Chapter 3

Stephenson POV

♧♧♧

"Where is she ?" I ask as the guards as they open the car door for me

"She's inside

Althaia is with her " Scott answers as he guides me in

Travis opens the door for the living room

Scott and Travis

The guards to watch her

And Althaia, a old women to take care of her

I had her fly down from Greek

So my new lady will feel home

I see her small figure on the couch , her back facing to me

Scott takes a step inside , along with me

But I raise my hands and he steps back

Althaia stands up straight as she hears my footstep

I nod at Althaia , In approval

I stare at her young body , which has got harden

Her breathing heavy

I take a step forward and she fists her dress in her little palm

Out of fear or nervousness

I don't want to scare her

But I want her to know

Who she belongs to

Who is her master

I want her to know , who Stephenson Colton is.

She belongs to me

"What's your name ?" I ask her , trying to keep my voice low

Not wanting to frighten her

Althaia translates my words in greek so she will understand

I stare at her , stare at how she gets goosebumps hearing me

The way she swallows the lump in her throat before a small voice comes out

As answer

"Penelope " she answers

Her voice too low

And her hands shaking, already

"Louder " I say out loud and she flinches at my audacity

"Penelope Barlos "

She answers

Her voice a bit high but with a soft sob

I stand at my foot

Not wanting to see those tears

Her shoulders drop , as she brings his palm wiping away those tears

Althaia takes a step forward to help her

But my stern nod ,makes her rooted in her step

"Stop crying " I take a step forward

I look up to Althaia and she leaves the room in a minute

I'm sure my greek knowledge is plenty , to deal with her

And the way my words is impacting on her

I'm also sure that she can understand , what we are talking about

It's not just the audacity

But my words too

I pull the chair as I settle down in front of her

She has her eyes fixed on her bare foot

And I take a good look on her

Her small bare foot

The light coloured dress which is she's wearing on , her hair tied up in a loose braid

Her blushed cheeks which holds a stain of tear

" look at me " I order and she complies as she blinks her tear

Her long lashes ,looks darker just like her sea coloured, blue eyes

"My name is Stephenson Colton

The man , you belong to "

Her eyes stares at me deeper as she hears me

Her lips parted

Her eyes holds mine and I glare back at her

Whatever she is looking through my eyes

She will never be able to find it

"Your my responsibility Penelope

Mine to care

Mine to look after

I can be good

If you want me

But my definition of good varies from other definitions

You behave well

You listen to me

Comply to my orders

You will be safe

And sound

I hold a name

A legacy on my back

An empire , that I run

If you try to any way break it

Let's say , try to run away

Do something I don't want you to do "

My voice gets lower as I continue

And my eyes stare at her

Coldly

"I'll have you thrown out

To where you belong to

I didn't pay a billion , to keep up with your tantrums and your silly lame fights

I am a very busy man with priorities and you ?

Aren't one

So , try to run?

I'll show you

Your place "

My voice comes with a warning , it's not s threat

But the truth I want her to know

The way her lips starts to shiver in fear , makes me sound like a bastard to myself

But I don't have a choice

Except to tame her

To mold her

She's mine

When I say , mine

I mean it

She's going to mother , my kids

But for now , I keep that little information to myself

Not wanting to scare her more

"Do you understand?" I ask her

As I stand up

And she nods

"Good

Let's see how much you have understood "

I kick the chair behind me as it moves away ,giving me enough space to command

To be in position of control

"Up "

"Stand up " I order and she gets up rubbing her sweaty palm against her dress

"Go call the people

Your new family to protect , to care

Call them

Saying that the boss wants to see them "I order as I pull out the cigarette from my pocket

As I light it up

She takes her step slow , like she's just learnt how to walk

I see her hands shake as she tries to open the door

But struggles as the large wooden door looks likea mountain infront of her

Her tiny little palm against the door makes me realize how young she is

Seventeen years old

Her voice barely makes it out as she opens the door

But her tiny hands raises up as she points at me

And everybody walks in

"Travis , you will look after the house requirements

Scott , you will look after the ladies

Their safety and well being

Althaia, you will look after Penelope

Very carefully

Her every need and demand

Even a small sneeze from her tiny mouth, will be reported back to me

Hear me ?"

Everybody nods at me in approval

And my stern voice leaves a echo in the room

"She can have anything she wants

Inside this house

Her new home "

I stare at her face as she looks at me with her sad eyes

"I'll be watching you Penelope

There are cameras and speakers all over the house "
