"So, you made a choice?" His dark voice vibrated in the room, making me flinch.
I brought my legs closer in fear, as if I could stop this fear from crawling through my skin, reaching all parts of my body, and nodded my head, whispering "yes."."Here." He slammed the contract in front of me. I flinched, raised my head, and looked into his dark, angry blue eyes, immediately lowering them in fear.
I once wished for him to spare me a glance, and that could make my day, but right now, his deep blue eyes scare me the most, and I don't want him to even look at me."You are ready to sacrifice yourself to save that motherfucker?!" His angry voice rang in the room with a hint of pain, making me flinch, and an instant guilt followed.I feel so guilty for hurting the man that I love the most, and yet... I am not ready to hurt the other important people in my life.I tried my best to stay calm, not giving him an answer."Fine! I know how to make you talk!" His voice was low and filled with anger as he said it through his clenched teeth.My hands started to shiver at the thought of going through the same pain he just put me through a few hours ago.How to make me talk? Is ... is he going to hurt me the same way again?'you deserve it'My conscious replied.My eyes blurred with tears, and I just signed the contract without reading it so I could get this over with.I am bound to do everything he asks after I caused his life to turn upside down, or, should I say... I completely destroyed his life with a stupid mistake.I am in the wrong!I hurt him!I can't blame anyone, so ... so I am going to sign my life to him!He owns me from this moment on!I am ready to give my life to the man that I love the most, not for love but for my friends.I am ready to sacrifice my life for them.I felt him snatching the contact from my hold. This leads me to raise my head to look at the handsome face that I fell in love with.He turned the papers in the contract and raised an eyebrow, looking at me, and asked, "You didn't read the contract.".
I shook my head because I knew that I had to sign it, no matter what was written.
I moved back a little when he brought his face closer to mine and whispered in his deep voice, "Then read it now. All the rules you should follow are mentioned here. I don't want a clumsy slave.". slamming the contract in front of me on the table.I flinched, but I took the contract and started to read.
My eyes grow wide as I read each and everything. It looks worse than I imagined.
What?! Is he for real?
It is much worse than I thought? Yes, but do I get to complain? No, I don't.I knew my life would change drastically from now on. I should sacrifice all of my dreams, my family, and my friends.I took a long sigh, nodded my head, and gave back the contract to him like it didn't affect me, and he didn't like it.He took out his phone and called someone and said, "Fire all the maids in Rose Mansion, my slave can take care of that," He sounds angry, but why? Didn't I do everything he asked?I took a deep breath and let it out, staring at him, and opened my mouth to say something but stopped seeing his intimidating eyes glaring at me like, 'If you open your mouth, you are dead!'. Then he ends the call"Now get up, I wanted to see what I own," he orders, getting up from his seat and staring down at me.I gulped in fear but got up, following his order. My legs trembled in pain, but I forced them to stand still with his intimidating muscular body hovering over my little one.I fixed my eyes on the ground, not daring to look at those scary yet beautiful eyes.
"Strip!" His words felt like a dragger hitting my heart. I raised my head in shock to look at him with my wide-open eyes."I... what do you mean by that?!" my voice trembled. Fear and shame rose inside my chest, making it hard to digest."Didn't you read the contract? You belong to me! Everything about you is mine! So you should do everything I ask you to do," he said, like it's not a big deal, taking a step closer."But... these things?" My voice barely comes out as a whisper."Everything! You should do everything I ask you to do! This is nothing compared to the thing I am going to put you through. And now, show what belongs to me." He spat those cruel words, tearing my heart into pieces. I clinched my dress like it could disappear at any moment.
I didn't move and shook my head, standing on my feet and rejecting him.My head turned to the right as I felt a string on my left cheek.My eyes turned blurry with tears, and the pain was so unbearable.He... He slapped me!I moved a little under the force of his slap.It took a few seconds to recover from it, and then I turned to look at him with my teary eyes, which were wide open in shock. He grabbed my hair without giving me a second and said in his deep dark voice, "Obey me! If you dare to deny my orders, you will go through hell-like punishments." While staring at me with those intimidating eyes that I once fell in love with, but right now, they are unrecognizable.I nodded my head in fear and started to strip with my trembling hands. I tried to hold back my tears, not wanting to look weaker than this.Lucinda Ava's P O VPerfect!Just perfect!Everything about him is perfect!No one can own the word 'perfect' other than William Black I know people might say 'No one is perfect but, to me, he is perfect'. William Black is kind, and handsome with a face that even celebrities get jealous of. He is rich and the top businessman in the entire country, and he earned it on his own. He started his business from scratch and got there with his own hard work.Many people followed in others' footsteps while he did his own. He didn't care about all the hate and criticism from the haters. He was sitting on the top, unaffected. "Just perfect". I whispered while staring at his beautiful picture that I took 4 years before, and that was the very moment that I fell in love with him. Got a huge crush on him. My lips widen with a smile, thinking about tomorrow. My most important day. The day I am going to meet him and the day I will stand next to him. My heart almost jumped out of my chest in excite
