It's ok to be broken

Chapter 11. A choice without option

Anna's eyes blazed with determination as she demanded to see Alex. "I want to see him now," she said, her voice firm.

The maids exchanged nervous glances before one of them spoke up. "Please, ma'am, calm down. We understand you haven't been feeling well since..."

"Since what?" Anna interrupted, her voice rising. "What's going on? Where am I?"

The maid hesitated before responding. "The master asked us not to tell you, ma'am. He didn't want you to sneak out and get injured."

Anna's face twisted in anger. "f**k you both and your master," she spat.

But before she could say another word, one of the maids stepped forward. "Ma'am, you need to get dressed. Your clothes are laid out for you."

Anna struggled against the maids as they tried to dress her. She kicked and screamed, but they were too strong. Just as it seemed like she was going to overpower them, one of the maids pulled out a syringe.

Anna's eyes widened in horror as the maid injected her with a sedative. She felt her body go limp, and her vision began to blur.

As she fell to the floor, Anna's last thought was of Alex. What had he done to her? And why?

Everything went black once again, and Anna's world was consumed by darkness.

Anna's eyes slowly fluttered open, and she was met with the sight of herself dressed in a elegant gown. She was lying on a plush bed, and the room was dimly lit. As she tried to sit up, she realized that she couldn't move. Her body felt heavy, as if it was weighed down by an invisible force.

Her eyes scanned the room, and that's when she saw him - Alex, standing in front of her, a smirk on his face.

Anna's eyes blazed with anger, and she tried to shout at him, but her voice was barely above a whisper. "What did you do to me?" she spat.

Alex chuckled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Just a little injection, my dear. So you wouldn't disturb me. But don't worry, it will wear off with time."

Anna's eyes narrowed, her mind racing with anger. "You called me here, manipulated me, and now you're drugging me?"

Alex shrugged, his expression nonchalant. "Desperate times call for desperate measures, Anna."

Anna's eyes welled up with tears as she thought of her little brother, Jack. "What is the meaning of this? My little brother is out there alone, no money, no school..."

Alex's expression turned cold, his voice dripping with menace. "Sign this contract, Anna, and your brother will be taken care of. Marry me next week, and I'll make sure Jack is very comfortable But if you refuse..."

Anna's heart skipped a beat as Alex's words hung in the air. She knew what he was capable of, and she knew that he wouldn't hesitate to hurt Jack.

But Anna refused to back down. "Jack is a brave and strong boy," she spat. "You don't have the balls to hurt him. And I'm not signing your stupid contract."

Alex's face twisted in anger, and he took a step closer to Anna. "You're making a big mistake, Anna," he hissed.

And then, without warning, he reached out and caressed her hair, his hand trailing down to her breast. Anna felt a wave of revulsion wash over her, and she tried to push him away, but she couldn't move.

Alex's hand tightened around her breast, and Anna felt a searing pain. And then, just as suddenly as it had begun, Alex slapped her across the face.

Anna's head spun, and she felt herself falling back onto the bed. As she looked up at Alex, she saw a mixture of anger and lust in his eyes.

"You're going to regret this, Anna," he spat, before turning and walking out of the room.

Anna was left alone, her face throbbing with pain, her heart heavy with despair. She knew she had to escape, but she had no idea how.
