The hallway was pitch dark. It stank of liquor, mingled with a faint smell of cigarette. The sturdy hand that was guiding me to a place I was yet to know tugged at the chains binding my hands aggressively, causing me to fall on my knees.
" Get up bitch!" His rusty voice cursed, spanking my butt with ferocity. He then pulled me harshly by my hair to my feet.
"Get your shit together!" He growled. " You will be sold tonight."
And just like that, his arm went back to grip around my arm, pulling me so roughly that my joint twitched. He guided me down another corridor of darkness, into a room that had no windows, but with a dim lighting. This room only held one thing, a bunch of malnourished girls in skimpy wears.
The girls flinched when they saw him, he seemed to enjoy scaring them. He pushed me roughly past their chained bodies and shoved me down on the floor next to the ones who were to tired to stand, grunting with exertion from the long walk we just took.
My heart pounded erratically as I sat there, staring uncomfortably into the pit of eyes that stared back at me." You're gonna have fun tonight" his rough voice echoed in the small space. With one final grunt, he turned and walked out, closing the door with his foot. my heart raced even faster.
The door facing the one we came through flung open, and a skinny man appeared. His big eyes flickered in their sockets as he scanned us. An evil grin became evident on his face when his eyes fell on me.
" You!" He said in an accented voice, "You are going to sell for ten times what the others have sold."
My heart dropped to my stomach, and my palms began sweating. I felt tears beginning to build in my eyes, I swallowed hard as his eyes moved back and forth between each of the other girls in the room.
In a flash he covered the distance between and wrapped his thin fingers around my wrist. He yanked harshly at my arm and pulled me off the ground, forcing me to stand before him.
" Behave yourself and live" His icy voice warned before pushing the door open.
A strong unpleasant stench hit my nostrils when I stepped into the room filled with both young and old thirsty looking men. Their eyes were fixed on my form, the ones who were sniffing from the hard substance layed out neatly on their tables looked up and swam their eyes up and down lazily.
His fingers dug into my skin painfully, leaving deep indents in it as he dragged me to stand in front of the crowd. My legs started wobbling beneath me as I shuddered, their hungry stares was becoming too intense to bare.
" Finally, a premium item!" one of them commented in a thick accent. A few more muttered comments followed his comment.
" I want her !" One of the men belowed.
" We've been looking forward to this, turn around." A short fat man ordered excitedly as the rest laughed, applauding to show approval.
" Didn't you hear him?" Skinny man asked angrily.
My breath caught in my throat, trying to keep my trembling legs still as I spun in the small two piece that barely covered my chest area and lower part.
" One thousand grands" Another old man offered, "I'll take her for one thousand."
Skinny raised an eyebrow at the old man's offer, "I thought you were looking forward to this?"
The others laughed at Skinny's remark, and I could see a glint of anger in the man's eyes.
"Two thousand!" A hairy man in his late 30's belowed from the far end, " Cash!" He added proudly, unzipping a black bag that was at the verge of ripping due to being overly filled money.
Skinny man nodded slowly, clearly pleased.
" Two thousand" Skinny said finally, " We are progressing"
" Progressing?" The man questioned in disbelief, " For a whore?" He snorted dismissively.
" Two thousand! Anyone else?" Skinny questioned in his cold, dead tone "Anyone else interested?"
His icy gaze landed on me, making me feel like his eyes burned holes into my flesh.
" Do something! Turn, flirt, stick your damn tongue out. Don't just stand there" He muttered at me provocatively.
" Three thousand grands" An elderly man offered. " I would love to taste her. "
My entire body cringed at the mention of that, and I prayed deep down not to get sold to him.
" Four Thousand!" The hairy man from earlier offered again.
" Just a whore ehh?" Skinny teased and the others laughed.
It was obvious that this man wanted to own me, be alone with me, to touch me and watch me squirm while he abused me.
"Five thousand!" The hairy man said, standing from where he sat.
The men laughed uproariously at the suggestion, obviously mocking him. " You think five thousand will buy her?" They asked in amusement.
