HIS OBSESSION

Chapter Seven

A large mansion came into view and I couldn’t help but almost pass out, due to intense amount of shock. I stared at the mansion and didn’t know what to think of.

‘Did he say... home?’ I thought, my mind almost going blank. ‘This is just like those fictional books. It’s all coming to reality.’ I was shocked but then I quickly regained my composure and looked at Damon who just smirked and walked into the Mansion. His servant and guards signaled for me to follow him and I glared at them.

However, I had no choice but to do as they said, as it was me against lots of men with guns, and fists. I walked slowly up the stairs, into the cream colored mansion.

“Stop dawdling and walk faster.” Damon ordered. I did as I was told since I already knew that stubbornness would take me nowhere, as I’m now in the enemy’s territory. I caught up with him and we quickly approached a large white door with nice floral design and a pair of small lion heads on the door. The door opened not too long after and the maid who opened it back.

“Welcome back, Don.” She greeted. Damon didn’t even spare her a glance and just walked in. This disgusted me but I wasn’t surprised. As a waitress... ex waitress, I knew what it’s like to be ignored sometimes. I nodded at the woman but upon taking a close look at her back, I spotted a few red marks and this made me gasp.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Damon was responsible for it and I felt even more angered, looking at him. I sympathized inside with the woman and walked forward. Damon stopped in the middle of the Mansion and spread his arms.

“This is my Mansion, darling. And everything inside this big building of mine is extremely expensive, so if you break something, I’ll break a bone in your body.” He said, expressionlessly. I looked around at the furniture and exquisite designs of the interior and I gulped hard.

‘These sure are expensive. Not even my salary for five years can buy some of the furniture here.’ I thought. The railings of the staircase looked like it was made with mahogany, not like I’m good in identifying wood. Straight ahead, I spotted a large swimming pool and a garden well decorated with varieties of flowers. There was a fire place by my far right and three chairs in front of it. In the middle of the chairs, was a table that had a chess board on it, with the pieces arranged, ready to play. I looked by my left and spotted a long dining table with candleholders and cutlery on them. It looked beautiful, not to mention the chandelier right above my head. The smell of the place was... divine.

While I was still amazed by what I was seeing before me, I heard Damon’s phone ring. He took the phone out of his pocket and checked it before instructing the guard nearby.

“Take her to her room and lock her up. Get another guard with you and stay right at her doorstep. Don’t leave your post.” Damon ordered. I took out my phone and wanted to call my grandmother when Damon spotted me. He snatched the phone.

“You won’t be needing this anymore.” He blurted as he threw it to the guard to get rid of it. I was surprised and struggled to get it off his hands.

“But that’s my grandma. I need to call my grandmother, you can’t deny me that.” I argued but he grabbed my hand firmly, making me hiss in pain.

“I make the rules here, b***h. Forget about your grandmother.” He snapped and pushed me away. “If you try to escape from this place, the next thing you’ll be seeing is your grandmother’s corpse. I’ll call you when I need you.” He threatened. I shed tears but he didn’t show any signs of sympathy. He gave the guard more instructions and the latter nodded and signaled for another guard to follow him before grabbing my hand and pulling me up the stairs, despite how much I struggled.

“Asshole! Let me go! I’m not your prisoner. Please let me go...” I begged and struggled but the guards didn’t let me off. I looked at Damon, but he just kept a serious face and left the scene.

The guards took me to a room and pushed me inside before locking the door from the outside. I fell on the soft wool rug as a result of the push, but I quickly rose up and rushed to the door.

“Let me out, please. I’m begging you!” I begged and begged but I wasn’t getting any response from the cold guards outside the door. I kept banging on the door but they didn’t answer me. At this point, my voice was hoarse, and my throat dry. I put my back against the door and slid down, as I broke down in tears.

I kept crying and crying until nightfall. I felt so terrible and I really regretted my actions.

****************

The rays of the sun came into the room and shone on my face. The warmth woke me and my eyes flustered open. I was lying on the soft bed, hugging the large pillow. I got up and stretchstrands I gave a wide yawn. I walked to the bathroom and took a toothbrush there to brush my teeth.

It’s been two days in this prison that resembles a princess’s room, there’s nothing delightful about it and I can almost feel myself going insane. I had no phones, no gadgets, no one to talk to, nothing. The guards will occasionally open the door to serve me dishes, most of which I had no appetite to eat, before locking it again.

My eyes were already swollen, as a result of too much tears. I didn’t want to try anything as stupid as escaping, with the fear that my grandmother would be killed. However, staying in this mansion-like prison any longer will definitely make me lose it.

I sat on my bed again, and the only sounds that could be heard were the sounds of nature. The chirping of the birds and the flustering of the trees, due to the wind. It was really lonely.

Suddenly, my body jolted when I heard the door open. A maid walked into the room and seeing her face, I recognized her as the person who opened the door for us. She wore an expressionless look but I could almost tell the sorrow she was feeling. I noticed she didn’t have any tray in her hands. Instead, she held an black lingerie on an hanger.

“Good morning miss. Master Damon wants to see you in his quarters. He also wants you to wear this before coming.” She relayed Damon’s massage and pointed at the very revealing Lingerie.
