Chapter 5

The door of the elevator opened and a man dressed in black came out taking a strong step. A cigar was burning on the finger of his left hand, from which dim smoke was rising.

There was a big room in front of the elevator where he was heading. No one could see inside the glass wall. But he knew she was inside.

He unlocked the door with the help of his fingerprint, slid the glass door open, and stepped inside.

In the cold room, Emma sat on the floor. The interior was dark. In front of the glass wall, she was sitting, leaning against it. The moment black shiny boots stooped near her, her jaw dropped in shock.

After standing up so quickly, she became dizzy from getting up all at once.

Despite her falling, he did not assist her. After barely stopping herself from falling, she glanced at his face. Aris stared at her with deep eyes.

Yes. Looking at that face, he realized how painful it would be to give it a death. He was deciding when to kill her. He was thinking about how to get rid of her. That face he loved madly but now he hated her.

"Why am I here? I have to leave." She said with dry lips. Her color was turning red. She was barely standing a few steps away from him. Otherwise, it looked like she was about to fall.

"You want to leave?" He started walking towards her.

When she was pinned by the glass wall, he stopped at a distance of two steps. He placed his right hand on her cheek while the other hand held a cigar.

"You have to stay here for as long as I want. And I haven't thought about how long you have to stay."

She started coughing heavily due to the smoke. She kept her hands on her face and was panting. Her black hair flowed over her face.

He watched her very closely. There was something different in his eyes now. She barely controlled her senses as she looked into his eyes. She has to be strong to fight.

"What do you think? If you kidnap me and keep me like this, will I be afraid? I will retreat.... Don't make the mistake of thinking that I am weak. I was not weak five years ago, nor will I be now.” She glared at him with red eyes. Her harsh words shocked him for a moment. One moment earlier, she was afraid but now she was looking at him with bold eyes. He tightly clenched his fist.

"Don't challenge me. You will lose. Don't make the mistake of thinking that I am Aris Johnson from five years ago. I am not a stupid man, madly in love with you. Soon you will be able to see my ruthlessness. Her wild eyes scrutinize closely her impressions. "Then you will understand what revenge is like."

She got nervous and turned her eyes away from him. She couldn’t look at his cold face. He put a bitter smile on his lips as she steals her eyes like this and took her face in his grip.

"You don't know anything except cheating, don't you? You did this five years ago." His hot breath collided with her breath. Her lips trembled but she didn’t dare speak. She had not taken a sip of water from her throat for two days. She had no more strength to fight.

“I can kill you." No one will know about it.” He said with a grin. She looked at his icy eyes. It looked like he was about to kill her now.

"Then kill me. I don’t want to be a plaything in your hands. Kill me Aris Johnson.” She never felt as weak as before. She never thought that life would put her in this situation. A cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Beg me. Beg for your death, but it won't be easy for you. You have to pay for what you did to me. You played with my feelings, you made fun of me. I will never forgive you, Emma dear. Of course, I will kill you but it will not be an easy death. You will suffer as I have suffered. You will beg me but you will not be shown mercy.” His cruel words were enough to scare her. Raising his hand from the glass wall, he put his finger on her lips. The distance between two steps was less than a step.

Emma was paralyzed. She didn't even feel that he was touching her. She was just looking at him without blinking an eye. She clenched her fists tightly. She was now taking some deep breaths through her mouth. She had to calm herself down.

“You can’t keep me here. This will…”

Actually I can, dear. You so called lover sold you to me. You are just my property now. Surely, you understand the meaning of the word ‘Property’, huh?” With a sarcastic smile, he emphasized the word 'Property'."

This was the last thing she wanted to hear from him about. She never thought he would come and claim her as his property. It was nerve-racking for her. She could not even stand on her own. She fell on her knees. Her hair all came forward. She was looking at his black boots now.

"I remember our loving moments. But all of them are buried in the ashes of hatred. I am not a school boy who will fall for your tears. I am Aris Johnson. I never forgive anyone. Prepare yourself now." He paused for a moment. “You have to serve me from now on."

The word 'serve' sent a current through her being. She couldn’t believe what she had heard.

“Taresa.” He called out and the same woman entered the room. Her head was still bowed.

“Train this girl. She will serve me from now on. Train her in every aspect." He commanded in a cruel tone and turned around. He was going out. Emma looked at his back. He had changed. She closed her eyes.

The fear was so overwhelming that she could not move.

The pain of betrayal was so severe that she could not cry.

The horror was so intense that she started trying to stop breathing.

She was an independent girl; she could not bear slavery. The cruel person walked out of the room, but she remained in the same position. All thoughts were paralyzed. She could not sit for a long time. She fell on the right side. Her small brown eyes were now closed and her existence was still. Even for a few moments, she forgot everything.
