Can't let you go

Chapter 9: What's his problem?

Jungkook was standing in front of Lisa's door only in his night robe. Lisa was confused to see him there at the time and so was just staring at him while furrowing her brows. Seeing she isn't much pleased to see him Jungkook clears his throat and says, " I want to talk to you about something that will be of interest to you. Let me in."

Hearing this Lisa steps aside from the door gesturing him to step in.

LISA'S POV:

Now that confuses me even more. Something that will be of interest to me? Since when did he started caring about my interest? It must benefit him too, more beneficial to him than me. He went and sat down on a couch near my bed. I sat on my bed.

"I want you to continue your schooling here." ,he said.

Whaatt?!! He is letting me continue my studies? Well this is indeed of interest to me. But why is he being nice? There must be a twist in this. Seeing my confused expression he continued,

" You will attend the most prestigious school here from next week. Princess Rose wants  to let you attend school with her and so I suggested that you will attend with her as her lady in waiting. You have to take care of her in school and try being close with her."

I knew it. I knew he had something going on. Being the sly fox he is he must have suggested me to be Princess' lady in waiting so that he can improve his impression and also to monitor her.  This person is very selfish. I knew he had a purpose in this but still I kind of feel hurt. I feel sad being a tool in his hands, doing everything he says. Somehow unknowingly I frowned thinking this. 

"What are you being bitter about? I am letting you study in the most prestigious school of our country and you don't have to pay for it. You can continue your studies as you wanted to. This is advantageous for you." , he said with a loop sided smirk.

Hearing his words I feel more agitated. I know he is right. This is an opportunity for me, I want to fulfill my dream of being a doctor, but he will only let me study till it is useful to him. I don't think he will let me continue my higher studies, that way it will be useless in end. Also I don't want to benefit him knowing it will be less beneficial to me.

"So what you think?", he asked.

"What if I manipulate the Princess against you and this plan of yours backfires?", I asked slowly.

He was for a moment taken back but then he smirked.

"Doll do you think I will let you roam free? I have men all around the place. You do something foolish or try to sabotage me, I will know everything."

I frowned at this statement. So he is planning to send his spies everywhere I go? I was already irritated from him and this statement only adds fire to my agitation. 

"I am not a doll you bastard!! You will send people behind me in school too? What will you even get from marrying the poor princess? You don't even love her. You just want her status. You are no different from any rogue man out there. I feel pity for her if she will have a husband like you who thinks of people as assets.", I shouted.

Suddenly his smirk disappeared and his face became dark. He was angry hearing what I said. Suddenly I was pushed on the bed. In the blink of an eye he was now over me, pressing me down on the bed. I looked up in his eyes that were empty, soulless. They kind of scare me. Then he started moving close to my face. I was struggling under him, trying to breakfree, but he is way more stronger than me. Now his face was inches away from my face. I could feel his breath on my face. I turned my face to look sideways but he pulled my face by chin to face him. We were looking in each others eyes, mine filled with hatred and his empty.

"Yes I am like any other rogue man on street, I crave power. I am a horrible person, selfish, cruel, and what not, but you can't do anything about it right? And I think you are forgetting,                  you are my asset, I have technically bought you. So you should do what you are told to do otherwise---"

"I will not listen to you. I don't care what you do to me now, kill me or anything, I will not do what you say."

I didn't let him finish his sentence. His words disgusts me. He just chuckled a bit and said,

"Doll you are forgetting about your aunt. Will she be able to suffer my ruthlessness?"

I froze. That sentence drained all the confidence I had in myself. I just looked at him, trying to appear strong when in the inside I was scared. This man is not a normal person, on top of that he is kind of crazy. If he wanted exterminate anyone from the surface of earth.

" As I expected. You don't want your aunt's and her fiancé's life ruined. What a good niece you are. Then it is settled. You will attend the school with the princess. Don't mess things up and remember--"

He came close to my ear and whispered,

"You are a doll that I bought, Doll."

With that he got off me and went outside my room.

 I feel like shit. My dignity was trampled by that man. I am helpless. A lone tear comes out of my eyes followed by a ton of them. I miss my parents. I wish the come back and take me out of this place. Suddenly I feel like screaming my heart out. I feel so weak. I walk to the bathroom to wash my face. Standing in front of mirror I see a defeated women with tar stained face. I feel like just giving up but suddenly I remembered my dreams.

"No Lisa. You will not give up. You are strong. You will get out of this place, out of his hands, and fulfill your dreams."

I promised myself to find a way to get away from him. I decided to obediently follow his orders right now till I find a way out of here. I then convinced myself to sleep.
