6: Sophia's disappearnce

Emma's POV

"Or do you want the guards to help you?" He said, the sneer in his voice undeniable.

Beads of sweat dripped down my face, mixed with fear and my hands clamped around the knife in my hands.

He pulled the robe and the knife fell out of my hands at the force. The sound of the knife clattering on the floor made my heart stutter, racing with a mix of fear as his gaze grew dark, lingering on the knife.

"Guard!" The loud echoes of footsteps sounded right outside the door.

We both bent immediately to pick up the knife; I held the knife, holding tightly as though my life depended on it.

In a flash of a moment, a sharp pain coursed through my hands, and my grip loosened, and the knife fell off.

The pain made my hand immobile, in my moment of distraction, he was behind me with the knife held to my neck, the cold metal sending shivers down my spine.

"Strip," he said, his voice dangerously low and menacing, laced with anger and venom. His presence had this aura emitting from him that darkened the air around him, filling me with an unspeakable fear, and my face paled.

I pulled the robe off, and they fell to my feet, exposing a fair share of my skin; standing there in just my undies, I could feel his member pressing on my lower back, and I gulped.

"Everything," he said and I knew he wanted me to strip to the last. Tears rushed to my eyes, streaming down my face.

"Please, I'm not ready," I pleaded. I can't lose my virginity to this devil.

At this moment, I regretted not giving my virginity to my ex-boyfriend, at least I might have been treated well.

His hands skimmed through my naked back dangerously slow that every single movement was sending me closer to my grave.

My breath hitched as he ripped the brassieres off, dropping them to the ground.

My heart was beating heavily against my ribcage, and my breath caught as the room suddenly grew stuffy.

The cold room made me freeze, my nipples taut and my hair stood up. He grabbed my nipples, roughening them, alternating between both of them as he groaned.

His touch ignited a wave of revulsion, my stomach twisting into knots as his deep, raspy voice rang in my ear, sending cold shivers down my spine. At this point, the tears were now running down my cheeks.

"You are crying? So much for someone like you." He laughed, and his laughter reverberated in the room as he ripped my panties before turning me to face the mirror.

The tears were blurring my vision, but I could feel his eyes running over my body, stopping at my cleanly shaved pussy.

My skin was shiny courtesy of the oil Mrs. Brianna rubbed me; our eyes met in the mirror, and he smirked at me, his eyes brimming with excitement.

"Get off me," I screamed, hitting him with my elbow when he touched my lap and dragged his hands to the intersection between my legs.

"Stay still, else I'll kill you," he said and pressed the knife into my neck. I froze as I saw the red liquid run down my neck, sending jolts of pain to my body. I tried to move, but the pain increased when the knife went deeper.

I groaned raising my hands to the skinny knife that gleamed with my blood.

"That's how it'll be for every stupid move that you make, you have to be punished. Isn't it?" He growled, and I nodded my head vigorously, as his laughter echoed in the room.

If I thought he was a devil before, I think I'm wrong. He's much worse than that.

He lit his cigarette, blowing the smoke in my face. I coughed, moving away,y, but he kept on blowing it, regardless of my consistent cough.

After some time, he walked to the closet and put on his robe. He increased the AC in the room and sat to work on his laptop while I stood there shivering at the coldness of the room.

Cold shivers seeped into my body, through the cold tiles. I stood there for hours, naked, my feet shaking while he worked away not sparing me a single glance.

A knock followed by a loud voice broke the thick atmosphere, "Young miss woke up and insisted on sleeping with you. Should I send her in?"

He glanced at me and back and the door, "dress up," he said before he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

I took a deep breath, releasing the air I didn't know I was holding. I could hear him conversing with Sophia but I shut their words out

I put on my robe immediately, grabbed my torn lingerie, and walked to the door. Sophia glared at me immediately. She saw me as though accusing me, but I had no time to deal with her. I rushed into my room, locking the door safely behind me.

