Chapter 3
I dropped the plate that's why it broke.
"I-I didn't know you were a rapist too" I said shakily while closing my eyes. He stopped and stopped what he was doing.
"Relax Erin... I'm not touching you yet. Why are you shaking?" It was obvious in his voice that he was happy. I clenched my fist and did not speak
"Just so you know, I'm not touching you. I'm just training you because before I fuck you and return you to your family, I'm going to punish you first" I didn't know but I was suddenly hurt.
"Don't act because first of all, you're useless" He let go of me and walked away from me
"It's your thing to be without clothes... So I won't give you any clothes. I want my slave undressed" He said and immediately left me.
Tears came to my eyes. I sobbed and held my chest because it suddenly felt heavy and throbbing. I know. I knew I was worthless from the start. My family always made me feel like I'm worthless. That's when it hurts.
But I didn't know that it hurts more when it comes from someone else. I cried as I washed the plate shaking.
I groaned as I touched a sharp object. The plate was broken earlier. I looked at my hands and cried secretly while looking at my wounded hand
After I washed, I went straight to bed and wrapped myself in a thick blanket. I feel sorry for my appearance now. My chest was so heavy that I was able to close my eyes and go to sleep.
I took a deep breath and opened my eyes. I was about to move when I felt something heavy on me.
I was stunned when I turned to see who was next to me. The man was fast asleep with his arms wrapped around my waist. From the looks of it, it's obvious that I can't just escape from his embrace. I stared at him for a moment. I was stunned by the closeness of his face. I can only say one thing, he is handsome. He has a race because his appearance can be traced, he is white, has a piercing nose and has... Red lips.
I freely stared at his face while still dumbfounded. I can't believe that someone like him is a criminal killed of a person. Could he be the famous criminal who is always in the news? As far as I remember he was not just a criminal but also a keller. He has kill people. Usually the rich have power
I was startled when he suddenly woke up. His beautiful eyes looked directly at me. My chest pounded because he thought so. It's like I'm reading an emotion that I can't identify.
I looked away and was about to get up but he stuck me closer to his body
"Stop avoiding my gaze Erin... Look at me" He ordered but I didn't obey. I remained stunned at the ceiling. Suddenly, what he said to me earlier entered my mind, which is why my chest felt heavy again
"You're always crying" I blinked and that's when I realized that my tears were falling
"But it's okay. I love seeing you in pain" I was even more hurt because of what he said. My chest got heavier. That's what my sister told me before. He was happy to see me hurt
"Get up and cook for me. I'm hungry" He said coldly and got up first.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I do not know how to cook
"I-I don't know how to cook..." I felt ashamed again when I told him that. I'm not like this before, I don't care if I learn or not.
I don't even cook with us. He stopped and looked at me with a frown
"Are you really a woman? You don't know how to wash some plates and now you don't know how to cook. Don't tell me you also don't know how to wash your clothes?" He asked annoyed that I bowed
"I-I don't do that to us... There are maids and they are the ones who do it" He gasped violently.
"Oh sh*t! I just brought something to swallow here?! You ahould practice doing household chores Erin you're not young anymore" I looked up at him and was stunned.
This is what I want to hear from my parents. That they would preach to me and force me to learn housework but they didn't do it. I was even allowed to grow up ignorant of housework. I can't believe I'm hearing this from him
"What's with that look?! You're going to fight?!" His cold snort made me bend down again
"Get up now Erin! I don't care if you don't know how to cook! You should practice on your own" He firmly promised that's why I got up
I still doubted whether to remove the blanket from my body. I was surprised when he pulled it so I was standing naked in front of him again
"Now cook!" He ordered and pulled me towards the kitchen in annoyance
I want to cry now. What will I do? what first I washed my own face while staring at the ingredients in front of me.
I really don't know what to cook. I don't even know
The man came back and leaned in front of me without emotion.
"You're wasting 30 minutes standing there and doing nothing Erin. What now?" I looked at the ingredients in front of me.
"I-I don't know... Teach me" I weakly promised and begged looking at him.
He stared at me for a moment before slowly approaching and putting on a t-shirt. I was even disappointed because I won't be able to see her beautiful body.
It's Erin! Stop it! Where did you find the person?
He took the ingredients and stared at me for a moment then crossed his arms
"Don't tell me you don't know how to cook rice?" I smiled because I knew how it was. Nanny Melda taught me that when she once got sick and I cooked because our housemates were on vacation and mommy, daddy and sister were on a business trip so we were the only ones left at home.
