Bound and Broken: Maya's Story

Chapter Forty

Kayla's POV:

Two days have passed. Today's the day. Tonight's my death.

Shadow had stopped coming around. Not that I noticed. I was starting to get really sick from not eating. Not that it mattered. Irene couldn't give me anything so close to my death date I learned. And I was happy about it. When she came at me with plans for a feeding tube the guards turned her down and insisted I couldn't be forced either. So I just laid in my bed, waiting to be taken away.

Flashback

"Kayla! Where are you going?" Mom asked frantically as I took every article of clothing I could find and began throwing it into a suitcase. I couldn't believe it. She wanted to marry that piece of shit.

"Away from here! You wanna marry that disgrace of a man then so be it! Just don't expect me around. Replace me with his evil spawn" I snarled. Finally packed I zipped up my suitcase and slung my backpack around my shoulders. She begged me to stay, to think on the bright side but I refused. I got downstairs and threw open the door, storming out down the stairs to the driveway where my car was parked. I put my suitcase in the backseat and jumped into the front, starting the engine.

"Kayla!" I heard Mom yell. It didn't sound like her though. I felt something shaking me.

"Kayla!"

I sat up, gasping. Irene was standing over me, pressing a hand to my forehead. I shoved her off and shimmied backwards. She sighed.

"Kayla uh. You have a couple hours left. The people will be here to take you to the retirement center" She said. I gave her a dismissive nod. She opened her mouth to say something to me, but thought better of it and closed it. She left and I went back to passively lying on my back.

I wonder what Maya is doing now. Do they tell her about my death date?

(Time Skip)
Maya's POV:

I've been here three days and I already hate it.

Mara's inspection thing was done and I gave her the formal invitation to the island the day after she punished Tiana. She left that day, not after letting her male pet Tyler say goodbye to Summer. The two seemed to like each other.

"Summer" I called. She immediately stopped eating and got up, coming over to the bed where I was working. I had ended up giving her my breakfast, barely eating dinner last night. I was starving but work was demanding.

"Yes Mistress?" She asked softly, with her eyes looking everywhere but me as usual. I chuckled and put my laptop to the side, beckoning her to climb up.

"I've got a full day before I have to see my next client. What should we do today?" I asked. She looked surprised. I was hoping she'd break out of her shell. Eventually.

"Uh. Whatever Mistress wants..Mistress.." She stumbled over her words. I sighed in defeat and stood up, walking over to my closet.

"Fine. Let's go swimming today then. Go get two bathing suits." I ordered. She seemed to fall back into her comfort zone right then and there and raced off to do as I said. I bundled all the papers up into a neat pile and put them into their respective folders, then placed it onto the laptop. I moved everything over to the table beside the hotel bed and stood up, just in time for Summer to return holding two of the bathing suits I packed. One was all purple and the other was just black. She instantly handed me both, not seeming to catch on that she was coming with me.

"You're coming with me. Get changed and wear my flip flops" I said. She brightened at that and grabbed the bathing suit, quickly changing. She didn't seem to mind the large windows or that I was standing there. Already a step up from the whore.
