AlexanderIt was just another busy day for Alexander at the office. He was wearing his glasses and was checking the files of one of his clients. He was sick and tired of the stupidity of his staff. He growled in frustration and called for his manager."Yes sir? How can I help you?" The man asked."What the hell is this Ricardo? Why there are so many fucking errors in these files? Who the fuck prepared these files?" Ricardo had been working for Alexander for a very long time but that never stopped him from getting mad at every person."I'm sorry sir, I will just find out who was in charge of these files and let you know," Ricardo said and left his office with the files in his hand.Alexander was slowly losing his forbearance. The burden of the company and the mind filled with the thoughts of that girl only. He was already going insane. He wanted to see her more, feel her exquisite unblemished body...Unblemished.Is her body unblemished? This question was running in his head. He knew
EmmaEmma tried her hardest to sleep. She would never have left the house if she had known what would happen as a result of her departure. She felt terrible for Martha, who was almost in trouble because of her. But, at the same time, she understood it was no one's fault...but the cause for Alexander's rage remained a mystery to her.Her spine tingled at the thought of that man. She'd be better off without him around her. But she knew that wasn't going to happen. It was also his home, so he was free to visit the mansion whenever he pleased.She got out of bed and put on her clothes. She combed her hair into a ponytail and proceeded to the kitchen to know of her responsibilities.When she approached the kitchen, she observed other maids whispering to each other. She was perplexed, but she didn't bother to think about it any longer. When she saw Martha, she asked for her chores, and Martha handed her a list of the things she needed to complete. She accepted it and got to work on her task
EmmaOh god! Why did this happen to me?! Out of every girl here he chose me to go with him?! Emma didn't know what to do at that time, she didn't want to go with him."Son, are you sure it is her you want to take? I mean she is very young and new, the other maids are more experienced than her honey, why don't you choose someone else," Emma was silently praying that Alexander will listen to his mother."My decision is initial mom. I chose her and that's final," her legs were trembling. She didn't know how long she'd be able to hold herself."But you should ask her as well. What if she doesn't want to leave?" He looked at Emma and said, "Then she will lose her job," he said and left without saying another word.Emma looked at Martha hoping that she could help in some way. But, her eyes didn't even meet Emma's. She just avoided her.She felt someone's hand clutching hers. She looked beside and saw Venessa who gave her an apologetic look and a sad smile."I'm sorry, Emma. I don't know wh
The Kings were at the dining table, everyone was sitting in their situated seats. Mr & Mrs. King were talking with each other about something, Sofia and Lucas were busy with their phones. And Alexander... his eyes were as always looking for that one girl. His father didn't know about his announcement yet. He wouldn't be happy and Alexander knew that. But, he could care less about his father's bullshit lecture.After a few minutes, the maids began to appear with various meal trays in their hands. He didn't even look at a single maid since his eyes were desperate to see her. He didn't mind if he was a little too harsh on her. He was going to obtain what he desired. And he was just interested in her at that moment. The heinous ruse, on the other hand, would break her... but that was exactly what he wanted. He intended to break her till she gave up. He intended to put her in a position where she would have no one alongside her except him.He was unaware that his wicked smile was seen by
She tugged in her clothes and other necessary stuff inside her bag. She wished she would have been doing it for a positive reason. She was told that Alexander had given her four days and that on the fourth day, she would be in his house, the man's house from whom she was fleeing. Mrs. King, thankfully, persuaded Alexander to allow her a few days. That wasn't like it was going to be a solution for her. Worst of all, he planned to take her on her birthday. It infuriated her. She might also dislike her own birthday.Sighing, she chained her bag and kept it beside the bed. She didn't want to leave that place, she was tearing up thinking she might not even be able to see Martha and Venessa, worse, she might not even see Caroline again!She glanced at the calendar that was hanging on the, it said 10th august.Her birthday was on 14th August. She was never really excited about her birthday or never hated it but, at that time she was truly hating it.Alexander was doing that intentionally. Hi
Emma"Wow, Emma...th-that's a lot..." Venessa stated, flabbergasted. Emma sighed. She knew it was a lot. A few hours ago, Martha told her that Alexander was going to increase her salary and the amount was $800 a week. Why would he pay a maid so much? Maids normally didn't get paid more than $400 and he was ready to give her double the amount she was paid. She understood why he was doing this; he simply wanted her to stay. He had some men spying on Miss Garcia, installing cameras and using her against Emma, and then there was the salary thing.Emma sat beside Vanessa on the bed and exhaled deeply."That's a really big amount though, Emma. What are you planning now?" Venessa asked."I don't know. But, I have to work there anyway. I cannot leave this job.""Emma, you know if you are not happy with your job. You can leave it anytime," Venessa placed her hand on Emma's shoulder and said.She looked at her feet helplessly. She was right. Emma could leave anytime but, could she anymore? He