Lucinda Ava's P O V "God! You are finally here!" Kylie let out a heavy breath in relief and then turned her voice to an angry one, saying "Why the hell are you so late?!". I turned to her with a huge smile, trying to cool her down. Then I paid for the cab, saying "Thank you". He just smiled at me and then drove away. "Traffic, you know?!" I replied casually, taking her hand in mine and trying to cool her down with a lie. There was no traffic, and I spent all these hours trying to look a little more beautiful with all the makeup that I never tried before. I never had the luxuries to own makeup or go to the salon. We could use that money to get something useful or a good meal for dinner. Many people might think that makeup is not that expensive, but for me, it is! It is so fucking huge for us, a family without a father and a mother with heart problems. The cost of her treatment is much more than we could afford, and we try our best not to spend money on anything, not even on dresse
Lucinda Ava's P O V Finally, I did a few errands to escape their stupid games and left before they could force me to play another stupid game of theirs. I don't know how their parents allow them to play with drugs like it is nothing. I shook my head and walks straight, trying my best not to let anyone know that I am drunk. This is my first time drinking so I have no idea how people like it! It is bitter, burns your throat and I can't even stand steady! But the most important problem now is, I can't let my mom know this! She will kill me! "Ouch!" I whispered, bumping into a wall! I can't even see the wall in front of me. I opened my eyes and saw it was not a wall but a person, so I raised my head to look and it is William! The William Black! I felt a warm sensation passing through my body, bringing me back to reality! I sobered up as I moved back a little, getting embarrassed and frustrated! How could I be so stupid?! What will William think about me?! "Ms. Ava? Are you okay?" his
William's P O V I stared at the scene in front of me in disbelief. How is this possible? What the hell is happening? How did everything turn out like this in just a few minutes of my absence? My brother Danial, who is so conscious about his public image that he never even got into an argument, is punching a guy to death. My eyes turned to the other fragile figure lying on the bed, covered in the quilt, but I could see that she was naked underneath. My eyes widened as I ran to her, covered her body completely, and carried her in my arms. So I could take her out from these prying eyes that are ready to destroy us in any little chance they get. "What the fuck are you looking at? Get out!" Noah shouted at the crowd, watching everything like it was some kind of entertainment. My brother saw this as he got up from the almost-dead body of whoever that fucker was. He walks up to me and stretched his arm and whisper shouted "Don't let that fucker die! he should fucking beg for his death!".
Daniel Black's P O V"Daniel! What are you doing?! Slow down!" I heard Lolita's voice fighting through all the voices in my head. I always fought back all the voices when I was with Lolita and tried to give her my full attention. She is the only one that makes me fight back those demons and do things that no one has ever done to me. Even William can't help me stop those demons, but .... Lolita did and now, she is the one that brought back all those nightmares. I finally realized that she has a lot more power over my life and thoughts than I realize. "Do you wanna know who this man is? He can give me what your father can't. He loves me and your father doesn't, so I am going to leave you and your father to be his son's mother". *flashes of Danial's mom sleeping with another man behind his father's back in their own home*"If you tell this to your father, then you are disgusting, just like your father""you don't deserve to be loved just like your father""I hate you!" "I regret giv
William Black's P O V "What the hell did you guys do to my daughter?!" an angry voice rang through the phone and I instantly knew he was Mr. Leonardo Adam, father of my sister-in-law.Do to his daughter? What is he talking about?"What are you talking about?!" I asked, getting up from my seat instantly in confusion covered with fear. My heart fell to my stomach in fear. A chill passed through my body, giving me a bad feeling."Don't fucking act like you don't know! I got a call that my daughter was in an accident! If something happened to her, then every one of you is fucking dead! Pray for her safety and long life," his voice is filled with anger as he spits out all those words. My body froze as I heard each of his words.He ended the call, leaving me in shock and fear. I am going through these fears after so fucking long. I couldn't even process what was going on.It is not possible! I am so sure that he had the wrong information! My brother will never drive fast when Lolita is with
William's P O V This huge luxurious hospital room was filled with a sterile smell, while my brother lying on the bed in the middle of the room with all the life support system. His chest is moving up and down in a mechanical rhythm, showing the only form of life in his body. His beautiful, kind eyes are closed, and his strong body becomes so weak that he can't even move. My body froze at the sight to the point I couldn't even move closer to him. I stood there, just staring at him, staring at the almost lifeless body in the bed. I felt an invisible hand crawling up to my heart and squeezing my heart in a painful hold. I couldn't do anything other than stand near the door and feel the most painful moment. "Come in and look at our brother, William," Noah's voice filled with his pain reached my ear while his eyes are staring at my unmoving form. He knows about me and my condition, he knows how much I love my brother, but one thing he doesn't know is how I feel! He must have known that
William Black's P O V"Fine," his words of agreement provided a momentary comfort, but his next statement struck me hard. "Just for 5 minutes." It is not enough! But…. do I have a choice? No, I don't! I am already grateful that I can see her for the last time.... and give her my goodbye for the last time. My heart tightens in pain with the invisible hand. "Yes, thank you," I whispered as the invisible hand around my heart unclenched a little. I turned to Noah and nodded, and he understood that we both could go in. Then we both walked toward the gate, where people stood ready to block us, brandishing their weapons, prepared to kill us at any moment. Mr. Leonardo's right-hand man, Mr. Jack, standing in front of everyone, received a call. His eyes never left us as he answered and started talking. His facial expression confirmed that he was conversing with Mr. Leonandro. Impatiently, I stepped forward with Noah. I couldn't bear to miss seeing Lolita at the very last moment. The call en
