Bella walked slowly to the kitchen where she was called. 'What was the worst that could happen?' she asked herself, 'they'll fire me' she continued in her mind, 'it's not going to be the end of the world for me'. She stopped as she had gotten to the kitchen door. She placed her hand on the door knob, took a deep breath and opened it. She walked to where Celia was, waiting. Celia wasted no time in delivering the information she had for her.

"There's a new change in your activities from this morning" Celia started and Bella raised an eyebrow. She was expecting an immediate sack from work but that was not what Celia seemed to be indicating.

Celia continued, "Sir Alex has specifically ordered that you be given the duties of his personal maid"

Bella's heart skipped a beat. "What?" She raised her voice slightly. "Why?" She asked.

"He didn't say. He gave the order and has requested to see you immediately in his room" Celia replied and stared at the obviously perplexed Bella.

"I advise you don't keep him waiting" Celia added and left Bella alone in the kitchen.

Bella slumped on the stool beside her. Alexander's actions were strange to her. That was not what she was expecting from him. 'Why does he want me to serve him only?' she asked herself. 'What are his plans?' she asked herself again but could not get the answers. She stood up and braced herself as she left for Alexander's room.

"Good morning sir" Bella greeted Alexander as soon as she entered the room.

"What is good about the morning?" Alexander replied to her and stood up from his bed.

His countenance was strict and Bella could feel that he was angry though his voice was calm. He walked closer to her and Bella took a step back in fear.

"I know you are wondering why I had given the orders that you become my personal maid" Bella raised her eyes to him. He continued, "Perhaps you're expecting that I fire you immediately, aren't you?" He asked. Bella did not reply but lowered her gaze. There was a moment of silence as Alexander peered into the uncomfortable Bella, who just stood there with her head bent down.

"You know, I've been wondering, what the hell gave you the guts to raise your hands at me" Alexander bit his teeth as he spoke. "No one has ever insulted me like that, not even a useless maid"

He took steps closer to Bella and she kept shifting back till her back collided with the wall and she gasped softly. Alexander could feel her fear as he brought his body very close to hers. He placed his right hand on the wall beside her, looking down at her and Bella's heart raced. She could not stare at his face.

"Do you know what should be done to you to avenge that insult?" Alexander asked her.

Bella could feel his breath on her. She knew what was going to happen next. Alexander was going to force himself on her and there was nothing she would be able to do about it. She prayed seriously in her heart. Beads of sweat formed on her head.

"The only punishment you deserve for slapping me is that I get your body whether or not you want it" Alexander said and raised his left hand to her face, lifting her face to his as he did before.

"You slapped me because I had touched your breasts, right? Let me see you slap me again" he provoked and moved his hand from her face to her breasts.

This time Bella could not react, she just tightly shut her eyes. That was it for her, she was already seeing herself being used by Alexander, satisfying his lusts. Her body was going to be ravaged by some heartless beast. His touches kept sending strange and somewhat uncomfortable signals to Bella. She wanted him to stop but he kept on.

Alexander smirked as he watched his actions torment Bella and her inability to do anything. She probably feared that should she react he would force himself on her. He soon stopped and Bella exhaled deeply.

"Didn't you enjoy it" Alexander asked.

Bella was disgusted by his question. She look at him angrily and found her strength. She pushed him away from her.

"You really are a devil, a monster" she spoke harshly. She did not care about anything anymore.

"You feel like you're living life now? You feel like this is what enjoyment is? Disrespecting women, disrespecting people?" Bella scoffed, "You are an animal, Alexander!" She dropped, disregarding any title she should have given him. "You are a fool to think that harrassing a lady is a way to prove your authority and dominance. A man who cannot respect people, and women especially is not worthy of being called a man. His perfect name is an Animal" Alexander was fuming as Bella spoke but she did not mind. Someone needed to tell him off and she was going to do it, after which she would resign from her work.

"How dare you speak to me like that?" Alexander roared.

"Because you deserve it and everything worst in this world." Bella threw back at him. "You don't even have any regard for your father" Bella shrugged and moved closer to him this time, "You are a curse to your family and to everyone around you and it's only a matter of time before you send your parents to their early grave with your bad character"

"That is enough" Alexander roared and simultaneously raised his hands to hit her but stopped immediately as if someone held his hand.