Author's POV:She lightly dropped her small pouch beside her bag full of clothes and looked at the bedroom. It wasn't what she was expecting to see. The room was full of purple and white balloons.Just how I like... But how.... who did this?She took a few more steps towards the wall that was full of balloons. She frowned when she noticed something written on the wall. She pushed the balloons aside to have a better view.Her jaw dropped when she saw what was written on the wall."Happy Birthday, butterfly."Butterfly? It's him who did this... of course, it's him. This is his house who else will do it?It was not written, it was plastered on the wall with colorful papers that were cut into alphabets. It looked beautiful and mesmerizing. Emma couldn't remove her eyes from all the decorations. Yes, it was true. She always wanted these things for her birthday when she was a kid. Although she never regretted the birthdays she celebrated with Caroline, she just couldn't believe her eyes s
EmmaA middle-aged woman approached her and handed her the maid outfit, instructing her to wear it. Emma didn't spend much time in changing into that attire.The woman appeared to be stern and demanding. She had a blank expression on her face and was not as chatty as Martha. With a severe expression, she handed her the clothing. That disturbed Emma because she was concerned that the woman would not be as courteous to her as Martha had been.Of course! Not everyone's the same.She sighed heavily as she examined herself in the large floor touch mirror. It appeared to be rather good. It didn't fit her figure well, but it was pleasant to wear. It was a white full-sleeved top with a dark blue skirt that went just below her knee. It didn't have the feel of a second skin.Why does he want me to wear this kind of outfit? I didn't have it before.It wasn't like she didn't like it. She surprisingly did. But Alexander was not the type of person who would think about other people's comfort.Emma
Alexander had lost all his trust in her following her deception from the previous day. Her wrists and legs were shackled so she couldn't move them even a fraction. She lay on the comfortable bed with a blanket on top of her and her sore eyes sealed to the ceiling. It looked like she did not have anything else to look at. She attempted to free herself from the shackles that bound her arms and legs, but it only resulted in more agony. Her hands were completely immobile because of the excruciating agony.Alexander was seated on a leather chair next to the bed in the demon's lair. He was dressed in his typical cold exposure and had a cigarette between his index and middle fingers. His gaze was fixed on Emma, who gave him a response to his stare. He placed the poison rolled in paper in between his bottom and upper lips and took a long puff for the last time as the cigarette reached its end. As he exhaled the poisonous gas, it filled the room with a thick, smoky stench.He stood up and sat b
Emma96 hours and 50 minutes have passed. Emma was locked up in that same bedroom of her captor's. Her eyes were sealed at a certain surface of the white ceiling. Her eyes were dull, they looked as if they belonged to a dead person. Dull and lifeless. It didn't shed any more tears, they were dried and her tears were now parched on her cheeks.She wasn't wearing the same clothes anymore, instead, she was in a white knee-high simple dress and matching undergarments. Her arms were sore, she pulled on the ropes that were fastened to her wrists and almost screamed in pain. She had been in that position for two days straight, her wrists were on fire, and her arms went numb from the pain. She tried to scream but it was interrupted by the thick material that was placed on her mouth. The cloth muffled her agonizing screams and painful whimpers.The bedroom wasn't soundproof, so the maids and the guards could hear her screams but Alexander warned them to not untie her or let her out of the bedr
Emma read his writing and couldn't stop shaking her head along with her shivering body. This can't be happening! He can't be in love with me. She kept chanting this inside her head, it was unbelievable but unfortunately, it was true. Her body went limp and she fell on the sofa with a loud thud. She thought she couldn't be more unfortunate now. He was in love with her, another reason why it would be hard for her to escape. It was difficult enough with his house surrounded by guards and his vicious eyes that never even left her alone for a moment. She squeezed her eyes shut for the 100th time in an hour and let the tears of sorrow and angst drop down her eyes.Alexander's eyes opened slightly, his eyebrows furrowed, and wondering where did the thudding sound come from. He squinted his eyes before opening them widely and found his Emma sitting on his sofa with some papers in her hands. He threw his head back on the pillow and let out a low grunt.Now what? She's gonna sit there and bega
