I stared at the door right in front of me. The house he was keeping me in was empty. I was the only one in it. It was past 11pm.

All I have to do is just walk out.

No one to stop me.

I took one step then another but stopped right before the door.

Why? Why would he just leave me like this? I'm his slave. Isn't he worried that I'll run away if he leaves me without any chain?

Does that matter? I'm getting another chance!

I turn the door knob but stop.

Where will I go?

No. I have to leave first.

I open the door and run out of the house .

I run all the way to the main gate and freeze.

"Oh hey kitten. Where do you think you're going?"

Darius sat on the bonnet of his matte black Audi. His arms folded with a questioning gaze.

I gulped.

Bu- but didn't he leave??

I wasn't able to answer.

He smirked and stood up, walked to me and held my wrist.

"Were you thinking of running away?" He pulled me closer to him

"N-no..."

He smiled. Letting go of my wrist.

"Good girl." He patted my head. "Now get in the car."

I didn't move and he made his tone more demanding.

"Now."

I went and sat in the car and he followed.

I didn't speak at all. I don't even know if I'm suppose to.

"You're an awfully obedient slave."

"...."

"Aren't you going to ask where I am taking you?"

"Do I have the right?"

I saw the corners of his lips curl up.

"As my slave you have more rights than you think, you can do what you want. Just that."

He slid his free hand on my thigh

"You just can't disobey my orders." He spared me a devilish glance before returning his eyes to the road again.

"Do you think I won't run away if you keep me this loose? You didn't order me to stay put neither did you take any measurements for it."

He chuckled

The hell... Why is he so relaxed?

It's sort of ... Scary...

"I don't care if you run away."

"What?"

"Even if you do run away where will you go? I know you don't have any place nor the qualifications to support yourself."

"...." I bit my lower lip ," I CAN support myself one way or another."

"No point in running away. You see kitty. You weren't sold in a regular auction. The auctioneers take special care of their items. As soon as you were sold. Your whole data as a person was erased. For now you don't exist and if you try to run away 'they' will bring you back to me or..."

Or what? There is still something left even after all this? What the f! I no longer exist!

Wow.

"Or what?!" I spat at him.

"If I don't want you back or take no notice of your escape. They'll simply kill you."

Snap! Something buzzed in my head.

....

I don't usually cry, even in the worst situations but this is my limit...

I have no future. No life... No, nothing.

Darius pulled over the car in front of a huge building when I was on the verge of tears.

Unbuckling his seat belt he moved in closer and pulled me in. My head next to his chest.

"Don't worry kitten. You're mine. I won't let you get hurt."

He kissed my head gently and my tears stopped even before they came out.
