Slave rules

*...…*

Another man moved forward to whisper something to the 'Boss'

"What is your name girl!!"

'Elise' I answered robotically. [awkward silence] I looked at him dead in the eye, void of emotions. He motioned one his men who caught my face roughly ... his face inches apart from mine and saliva spitting from his mouth when he spoke. Urgh!!!

'show some respect' :he said.

"Listen carefully girl…. when I ask for names you give me all of them …I don't care how many. When I talk to you look at me, when answering you bow. I won't repeat myself.": Boss.' [thick Spanish accent]

I tried to shake my head but it was of no use with it restrained.

From today you call me boss. Count yourself lucky you are not dead.

"San Diego… [pointing at his men as he continued] ...all these men you see here are your authorities. They have authority over you so whatever they do to you its on them I don't care. I've been forced to spare your life …. don't expect me to baby sit you." ..." Prove yourself worthy"

[sarcastic laughs] 'yeah baby you heard that ... your ours'...'hahaha'

I suddenly felt exposed. powerless. Disgusted when I saw them licking their lips while looking at me. Is this how pathetic powerlessness feels like. I'm everyone's cake now?.... 'You're not my fucking boss. You'll never be …. but I have to play along the rules for now. I swear to god, I'll rise up the ranks and I'll come for payback. Like Ren said I have to have brains.' I internally said.

I stared at him…correction gave him a death stare. I don't care about respect or boss shit... I fucking bow to no one. After about two minutes of eye contact he gave in I'm sure he noticed the slight smirk on my face which vanished like it was never there.

"Take her to Manuel he'll use her for now." He said his thick Spanish accent.

'Move' one of his men ordered me. Instead of moving I turned to glare at him. Chino. From a glance I could tell he was one of the leaders here. Maybe his deputy.

"don't touch me!" I threatened "[scoffs]…. I'll fuck that attitude out of you San Diego! …. move!! "

Is someone pulling strings from behind to help me? because what the fuck did 'Boss' mean when he said that he's been forced to spare my life and I clearly remember Kai ordering for my death? Either way its not making my life any simpler.
