CHAPTER 9 - CONDITIONS

'What does it mean, when it says that the slave has to stay with you?' I asked, although by now I already knew the answer, I still had to clarify what little doubts I had.' You will live with me in my mansion' he said, his voice making my heart race.

'Where?' I asked 'here' I moved my gaze around the apartment, to be more specific, this penthouse. It never had the touch of a person living here, everything so precise and accurate, like it was sculpted to be that way.

'Not here' he chuckled, his deep voice vibrating as he spoke ' you will be coming with me to my mansion, it's on an Island I own, we will be leaving tomorrow' he said and I had to process all the information.

'Tomorrow!!!!' I screamed in a shrill voice.

'Yes, Miss Mia' he said in a deep tone, I always wondered how he maintained his decorum, his voice monotone with no variation.

'But I have my family here, my job, my friends' I reasoned. His jaw tightened a little.

'Did you not willingly come into the black slave market, knowing the consequence, or I presume you were unaware when you joined, which inevitably is a Joke'.

'Yes, in fact, I was kidnapped. Do you seriously think I would like to be treated this way, like a slave,' I backfired, remembering all the unpleasant events that took place.

'I see, that is why you are wild' he smiled, his lips dry, standing out from his clean-shaven face.

'Many women come to me for pleasure, while you reject it,' he says thinking.

'I am not like other women' I fired back; a deep sorrow wrapped my heart as the fact that he had slept with many women came slapping at my face.

'You have no choice, Miss Mia, the choice to choose was taken away the moment you stepped into that hall, amongst those men, auctioned and sold to me, now all you have left is your body, which will satisfy my need,' he spoke like a true businessman.

'I can give you this day off, to tell your goodbyes to your family and friends as this is your first time. I don't want police banging on my door in search of you, I hate complications' he said, his fingers clasped into each other.

'I will be free after one year, right' I asked, hoping that at least by then I could get rid of him since there is no escape now.

He was taking me to his own island, so he has a private plane whose trips are at his command. I just have to obey him for a year and then I will be free, free from this dark world I was never meant to step in.

'That depends on how well you perform' he smiled getting up. He always had this menacing aura around him.

'I need 10 MILLION' I spoke, my eyes shut tight, not wanting to hear his refusal. ' I...I am just borrowing, I will...lll pay you back later, I...I Prom...mise' I stuttered.

With this money, I could help Mona pay off her debt, and then I can completely focus my mind on getting out of here. I know he is a rich man with many companies under his finger, considering he lives in such a lavish penthouse and paid 100 billion. It still gives me the creeps imagining the amount he spent to buy me. Coming back, probably giving me a few millions, won't make him go bankrupt.

'You always seem to surprise me, Miss Mia' he spoke in a deep voice, stepping closer towards me. His scent acting as a catalyst to my arousal.

'What makes you think, I will oblige to your demands when I have paid 100 billion buying you?' he asked. I know this was not right of me to ask, but I had to. There was no other way out.

I tightened my heart, bringing in all the positive energy, and looked up at him, my eyes strong and my resolve firm. I had to give off an impression of a person not to be messed with.

'Well, then there is no guarantee that I would stop myself from escaping each time you put me under locks' I said with a stern look but my body gave away as goosebumps surfaced my skin. I was scared, how could I not? After all, I was confronting a dark man who had no mercy for lives.

He looked at me for a few seconds, as I held my breath, not wanting to lose to his intimidation. He took out his cell phone and called someone. 'Bring in my checkbook' he said and turned his gaze towards me.

'you should know this favour will come with a hefty price' he said coming closer to my face, and I was stagnant like water, unable to move nor breathe, I could feel the pressure building up inside me.

'Breathe' he said, his mint smell enveloping my face. Under his command, I let the air inside me gush out. We were so close, only inches apart, making me nervous about his next plot.

In a second, his lips crashed mine, sucking my upper lip and then moving down, there was heat rushing through me, I have never felt this way before. Every time I had a kiss with my boyfriends it felt disgusting or repulsive, but now I wanted more, my body was craving for more. Although I wanted to resist, I was already leaning in towards the kiss, my eyes closed, I could sense the way he carefully ignited my lower half.

'Sir' a man's voice interrupted us, and I suddenly broke apart the kiss, looking anywhere other than his eyes. I was nervous and bothered by how he made me feel. Never had I felt this way before. My body was excited.

He went back to the man who stood next to the sofa receiving a slip. I am guessing he was his personal butler or a bodyguard, dressed with a white shirt and black pants, having a shade of black on his eyes, not to mention the earpiece he wore, he looked a solid character from the English spy movies.

When my master took out his pen to sign, I was surprised. It was one of the limited editions, Aurora Diamante Fountain Pen costing nearly up to 2 Million. There are diamonds embedded in it and a platinum barrel.

Selling that pen would pay off Mona's debt. To think that such a tiny thing would be worth so much, and to have it just a few inches away from me, was truly a miracle.I dint notice how deeply I was immersed until the man started flipping it around his captivating fingers.

'I see Miss Mia is interested in this pen,' he said looking at me.

' oh no...no....I was just thinking how beautiful it is' I said, ' I mean don't take this the wrong way, I work in finance, so to see such a tiny object worth millions is truly magnificent' I finished hesitantly.

He signed, ' Mr. Richard here will drop you to your home, We will be leaving at sharp 9:00 am tomorrow, If I see you running late or escaping, then ....' He gave an evil, sinister smile, like a devil who doesn't excuse disobedience. 'I will be on time. Thank you' I bowed, following the bodyguard outside.
