LUNA’S POV


    “I…. Want, Her” I heard him said and looked up and I almost froze.


    His fingers were pointed at me!


    “We will arrange her for you” Mia said and quickly rush towards me. She urged me to stand up but I remained still.


    “Get up!” Ynda ordered.


    “I don’t want to!” I snapped


    The man walked out immediately without a word or a nce. Four of his guards walked after him and one remained Inside the room.


    “Get up now!” Ynda said again.


    I tried to act strong but the feeling of fear takes the best part of me. My family…


    My family….


    That was the only thing I could hear, I’ll have to learn to adapt life. To live without my family, without my father.. Maybe


    Just maybe, for the rest of my life.


    I hate you Cora! I hate you so much. What if this man ends up killing me? What if…


    “Luna!” Mia tapped me.


    I slowly stood up and hold my bag still,  tears was rushing down my eyes.


    I have been sold…. Someone bought me…, As his property.


    ___


    Mia led me down the stairs after they’ve arranged me. They let me have a warm good bath and they gave me a beautiful dress to put on.


    The man was sitting down, and his guards were behind him. He looked up the stairs when Ynda announced my presence.


    “Get her” He told the guards and then stood up and walked away.


    One of the guards came up to me and held my hand then led me outside of Ynda’s house, He helped me sit in a car. Which was different from the one the man entered.


    The car started and then slowly drove out of Ynda’spound. Tears filled in my eyes as I know this is where I’ve to start my new life.


    I’ve been sold out!!


    The car drove into apound and parked in a garage along with other cars. The masked man got down immediately as one of his guards opened the door, and starts walking inside the house.


    I got down myself and just stared around. The house is very beautiful. But I don’t have that time to admire it. What am I supposed to do standing there?


    The guards all already left, probably to Stand in there position. I wanted for some seconds to see if anyone will talk to me on what to do but know on even spared me a nce.


    I decided to walked to the door the masked man had walked into earlier. I tried opening the ss door but since I’m not used to it, I don’t know how. I’m even scared to touch anything , I feel if I touch anything I’ll end up staining them.


    Argh! I’m just behaving like a vige girl. I tried opening the door again but still I don’t know how.


    My grab was still on the door hand when an rm beep and the door opened relieving Mr. Mask. He had changed his wears and was now on back top and in ck trousers. He was still on mask and he’s looking more handsome.


    Seeing him with mask and feeling him this handsome, how then will he be without mask? And who is he? He seems to be a popr person which, unfortunately I don’t know.


    Why did he left me standing here? He didn’t even spare me a gaze. He just walked straight to ck car different from the one we came in with.


    He’s quite rich! I watched the car drove out of thepound and again I turned to face the door. How again did he open this?


    Suddenly another rm beeped and this time it was a youngdy, probably a maid. “This way” she muttered to me only and I opened.


    I felt relieved, I can’t tell how long is stand outside that door if she hadn’te to my aid.


    I stared round the house and covered my mouth to avoid myself from eximing. This is the most beautiful house I’d see in my life!


    The sitting room was looking more beautiful and was decorated with tons of pictures of the masked guy. Wow! He sure has a great taste.


    I continued following the girl and she led me into a room , immediately I stepped in, the door shut lock and the maid disappeared from my sight.


    “Wait!” I yelled and start hitting the door. Twisting the handle to see if I can open it.


    Geez! Why can’t someone just say something to me? How am I going to enjoy this ce? Well. I’m not here to enjoy, I’m probably here to meet my doom! What if that masked guy is a killer?


    What if he just went out to call his friends that he had just bought a girl they should kill and y with?


    Cold shivers runs down my skin and i couldn’t help but sat down to cry. It’s better to be with my dad even if Cora maltreats me, that is much more better than staying here.


    Who knows my fate? Who knows if this is going to be myst day?


    Many more questions with no answers kept running through my veins. Oh Cora! I just can’t hate you less.


    The door opened again and fivedies dressed in the same uniform walked in. They both stood before me and bowed which actually surprised me.


    “I’ll fix your bath water” one of them said and quickly went to the bathroom.


    “I’ll bring out your wears” Another said.


    “I’ll bring out your flip flops.”


    “I’ll handle your skin” another said.


    I felt weak immediately, what on Earth is happening? Am I dreaming or its just my imagination?.


