Betrayed By My Parents; SOLD TO THE MAFIA

Another Prisoner

Edgar frowned his face as the pain struck him again, he could feel the little one gaze on him and for a moment, he felt reluctant.

Knowing how much she loathes him,, he never expect her to care as much as to ask if he is okay. No one has ever asked him that, basically because he has never showed his pain in front of them.

But seeing how her brown eyes flickered as it suck in concern and worry for his wound.

He does not know what it is, but he likes the look of worry in her eyes and it make him want to get hurt once more just so he can see her get less afraid of him.

Her spiteful gaze and fearful look whenever she set her eyes on him makes him angry each time and it seems there is something that can change that for her

Daphne did not realize when she has fallen asleep after being forced to watch Edgar pull out a bullet from his arm.

She look down to see Juliet standing with her food which she put down on the table but her facial expression look different than every other day.

She usually scoff at her after dropping her meals but today she seem cautious and even murmured a 'eat well' sound before walking out of the door.

Daphne stare at the delicious plate of rice hungrily and a little exhausted before raising her head to find some water when she noticed the door isn't fully closed and scrambled to her feet.

She peep her head out through the door and when she is sure the coast was clear, she step out quickly and discreetly watching the way very carefully to see if anyone is around.

But it looks like Edgar must have asked the guards watching her door to leave, it is all empty and like an opportunity given by the heaven, she took it and rush to find an exile.

She comes to a door which seem to lead outside, but when she pull the knob, it is just another room although dark.

“Who is there?”

Daphne shook at the hoarse and frightened voice and turned back instantly but as she trail her hands back on the wall, she hit the switch and the light come up.

“Ugh” the voice come up again in agony and Daphne stretch her eyes to see who it is and sees the young man cower in a corner of the small room.

“Who are you?” she asked moving closer and look carefully to see if he is not armed.

Looking at him, it doesn’t seem that he is one of the guys that she has seen in the house.

“You are not one of them” he also recognize and sit back down.

Daphne look briefly at the room and it is quite firth, and her first guess is that he could be a captive like herself.

“Did Edgar imprison you too?” she asked and stopped a bit closer to him

“My name is Daphne, I was also forcefully brought here” she said seeing he is being uptight.

Hearing her words, his face soften a bit and his pale eyes look at her in a curious manner, perhaps he is surprised to see her well fed.

Daphne could not help but wonder if his parents has also used him to pay off some debt they owe to Edgar.

“The name is Tim” he said his voice coming out weakly, he must have been starved unlike her who has three meals every day.

If this is how he treats his captives, then the only reason she has been treated well this far is because he want her to bear him a child.

That means, if she do not fulfil this purpose, she might end up like Tim, locked up in a dark room and tortured with hunger.

“How long have you been here?” Daphne asked with concern.

Tim stare at the unfamiliar girl and try to figure what her mission is for coming to him when no one has ever step a foot inside this room in two years.

She isn’t dressed like a maid, not that he has seen one since the day he has been locked up here.

Neither does she seem like any of Edgar’s minion, she seem to look at him with such genuine pair of beautiful eyes fill with worry.

“Long enough that I’ve forgotten what day it is” he reply and lick his dry lips.

Daphne want to ask what he has done to suffer like this but no one is supposed to be punished this way for any reason.

“Why did you not try to escape all these while?” she asked her eyes searching quite into his.

“Is that what you are trying to do?” he asked bewildered at the young girl’s courage.

She certainly have no idea how cruel and devious Edgar is to have attempt such.

“I will beg you not to, he is a cruel bloodthirsty man” Tim said fearful to even mention his name.

Daphne could hear the fright in his voice and face as he talks about Edgar and her feeble heart trembles at the thought of the horrible things he could actually do to her.

“If I can get my hands on a phone and make a call, we can be saved” she said hastily and get up.

Tim look at how hopeful she is and breaks into laughter, it is certain that she has no idea what world she has been brought into. Her innocence make him feel a little softness for her and he reach out to touch but Samantha burst in at that time with two others behind her

Daphne jumped in fear and fall back into Tim's arms then turned to look at Sam glaring at her with a long whip in her hand.

“Look what we have here” she said with a smirk and Daphne scurry back in fright.

"Two captive have a pleasurable time together" she mocked

“Edgar would be furious little one” she added smirking

Daphne open her lips wanting to defend herself against her ridiculous sarcastic remark but she halt in agape when she sees Edgar walk into the room.

His eyes set on her for a second and quickly flash to Tim whose face darken, like he already know what is coming

Tim quickly get up on his feet and Daphne notice then that there is a chain around his waist holding him down like an animal.

“What are you doing here?” he asked his eyes still on Tim and Daphne feel her throat become dry in an instance.

“I…was…” she try to think of something that will save her from getting punished but could not.

Henry also come in and see the situation, he seem to turn pale and quickly move to Tim bringing him back down.

“Wait” Edgar stop him and move closer.

He grab Tim by the throat and Daphne watch him wriggle hard to be free, but Edgar’s face is stoned and he slam his face to the marbled floor.

Daphne scream at the act and cover her mouth seeing Tim bleeding, Edgar repeat the action again and she whimper loudly moving back in great panic.

“Please stop” she pleaded but her words are barely heard.

Even though it isn’t audible, he can hear it from her cries. Seeing he has passed the message across, Edgar stop and drop Tim to the floor.

He turn back to Daphne who is still astound and grab her onto his shoulders, ignoring her kicks and throws.

He bring her back to the room where the doctor is already waiting for them and Daphne at his sight panics more.

But she can not fight Edgar’s frenzy at all this time as she could barely struggle as he lie her on the bed although with a gentler throw on it.

“Give it to me” he breathed hotly to the doctor.

Daphne’s eyes shot out in horror as the syringe is bring up, the fear of what it is that is about to be inject into her body terrifies her mind and she scream out.

But it did not last long as Edgar stab her without care and it went sharply in and out leaving her still crying out tearfully.
