CHAPTER FIVE; HELPLESS

CHRISTODIA

When I came to, I was on a bed. There were no blood stains on me or the dress I was wearing. I signed, thinking it was all dream but I quickly realized it wasn't as my stomach hurt when I tried to sit. I was in a white dress which wasn't mine, which I wasn't wearing previously.

Gradually, everything that had happened came crushing down on me and I screamed. A door bust opened and Kwame came in. he looked around as if trying to identify the danger before his eyes fell on me. Does he know he is the danger? He came towards and started checking me for injuries before asking what was wrong.

"You," I responded. "You are wrong. You killed someone. You shot the guy… I saw it… you killed him…" I looked at him with teary wide eyes and he looked at me as if I was describing the weather to him. He wore a blank face.

"Yes, I killed him so what? He was hitting have you forgotten that part?" He questioned.

"But you killed. The police are going to come after you… you killed someone."

"Babe, I'm untouchable. I pay the police well to look the other way. You have no idea of who I'm." and with that he got up from the bed.

'I'm going outside for a bit, I will be right back and you my girl, you should finish the meal I have prepared for you.' He pointed at something and I turned to look at it. It was rice and groundnut soup. 'Finish it or you won't like what will happen next.' He left.

I didn't need to be told twice. I ate the food. My tears won't stop flowing. This is what my life has come to. God, why me? I know what I did wasn't good but this is too much of a punishment for a one-night stand. I wept once again.

After eating, I went to the kitchen to wash the plates and then went back to bed. All thoughts of escaping have disappeared. My focus now is to stay alive. Yes, that is my main aim. To stay alive. I had to come up with a plan.

According to all the story books and movies I have watched about dangerous people, they seem to like submissiveness, so I guess I would have to obey his every whim until he gets tired of me gradually.

Or, I could do that until I have won his trust and then escape. That is a brilliant plan. I am going to make him trust me and then, when he lowers his guard, I will escape.

I should prove my wealth and pave the way to his heart. I got up. "There is something I can do in this house, yes, I should cook and clean." I looked round the house but it was spotlessly clean.

I went down to the kitchen area; it was also clean. I mean clean; no food stuffs nothing. This place looks a house nobody uses. Well, what did I expect? I'm probably in one of his many houses somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

I pepped through the windows and I was right.

The house looked like it was in the middle of nowhere. There were trees all-round the compound. It stretched far and wide. There should be a wall but I guess it behind all those trees.

As the day went by and the night sets in, I saw light somewhere down the hill, which confirmed by suspicion that the house was on a high hill.

Probably, a mountain because all the little lights I can see seems to be far below. If it is, then I just have run down. Even if it will take me a day, I will be able to get to the city.

I could also spot some guards going up and down the place. They were about five but I will have to go the other end to confirm it. Who knows, there maybe more.

As I was looking through the window, I a car come up the hill. Right, there is definitely a road. I watched as it stopped outside the house and the monster come down from it. I hurried up to the bedroom I was in and laid on the bed.

Sitting up on the bed, I looked at him as he entered the room. He smiled at me when he saw me and I smiled back.

"Welcome back home."

He looked surprised but then said, "whatever you are planning to do, you better stop."

I just smiled. I have to play this well. Of course, he wouldn't be convinced if I change suddenly. I have to play this well.

"I just smiled back… you smiled first. I… am not p…planning a…anything." I managed to say.

"Well," he held me then kissed me fully on the lips as he said "I like it. I think it will be good to hear that every time I come home. Not bad. Not bad at all" he said smiling down at me. Did I mention that he was tall?

"I will do anything you say. I will be docile and obey your every command. Just don't hurt me, okay?" I tried to sound as earnest as possible.

He looked at me and asked if I was serious and I said yes. He then dragged me to towards the bed and then, sat down with his legs wide open.

"Make me feel good, dear." He said whiles looking at me with expectant eyes.

I got the hint and so I did. I got down on my knees and made him feel good. Even though I was a little bit clumsy, I got the hand of it and did it with his guidance. What I wasn't prepare for was his load in my mouth. He held my jaw as if daring me to spit it out. But, I didn't. I swallowed it quickly so as to not even think about it.

"Good girl. For that I will give you a reward. Tell me whatever you want and I will make it happen."

Well, that was easy, but I didn't know what to say. Among all the things I wanted, he leaving me alone, topped it all but, saying that was a bad move. He has already told me he wasn't going to let me go, ever. And I don't want to test his patience. He killed a man without blinking an eye, I should be careful.

'Can I speak to my father?'

He looked like he was considering it. It was actually a reasonable request and so he agreed. I was given my phone. God, I have missed my phone. It's amazing how the little device that has been placed in my psalms looked like a savior right now but I knew this was a test to see if I would call just my father or someone else. I called my father.

This man was shocked I was actually calling him. He said I should focus on my man and let him and the rest of my family be. It turns out that Kwame has indeed sorted my family out. He has given them a huge amount of money as my bride prize and has forgiven and forgotten the previous debts.

I realized then that, I have been sold. But do I stay with this beast just because my father owes him? I mean I don't owe this guy anything. It's my dad that owes him not me.

Nonetheless, I know that there is no way out now because my whole family is now indebted to this guy and if I did escape, my entire family will be hunted down and probably gunned down just like that man. I mean he didn't even show a bit of remorse when he killed him.

I am officially this man's property.
