A secret Room

SABRINA’s POV

My body was numb right now with the way he was touching me. I wasn’t even aware what my purpose was. He mentioned I was his slave and now I was going to be a nanny to his son too?

I didn’t know he was going to kill my dad weeks later after I had saved his son.

I couldn’t believe I had come face to face with my father’s killer. The anger I felt came rushing back but I had to keep it under control.Even though I hated to admit, he looked very intimidating and quite handsome in a ridiculous way. His height towering over me, that perfect tanned skin, perfect glossy curly dark hair, body that looked sculpted by the gods and those deep green eyes I could totally drown in. 

I wiped my sweaty palm on my black dress that I was suddenly feeling naked in with the way he looked at me.

I sat there, trying not to fidget, as he scrutinized my body, making me feel incredibly self-conscious.

He broke the silence, his eyes locked onto mine,finally removing his hands from my inner thighs."You know me right?" he asked, his voice deceptively calm.

I swallowed hard and replied, "Yes sir,I know you.My father worked for you.”

You murderer!

His  lips curled into a half-smile. "How amazing it is to have you here," he remarked, his gaze fixed on me" Your father didn’t comply with our agreement and I hate two timing people. He had to suffer for his actions,you know? Anyway, are you up for being a nanny for my son? He seems to like you and he rarely likes people"

“Yes sir,” I nodded quickly,swallowing hard. Not like I had any other choice in the first place. It occurred to me that I could be there on a mission! I was going to find any incriminating evidence I could lay my eyes on and then turn him over to the police. He had to pay for killing my innocent father just like that. 

He moved closer, and my heart raced even faster. I held my breath as he inched closer, his presence overwhelming. He ordered me to look at him, and though I was reluctant, I met his gaze.

"You should know what you're getting involved with," he warned, his tone low and dangerous. He reached out and traced his finger lightly along my chin. "If you stay in my house, there are certain things you'll have to accept."

I gulped and nodded in response. He ordered me to follow me into a room he referred to as his study. I followed behind him,like a lost puppy. We entered the room shortly and the whole place looked as cold and intimidating as he was.

 "Sit," he commanded, and I took a seat, trying to appear composed.

Luciano wasted no time in laying down the rules. "You are mine now, Sabrina," he said. "Which means I can do whatever the hell I want with you.Being a nanny to my son isn’t off limits and infact,a privilege to you.Also, you must adhere to the rules of this house."

He continued, "You are not allowed to step foot outside of this house unless I allow you to.”

“Yes sir,” I replied softly.

He continued with his instructions, "You must be hardworking and take good care of Noah. You mustn't ever resort to physical punishment to reprimand him. He is being homeschooled, and I expect you to assist with his studies, particularly in teaching him Spanish since I haven't found a suitable teacher yet."

He added firmly, "Your focus should be solely on two things. Your job as Noah’s nanny and being my  slave. Apart from satisfying me sexually,you are also going to help carry out some of my operations,since your father was unable to.You got that?”

Oh right. It was evident this man wanted my body.How could my father even do this? 

No,I wasn’t going to pin the blame on him. This cruel man must have coerced my father into agreeing to his ridiculous rules. And what operations was he talking about? I didn’t even want to find out.

I shuddered at the thought of my virginity going to be taken away just like that by a total stranger. 

Did he know I was a virgin? God,I hoped not. Or else he might be eager to take it away quickly.

A tear threatened to escape my eyes but I tried to keep myself in check remembering he hated tears.

Then, he leaned in a little closer, his eyes locked onto mine. "There's one more thing," he said. "There is a room in this house that is off-limits to you." He pointed to a door on the far end of the study. "That room is private, and you must never go there."

I nodded, committing his words to memory. "I understand."

A secret room? Well that was what I was here for,I said inwardly. Luciano's gaze remained intense as he concluded, "Lastly, you must keep your nose out of my business at all times. Understood?"

I agreed to everything he had laid out, and once the meeting was over, he quickly called one of his men named Lorenzo  and asked him to show me to the chief maid, Denise. She would help me settle into my new living quarters.

Denise arrived shortly, appearing to be in her late forties. She was warm and friendly as she led me to my room. The medium-sized and cozy space looked really beautiful.Denise took a few moments to give me a brief rundown of the household and welcomed me with a smile.

I asked, "How long have you been with Mr. Luciano?"

"Two years now," She replied me.Denise's demeanor shifted, and she gave me a stern warning. "He's a dangerous man. You need to make sure you stay in his good books."

I nodded, appreciating her advice, and watched as she left my room, closing the door behind her.

Alone in my new quarters, I took a deep breath trying to figure out what the hell I had been caught in.

Then suddenly swung open, and a burst of energy filled the room. Noah rushed in, calling me "Princess." His bright eyes and infectious smile melted my heart.

I couldn't help but return his smile and gave him a little hug. "Hello, Noah," I greeted him.

Even though his dad was the devil,it was hard to be mad at the innocent looking handsome boy.

He beamed and asked, "Are you really my new nanny now?"

I giggled and nodded, "Yes, I am."

Noah's excitement was very obvious as he exclaimed, "That's great! Now we can play together and have so much fun!"

“Yes we will,” I smiled gently at him.

Later that evening, I tucked Noah in bed,under his blankets. His big, innocent eyes blinked up at me, "Princess Nanny" he whispered, his voice barely louder than a breath, "can you read me a bedtime story, please?"

A tender smile graced my lips as I reached for the  book he kept besides him.I settled down on the edge of his bed, and the words flowed from my lips as I read about adventurous journeys and brave heroes. Noah's eyelids grew heavier, his breaths steadier, and I knew he was drifting off to sleep.

Closing the book gently, I leaned down to give him a gentle kiss on the forehead. His muttered softly, "Thank you, Princess Nanny." 

I gave a wide smile and I rose from my seat, dimming the overhead light and leaving his bedside lamp aglow.

I noticed his windows slightly ajar so I went over to lock it. When I glanced out of his window,I saw some shadowy figures moving on the ground floor. The darkness made it difficult to discern their faces or actions clearly, but the uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach told me that something was amiss. Curiosity ignited within me, and I knew I had to investigate.

Leaving his room, I tiptoed down the hallway and carefully descended the stairs, each step barely making a sound.When I reached the ground floor, I moved silently towards the window, peeking outside. My heart quickened as I spotted Luciano, surrounded by a group of men. They were gathered around someone, their voices low and urgent.

In the dim light, I could make out a trail of blood on the floor. And then,I heard a deafening gunshot. My eyes widened in terror, and I instinctively brought my hands to my mouth, trying to stifle the scream that almost escaped my mouth.

Luciano had shot the man at the head and blood splattered on the windows as he collapsed to the floor. 

At that very moment, I felt a strong hand clamp over my mouth from behind. Another arm wrapped around my waist, pinning me in place. My entire body quivered as I struggled to see who had me, but I couldn't break free.
