Chapter 5: I'm Scared

The Royal Eagle

Carlos

I enter Jennifer's suite and find her lying naked on the bed, her legs spread wide in a silent invitation. Her hand is between her thighs, masturbating, her fingers slick with her juices.

– Who gave you permission to touch yourself?

– Forgive me, sir. It's been a week since you last touched me, and I desire it so much.

I look at her furiously.

– I think you've forgotten who you're here for, haven't you?

– No, sir.

– Then tell me, who are you here for?

– For you, sir.

I open a drawer and take out handcuffs, then immobilize her arms, securing them to the headboard. I spread her legs and tie them to the ends of the bed.

I take a penis-shaped sex toy from the drawer and insert it into her vagina. Then I turn it on, setting it to maximum power.

– You'll stay like this all night. Since you're so eager to fuck, do it with this. Sleep well. Lucia will come and untie you.

She begins to moan, writhing.

– I'm sorry, sir. It won’t happen again. I’m here to serve you, not to satisfy myself. Please.

Sibelle

What will become of us? I keep asking myself that question.

Andrea, please stay close to me, don’t go far.

I was happy we weren’t sold, but now we’re being taken to a warehouse.

What did we do to deserve this?

What have we done to deserve this?

Come and help us, poor sinners that we are… Through your grace, please help me.

– Calm down, Sibelle, it’ll be alright. Not being sold at auction is already a good thing, okay? Calm down.

– Okay, Andrea. I hope what you’re saying is true and that God will help us. You saw what happened , he killed two people right in front of us, and no one intervened. The third girl with us is looking at me, just as scared.

– I hope it will be alright. At least we weren’t sold , that’s already something.

– That’s true, so calm down, okay? Anyway, we’re not going to die today.

Auracio

The auction went well today. Everything ran smoothly.

– How much did it bring in?

– Ten million, but sixty percent will be transferred to the girls after their contract period. The rest will go into the fund.

– Alright, no problem. Let’s head to the warehouse.

– Okay, boss.

I leave the office and get into the vehicle. Once we arrive at the warehouse, the guards waiting for us greet me.

– Good evening, sir.

– I hope you're rested.

– A little, yes. Thank you, sir. I’m Andrea.

– Pleased to meet you, Andrea. I’ll be clear with you. It’s true that you weren’t sold today, because I decided so. But that doesn’t mean you're going back to your parents or being freed. That wouldn’t work for me. You might alert the police.

– No, sir. We swear we won’t tell anyone.

– Yeah, that’s what they all say. No, that won’t be possible. You’re going to work with us. We’ll find something for you to do, but you won’t have your freedom. We’ll investigate your families thoroughly. They’ll be under constant surveillance. If, after six months, we see that you're behaving, you’ll be allowed to live in your own houses. But your parents will always be watched. At the slightest mistake, they’ll pay the price. We'll torture them before killing them. I hope I’m being perfectly clear: no one will open their mouths. Tonight, you’ll stay at my residence until we decide what to do with you. Is that perfectly clear to everyone?

– Thank you very much, sir. We won’t say anything to anyone.

– Good. Mario, let’s go.

We arrive at the house. Jennifer runs out to greet me. She hasn’t seen me in two days , I’ve been away.

– Good evening, my love.

– Welcome back.

– Thank you. Why are you still awake?

– I was waiting for you. I heard you came back this afternoon, but you didn’t come to see me.

– I had a lot of work to do. Don’t worry, I’ll come to your room shortly.

– Okay, darling. I’ll be waiting. Kisses.

She glances at the three women and asks,

– Who are they?

– That’s none of your business. Go upstairs.

She heads back up without another word.

I call the housekeeper.

– Take care of these girls. Give them something to eat and find them rooms to sleep in. Tomorrow I’ll tell you what their duties will be.

– Yes, sir.

– Follow me, ladies.

– Alright, I’ll leave now. I’m expected.

– Be here first thing tomorrow morning.

– Okay. Good night. See you tomorrow.

Sibelle

I get out of the vehicle and look around in awe.

– What a beautiful residence, I whisper to Andrea.

– Yes, it’s huge. I hope we can find a way to escape.

– We need to be very careful. If we get caught, our parents will pay the price. Let’s rest. We’ll think better tomorrow.

We follow the elderly lady to several rooms. She tells us we can choose whichever one we like.

– It doesn’t matter to us. As long as there’s a bed, that’s enough.

I decide to share a room with Andrea. I feel safer that way. I hate being alone in unfamiliar places.

I go into the shower first, then Andrea. When I come out, I find a tray of food waiting. I wait for her to join me so we can eat together.

With our stomachs full, we lie down to sleep. But sleep won’t come.

I think about my parents, my studies, my future.

I feel like I’m suffocating.

What will happen tomorrow?

I’m scared.

What kind of work will they assign us?

I’m a little relieved that we weren’t sold.

But I’m still not at peace about what lies ahead.
