What Happens When You Have Nothing Left

Chapter 3: Meeting Him

My mystery buyer pulls me by the hand to his limo waiting outside, opens the door so we can slide in. Once inside the limo, he grabs a cell phone out of his pocket and begins scrolling. Is this normal? Maybe it is... I fidget with my hands nervously, sneaking glances at him under my lashes. He is defiantly handsome, quiet but handsome.

After an hour on the road, I can no longer handle the silence as I gaze at this unknown man, his phone still in his hand. Ok Rachel, time to break the ice!! I finally swallow my nerves and address him as confidently as I can.

“Uhm…. Hello Sir, I was wondering if we could maybe talk for a moment and get to know each other?” I asked tightly holding my hands together giving him my best smile.

He gazes at me with a smirk, fully inspecting my body.

“Yes…Sir seems to be an excellent thing for you to call me, this should be all that you need to know. Call me Sir, your job is to produce me a male heir that is all you are here for. The only time you will see me, is while you are trying to conceive my heir. Fail to do so, and I will make sure you immediately become a black. Do you understand me?” Sir said aggressively.

The tone of his voice has me trembling, I clench my thighs together subtly hopefully to stop him from ever being able to lay a hand on me. I know it is my responsibility to produce him an heir, but so much for the hopes and dream of a happy future and loving partner…

“Yes Sir” I answered shyly, looking down at my feet unable to voice anything else. I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with disappointment. Maybe it won't be so bad? I can't give up hope just yet.

We finally pull up to a house while it is very dark outside, the house is bigger than 5 of the cabins I was staying in all combined!! It was more than obvious that this man had a lot of money!! We slowly approach the front door, as I realize a male servant, probably mid-twenties, opens the door. His eyes meet mine before he quickly looks down, avoiding my gaze. I can not help but blush, his eyes are a beautiful blue with his short brown hair. His body looks very well built under his uniform. Being 5’4 myself, everyone seems so much taller than me, but I’m assuming he is at least 6 feet tall.

I quietly follow Sir inside his home before he finally turns around to look at me in the lit environment.

As I already noticed, he is wearing a dark suit. Looking up a bit higher, I could see his dark, almost black eyes with matching black hair. If I thought the handsome servant was tall, I was sadly mistaken as Sir is clearly at least 6’6!! However, unlike the warm welcoming eyes of the servant the look in Sir’s eyes terrifies me. He catches me staring and quickly scowls at me.

“How dare you deem yourself worthy of making eye contact with me?” He growled angrily at me.

I quickly avert my gaze towards the perfectly polished floor, wondering how I’ve already managed to make a mess of things. I can hear the servant shut the door behind us, but I do not hear him walk away.

“I do not have the time, or want to waste the effort explaining anything to you, so the boy will explain to you what is going to happen.” Sir instructs firmly and with that final statement, he quickly walks away retreating down a long hallway, slamming the door as he disappeared into a room. I stand there dazed and confused. What was to happen now?

I hear a throat clear behind me as I hazard a glance at the servant. To my surprise, he has a soft welcoming smile on his lips.

“Welcome to the manor Miss!! My name is Lucas, and I will be the one to give you all that information he so kindly did not provide you” Lucas explained rolling his eyes.

I bite my lip trying to hide a small chuckle, but it doesn’t quite mask the sound. When I look at Lucas, he has a twinkle in his eyes. At least Lucas seemed kind.

“Now you will quickly realize, you are the only female here. The Master lost his wife due to Vila, as well as his young daughter. This is why the Master is adamant about having a son, and not developing any attachment to you” Lucas explained.

I look down, disappointed, but Lucas continues talking smoothly “I know, it’s probably not what you were hoping for, however life here is not too bad and if you do manage to produce a male, you can look forward to living here permanently,” Lucas said with another handsome smile.

I looked up excited, looking towards Lucas my eyes full of surprise. Lucas caught on to my shock and continued “Unfortunately, you are the third White the Master has purchased... The other two women both conceived females and were sent back to Haven to become Reds”

My jaw dropped at this admission, absolutely terrified that this could be my future. I couldn't control the s*x of my child!!!

“But that’s out of my control!! I wanted to be the best white I could be!! I can’t control what gender my baby will be…” I said with a shakey voice etched with fear, all that was left was the panic in my eyes. Lucas shook his head sympathetically.

“I know, it is out of your control, but all you can do is hope that Master manages to give you a male... Now on to lighter things! How about a tour of the manor?” Lucas asks excitedly.

Why not? What else do I have to lose? I sighed heavily as I shook my head in agreement for the tour of the place I was unsure of the call home... Talk about pressure!!!
