Mi Princesa | Valeria Garza Fic|

Chapter 8: Learning

I look Valeria dead in the eyes and lift the apple for her to see. Not going to front here I'm still a little mift about how last night went. I consented to it and all, but I had wished I had more control especially with the whole cuddling thing after.

"Hmm, that's not much of a breakfast now is it cariño? Lets get you something more filling hm?" she says.

"I don't need anything else." I say and I'm not lying. I've been trained practically since birth to survive on very little sustenance, but Valeria can't know that.

"It wasn't a request cariño." she says staring me straight in the eyes almost as if she could see right through me.

Was this a test again? Her throwing around her power over me for all her staff to see. I should just agree and shut up and eat, but something in me just can't seem to bow down completely to this woman despite knowing the control she has over me at this point.

"I wasn't asking." I say and simply walk away and sit on one of the couches in the room.

I expected her to get pissed, but what I didn't expect was for her to pull a knife out and hold it at my throat. I immediately stiffen fully prepared to engage in combat if I needed to as she speaks.

"Hmm, Mi Princesa seems to have a habit of forgetting her place around me. I guess you'll need some more training. No matter, I enjoy the challenge." Valeria murmurs into my ear lips so close that I instantly get flashbacks to last night. 

She taps the knife against my chin as she says,

"Sit at the table and eat. I won't repeat myself again."

This time I simply wait until she removes the knife and then I get up and sit and the table. I look at a pastry and grab it and start to eat while Valeria smirks in satisfaction as she takes a seat across the table from me.

"Good girl." she says. I almost chuck the pastry at her face.

I only have 1 more day to get the information from Valeria so I really need to start kissing ass I muse to myself. I have to do it carefully because Valeria isn't an idiot. If i start asking questions and being all nice all of a sudden she'll suspect something. Start with something simple to see where we stand with her.

"Can I leave?" I ask. If I'm able to leave then I can go and do more eavesdropping and sneaking around especially since I know where she lives now and where my target might be tomorrow evening.

"No. You seem to have a penchant of not listening to me and getting into trouble. I want you where I can see you." she says while also taking some bites from a pastry left on the counter.

Well shit, there's that. It'll be easier to get information if she wants me in her sight, but harder to explore the area if she expects me never to leave it. I can't just let that slide or she'll get suspicious.

"Why the fuck not. You can't just keep me here." I protest.

"Oh I can do whatever I want and what I want is for you to stay in my sight. If you'd like to keep protesting then I can surely arrange for a repeat from last night." she says not paying me any mind.

Her poking fun at what happend pisses me off. Have I forgot to mention I have quite the temper that is usually satiated by doing whatever the hell I want and killing my targets, but I can't do that here. Of course I've been trained to control it, but something about Valeria and her damn sinful self makes me lose it.

"Oh fuck off." I say before immediately regretting it seeing the way Valerias body suddenly tenses and the way she looks at me.

"What was that? Speak up cariño, I couldn't hear you." she presses.

I should've just said nothing, but dammit I hate being played with.

"I said, Fuck. Off." I say while glaring straight into her eyes.

The tension in the room is so thick you could cut it with a knife. All the guards are tense at seeing her being spoken to that way and the chef swiftly makes his way out of the room to avoid getting in the crossfire.

For a second it looks like she wants to kill me and then... she laughs? She just starts chuckling like a mad woman leaving me completely confused.

"Ah cariño, you really are something. No one has talked to me like that in years, its refreshing." she says.

I just stare in confusion. She stands and comes over to my side of the table.

"Come. I have meetings to attend and I'm not letting you out of my sight." she says.

Still a bit confused I stand and follow her, but right before we get through the door I'm grabbed and pinned against the wall roughly.

"Oh... and next time you challenge me like that it'll end with a blistered ass for you. So keep trying me Princesa." she whispers into my ear before giving me a kiss on my cheek and grabbing my wrist dragging me through the door and down the numerous halls.

I suppose I should be happy to avoid that, but it just leaves me more pissy that she thinks she can control me using that stupid method. Still, something's not right. I directly challenged her infront of her people and she laughs it off? Yea no. There's something going on here and I'm not in the know about it.

We enter a room with a long table in it for multiple people to sit at and Valeria takes a seat right at the head. There's no extra chair, does she expect me to stand the whole time? No matter, I've been trained to do worse then stand as a punishment I think to myself. Then another person enters with a pillow in their hand and they set it down right next to where I'm standing and then leave the room. The pillow is placed right beside Valerias' feet and she turns to look at me with a smug smirk on her face.

"Sentarse.(sit)" she says.

She wants me to sit at her feet like a damn dog in front of all her men and informants. She grins as  she sees the realization on my face and that's how I learn that challenging Valeria always has a negative consequence.

"Or you can sit on my lap if you'd prefer cariño." she says with a sinister grin.

I glare and imagine all the things I could do to her, but I sit reagrdless on the damn pillow. I tell myself this is only temporary. I'll get her back for this, for sure.
