chapter 31

Kitty stepped inside the pristine dimly lit bed chamber. Her body shuddered at the sight of Mori as he flipped the pages and he held a guide book about intimate position.

The book made her neither embarrassed nor excited.

She was blank and stood there straight in surprise.

"From kidnapped to a lewd book?," she commented, "Quite a transition."

Mori kept the book on his lap and looked straight at her, he adjusted his reading glasses keeping them aside on a sidetable.

Mori gave a chilling smile to Kitty as he broke the awkward silence of the room.

The room looked red - red with twilight touch which added to its eerily aura.

"Suprised?," he asked, "That I am quite early today?"

"Yes. You usually come at late night."

Mori looked at his watch and thought, "5:00 p.m."

Mori stood up from the chair and approached closer to her. He placed his hands on his chin and analyzed her.

"Who gave you those marks?," Mori asked, "Necklace? Again?"

"You gave them.," she said, her tone almost defending, "Remember?"

"Yes.," Mori's eyes fixated at her bruised lips. He touched them with his thumb, "I don't remember bruising your lips. I am quite a gentle person."

Kitty squinted her eyebrows, he looked down and pursed her lips. She looked up at Mori again and observed his cold smile that had another eerily effect at the red glow of the twilight.

An expression of nervousness hinted on her face. Her mix of emotions was scattered all over her face. She was in a breaking point.

At one point, she thought of what he'd do if Mori found about the most recent incident.

At the other point, she had a key in her baggage to the cage Mori especially built for her. That would guarantee her freedom.

Black Oracle.

With all the courage she mustered, she snaked her arms around him and spat with the voice of the sweetest poison, "I bit them while biting cookies accidentally."

Mori was angered and not even one percent convinced by her statement, he fixated his gaze down - cold and calculated.

"Ah I see.," Mori said, flatly.

Mori took out a strip pack of pill from his coat's pocket. Kitty's eyes widened in surprise. In a haunting tone, he replied, "Explain this."

Kitty swallowed a lump of saliva stuck on her throat. Her heart palpitated out from her chest.

In a dry voice, she replied, "This is."

"WHAT?," Mori threw the substance on her face.

Birth control pills.

"It's for irregular periods.," Kitty replied, a flicker of fearfulness in her broken tone.

Mori grabbed her hair, almost tearing it. A stream of tear fell from her pink eyes.

"Where's my ring?," he asked.

"It's on my bag.," she replied.

"On your bag?," he asked, "It was supposed to be in your hand at all times."

"I am sorry.," Kitty replied as he pulled her hair down, asserting dominance and his total control. Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"You show me enery penny you have collected... I know what you are upto.. you are running away from me."

Kitty collected all her courage and shoved his hands away in complete rebellion, "Take it easy, Mister. You pervert."

"Show me.," he commanded.

"Show you what?"

"You know what I am talking about.," he said, "Your secret funds."

"I EARN THAT MONEY.," she shouted.

A tight slap generated on her cheeks as she fell on the ground.

Kitty stood up and screamed, " Go ahead Murder me. Like you murdered every person... MURDER ME. I said go ahead murder me."

"I... ah.. am sorry.," he replied, mumbling under his breath, "I am sorry."

"I SAID MURDER ME."
