I lazily sat up on the bed tying my hair in a bun. Emily came inside smiling, closing the door behind, she stood in front of me. I turned myself, paying attention to her.

"Madam, Mr. Hernandez has arrived."

My movements halted at the moment. He is here. The man who bought me is here. My body went stiff .

"He will meet you soon. "

She left the room after bowing to me. Cloe jumped in my lap, rubbing her body against mine. I brushed my hand on her head. I shut off the T.V.

Lying down on bed with her. Closing my eyes I tried to sleep. But, I ain't getting sleep now. God knows what will happen after meeting him?

As sleep slowly began to take me, I pressed a soft kiss on her head before drifting off to my dreamland. Thinking about morning.

My eyes flickered opened by the sunlight falling on my face through the window. I sat up rubbing my eyes, taking in the surroundings around me. Cloe purr, snuggling her head on the pillows.

I get down of the bed making me way to the bathroom. Completing my morning routine, I stand under the shower. The cold water pouring down to my body, giving a cooling sensation to my nerves.

Suddenly it strikes me, 'him'. I have to meet him. I walked out of the shower, wrapping myself in a towel, I made my way to the closet.

I go through the dresses, confused at what to wear? Should I dress formal? I mean he bought me so maybe he need me to serve him. Of course! If he didn't want that then why would someone this rich would purchase me? Nothing but a mere girl.!

I looked through hoping to find something formal but not a single one caught my eyes except lavishness. After not finding anything, I tiredly put on a soft pink frock which reaches my knees. I applied a nude lipstick and a little eyeliner, tying my hairs in a pony. I wore scandals before moving downstairs.

I spot Abigail at the kitchen counter, she looks sad. What happen to her?

"Hey abs! "

"Hey... "

"What happened early in the morning..? "

"Nothing. My brothers came back and he ordered me to not go out. "

I stood beside her. My burrows furrowed. She wants to go out.

"And why? "

"He likes to order me around. He feel powerful controlling me. Asshole! "

"Where you are going? "

" 'Were', I was going to meet my only friend, but here he is, commanding. He should have joined military, they need him there. "

She scrunched her nose chewing on her cookies. I sat beside her. Marina bid me morning before going back to prepare my breakfast. Today's menu is cookies and hot chocolate.

"Anyways, how's Cloe? "

"As always, Great. She is sleeping. "

"She is cute. "

I nodded at her. Of course she is.

"I planned to keep her with me... "

"Oh.. how long? "

"Maybe forever. I mean she is too little to be left on her own. "

Abigail agreed with me. Marina served me cookies and chocolate milk, I thanked her before eating. I took a sip from the hot milk.

"It's, amazing. " I exclaimed!

"Marina is a great cook. " Abigail spoke.

"I always like her cooking skills. She reminds me of my mother. "

Her words make me remember my mom. My thoughts drifted back to the reminiscence of my mother, my father, my family. I barely remember them, their face. How they look.

My memories, a mist. I don't even know how they are, how they were after that day. Where they live now? Sometimes, I really want to meet them. Of course, I really do.

Are they still alive? My thoughts broke when Abigail snap her fingers.

"Hey.. you here? "

".. Yeah.. "

"Emily was calling you for 2 minutes. Are you okay? "

"Yes.. Yes Emily. "

"Madam, Mr. Hernandez wishes to see you in his room, please follow me. "

I looked at Abigail before looking back to Emily. Abigail gave me a thumps up. I nod at her before following Emily. She move through staircase. I followed her, my steps silent. My heart beating in my chest frantically.

We reached the second floor, the big door appering in front of us. Emily opened the door and gestured me to go inside. I looked at her, she gave me a little nod, I blinked at the entrance before steping inside.

The corridor felt unfamiliar. I hesitantly take a step feeling anxiety running through my veins. Then another and another.. Everything felt so fake. I am now in someone's possession. I feel like a doll.

I further took a step fear washing over me. A door came in my vision maybe he is there? Inside. I nervously knocked at the door waiting for the response.

But I recieve no response. I nervously tapped my feet on the floor battling inside my mind whether to go in or not? Should I leave? Is he sleeping? Or should I go inside?

After debating for a moment I finally decided to go. I held the door knob ready to turn it. Reluctantly , I turned the knob, entering inside the massive room.

The demeanor of the room is dim and cold stark contrast to the outside world. My eyes wander around the room inspecting every corner of the area. The suit smelled like rose, the room fell silent, terror washing over me yet it felt so awfully comforting.

I walked inside the cabin large windows covered behind navy blue velvet curtains preventing the sunlight to penetrate through it. The whole area just look like a penthouse, different from the mansion.

A king sized bed is placed in the opposite to the window. A couple of bottles of wine placed at the center table which stood little away from bed. Sound of running water reaches me, he is in shower.

Sighing to myself I decided to wait for him to come out. I subconsciously roamed in the room like a lost puppy. All of a sudden my eyes fall on a photo frame placed at the bed table. An old women was smiling, wrinkles at the corner of her eyes. I was about to pick up the frame, before the sound of running water muffled. I quickly step back, distancing myself from bed. The door knob turned, the door opened with a click sound....
