Love and Hate, Freedom and Slavery

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Daniel POV :

There he is, the man I once thought could change but I now realise he is never breaking out of his mould. Our eyes were fixated on each other, not a blink from either of us. This time it was not a romantic gaze but rather a gaze of war. To nobody's surprise Karl paced over to our table with a look of determination.

"I thought I'd find you, snobs, here" He chuckled

"What do you want?" Amber hissed

"To be honest missy, I want your boyfriend but unfortunately it seems someone's been keeping him hostage" He smirked

"Karl, just leave!" I asserted

"Welledy welledy well, it seems Mr.Slave just grew some balls, pity you're still licking her arse" He laughed

"Don't call him a slave, we're equal!" Amber seethed

"Cut the bullshit sergeant slut, we both know you control him, I'm speaking the truth but no one listens because it interferes with your nice little fantasy world, the truth is Daniel's not free and only I can free him" He assured

"Yeah nice try, even if was with you he'd still be a slave" She claimed

"Oh what's that, he'd still be a slave, still, so you admit he's a slave with you" He chuckled

"What no I uh-" She stuttered

She admits it, maybe Karl was right all along. When Karl told me I was a slave, I was sceptical but hearing Amber say it herself has really rattled my world. He's right, I do live in a nice little fantasy world, a world ruled by Amber. My whole life, turned upside down because of something she accidentally admitted, things will never be the same because now I know for sure, I really am a slave, ever seen I met Amber, I haven't been free, she's taken over so much of my life that I only realised my slavery when Amber admitted it. I am fucking stupid, 3 years in chains without even knowing.

"I need to go" I announced

"No Daniel don't" She pleaded

I didn't justify her with a response, instead, I kept walking, like the free man I finally am.

"Hey wait, does this mean you want me?" Karl pondered

"Maybe, maybe not, I don't fucking know anymore" I answered honestly

I don't want to be alone, I want a relationship but when you find out something like that, it really makes you lose trust in well... everybody, especially Amber, the one person I thought I could trust. Life is better shared with someone else, I will not die alone but the question I cannot answer is, who do I want to die beside. Sweet but controlling Amber? I thought we'd be together forever, now I think otherwise. Free but hateful and kind of evil Karl? Maybe he is the best choice. I know I hate him sometimes but compared to Amber he's actually a pretty good guy, you know I never actually went on a proper date with him. Should I give him another chance?

Yes

Yes I should

Sorry for another short chapter, purposely made it short so that a lot can happen next chapter.
