"Jesus, you scared me" She exclaimed, almost as if she was scolding him.
"What are you doing here?" she demanded, her tone firm. Axel was confused, It was the same girl who was crying and vulnerable yesterday, now she talks like she owned the place. Interesting, she's feistier than I thought, she would make a fine mafia boss lady, Axel thought as his smirk grew wider.
"Do I need your permission to be in my own room?" Axel asked, his low, husky voice firm but controlled, his eyes fixed intently on hers.
"O-oh". Her gaze faltered, her eyes darting around the room as she remembered when he drag her upstairs to his room. He never gave her, her own room.
"W-why are you here?" She stuttered with outmost curiosity "A-are you going to have sex with me again?". She asked, her voice trembling as she gaze downwards, avoiding his lustful gaze.
"Hmmm. That's indeed a great idea. Do you want me to?" He asked his tone laced with sarcasm.
"No…please don't, it was so painful. I don't want to go through that again". She said, her voice trembling with her eyes brimming with tears. Axel expression darkened, his eyes narrowed as he drew closer to her, dragging her chin up, his grip firm but controlled as his eyes bore into her like a hawk seizing its prey.
"You seem to have the wrong idea here Sophia. I don't care if you're in pain or if it hurts you. I do what pleases me anytime and anywhere. The sooner you understand that the better for you". He said as he gently pushed her chin away.
"But not now. Come downstairs and have breakfast with me". He said as he started leaving the room.
"Am not hungry". She said, but her growling stomach betrayed her lie. She was starving.
"Your stomach tell a different tail. And I wasn't exactly asking for your opinion. It was an order". He said, his voice in a commanding tone as he stood there, awaiting her response
"Y-yes master". she responded,
"Good". He said as he left the room.
After some few minutes, Sophia came downstairs. Her eyes fell on Axel who was at a dining table filled with different delicacies, food that looked yummy and rich, that she has never tasted before.
"Sit, and eat. They're all yours". Axel said, his voice low and velvety. The aroma of exotic cuisine wafted up, enticing her to indulge.
"A-all this food, for me?"she asked, her eyes scanning the feast.
"But I can't finish it." She protested, taking a seat.
"Eat till you knock yourself out. You're way too skinny". He said as he started eating. She too started digging in.
"After eating you can go shopping and buy some new clothes". Axel said, gesturing to his servant to pour the wine. Sophia's eyes widened in surprise.
"Wait, I'm allowed to leave?" she asked, her voice laced with disbelief. Axel's expression turned serious.
"Of course you can. I brought you here as my pet not a fucking prisoner. But I promise that I'll keep you safe and which I will even if it cost me my life, so wherever you wanna go, please do inform me. And don't make it too hard for me". He sipped his wine, his eyes never leaving hers. Sophia smiled with extreme happiness after hearing him say that he will protect her.
"O-okay" she stuttered, her cheeks flushing a deep crimson. Axel's gaze never wavered.
"Feel free to take any of my car that suits your taste when you leave. And I'll assign a guard for your protection." He dabbed his mouth with a towel, his eyes still fixed on hers.
"Okay". Sophia replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "Oh, c-can I also get a phone?' she asked, her eyes sparkling with hope. Axel's expression turned thoughtful.
"Hmm... I'll get you one." He said. Sophia's face lit up with gratitude.
"R-really.. I mean, thank you master" she said trying to contain her excitement. Axel's gaze intensified.
"I prefer to see your gratitude in actions, not words.". He said, his eyes gleaming with a hint of mischief.
"H-how". She said, her voice trembling, as Axel smirked devilishly.
