CHAPTER TEN

It's been three days since I was locked up in the room. I haven't eaten for two to three days now, not because I wasn't given but because I refused to eat. After being locked for days I lost my appetite for food. All that I could think about was finding ways and means to escape.

As I sat on the bed with my back against the head board, a maid walked in.

" Sir, you can't continue to starve yourself. You need to retain your energy."

" Please just leave me alone.

" If you don't eat, I'll tell the boss. " She threatened with a concerned look

" I don't care."

" Please Eren. It really hurts me to see you like this."

" How can I eat while my brother is unsafe where he is." I said with teary eyes

" If you don't eat, how are you going to get enough strength to protect your brother.

"If you really care about your brother, then don't harm yourself."

" I'll leave the food here." She said and placed it on the table in front of the bed.

I got off the bed and walked towards the door to check if it was locked. Just as I was about to turn the knob I heard footsteps approaching, I quickly run back to sit on the bed. The door opened and Mr. Greyson entered the room. I flinched upon his entrance

" I heard you don't eat your food." His cold voice asked but I ignored him and looked away.

He approached me and grabbed my jaw.

" When I speak, look at me." He said turning my face towards his direction.

" When I asked a question, you have to answer." He said staring into my soul which sent chills down my spine.

I made up my mind not to be scared of him anymore, so I'm going to stand up to him.

" I'm not hungry." I replied looking into his eyes and trying as much as possible not to flinch.

" Hmmm.... Turning brave, I see." He sneered

" What exactly do you want from me."

" Incase you don't know you're just a toy boy and my property at that. ....So.....if you want to live, I suggest you do whatever I say."

" What if I don't want to."

" I don't want to force myself on you but you are making me lose the little patience I have in me."

" But I just want to go home. Why can't you understand."

" You're staying here and that's final."

" Now eat your food before I force you."

" I said I'm not hungry." I yelled at him

Mr. Greyson clenched his fist looking at me as if he was going to punch me. My heart skipped a beat at that moment . I could be my heart beat and I felt my body temperature was rising. What if he hits me. I closed my eyes ready to receive a punch when suddenly I heard him walking away.

" Finish your food!." He commanded and left the room . I let out a sign of relief.

" Huh.... No matter what happens I'll get out of this place."