"I know" I said briefly and looked around and smiled when I saw the rice cooker. I was about to go there when he grabbed my arm He took off the t-shirt he was wearing and put it on me
"Wear this. Your b**bs are shaking and distracting. I really should have slapped that when you were sleeping" My cheeks turned red because of his unrestrained mouth.
After putting on the knee-length dress, she felt sick
"Go, if your cooking is really not good, you swear you will eat it all" He said rudely and continued to cut the ingredients
I took a deep breath and started cooking rice. I'm just busy doing what I'm doing and acting normal. There is no fear in my chest because I know what to do.
"You sure you can do it?" He asked reassuringly and I nodded.
When I plugged in the rice cooker, I sat down for a moment and turned my gaze to him. His face was serious as he cut the ingredients.
I came a little closer and looked at what he was doing. I couldn't help but be amazed because he was like a chef cooking because of the speed of his movements and the cleanliness of his work.
He looked at me and stopped when he saw me looking at him
"Come here, I'll teach you how to slice some seasonings" He said. I was stunned and hesitated to approach him
"Faster Erin, I'm hungry. I wish you could cook it if you only knew how" He said coldly so I immediately came over.
He let go of the knife he was holding and pulled me then placed it in front of me. I swallowed and was shocked when I felt him behind me simply hugging me and supporting me while cutting
"Give me your hands" I couldn't understand what I felt when his hand touched mine. He kindly held it and let me hold the knife that was in front of him "Calm yourself down Erin, I won't do anything" He said sweetly and slowly cut the ingredients.
My hand went along with the cutting because he was holding it and another, I had the knife in my hand. I feel his breath hitting my neck
When he finished, he slowly put the ingredients in the container using my hands again and his hand that was holding it.
"You should know how to slice some spices and seasonings Erin. What if you come with me. I don't want to not cook yet" There was something different in the tone of his speech. He seems to be implying something else there
"D-don't worry. I'm going to learn to cook" I answered him. He didn't say a word and let go of my hand and grabbed my waist
"The next thing is we should mix them all so that we can start to cook" He said and turned on the stove and put the pan there then added oil
I was quiet on the sidelines while he was doing that. I stared at what he was cooking as he slowly mixed all the ingredients
"W-what are you going to cook?" I asked him
"I'm going to cook rice porridge" My eyes widened and I looked at the pork meat placed on a table.
I was stunned and stared at him. That's my favorite.
"Wow! That must be delicious. That's my favorite" I promised with a smile and looked at what he was cooking again He stopped and looked at me for a moment, which is why I bowed
"I wish you had said. I wouldn't have cooked anymore" I frowned because of his response. Bad!
He grinned at me and let go of the spoon he was carrying and leaned against the kitchen wall and looked at me with a smile still on his lips.
"You're bad..." He grinned and later laughed
"It's just a joke Love. Of course I will cook everything for you" He came closer and kissed my cheek which stunned me.
"Check the rice so that we can start eating" He said and continued cooking. Stupidly, I stood up and went to the rice cooker with a heavy chest thump
I was amazed while tasting the rice porridge he cooked. I keep going back and forth because it's really delicious. Naya Melda's cooked porridge was also delicious, but the man in front of me cooked something different
"Sleep early later. I'm leaving" He said suddenly and put away what he ate.
He stared at me coldly as if threatening me "Don't try to escape Erin. I just want to know that you left. I swear, I will go to c*t that head of yours" He threatened that I swallowed and nodded
I thought for a moment. It's my chance to escape later. When I happen to be able to leave here. I just have to pretend to follow him
When he left I was left behind. For a moment I thought about what could be done to escape. I looked at the door. I approached it and dropped my shoulder when I saw that it was locked. I looked at the window, something was blocking it I went upstairs and looked around my room. When I saw that there was a window there, I immediately opened it and I was very happy to see that there was no barrier like the one below
One by one I removed its jalousie slowly and climbed up there. I was about to jump when I saw that I would fall too high by chance and I would definitely break.
I took a deep breath and when I looked outside, my shoulders slumped and I really lost hope. There is a big gate outside and there is a lock on it so even if I get out there is still a barrier outside and I have to climb it again.
I was surprised when someone grabbed my waist. I was stunned in the stands
"You're so stubborn Erin. Now, face your punishment"