The hairy man ignored them. " She is worth five hundred grand"
" Ten thousand!" A female shouted.
I looked around the room and spotted a woman standing at the corner near the wall. Her brownish blonde hair was pulled up in a messy ponytail.The men around were already discussing the matter among themselves, no doubt deciding which one would win me over, and also showing their disgust towards the woman.But I wasn't paying any attention to them anymore, the thought of a woman being my new master freaked me. Men might be nasty and all, but women are much more perverted and vile creatures.
I was terrified of getting touched by someone like her, knowing that she would do nothing but abuse and degrade me for hours. It was getting more sickening every passing minute of this ordeal. And it only got worse when Skinny continued his demands after his last statement. I couldn't help but to shake, but I tried my best to remain calm so as not to become weaker than I am.
" Fifteen Thousand!" Skinny stated smugly, looking at the woman.
" I'd take her for that" A grumpy looking man chuckled proudly, eyeing me with a look of pure lust and I felt like dying, but then my ears picked up another voice. And it wasn't just any any voice. It sounded familiar to me, I spun to where it came from and there he was. Grey Creed, that bastard! We finally met again. An evil smirk spread on my lips as I stole a glance at his face. It wasn't surprising that he was still devastatingly handsome, with sharp angles and perfect facial features. He had a dark tan and piercing green eyes. They fell on me and I had to fight the insane urge to jump on top of him and rip his clothes off. My thoughts wandered and I couldn't help but imagine what being dominated by him will feel like. I shook my head violently to get rid of the ridiculous thought. What the fuck was wrong with me?! This was an assignment, not some avenue to screw a devil I detested with all I had.
Fifty thousand grands" His cold voice thundered and everyone backed off, mumbling their disapproval and pain.
He spun to glare at them and they all went mute.
" Sold for fifty thousand grands" Skinny smiled awkwardly at the crowd of angry men.
" The slave is now yours, Lord Creed" Skinny genuflected.
His eyes wouldn't leave my body as I stood there waiting for him to decide what he was going to do with me. He wasn't any different from the others, his eyes screamed of lust, but with an edge of dominance. He looked like he wanted to devour me at the spot." Take her to the van" He ordered and walked out.A tall muscular man stepped forward, he took hold of me by both arms and dragged me towards the door. The minute we were outside the door, a blindfold was wrapped around me and I was pushed through the hallway to where the van was waiting. The man was silent the entire time as he shoved me in, I crashed into something hard and the door shut. It was only when Grey Creed's musky scent filled the air that it dawned on me that I was resting on him, he said something I didn't perceive to the driver, as I was too mesmerized by his scent and minty breath to think right." They haven't gotten back to us yet" The driver spoke. " We have plenty of time." Grey's voice was calm, but carried au
" What's your name?" Pamela's eyes flickered with disgust." Mabel" I said, trying my best to look as filial as possible. " Listen carefully Mabel" She began slowly " You are now a servant of Lord Grey"I nodded when she paused to observe my face." You are to pleasure him whenever he wants" She paused again for an effect, " You don't go anywhere near his chambers without being summoned, the repercussion for that is death" My head shot up on hearing that, but I was already in the process of nodding vigorously to agree with everything she told me." You don't nod!" She roared at me, her rage apparent in every word she spoke, "You're supposed to say "Yes Ma'am! or you're a dead meat, servant! "" Yes... Ma'am" I said sheepishly, trying to avoid another outburst." Good, good, I'm glad we have an understanding Mara" She paused again before she continued, " Now if there's anything you need, you ask. Do not take a pin without my consent!" Her 5'5 beautiful frame gritted up me." Of cou
Behind the counter of Rover's club, I was mixing all sorts of concoctions for my customer, a patron who was not only an alcoholic, but also addicted to cocaine. He needed something to calm him down so his nerves wouldn't want to jerk up and cause commotion like he does most of the time.From where I stood, I could see the uneasy movements his body was making, and I knew he was running out of patience.He couldn't wait to have a taste of what I was going to serve him and get knocked out. One of his men wouldn't take his eyes off of me, I maintained eye contact with the particular man as I approached them with a tray of drinks I had mixed." Here you go" I placed it gently before them with a smile plastered on my face, "You'll be happy when you taste it" I said, as the man took a tentative sip, his brows furrowing slightly as he did so. He didn't like that much. He'd been drinking enough lately to know better, still he took another mouthful. Then spat it out, staining the crisp white shi
