Alex
"Where the hell am I?"
"Quiet! Do you want to die?" The guy from earlier says as I'm pushed through the front door of a huge mansion. He pushes me to the floor and I struggle to get out of the handcuffs that were placed on me in the car ride here.
"You're mine now. You were given to me as payment. You either do as I say or you die. I'll put you to work and if you behave you'll have a good life."
"Why? Why me?" I cried. My words could barely be heard over the sound of my crying.
I was taken from the floor and brought to a small room under the bottom of the huge stair case where I was left alone. The room was quite nice besides its size and it had a decent closet and a small but quaint bathroom. In the corner of the room I noticed a camera slowly moving from left to right.
The Door flew open only to reveal two men.
"I want to properly introduce myself. I am Denver Acropolis. You may call me Sir or Mr. Acropolis."
He pointed to the man beside him This is Pete. Pete is my personal body guard. If you have any questions feel free to ask him and if you're feeling brave feel free to ask me" he grinned.
The two men in front of me were ridiculously attractive, Denver with his jet black hair and piercing blue eyes that reminded me of the ocean and Pete with his shoulder length brown hair pulled back in a ponytail and brown eyes that seem to make you feel at peace looking into them.
"What's your name boy? " Pete asked me he has a look that I couldn't describe on his face. It was almost as if he was sorry for me.
"My name is Alex" I said quietly while holding my head down.
I suddenly felt hands on my face as Denver squeezed my cheeks and forced me to look at him. "Speak up" he growled.
"My name is Alex!" I stated in a louder voice.
"That's more like it. Speak with confidence" he smirked at me. His face is so close. I feel weird looking at him like this. He is absolutely attractive, but what kind of person takes a person as payment. I couldn't help but look at him with disdain.
"What is it?" Denver asked "Don't you like me? Too bad! You can think of me as your savior." he laughed. "I'm way better than those people whoso easily gave you away."
"Savior? Savior?" I shouted "how are you my savior. How are you any better than them? Who accepts a person as payment? Who the hell do you think you are? I will never…." Suddenly I can't speak anymore Denver slaps me in the face and I can't speak anymore"
"Know your place boy" he growled. "Be lucky I took you."
I feel the tears streaming down my face as I stay there stunned on the floor.
"Pick him up Pete! Get him situated and tell him how things work here." Denver gave the order and he was gone just as quickly as he had come.
Pete picked me up off the ground and looked at me as he shook his head. "He's not a bad person. But just don't speak out of turn and get him mad anymore.
I stayed silent too afraid to speak.
"Some clothes are in the closet we had the room setup for you on the way over her. I hope they fit. Get a good night's rest. Tomorrow I'll send someone who works here to assists you with your duties and show you the ropes. Take a bath clean yourself up. You'll most likely be working in the kitchen best to be well rested." He paused. "Are you listening to me?"
I shook my head yes.
"Well if you have any questions tomorrow feel free to ask me. And you can call me Pete no need for the extra formalities with me. By the way! Don't try anything stupid like trying to run away there are guards everywhere and the boss will be watching." He pointed at the camera and with that he was gone.
I was too stunned to move for a bit but eventually I got up and took a shower. With the water beating on my back I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes I couldn't help but cry. After I took my shower I curled up in my new bed and tried to accept the fact that this would be my life. How could my aunt and uncle give me away how could they do this to me? In this moment what I wanted more than anything were my own parents. They had died two years ago in a car accident I can still remember holding my dad's heart in his chest as I tried to stop the bleeding. Shortly after that I was taken in by my aunt and uncle. They treated me well and I wasn't excluded so I can't wrap my head around how they could give me away just to save themselves and their son. I feltlike I wanted to scream as I laid there in the bed. I touched my hands to my chest because I felt that my heart was going to explode. I tried to stay calm and slowed my breathing. Who was this Denver guy any way and why would he take me. I feel so confused and angry. I cried and cried some more. All I've ever done in life is lose everything! When will I gain something? Were my last thoughts as I drifted off to sleep.
