"I like it...very impressive but it needs more work. So go back and develop on it as soon as possible" I said blankly and went back to my files. "what?...I thought it was amazing. Her ideas were creative and her images were of high quality. Sarah I think you did well....I want you to progress on this idea" Atlas said making me grit my teeth. "I am the head of this project Mr Williams so I am the one who makes the decisions" I spat while looking through my files. "and I am the owner of this place, so I over take you with the decisions Faith. Sarah you can leave now" he said with a sigh. After hearing the door shut, I slammed the file on the table and turned towards him giving him a hard glare. "You need to learn to stay out of my business Mr Williams" I said calmly but with a cold tone.
He sighed again and closed his eyes "Please...please call me by my name...I'm dying to hear my name from your lips Fai...." he said with a hurtfu

I gasped all of a sudden as flashes of images popped into my mind. The fire, Leo, me falling to the ground. I quickly shot up from the bed but fell back as I groaned holding my head.

I smiled at that thought, she will look beautiful in this dress.I chuckled to myself as I held the dress in my hands entering her room. I watched her sit next to the window with a blank face, her arms hugging her knees. I decided to take her chains off for today as I now have cameras all over the house. I even have a tracking device on her so I will know where she is if she ever tries to escape me again."Look what I have for you my angel....isn't it gorgeous?" I asked with excitement.

I need to contact my family....just one call and it could save my children's life. "Not sleepy?" Atlas asked in his husky voice. I stayed silent, my lips in a straight line.
