Alina did not touch the food at all. After Uncle Bill came out of his room, Alina decided to stay back on the porch and enjoy the night sky, which was now decorated with scattered stars.
Alina soon enjoyed the beauty of the night sky; again, she was surprised by the sound of her room door opening, and her eyes rounded; then immediately stood up and lowered her face when David was the one she saw.
David looked at her with a piercing gaze, and her cold face frightened Alina. Then David looked at Alina's food on the table, completely untouched.
"You chose to be my pet's dinner meal instead of eating your dinner?" exclaimed David with the circus.
"Eat or I will drag you forcefully towards the cage behind this place!"David's threats, which, of course, were successful, made Alina tremble with fear.
"I-I'll eat, Sir," Alina softly curtailed, then walked over to her meal and began eating it slowly, tears starting to pool in her eyes.
I'm sure David knew Alina didn't touch her food from Bill's report because Bill did have to give him the details of Alina's report.
David then sat not far from Alina and continued to observe Alina's every move with his sharp gaze, as if Alina was a mouse that would become the prey of the Eagle.
The food seemed very unpleasant, and so hard it passed through her esophagus, even about to come back out, but Alina tried with difficulty to swallow it. Until all the dinner had been prepared for him ran out without leftovers.
"Good!! I used to feed my pets with meat, not just bones!"David exclaimed as he walked away from Alina as she finished her dinner.
Alina's heart beat quickly at David's words, but she could not do anything, even stare at David.
As soon as David closed the door to Alina's room, Alina's tears instantly flowed down her cheeks, accompanied by her restrained sobs. His body slumped on the sofa on which he had been sitting. Alina covered her mouth with her hand so her moans were not loud and could be heard outside her room.
"So I was told to eat just to be his pet food?"Alina softly wiped her tears with her palm.
"It's the same with cows that are fed a lot before they are slaughtered," Alina said softly.
Now Alina decided to lay her body on the bed. She felt too full until she began to sleep after overeating. She knew that it was not good if, after eating, he immediately laid down his body. But in this place, there is nothing he can do.
It has been almost three weeks since the incident, and now Alina looks healthier. Even the wounds on his skin were beginning to disappear. And her weight began to rise again; of course, Alina always finished her food directly because she didn't want to eat under David's bullying gaze anymore.
Several times during those three weeks, doctors came to check on Alina's condition. Alina calmed down a little because David did not visit her at that time. Threaten or intimidate him. At least he could breathe a sigh of relief. Not only that, Alina has mingled with people in the mansion; she even has a friend named Grace.
Alina didn't want to think about David. He was just confused and kept thinking, How can he escape from David without ever being caught again? He had to rack his brains. After three weeks of living here, he knew that the security and surveillance in this place were very tight.
Not only that, Uncle Bill had already told Alina all the rules and duties here.

Because of Grandma's request, David was forced to come to Lucia's mansion, which is his grandmother this afternoon after returning from work.
"David, my dear, you have finally arrived," said Lucia, welcoming her beloved grandson's arrival.
When he was about to reply to his grandmother's words, suddenly, in the corner of his eye, he caught two female figures who entered this family room, making David squint his eyes and immediately put on his cold and flat face, full of hostility.
"Why did the trash come here ?!"David asked flatly, his voice full of anger and dislike addressed to the two women, especially to one person he knew, while looking at Grandma with a look of disapproval.
"David, your aunt just wants to talk to you!" Lucia explained. However, Lucia knew what David was thinking and feeling at this time; even though it had been a long time, the pain in David's heart left an imprint.
David just looked at him intently. "Give Aunt just a minute, no more than 5 minutes!" said Natasha, who was her aunt's pitiful.
David was about to reject her, but Lucia gently touched David's arm as if asking David to give her time.
"Nothing more!" said David flatly. It was useless for her to refuse because her aunt would continue to force her, especially now that her grandmother seemed to ask her to give Natasha a chance, and she just wanted to know what her aunt would talk about. Because this time, his aunt was with an unknown woman.
A smile was drawn on her aunt's lips. David was just sick of seeing such falsehoods. Before this, his aunt tried to meet him in the office several times or come to his mansion but always failed because David asked his men to expel Natasha directly.
David knew his aunt intended to see him. What else if not for money? She hasn't changed a bit since then. And because of this woman, she must have a dark past.
"Let's sit down and talk!" exclaimed her aunt, still with a smile. He felt that David was beginning to sympathize with him.
"No!! Talk now or never!!"David exclaimed coldly.
"Well, if that's Your Will, David," aunt Natasha relented, then she couldn't talk to her nephew.
"So what do you want to say?!"David asked coldly and flatly.
"Relax, David, here I want to introduce you to a girl," Natasha said with a big, affectionate, authoritative smile. But it wasn't enjoyable for David. He knew exactly who the woman in front of him was.
David still didn't care what his aunt said; he still had a cold and flat look.
"Are you sure she's still a girl ?!"A cold smile was drawn on David's face, making him look terrible. "At any rate, I know she's not a girl anymore," he continued sarcastically, David staring intently at the woman standing next to his aunt.
The beautiful woman with her sexy clothes widened as well as aunt Natasha. I couldn't believe David's harsh and heartless words. Lucia was silent and did not say a word.
"Watch your words!" the woman didn't like David's words. "You know nothing!"The woman's face flushed with anger and shame; she didn't like David's comments, which considerably hit her pride. He didn't care if there was Mrs. Romano in front of him.
"I'm just telling you the truth, you really aren't a girl anymore!"David said coldly. "And I don't like second-hand !! It disgusts me, " said David, still with his matte look, but the expression of disgust that David felt so visible on his face made his aunt and the girl furious.
"David, watch your speech!! Alexa Romanov is a good girl, well educated, it is very beautiful, she is a model. It's perfect to be with you David!"aunt Natasha exclaimed, trying to be calm even though anger had enveloped her.
"I'm not interested and don't care!"David said coldly, then stepped away from Natasha and the girl named Alexa.
"Wait David we're not done yet!"Natasha screamed.
"You can't force David, Natasha!!" exclaimed Lucia.
"But, Momm..." Natasha tried to sulk, but Lucia shook her head, then followed David's steps.