    The room door opened again and an older woman walked In. All thedies lefy wjat they’re doing immediately and bowed to her.


    “Okay girls. Non of you will want to get on boss’s nerve, so let’s just get this done once” The older woman said and pped her hands.


    “Yes ma’am” The girls yelled I response and quickly went back to continue what they’re doing.


    I stared gumbershoked.


    The older woman turned to me and stared for a while, then finally smiled.


    “I’m Ms. Elsa, let’s get you ready” She said and grab my hands leading me to the bathroom.


    “Ready for what?” I finally asked when i found my voice.


    “You won’t want to get on his bad side on your first day here. Just be obedient” She said.


    I stared at her then nodded.


    “Take your clothes off” She announced.


    “What? Am I supposed to take off my clothes….. while you’re here?” I muttered.


    “Don’t act like a kid and do what I say!” The woman said.


    I shaked my head negatively. “I can’t even pull off my wears with my mum standing and staring at me like you are doing now”


    “Your mum don’t own you down, little miss. And I’d advice you to be the best good girl you can , else boss won’t hesitate to fed your flesh to the fishes” she said.


    That word alone “find your flesh to the fishes” got me extremely scared.


    In as much as I hate this world , I still don’t want to die. Not yet. Not before my father. But I’d like to meet my mother too.


    I slowly pulled off my clothes and Ms. Elsa helped me hang them on a tub.


    “Get into the bathing te” She said.


    I nodded and obeyed. Be the best good girl you can she said!…. I sure will obey, I love my life.


    “Come on girls! Get me the new soap!” Ms. Elsa yelled.N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    “Right away ma’am” A voice replied her.


    Some secondster, a girl walked in and handed her the soap.


    I watched her as she used the soap on the bathing foam and I just can’t resist the urge to talk.


    “What are you doing?” I asked.


    “Trying to bath you as demanded” She napped.


    “What! I’m not a baby”..


    Everything here is just as confusing as f*ck. At the same time very weird! Bath me she said? I’m 18 for Christ sake.


    “You’d pray you are” the woman responded and immediately start bathing me.


    _


    I walked into the bedroom with towels wrapped beneath my breast. I felt so shy that I wished the ground will open and swallow me.


    Ms. Elsa didnt just bath me, she also help me get shaved down there, that alone sent cold shivers down my veins when I think about it.


    “Let’s get you dressed” the woman announced.


    One of the girls opened the closet and brought out a pink gown. I wowed as I hadn’t noticed the closet earlier and to think it’s filled with beautiful wears.


    I took the towel off after Ms. Elsa ordered the girl not to look at me since Iined to her that I’m notfortable.


    I put on the gown and its just kike they knew my size as it fitted perfectly in my body.


    “I’m done” i said.


    The girl and Ms. Elsa turned to look at me.


    “Wow! Geez this so beautiful!” They eximed.


    “Thanks” I muttered.


    I don’t know if I should be smiling or crying as I don’t know yet what awaits me in this house. Will I be treated nice?


    That is something I know Nothing about.


    “Let’s get your face down” One of the girls said and brought out a makeup box. She made me sat down before a mirror and them she started the makeover.


    ____


    “Boss calls for you” Ady said as she walks into my room.


    “I’ll led you?” She offered.


    I nodded and stood up.


    Ms. Elsa and her girls had helped paint my face , then asked my to sit down and wait till I’m needed.


    Well, I guess it’s now…. Gosh I’m so nervous meeting the masked man.


    What is he going to do with me?. I followed the girl and she stood at a particr door. She turned and stared at me then smiled.


    “You are very beautiful” She blushed.


    “Thank you” I muttered still trying to act calm.


    “Do you know… why your boss sent for me and why I’m here?” I whispered to her.


    She shaked her head negatively. “I don’t know. Not like you’re the first girl.. so pitiful” the girl said.


    “Why do you mean?” I whispered , my heart was beating faster that usual.


    “All the girls she bought, no one knows the oue of them after one month. We never hear from them again or see them after their given person expires” the girl said.


    My heart kept beating…. Fast and more faster! I’m going to die! That was the only thought in my mind.


    “Be a good girl!” The girl said and walked out before I could say a word.


    My hand turns numb, sweat started to feel in… I’m going to die!!


    I slowly knocked at the door thedy had led me to..


    “Come in” A deep strict voice said from inside and I felt like I’m dead already!
