Standing in front of Khalid's room, the guard knocked and after sometime, Khalid's voice replied:
"Let her in and leave".
The guard opened the door and ushered the nervous Octavia in, while he shut the door afterwards and left.
Octavia's hands were almost shaking beside her as she walked into the room and met Khalid in front of the window.
Smoke was emitting from his corner due to the pipe he smoked and at a point, they almost made Octavia choke.
She squeezed her eyes tight due to the smoke but when she felt Khalid turn to look at her, she quickly pushed them open.
"G...Good evening, Master" she greeted mildly, her heatt playing rhythmetical beats.
She couldn't recall the last time she had been in this room, and having to be in it at this moment was really making her nervous.
"Octavia" he called gruffly as
Octavia could feel all the blood draining from her body. Her legs grew so cold and shook slightly as he turned away from her, walking back to the table.Good lord! He was really gonna do it? Even with how pale she looked? Because she was pretty sure her pallid mood should be obvious enough.With shaky hands, she took off her remaining dress and walked to the neatly arranged bed.She climbed on it, laying flat on her tummy. And as she did, she felt a little pain on her lower abdomen.Khalid emptied his drink and turned around to behold the prepared sight on his bed. He was pleased with it.He took off his shirt and took steady strides towards the bed to meet her.The bright lights in the room suddenly went off, leaving just the bright ones. And Octavia could clearly hear the Master's footsteps. Oh! They were scaring the life out of her.
Khalid stopped abruptly, his eyes in-between her legs.Octavia was already drawing her breath, finding it so relieving he'd stopped.Oh, goodness!Did she just say soemthing? Did she just spill the truth?Oh! Octavia! No. Octavia!"Octavia..." He called gruffly, his eyes still resting in between her legs, his brows furrowed in confusion."Why're you bleeding?"Octavia was a little shaken at the question.Bleeding?? She was bleeding??God! No.She gasped and withdrew from him since his hold around her had already lessened as well.Then, she looked down to her legs and saw the little stain. God! No. No."Octavia?" Khalid called, his single word containing so many questions.Octavia could feel it.&nb
Master Klaus was having a drink in his room when one of his boys came in, bearing goodnews. "We've gotten the girl, Master" he said and Klaus' cheeks got heated up instantly. "Perfect" he mumbled and poured himself some more drink. "Where's she?" "She's in the empty room - still asleep" "Good job. When she's awake, you let me know". "Yes Master". And the guard bowed and left. Klaus chuckled and drank from his glass, feeling so delighted with himself. Shortly, the door opened and Madagascar walked in. Madagascar- one of his trusted boys and the same person that had helped him with the arrow on Khalid. Tho, it didn't work out. "Madagascar" he beamed. "I've heard the good news. Octavia's in our custody"
Khalid was still motionless, didn't say a word as he listened to the call.Klaus couldn't hide his surprise any longer and scoffed."Are you even listening to me, Khalid?" Anger was cohorent in his voice.Then, Khalid breathed out and finally said: "you must be a fool Klaus, to think I'd ever such a thing. Stepping down for you - is something I'll never do even in death".Klaus vibrated in anger and mockery all through but tried all he could not to let it show."Well..." He sighed and said. "I'd have killed her right away, since your decision is already made. But then...she still has 12 hours to live. So, I'll keep that promise. Bye" And he dropped the call.Khalid clenched his fists as he brought the phone down from his ear and turned around to face the balcony.He could feel it - that anger. But it was something he was
"I'm sorry..." Mica's voice trialed off, although she had no idea why she was being sorry.Khalid's brows furrowed, together with a crumpled look that accompanied it as he stared at Mica on her knees.Pregnant? Octavia was pregnant?"For who?" He muttered and Mica looked at him"Who's responsible for it?"Mica would've said she was almost surprised he was asking such a question, but hell, she wouldn't blame him."F... For...For you, Master" she answered, her eyes going back to the floor.Something in Khalid's heart melted. He didn't entirely know what it was, but he could feel it. It melted.He scoffed and turned around, backing her.Mica wanted to talk further, to explain why they didn't tell him about it and decided to do it on their own.To explain how scared Oc
Mica was standing quietly in front of the window, not doing anything in particular.Her head was heavy and couldn't even think of anything else.In a few hours from now, her sister was going to be killed. She was going to be wasted.Oh! If only she had known, if only she had foreseen such act, they wouldn't had left the building in the first place. Or when the men had attacked them by the roadside, she'd have fought harder. Why didn't she give it her best, huh? Why?She shook her head painfully.This was all their father's fault. If he hadn't been such a worthless father to sell his own daughter out in the first place, none of this would've happened.Octavia prolly wouldn't be here and being in such a mess. It was just too dangerous for her.Oh! How much she hated him and wished to punch him in the face If she ev
Octavia kept thinking throughout the walk to the Master's room. She couldn't deny feeling so nervous; so so nervous.What if he wants to punish her for leaving the clan? Or punish her for making him do whatever he did to bring her out?Oh! She felt she was in a lot of trouble. And the worst part, she was feeling so sick and tired.With the guard still holding her arm, they arrived at his doorstep and knocked and after some seconds, his deep, yet sweet masculine voice replied:"Let her in".The boys understood he wanted only Octavia in and without hesitation, they opened the door and signaled her to go in and she did.She took in a deep anxious breath as she walked into the room which was a little dark. The dim lights were the only things helping matters else, it would've been completely dark.Unlike the other times when she'd have bee
Octavia's heart was beating rapidly. This wouldn't be the first time she'd be going n@ked in front of him, but this time around, she felt so scared as the fear of him wanting to have s*x niggled at her. She really wasn't ready.She took in a deep breath and running out of options, decided to do as he said. So, she walked towards the door, opened it and stepped out of the bathroom.Khalid was sitting on the bed,his eyes glued to his phone and Octavia felt unusually shy as she walked closer to him, her hands in front of her.She noticed he'd changed - his shirt. He was now putting on a white shirt with the three upper buttons exposed, giving him that mafia look.When Khalid lifted his eyes from the phone to look at her, she lowered hers immediately to the floor, then stopped walking. She felt she was close enough."Turn around" Khalid's icy voice said and sh
