chapter 10

"Don't be scared, my dear, won't hurt you." Laura still had her guards up, she doesn't trust anyone. She looked at the woman wearily. "I am Shelly, Alex's nanny, I am like a mother to him, I watched him grow up into who he is today. I know what you are thinking, but I did advise him, but he is just too hard to talk with." Laura just stared at Shelly while she talked."You should go and take a bath while I set the table for you to eat." Laura thought of something and decided to act on it."Ma'am, please help me get out of here, I will forever be indebted to you." she held her hands together and knelt on the bed.Shelly felt pity for her but there is nothing she can do about it, she might not have been given a chance to carry a child in her womb but she has raised one, so seeing Laura in this state of hers and how she looks tired, it breaks her heart but she can't help her."I am sorry my dear but I can't help you, Alex is not that bad, do what he asks of you, and he won't hurt you. I know what I am saying won't help you get out but it will help you live here peacefully." the little hope she had gone down the drain."Thank you, I am not hungry." she lay back down, backing Shelly. "I am sorry but you have to, strict orders from Alex " Laura had had enough of that name, Alex this, Alex that, why don't they care about her feelings?"I said I am not hungry, please ma'am leave me alone, I want to be alone." her tears came rushing out of her eyes as she screamed at the top of her voice.A sad sigh left Shelly's lips, she left the tray of food and went back downstairs looking at the door behind her.Laura took a bath, it wasn't easy for her to walk because of her sore sex, after taking a warm bath, she felt a little better. She had nothing to wear so she wrapped herself up with the duvet and went back to bed.Meanwhile, someone was fuming in rage. She pushed the door of the house with so much force it almost left its hinge."What got you all mad? are you okay Sandra?" Pauline inquired standing up from her posh couch. They moved out of the old house after Pauline won millions in the casino.They now own a big business that is doing well, and Pauline has become a regular customer in the casino."Last night at the club, I heard one of my friends saying the brothel where you sold that tramp had an auction sale, guess who bought her." Pauline looked uninterested in whatever she was saying."Alexander Quinn, mother Alexander Quinn bought Laura. How did she do it? how did she entice him?" Pauline rolled her eyes, she still can't understand why Sandra is angry."Sandra, why are you angry? I don't get it. "She took a seat, and Sandra did same."Don't you get it, mother? she is with a wealthy man, that slut got a wealthy man. "Pauline chuckled"Well, my dear isn't it a good thing? she is with a drug lord, someone who is powerful and no one messes with him. Think about it, she must be miserable, living her life in tears and as a slave for a mafia." she laughed hysterically.Sandra thought about it and that's when she calmed down. "You are right mother, she must be miserable, begging for death to come." They laughed like witches who have seen their annual sacrifice...She wanted to go out but she couldn't since she wasn't wearing any piece of clothing, she had no idea that the door has been locked from the inside.She lay down on the bed for hours feeling lifeless, she does not know how long she had been laying on the bed and staring at the ceiling. The door was pushed up, an angry Alex walked in, he looked like someone who had been bewitched."How dare you defy my orders?" He roared, he took dangerous steps to where she was and held her by her neck."Master please, can't.. breathe" his hold on her neck tightened. Laura's head felt light, her eyes dizzy, it was like she was going to pass out any moment from now."I told Shelly to give you food and you rejected, you defied my orders. Do you want a death wish young lady? Next time you defy me, I won't think twice about blowing your brains out" let go of her rough making her stumble and fall on the bed.She gasp for air, and her eyes rolled from front to back then front again. She coughed so hard, that her head turned red.Alex through shopping begs her "I am going in to take a bath, you should be fully dressed before I come back." He entered the bathroom and shut the door with a loud bang startling the already scared girl.The dress was nothing fancy, just shorts and a crop top. There was nothing like underwear, she wore the dress with shaky hands, and her legs quivered.A few minutes later, Alex entered the room with nothing but a towel on his waist, his hair stuck on his face. Laura turned around not wanting to look at him, this made Alex smirk. He dressed up, dry his hair, and dumped the towel on the floor."Let's go" They went to the dining room, the house was grand. Laura kept looking around the big living room, a plasma TV hung on the wall, a silver chandelier on the ceiling, and black sofas which looked soft and comfortable to sit on."Shelly" he called with a loud voice, his anger has not simar down. The elderly woman came slightly rushing with maids behind carrying trays of food.She set the table and was about to serve them when Alex raised his hand and asked her to leave "your work for today is done, you may now go back to your quarters, pass the information to the other. Don't leave your rooms until I tell you too. Now scram" they rushed out of the room, Shelly shook her head but didn't say anything."Service me" he commanded, Laura is used to being ordered around so this didn't come as a surprise to her. She woke up from her seat and went to his side, pick up his plate, and served him what was on the table.
