1101 Words
Ariana's p.o.v
The day quickly went by, I ate my food and slept peacefully, in the morning I took a bath and dressed up in my usual clothes, I was still scared of trying on the dresses and shoes.
As I walked downstairs I looked around making sure not to bump into the cold man, yesterday I was careful and didn't bump into him, I slowly stepped down the stairs and looked at the huge room in front of me.
"I shouldn't walk in there, remember Ari, always avoid the cold scary man." I said to myself loudly.
When I heard someone clear their voice behind me, I quickly turned and came face to face with cold brown eyes.
I quickly faced the ground, my heart was beating rapidly, my mind wondered what he would do to me, hit me? Maybe starve me, perhaps lock me up for a long time.
He walked downstairs and stood in front of me.
"Move brat." He ordered coldly as I quickly did, he walked past me and went into the big room, I quickly walked back into my room and closed the door as a tear rolled on my cheek, I slowly went to my bed and sat down sadly.
When the door opened I quickly stood up, Triza walked in, when she looked at me, her face instantly softened.
"Are you crying?. There is no need for that." She said softly as more tears rolled on my cheeks.
"I want to go back home, I'm scared of him, he hates me." I cried.
"Who?. Do you mean Brandon?. Honey Brandon doesn't hate you, he actually likes you, I can tell, you are the first girl his ever bought here, look, his the one whose even sent me here, to help you pick something nice to wear." She said as I stopped crying and looked at her blankly.
She moved and opened the wardrobe.
"Feel free to put on anything, this is your room, these clothes are for you." She said then pulled a beautiful yellow dress.
"Go and try this on." She cheered me on with a smile.
I moved and got the dress, then walked into the bathroom, I took off my dirty clothes and wore the beautiful dress. I smiled when it fit me perfectly, I quickly came out with a wide smile.
"You sure are beautiful." She said then got my hand.
"I think we should do something about your hair, it's a little dirty, don't you think?" She asked.
"I don't want to bother you, I'm grateful for the dress already." I answered honestly.
"Nonsense, come." She said as she grabbed my hand and walked downstairs with me and into the room, where we found the cold man sited reading a newspaper.
He didn't look at us nor put the paper down.
"Brandon, how about taking this little angel to a saloon?. She has beautiful, long hair, sadly it's scruffy and dirty." She said as I looked at her and shook my head.
No way was I going anywhere with that man. He slowly put the paper down and looked at me, I quickly looked away.
"The ladies are busy cleaning around and Shadrach went to drop something off." She said as the man stood up with a low groan.
"Or we could always cut her hair." She said as I gasped loudly.
"No please, I love my hair." I pleaded in a whine.
The man looked at me with a raised brow, then walked past us. Triza smiled then walked out of the house with me, we found a car parked near the front door, master was in it.
Triza went around with me and opened the front door for me, I hesitated but got in, she closed the door and waved.
As the car took off, I looked outside uncomfortably admiring the sun and sky, I smiled widely thinking of a lot of times when I usually climbed on top of the house roof just to watch the stars.
Peter would always join and make jokes mostly, I laughed softly thinking about his jokes, when I turned and found the man looking at me seriously, my smile instantly faded.
Why was he looking at me?. It made me feel so uncomfortable.
When his phone rang I felt relieved, he picked it up and answered it after putting it on loudspeaker.
"Babe it's me?" A female voice said.
"And you are?" He asked coldly.
"Greater, Remember Last week we went for a drive and had great fun in bed after that." She said sweetly.
"I only do one-night stand, I don't f**k the same girl twice." He answered loudly.
I watched in shock as he moved his hand and threw his phone outside the window.
I quickly looked away before he could look at me. I wondered what his words meant, I didn't really want to think much about it so I continued staring at the sky, soon the car pulled over near a big building were I saw Shadrach leaning against a car next to ours.
I quickly came out without thinking and ran to him happily, he knelt down and hugged me as I smiled.
He pulled back and laughed softly, even though I didn't trust him, he was the only one I was comfortable with around.
"Look at you, the dress looks so perfect." He said as I smiled shyly.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I'm here to take you to a saloon and accompany you for lunch." He answered then kept quiet and bowed low, when I turned, I found the man standing in front of me.
"Master, I will take care of her." Shadrach whispered.
The man looked at me for a minute, then turned and walked back to his car.
"He's scary." I whispered.
Shadrach stood upright and laughed softly.
"Master is not scary, he's just always serious, you know when you get to know him more, you will get to see his good and kind nature. I know that right now he seems like a bad person, but with time, you will be able to see for yourself that he isn't." He said as I faced him then smiled.
"So where are we going now?" I asked with a smile.
"You will see, first get in the car." He answered while opening the back door for me.
I happily got in and lay down with a soft chuckle.
"Drive away driver." I ordered playfully when Shadrach entered the car.
"Roger that, boss lady." He answered then started the car.
