A Slave!
She turned sharply looking at her father, it wasn't possible, why was he going to be a slave for this man? She doesn't even know him.
"Dad" she called softly but Mr Hart did not spare her a look
Devlin stared at the petite girl in front of him, she was so ethereal in looks, charming people with her face and that soft voice that could melt a soul. He took his eyes away from her and looked at Mr Hart.
"Don't think I have forgotten my money, I'll make you suffer pain till you pay back my money and also your precious daughter"
Summer has never heard such a cold tone before but this guy standing here looked like he wasn't one to joke with.
But wait, something was going on here without her knowledge. Precious daughter! Wasn't that Monica, when had she become his precious daughter?
"Yes sir, I haven't forgotten, I'll do everything to get your money back" Mr Hart replied
"You can go" Devlin said
Mr Hart turned towards the door to leave when he heard a low mumble from Devlin
"Where do you think you're going to" he asked
He turned sharply and was going to reply when he saw him staring at summer who was behind him. Summer looked at him
"You said we can go right?"
Mr Hart was angry, he held her wrist and pushed her towards Devlin saying in a stern voice"You stay here and serve Mr Grafton, do whatever he ask you to do and do not complain"
"But why" she did not understand why she has to be a slave to this man who was exhibiting a very strong aura and with his face as cold as a block of ice.
"Don't ask stupid questions and do as you've been told" Mr Hart whispered wickedly in her ears
"Treat it as paying back for taking care of you for a long time"
And with that sentence, he was out of the door leaving her all alone with a stranger.
Summer was furious from what she heard. How can they just decide she be a slave for this man!
Looking at the man who had a smirk on his face the whole time.
"I won't be a slave to you" she said angrily
"I don't see you having a choice here" Devlin responded
"We'll see to that" summer said dragging her suitcase marching towards the door
She opened the door and was about to go out when two burly bodyguards stopped her.
"What do you want" she questioned
They didn't reply her.
"You can come but you can't just leave as you please" Devlin said
She jumped hearing at his voice, turning to see him so close to her.
"I didn't come willingly"
"That doesn't change the fact that you are here" he said lazily
"Who the f**k are you" she asked angrily
"Devlin Grafton the guy who's gonna make your precious life miserable" he said in a do or die tone
He was getting pissed off too, he never expected Henry's daughter to be this beautiful. No, she was absolutely stunning! With that small plump lips on her cute little face. Her hair ran all the way her back and her curls caressed her forehead, she was like a piece of art. He shook his thoughts away glaring at her, he held her chin strongly, he felt her wince and he released his grip on her.
Pulling away from her, he said to her in a whisper" you're now my slave" and walked away.
Summer was scared out of her wits, why was her life like this and who the heck was that guy who got entangled with her father.
He had said his name was Devlin Grafton.
Quickly, she brought out her phone browsing if she could get any information about him, then she saw pictures of him, clicking on the picture she scrolled downwards reading. When she finished reading, her mouth was agape. He was Devlin, the vice chairman of the great Grafton Group, he had doubled the profit of the company which made him the youngest CEO in the country, he was handsome and fit and also very brutal and cruel when it comes to business dealings, he has it all but there was rumors that he never let a girl touch him.
She was so frightened that she fell on her knees, making her brains work faster, she could only come up with the fact that her father has borrowed money from this guy and wasn't able to pay back, and she has been used as a collateral. She started crying hard realizing how hard life has been to her.
"What are you doing squatting on the floor" she looked up to see a middle aged lady staring at her
"You must be the new maid" the lady asked
"I guess so" Summer responded weakly
"Follow me, I'll help you with the bag" she said taking her bag from her
"Thank you so much" she was glad to finally have someone who was kind to her
She followed her through the spiral stairs and got to know that the woman was the head housekeeper in charge of the affairs of the house, she told summer that summer would be in charge of Devlin's needs, send showed summer her room and she was awed by it, this was ten times more better than her room in the Hart house, she was surprised this was just a maid room and it looked elegant.
***
Summer was woke up early the next morning, she dressed and went out to see a young maid cleaning, she offered to help her but the girl refused, she asked why and the girl reminded her that everyone was told that yesterday that Summer was only to serve Devlin and no one else, speaking of which the girl grabbed a cup of water and pushed it to summer hands telling her to go up and check if Devlin would need anything.
Climbing up the stairs with heavy legs towards Devlin's room, she was scared as she came to his door and knocked, there was no answer. Relieved, she turned to go back when she heard a deep voice.
"Come in"
