章節 15: Opportunity

Erika p.o.v

They dragged me out of the banquet hall. But what surprised me they didn't cover my eyes with blindfolds. They stuffed me inside a private elevator and yanked me out of it when we arrived at the destination.

This floor seemed to be something mysterious, I never came across to something like this ever before. The man opened the door with his golden card and his men shoved me into the most luxurious suite I have ever been to.

Everything appeared here otherworldly, the chandelier in the middle of the suite and the interior scream money. It felt like I take a direct entry into a fairytale but I am familiar with the reality and it's a nightmare for me.

" Take her inside"

He dictated to his men and they carried me to another door. He opened the room door with his thumbprint and his men left me there afterward they take their leave when their master gave them a sign.

I studied my surrounding and discovered, this room is much more spacious than any other room in this club. The whole floor is covered with a white fluffy carpet along with a luxurious white couch near a majestic fireplace.

A table filled with all kinds of delicious delicacies is available there and it made my mouth water. I wished to eat everything placed on it but now is not the time to think about food. However, I noticed a fruit knife in the basket which is positioned in the middle of the table.

I shifted my sight from the food and discovered the man is already present in the room. He is analyzing me with his intense gaze and I'm equivalently scrutinizing his every move.

Now once again I'm alone with an unfamiliar man, who is ready to devour me like a meal. He began to remove his coat, his action provoked me as I plunged into the direction of the basket and yanked the knife from it. I pointed it toward the man in my defense.

But he is unbothered by my movements and this infuriated me more. I screamed at him and let out everything buried inside me from the day I'm caged in that hellhole. I'm burning with rage and let out my rant without caring that the man in front of me is enough capable of making my life a living hell.

But to my surprise, he is not mad instead he offered me an opportunity to prove myself and I'm not going to blow away any chance to get freedom.

" H...How...how can I?"

The words desperately fell out of my mouth and I observed a smirk climb up on his face. His eyes lit up as he get a new plaything to play with.

" Follow my instruction and let me see if you can be an asset or not?"

He articulated to me in his icy tone and I gaped at him with confusion. What kind of instructions, he is going to deliver to me? He passed by me and plop on the couch near the fireplace whilst crossing his legs.

" Open that window and climb up on the railing."

He dictated to me while opening a box placed on the table. He grabbed a cigar from it and lit it up with the fire from the fireplace while he scanned my every move.

With some slow steps, I ambled towards the window and opened the lock with trembling hands. I strolled to the railing and break into a cold sweat by looking down.

The suite is on the sixty-sixth floor and l nearly touched the clouds. People and cars seemed ants moving back and forth. The view of the whole city is magnificent as well as terrifying too.

But I mustered all my courage and hike up on the handrail. I hardly balanced myself on the railing as my legs are trembling with fear and the wind is strong. I feared I'm going to blow away by the wind.

The cold breeze kissing my skin made me shiver with cold. I subcautionly rubbed my shoulder to get some warmth. The white shirt, I'm wearing is fluttering because of the wind and I'm sure the man behind me must be pleasing himself with the view of my undies.

" JUMP!!!!!!!!"

A strong command came from behind and I can feel my soul break off from my body in an instant. My face got pale and my eyes widened at the idea of jumping out of the railing. My mouth is left open and I peeked at the man unbelievably.

He is not joking around, he is dead serious about it. I thought for some time then leaped inside the railing and landed on the balcony.

" You never acknowledge me ...inside or outside Sir..."

I explained my action right after my foot touched the ground. I'm worried about, the man going to be outraged by my struggle. But you gonna say I'm lying, I swear, I noticed amusement in his cold eyes and a ghost of a smile on his stoic face.

Without uttering a single word to me, he raised from the couch and took long strides in the direction of a walk-in closet. A few moments he came back with a white men's shirt in his hand.

" Go and wash....you make the whole place stinks like hell and don't touch anything in the master bathroom....there is a small shower in that direction use it."

He enunciated to me in his heavy voice but his tone is still icy whilst he pointed his index finger in the direction of a small door. He tossed the shirt in his hand and it directly crashed on my face.

I'm confused by his words...why he wanted me to wash up? Nonetheless, he is right I'm smelling too high heaven. Thus I shrugged off the feeling and ambled toward the small door.

It's just a small shower with some toiletries in the corner of a tremendous bathroom. I did as I'm instructed and came out with wet hair and wearing a shirt that bearly covers my a$$. I'm feeling uncomfortable but that's the only thing I have for now.

Well, something is better than nothing. I'm lost in my thoughts when suddenly I found a presence in front of me. He is standing extremely close to me and invaded my personal space.

I'm startled by his action and took a few steps back until my back hit the wall. He followed my lead and stepped forward. He put his hands on the wall on both sides of my face. He trapped me between the wall and his body.

" Is your maidenhead still attached?"

He questioned me firmly, his voice dangerously low while he is looking seriously into my eyes. His breath fanning over my face and I can feel the heat rushing in my body from his query. My whole face and ear burned up with the warmth.

" No!!!!"

I responded to him meekly but with determination. I didn't find any reason to lie to him. So I let him know what he wished while staring back into his blue orbs.

" Then remember that little missy..you are mine and I own you"

He pinched my cheeks and made a fish pout while pouring his cold threat into my ears. I'm stupefied and didn't know what to do when his face is extraordinarily close to me.

In an instant, he licked my bottom lip with the tip of his tongue and let me go in an instant while drawing behind. I balanced myself but I'm still taken aback by his action. He winked at me and strolled toward his king-size bed.

" E..Eh....excuse me Sir...can.I e...eat them?."

I finally found my voice five minutes later as I requested him from behind and point towards the food. He halted his steps and turned to face me. Hardness is prominent on his face.

" Of course.....you earned it, Woman"

He responded to me in a bored manner and disappeared behind the door of the bedroom. And the click sound gave me the assurance it is locked.

I started stuffing myself with food. There are various kinds of fruits and dishes placed on the table. I ate them until my heart and stomach felt full.

Then I tried to find someplace to sleep, I lay down on the fluffy carpet near the fireplace. Eventually, the warmth of the fire helped me to drift into slumber.
