Chapter 3
Caden's POV
"Stop it dad, as the first born, I have a right to do this too. I want to know what it feels like to drink blood while skinning a human". I said.
After hearing that, she looked terrified and I could hear her heartbeat race. She couldn't even cry, she was too sad and weak to cry or even react to what was happening.
I grabbed her arms tight and dragged her out of the mansion into my black Lamborghini.
"I promise you, you'll be fine. I am not killing or skinning you, I'd rather make you work as my servant ". I assured her
"Thank you so much for sparing my life" she thanked me, without any hesitation.
"It's okay you are still young , you deserve to live and I couldn't watch that happen to you". I replied.
"The name is Caden, you don't need to call me master".
" Al-al-alright master Caden" I said , covering her mouth with her hands, realizing she had just repeated what I corrected her about.
"It's okay you just have to stay calm and get used to me". I said with a smirk.
She looked very worried and disturbed. I noticed the tears that were held back in her eyes as she was trying to hide them.
"Is everything okay with you?" I asked,
"Yes Master!" She replied, trying to make her face as straight as possible in order to make sure I didn't notice she was sad.
"Alright if you insist, just be fine and if you need anything I'm here for you". I replied but I was convinced something was very wrong.
She nodded her head, responding to what I said..
We arrived at the mansion, then I took her to my room and immediately searched for my first aid box to clean up the injury she had on her back. Then I took out a cotton wool and an iodine container.
"This will hurt but try your best to endure it" I said as I dipped the cotton Into the container.
"Take off your shirt". I continued.
Her eyes widened like I had just said something very absurd.
She reluctantly took it off and backed me
He carefully dressed the wounds but I couldn't stop groaning in pain. The pain was so unbearable so I couldn't be silent.
I had finished the dressing already but the pains were still there. She couldn't stop groaning, then I gave her a pill of pain killers.
Immediately I was done with her, I went straight to the bathroom to shower.
I got out of the bathroom to look for my hair brush, then I noticed Ashley was looking towards me but she was lost in thought, so i walked towards her and snapped my fingers at her face.
"What are you thinking about?" I asked.
"I-I-I am so-so-sorry, I didn't mean to look at you" she said with fear all over her face.
I had to calm her down, "Hey, Ashley, take a deep breath, yes I'm a vampire but I'm not going to eat you or pluck your eyes out, you're my slave and also my friend". I said, hoping she would be cool after she heard the word FRIEND.
"Sir did you just call me friend?" ,she said, in an excited manner.
" Yes I did, you get to get what you want. I'll take care of you as long as you don't ever disobey me", I assured her.
"Disobey? Never! I'll always obey you and do as you say" she said, as she looked up to me.
"Okay good" I said , grabbing my hairbrush from the bed.
As soon as I was done dressing up in the closet, I told Ashley to have her bath too, I gave her the clothes I wanted her to wear because yeah I love my stuff looking like mine.
Ashley was done bathing, then she wore the gown I had given her to wear, something very free that wouldn't make the wounds hurt more and would let air enter it.
"Ashley, come here and let me style your hair for you. I want you to look perfect with the dress", I said to her in a very low and friendly tone.
"Alright master" she said, as she walked slowly towards me looking so curious.
I told her to sit on the dressing chair in front of the mirror, then after she sat, I brushed her hair and oiled it so I could brush it, I styled the hair into a ponytail and I cut out a part of her hair at the front to make a fringe. Then I put a purple bow on top. She looked perfect to me. The purple matched the blonde her hair color was.
"Let's go and have dinner" I said, pointing my hand at the door, gesturing that she should get up.
Then she stood up and followed me. The dining hall was a bit more noisy than usual, probably because they had all changed their slaves but I decided to ignore it. Slaves weren't allowed to sit with us at the table, but our personal slaves had their own table separately and they weren't allowed to talk to each other..
Leo was sitting beside me at the dining table, " You told dad you wanted to skin her , so what's she doing here?" He asked.
I was obviously annoyed with his question because I hate people poking their noses at my business.
"That's my problem and not yours, so mind your business" I said, in a very harsh tone.
" Bro chill I was just asking, I was just asking" he said, laughing as he sipped his glass of blood.
He didn't see I was in a serious mood, but anyway, I changed the topic.
"How about your business?" I asked with my mood totally changing from anger to normal.
Ashley wasn't comfortable so she took her food and went back to the room.
When I was done eating, I headed back to the room. It was already late. I met Ashley on the balcony. She was very depressed .
" What are you doing here alone, looking so depressed?" I asked, with so much concern.
"I-I-I- I am uh-uh it's nothing" she muttered .
"It's okay, you can talk to me. I promise I will neither harm nor hurt you" I said, reassuring her.
She let out a great sigh , then she started talking.
"I just miss my family. I don't even know if they're dead or alive. I don't know what condition they are in , I don't know if I'm ever going to see them again. I don't know whether to raise or drop my hopes. I'm just so lost" she said, as she burst into tears.
" Everything will be fine, I promise", I said, as I didn't know how to console her more than that.
" Do you mind telling me more about you?" I asked, because I was curious to know.
"I am eighteen years old, my full name is Ashley Ross and I love music and dancing a lot"
" Yeah good but I'm not really a fan of music anyways, I don't really like loudness either" I was very bored already and sleepy too, so I just wished Ashley a goodnight sleep, hoping she'd sleep after I did.
My eyes started to open gradually as the early morning light filtered through the curtains into my eyes, then I stretched my limbs to work out the kinks from a long night sleep.
I got up and then I saw Ashley on the velvet couch a bit next to my drawer. She was still sleeping. Of course she was still worked up about last night. It wasn't an easy experience for her.
I tapped her, it was 7am already. So she had to wake up,eat breakfast and do her chores,then she got up almost immediately I tapped her.
"Good morning master Caden, she said as she jumped off the couch.
"Good morning Ashley, please don't call me master again. I'm not convenient with it, I have never allowed any of my slaves to.
"Alright Caden, I'm sorry" she apologized .
"It's fine as long as you don't do it again. Let's go for breakfast" I said, with a smile on my face.
I had Leo had a conversation that reminded me of work. I checked the time, "Oh I'm running late,. Please, when Ashley is done open the door for her ,she doesn't have her face on the door to unlock it yet, so use yours", I said hurriedly.
I went to the room. I quickly dressed up for work and left, but just before I got out.
I saw Leo roaming around my room door. He was looking so suspicious but I was running too late, so I decided to ignore it and left.
