Her Slave

Pain

Erika's POV

When Tiffany exited the kitchen, I saw glimpse of the edge of her lower back. There's a red stain visible because of her white maid dress but her back was covered with black blazer so I didn't see it clearly.

What was that? Was that a blood?

Blood?? I remember her reaction, she winced a while ago when her back hit the chair. I stood up and I decided to follow her in her room.

I knocked on her door and opened it instantly without her permission, she quickly turned around to face me. She's shocked and she's hiding something based on her reaction.

"What is it Mistress? Do you need anything?" I hate being mistress. f**k that.

"What's on your back?" Her eyes went round. I knew it there's something on her back.

"N-nothing Mistress..."

I walked closer to her but she's stepping backward so I walked fast and turned her body. She already took the blazer off, I saw the dress with huge amount of red stains.

My heart beats faster "Wh-what's this Tiffany?"

She didn't answer but obviously, it's blood.

I pulled the zipper down of her dress, carefully. I turned pale when I saw bruises and deep cuts on her back.

Lashes?

I fumed and my heart was burning with so much anger "Who did this?" I tried to be calm and collected.

"No one Mistress."

"Who did this?!" I growled.

"No one, I'm sorry..." She was crying silently.

My heart melted, I want to kill the person who did this to her. That fucker! I will bury him alive!

Tears escaped from my eyes "Please tell me, what happened?"

Tiffany turned around and hugged me. She buried her face into the crook of my neck. I just held her shoulder and caressed her hair instead of hugging her back because I know, it hurts a lot.

"I hate myself for not protecting you..."

"It's not your fault Mistress."

"You're not my slave or friend Tiffany, I don't want to be your friend," I cooed.

Tiffany just continued crying while sniffling.

"Because I like you... I don't want to be just your friend 'cuz I really like you Tiffany," I confessed. I know that it's kinda fast but I don't want to beat around the bush anymore. Feelings will not be measured by time. I like her but I'm not asking her to marry me. Not at the moment, maybe later sometime.

Tiffany paused and I gently pulled away to face her. She's looking at me in the eyes, searching for something.

"You heard it right, I like you..." Then I held her face like it was fragile and wiped her tears.

"Your wounds need to be treated and cleaned. Even if you don't say it, I will find out who did this to you." Thinking of that sucker made my blood boil.

"Just wait here," I kissed her forehead twice then I left her.

Outside the room, I called Juniel and the latter rushed over me.

"Yes big boss?"

"Call doctor Choi now!" I ordered.

"Okay boss..."

"And gather all members outside, I need to find something!" I gritted my teeth and I'm shaking uncontrollably with my rage.

"Why boss? Is it about your slave?" Juniel asked.

"She's not my slave!" I yelled and she flinched. I think she knows something "Spill it out Juniel, do you know what happened?" I'm really good at sensing things, y'know.

Juniel remained quiet and lowered her head, she's hiding something. I know her very well.

"Tell me, please..." I'm desperate and anguish to know about what happened to Tiffany.

Juniel took a deep breath "I-I know who did t-that to Tiffany. I saw them near at the parking area but I couldn't help her because they're influential. They could kill us both," her voice was trembling.

"Who're the fuckers, Juniel? I will let this pass if you tell me." She didn't help Tiffany, I really want to slap her but I tried to understand her situation too.

"It's... It's the crazy little b***h and her bodyguards." s**t.

Krystal??

"You don't have to say her name, but why did she do this?" I couldn't think of any reason why? Did Krystal know Tiffany before?

"Because she's jealous of Tiffany, the attention you're giving to her," Juniel said.

"She will pay for this," I hands rounded into fists. That's not reasonable, she don't have right to hurt others and not my Tiffany!

"But big boss, she's influential. If you hurt her, there will be war!" I know that.

I need to think other way to give her lesson.

Actually I want to beat the s**t out of Krystal right now. I want to hurt her like what she did to Tiffany but I'm not crazy little b***h. I'm not like her.

"Just call doctor Choi now for Tiffany, I will handle this myself."

I think, I know what exactly to do.
