Chapter 6
Matilda Vaughn POV
■■■
“You”
His one word burned inside me…
Leaving me Stunned
Raged the demons inside my head
Turned the fire
And I didn't want to hold the anger that was fuming over
“I'm not a f*****g toy.
I'm not an object”
I screamed, not caring about the consequences my words will hold.
His eyes didn't flinch, or he gives any kind of reaction to my words
“Let me go”
I realized my hands were free, my legs as well
But no way I would cross the men in the room, let alone the devil who sat in front of me.
“They are going to look for me.
My friends will know that I'm missing.
My boyfriend will know something is wrong.
They will take help from the police.
And will come looking for me.
Let me go, and I will not utter a word.
Or else if they find me, you will be ruined”
I tried again.
Feeling weak
Losing my mind
This wasn't a nightmare where I could just go back to sleep and wait until it's over..
This was really happening
In reality
Everything felt dark, just like the room they had me on
“Leo”
He took his person's name
And Leo walked in, pulling out his phone as he played a video
And he faced the screen towards me
Dylan
It was Dylan
“That f*****g bastard had booked a hotel room to take you after the prom.
Which is officially over now”
Hendrick comments, no emotion or whatsoever in his voice.
You can't even tell if he is a person or a machine
His voice is so rich that, you sense that its someone else
And his features are divine that it doesn't match to his character.
He wasn't the hero
But he was the opposite
“Don't hurt him”
I scream, as I see someone beat Dylan up as they try to hold the camera to Dylan's face.
“It's not a live video.
But if you obey, there will be fewer consequences”
Sevas stated, like he wanted me to understand that.
And Hendrick lifted his eyes at him, a smirk playing on his lips
“Don't ask her to obey sevas.
Don't.
I want to see how she will disobey me.
That's more fun.
Don't you think?”
He commented
And the whole room let out a chuckle.
Or it was in my head…
But I felt everybody had turned towards me and had the last laugh
“Hendrick, please”
I whispered
And as he heard his name being taken, he bought his eyes back at mine.
“See, I like her already”
He commented, his eyes staring at me…
Hunting for something
“Let me go.
Please”
I know my words might stand for no consideration.
But I didn't want to give up
I didn't want to accept anything
“No”
He stated, simply, and I slammed my hands against the chair I was on…
The loud sound echoed in the room
I knew how to fight.
I could escape.
Furthermore, I shouldn't fear about the consequences
But it was the fact that my father was being watched, made me shiver
Scared
The fact that Dylan was under their mercy, had me stay helpless.
That I didn't even want to try
Because I was afraid of the consequences
“My father will come for me.
The minute he knows what you have done.
He will come to get me.
Then you can do nothing.
You will pay the price.
My dad will make you pay the price”
I Gritted out the words.
Confident
And Hendrick stared at me
Still Smirking
“Sevas, call Benjamin”
He ordered And I stared at him
Not understanding what he was up to
How can someone be this cruel?
“He's on the call”
Within a second,sevas handed the phone to Hendrick
“Put the call on speaker”
Hendrick ordered…
Leaning forward, staring at my features
“Boss is on line.
Speak now”
Someone on the other end of the call ordered
And I heard my father's voice.
“Master…” with a breathy tone
“Papa.
It's me.
Papa…
They kidnapped me”
I screamed out, my voice trembled.
Before they could suppress my voice,, I let out my words
But none of the men in the room reached or tried to get me quiet
“That's right.
I have your daughter here Benjamin.
You failed to make the p*****t.
And I took my repayment, as I would like.
I want her”
Hendrick grabbed the phone from sevas, as he stood on his step.
“She will be mine, henceforth.
Do you have a problem with that, Benjamin ?”
He asked And my tears stung in my eyes.
There was a second of silence before I heard the word which destroyed all the hope in me.
Especially when I knew it was from my father…
“No”
Hendrick grabbed me by my shoulder, as he forced me on my step
But I felt weak, I fell against his hard chest
“That's right.
I'll give you a second.
Come on, tell your last and final words to your daughter”
He ordered, his eyes staring at me as he bought the phone close to my ears.
Like he wanted me to hear them
Clearly
I clenched my eyes shaking my head as I heard my father's low voice
“I'm sorry”
And then the line went dead
“Is there anyone else?
That you want me to call and tell them that you are with me?”
He asked, as he ran his hand down my back…
And I felt my eyes dizzy..
Tears burned the darkest holes inside me
And I felt weak
But I was a fighter
But I couldn't even stand on my feet..
“I own you, Matilda.
Your mine.
And hear me out”
He lifted my jaw..
Forcing me to face him.
I had never left this weak or helpless in my whole life.
Today it felt like my wings were cut.
And I was thrown into the shallow
“Are you listening?”
He stressed his words, as he pressed his hand over my waist
Pulling me closer against his rock-hard chest
“Say yes, Hilda.
Because I want you to listen to this.
Very carefully”
He stressed leaning forward.
His lips close to mine
And I parted my lips, as I murmured “Yes”
“You belong to Hendrick Erasmus Castillo”
His words played strong in my ears
And like he was sealing the deal, he kissed the corner of my mouth..
And I gave in ,as I let my body fall
Hoping all this will be a nightmare that would be gone if I ever wake up again..
My eyes shut down,
knowing the darkness was better than to ever have them open,
But the strong grip on my body didn't fail.
He held me strong against him
His words echoed in my mind, as my body shut down
You belong to Hendrick Erasmus Castillo
