Chapter 5

SARAH

I woke to the sound of a mild persistent knock on my door.

I grumbled to myself and used a pillow to cover my ears, hoping whoever that was knocking would just leave or walk in right away but neither of what I wanted happened.

Annoyed, I shot up from the soft bed and yawned, "who is it? Come in"

Could it be Emilio? No I doubt. If it was that arrogant man he wouldn't need to knock before barging into my room.

The door was slowly pushed open revealing the warm features of a different maid, different from the one that showed me to my room last night. "Goodmorning miss, Mr Emilio asks for your presence in his room right now" she informed me.

He needs me in his room? For what reason? My mind took a walk down memory lane, to last night when he ordered me to get naked for him in the lounge and I quickly shook the thought away.

She turned to leave but I quickly called her back, "Excuse me please..."

"Anything I can do for you Miss Sarah?" She smiled.

"Uhm did he say what he wanted from me?" I was nervous in asking her.

She did not reply but changed the topic, "Please get ready fast and go meet him. He honestly does not like being kept waiting"

"I have heard that statement a thousand times now" I chucked to myself.

"He has quite a disdain for it honestly and you do not want to be on his bad side"

"Does he even have a good side?" I rhetorically asked which made us both giggle.

"Now hurry up please. I would be waiting for you outside" she quickly rambled before dashing out of my room.

I think I'll really like her.

I stood up from the cozy comfort of my bed and pulled apart the curtains, allowing the warm rays of the sun into the chilly room.

I can't even lie, this is by far the best room I had slept in, in my entire life.

Too bad its owner was a very arrogant, rude and disrespectful man.

I walked into the bathroom and freshened up. In about fifteen minutes, I was done and had already put on my clothes.

Quickly, I dressed my bed and sprayed my signature fruity strawberry scented perfume all over my body before walking out. Maybe he wanted me to run a tiring errand for him. He did say I should save my energy for today.

The maid led the way while I ambled behind. We moved in silence which irked me. I needed to have atleast one friend here.

"What's your name?" I asked her, sparking up a conversation as we walked through the dimly lit hallway.

"Grace and you are Sarah" she replied.

"Glad you remembered. How long have you been working here?"

She breathed out deeply, "Honestly for about three years now and I have no intent on leaving"

"Why? Who would want to stay that long with a man such as Emilio? He is so arrogant" I spat, my brows creasing at her reply.

"I admit at times he is hard to deal with but he takes care of me, not only me but every other staff here. And we abide by his rules. Life is so much easier that way" she replied.

"But you though sarah, why do you work for him as his personal maid?"

I actually don't know why he assigned me to be his personal maid. "Well..." before I could reply, our steps halted infront of a white door with a cobra shaped door knob.

"We are here" Grace announced. She knocked on the door and a voice responded from the other side.

"Let her in" Emilio raspy voice echoed back at us.

Grace motioned with her head for me to step in before leaving.

The room was dark, so dark that I could barely make out anything or see much.

But indeed it was bigger and broader than mine. And so cold too.

There was a click and a dim golden glow spread across the room, shedding some light but not doing justice in illuminating the entire room.

It was a monochrome of black colours. A king sized bed laid in the middle, covered in grey sheets and duvet. Two doors were placed side by side, probably the bathroom and wardrobe.

A sliding glass door covered by linen curtains stood at the far end of the room, I'm guessing that was the terrace.

I could spot an antique of book shelves but the darkness forbade me from seeing more.

Blending with the darkness, Emilio sat down on the bed, his brown eyes gazing upon me like a predator seeking to devour a prey.

Slowly, he stood up and came into the golden glow of the light. That was when I realized he was shirtless.

"Goodmorning sir, you sent for me" I lowered my eyes from taking glances at his chiseled chest and sculptured abs.

"I did" he huskily replied. "And you know why"

"I don't. Do you need me to run an errand for you?" I asked puzzled.

A dark chuckle escaped his lips and Emilio crossed the distance between us, his hands now moving to settle on my waist.

"What?" He asked noticing the apparent discomfort on my face. "Does my touch bother you?"

"Yes. Yes it does sir. Please move away" I protested.

"Remember.." his lips cascaded down to the crook of my neck. My heart palpitated so fast that I could swear it would jump out of my chest any moment from now.

"Back in the lounge when I instructed you to get naked to me. You refused saying I did not own you yet because I had not signed the contract...." he placed kisses all over my skin leaving me out of breath.

Knots tied in my stomach as his lips kept on plundering my neck with kisses whilst his hand gripped my ass, "Well now I fully own you and that means I can do anything I want to do with you..."

A groan left his lips as he softly bit on my skin before sucking on it. I can't deny the effect this had on my body. I felt an electric spark run through me and a heat spreading in my stomach and to my legs.

But this was wrong.

"No sir please.." I forced myself to speak, my voice a plea as I tried to push him away but he grabbed my two hands and held it with just one of his hands.

"You are mine now Sarah. Mine and mine alone" he pressed his lips right above my breasts and I gasped out.

"Your body wants me. Give in princess. Don't resist me" he coaxed, trailing his lips further downwards until it settled right on my already hardened nipples.

I hated the fact that my body was responding!

I needed to stop this madness.

"No!" I pushed him away with every strength I could muster.

"Are you insane?!" He bellowed.

"Is this why you called me here sir? To have sex with me? Did you think I'd easily give myself like a toy to you to play with and discard when you have had your fill?"

Emilio's anger cooled off so quickly and his face now wore an amused expression.

"Are you talking to me in such manner? Huh?" He gripped the back of my head, his hands firmly griping my pony tail.

I whimpered and held onto his hand to keep his grip from tightening but it was a feeble attempt.

"I am because I do not want this sir. I am your maid not your mistress or slut" I retorted back.

"Why did you think I bought you at such a high price? To just be my maid? I have more than a dozen of workers here, what can you clean and cook that they can't huh?" He gritted his words in anger. "I bought you to be my personal whore Sarah. And you will do as I say" he pushed me roughly to the bed and advanced at me.

"I will not sir" I cried out. "I will not be forced into giving my body. I rather die" I scoffed, glaring at him and daring to challenge the beast.

"Really?" He fiercely pulled me up, his eyes like a sharp blade piercing through me. "If that is what you wish. I'll make your life a living hell in this mansion and break every single ego you have. I'll definitely enjoy playing this game with you"a maniac smile flashed on his face as he spoke.

"Now get out!" He yelled. I hurriedly scampered out of his room, tears brewing up in my eyes.

As I raced for my own room, whilst blinking away my tears, I ran into Grace.

"You are out already. I made a herbal tea for you"

"What for?"

"It uhm helps to soothe the pain.." she replied. What pain? And then it struck me.

She knew why he called me.

Was this what he did to every other girl he bought?!

"I don't need the herbal tea because nothing happened" I told her sternly before walking for my room.

I plunged in and crashed on the bed, burying my head on the pillow and sobbing.

Every new buyer is always worst than the last!

He is practically threatening me all because I will not have sex with him.

Can I survive staying with Emilio?
