Chapter 5

Ethan did not go easy on her. He made her do all kinds of embarrassing styles and by the time they finished, Olivia was too tired that she did not even have the energy to lift a finger, let alone open her eyes.

When she finally returned to the realm of the living, it was already noon the following day. The space beside her had already turned cold and her body was aching all over and her back seemed to have been broken.

Thinking about everything that had transpired yesterday, her face flushed and it was as red as a ripe tomato. The man seemed to have an insatiable appetite as he folded her body in all kinds of postures, to the extent of almost breaking her spinal cord.

She shyly looked at the hickeys on her body, making her face turn as red as an apple. She secretly cursed the man and tried to get out of bed.

Her legs were wobbly and she could only stand straight with the help of the bed. If she knew this was the price she was supposed to pay, she would not have provoked that man no matter what.

Coupled with the fact that she was extremely hungry, Olivia made her way to the bathroom to wash up with so much difficulty. Maybe she would feel better after showering and filling up her stomach with some food. 

After showering, she went to the closet and noticed that all the clothes there were brand new. They even had price tags on them. Just looking at the price of one dress made her heart tremble.

It was even more than her tuition fee. Gosh, where do people find so much money?

With all the clothes in the closet and their astronomical prices, Olivia thought that it was enough to live the remaining years of her life without any worry if she sold them.

The thought had only formed in her mind when she shook her head. She did not know what she was thinking about and she chided her mind for being stupid.

Since she did not have anything else to wear and her old clothes seemed to have been thrown away, Olivia found a not-so-attractive dress and put it on. Although the price was high, it looked kind of normal, making her feel comfortable.

She would have to go to a thrift store when she finds time to purchase some second-hand clothes.

When she returned to the bedroom, she noticed a tray of food on the coffee table. There was a servant standing on the side of the table and looking at her, Olivia realized that she was not the one whom she had been talking to, yesterday.

Remembering what had transpired yesterday after doing what that servant had told her, Olivia realized that something was wrong. She had seemed so confident and her eyes had been filled with disdain while talking to her. What had happened?

Olivia took a sip of the soup and looked at the servant who was lowering her head submissively.

“Where is that lady who had blond hair?” Olivia asked.

When the servant heard her question, her expression appeared frightened and she lowered her head even more. It was as if she would offend Olivia the moment she spoke so, she did not dare to.

Olivia felt that something was amiss and a bad feeling crept into her stomach, and just as she was about to ask what was going on, someone knocked on the door and they saw the butler enter the room.

The butler looked at the two women. The servant trembled lightly after seeing the older man. The butler glared at her and having gotten the signal, the servant obediently retreated from the room, leaving the two of them.

She even sighed in relief the moment she reached outside the door. It was as if she had just escaped death.

Olivia was now certain that something had happened. Why would the servant act like a scared rat after seeing the butler?

She wanted to ask but thought against it. She knew that the butler would never tell her the truth, so why waste her breath? Also, she was just a surrogate and she did not have any importance in that man’s heart, so she did not have the right to question his servants.

“Miss Bell, you will be accompanying the master to a banquet tonight. Your dress for the occasion has already been prepared and the stylist will be here soon.” the butler said.

Olivia was stunned. Accompany the master to a banquet?

Olivia was dubious. Wasn’t she just a surrogate and a sex toy to the man? Why would she accompany him to a banquet?

Seeing that his message had been delivered, the butler turned around to leave but Olivia stopped him.

“Wait.” She called out.

“What is the matter, Miss Bell?” the butler turned around and asked.

“Why would I accompany your master to a banquet? I did not see anything like that highlighted in my contract.” protested Olivia.

Did they think that they could order her around just because she was a helpless lady with no way of escaping? There was no way she was going to allow these people to use her however they wanted.

“Well miss, it is an order from the master. You are in no position to act otherwise.” the butler said.

“Why can’t I act otherwise? I am yet to report your master to the police for abducting me, who is he that I am supposed to obey his orders? I don’t have a master.” Olivia said. She was so angry that she immediately lost her appetite.

She was still angry at the fact that her father sold her. Who were these people to order her around?

“Miss Bell, don’t make things difficult for me. I am just responsible for passing the orders. The boss will be home any time from now, please get ready.” the butler spoke. His voice was calm and gentle as if he did not have any other intentions.

“No. I am not going. I am just a surrogate and I am not qualified to accompany your master to such an important event. What if I embarrass him?” Olivia said softly. Seeing that the hard way was not working, she decided to use a different approach.

Before the butler could say anything, the stylist who had been ordered to prepare the dress arrived. She entered the bedroom and carefully placed the gorgeous gown on the bed before respectfully retreating. 

After the stylist left, the butler looked at Olivia and smiled mysteriously, and said in an even tone, “Miss Bell, I think that there is something you should know. Whether you like it or not, you are the first, and probably the last woman master will ever bring home. Appreciate it while you still can.” the butler said and headed towards the door, leaving the stunned Olivia behind.

Hah, she did not want to appreciate anything. She just wanted to be let free so that she could continue with her normal life.
