I knew that voice. It was Pete's voice. Oh no. I turned around and saw him standing by the entrance leading to the hallway I just departed from.I should have known he would wait to see who would come out, why didn't I suspect that? I started to think of things to lie with when he asked why I was leaving the hallway that led to his boss's chamber.But why did I have to lie, I mean I didn't do anything wrong in going to confirm what I knew was written on that door. With few steps, he met me where I stood, a stern look on his face."What were you doing there? Why were you there?" He asked the questions I expected and I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came. I hadn't yet thought of a lie to tell or even a way to tell him the truth of why I was there.All that came to my mind when he stood in front of me was yesterday. I could only remember Leo asking me to undress in front of them both and then later asking him to look away.At least, he didn't see me naked yesterday, it woul
I stood on my favourite balcony in the whole mansion. It had a great view of the city. Gentle breeze casually blowing by. I was waiting for Pete to bring Mae to me.I heard a thud and turned towards the stairs to see that Mae had stumbled on some steps. She got back on her feet and thankfully, she wasn't bleeding. Pete didn't help her up, he just stood behind her on the stairs and waited for her to get back up before proceeding.She was rubbing on her elbow which had kissed the floor when she fell but stopped when she looked up and saw me. I studied her reaction after seeing me and could tell that she was frightened the moment she set her eyes on me.I smiled. I was weirdly happy to see her after not being able to see her for the past 24 hours. It was nice to see her oval, pale face with those brown eyes that matched her hair."How are you feeling today?" I asked her what I would have done if I had a chance to see her yesterday. I wanted her to be in a good state if I was going to tea
I was going up the stairs that led to the balcony Rhea had shown me yesterday when I fell with a thud. I looked up and saw Leo's eyes on me.I got on my feet and checked, I wasn't bleeding. I rubbed my elbow to massage where I hit after falling. The memory of taking my clothes off in front of him the other night hit me and I swallowed. It left me transfixed.Leo smiled on seeing me. He fixed his eyes on me and I just knew it had to be because he had seen me naked before."How are you feeling today?" He asked me. Weird that he would ask me that. What did he care?I was scared that he was asking that. I was scared of him. I stayed still to cover it up and I didn't give an answer to his question, instead, I just stared at him to know what he would say next."Excuse us," He ordered and Pete left down the stairs he came up in.Now it was just Leo and me left at the top of the balcony. He started to come closer to where I stood. I wanted to move back in fear but my feet seemed to be glued t
I took the gun from him. He is unusually calm with me, I can't trust him. He came behind me and placed his hands over mine to hold the gun.My heart started to beat fast. I was scared of every action he took with me. His palms were warm when they touched the back of my hand.While holding my hand and the gun together, he lifted the gun but before pointing it at the target, he spoke to me with his lips so close to my right ear."Keep calm."Keep calm? He's asking to keep calm, does he know how hard that is? Especially with him behind me like that. I tried to stabilize my breathing and keep calm like he said but it wasn't easy."I'm calm," I told him and he made me enclose my right hand more firmly around the back strap of the gun. With my middle, ring, and pinky finger around the base of the gun, I kept my index finger outside the trigger guard."Focus your eyes on the gun, Miss Yrote," his voice was gentle like the first time he spoke in my ear."You don't focus your eyes on the target
She threw more and I had to duck like three more times till she ran out of things close to her reach to throw at me. She turned back to look for something else to throw so I went to her to understand exactly why she was throwing things at me.The moment she turned back to see me near her, she wanted to resume screaming so I put my hand over her mouth but unfortunately for me, she struggled."Please stop screaming, I beg you," I tried to reason with her but she wiggled out of my hold so I panicked and did the first thing that came to my head. I snapped her neck and watched as she fell to the ground.'Oh shit,' was my first thought. "What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?" I asked myself out loud. The things she threw at me were all broken and shattered all over the place.I could just leave and act like I was never here but then, she would say something when she woke up from the sleep I put her into.I was still deliberating on what to do when the door flew open and some four to six
"What?""You'll dance for me and you'll strip while you do it." He repeated himself just when I thought I heard wrong the first time.He picked up a remote from the table in front of him and dimmed the lights back to redness. "Dance," He gave a one-word order and I got on my feet."I don't how to," I told him the truth but heard him cork a gun."Don't make me angrier than I am," He warned before keeping the gun in front of him. He left it by the glass of whiskey."Dance.""There's no music," I swallowed, knowing he wasn't in the mood to let this one slide off."Music huh?" He smiled cockily and grabbed the remote. A soft-sounding song filled the room.This is it. I'm just going to take off my clothes in front of him for the second time if that's what he wants.I released my thoughts and began by unhooking my trousers and saw how Leo's eyes followed every movement I made. He was feeding his very hungry-looking eyes on my body. It was his type that could never be with one woman. How cou
I picked up my top from the floor and my shoes too and then I hurried to the door. I left as he commanded. After I walked out of the chamber room, I realized that I had just a bra on and ran to a corner to put on my top."One day, I would have made you into what I want you to be and then I would fuck you, I'd fuck you till I don't have the urge to do so anymore." Leo's words rang in my ears as I passed the top over my head. Stretching it down my torso, I felt like his lips were still so close to my ear."...I'd fuck you till I don't have the urge to do so anymore."Does he have urges for me? I didn't know that. This is bad, so bad. And I thought my only situation was to just train and kill who he wanted then I could leave. What did he mean with those words of his? One day? I walked out of the hallway leading to the chamber and almost bumped into Rhea while still in thought."Mae? Where on earth did you disappear to? All this time I've been waiting for you to meet me downstairs. I was
Pete returned with a mug of coffee. He had brought it himself. I thought he would have returned with Anita or any of the other maids. Leo received the mug from him and took a sip, then he lifted his face to catch me staring at him."You didn't get her some coffee too?" He turned to Pete who gave him a confused look.I was also confused. He didn't ask him to get me coffee and I don't even drink coffee. Besides, Pete didn't even get himself a mug, so why would he bother about me?"Do you want some hot coffee, he can go back and get you a mug," Leo asked and I looked over at Pete. He didn't look happy about what Leo just said to me."I don't d-drink coffee," I shook my head to his offer. Even if I did drink coffee, I wasn't going to let Pete get some for me. Those eyes of his were scary. I guess being around Leo could really make one emit his kind of aura.Leo came nearer to me and fixed his hot mug of coffee in my free hand, "hold it," I heard him.I had to use my other hand to seize th
