Chapter 10

“Pleasure me, and I will help you.” Alexa’s mouth was agape as she tried to understand what Ethan said. ‘What does he mean… Pleasure him? How will I do that? Will I be his servant? I guess that’s okay?!?’ Her innocent mind deduced she would be part of the household staff.

“Follow me!” Ethan said a little too abruptly as he walked to the villa. There was a sense of urgency in his pace, and Alexa had to scramble to keep up due to his long strides.

“Sit!” He commanded as they entered his office, then handed her the folder containing Max’s information. Alexa frowned.

“What is this?”

“See for yourself.” Alexa opened the folder, and it contained all of Max’s information. From his legal businesses down to his illegal doings: drug deals, human trafficking, and illegal firearm sales. Ethan had everything listed, and she was surprised… suddenly, Alexa felt threatened. ‘How does he know all these details?’ She wondered. Now, she was more scared that the Ethan she thinks she knows is not who he really is.

“Now, tell me, what do you want me to do with Max Willies?” He asked calmly. His face remained stoic.

“I can teach him a lesson. Destroy his business, sabotage his illegal transactions, abduct him and punish him until death, or just kill him… Name it.” Alexa was dumbfounded. ‘Why does he care what I want?’

“Who are you?” Alexa asked. His mode of questioning confirmed that the guy sitting in front of her might be as dangerous as her father and Max.

Ethan smirked. “You don’t need to know who I am… Now tell me, what punishment do you want for Max? After he tried to rape you, one of those things would be appropriate, right?”

“Max Willies is a dangerous man. You don’t want to mess with him.” Alexa reminded him.

“I know. That is why I am asking for something in return, a payment. I rarely accept a task without a price.” Alexa frowned.

“But I don’t have money…”

“I am not asking you to pay me with money.” Ethan leaned on the table. His face was only inches away from Alexa. “You can pay me with other things aside from money.” Her eyes followed as he looked down at her body. “Be my possession… My sex slave.”

Alexa gasped and her eyes widened, taken aback by his words. ‘Is he crazy? Possession? Sex slave again? What did I do in my previous life to meet these crazy men??' She was going nuts that her head started aching.

“I need your answer right away, or else I will cast you out of my villa. Let you roam the streets alone until Max or your father finds you. I’m not helping you once you’re out my door.” Ethan’s threat gave her shivers down her spine.

‘Would I rather be Ethan’s or that old hog’s slave? If Dad finds me, he will definitely either kill me or send me back to Max,’ she thought.

“Can you give me time to think? This is not easy for me.” She replied honestly.

“I will give you an hour to think. Stay here.” Ethan left Alexa dumbfounded.

‘What will I do? Should I accept his offer?’ She wondered. “If I don’t accept his offer, Dad and Max might catch me and lock me up again, or worst… they will end my life… And I don’t want that to happen. But if I stay here, I will pay him using my body… as his sex slave… Is this the value of my life? Is this all I’m good for? What should I do?” All of her hopes crumble. Maybe she was just unlucky in this lifetime. “Arghh!!!” Alexa pulls her hair out in frustration and yells like a crazy woman inside Ethan’s office. She felt frustrated as hell and didn’t know what to do.

IN HIS BEDROOM

Ethan silently watched Alexa straight from the CCTV installed in his office.

‘You think you can escape from me, Alexa? Hell no. You have no choice but to be my slave. I will never let you and your father escape my wrath.’ He clenched his fists in rage.

“We both know you don’t want to go back to your father unless you get information from me… I’m not stupid. This will never happen.”

After an hour, he returned to his office, where Alexa was still waiting.

“What have you decided?” He asked as soon as he entered the door.

Alexa jumped off from her seat. She got too occupied with talking to herself and weighing the consequences. She did not notice Ethan’s presence.

“Uhmm… What if I choose to let Max go? Can I just stay here… Would it be possible?”

“I can be one of your servants.” She added.

‘Just as I thought. She will not choose to take revenge on Max because they are allies… I knew it!’ A smirk escaped from his lips.

“If you don’t get revenge… and you stay… You will stay as my sex slave.” Alexa blinked profusely. Not believing what she was hearing.

‘I don’t want to be his or anybody else’s slave, but I don’t have a choice. He’s dead serious about his offer, but I hope he will not be that hard on me. He is still my savior. The only one who can help me. And if he wants my body as payment… Even if I don’t want to… I am willing to pay him more than my life. Ethan will help get rid of Max forever.’ With her head bowed down she said, “Alright. I’m willing to be your slave-”

“Sex slave,” Ethan corrected.

“Alright, I’m willing to be your sex slave to help me get my revenge.” Alexa’s eyes got blurry as tears started falling from her eyes. She cried silently. ‘I can’t believe this is my fate.’

A grin plastered on Ethan’s face while Alexa mourned for her freedom.

“You should get back to your room and prepare your things. You’ll be staying in my room from now on.” She raised her head and looked at Ethan in surprise. She didn’t bother wiping her face off all the tears she’d shed. Ethan stared at her, stunned at her reaction, but pretended to remain unaffected.

“What?”

“Didn’t you hear me? I said, transfer your things to my room. You’re staying with me.”

“Oh, and starting today… Maxime and Ina will no longer be your maids. You will serve my needs, my food, and to service my cravings.”

“Don’t think you are special because you are staying in my room. You are now one of the servants. You just have a different purpose… fulfill my needs… as my sex slave.”

‘Sex slave… Sex slave… Why does he keep on repeating it over and over again?’ She thought.

“I will discuss the rules later. Now go. Clean yourself up. I’ll need you tonight.” He said seductively, which gave shivers down to her spine.
