Malik - Z.M (Book 1, Malik Series)

32.

Last chapter was private btw!!!!!

I had spent most of the time listening to Taylor rambling on and on about how much she hates all the other slaves.

Apparently Sabina is one of the top slaves. She's the main eyes and ears of the slave wing for Zayn.

So in other words, she is Zayns bitch, watch dog.

I didn't hear much else from what she was saying. I was so numb and too far in my head to say anything to her.

By the time the food had ordered arrived, the room was completely silent.

Taylor had tried plenty of times to find a way out of the room, but when I told her that we're being recorded, she soon stopped.

"I just wish that, we weren't abducted they way we did." Taylor mumbles annoyed as she bites into her burger.

"I mean. If I had a choice, I might have said yes."

I give her a look and she shrugs.

"Okay I may not have. But I just want to get out of here. I know he's going to kill me."

I shake my head. "Zayn won't kill you "

Taylor rolls his eyes. "Sure. I don't believe him. I mean he fucked his favourite slave right in front of you."

I look down. It still hurts. Every time I look at that bed, it takes me back to the horrid memory.

I shake my head.

"He won't kill you." I murmur quietly. "If he does, I won't help him bring his brother back."

"This is so weird though. Why doesn't he just go in without using slaves. Can't he just do a rescue mission?"

I shrug. "I think it's more complex than it actually seems. He's a perfectionist I guess."

"I overheard one of the guards saying that he went to the office yesterday back in London.

"I always wondered how he juggled work and slavery." I frown.

Taylor nods. "He's a real worker ain't he?"

I nod.

"I don't want to talk about him right now." I frown.

"Right. Sorry." Taylor looks down.

"I think there's something there." Taylor says.

I frown. "I said I don't want to talk about him right now."

"Well I do." Taylor moans. "If I wasn't in the room before he left, he looked like he was about to beg in his knees for forgiveness. I don't know."

"Taylor. Please!" I scowl.

"Ugh. He's trying to ignore what he feels for you Alissa!" Taylor says.

I shake my head. "It's whatever anyway. Even if I admit it myself, it's just going to blow up in my face."

Taylor frowns.

"He's a slave owner and I'm a slave."

"You are not a slave!" Taylor scowls.

I swallow and sigh. "He's right though. We would never be together."

"So after one night, it's just all changed for you?" Taylor frowns.

"He fucked another slave right in front of me. Every single time I looked away or made a noise, it cost me a strike!" I explain harshly. "I got belted eighteen times and by the tenth strike, I was done. He had belted that strong girl out of me. I'm done trying to convince him. He wins!" I throw my hands up in annoyance.
