His Slave

Chapter 4: ESCAPE

Chloe's POV

We are now eating dinner and I can't help but look in his way. He is eating as if he was not earlier to me. He is so calm that I think that he is a psycho.

The way he looks at me with so much hatred earlier is different. I never saw anyone look at someone like that, as if he was about to eat me alive. My heart is still rising right now even though I keep on calming myself. I need to leave this place before he does something to me.

"So kitten, how did you like your room?" He asked calmly, and his brown eyes were looking straight at mine.

"I liked it," I said almost in a whisper.

"That is good to hear. I would tell my driver and guards to escort you tomorrow so you can buy your clothes," he said while cutting his steak.

I swallowed the lump building up in my throat because of the surrounding nervousness. He is so calm that it is scaring me for some reason.

"You don't need to. I can just take my things from my aunt's."

He stopped eating and put his hands together before resting his chin on both of his hands.

"Well, I don't want my car to go to that kind of place, and would you need some clothes, or do you want to be naked around me?" He suddenly smirked, which made my heart race even more.

I didn't say anything anymore.

"That's what I thought," he said before continuing to eat.

After dinner, I lay on my bed as I kept on looking at the clock. I need to keep track of the time and make a run from it if I want to live.

"You can do this, Chloe." I said to myself to motivate myself.

My heart is racing as I wait for the clock to strike twelve midnight, and it is already eleven-fifty. It is only ten more minutes, but it feels like an hour to wait.

The whole place is so quiet that it is starting to make me overthink that I am deaf already, but I also know that it is a good sign that everyone is already sleeping. That is my chance to escape this place.

I took out a deep breath as soon as the clock struck twelve before standing up from bed and making my way to the door. My ears listen to any noise that I would be making or if some people are still awake, but it is so quiet that I can feel my heart beating as I close the door behind me.

"This is my chance." I whispered before walking.

I make sure that I won't make any noise as I try to tiptoe my way to the staircase, but it is just too far from my room. This place is really huge, and I knew that it would take me some time before I could reach it.

On my way to the staircase, I saw Damian leaving his room, which made me run to my room because he seemed to see me.

"Why the fvck is he still awake?" I made my way to my bed and made sure to turn the light off before that.

I pretended to sleep, thinking that he would come check on me, and I was not wrong.

Footsteps can be heard from the outside and I can tell that it is coming near my bedroom door. It flew open before hearing the footsteps coming closer to me.

"Are you awake, kitten?" He asked, and I felt him sitting on the bed.

I didn't move and just kept my eyes shut.

I don't know how many minutes he stared at me, but it feels like forever before he leaves my room.

When I heard that he was walking away, I sat down and caught my breath. I don't know why, but it seems like I forgot to breathe while he was nearby, and I just hope that he didn't notice that I was only pretending.

"I really need to make a move," I whispered before walking my way to the door.

There was a hesitation before I moved my ears close to the door to listen to the people outside, but it seemed like there was no one outside who gave me a go signal to go outside the room.

I didn't tiptoe this time but also made sure that I was not making noises. Getting caught is the last thing I want right now.

Damian is a very rich guy, and it seems like he is a very important person in our society, so I was already expecting that there would still be guards at that time. I was not wrong when I was near the door, since I saw them at the big windows. They are busy looking around, and I can see that they are communicating with each other with what seems to be like earphones.

How can I get through them?

They are not going to move out of the doorway unless Damian asks them to go to him or if he is in danger. I need to find a way to make them think that Damian is in trouble.

Sorry, Damian, but I need to get out of here.

I went straight to the kitchen before starting to let the gas loose after looking around if there was someone around, since I didn't want anyone getting hurt before turning the microwave with a fork inside. Ten seconds is all I need to get out of there and hide.

The explosion might make a scene and wake everyone up, making them alarmed of what is happening, but I don't care. I need to get a way.

"What is that?!" I heard one of the guards exclaim about the explosion.

As soon as the kitchen exploded, I could hear the guards running towards it. I am just lucky that this place is too huge for it to explode completely with what I did.

I went out of the mansion as soon as they were out of sight and I didn't look behind. All I am thinking right now is that I can get out of the place. I can be safe now.

There was a smile of success on my lips as I felt like I was getting a bit far from the mansion, but got shocked by the alarm going off. I can also hear dogs barking.

Are they going to hunt me down?

Are they serious?

I kept on running, but then I heard some people close to me, so I went to the woods to hide. They are so fast, which makes them almost not like humans, but what do I expect? They are the guards of a rich man.

They went to the woods, so I immediately ran faster before running under a big rock that has a small space underneath. It is not a safe place to hide, but I am hoping that they will not find me with their dogs. I don't want to go back there. That man is scaring me.

"Please, don't find me." I pray in a whisper.

It seemed like hours went by, but no one had found me yet. Well, I heard dogs barking a few hours ago, but they didn't seem to come closer to me. I think it is safe for me to come out. The sun was almost rising, so they must have stopped looking for me.

When I got out of the rock, I was surprised when I saw a man sitting on top of it.

"Surprised?" he asked.
