you go. I want you to be mine. Never dare to run from me again. I'll find you wherever you hide. Be docile and do all my will, or I'll make you cry and beg me for mercy,” he said in a deep voice.

I closed my eyes tightly as he kissed my lips. I'm too scared to refuse him. I let him rape my lips. My heart is beating faster and faster. I felt like mice in the lion's grip and there was no way to escape.
