Capítulo 2: Chapter 2 - Don't make a sound
"You're alive!" A feminine voice exclaimed as I moved my arm.
"Mother?" I squinted my burty eyes at the feminine figure seated on my bed. "I had a terrible dream where I was marked by Don Romano Callamore. They used a blade to cut through my skin, just to mark me. It hurts so bad" I winced at the thought of the dream and also at the sharp pain that emanated from the back of my shoulder.
"Jadelyn, I am only here to clean up your wound and give you painkiller" the lady who was now sounding different from my mother said.
"Who are you?" I asked when her face became clear enough for me to identify.
"Maryann. Head of kitchen department. Meanwhile, I saw you in deep pains yesterday when you were brought in. You even refused to eat anything last night" She said, making all the events of yesterday come rushing through my memory lane.
"That wasn't a dream?" I quickly sat up looking around at the new environment.
"Not at all" She shook her head at me, flashing me a sympathetic look. "See, I need to hurry back to work before the Don gets mad"
"And why are you here in the first place" A male voice roared, making Maryann stand up immediately. She looked pale
"Good... Good day Master, I came to dress her injury" Maryann stuttered, bowing her head down as she responded.
"Get out! She can handle her wound herself" He said, moving out of the way for Maryann to pass.
"I want to go home" I said, sitting up properly.
"You seem not to understand your situation, Child" He scoffed.
"Please, I want to go home" I stood up, still avoiding meeting his eyes. They were cold and empty which made them scary.
"You're home. You live here and you don't go out until I say so." He barked out at me, making me flinch. "The earlier you get that, the better for you." He said, walking close to me.
"Don't come close please" I whispered, moving back.
"You don't tell me what to do." He said, raising my chin. "Look at me!"
I slowly opened my closed eyes to meet his eyes. They were different colors. One was black while the other was blue. He also had a scar that ran along his left eyelid where his glassy blue eyes were.
This man was a demi god. He had strong defined jawline and a full pink lips. His nose was also pointed. Everything about him was perfect. The scar had nothing on his beauty. In fact, it added to his handsomeness.
"You've been sold off by your lovely parents. I own you now and you do as I say!" He said lowly but dangerously. "Understood?" He yelled, making me jump.
I nodded but that didn't seem to be okay as he gripped my jaw tightly.
"Words!"
"Yes, Sir" I said, holding back the tears that were building up.
"Now, dress up and begin your duty. Maryann will tell you what to do and you better not make mistakes or else I'll punish you" He said, letting go of my jawline nonchalantly.
He stood there staring at me.
"Sorry?" I asked, confused at why he was still standing there when he asked me to dress up.
"Dress up." He nodded, telling me to go ahead.
He has got to be kidding me.
"Excuse you?" I asked, quite agitated.
"I don't like to repeat myself. You should really ask around about me, newbie" He glared daggers at me
"But I .... It's immoral" I stuttered. "I've never undressed in front of a man before in my life"
"Oh, she's a virgin" He laughed darkly. "Which makes it more interesting"
"I am not a virgin" I stated.
"Make it make sense please" He groaned. "Change into something quickly!"
"Okay" I answered defeatedly, walking into the toilet to freshen up at least.
"You have 10 minutes to be done with dressing" He yelled.
"Don't you have better things to do with your life?" I groaned to myself.
"Did you say something?" He said, holding the toilet door open. Thank God I haven't stripped off my clothes.
"Not at all" I shook my head immediately.
"Are you lying to me?" He glared at me.
"I... I .."
"9 minutes." He said, cutting me off. "I don't care if you're dressed or not but once your time is up, I'll send guards to drag you out" He said, shutting the door.
Some privacy.

"From today henceforth, she's my personal maid and you'll teach her everything I like" Romano said to Maryann.
"Yes, Master" She bowed
"Now, I hate lazy and lousy people. I will punish you whenever you do something wrong. I hate lies and lastly, I do not like to repeat myself." He said to me. "On no account should I see you slacking off or else I'll pieces your body parts and sell them off to recover my money"
"Understood, Master" I said, bowing down too.
"I'll be waiting for my coffee in my office. You better get it right. 10 minutes! That's all I give you" He warned, striding up the stairs.
"10 minutes is 10 minutes." Maryann said, pulling me to the kitchen. "There's no coffee maker in here so we boil water and mix it for him"
"Will the boiling of water not take 9 minutes" I groaned, already getting frustrated with this new nightmare that's slowly becoming my life.
"This one is faster. Watch how it's done" Maryann said, showing me detailed process of making the coffee. "Now, hurry up!"
I took it from her, walking gently as I made my way up the stairs. Oh my goodness! This house is big.
"Excuse me? Where do I find the Masters office?" I asked the guard I met at the hallway.
"Why?"
"Please I'm being timed and I don't want to get on his bad side" I groaned
"That way!" He pointed at another passage
Fuck this house.
"Thanks" I muttered, trying to fasten my pace without spilling the coffee. I knocked once and opened the door.
"You're late!" He said, not sparing me a glance.
"I'm sorry" I said.
"What did I tell you about defaulting?"
"I'll be punished, Master" I said calmly
"Good girl. Come here now!" He stared at me darkly, eyeing me up and down as I reluctantly walked to where he was.
The way he looked at me made my insides burn. He looked at me like I was his prey.
"You'll not make a sound, understood?" He commanded