The blood had dried, but the trail leading down to my stomach still made me freeze. I took my bath before I launched onto the bed, and slept off.

**********

"Is she still sleeping? Wake her up, I have to go to school."

The voice of Sophia woke me up. I groaned; my body was shivering, my head pounded, each movement hurt, and I knew I caught a cold. I opened my eyes to see her annoyed face, I wondered what she was doing in my room.

Her hair was packed in a ponytail, and two strands of hair stood by the side of her face, making her look cute. I smiled, but she frowned deeper, her brows crumpled.

"Get up, dad said you would send me to school."

All traces of sleep flew out the window, as her words sank in.

"Just go. I'm not in the best state of health today. I'll go with you tomorrow." I pleaded.

"Okay," she said and left. I was surprised at her enthusiasm but also happy at least I got to have my beauty sleep.

I had just closed my eyes when the scent of Leonardo's cologne, a mix of leather and cedarwood, hit me like a punch, making my heart skip a beat. My eye snapped open, and a pair of trousers was in my view. I raised my head to see a grim-faced Leonardo; he grabbed me and threw me off the bed.

I landed with a thud on the cold, hard floor; the wind knocked me out of me.

Jolts of pain shot through my body at the impact and I winced.

"She should go by herself?" He said, walking slowly towards me.

" No, no, no, I mean...I ..was about to...get dressed." I stuttered.

"Get right into it!" He screamed and I stood up and sprinted into the bathroom with the speed of light.

When I came down for breakfast, Sophia had a victorious grin on her face and I knew she must have told her dad on me.

I gasped when I saw the car outside, a white Mercedes G-wagon; I walked steadily to the car and was about to get in when Sophia slammed the door shut; the sound echoed through the quiet morning air, making me jump.

I slapped my forehead, "what a cocky brat, how much I want to spank her. " I thought.

" What were you doing in my dad's room yesterday?" She asked, her voice trembling with anger as her eyes narrowed at me.

The driver and the bodyguards glanced at us before turning back to the road.

" He sent for me, okay? Let me breathe," I said, irritation evident in my voice as I looked away when I heard her seatbelt shut.

The school looked spectacular with the kind of cars that the kids arrived with.

"Your dad said I would be......" I turned to my side, and Sophia was nowhere to be seen.

Panic set in as I frantically scanned the area, but Sophia was nowhere to be seen.

"Did Sophia come back here?" I asked the guard.

"No ma'am, she left with you."

I groaned, gripping my hair; she must have gotten lost when I was lost in admiring the school.

Thirty minutes and we still haven't found her even with the help of the security.

" What do we do?" I asked John, the guard, with my hands resting on my waist; my breathing came in short gasps now after running around the school while searching for her.

"First, we have to inform Master," John said and my heart sank at his word

I felt a cold sweat break out on my forehead when Leonardo's voice came through the phone. "Why are you calling?"

The words got stuck in my tongue. I didn't know how to present them to him, and I could see that his patience was s running low.

"We lost Sophia in the school and we can't find her...?" I said.

"What the hell are you talking about? I want to see Sophia once I get to that place or your head would be served on a platter." He replied I could hear telling someone to get the car ready as the line dropped dead.

Thirty minutes. It took us thirty minutes to get here. I need to find her before he gets here.

"Can we check the CCTV?" I asked the security.

We walked through the long corridor to the security room.

"See her !" I exclaimed when I saw us climb down from the car at the gate.

We followed the camera before it went blank.

"What happened?" I asked, my voice shaking.

"The security system had a glitch and we had to reboot the system. The camera was down during that time that time." The security man said, his head bent.

I'm dead. How do I explain to Leonardo that Sophia is gone?

"Where is she?"

The voice of Leonardo bellowed, and silence fell upon the room when the door burst open, and his long legs strode in. His eyes searched the room until they fell on me; my heart skipped a beat as he matched towards me; each footstep he took closer to me sent fear down my body.
