Held Captive [Completed]

13.

Should I be happy I am finally away from my kidnapper, or should I be happy I was sold to someone else? Maybe I am not tortured yet, but still I work as slave which technically I am a slave. I lay down facing the ceiling different thoughts running up and down in my head, I was brought out of my reverie when I heard my name being called. I got up from the bed instantly walking towards the door.

"oh Victoria there you are, what are you doing here all alone"? My new master asked leaning against the wall.

"nothing sir, I was just resting, I am sorry if that offends you I won't ever do it again" I said looking at my feet.

"no, it's fine really I just need you to prepare dinner am having some guests later and don't worry I will assign the other maids to help you"i nod my head while he left. I sigh great now I have to face these people who obviously don't like me, they always believe the master gives me "special attention" I braced myself walking towards the kitchen already they were already there chatting about something once I came in they all kept quiet sending me their glares I gulp, making my way to the kitchen counter to prepare something.

I brought out vegetables, and other things putting it in a bowl to wash. One of them came close to me offering an helping hand. "you should have allow me do it " she took the bowl the bow from with a smile plastered on her pretty face . "don't worry I am nothing like these lousy animals, they are just jealous". I gave her a small smile.

The rest of the cooking were mostly just me and her they helped too but always muttering something between themselves or sending me their glares which she told me to ignore but it wasn't easy ignoring a place where glares are just too much. They make you totally uncomfortable.

Preparing everything just before the arrival of his guests excusing myself heading into the room I was given, I took off my slippers sitting at the edge of the bed, releasing my hair to flow freely down to my shoulders.

"what do you mean you want her back? I paid a lot of money before you released her, I took her when she was bleeding having scars and bruises all over her body she was almost dead now that she's recovering you want to take her back? You must be insane you shouldn't have sold her to me in the first place and she's not going anywhere" he stated firmly, I stood up moving closer to door to hear them clearly.

"now Mr Nicholas I got your money and a little interest on it I just need that bi----i mean lady back, you see her uncle brother cousin kinda wants her back so I guess we don't have any choice than to take her back". Please no, don't fall for it please please please I kept chanting in my head my heart keeps beating so hard to make the issue worst when I didn't hear anything  from my new master I knew he might just might have believed him and he's going to send me back to him again.

"like I said earlier she's not going anywhere and incase you have forgotten she's mine and now I would really appreciate it if you would leave and never return I believe we don't have any more business between us" I let out a breath I don't know I was holding.

"sure Mr Nicholas, but just remember to watch your back you might not know what hits you" he's definitely got something  planned something that screams he will be back to take me again., oh God I don't think I want to ever see him or his master wonder what they are up to again, hearing the door shuts I know he's gone for now. I went over to the bed and sat down trying to race my beating heart which seem quite impossible, hearing the door opening up again isn't helping.

"I am sorry for coming in without knocking are you okay"? He asks concern lacing in his voice.  I nod my head, he came close stopping two feet away from me. "will you be okay here?  Do you need anything"?.

"no,  master am fine and thank you for checking on me" I sounded a little brave not wanting him to know I over heard their conversation. "okay then you stay safe" I watch him make his way of the room. I can never be able to sleep what if he's lurking around waiting for everyone to be asleep before he kidnap me again. Am not taking a chance am keeping my eyes wide open.

________________
Nothing has happened so far I was given strict instructions not to go out, talk to strangers, attend the doors and everything I am going to eat should be prepared by me and I must be there guarding it,  which really with the newest changes got me somehow at ease but am always tense I don't know why but I am always tense. I was in the kitchen preparing lunch when I heard a knock on the door, I ignored it and continue working ,again I heard another knock I stopped what I am doing taking a gentle step out of the kitchen the door came again with full force and a voice "open up the door bitch I know you are in there, oh don't worry your master sold you to me again just like how the first did". I threw my hands on mouth to suppress the screams that were threatening to come out.

I took off my slippers gently making my way to  hide without thinking I went into the room I first saw and hide under the bed. "open up the door bitch don't make me do it, it won't be funny at all "I heard him yell, please don't let him see please God, please I kept chanting, praying. He kept knocking and knocking until the knocking stops, I still hide under the bed, maybe he's inside already just waiting for me to come out before he grabs me. The thought alone got me sweating.

The sound of horn blaring which indicates that the master is back I sigh inwardly.

"Victoria, Victoria, Victoria " he yelled my name. "Victoria where are you"? He yelled again. I came out and replied, "in here sir"i yelled as loud as I can. I heard footsteps running up coming closer to where I am, he opened the door instantly. "Jesus Christ you got me scared what are you doing here? And you left the kitchen..." he trailed off seeing me not responding to what he is saying.

"Victoria ,what's wrong"? His voice was calm. "they s-someone was here kept telling me to open the door, h-he said you sold me, please master tell me it's not true" I fell down on my knees tears wetting my cheeks.

"I-i will be good, I promise I will over work do everything you ask just please don't sell me out to him" I broke down completely.

Oh God my life is literally finished.
