After being told by Mike to iron his suit which was somewhere in his wardrobe, Angela left for the bedroom.
She walked into the bedroom and the first thing she noticed was a person seated in the corner crying and silently hugging her legs.
Badumb
Her heart immediately changed its rhythm as she recognized the person and with great speed, she ran and hugged the person.
*****************
Elizabeth opened her eyes when she felt someone hug her.
The feeling and the scent of the person were familiar to her. She then looked at the person and her eyes opened wide when she saw who it was.
"Angela" She spoke with a surprised tone.
Angela continued to hug Elizabeth with tears running down her eyes. She knew why Elizabeth was crying.
She had also experienced it firsthand.
She continued hugging her friend for more than 15 minutes before separating herself and looked at Elizabeth's face which was a mess. Her purple hair was all over her face, but, she could still see some fresh tear paths and dried ones meaning that she had cried for a long time.
"Angela, is it really you? " Elizabeth spoke looking at Angela. The last time she had seen her was at the restaurant with little Maya when she told her about how she had sold her life for the sake of her family to some man.
That time, she was really frustrated as she could not risk offending the rich man and implicating her family, however, she refused to give up on her friend and decided to do it incognito.
But, to do that, she needed to find the person first and start spreading rumors, but to her dismay, she never found any leads for some days but, she still refused to give up.
She was then kidnapped last night by Mike, the person whose close friend she helped in killing, and was violated in every hole on her body.
She could not handle the pain, so, she begged him for mercy, however, only later did she realize that the more she begged him to stop, the more he became rougher. He enjoyed seeing her pitiful state and forced her to do all kinds of lewd poses as he banged her out.
She then fainted when the pain was too much for her to handle and woke up the next morning which is today and saw him still sleeping. She wanted to hit his neck with her fist and kill him, however, something within her told her that any attempt of doing that, she would pay dearly.
It was almost like an inner voice that spoke and when she heard it, her entire body shivered and fear enveloped her entire being.
Despite seeing her enemy in a defenseless position, she still could not kill him.
She then got off the bed and went into a corner to cry her pain out when she heard him speak.
That time, she ignored him and it was only after a few minutes did he leave the room. Shafter he left, she continued crying, her pain was almost endless.
After a long time, she felt someone hugging her out of nowhere and was surprised to see her best friend she had been trying to find a way to help.
She was really in disbelief as she saw her best friend Angela. She wanted to hug her, but, she could not as she had no energy. Most of it had been depleted yesterday night when Mike was doing his thing to her and, she hadn't eaten anything since morning.
"Yes, it's me" Angela answered her earlier question trying to hold back her tears.
Elizabeth was happy to see her friend and all, but, a revelation suddenly popped into her mind.
"Is Mike the person who you sold yourself to?"She asked looking at Angela with squinted eyes. If Angela was here and this place was Mike's home, wasn't that enough information for one to conclude that Mike was the person she was looking for all along?
Angela looked at her best friend who had an expression that seemed to say 'I can see through all your lies
She and Elizabeth had been friends from childhood and she knew that when Elizabeth made that kind of face, she would be in a stubborn mode and won't stop nagging until she gets what she want.
So, left without a choice, she opened her mouth and spoke"Yes, he is"
Elizabeth's body trembled a little as she tried to imagine how her friend had suffered in the hands of such a cruel man. Even she could not endure a few minutes yet her friend had been working there for a long.
Just how is she still alive?
Angela saw the look on Elizabeth's face and sighed. She had promised Mike to always be there for him even if he plans to destroy the world, however, only now, she realized that there were some important factors she didn't consider.
What if he does something terrible to her family?
What about her friends?
Right now, her best friend was in his grasp and had been violated painfully.
'What should I do?' She asked herself in her head. Mike was a cruel person who would do anything to get what he wants even if it means hurting others. But despite all his flaws, she had made him a promise to always be there for him and guide him like a mother, however, the appearance of her friend made things harder for her.
She had to choose
Elizabeth was a friend she had grown up with and have helped each other in needing situations while, Mike was her master, the one who bought her for a billion+ dollars she used to pay the hospital for her Family's surgeries. He abused her and used her body like a toy with no emotions.
The answer was quite obvious, she wanted to choose her friend, however, the was something that spoke in her head as if worried about her. It was a feminine voice warning her that if she betrays Mike, she would surely regret it
The feeling was familiar as she had felt the same feeling when she tried to peak after Mike told her to leave the room yesterday. She did not know what that feeling was but, today, she was not going to listen to it.
She wanted to escape with her best friend.
She could endure it but, she could not stand seeing her best friend in pain. Since Angela was older than Elizabeth, she always felt that it was her responsibility to make sure that she was happy like a big sister, though they were friends.
"Dress u....." She was about to tell Elizabeth to fix her clothes so that they could leave however, she heard the voice In her head speaking again as if frightened:
"P-Please d-don't do it"
She was perplexed as to why there was a voice in her head but, she quickly brushed it off thinking that it was just side effects of stress. People always get a little crazy when they are under stress.
"Let's leave....." She spoke helping Elizabeth off the ground however, a voice spoke in her head, but, it was not the same voice that spoke before.
The voice this time was emotionless and red words floated before her eyes:
[Slave Angela Yeats, your act of disobedience has angered the master. Your attempt of escaping has been deemed to be a betrayal by the master and you shall therefore receive punishment in 10 seconds]
And just like that, she saw a timer counting down from 10.
"What's happening?"
