Sold to The King

Chapter 3

Antonio's POV 

I was still in my office when she got removed from it. She was highly interesting... and someone who is going to cause a lot of problems. I looked over to Maurice who has the look of, "I'm not amused" plastered on his face. I chuckled and walked over to my desk and sat down. 

"Why... are you doing this?" He asked turning his body to face me. 

"I just.... her interesting. Well first I was not going to actually go through with her.... until I dug a little deeper into her background."

"Explain," he said sitting down in one of the chairs with her leg placed over the other. 

"An over achiever girl, putting herself through college, work, and being able to keep up with her studies. Even though her father is in charge of one of my companies and he tried to steal from me because of the new woman that is on his hip right now. Quite an interesting background don't you think?" 

"Interesting yes.... following along as to why you bought her...no." 

I turned my desk chair around and looked toward the window to still see the sun setting from the day. 

"Why did I take her? I ask myself that each time ever since I said the words I would take her into my care."

"Still doesn't add up to why you bought her sir."

"I figured I felt sorry for her."

"Due to-"

"Yes."

"Then-"

"Yes." I turned to face him and help up my authoritive expression. "Keep her in school... make sure she finishes. However, I know she is going to escape this house tonight."

"How are you sure about that?" 

"A fiesty girl... with a fiesty attitude and does not take what has happened today lightly. I would only figure that she would run as quickly as possible." 

"Set up a security team?" 

"Make sure she doesn't get out of here."

Maurice looked at me and with a small nod of the head, he whispered into his watch and then left my office. I walked over to the window and seen the little fiesty flower walking through the garden. 

"Interesting... she is already starting.... her move. Well... little one... let's see how far you go?"

Amelia's POV 

I had gotten the memo from the girl Silvia that I was to run around completing task from 'his majesty' himself. I was to go to his side and basically pay attention and be with him as if I were his assistant. This was the most disgusting thing ever. What did I look like? Being this man's assistant like I didn't know how to run my own life. Now I got to basically follow his and keep track with his. Yeah, I'll be leaving when the time is right. 

I know I said that I would get the hell out of here by tonight, but I need to find out how to get the hell out of here. According to the intel that I gathered, there are guards everywhere. Some are near the SUV's with their assault rifles, Guards are walking all around outside and there is some in the house, standing by like nothing is going on. Just standing there like statues. So I thought I would head to the garden to see if something was there that I could find. 

I gently let my finger slie across the flower petals. They were soft and a little wet. I think they were recently watered before we got here. Flowers were a beautiful sight to look at and with the scrubs shaped in different things, even in the garden was something interesting. The house was large but the arch in the garden that headed toward the pool was more interesting to me. I headed over to the pool and took off my shoes. I dipped my feet in and noticed there were no guards around in the garden. Not a single one. That was weird. I think I would have to look further into that. 

"Hey you!" Someone shouted in my direction. I turned to the voice and it was the man handler himself. He glared over to me and I turned my head away from him. I refuse to talk to the people here... No manners in this damn place. Well the only manners there are is the one for the king of the castle himself. 

As I continued to kick my feet in the water, I felt a strong arm grab me and pull me up from the ground itself. My wet feet landed on the floor and I slapped him across the face. He slowly turned to look at me with an evil glare and then released my arm. 

"Didn't you hear me calling you?" He questioned me with slight anger. 

"Yeah, mister man handler. I actually did. Did I want to answer you... no I did not." 

"You seriously need to get it together. The master wants to see you tonight. You are to-"

"Go to my room and ignore him. Look here, he can buy y'all but not me. I am not a slave for him to boss around and I am not one to calmly follow orders from a prick like him. And you mister man handler... Stop grabbing me like I am some rag doll! You are seriously causing bruising to my body!" I screamed showing the discoloration in my arms that formed hand prints. 

"Do you have anything to say for yourself? Is this how you were taught to treat f*****g women?"

