The Next Day,
At the airport
Country Z
In the silent arrival room, people suddenly turned around, hearing the clacking of heels which belonged to a tall and curvy figure. She had long hair, which was obviously dyed. Her lashes were very long and thick. she had pale pink lips which was smeared with red lipstick and wore a very short blue expensive looking elegant gown. She smiled seeing how much attention she had seeked. When she stopped walking, everyone turned cursing her in their minds.
"Why, it's not my fault that I am so beautiful" She removed her shades to see a woman in her late thirties that had just come in front of her.
"You came to pick me up early, Hazel. That is good, because I do not tolerate imprompt behaviours. It is good that you made a good impression of your self to me after not meeting for so many years."
Hazel smiled at Lisa.
"Okay okay. Give me a hug now, Lisa"
Lisa returned her smile, pulling Hazel in for a quick hug before dusting off the invisible dirt Hazel left on her skin. Hazel rolled her eyes at Lisa.
"Now, let's get you ready. You have a lot to do"
"Sure"

Aara twisted as her eyelids slowly opened, fluttering her naturally long lashes and yawned. It was already dawn and she felt like she had been sleeping for ages. Aara stretched her body, as it was her routine whenever she woke up. She sighed remembering the events of yesterday. Right...she was still owned by someone. By Lucian Grey. Lucian had made her strip dance for him and walked away in the middle of it. Her remembering those events made her shiver.
"What if I escape from here?"
"Don't even think of it. Because I will find you and when I do..." Lucian said, coming closer to the bed and stopped, bending to her level. His lips curled up in a smirk, seeing Aara's chest go up and down in fear.
"What will you do if I escape?" Her voice quivered as she spoke, causing Lucian to arch a brow at her sudden confidence.
"You talk to me like that? Seems like you were not disciplined well in Spades, right? I could build up Spades and sell you there or to another slave establishment if you do not talk like the way you should, Aaralyn"
Aaralyn swallowed, seemingly scared.
"Do you want me to do that, little chick?" Aaralyn looked down and shook her head.
"Oh? you have no words now?"
"F-forgive me master. Please don't sell me off"
"Good girl. Just be a good little chick and I will not sell you off, hm?"
"Yes, master."
Lucian smiled, retreating to his original position. "Get ready. We are going somewhere"
"W-where?" Lucian turned to meet her her questioning gaze which she later narrowed.
"You do not need to know" Aara nodded at his rude remark. She watched him leave, nibbling on her lower lip, nervously. Where was she going to? Thought Aara. While Aara was contemplating whether to take his words seriously or not, someone barged in her room. From the way she was dressed, Aara guessed that she was a maid. She had brown hair and green eyes. Aara looked at the name tag on her dress. Janet...
The maid had brought in some clothes. Janet dropped the clothes on the floor and turned back to leave without saying a word.
"who are these for?"
Janet sighed. "You" Aara nodded looking at the clothes on the floor. She picked them up and dropped them on the bed.
"Thanks. You can leave now" Aara said, checking out the clothes.
"You think you are supposed to be here? You just got here by chance, okay? And let me tell you that you should not get near Lucian or e-"
"I have no time for this. Please get out. I need to get ready"
Janet gritted her teeth. She felt like inflicting pain on Aara and getting some bruises on her spotless looking skin but feared what Lucian would do to her, after. She clenched her fists and left.
Aara rolled her eyes and walked to the toilet. After bathing, she felt her skin going back to the vibrant and pale white complexion she had and grinned at her reflection on the mirror. She wore the basic green gown she was given and tied her hair up in a ponytail. Aara sighed. It had been so long she looked so innocent. She quickly made her way to the stairs, running as fast as she could to see Lucian impatiently waiting.
"Do you usually take that long to get ready in Spades?"
"Well...I did not want to embarrass you"
"And you think you have done well not to embarrass me with that dreadful looking dress? Well your efforts were wasted. let's go" Aara rolled her eyes, following Lucian to where his car was parked in the huge and technological garage. Aara looked at the cars and swallowed. 'The life of a mafia...' Thought Aara, looking around, seeing dozens of cars.
"Are...these all yours?"
"..." Aara nodded when Lucian did not answer her. She had asked such a stupid question. Of course they were his.
"What are you waiting for, chick...Don't tell me you're waiting for me to open the door for you"
"No, no. Why would you do that? I was just checking if I forgot something" Aara said, annoyed by his cocky attitude. They usually opened the doors in trucks and cars for her even in the slave establishment. Lucian's lips turned up in a smirk as she looked at Aaralyn from up to down.
"Get in the car" He said with a serious tone. Aara pursed her lips getting in the car. After what seemed like an hour of driving in silence, Aara smacked her lips, bored. She thought of different places Lucian could take her to but none of them seemed to be right. Was he trying to take her to the slave establishment? But she did nothing wrong.
"Master..." She called but Lucian did not answer her and just continued driving.
"Master!"
"You know I am not deaf, Aaralyn" Aara sighed.
"If I did something wrong, just tell me..."
"..."
"Master are you hearing me?"
Lucian stopped the car and banged the steering. Why did his little chick have to be so persistent and stubborn?
"Rule three. Do not talk to me except you are asked to. Understood?"
"Where are you taking me to?"
"That is not your business. Remember. You belong to me and not to yourself. Don't forget that" Aaralyn exhaled, calming her nerves.
"Get out"
Aaralyn looked at him. Did he want to just drop her in the middle of no where? This man was such a rude, cocky, annoying master. Her eyes welled at the thought of being abandoned in a strange place. What if Georgia finds her?. Lucian looked back at her when she did not get out. He sighed and massaged his temples.
"What a stubborn little chick. We have arrived" Lucian pointed at Aara's direction. She turned and saw a huge shopping mall. It was the best in country Z and known for their amazing clothes, but only the rich and fortunate could get in because their clothes were so expensive that one would save a year of their salary just to buy a dress.
"Oh...?"
"My properties must have some standard. You don't want to ruin my reputation by wearing such clothes, do you?"
Aara looked down, mortified. "Forgive me...master" She whispered and stepped out of the car. After shopping for some clothes, Lucian looked over to see a sex shop. He arched a brow, as if thinking deeply then smirked.
"Hey, little chick"
"Rule four..."
Aaralyn looked at Lucian suspiciously. She shook her head, seeing the sex shop that caught Lucian's attention. No...Please don't say it...
