Qira's pov
I didn't know what I was dreaming about but all I know that it wasn't a pleasant one. My life has become a nightmare on its own so I wasn't shocked that it had conveyed into my dreams.
I put my hand on my chest and that was when I found out I was already back in my room the one I would referred to as a mini paradise but yet felt like a cage. I clearly remembered passing the night at Marion's chamber, so I guessed the monster have ordered one of his guards to bring me here. But how could I have been so carried away deeply in my sleep not to even feel a touch on my skin? I grasped for a moment.
Just then, the door opened and a maid walked in, she was dressed in a black and white uniform. In her hands was a truckload of varieties of meal.
"ma, Don Marion asked me to bring you breakfast. He asked me to tell you to shower and then meet him in his study" she said putting the food she had brought on the table.
I wanted to object and tell her to tell him he can thrust the command but then I remember it was for my own advantage to obey and to avoid further unwanted scenario.
I ate breakfast reluctantly and then went to the bathroom to shower. If not only but to wash out the monster's irritating touch off my skin. I tried not to think about it too much and prepared myself.
When I got out of the bathroom, there were clothes already laying on the bed. They consist of a brown handless gown that hugged my curvy shape and a jacket to cover my upper boobs with a pair of slide match up the outfit. The clothes were a perfect fit as if the maid who picked them knew what I wanted.
I went to the door and tried to open it. To my surprise, it wasn't locked. Immediately I took a step out of the room, I saw a guard standing outside the walk way. With a chill smile he gestured for me to follow him when he saw me . I silently followed him . We got to a huge rosewood door and he opened the door for me . I entered and saw Marion seated with a phone placed on his ear.
" ask them to pay the right amount. 30 percent of the cost of the goods . And if they refuse, seize the goods and send them back to their city" he said to the person at the other end and hung up.
Whatever he was discussing with the person I knew for sure it wasn't a good deal. As much as I hated it but I have found myself dinning with this devil.
Without taking a look at my direction, he said "sit down".
I stood wanting to reject the offer. Whatever he wanted to say I was ready to stand and listen to his bushit. He looked at me and leaned back in his chair. He gave me a dangerous stare that told me he was the kind of man who always got what he wanted. And objecting it was a drastic decision, I sat down opposite him and snuffed.
"You will be taking over as the next underworld from tomorrow" the world registered in my head like a thunder.
Never! I objected. How could I Qira kampla get myself in a mess position like that. An illegal position that seeks to share blood and thirsty for crime. What would Anslo think of me, that would be a big shame to the Daughter a once respected justices seeker.
His actions was contradicting the way he was looking at me. He looked at me like I was a toy he couldn't wait to throw around but he touched me like I was the most delicate.
"The sooner you accept your fate the more bearable it will be for both of us", he yelled and redirected his hand from my face.
'If you think I will allow you bend me to your own gain, then you must really be a joker' I replied with a menace tone
He chuckled and put his hand on my chin. He pressed hard and leaned closer so that his Godforsaken breath was fanning my face.
" I don't expect anything declining. Belief me, I love a demanding challenge. I'll enjoy breaking you in pieces, Qira" he said leaving a cruel heartless smile on his lips
I moved my head away to pull my head from his grasp. He stood up straight and started walking back to his chair.
Don't you have any humanity? I asked hoping to push my chance with him
" I didn't build this captivating empire by being subtle, I'm not a good man by any means. I've killed, I've intimidated, my business practices are illegal, immoral and they make me a lot of money. I've got no intention of going legit any time soon". He said
The only thought that was possibly running through my head, was that of pulling a trigger in the skull of the devil who had no consideration for others. I didn't know I was signing my death sentence when I took those pen in front of the crowd and signed the wedding documents. If only this nightmare could go away. But sadly this is reality
" I'll let you rest for today but tomorrow we will start the preparations". He said and pour a little quantity of champagne into a glass cup and sipped it while he gave me an intimidating look.
I stood up and took my leave banging the door so loudly. I knew the day ahead before me was going to be a long one.