"When a little girl wants to be f*****g bratty then it is my job to fix it. I am only warning you once...fix your attitude. Now, the master wants to see you. Lets go." 

"And if I refuse?" I said crossing my arms over my chest and staring at him with one eye brow raised and my lips scrunched up. In a swift movement, I was now thrown over his shoulder and being carried back to the mansion. I kicked and screamed with all of my might but of course nothing worked with this man. 

I huffed and puffed and allowed him to carry me. Giving up is something I don't do but in this case, there was no winning against this dude right here. I was carried through the house having the maids secretly conversating amongst themselves. I looked at them and one just glared at me. 

"You got a f*****g problem?" I asked her and she just continued to glare and then I was out of her sight. I huffed and felt my blood beginning to boil. Being watched, was something I did not take kindly. 

We reached a room, cream wooden door with lions carved into it. Three knocks went to the door and then the door opened. I was dropped on the green, fluffy rug. Even though the rug softened the blow to my ass a little bit, I did still feel the sting to my butt. 

I looked up to see his majesty dressed in a silk pajama suit with his the buttoned up shirt, unbottoned and his chest all out. Now looking at that man from before, bruh he did not look this muscular behind clothes. But heaven almighty this man was BUFF! I mean he had the abs, the pecks, his arms were a little bit filled with muscle all in it. I could drip f*****g honey on that man and it would run down his body like it was water running down f*****g stairs. 

I continued to stare and haven't even realized this man was clearly talking to me the entire time. Then, mister man handler tapped me on my shoulder and pointed to the face of, 'his majesty.' I took a deep breathe and then looked at his face. 

"Are you even listening?" He questioned, now sitting on the edge of his bed. 

"Quite honestly.... no I was not. I was paying attention to something-"

"Like my body. Your eyes really do... show all." 

"Hmph...." I crossed my arms and looked away then felt a hand hit the back of my head.

"Yo! Like.... Ugh. Can you please tell the man handler here to stop f*****g hitting me? Like seriously, this is f*****g abuse!"

"You mean Maurice? He is truly harmless." 

"Harmless? Are you f*****g blind? Look what he is doing to my f*****g body and you are calmly just allowing it to f*****g happen. Haven't your mother taught you how to treat women?!" 

I looked at his eyes. They were pained filled by this time. He tried to hide it with that suprised look on his face but in the end, he was right. The eyes tell it all. I looked down then looked up at him as he started to speak. 

"In any case... I will send you to the doctor to be treated-"

"That is not necessary. I'll be fine. I don't take to... being f*****g grabbed and thrown, and being hit on like a f*****g punching bag. And it's not like I can repay the favor because this dude don't feel pain apparently. What he built like a f*****g brick or something?" 

"No actually he is not. However, he is trying to get your attention so you can get out of my bedroom and go to yours and make sure tomorrow is... to be handled with."

"What do you mean? Tomorrow to be handled with."

"Well... when I was able to locate you, I found out a lot about you." 

"Stalker?"

"Information gatherer actually. I don't just let anyone into my... space. What kind of person would I be?"

"Some information is wrong to believe in. Which is why they call it-"

"Fake information. However, the information I gather is nothing but the truth and anything but the truth."

"How are you very sure of that. I could be lying and you wouldn't even be able to tell it."

"However, trusting the body language, the tone of voice and everything of one such character holds all the cards to enable the truth. However, who is to say that I am actually believing the words spoken from you."

"I have told three lies since I have be in this house."

"False. And I shall not tell you how I know that is far from the truth."

"Such a statement coming from someone who tries to gain the truth and nothing but the truth but doesn't know when he is being lied to himself."

We were now locked in a heated debation. Our eyes locked together, my glare attached to his and the attitude in our voices are evenly matched. It was the competition to see another... break from the information that is being spoken on. It was interesting to see someone such as himself keep up with me with no problem. 

I smirked and he chuckled at me. 

"I have done enough research in order to gather the information that I have gathered." He said placing his hands on his lap. 

