CHAPTER 6_Where Were You Running Off To?

PADRINO

He cursed as he ran out of the exits to find her. He wondered how she had escaped. He had watched her roam around the room through the camera. He could not believe she was out already; he had really underestimated a great hacker. She had fooled him by acting like she was sick; he ruffled his hair in frustration. He felt like a fool; who had given her a system and the map of his building? This was the first time she was in his home; how could she know so much? She was blindfolded when she was taken in.

He reached the open spaces and found three unconscious men.

“Shit!”

The rest of the men that trailed behind him surrounded the area and began searching for her. Alexander searched along with them; he was going to teach her a great lesson if he could find her. Were his men pussies? How could they let a lady take them all down?

After several minutes of searching, Alexander heard the sound of his mind being dragged to the ground. Sofia was being pulled towards him; she was chained with a long chain, just like she was when he bought her. She was kicking and screaming for them to let her go; her hair was ruined, and as she struggled, It scattered, covering her face and getting into her open mouth.

The men who were pulling her were three, and Alexander’s lips curled into a smile. There was no way his men could ever let him down. Sofia was brought towards him and thrown to his feet.

“We have her, Padrino.” One of his men spoke up. “She was climbing the high fence.”

Alexander bent down to her and knelt on one knee. She kept on amazing him; first, she hacked into his system, faked her sickness, and tried to escape by climbing the fence. He tried to cup her face in his hand, but she shook her head away from his grip. Her hair was falling over her face, making him unable to see her expression.

He shifted her hair away from her face and tugged it behind her ears. She scowled at him and looked away from him. She tried releasing her hand from the chains, but it only broke into her skin. Leaving a bruise.

"Yulia, when will you know that you belong to me?" He questioned.

She raised her head, and her gaze met his. "That's because I don't!"

Her gaze was fierce, and she meant every word she said. Her eyes were daring him to do his worst. She was beanocking for him to do his worst, and he was going to do it.

"Say that one more time!" He dared her.

"I said I don't belong to you!" She yelled. "I don't belong to you; you don't own me, and you never will."

He grabbed a gun from a man nearby and pointed it at her head. He pulled the trigger; he was expecting her to act scared, but she was still glaring at him. Her gaze still held a look that said, 'Shoot me if you dare.'

"Say more words, and I am going to burst your brains up." He threatened.

Her lips curled up into a smile. "Bullets?" She scoffed. "I have been shot countless times by my father, and I am not dead. I don't know if the bullet in the body hurts anymore."

Alexander pressed the gun against her head. "Well, let's try it out. Would you be alive if I shot you in the head?"

She shook her head. "You wouldn't dare. You can't."

Alexander hated to be challenged or told he couldn't do something.

"I can shoot you in the head, but there are a lot of things I would love to do to you before killing you. Killing you now is a waste of purchase." He muttered with a grin on his face.

He pulled back his gun and tossed it to the man beside him. The man caught it skillfully.

She struggled on the chain again. Alexander cupped her face in his hand and forced her to look at him. Her eyes met him again, and she gave him a weird look.

"Look at me while I speak to you." He ordered.

"Why look at you when you are nothing but ugly?" She retorted.

His fingers dug into her cheekbones as he pulled her face closer to his and leaned in.

"How many times do I have to tell you that you can't speak that way?" He questioned.

"And how many times have I told you that you don't own me?"

"I own you." He replied. "And you will always belong to me."

"In your dreams." She spat. "I can pay you back the money from my purchase; $50,000 is easy money to get."

His lips curled into an evil grin. "What if I say you can't buy your freedom?"

"I can."

"If I wanted my money back," He muttered. "I will sell you off to be sold in another auction."

Sofia's eyes widened. "No way! You can't do that! You have no right to sell me off like I am a piece of clothing."

"Well, you are not a piece of clothing. I can clarify it for you: you were sold off like a doll and a toy to be played with by the one who purchased you. How dare you try to escape?" He didn't wait for her to speak. "Where were you running off to? Your father? The one who sold you off? I know he promised to kill you if he found you unsold and free. Are you forgetting all of that? Do you think you will live if you step out of this fence?"

The expression on her face changed as she stared at him. She bit her tongue, trying to control her emotions.

"Who cares about him? My father is a motherfucker, and I don't regard him as a father anymore. He is a worthless piece of trash, and if you think I can't survive if I get away from here, You are mistaken; I will survive."

Alexander chuckled. "Impressive. Only if your bravery could save you."

He released her face, and his finger left a mark on her. Blood slowly dripped from the mark and rolled down her neck.

"Take her back inside and chain her to the bed." Alexander ordered.

"Chain me to the bed?" She yelled. "Are you crazy?"

At the mention of crazy, Alexander lunged at her and wrapped his hand around her neck.

"What did I say?" He questioned. "You have no right to speak to me that way!"

She began squirming as his hand tightened around her neck even harder. She was choking and couldn't breathe. She tried to raise her hand, but the heavy chains stopped her.

"I hope you have so much of this energy when I punish you... in bed." He taunted.

He released her, and she coughed, gasping for air. He stood on his feet and glanced over at his men.

"Take her to her room and do as I say. Search her room for any device." He ordered and walked away, leaving her with them.

Before he left, he heard her whisper.

"You will pay for this."
