She looked at his face after his unexpected statement, then looked away.
"You didn't tell me who you are, or what your name is?" She finally asked him the question she had been meaning to ask since she found him strange.
This question seemed to catch his attention because he opened his eyes revealing a golden iris, then turned to her, staring directly at her.
She held his gaze without quivering, not ready to back away.
His lips twitched, seeing her trying to act brave. His smirk returned to his lips.
"You want to know my name, bunny?" he asked back with a raised brow, tilting his head.
"Of course, I mean, you just walked into my house, took me without my consent without introducing yourself, is that proper?" Her sharp tongue has been activated, saying all the things that come to her mind.
She isn't that much of a talkative around people, most especially, Skye. She always feels shy around her crush. But now, there's this urge that pushes her to speak her mind, even though the aura around this stranger doesn't approve of it.
"You don't need to know my name bunny, because anyone who hears my name bears my wrath" Something flickered in his golden eyes that pierced through her soul as she looked at him and his dangerous smile, signifying that this man wasn't one to be triggered with.
He looked away and closed his eyes, as he continued tapping his fingers.
Alyssa looked away from him too, staring out the window, watching the disappearing cars, as theirs furthered more into the outskirts of the city.
"Ryder" a low voice rang in the silence of the car, pulling Alyssa out of her thoughts. She turned to him, never imagining that he would answer her question, well, one of them.
"You've a nice name, but a strange aura" She whispered the last part to herself but he heard her.
"There's nothing nice about me, bunny" he sneered.
"I have a name...
"I prefer calling you what I want"
He opened his eyes, then turned to her and grabbed her chin in place, so she could look at him.
"No one tells me what to do bunny, I do with you what I want and you have no say in it. You know why?... Because you're mine!" he whispered into her ears and bit her earlobe lightly, making Alyssa shiver.
He pulled away from her, his expression back to its normal cold state.
"We're here!" he announced and stepped out of the car, the door opened by one of the guards.
Alyssa was quiet as she followed and also stepped out of the car. A guard was also holding the door open for her.
Before her was a very gigantic grey mansion. It was a remote area with only the mansion in the whole place. The house was surrounded by tall trees and the ground was green with low grasses.
She was sure there were no neighbors miles away because judging by the distance and time they took from her home the surroundings were so quiet with birds chirping.
"Boss!" More than fifty guards lined up in twos and bowed at their boss as they passed their middle, towards the entrance of the gigantic mansion.
As they got inside, Alyssa noted ten maids also lined up to welcome the boss. They only gave her sneaky glances which she didn't mind at all. He ignored them and approached something that looked like an elevator. But before entering the elevator, he turned back, calling one of the maids who moved forward immediately to him, with her head bowed.
Alyssa noted that she was the headmaid because of her different maid wear, which differ from the other maids.
"...she's not allowed to use the elevator" These were the words that wind through Alyssa's ears before she saw Ryder entering the elevator, which would probably take him to his room.
'WHAT!!!' She looked at the staircases and her eyes widened by how long the stairs were. She was going to climb this?? Everday??
She wanted to object but he was long gone.
"Miss?" the headmaid called her.
She turned to her.
"The master ordered that you're to be taken to your room, so you can freshen up and get ready for breakfast" the headmaid relayed softly.
Alyssa nodded. Wanting to cool her head, she asked, "Can I take a look at the mansion? I want to explore the house."
"Of course! I was also ordered to take you around if you wish"
"This way miss"
The headmaid led her through. She looked around the living room she was currently in. The baroque chandelier looked beautiful, the cushion was all gray, and a glass-decorated center table in the middle on a center rug. The curtains were all black and the floor was tiled with white. The living room is so wide with masculine feeling with the owner's aura.
There was also a dining room, and on the left part side, there was a well-groomed kitchen.
Furthermore, they climbed the stairs. When they reached the last staircase, Alyssa had already broken into a sweat while the head maid was the way she was, making her crease her brows.
"Don't you get tired every day climbing to and fro these stairs?"
The headmaid gave a polite smile.
"You will eventually get used to it miss, just like us"
Alyssa only shook her head as they proceeded with the exploring.
They got to a door that looked like the master's bedroom.
"This is the master's room" the head maid indicated before pointing to a door adjacent to hers. "And this is yours miss"
Alyssa looked at the master's bedroom. The door was tightly shut and she was sure he was inside.
She turned to the maid, "Let's go explore my room"
With that, they went to her room and she was fascinated with how big it was.
The bed wasn't king-sized, but it was bigger than hers back at home. The walls were painted blue, typically not her favorite but she loved the inferiority of the room and the cool vibe the color was giving.
"Is it to your taste miss or do you want anything changed?"
"It's fine, I love it!" Alyssa exclaimed going through the walk-in closet which already had a few clothes in it.
"I'm glad you like it miss. Now you get ready and come down for dinner, the master doesn't like to be kept waiting" She smiled lightly at her before walking out of the room.
Alyssa sighed. The people here were strange and she wasn't supposed to be so happy to be here because she didn't know her faith yet. But she could only accept her new life till God knows when he will get tired of her and let her go.
She quickly went into the bathroom to freshen up, scared to keep the master Ryder waiting. There were required toiletries so she didn't mind using them.
After bathing, she came out wrapped in a towel and went through the closet for any clothes since she didn't pack her belongings along with her.
She rummaged through the surprising female clothes. She wondered if they belonged to the other women he did bring home.
She shrugged and picked a dress. It was a short knee-length green dress, complimenting her green eyes. The sleeves were long and the neckline was a deep v-neck, which she was sure would show some cleavage.
She wore the dress and combed her hair, letting it down, hiding her small face. She wore the flat shoes she had worn to the house and went out of her room, going downstairs.
As she climbed down, she could hear a male voice she was sure wasn't Ryder's. Curious to know who the other male was, she quickly rushed down, trying not to make her presence known.
But they had noticed her and they both turned to her. Ryder looked at her with his usual cold gaze. But the other male was the one who made her halt her steps.
She looked at him with widened eyes.
'What is he doing here!!!' she screamed inwardly.
