Chapter 6

My boss took me to his mansion. This place was so magnificent, like a palace. I've never been to a place as beautiful as this before.

I stood in silence, terrified, facing the luxurious dining table in front of me. My heart kept thudding, thinking about what my boss would do to me. He locked me in this room along with a maid who was standing near me, watching over me.

It startled me when the door to the room opened and I saw my boss walking into the room. He smiled at me and sat on the dining chair.

“You can go now,” he said to the maid.

"Yes, sir," she replied with a polite bow and walked out of the room.

My boss cuts the steak that was on the plate in front of him. Then he moved his eyes to mine. “How long do you want to stand there? Sit and eat,” he said.

“No! I don't want to sit and I don't want to eat. I want to go now! You have no right to lock me up in this place! And give me back my phone right now!” I said, trying to be brave.

He said nothing and just smiled teasingly at me.

I bit my lips while clenching my palms, holding back my anger. I can't stand him anymore. His behavior is driving me crazy. I have to leave this place no matter what. Even if I have to jump out of the window.

When I took a step to leave, he suddenly grabbed my arm and made me sit sideways on his lap. “Let me go!” I said, struggling.

He gripped my arms firmly so I couldn't move. His dominating eyes fixed on mine. “I have already told you, I could not let you go. You are mine now. Don't piss me off, or you won't be able to bear the consequences,” he said in a deep voice.

I avoided his eyes. The way he looked at me terrified me.

He then pokes a piece of steak with a fork and brought it to my mouth. “Eat this. You didn't eat lunch. You must be hungry now,” he said.

I looked away from his face with my mouth closed. I don't want to eat the steak he gave me.

He put the fork back on the plate. It startled me when he slipped his hand behind my neck as he pulled me closer to him and kissed my lips.

I pushed his chest with my hand to release my lips from his. “Why did you kiss me?” I asked, then wiped my lips.

“I'll kiss you again if you won't open your mouth,” he replied, staring intimidatingly into my eyes.

I stared at him in silence, breathing in fear.

He took the fork and brought it back to my mouth. “Eat this,” he said.

I dare not go against his orders. I then opened my mouth and ate the steak. He smiled with satisfaction at my obedience.

He put the fork back on the plate, then looked me in the eye. “You must eat more. How can you serve me if your body is this weak?” he said in a raspy voice.

I swallowed the steak, as well as my fear when he smiled at me.

I then heard someone's footsteps walking into the room. I felt relieved when I saw Carson stood facing us. I begged him to help me with my eyes, but he ignored me and just smiled at me.

He then moved his gaze to my boss's eyes. “Sir, Carolina Blonde is here. She wants to see you now,” he said.

My boss thought for a moment, then he said, “Prepare everything.”

“Yes, sir,” Carson replied.

My boss then looked me in the eye. “Finish your dinner. I'll see you in my room.” 

My heart beats faster and faster; I can hear it in my ears.

I immediately got up from his lap as he released my arm from his grip. He then got up from the chair and walked out of the room.

“Please help me. I want to get out of here,” I pleaded with Carson as I grabbed his arm. 

“I'm sorry. I can't help you. Just do what he said and don't make him angry,” he said with a serious look, then smiled. He took his arm away from me and walked out of the room.

I stood still, terrified. I felt so helpless and didn't know what to do. I was trapped with the beast in his castle and no one could help me.
