work for him

As she waited for her captivator to reveal himself, she realized that her dress was no more on her skin. The dress she wore was nowhere to be seen, rather a smooth silk dress of knee length covered her body with straps on shoulders, which exposed an amount of skin she didn't preferred. 

She felt herself ashamed and tried to hide her revealing chest with the same rug she slept in. 

Who even changed my clothes and why?

Her hair were still damp as she thought that someone also must have gave her a bath, which sounded more embarrassing to her. The wave of sheer embarrassment and shame overwhelmed her emotions and she felt self conscious. 

Who even touched me? Why they bought me here? 

The fear started to creep in her nerves as she felt herself in a uncomfortable spot. The unfamiliar place and the strange measures took her naive mind into overdrive. 

Her body started to tense and she hugged her arms around her body to comfort herself. 

No wonder her eyes started to get wet as she suddenly felt everything awkward and disturbing. 

Out of sudden, the door creaked open. She lifted her eyes up to watch the man of her nightmare as she tried to recognize his face.

The same deadly and beguiling aura surrounded him like a shadow. Those sharp features and petrifying eyes. As he took slow steps towards her existence. The way his eyes revered over her physique, it gave her spine chills. 

His vehement gaze terrorized her whole being in a millisecond. As she gulped down the lump forming in her throat, her brain processed the older version of him she met before. 

he is the same one I met that day in hospital. But why he brought me here?

 "Awake" he coarse out. 

"Who are you?" She made a failed attempt of not to stutter. 

"Mr Wayans! Obviously you know the name very well" he took another step towards her. 

"But Mr Wayans why did you brought me here? I have nothing to do with you. I think I should go now" she stood up from the bed and tried to walk past him but dolefully he wrapped his large hand around her fragile arm, which made her stop instantaneously. 

"Irritating!" He conferred and harshly pushed her back in front of himself. 

She stood close to him and for the second time she looked again into those captivating orbs which only  suppressed jeopardy in them. 

His wrath filled gaze and unknown intentions made her shiver with horror. 

"Don't you dare again to cross me!" He whispered in a low voice leaning closer to her face. 

She couldn't form another word on her tongue as she stood there frozen in utter astonishment. 

"Did you realize who paid for your mother's hospital bills?" He casually dropped a question on her while letting her arm go and stuffing his hands inside the side pockets of his pants. 

She lifted her face to look at him with disbelief. 

As she met his deadly gaze, she realized that he demanded an answer and that too in for of words. 

"I don't know" she whispered lowly and unable to meet his eyes anymore she looked down again. 

"I paid for your mother, I cleared your bills" he confessed with a tinge of mockery and proudness. 

She again looked at him in state of incredulity. 

So it was him. 

"How do you know my mother? And why you did that?" She dared to ask him. 

"I know your mother from past but that's not important. I cleared your bills, isn't that enough?" 

"It's your generosity that you favored us in difficult times but please let me go, I beg you. I don't even know you" she said with helplessness as her voice started to break. 

"Straight to the point! ........ How are you going to return my money back?" He asked sternly with knitted eyebrows. 

Her anime like eyes became wide with shock. 

Paying back. I didn't even think about it. 

"I don't have any money at the moment" she admitted weakly. 

"I also know that, that's why I've brought you here Ruby" his features relaxed as a playful smirk swayed on his lips. 

The name which left his mouth sounded very bitter to her ears. Never in a life time someone called her like that which also reflected their evil intentions behind it. But it no more came as a shock that he knew her name so we'll which also made sense to her that he knows her family and background too. 

"What do you mean?" Her naive mind still unable to understand his dirty intentions made him more confident. 

"You'll work for me from now on as compensation" he verified with a serious face. 

"But I can't! How can........" She protested but she was cut off in between when a powerful hand landed on her fluffy cheek, making her brain go in a haze for a whole good minute. 

"Enough of your rubbish! I announced, didn't asked for your opinion. It's my choice not yours! The woman will tell you about all the work and you'll obey. Or I swear the consequences will be beyond worse you ever even dreamt of" he seethed poison through his gritted teeth as she couldn't even avert her face and stood there in the same position. 

The pain on her cheek sting like a needle as the tears were hyped up out of her eyes. 

His eyes focused on her features which was now hidden behind the layers of her hair as she turned her face on her right side. His gaze travelled down and he acknowledged the exposed skin of her figure. The skin settled against her bones giving her a good disclosure of her well defined collar bone. 

And her young breasts puckering out of the tight dress didn't go unnoticed by his mirthless look. The fashion was not so of her personality. Her innocence demanded coverage of her skin and hide behind the seven curtains. 

But however nothing mattered to him or could move his heart. He let his gaze drop from her young body, immediately vanishing the lustful intentions out of his mind. 

Giving her a final glance, he stepped back and then turned around, leaving the room in calculated long strides. But leaving behind his dark demeanor behind for her to cope with. 

Her world already got crushed before her eyes and now this....made her feel so vulnerable.

 Why god is so cruel to some people? What on the earth I sinned that my punishment is so unbearing.

She refused to let out a cry but the tears helplessly fell down from her face and disappeared behind the thin cloth on her chest. The pain on her cheek making her soul scream in affliction. The slap came as another state of bafflement. He didn't realized how much he stooped low in her view after hitting her and that too unnecessary. Her guts wrenched in disgust for him but her weak soul was not enough audacious to against him. 

She felt herself extremely distressed and worn out after each new dawn in her life which kept breaking her to bones. 

She didn't even had any idea that what kind of work he wanted her to do and it already gave her bad vibes. 

She sat on the floor and leaned again the wooden bed. The cold wood contacting her skin but soothing her. 

You'll get through this too. She tried to assure herself. 

She didn't realized how much time passed while sitting there and letting her mind wander in her imaginary world as she made herself assure that better days will come. 

Her eyes were closed and tears dried up on her skin making it itchy, when the same maid entered the room with a tray of food. 

The light footsteps made her wake up consciously as the anxiety seep inside her veins. She looked at the intruder with alert and scare filled eyes. 

But her nerves calmed down a little when she realized that it was just that old woman and she didn't had any intentions to hurt her. 

But I cannot trust anyone. She affirmed herself. 

"Please eat this food, it's very late at night and you haven't eaten anything the whole day" she politely suggested her as she placed the dishes on table, taking out every cutlery from the tray with great care. Her empty stomach started to growl and her mouth started to water at the sight of food and enchanting smell of it. She didn't had any proper meal for days, she realized suddenly. 

The woman gave her a sense of reliability as she didn't looked scary as Dawson. 

"I'll take my leave and excuse you. Just tell me if you need anything. I'll come later to collect the empty dishes" she justified her departure and was about to exit the door when Ruby spoke up. 

"What's your name?" Ruby was educated and she knew well that this maid could help her a little in escaping if she persuades her. 

But she was also aware of the fact it might put her in danger too if she got caught, so she decided to progress gradually by first asking her name. 

"I'm afraid I can't tell you that" she replied plainly and closed the door with a thud, leaving Ruby behind extremely disappointed and helpless.