Before she could apprehend, she was thrown inside the bedroom and heard the door being locked. Emma gulped, swallowing the fear that was rising inside her. She was terrified to look behind her because she knew he was standing. He was standing right behind her. She knew the moment she would turn around; his cold eyes will confront hers. The fear would be so intense that she would not be able to move. She would want to run for the door, but the door was locked. She would be thrown inside again by the Devil who was ready to assault her anytime he desired.So, she didn't turn around. She didn't look behind, instead, she stared out the window that was right beside the bed. The bedroom was astonishing, it was massive, more than 500 square feet. That was the biggest bedroom she had ever laid her eyes on. The sheets were painted with navy blue and white shade, the blanket was lying peacefully on top of the bedsheets and the two pearly white pillows were resting on the head of the bed. She cou
Her bruised bottom lip quivered in both pain and the cold atmosphere. She wasn't wearing any warm clothes nor did she bring any warm clothes with her. It was not cold outside but in the place, she was in. She was wearing the same red top.She was sitting on the cold hard floor of the darkened room. Her bare half bottom was feeling the coldness of the floor which made her shiver even more. She scrunched her eyes and tried to figure out where she was. But there was little or no light in the whole room. Her heart was beating fast as if the thudding of her pounding heart could be heard by anyone if they were with her. Unfortunately, there wasn't a single soul there.She was never a people person, her shy, introverted and timorous nature had always been a hindrance in any communication she wanted to initiate.At that moment, she loathed being alone in the darkness, and it made her crave some amity and fellowship.She swallowed her fear and strain and placed her palms on the floor, putting
29th October 2000It was one of the darkest nights, he was in his room, curled up in a ball while lying on his bed. The beads of sweat dripped down his forehead to his bedsheets. His body quivered and he found it difficult to open his eyes. He gasped for air.Another nightmare broke into another anarchical repose. The ticking of the clock stopped and was replaced by the sound of the tintinnabulation. Alexander's eyes were wide open when he heard the ding of the clock bell. His room was encompassed by darkness. But that was how he liked it. He liked being in the dark because the tenebrosity was the only thing that could perceive him and was parallel to him. He was not more than seven years old. But he understood the clandestine of the darkness.At that moment, his nightmare was more violent and brutal. The loud gasps coming out of him and the continuous flowing of the egestive on his body were the evidence. His hand reached for the lamp on his bedside and switched it on, defeating the
AlexanderIt was phenomenal, her being in his arms and her little fragile body pressed with his hard one, it was something he had always imagined with her. Her warmth was soothing him, all the tiredness and strain vanished in thin air.His body was relaxed, but he could not say the same about her squirming and quivering body. He perceived she was scared, but he was not willing to let her go. How could he? He wanted her close to him.He had maintained his distance from her for a long time, but how long could hold his beast?It only caused him anguish and desolation. Alexander perceived the effect she had on him was harmful. Menacing and treacherous. But he could not find himself being able to stay away from her.The sound of her soft cries and sobs coerced him to embrace her a little tighter. She loathed it, but he didn't care. He wanted her by his side and she would be, whether she liked it or not. It is better for her to learn as soon as possible that she is never getting away from m
Her eyes would not shift from the luxury polished window before her. The beads of the rain were as clear as a crystal, and the pitter-patter sound of the drizzles was giving her a bizarre comfort, as the raindrops battered on the glossy window. It had been raining all day, the day was breezy and boisterous. She glanced around the clock and found out it was 2 p.m.How long has it been raining? She thought to herself. It was not a usual thing to rain all day but she liked it. She liked looking out at the rain. But, she wished she could get out of the house, into the garden, just to feel the drizzles on her hand. It was not possible, she works there, and she could not just think about enjoying her time in the rain when there are tons of work due.However, she perked up and walked towards the window. She could at least watch closely, right? Her palm involuntarily touched the window and she could feel the moisture on her skin and the coldness of the breezy weather. How delightful sight was
The Christmas holiday was close, and some of the girls who worked there already received their letter of approval for the holiday break. She did not know if Alexander allowed them to leave for Christmas break, or if Ela was in charge of things like this. Although, she did hear Ela talking to Alexander last night over the call. She did not mean to eavesdrop, it was unintentional.They were standing in the kitchen, talking to each other. They were happy to finally be able to leave for their home after a very long time. For a moment, she thought of her previous Christian holidays with Caroline. Emma's face lit up with a bright smile thinking she would be seeing her very soon. She could not wait! Christmas without family is displeasing, this is the day families spend time together without any fights or disagreement and she wished to spend all her Christmas with Caroline."Oh my god! I cannot wait to go back to my parents!" Squealed Yuna. She was the first to get her letter of approval. Emm
