The Royal Wrath

Ch. 5 - 'Nathaniel's decision'

CHAPTER 5 ~

''Get up! Mr. Nathaniel has reached a decision.''

I immediately got up and stood near my cell door when one of the  officers have said that.

I've spent the night thinking about Nathaniel's offer again and again that I did not slept a wink.

My body for my freedom.

Thinking about it, he has already my life in his hands... What's a little flesh to be a payment for my life back?

I think I am able to live with it, swallow my pride... Can I really? Well, I'll just cross the bridge when I get there. For now, the present issue is getting out of here.

I hurriedly get up and speak with the officer, because overnight I have also made a decision.

''Officer ... Can I speak with Mr. Nathaniel Grimaldi?'' – I asked

''Mr. Nathaniel has already cut you off, You are a property of AlBerque now and he also wishes that you will not be able to contact him again.''

''What? Then what's happening next? – I asked suddenly scared.

The officer looked at me coldly and opened the cell door.

''You are going to be sold here at AlBerque.''

''Sold? What do you mean? You are selling me? That's human trafficking! How about my rights? I yelled, and took a step back. I felt more safe inside my cell door, and don't even want to step out.

''You are now a property of AlBerque and according to this state, as Mr. Grimaldi has already cut his connection with you, you are bound to be sold off to a bidder and will work as a laborer of this country or depending on what your keeper will require you too. – Officer

The officer has been careful of his words like a professional he is. But I truly understood what he meant.

''Like a slave'' I muttered.

The officer kept quiet, and thinking that I am right brought chills on my body.

He grabs my arm and forcibly dragged me out the cell. He is way bigger and more powerful that I had no choice but to be carried away.

''Please! Let me just speak with Mr. Nathaniel Grimaldi again! – I begged and trying to free myself.

''Do you not understand? Mr. Grimaldi has got nothing to do with you!'' – Officer

''Then what about my parents? Or Mr. Kadiel?'' – I asked hopefully.

''Mr. Nathaniel requested that you cannot contact anyone of the Grimaldi's, and as for your personal matters, It would be settled after you've been acquired by a keeper later.'' – officer

I opened my mouth to say something but close it when a wave of realization hit me.

Nathaniel Grimaldi is by far  the cruellest man she ever had the misfortune to know.. 

How can he do this?

Is there a thing called conscience living inside him?

How can he sleep at night knowing that he just ruined a life?

I am even willing to come in his term, that I know will take all of me... and in the end this is what's going to happen.

I would say that trading my body to him is a much better option than being sold as a slave whose future is unknown. I could be a sex slave as well by an unknown person, who knows?