Bella stood there unflinching, staring at his reddened eyes and face. Alexander was obviously fuming. Slowly, he dropped his hands. Then he said to her, "You are not worth me, Bella. You're a dirty maid that should be grateful that I had fancied you for a little while. Now, you will see the consequences of your actions" he gritted his teeth as he continued, "I will make your life a living hell and until I'm satisfied, I'll make sure that you will never be able to leave this place. Oh Bella, you'll wish you never met me".

Bella's torment began. Alexander was indeed a very cruel master as he had promised her. From that very morning, Bella was neck deep in activities, serving Alexander. Her first assignment was to prepare him a breakfast of toast with omelette and freshly squeezed pineapple juice, which was not on the food menu that morning. Along side that assignment, Alexander ordered that Bella singlehandedly washed one of his cars before he would leave that morning after his breakfast.

Without any choice, Bella set to work. She quickly made Alexander's breakfast and served it to him in his bedroom. Then she dashed to the car park to wash the specific car that Alexander had said. If she had ever had a dislike for Alexander before, his actions that morning turned it to deep hatred in her heart. She cursed him as she washed the seemingly big car and told herself that if she will leave if she could no longer handle Alexander and he will not stop her. She soon finished with the car and reported back to Alexander's room to inform him and also clear where he had eaten.

Alexander was already dressed to go out when she walked in.

"Is my car ready?" He asked her.

"Yes sir" she replied.

"Good," he said. Bella looked at him.

"I'll be back for lunch and I'd like a white bean and tuna salad with my lunch. Is that clear?"

"Yes sir" Bella replied.

"Then, in my closet are dirty clothes or I'd rather say, clothes I want you to get washed and ironed before I return for lunch. Failure to complete this task will cost you your salary by the end of the month. Is that clear Bella?" He smirked as he spoke.

"Yes sir" Bella swallowed her anger and said.

"Then get to work" he said and walked out.

Bella gathered the dirty dishes on the table into the tray then walked to Alexander's walk-in closet to see the clothes and she was shocked to see what Alexander had kept for her to wash. As she examined the clothes, she realized that they were not dirty in anyway. He just malhandled them and dumped them for her to wash. They were so many and heavy and Bella cursed the more. With a sigh, she got to work.

It was not easy for her. She had cleared the plate and set to prepare Alexander's lunch. After that, she started with the heap of clothes. She had to sort the clothes first as they would be washed in the machine and they were about eight sets of clothes she would have to wash, dry and iron before Alexander would return by lunch time. Bella knew it would be impossible but started anyway. She had only washed three sets before Alexander returned. She quickly served him his lunch and when Alexander asked her about the clothes she informed him about her progress. Alexander only smirked and said, "It seems you won't have a good night rest today" then he dismissed her after adding another chore of washing the car he had used that morning as he would be going out in the night.

Bella finally finished with the clothes by evening and went to the car to find that Alexander had intentionally turned the car into a dumpster. She wondered how mud had stained the body of the car and how litters of dirt were inside. She could not complain and set to work. She had just finished with the car by some minutes past ten in the night and as she was about to go inside, Alexander walked out to her.

"Nice" he commented, "you are one hard working maid" he mocked.

Bella did not reply.

"I'm going out and won't be back till the morning. Tidy up my room, the closet and the bathroom before I return and also, make sure my breakfast is ready by then" he instructed.

Bella watched him with disgust as he walked past her into the car and zoomed off.

Bella was beginning to see how much torture she would be receiving from Alexander. She had not a little break since that morning and had not eaten anything. She was very exhausted. She dragged herself back into the mansion, to Alexander's room and just as she had expected, Alexander had turned the room into a dumpster worse than he had done with the car. Tears formed in Bella's eyes as she started cleaning. She was already doomed by Alexander. She finished the room by midnight and dragged her tired self to bed to sleep without bothering about food.

The surrounding was deserted and only few abandoned and half demolished buildings were in sight. Alexander drove there with the evidence and alone as Sophia had demanded and was allowed in through the gate by Sophia's armed men. He was directed on where to part his convertible, which he did and them came down. The armed men searched him thoroughly to be sure he wasn't with any arms, wires of any sort, or cameras and then, they escorted him into the house and led him past the empty room, which was supposed to be the living room, through a corridor and into another room, where Sophia and her father were seated on two dinning chairs at the rou
