“Why does she?”…
Sam’s voice trailed off when she saw Edgar’s card in Henry’s hand and she walks away briskly almost hitting her shoulder on the wall next to her but avert it quickly and made her way into the kitchen where Mary is cleaning.
She quickly grab the bottle of whiskey on the table and gulp it down within a second
“Are you okay?” Mary asked and stretched her neck to see if there is any other person around then sighs when she sees no one and took the glass to wash it.
“Why the long face? I heard boss came to your room last night” Mary said giggling and place the glass neatly in the right position to continue working but the continuous long face from Samantha made her turn around
“He bought her clothes” Sam voiced out before she burst with anger and Mary stare at her confused.
“Who?”
“Edgar bought new clothes for that slave” Samantha answered screaming
She was overjoyed last night when she heard him come into her room and even had a passionate time together, she always goes to find him and barely get his attention each time but yesterday was different.
He seem to really want her and even kissed her once that she thought he has finally realized she is the one he truly loves but the scene now seems to be telling her it might be an illusion of hers.
He didn’t return to her room after getting that intimate with her and only send someone to give her a contraceptive pill, she woke up this morning feeling pain all over but didn’t care about that and is satisfied to know he wants her.
“That reminds me, the girl you paid to leave the door opened has been taken to the underground room” Mary said calling her attention and also relieved that she didn’t take on the task herself or she would be the one going through extreme torture right now
“I heard” Sam muttered in response
Even the maid who committed a little mistake is not spared but Edgar won’t do anything to punish Daphne or at least starve her for going to Tim but he is using his personal money to get her clothes.
There is a strict rule and punishment for anyone who accidentally steps into that room without proper permission from Edgar and it’s instant death, her plan was perfect to get rid of that little girl but it still fell through.
“Do you think he might have developed affection for that prisoner?’ Mary questioned seeing the absolute concerned look on her face but Sam shakes her head in disagreement.
“That is not possible, I have been trying to win his affection for four years . there is no way he will like a girl he took captive” she said and rest her hands on her waist thinking.
“Let’s get rid of her ourselves then” Mary told her and Sam listens.
“The boss will be away for the whole day tomorrow and Henry will probably go with him, whatever happens to her before they get back is in our hands”
“But if he comes back and asked?”
“You can play the saviour card then, after all he still thinks you saved his life years ago. He won’t hurt you so easily” Mary assured her and Samantha slowly agrees with the plan.
She just need to get him to give her the title of his wife and she will be satisfied.

After waking up to some food and another new clothes, Daphne cuddles up in bed without nothing to do as always and let her mind wander away
She almost managed to escape last night but failed because of her lack of direction of the house exit door and almost end up in trouble.
She knows she won’t be so lucky next time and strict eyes will be keep on her to ensure she doesn’t leave the room at all leaving her with no way, she might need to make proper plans if she ever wants to get out of here.
As much as she tries not to think about it, Daphne’s mind drift to her wildness when drugged and looked over the other side of the bed and sees herself moaning breathlessly. She grab her shirt tightly on her body and tries to shake the scene out of her head.
It is her first time to get intimate with a man and it’s not a pleasure experience for her, at least she doesn't want to do it under the influence of any drug or person
A heavy knock came on the door threatening to break it down before it was fling opened by Samantha followed by a few others she can’t recognize well.
“Search the room” Samantha ordered to the men who get to work immediately ignoring Daphne’s presence in the room and starts to turn everything upside down.
Daphne stood in one corner wondering what they are trying to find in a room that she stays and calmly cuddles up on the bed letting her eyes following their every move.
“Where did you keep the map?” Samantha yelled at her getting closer but Daphne quickly move away to the other side of the bed and looked at her perplexed.
“Are you pretending to be innocent now? Where did you keep the map you stole?” she yelled yet again and the men searching the room stopped for a while.
“I found it” one of them called and a bright smile appeared on Samantha’s face.
She quickly went over and grabbed the map in his hand then stare at it to be sure it’s the right one.
“She is indeed a spy” the men murmured among themselves and gave her a hostile
Daphne is shocked to see there is a map lying in the same room she has been sleeping for weeks, she has searched everywhere before for a means of escape but couldn’t find anything to help her and then all of a sudden a map appeared.
“What do you have to say for yourself?” Samantha turned to her once again and Daphne immediately deny knowing anything about the map.
“You are still lying” she said and move close to her slapping her hard on the cheek.
Daphne held her face feeling the pain from the slap deep in her body and tears welled up in her eyes, the men also continue to glare and she finally understands what is happening.
“Are these people trying to find fault with her?” she thought and move her hand away to answer Samantha again.
“I have no knowledge of the map and I didn’t steal it” she answered but Samantha only smirked and tries to hit her again but she was fast to bend and avoid her hand.
“You have been pretending to be naive ever since you got here but now you have finally decide to show your true colors, no wonder you are able to find your way easily into the dark room yesterday. You two must have been working together from the beginning” she concoct the lies and Daphne scoff at how ridiculous it sounds but the men with her seem to believe it.
One thing the members hate is a spy and betrayer and now that they have evidence that shows there is one among them, they are not sparing any moment to believe it and melt out punishment to her.
“Are you crazy? How can I work with a prisoner you have kept here for so long when I barely know his name?’ Daphne tries to defend herself but Samantha isn’t ready to listen to that.
“Can you explain how the map came to be in your room then? Someone even saw you mastering it” she said and Mary walked in as the witness.