Staying in this house is more strenuous than I thought. The house is filled with snobbish girls that are nowhere near my league. Asides that, I miss my son already and can't wait to get the fuck out of here before I kill someone and blow my cover.No one here seems to like me, I think they all feel intimidated by me. I've been holed up in my room all day and have no one to talk to. My pillow is the only companion I have right now. My stomach grumbled and I frowned."I wish there's a way I can live here without food and won't have to eat anything from this house," I muttered to myself still frowning.A girl walked into the room and simply pretended not to see me, she just went about her business, searching for something in her bag."Rude," I rolled my eyes and her head snapped in my direction."Did you say something?" She arched her brows at me and I felt tempted to scoff but I restrained myself."I said something actually but not to you. Why don't you just keep up with the pretense o
I trailed off to the grand kitchen designed with a 'work triangle' between the refrigerator, sink, and cooktop, providing adequate storage, and ensuring a sizable clear surface for food preparation. With the gray colors used for the walls and partitions, it looks lavish. The grand kitchen alone looks like a one room apartment where someone is living in,I was so lost looking at the beauty of the grand kitchen."Wow!!"I exclaimed."This is so big,"I muttered to myself.The grand kitchen was so beautiful and well arranged,the colors used for the decorations of the walls are just so perfect. The utensils for the Mafia boss are made with gold and are arranged in a special cabinet. I meekly went where the maids plates were kept,I was easily able to know which one for the maids because there was a tag by the other cabinet boldly written 'MAIDS',I open the cabinet and study the way the plate were kept in the cabinet,it wasn't the way I imagine it to be there was a tag with names of each of the
At 00:00am it was lights out in the maid quarters and all the maids had retired to their respective rooms. The other workers inside the compound except the security outside were all asleep too or no longer active in their various posts. The mansion creeped of silence like a graveyard and the darkness loomed the entire building. However, I noticed from my window a few rooms upstairs in the main building still had their lights on, but those were the usual restricted areas and as much as they were almost hidden from everyone, one could sneak around the compound without being seen from the blind spot – only if one could dodge the CCTV cameras and avoid the alarms which swarmed the manor though.I had gone to bed just as everyone else did but waited patiently for everyone to retire and listened carefully for total silence. The last of the maids had retired two hours ago but I waited on in my room so I would be sure that no one was awake or outside their rooms the time I embark on my littl
"Thomas, come back here!" I shouted running after my son who took off with my office documents."Catch me if you can mommy," he giggled and increased momentum, running farther away from me.I still don't understand how this boy can outrun me. I'm a good runner myself but Thomas seems to be faster and more fit than me."Thomas, I swear to God if you don't come back with my office documents, no Cartoons for you," I threatened and he giggled in response not stopping despite me threat.I lost sight of him but still kept running after him in the direction he took. I am panting heavily and can hardly breathe. I suddenly reached a cross road and didn't know which way to go."Should I go left or right," I contemplated, eyeing the two directions.After much thinking I decided to go left. I kept running, hoping I'm going in the right direction. I lost focus for a while and didn't know when I got to the end of the road. Before I knew it I began to fall off."Thomas!""Help!" I screamed out alar
