Her Slavery His Redemption

Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Rosie’s POV

There was stillness in the room after he turned away from me and entered the joined door connecting both our rooms. I was not exactly sure what to do, I knew my stubbornness would not take me very far, but still, it was all I have.

‘Yes, Rosie. Our mate doesn't seem to like us?’My wolf whispered in my head

‘Our mate?! Whatever do you mean by that, Lily?’

‘Oops’ She welped, I was as shocked as she was. What was she saying?

‘No Lily, you are wrong. The alpha king is not our mate. Dan is. How can you mix the both of them together? Even though they are almost the same in character, they are simply nothing alike’ I cautioned her.

‘I have far more important things to worry about, Lily, than worry about a mate that didn't even live up to my expectations."

‘I am sorry, what do you intend to do?’

‘I don't know, Lily. But first, we have to find a way to survive’

It was taking too much time after he left the room, he wasn't coming back and I am not going to meet him. He must be furious by the minute.

Should I just accept my fate?, I am sure he didn’t pay that much money for me to act like this.

But wait a second. Why should I care? Oh God please, I should not have to pay for his decision to waste his money on an unsubmissive she-wolf.

I told myself I was going to go inside his room and give him a piece of my mind, but what I ended up doing was taking my clothes off.

I don't know, but it's almost like my sense of survival kicked in because I could sense danger in every moment of his back turned to me. Because every cuss of frustration that came out of his mouth frightened me.

No, he's completely different from Dan. There's something dangerous about him. And I don't know what it is.

“What the hel.l do you think you are doing?” I heard him growl at me, my shaking hands went to my throat, then to my cover my bare breast, leaving my dress hanging on my waist.

Fearfully, I spoke, choosing my words carefully “What have you brought me here to do?. Is this not why you bought me?” It was more of a rhetorical question, I already knew this, and I felt it was only a huge sacrifice to get an even greater reward. If only I could tame the beast and then I am able to find my way out of here.

“No” He growled, taking his eyes from my body. The expressionlessness on his face made me even more aware of the shameful thing I had just done. I had made fun of myself. I have shown myself to be a stupid person, yet again.

But I could not understand what he meant. “No?’ I looked up to the side of his face that was now facing me, “Then why am I here? Let me go”

“Put on your clothes or do you want me to rip them off completely and make you sit on the floor, like the slu.t you are?” He strode toward me like he was going to do what he just vowed to do.

“No, please. Just let me go” I pleaded as I fumbled to wear my dress again, but then because of how jittery my hands were, the fragile fabric of the dress tore.

For a second he paused, as if considering what had just happened and what I said. Then he moved past me into my room.

"You really want to leave this place don't you?" He said.

All I could do was nod my head twice.

He didn't answer immediately, he walked towards my bed and gestured for me to come over. Then I thought to myself, so this is it after all—the p*****t.

I commanded all the stability I could muster, straightened my back, and walked towards him as slowly as I could without collapsing on the floor.

It was then I realized that I hadn't really thought this through.

But as I got closer to him, he bent down and picked up one of my blouses, which he then handed over to me and said “Then pay me back what I paid to buy you”

“What? Where am I supposed to get half a million dollars?” I asked, totally stunned.

“Plus the food and the health you have been helped with”

Even though asking for those things back was somewhat petty, this was my chance, I was not about to let it go.

“I will pay your money, I will pay everything but you must promise. . .” I stopped myself and rephrased the words.

“You must give me your word and a signed note”

I wonder why he was looking at me so pitifully and with so much disdain. He must think so little of me, he must think there was no way I could get that money paid in years.

And that was true, there is no way I would get that much money, especially when I am stuck being his slave. But it's the only hope I have left. I thought.

The phone’s ringing snapped me back to reality. "It's settled then." He said in his rigid voice as he moved away from me.

Thank God! I thought as I wore my blouse and followed him back into his room.

“Jacob, speak,” he said to the person on the receiver’s end, his face without expression. Although I had not seen him with a lot of expressions, I knew this was serious.

He finished with the call and faced me, he really faced me this time, as if seeing me in another light

“You said, you want to work to pay me back,” He asked, but without waiting for me to answer he continued. “I need you to spy on someone for me. And if you love that your head is still intact on your neck, you will bring me positive news”

“Wait! I don't understand. What do you mean spy?” I asked in sheer disbelief.

“You don't ask! You just do what I tell you to do. Did you not hear the rules? In here only my words matter” He said, with his back to me as he sat on his chair.

"Rosie! What could he possibly mean? Lily asked in fear, I could feel it even before she made that statement. But she was giving me strength still, I could feel the urge to speak more and more for myself.

“Just because you bought me does not mean I will put myself in danger for you, you devil!” I saw his back stiffen as I said those words.

“That's exactly what you would do. Put your life on the line for me. I am your Lord! “

“By words and by paper. You don't own me because you threw some money away. In fact, I know you have a lot of it somewhere. I mean you are the king of this kingdom after all”

“I didn't think you know. I am the king and yet you speak to me this way! Without fear in your eyes, without trembles oozing out from your body”

“Not when you have no desire for human lives! How did you become a king like that?”

I was getting to him, I could feel his anger directed towards me, and maybe he would finally lose his cool and put his hands to my throat, choking the life out of me. I was tired.

Dying here wouldn't be such a bad idea, after all my life seems more hopeless by the second.

Instead, He walked to his bed, took a dagger from the bedstand and he started to exit the room.

“Wait!” Why was he ignoring me when I just said something so demeaning and disrespectful? A king would have my head, especially a king like him.

“I have nothing to say to you, slave. Go back to your room and prepare for tomorrow”

His voice was dangerously low now. But still, I didn't relent. . .

“Tomorrow? What is happening tomorrow?” I asked but I met with no replies as he left without giving me another look.

Lily, I think I am doomed! We are doomed!
