1037 Words
" You have to understand, my dearest, this is for the betterment of the family. You have to do this", her mother said to her.
She was drowned in her tears biting pain on her lips. How could they do this to her? Her eyes had been blindfolded ever since they stepped into the mansion. She didn't know where she was or what color the chair she was sitting on looked like.
To her this is frustrating. Her parents keep on telling her to stay that she's doing the right thing. And she never wants to stay! Not with a man who she doesn't know and irritates her! Why can't her parents see this? She gritted her teeth, trying to hold on to herself. Maybe this is a dream, and she needs to wake up from it!
" My mother and I would try to visit you from time to time. You don't need to be afraid, okay", her father said, making assurance of that.
Are they leaving her here to suffocate to death at the hands of that monster? Although her eyes were blindfolded, that didn't mean she wouldn't hate the beast who suggested her parents choose between her and company.
"Sweetheart, we promised to visit, okay?" Her mother added and touched her shoulder to ensure her, her words.
"Your time is up Mr. and Mrs. Jones" they heard a voice and turned. It wasn't the man but one of his men standing in the room waiting for the parents to get on with them, whatever they want to say to their daughter before they leave.
The couple saw that it wasn't the man and hurried up to hug their daughter before heading out.
"No mum, no dad, you can't leave me here alone! Please don't leave me! " She cried, but her parents were hopeless. The deal has been done and no turning back on it. They have chosen the company over their daughter and nothing can be done about that again!
The girl continued to wail miserably until she no longer heard the footsteps of her parents in the room again. The room became silent like a desert. "Is this real or am I just day dreaming?" She said to herself.
She was snoring and couldn't dare to take off her blindfold. She was warned by her parents not to take it off. Now, they're gone, she's still scared of them. After a few minutes, she heard loud footsteps approaching. She was scared and chose to remain quiet, but her snoring still made little sounds.
"Grabbed on her" a voice command, it's wasn't the beast-man but it's another voice, the one that command her parents out a few minutes ago. Before she knew what was going on. Two men grabbed her hands and lifted her up.
"W-where are you taking me?" She asked, looking frightened. Now her parents ain't there, there is no one to save her. No one! She tried to fight off her hands in the men's grip but they were way stronger than her.
"I think you should stop that milady if you don't want to provoke the master" the man's voice warned her. It seems true, no matter how hard she fights, she can't escape from the men's grip. So, she stops and obeyed to calm down.
They keep on walking with no reason for stopping. Where the hell are they taking her to? She thought to herself. As the men remained silent and didn't utter a word to her.. she asked
"Can I take off my blindfold?"
"I don't think so, milady; the master wouldn't like that. You should keep it on until you're told to" the man said politely to her..she kept muted and counted her steps along with the men.
After 30 minutes of walking, they stopped.
"Sir, the girl is here", the man said and bowed his head along with the others.
The unknown man was sitting majestically on a black couch, checking on files on the table in front of him.
"Call me Anna," he said, without looking in the direction of the woman before him. Immediately, one of the men left and returned with a woman in her 30s wearing a maid-like outfit that looked white.
"Master" she greeted and bowed.
"Take her to her room" he ordered, without taking a glimpse in her direction. Bianca had kept quiet for some time because she hadn't heard the voice of the monster who ordered her here, but now she had. She was more provoked.
"You bastard!" She yelled, struggling with the men who held her down. "You scumbag!" She kept on calling him names. The unknown man stopped the pen rolling in his hand and lifted his face slightly at the woman before him.
" What did you just say?" He asked calmly.
The men and the woman in the room immediately bowed down their heads. Because they know the type of master they served.
"You heard me right" she responded boldly . The man chuckled devilishly at the woman as his eyes were fiery. He reclined his back calmly on the couch while his fiery eyes fed on her.
"Not too bad for a girl like you. Now take her out of my sight!" He commanded harshly and the men immediately grabbed her along despite her fighting and screaming.
He sat comfortably on the couch and smiled.
"She's going to make a good mistress."
.........
Bianca was dragged along with the men beside each side of her. Anna, the handmaid of the house, slammed the door open and the lady was brought in. Her blindfold was taken off by one of the men. Now she can see where she is. The first thing that caught her gaze was the surroundings of the flourishing room she was in. She was stunned but didn't let it show in her face as she angrily turned her head to look in the direction of the maid and the men.
"I don't want to stay here!" She yelled, but no one said a word to her. They step out, ignoring her yelling, and shut the door behind them.
"Asshole! Tell your stupid boss, he can't keep me here forever!"