I stood at one side of the corner of the kitchen watching as the other maids murmur about what happened to kira. We were all still waiting for the head maids to arrive from the infirmary. We were asked to gather around the kitchen."I wonder what could have happened to kira,"One of the maid murmur to themselves and I rolled my eyes. They all act like they care but deep down they don't."Bunch of hypocrites," I muttered under my breath."I do envy her but I don't pray for something bad to happen to her," Another maid said."Me too,"Another maid replied."Could she be sick or something?"One of them asked."Or could there be something wrong with the food," Another maid replied."who is going to be the escort of Master now?" Another maid asked and they all stare at her."I think the head of maid will appoint someone else to be the Master escort," Another maid said."At least someone else would have the opportunity to be the Master's escort," Emma replied."I wish it will be me," One o
"Mabel wait!" Grey yelled as he grabbed my wrist, my heart was racing fast as he grabbed my hand. Gosh! I had let the cat out of the bag and now I wasn't sure of what to tell him."Mabel," Grey repeated and I turned to look at him, he had the same facial features with my son and I wondered if he ever met Thomas my son, maybe he might guess….gosh! I'm thinking too much nonsense."I'm here," I murmured."Sit Mabel," he ordered but I continued to stand. "Take a seat Mabel," he repeated, after breathing I sat beside him. Grey was still holding my wrist as if I was going to run away if he ever let go of me."So, you have a son?" He asked and I nodded, he was silent for a while and I couldn't let myself imagine what was going through his mind. "How come nobody knew about it?" My heart skipped a beat when he asked that question.What should I say? That I left my son with his nanny all because I wanted to bring Grey to bar? Stupid! I thought for a while as my mind was in chaos, thankfully a l
Mabel's POVA week later, I was lying on Grey's laps as he sat on the couch, he raised his hand and starts stroking my hair gently. "Does it feel good?" He asked when he noticed that my eyes were closed."Mn," I nodded my head and he continued stroking my hair."Can I ask you out Mabel?" Grey suddenly asked."Really?" I asked without opening my eyes."Yes," he replied."I'm in!" I said with my eyes still closed."I'm guessing, where should we go?" He asked without stopping, I opened my eyes and our gaze met . "Do you have any place in your mind?" He asked again, I thought for a while and smiled."Yes," I replied still smiling at him."So, where is the place if I may ask?" I put my head down on his laps and he resumed with hisgesture."Uhm, let's go for a picnic at a park," I replied and waited for his response. "It's going to be crowded," he murmured and I understood what he meant. As a Mafia lord, he couldn't go anywhere freely because enemies could be lurking around so he needee
Mabel's POV,Standing in front of the balcony as I read a daily news on my phone, I frowned when I read the trending news "MAN FOUND DEAD IN A BUSH!" I took a close view at my phone to see the dead body of the man that had been found then, just then my phone rang. I looked at the caller and shivered. Desmond? He must have seen the news and is about to ask if I knew anything about it or maybe I had seen it."Hello Desmond!" I greeted as I received the call."Hi Mabel, how are you doing?" He asked, I could hear loud noises coming from the place Desmond was at and I guessed he was at the scene."I'm fine, what's up with the call?" I asked."Have you seen the daily news?" He asked, I was silent fir a while as I thought of what to give him as a response. "Mabel?" Desmond called when I didn't say anything."I'm here," I replied."I asked a question Mabel, is anything the problem?" He asked, he sounded worried and I smiled to myself."Not really," I replied. "Okay, so I asked if you had se
We got to my underground prison a few minutes later because the car had gone at it's highest speed."Stop here," I ordered and the driver stoped the car few meters away from the underground. Brian turned to look at me."Is Mabel in there? Because as far as I know, this isn't Keith's underground," he said and gave me a confused gaze, I laughed and patted his shoulder."Your cousin is in there," I replied,vhe furrowed his eyebrows and glared at me."Which cousin?""Keith's daughter," I replied and he let out a long hiss."None of them are related to me!" He snapped and got down from the car. Without waiting for me, he started moving towards the underground."Where do you think you are going?" I asked and stood by the side of the car."To save Mabel!" He retorted and continued walking."You won't find her without me," I said again, he stopped and turned to look at me."What the hell are you saying?!" He yelled and took hurried steps towards me, he grabbed my collar when he got to me. "Ar
