Chapter 6

Bailey's POV

I sat there, the document in hand, still trying to understand if this was all a joke.

"Do you lack the knowledge of how to read? Do you want someone to read it for you?"

I was done with all his insults. Tired of them in fact. Who did he think he is?

"I can read okay?" I raised my voice and all the workers and guards turned to look at me with a horrified expression.

"Don't you dare raise your voice at me". He slammed his hands on the table and I felt it shake. He stood up angrily, stalking to my side.

"Since you can read, what is keeping you so long?" He whispered coldly into my ear.

" Nothing". I gulped. Tears had begun streaming down my face.

"Do you really think I have all the time in the world Bailey? I work day and night unlike you that works at night only".

His voice was cold. And the icy words he spilled kept hitting my heart. I don't know what hurt more. The words he was saying to me or the words that were written on the document.

"Sign this contract. After bearing my desired offspring, I shall reject you. For now, you're just for pleasure my Omega doll". He whispered into my ears.

I couldn't take it any longer. I got up from the chair and pushed past him, heading for the stairs, my hand over my mouth to stop myself from busting out loud into tears.

A thug came out from nowhere and blocked my way up the stairs.

"Excuse me mister. You're in my way if you haven't noticed". I was boiling with rage. He ignored me, looking straight ahead. I could not see his eyes due to the shade he wore but I know they were dark and cold.

"I said excuse me!" I raised my voice.

"Did you really think you can walk out on me in my house. In fact anywhere? Not as long as my name remains Alessandro Hall". He rounded the corner from the living room and stared at me, hands in pocket.

At this point, I just wanted to cry. What was I saying? I was already crying!

"What do you want from me?" I was shouting, allowing the tears flow freely.

"I believe that has been clearly stated in the contract you left in the dining. Now before I make you, go sign the contract". I looked between him and the man by the staircase.

"Are you choosing the easy way or the hard way?"

I fell to the ground, crying. I can't remember the last time I ever cried. It was years ago. The night I had my first shift. Asides that, I never cried. But now, my walls came crashing down.

Before I knew it, I was lifted into the air by none other than Alessandro Hall. He had me slung over his shoulder and I hit his back with my fist.

"Let me down". I yelled.

I was pretty sure everyone else was enjoying the show I was putting on. Or maybe, this was a regular thing to them. Either way, no body made a single sound. The only sound was from me and Alessandro's footsteps as they echoed across the tiled floor.

He deposited me on the chair I sat before.

"Just sign the contract Bailey. Trust me, I don't want to force you and if I do, you will regret it Bailey". I couldn't. I just couldn't. Who rejects their mate after they bear them their desired offspring?

"Damn it Bailey! Sign the damn contract!" He yelled furiously, slamming his fist on the table. I flinched with a gasp.

"If you don't sign this contract........I promise you I'll lock you up in a room and do so many things to you you won't know when you'll wish for death".

At that moment, it felt like Connor's voice replaced his.

"I promise you Bai...ley, if you don't behave, I'll lock you up in a room and do things to you you won't know when you'll wish for death".

That had been one of the worst days of my life. The burn mark on my back, thankfully covered by a huge tattoo, was a reminder of that night. And just as he had said, I didn't know when I started calling on death.

With that horrid memory, I took in a shaky breath, grabbed the pen that was on the table and signed my signature in the required place. I felt like I had just sealed a deal with the devil.

"There there Bailey. Now everything's fine". He grabbed my chin and turned my face upwards to him.

"Don't you feel better after signing the contract?"

I gulped, my throat suddenly very dry. His eyes searched mine, waiting for me to defy him but I was smarter than him.

"I feel better". I croaked out. He stared at me and for a brief moment, hurt flashed through his eyes and it went back to its normal cold gray.

"That's my doll". I gulped painfully.

"Now go upstairs, ready yourself. My female assistant will be here shortly to escort you to the boutique to get a dress. I have an event tonight and you're coming as my mistress".

I wanted so much to object but he beat me to it.

"Mind you. You don't have a choice". I nodded and got up from the chair slowly.

"Who told you you're to leave immediately? Have breakfast". He ordered.

I looked at the food in front of me. My appetite was already far gone. The hunger I felt earlier had disappeared. I felt I was going to throw up if anything passed my throat.

"Eat". I slowly picked up the spoon. The salad in front of me suddenly looked like poop.

"You don't want me to feed you Bailey. Eat and then go ready yourself".

I nodded.

" Now I have work to do and don't bother escaping or starving yourself. I have eyes everywhere in this house".

With that, I heard his retracting steps. I turned around. The thug from before was there. Another one was opposite me, and another and another.

Alessandro's last words echoed in my head.

I have eyes everywhere in this house.
