CHAPTER NINE

He held my arm and helped me up.

" Stop your crying. It's so annoying." His cold voice scolded.

" I'll let you go for today but if you ever try to run again..." He threatened me and I got a bit scared. He held my arm and dragged me out of the place. He sent me back to the room I was previously in . I sat on the bed and tried to lay down but my body won't stop trembling.

" Now, you are my property. So don't do anything that will make me mad.... cause if you do I can do anything to you."

" What ....do you..... want from... me." I asked in a trembling.

" What I want to do with you is my business."

" Pl....Pl.... Please..... let me go..... I promise not to tell anyone."

He sat by me on the bed and looked at me with his cold gaze. He grabbed my hair and brought his face closer towards mine. This got me trembling more.

" The moment I bought you... was when you lost your freedom. Now you work for me and I can do whatever I want with you." He said and smirked

I couldn't find my voice anymore due to the fear ignited inside my body. This man gave me the chills . The moment I met him at the hallway he had some kind of aura that made me scared whenever I see him.How I wish I was brave enough to stand up for myself but I'm too scared to even move. One mistake and I'm dead.

" A..Ar....." I don't know what happened but all of a sudden I began to choke . He held my neck as if it would help stop the choke but I was wrong

" Hey. What's wrong with you?" He asked still grabbing my hair.

" Breathe....Breathe.... slowly, slowly." he realized my hair and instructed me as I followed his command. I breathe to breathe slowly and finally I retained my normal breathing pace.

" Just get some rest and we'll talk later." He said and helped me on the bed after which he covered me with a duvet.

He placed his hand over my forehead which made me flinch.

" Get some rest. I'll get someone to check on you later."

He finally left the room which eased the tension I was feeling. The room was also warm totally different from when he was with me. I felt relaxed yet I couldn't sleep and my body won't stop trembling.

A minute later, I heard a knock on the door and a head popped in.

" Sorry for intruding, but Mr. Grey sent me in to check on you." A lady a year older than walked in with a black bag. She walked towards me and sat on the bed.

" Mind if I examine you." She asked but I only stared at her .

" I'll take that as a yes." She said and began to examine me

" Hmm.... everything is fine." She said after examining me

" Do you have any diagnosis." She asked but I shook my head.

" I heard you were kept in an abandoned house before coming here. Is that true." She asked me and I nodded slightly.

" Were you also sent to the Cube." She continued and I nodded slightly again

" Hmmm... I now understand. You're scared of the dark. Is that so?" She asked again and again I nodded.

She took out an injection and injected something into me.

" This is a sedative. It will help you sleep since I can see you're finding it difficult to do so."

" Pl... please help me."

" I wish I could but I can't. Actually it's not bad being here. We are all treated like a family."

" But I have to save my brother." I said feeling drowsy. My eyes became so heavy it began to close on it own but I could hear her voice faintly

" I'm sorry but I can't help you." She apologized.

" A word of advice,if you want to live peacefully just do what Mr. Grey tells you and don't make him mad."

" What... is.. he going... to do.. to me ." I faintly said.

" I really don't know but don't worry he's not going to hurt you." She said and left the room .
