She had finally got freshen up, though her midsection ache and her whole body was in pain. She had found a few hickeys on her breast and she wore the dress that was provided to her. She really has to go. She couldn't find her things and this is not the place where she was last night. She must've fallen into a deep sleep because of the drink that he gave to her.

The power emanating from the man was so powerful that she had to lower her head and stand in front of him. He's holding an iPad and like he's reading something while drinking coffee.

"G-Good morning." She greets. He looked up at her and studied her for a moment.

"H-how's your sleep?" Shouldn't this how someone that sold her for a night treat her?

"Good. Uhm, I will go now." She stands there waiting for his response. He put down his tablet, took a sip on his coffee and rang the maids.

"You aren't going anywhere." Her brows creased. "I bought you, remember?"

"You bought me for a night."

He shook his head.

"I bought you, in a big amount of money, means you are mine. No one can have you."

She was suddenly dizzy, sinking it on her head. She almost fell down on what he said. She just really wished that this was a joke that she's dreaming and that she's just carried away.

"Sit." She didn't and just stood there.

"I wanted to go home."

"Your home? Your apartment has been sold to someone else, and your mother needs a heart transplant ASAP." How did he know all about these? Of course, he's powerful and dug on his information. "I had arranged it all. In exchange for that, you'll be my woman." She bit her lower lip. He's heartless.

"I am grateful for what you did but the payment is enough to save my mother. And as for your woman, it only happened for a night." He didn't say a thing.

She's starting to think that he's a psychopath. He stood, walked around her and expected him to hurt her or something. But he didn't. He scooped her chin and kissed it.

"It only happened for a night. But I pay double to buy you, not for a night but until it fulfills me. Remember that you sign a contract with me?"

"W-why would you bother to buy me if you could have anyone you wanted?" Her head was a little foggy but she indeed remembered signing a few papers.

"I can have anyone I want and I choose you. Do you know how it bores me to death dealing with those women who have the same goal?" He snaked his arms around her waist that tightens a little bit, her body so close to him and she can feel the warm of his breathing. Smell like brewed coffee and his scent was so good but she shouldn't be attracted or something. "You will stay here, do whatever stuff you want but you will be monitored 24-7. Do you understand me? That means you can't go out without my consent." He didn't smile. He was dangerously serious on his every word.

"I want to go home." She said softly, sounding more like she's pleading as she shuddered.

"What home?" He sneered and stuck a few strands at the back of her ear.

She doesn't have a home and she sold off a few of their things in their apartment. She was staying at the hospital and few of her personal belongings are at her friend's house. She bit her lower lip and wanted to cry. If she can't leave, then she won't be able to see her mother and… her work.

"You don't have a home at that place anymore. This is your home from now on." She kept her chin up. She doesn't want to look pitiful in front of this man. She can't fight him.
