Standing outside Adrian's mansion feels like I'm about to walk into an agreed slavery. Here I am paying for my father's debts. But i remind myself that this is a sacrifice that I have to and willing to make in order to save my family. I press the doorbell and after some moments, it opens.
Adrian's butler leads me into the house. There he is seated like a cold blooded tyrant.
" Kayla, my fiery dove", his voice smooth but predatory. "I knew you'd come"
The weight of his words pressing down on me very strongly.
" Not like I had a choice, did I?", I forced my voice. " I'm here now"
"So you are ready to agree to my terms?"
"Yes"
But instead of bringing out a contract or something,he swiftly pins me to the wall, his hand brushing my cheek. His hand made its way to my neck, wrapping around it. My heart pounds faster. It's like I can't breathe.
"Do you understand what you are agreeing to?", he whispers into my ears. His voice deep and stern. " It's not going to be sweet baby girl. For the next two years, you are mine. I get to own every piece of you. I know how stubborn and disobedient you can be, trust me, I don't take it quite lightly."
Still at his mercy, I clench my fist beside me.
"I understand"
He stares at me as his hands explore my body. I guess this is my life now.
"Kayla, if you try to be smart or do something funny, I won't just end the contract, I'll kill your father,make you beg for death but it would be out of reach."
If there's something everyone knows, Adrian doesn't make empty threats. He doesn't bluff. Keeping calm, I answer
"I'll keep to my end of the deal".
Adrian smiles widely and finally releases me and steps away from me. "That's good baby girl. Let's make it official then."

Watching her stand there, acting all tough is actually amusing to me. I love the fire in her eyes. It intrigues me. Here she is signing two years of her life to me, let's see how long she can keep it together.
Moving towards my desk to retrieve the contract I had prepared from the very beginning. Everything was meticulously arranged. I hold out the document to her, she seems a bit hesitant but takes it.
She skims over the pages as if looking for something, which of course she would never find. I know that she has no choice but to accept it.
" Everything looking good?", I ask casually
" Not like I can decline"
I smirk, enjoying every beat of her vulnerability.
" Then sign it, ayla. And keep this in mind--- you chose this"
With a heavy sigh , she signs her name sealing the deal.
A thrill rushes through my body, knowing that for the next two years she's mine to play with. When she holds out the contract to me, I pull her hands closer.
" Welcome to my world" I said leaning to her ears. "You are mine baby girl. And trust me, I don't plan on making it easy for you."

His words sink in, but I refuse to give him the satisfaction of seeing the effects they have on me. He may have taken my life, my freedom,my choice but one thing is for sure, I won't let him break me.
" I don't tolerate weakness and stubbornness ", his says, his deep voice cold. " If you want to survive in my world, you'll have to be quick witted. You will work and pay me back every single penny your father owes me. By the way, I already have a place for you to work in. Failure to comply and I'll make your life way more miserable than it is now. "
I swallow hard but manage to keep my voice steady. " I accept your rules,but I wouldn't be making it easier for you either."
His lips curve into a sinister smile. " Oh really?, I'm counting on it baby girl."
I can see the satisfaction in his eyes. It's obvious he loves seeing me this way. He's pushing me in every way trying to break me, but I won't let him have his way.
