Rang of the clock

Sinister

"Ha.."

I tried catching my breathe after a force wrap around my throat. I gasp for air but it still not helping. Cold sweats began to fill every pore of my forehead. I tried everything i can just to remove his grip and before I could faint he abruptly detach his hands on my neck.

I fell on the floor, panting.

and that's explains my situation right now.

I cough and cough. I can still feel the force on my throat.

"A noble lady from a defeated country is now a slave." said the man who just choked me earlier. I lifted my head as I saw the corner of his lips rose up.

This psycho.

I swear to god. I'll kill you! You dirtbag!

"I'm your owner now, bow down"

The smirk is still there and it's getting on my nerves! I don't want to follow his orders but even if I refuse, I have this choker on me as a curse. Because of this choker, I will obey all of his orders even I like it or not.

"M-Master" I bowed down.

Yes! Rejoice now scumbag!

"Raise"

and I lifted my head.

and there, I saw his face.

Oh? what a beautiful face you have there. He's like my knight in shining armor. An angle from heaven that been sent to the earth in order to save me which is totally opposite.

His skin is pale and smooth. Silver hair that gives light to our dark surroundings. Because of his hair sweep down in front I can barely see his eyes completely but I can say it was as beautiful as sapphire.

What a waste.

Bad thing, his personality doesn't suit his appearance.

"I spend 100 million gold coins for you. Show me that it's worth the spend"

it's not my fault for pete's sake!

"Yes, Master"

He won the auction and he got me and that's it.

"First, you're so dirty." He said with a disgusted look and began to cover his nose with his hand "And you smell filthy" and he fuckin' added.

i know right?!

"We will be going somewhere. They will be dressing you up with a decent clothes. and we will also buying clothes for you"

oh he also has this nice side on him?

"Because I can't accept any person that's working on me with any filthy or dirty- No, more than that"

I bring back what I said.

He turn his back at me and said
"You can walk, right?"

I just nodded.

My thoughts may be that exaggerated but I always shows my expression nowhere.

I have eyes that shows no interest. It was because I was trained at my previous country.

I'm behind him, following every step that he takes.

now, where are we going?

I have no idea, all I know is that we are walking in the dark alley in the middle of the night. I have no intention to ask by the reason that I will know it later plus hearing his voice makes me wanna smack him because of its tone.

Well he psycho. What should I expect?

"Get in" He said as we stopped in a very lavish carriage.

I hesitated but In the end I got in.

He also follows.

Such an awkward atmosphere while we are in the midle of the ride but I ignore it when I felt a familiar feeling.

Nostalgia.

who would have thought, the empire's most honorable and respected girl is now a slave in another country.

While reminiscing, I got disturbed by the clicking of his tongue, he did it more than twice making me annoyed.

can't you please be quiet?!

He saw me staring at him with no expression and that's when he stop clicking his tongue. He must've read my mind.

"What's your rank before" He suddenly asked.

"My foster father is a marquess and I'm his illegitimate daughter, Master."

"...."

It became silence. Looks like he don't know what to respond.

"To be frank, you're not a noble in blood" Well he don't need to say the 'to be Frank' because I'm completely aware of it.

"Yes, Master. But the whole people on our empire are not aware of it"

He nodded after hearing my statement.

"...."

"Name" I said out of the blue.

"What about it?" I saw his forehead wrinkled.

"You have to give me a name, Master"

phew, I almost forgot the 'Master'

"You can use your name before--"

Means he don't want to be bothered just by giving me a mere name.

"I can't, Master." I cut him off but in a nonchalant way as possible because, again, he's a psychopath. He can hurt me anytime even without a reason.

"Why?"

"My past is nothing to do with me anymore" I said with no emotions.
His eyebrows furrowed more.

"Because I'm now yours. My whole life is now yours" I added making him to remove the his furrowed eyebrows.

His eyes began to wide as he registered those words I've said.

He was flustered by the bewilderment, I guess?

"You're right" He blinked twice as he registered what I have just said.

"You're mine." with his voice close to a hoarse that's barely audible.

I saw him forming a maniacal smirk. He looks more crazier than before.

Why do I feel like it sounds wrong?

Damn that husky voice. it's not sexy. really. it's like being close to a creep!

I'm flustered but I didn't show it. I just blinked twice like what he did lately.

And then I make an awkward smile. and trying to avoid making eye contact.

There is something sinister when he smirk or even talk.

"Only mine"

this psychopath-

AND HE ADDED. IT'S CREEPING ME OUT. HELP.
