I woke up it’s my head pounding. I can’t believe what happened. I looked around the room but it was dark. I opened my mouth and said “hello?” I waited before continuing.
“ is anyone there?” This time I got a reply.
“Shut the f**k up!” A man turns on the lights. It hurts my eyes, closing them tightly.
He was a shorter man. Looked not older then me. He looked tired he got up and left the room. I stood to see I was in a 8x8 room. With no windows and only one door. I get up and push the door to see it is locked. I sit back down on the mattress on the floor. It was full of stains and was a nasty shade of yellow.
I waited for what seemed like forever for someone to come by. Unfortunately no one came by. I heard foot steps finally, and I yell “hey! Is anyone there?” I then hear the key lock turning. And to my amazement my eyes see what looks like a Greek god walk in. I felt significantly smaller then him just by his presence. His sharp jawline so sharp you may cut yourself smacking him. His short facial hair fit to his face well. His grey eyes emotionless, his mouth set in a straight line. His height of 6’3 made me look up to see him. As I worked my was back down this gorgeous man. I can see his body is muscular, his suit fit him perfectly. Finally he speaks pulling me from my head. And the bad thought I got.
“My name is Asher King” he said with a stern voice. He was just looking at me, as if he wanted me to say something.
“My name is kattee Roswell.” I said he waited a moment and then said.” Chris Roswell’s daughter” hearing my fathers name left me in shock.
“ who are you? Where am I? I demanded to go home!” I said with anger growing. I was getting a bad feeling.
Without even a second, Asher grabbed me pinning me against the wall. His face so close to mine I can feel his breath on me.
“You are nothing here, you think they care about what I do to you? Your lucky I took your pathetic ass.” His words had sting to them. But I was only getting more upset.
“Get off of me!” I yelled. He had my body pinned to the wall. I wasn’t moving anywhere. So I did the next best thing, and pushed my head back and went forward. He pulled back and I missed. But at-less he was away from my face. He grabbed me by my shoulders pushing my hard into the wall. And walking out the door. I hear him say, “get her bread and water.” And he walked away.
I again was alone.
After twenty minutes two men come into the room one throw the water at me. The other had the bread, and was eating it. One stepped forward and put his hand on my knee.
I pushed his hand off me. Discussed by the touch.
He smacked me and told me to get a good girl. I could believe what was happening. I felt my heart pick up speed. He put his hand over my mouth, pinning to the wall. I screamed and yelled. But no one was around to hear me. The other man simply walked out the door closing it behind it. I yelled and screamed while this man who was on me licked my neck and ear. Finally the door opened and the next thing I knew. The man was gone. I looked to the door to see Asher and three men. Asher didn’t glance my way. But turned to a short man who looked Asian he had more of a solid body type. And said Lee take care of it. He walked back out the room.
Lee turned to me and held out his hand. I looked at the man who have brown eyes. Short black hair and big small lips. He gave me a smile and said “it was okay.”
I grabbed his hand, scared of what might happened if I didn’t. He walked me through a nasty hall with hanging lights. It was dark for the most part. And smelled of urine and body Oder. We came to these stairs and I could see the outline of light from the other side. As he opened the door I was surprised to see the beautiful house I was under. The marble floors to the painted celling. The cherry wood stained furniture and the gold trimming. He walked me to a kitchen where he sat me down and make me a sandwich. Once I was done, he gave me a glass of water. I didn’t speak not wanting to get put back.
“My name is Lee, I am the right hand man to Asher.” He said with a small smile. I looked up and said “ hello, I’m kattee.”
He smiled. “ Asher has some news to tell you. When you are ready I will take you up to his office.” I looked down scared to ask, but if I was going to die I would want to know.
“Is he going to kill me?” I asked closing my eyes. “I don’t know” Lee said sounding unsure of what to say.
Having one last drink I said I was ready to go. Walking me up the grand staircase and to the double doors in the middle of the hall. He pushed the door open, having me go in. Once inside I noticed Lee did not enter, but left me in the office with Asher.
“Come sit down, I need to speak with you.” He said not lifting his face from the papers in front of him. I looked at both seats before picking the one on the left.
He put his papers down, and cleared his throat. “ your father and I have come to an agreement.” As he said this I had hope.
“My father paid you money, can I go home? “ I asked almost to happy. And with a simple work my world fell.
“No” he said with no emotion. “He is trading you for his debt being paid.”
I felt my world stop, no my father loved me. I was his baby girl, his princess. Asher stood up and walked around the desk. He looked down on me. And I felt my tears come up. But his next comment took me for a loop.
“Would you like me to kill them?” His voice stern. When I glanced up. He grabbed a cigarette and lit it, Blowing smoke out.
“What?” I asked as it he grow two heads and said hi. He looked me in the eyes and repeated. “ do. You. Want. Me. To. Them.”
“No they are my family!” I yelled standing up. He sat on the edge of his desk “ good.” He said flicking the cigarette. “ if you leave this house I will kill your whole family.” He said with a cool face. My heart dropped how could he be so evil. How could my family just sale me off. There is no way, I felt the sad and anger grow.
“Do you understand?” He said after a minute. “ f**k you! I’m not something can be traded or sold!” I was yelling my tears had fallen.
He stood and walked behind his desk. “ Do you understand, kattee.” He said. I didn’t believe it. I looked up and saw he was still as cool and when I walked in.
“Why me?” I asked and he smiled
“ he suggested it.” He was enjoying every second of this.
I wiped my face.” What happened now?” I asked. Asher then said “the two men who went to your cell, if it wasn’t for Lee walking by you could have been hurt.” He sounds mad all of a sudden. I looked over my shoulder to where I hoped Lee was.
“He is my right hand man, you should thank him.” But he said it in a commanding statement. “LEE!” He yelled and Lee came right in. I stood and ran to Lee hugging him, weather he knew it or not.
Lee saved me.
