THE POWER OF LOVE

I got dressed. into the dress that mom gave me. I went down stairs. And saw a group of men sitting down stearing at me wiredly like they are going to devour me. my eyes traveled to mom and Lolita where they where chatting along with some of the men, What are all this men doing here, was this what she meant when she said she was going to get rid of me. I was just standing there clueless, scared and speechless, before mom spot me standing and spoke. let all have something to eat gentle men, Ariana come and take a seat, gentle men this is Ariana. "Whoever pays the highest amount of money can have her after dinner, you can do whatever you want with her. she says with no sense of remourse, the men's eyes lit up. All their attention was now on me. they where all looking at me in ways that I don't feel comfortable about, one of the men try to touch me. I flinched and slapped his hand away. Arianna don't be rude to your bidder's, Lolita says. with greeted teeth, now you will be destroyed and finally I will have peace, from all those my stupid boyfriend's. Who couldn't seem to have better things to talk about other than how beautiful you look. she says groaning. I can't believe my own sister whome I love with all my heart is thinking of doing this to me. my mind was void. I felt tears rolled down my cheeks, I felt more hurt than I felt earlier. all I did was to love Mom and my sister lolita, why can't they love me thesame way. I love them, I didn't not Know what to think what to say or what to do, but I knew I had to get out of here, and I have to do it fast. I stood up from the dining chair and ran out of the house. get her I can hear mom's voice screaming, instructing the men, but I didn't not bother to look back I just kept running as far as my leg could take me I never stopped my eyes were blurring with tears. I kept running not thinking not looking back I just ran. All I know is that I have to save my dignity, it is the last thing that is still keeping me from falling apart I have to protect it with all the strength I have. I kept running until I accidentally bumped into someone. I was about to fall when a strong muscling hand was wrapped around me. I looked up to see a pair of beautiful sea blue eyes, staring back at me. suddenly my eyesight blur I felt dizzy and next slop into Oblivion. I passed out in his arms. I woke up and found myself on a very huge bed I snuggle onto it welcoming the comfort it has to offer. before realization struck me like a lightening bolt. I look at my body and saw that i was in a pajamas. I sat upright I was wide awake. I look around and see that I am in an unknown room. where am I. I start to panic. Did one of the men from last night get me, all sort of different horrible thought were on my mind. I study the room properly as I stepped down from the bed and make my way to the door it was a very huge house. This room is five times bigger than my whole living room. Luckily the door was open. This house is huge and extremely beautiful. but that wasn't all I care about right now. all I care about is finding the exit of this huge house and getting out of here. I was tiptoying around the house not knowing if I was in my right mind. I was deep in my negative thoughts. When a manly husky voice startle me. where do you think you are going. without even saying a proper thank you. I was in shock, panic trailed all over me. who are you. The face looked familiar it was the man from last night. Is that your way of saying thank you he says faking annoyance. No. did you do anything to me, how did I end up here, who changed my clothes, don't tell me you did, i say all in one go. he just kept staring at me like I was crazy or something. Is that your way of repaying my hospitality. he asked again with a Stern voice this time. it looks like he was starting to loose his cool. And the issue your clothes I didn't change them. I am not those type of guys that just flirt around with any chick they find on the street. What? did he just say that I am a chick. I scrunch my eye brows in disgust. I am not a slut or whatever you think I am. I say to him with a Stern voice. but you do look like one with the way you were dressed last night. so if you are not a slut. what where you doing in that dress and who where you running from last night. He asked rising one of his eye brows and folding his hands on his chest. I stopped on my tracks as all that happened last night replayed on my memory. I fell on my knees and start sobbing. I tried to pull myself together but I couldn't. I cannot not control the ache and pain I feel in my heart. I felt someone patting my back as I cried. I looked up and saw it was him. Why deos he care, no one care. So why should he. Thanks you for saving me I said to him with a husky voice, my throat have dried from too much crying. It okay, you are welcome by the way my maid changed your clothes not me so you don't need to worry you are safe with me. He help me up on my feet and lead me back to the room where I came from. he sat me down on the bed. go take a shower Dalia will come get you for lunch he says, and went out of the room. "Lunch what my eyes widened how many hours have I slept. I stood up and opened a door I assumed to be the bathroom. It was huge and beautiful bigger than my whole room. I turned on the hot shower. I took a bath brush my teeth and went out of the toilet. I saw a lady in the room arranging a dress on the bed, good morning ma'am she greets me. Ummm morning I replied hesitantly. as wasn't used to people greeting me with respect. Please put this on ma'am. I pick up the dress and put it on. my name is Ariana. quit the formalities just call me Ariana, I say to her with a smile. No ma'am I can't. Mr alexander will not be pleased with that. It my job to serve you ma'am, and I am well payed for it. I am at your service. what is she saying, I don't even leave here and she talking about being at my service. I ignored all that. She lead me downstairs to the sixth floor, this house is huger than I thought.
