Bab 23: Freedom
Erika p.o.v
"Are you lost, baby girl?" a deep and raspy male voice asked me from behind, and I felt my soul leave my body in an instant.
I turned around to see only darkness. He took a step forward from a dark corner and came to a halt beneath a lamp hanging on the wall. He wore a maroon-colored red satin robe. He leaned over the wall casually, folding his arms. He smiled warmly, and his eyes were kind.
I knew him; he was Ry's crush. Nonetheless, my mind went blank for a moment. I could not figure out his name. Because I only see him once during the broadcast on LED in the dining area.
"No, I am just finding my way out," I said calmly, trying hard not to show my nervousness.
"Out of my suite, huh? Interesting. Anyway, my name is Alexis, Ms Carter. "I believe it is an attempt at escape," he said, offering his hand. I was glued to the spot, stunned that he knew me.
However, I accepted his hand, greeted him, and smiled sheepishly while clutching my bag's strap for dear life.
Is he going to kill me?
The thought alone made me break out in a cold sweat.
"Does Master let you leave the training centre?" He inquired further, and his expression twisted with confusion. This man knew everything about me. My feet felt as heavy as rocks, and I was dying inside from fear. My stomach churned with worry.
"Let me ask him," he said, pulling out a phone from his robe's pocket. He dialed a number and waited for the other party to answer the phone. Meanwhile, I was sweating and fidgeting with the hem of my dress.
"Yes, Alexis," the line connected and a heavy voice could be heard on the other end. My fear was at its peak at the moment. I knelt on the ground and rubbed my hand in a begging posture. I gestured for him not to tell Mr King anything.
He gave me a hollow smile before stepping outside to the balcony side. When he opened the balcony door, all I heard was the sound of waves. He motioned for me to stand up and sat on a nearby couch through the glass door.
I did as he suggested, but my heart was still racing with nervousness. I struggled to control my trembling legs as I buried my head in them. A few seconds later, he returned to my side.
"Hahaha, you look cute like this," I lifted my head as I heard him chuckle, and my cheeks heated up at his compliment. He seemed cheerful and playful, but I was perplexed.
"Congratulations! "Ms. Carter, Master grant your freedom," he continued, and I could not believe what I was hearing. I narrowed my eyes and stared at him suspiciously.
"H-how is that possible?" I stammered in shock, but I could not bring myself to believe him. His statement made no sense to me. How could Mr. King let me go like this? I was speechless.
"Believe it, Ms. Carter. The cruise will arrive at the nearest port after two days, which is a large city. Master, instruct me to leave you on the coast. Ah! "You are lucky," he said calmly, taking a seat beside me on the couch.
We sat there without saying anything, and he kept a decent distance between us. The awkward silence around us was broken by the vibration of his phone. He left his seat to take the call, and he was once again standing on the balcony.
This time, I could not hear anything and only saw his lips moving and a tense expression on his face. He waved at me with a smile through the glass door, and I felt ashamed for staring at him for so long. He eventually returned.
"Did he change his mind?" Anxiety drove me to ask him in an instant. He stood in front of me and shook his head helplessly.
"No, why are you thinking like that? The Master has just told me to take care of you for two days. "Until you are on this cruise, you are free to explore it or enjoy its luxury," he replied sternly, and I darted at him as if he were telling a fantastic joke.
"And you can use this suite as your own. You can use the bedroom and order anything you want to eat or drink," he said as he handed me a menu before walking to a room and disappearing behind its door.
I received the menu and started reading. It appeared to be very expensive. It had a leather cover and the paper looked glossy and fine, with the names of the dishes written in Italic font alongside pictures. It featured a 'K' with a crown logo, which could be found on all of Mr. King's properties.
"I have a meeting to attend, Ms. Carter. Please make yourself at ease," I lifted my gaze from the menu to find a fully dressed Alexis standing at the door.
"You can use the first bedroom; do not worry, it was untouched," he announced before inserting a black card key and exiting the suite. I still did not believe him, so I followed him and discovered he had left the key there. He did not imprison me like Daniel.
Mr king set me free hurry! Now I can find my way back, but first I need to eat something to regain energy.
With one final thought, I picked up the intercom and placed my order. I ordered whatever I wanted from the menu. If Mr. King is being so generous, I will take full advantage of it.
I wiggled my brows, and an evil smile crept up on my lips.
I was relieved and took my time looking around before my food arrived. The suite was as luxurious as I expected. The full glass window attached to the ceiling, the comfortable white leather couches, and the wooden floor all contributed to its fashionable appearance.
I was curious about the room where I would spend the next two days. As a result, I hurriedly strolled toward the first bedroom.
As soon as I stepped inside, I was struck by its beauty. A queen-sized bed with clean white and black bedsheets and a quilt set was extremely inviting. The cosy white carpet floor and grey curtain, combined with the white one, gave the room a welcoming atmosphere. The view of the ocean from the bed, through the large glass windows, made me giddy.
Soon, the bell rang, signalling that the food had arrived. I snapped out of my daydream and hurriedly opened the door. Two maids entered with the food trolley and placed the dishes neatly on the dining table. They wish me to enjoy the food before leaving the suite.
I quickly took a seat at the dining table and began devouring food. I did not eat much at dinner, and food was never enough for me. So I am going to enjoy every bite as much as possible.
I scanned the dishes and saw everything I wanted to eat: lime prawns, fish rice, spicy crabs, and lobster. I ate my food to the fullest, and it was delicious as hell.
When I returned to my room, I took a shower before settling into my comfortable bed. However, after a few minutes of twisting and turning, it is difficult to fall asleep. I finally got out of bed, tired, and walked toward the window. I opened the curtain to see the stunning view of the night.
The sky was full of stars, which shone like precious diamonds. The moonlight over the horizon created a lovely scene. It was so calm and fascinating that I could not stop staring at it.
Then a wave of sadness struck my heart. I really missed Allen and Dylan. I wished they were present with me at the moment. I missed my home and the life I had before all of this chaos. I am definitely going to make those bastereds pay for their sins.
I leaned against the wall next to the window, staring blankly into the endless sky. I could not wait to go back to my hometown and exact my Revenge.
