There he was, the famous game master. To my surprise, he bought a gift. Under a curtain similar to the one I had on my face earlier was a woman. He unveiled her. My eyes couldn't believe who stood before them. It was Daisy. She was crying.
He said, "welcome! I am sure you have met my wife, Daisy. one of my pawns told me about your investigation when I took her. Honey, do you know this man?" he pushed her towards the floor. I wanted to do something but I stood still. She shook her head no. the game master said, "look again darling, he seems to be fond of you. You must know him. Now tell me the truth." the game master's voice scared me. He pulled her hair back and pointed her face towards me.
She said, "believe me master, I don't know this man. He was one of my classmates but we have never really spoken. My friends told me he liked me but I never spoke to him. You are the only man in my life. You have to trust me."
Hearing Daisy's cruel words, my eyes started tearing up. I was left blank. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do. I wanted this to stop. The game master said, "oh! I understand; he is a lover. Is this why you visited the institute so often? My driver told me you asked to be driven there. Is this the man you have been selling your body to?"
I couldn't take it anymore and I finally said, "what the hell are you talking about?"
Daisy interrupted me, "no my master. I went there to meet the lady in black. She enjoyed mocking people there and she said it is pleasing. I haven't met this man. Let's go inside and I will prove my allegiance to you. I will show you who my body belongs to. Come inside. Let this man go I don't know him."
The game master stared at me suspiciously. He grabbed Daisy by her neck and lifted her up. He screamed, "if I were to find out that you were lying, the consequences will be harsh. He is my guest and I will not be letting him go. Since he loves you so much, it is only fair that he gets to watch. Everyone except the three of us, leave the mansion immediately. Close the doors on your way out. It is show time."
I was shocked at what I was hearing. Was he talking about assaulting his wife in front of me? I interrupted him. I said, "lets talk man to man. Send the lady out. What do you want from me?"
The game master let out a chuckle as he grabbed Daisy tightly. He quietly unzipped her dress saying, "this is what I want. I want you to watch the love of your life be touched by your worst enemy. It turns out she is better at this than your sister was. Sadly, your mother never got a chance to try."
I was so angry. I couldn't take it and I ran toward him in my bout of anger. I pushed him. He lifted me by my neck and threw me across the room. He said, "don't forget who you are facing Neil. You may not see my face but you should sense my power. Sit and watch what you are being showed. I won't be polite again. You have a lot to see. This woman is a sex machine. See as I lick away her sorrows. Watch me take away her pain. Here the moans of her joy. This is the woman you love right? You must have imagined doing this to her. Watch me do it now!"
The game master's words disgusted me. Why was he doing this? What did he want from me? Did my pain simply grant him pleasure. Did speaking about his wife this way grant him pleasure? My head was spinning. He started to undress her. I averted my eyes. I was crying. I didn't want this. I9 didn't want to be here. I wondered what shame Daisy must be feeling. I looked away.
The game master said, "the more you look away the more painful this will be for her. I suggest you don't even blink if you want her to survive this."
Daisy was being strong. She wasn't saying a word. She wanted to prove to the game master that she had nothing to do with me. She had to prove it before he destroyed everything. She gave in. She had to look like she wanted this. He proved his words right. He did everything to her and he made me watch. She did everything too because she had to prove it. I hated myself for doubting her in my mind. I hated myself for thinking that she was actually on his side. I knew in my heart that she was doing this to save my life but with every second that passed by, I wanted her to let me die instead.
I screamed, "stop! Please. I can't take this anymore. What do you want from me? My investigation for this stranger was a long time ago. I don't love her anymore. I already heard that she married you. She is a monster just like you. I was investigating for my family. I want to see my sisters. Where are all the women you have been taking? What are you doing to them? What is your plan? Even if you kill me now, one day there will be someone who stops you."
The game master let out a huge laugh as he re dressed himself. Daisy ran inside out of shame. The game master said, "well I guess you really are over her. Looks like you have upset her though." He started laughing again. Out of annoyance I asked him to stop. He said, "I am laughing because you said I am going to kill you. I won't kill an intelligent man like you. I am going to use you. Mr. Neil, you now serve me. I am your leader. I have everything you have ever loved. Tell me everything you know and I will help you know more."