"Research huh... and what kind of research sir. Anything of a human body language can be false. Anything of human nature can also be false. So your research-"

"Is actually set in the being I am currently looking at. I am aware of human nature to be false.  I am aware people can betray others, and I am especially aware that one can lie and be deceiftul."

"Interesting... I want to see if you truly... truly do know when one is lying to you." I said with a slight smirk on my face. This was going to be amazing to calmly escape from here. Put up a front, find a way out and just be a watcher. Nothing would be sweeter to see the look on this mans face, seeing him how I got away from him. 

"Interesting." He said as he rose from the bed and started to pace around me. He then grabbed a chair and sat before me and crossed his leg over the other. 

"Well... let's get down to business shall we. Now I am aware you are a college student, a senior to be more procise. I am aware you were putting yourself through college through scholarships and everything in the book... including your job."

"Wow... you have done your research."

"I told you I have. Which comes down to the next part. As from this day forward... you are no longer working at-"

"Excuse me-"

"And from now on you will-"

"Hold up!" I screamed getting up from the floor. "I know damn well... you did not get me unemployed. Who the hell do you think you are?"

"Your Master actually. Now before you jump to conclusions, allow me to finish." He said with slight anger. I glared at him and took a deep breathe. 

"Your job... now is to be my assistant for work. I need one to conduct a lot of meetings and keep things in order for when I am forgetful. The last one I hired... lets just say it did not work out. I will pay you over $2500 ever two weeks." 

I choked on my spit and immediately started coughing, trying to catch my breathe. I gasped and felt a hand slam on my back which made me tense a lot. I looked over to Maurice who looked at me with an soft expression. First I seen ever since we met. 

"You are seriously heavy handed. Thank you though. Now back to you... sir... $2500... are you serious?" 

I looked at him like he was insane but he just had that look on his face. That same, calm expression as if nothing phased him. He looked at me calmly and cleared his throat so that he may speak again. I scratched my head and then nodded my head, allowing him to speak once again. 

"Now, I have looked into your expenses and found out there is a lot of things that you require while dealing with your school work. Of course, I shall not be fair when it comes to you working from home. It is a job and you need to learn who to multi task frequently while working with me. However, if something goes wrong, I will say consequences will be had." 

"Cosequences such as?"

"Do something wrong and you will find out." 

"And what exactly do I have to do?"

"You will find out."

"Fine... I will travel to school and map out the bus sche-"

"No." He said raising his hand and then lowering it back down to be placed on his lap. 

"No?" 

"No. You will take the SUV and have a guard with you all times when you leave this mansion. I shall not-"

"Hell no. I will not be followed nor will I be watched by people I am unaware of. I walk on campus and I am perfectly safe. I can calmly be-"

"I said no! My law and rule is a must. There is no going around it. Look, I am doing this so that your work and my work does not collide with each other. Now if you would want me to take you out of school so it can-"

"I'll take the car... but none of your guards are to come with me into ANY of the buildings-"

"They will-"

"NOT be with me! Look you may not understand it or care for it but I have my reasons. I do not like to be watched. So, I don't want them there. They are to take me to the damn school and to the work place and back to this f*****g house. That is it! Do I make myself clear?"

"You dare challenge me and my law." He said standing and walking over to me. He looked at me with an irritated face and I glared at him angrily. 

"I will challenge you each time I am in this house and do not agree with something you are doing. I am a human and you will understand that we come from different worlds with different issues. I will be respected as a person. I don't give a fuck... who you are." 

He took several deep breathes and continued to glare at me. We were locked in eye contact yet again. His death stare versus mine. He didn't even break a sweat. I wasn't backing down neither. 

We both looked when Maurice was clearing his throat and then both looked back at each other. I lifted up my head and backed away as he went to sit bak in his chair. 

"Fine... I will arrange for... such..."

"Fine."

"Now that you are dealt with... you are dismissed. Maurice if you please."