Grey's POV,As I laid on the bed and thought of ways to stop Brian from coming to my place, Mabel's phone that she had forgotten in my bedroom started ringing, when I checked the caller I frowned. It was the same Brian I was thinking about, just what the hell did he want to tell her?I picked up the phone and received Brian's incoming call. "Hello Mabel," he said and I was filled with jealousy, this guy had his own way of charming ladies which I find annoying and perverting."Stay away from Mabel you brat!" I warned, Brian went silent for a while and then I heard him laugh."Are you not ashamed of yourself Grey?" He asked and continued to laugh."I should be asking you that question little brat!' I retorted and he laughed harder."You're so funny!" He mocked. "Picking a lady's phone call and warning a suitor to stop calling her, that is a very shameful thing to do Grey. Don't you know that?" He asked."Was that how your mother and father got to know each other?" I asked him back and
"What were you both about to do before I came in?" Emma asked as soon as Grey left the ward. I laid back on the bed and covered myself with the sheet, Emma was angry and pulled it away."What is it girl?" I asked and dragged the sheet from her which she dragged from me again."I won't let you sleep until you tell me what the both of you were doing in my absence!" She said and smiled mischievously."What's with that smile?" I asked and grinned at her."Nothing much!" She said and yawned. "So, the both of you thought I already left the hospital and was about to have sex. Isn't it?" She asked and we both laughed."Stop thinking far Emma!" I said while laughing."Stop thinking far Emma," she mimicked and we laughed again. "But seriously Mabel," she turned serious and I stopped laughing."Nothing was going to happen Emma, he was going to kiss me until you came in," I said, my cheeks were feeling hot as Emma continuously stared at me."Are you sick?" She suddenly asked, I frowned and shook
"Mabel?!" The door burst open, rudely interrupting the silence between Grey and I. Emma dashed in looking panicked but when she saw Grey and I, she frowned and relaxed a bit. "Emma?" I called and beamed a smile at her, she smiled back as she approached my bed."Are you alright Mabel?"she asked and I nodded my head, she looked at me not believing what I said. "Are you sure? Or is it that you don't want to tell me," she asked and pouted, I laughed a little at Emma."Why would I lie to you?" I asked, she shrugged and took the second seat beside me."Who knows? Maybe you don't want me to know how much pain you are feeling because you wil be worried," she said and paused. "Emma do you think thar-" I was interrupted by her."I understand Mabel," she said and smiled sadly. "You don't have to tell me," she added and u nodded in agreement."Anyways, how did you know I was stabbed?" I asked, Grey can't be the one to yell her. "Oh! Martha did!" She exclaimed and held my hand. "Martha told us
I woke up to find myself wrapped up with bandage , I looked around me and noticed i was in a ward and there was no one in here with me. The door opened and Grey walked in with a tray of food in his hands, then it dawned on me that he was the one who must have brought me to the hospital. I quickly closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep, I felt Grey keep the food on the table and walk towards me. He took the empty seat beside me and held my right palm, I heard him exhale and bit my lips secretly. "Aren't you feeling hungry?" I heard him say but still didn't want to open my eyes, I couldn't bear to embarrass myself in front of him. "Mabel open your eyes now," he ordered, I sighed and opened my eyes. "I'm sorry, "he starts to rub my palm and I frowned inwardly, just what is he doing?! "If I had come earlier, this would never had happened," he said, I was stunned that Grey could offer an apology. I couldn't believe it and snapped my eyes open to find a pair of blue eyes gazing a
I walked into the building which was a small restaurant and I spotted Martha at a corner, with a bowl of finished soup before her. She was looking out the window and when she noticed me, her face turned red in anger but she tried to keep it in. I walked towards her and sat before her with a questioning look. "Where the hell have you been again Mabel. This is what I hate about you. Keeping me waiting.""What do you mean by that?" I asked, I was confused and at the same time angry with myself for coming here. What connection do we both even have? I don't like her neither does she likes me so I wonder why she has called me here."Don't you dare talk to me in that manner you little wench!" She threatened, I shook my head and stood up from my seat."I'd rather leave than have you talk to me in that manner," I said and was about to walk away when she stood up from her seat and grabbed my wrist."Don't you dare walk out on me!" She yelled."This is not Grey's house where I have to obey you
