Twelve: I'm her master, she's my slave

Twelve:I'm her master, she's my slave

It was a bright new morning. The rays seeped into the room casting a faint glow on the face of the maiden that lay on the bed. She felt her whole body ache. This made her groan and grimace at the same time. She knew that she had to prepare for the day's work. She didn't want any trouble. That lecher was already out of her sight so, she was ok for the time being. She walked into her bathroom and did her morning rituals. All thanks to the devil, there was a hot water tap. She decided to soak herself in hot water so that the pains could ease up a little. She didn't want to appear weak. She soaked for about fifteen minutes before she bathed. When she was finally done, she came out of the bathroom. There weren't any lotion or oil available but there was a balm and body cream with hair oil that was on her table.

A knock came on her door. She walked to the door and opened it. It was the doe-eyed girl from yesterday. Monalissa arched a brow.

"Can I come in?"

Monalissa made way and she came in.

The girl looked around and saw the items on the table.

"I brought them for you. I thought you might need it, so..."

" What's your deal? Why are you acting nice? "

That was actually a harsh way to say it but, who was she? She was Walker, an infamous assassin that looked at no one. She was a ruthless being on her own part.

The doe-eyed girl looked away in grief. "Please, don't get upset. I'm not acting nice, I'm being nice to you".

" You were the one who kept those? "

" Yes. I didn't expect that you would come back. You know, whoever commits a crime at the factory is already a dead person the moment they leave this place ".

" So, what made you think I would be back alive?"

" I don't know. I was hoping that you would come back ".

Monalissa looked at her for a long time. She went to the small dressing table that was in the room and sat down. She picked up the lotion and sniffed it. Then the oil and then the balm. They were all okay. She turned to the girl.

"What's your name?"

"Hanabi. Hanabi Parker".

" I'm Monalissa Walls".

The girl nodded. She was a girl that usually said few words.

"I don't consider you a friend at all. We can just be hi and hello friends, that's all".

Hanabi smiled. " Okay. That's alright. Anything you say".

" Are you done dressing?"

" Yes".

" Alright. I will be done soon. You don't have to wait on me "

" Yes. I will see you when you come out then".

Monalissa turned and looked at the items that laid on the table. They looked quite simple but she appreciated them. At least, she could massage herself with the balm and feel better.

Ezekiel was a bit exhausted after the session he had the previous night with Kayla. He didn't know what came over him but he wasn't himself last night. He took her over and over and over till she passed out. She came many times but he still didn't let her go.

At the thought of that, he sighed and stood from the bed. He went into the bathroom to soak himself in the hot water that was already prepared. A call came in. It was Kim.

"Boss, we found something".

"What's it?"

" Someone has been looking into our division. It wasn't just recently. It's been a year "

" What are they looking for? "

" I'm not so sure, but, my source has it that it's Miss Walls ".

" Kim, it seems that I have been a little lenient on you, right?", Ezekiel reprimanded his voice deadly cold.

Kim trembled at the other end of the line. "I wasn't careful Boss, please punish me".

Ezekiel arched a brow." Of course I would. Find out the person who's behind this. And, keep an eye on Walker".

" Yes boss".

The line went dead. Ezekiel smirked. 'Is she conniving with someone? Is this her way of planning her escape? Well, she she can only try. No one is going to take her away till I say so. I'm her master and she is my slave'.

The factory was lively with activity as the workers moved to and fro. It was a very busy routine. However, the air seemed a bit tensed. No one wanted to get closer to Monalissa after the previous day's incident. They were pretty scared. No one dared to provoke her. This suited Monalissa the best. She liked it. She wasn't one to be messed with.

Just then, Sarah came to her. She was frowning really hard.

"Sl*t! How dare you!"

Everyone turned.

Monalissa sighed. Just when she thought it was all over. "Stop disrupting activity".

Sarah scoffed. "You still dare to care about that?!"

"What else should I care about?"

"You sure are something. The manager is in critical stage. He might not make it out alive. This is all your fault ".

" Ahh, is that so? You really do care about him a lot? "

Sarah clenched her fists." Monalissa! "

"Go on. What are you trying to pull? He wanted to molest me and what do you expect me to do?"

She walked forward to Sarah, each step was a dread for Sarah who stepped back subconsciously. Monalissa held her right shoulder and pressed it down bringing her to her knees.

"You're not worried about him. You're just worried that your backer might be gone".

Sarah flushed with anger when Monalissa exposed her." You...!"

"Is that a lie? Oh no, then I must have guessed it wrong".

Everyone began murmuring. They looked at Sarah with unfathomable gazes.

"Tell me Sarah, don't you know about him coming into my turf last night?"

Sarah froze. Did she find out? How come?

She had actually complained to Mr Kaiser the previous day. Mr Kaiser promised to make her pay. When he told her how he planned on getting revenge for her, she hurriedly agreed. Though Mr Kaiser was her backer, that didn't mean that he slept with her. In fact, he had never slept with her at all. She always had her way around it.

Everyone was shocked at the sudden revelation. Monalissa gave Hanabi a thumbs up in her heart. Hanabi had told her what she found out the previous day. She didn't expect that the girl would go that far. She was really grateful to her. At that time, Hanabi asked her if she was going to report to the management but, Monalissa declined. This was something she could handle. She didn't want to rely on anyone especially, him.
