“I am more than happy to hear you say that,” Mavie murmured as she answered with her eyes looking straight at her Master. “I am sure you will be a father every child would wish to have. Is it funny that I am almost envious of them that you would be a father to?” “Is it because you never felt the same affections from your father?” Judas asked. “Maybe we share the same sentiments about that….”“Hmmmm?” Mavie had her eyes widened as she stared at Judas’ face with disbelief. “What do you mean? Ahhh, I’m sorry. Please, never mind my stupid question,” Mavie hurriedly added. Mavie did not expect the man to mention they have similar sentiments about lacking paternal affection; she did not expect such a powerful -well, in Mavie’s understanding, this man is powerful, that he would lack in something so emotionally related matter in life. But when she realized her question was outrageous to be done by someone considered a slave, Mavie quickly withdrew her silly words. “As my slave, just listen
The first weekend came to an end. Mavie was blindfolded again as she was brought out of Judas’ penthouse to be sent back to where she works. Judas pretended to ask Mavie the address where to send her that Monday morning. But he was actually the one driving the car Mavie was in on her way to work. His bodyguards were driving ahead and behind him. “You will step out of the car when it stops, but you can only take the blindfolds after about two minutes; you can count two sixties mentally and walk on your way. Understand?”Mavie remembered her Master’s instructions before she was gently and carefully ushered into a car. And she did as told. And went inside the villa where she works as a carer giver for an elderly Mister Dinero. Mavie cheerfully started her day at work. She was not so sure what was making her so ebullient. She was so cheerful and full of energy. She had always been happy to be working, but it was almost doubled this time. Excitement and fear did not leave her heart. Sh
Judas fell asleep with the screen of the security camera in Mavie's room still playing on his tablet. He was awakened by a soft sound of groaning. At first, Judas did not notice that the sound was coming from the tablet right next to his right thigh, where it had slid from his hold before he dozed off that night. He thought he just heard things, but when the groaning sound became somehow strident, Judas focused on listening to where the sound of being in pain was coming from. The more Judas fixed his attention on finding where the sound was from. He found it familiar. Judas searched for the tablet he was holding before he fell asleep and what he saw made him panic. "What is going on?" Judas hurriedly grabbed a pair of training clothes and dialed Ray's number with the tablet still in his hold. "We need to get to my grandpa's house right now!" Judas was obviously panicked as he spoke while running down his stairs. One hand was holding the tablet while the other was holding the phone
Mavie sighed in relief. "Thank goodness!" she groaned. Ray heard his boss speak over the earpiece he was wearing. "Get the medicine box for her, Ray. She said it's behind the mirror in the bathroom."The assistant had to ask Mavie for formality as he looked around, looking for the bathroom door in the room. "You mentioned you have a medicine box, right?" Ray made his tone sound casual. Mavie nodded and pointed in the direction of the bathroom. "Yes. It's right there. Thanks again." Mavie answered, still with difficulty speaking, but she did not forget to express her gratitude. She was beyond thankful this man arrived when he did; she did not even bother to mind that he broke the door. Mavie was feeling like she was in the gates of hell as she felt the pain to be so unbearable. She barely made it not to lose consciousness before the man, whom she wasn't even aware of what to call him, came to her rescue. Ray hurried to get the medicine box. He was not sure what to hand the lady
“I…. Ahmmm…. I,” Mavie stammered. Ray heard his Boss ask “what?” in a grumpy tone through the earpiece, but he did not mimic the way he received the message. The assistant was torn between these two, but he could not dare voice his displeasure on the flow of events. All Ray could do was give the caregiver a helpless expression. Ray had his back to the camera, so Judas did not see the agony on his assistant’s face during the whole conversation between him and Mavie. How Ray wished they would just do it on their own. But then again, how could he refuse to obey and do as his Boss demands of him?Mavie was also helpless. But what she heard last from the man terrified her. She summoned her courage to speak and tell him what bothered her so much. “Can I go out for a while to buy something?” Mavie found a way to divert the embarrassment. She would rather be scolded for asking something such as permission to go out and buy what she needed than tell the man what she actually had to buy. “J
Ray was startled when he noticed his boss got into a car parked right outside the gates. Judas had ordered one of his men to bring a vehicle outside his gates and had its engine started because he would be leaving soon. And it was right where Judas asked it to be when they walked out of his grandpa's house. "Boss…?" Ray called for Judas' attention with hesitations. "What?" Judas asked as he fastened his seatbelt, seated right next to Ray, who was sitting behind the wheels. "I'm going to buy the pads and a serving of warm porridge. You can take your rest. I can handle this," Ray answered cautiously. "I have no doubt you can. I am even amazed you don't seem bothered that you are going to buy such items for a woman. Personal, if I may add," Judas said casually. "I don't think you're that kind of guy…." Judas could not say his words exactly. The Mafia Don was also cautious not to offend Ray's feelings if he happened to be wrong in his thoughts. They do not have much of an age differe
Ray started to check the packaging label of the item. He had a picture from Mavie’s stocks and the products that were on the racks. “They have the same packaging, right?” Ray held the pack and showed it to Judas. “This item is the same as the one in this picture, right, boss?”The cashier was watching the only customers he had in the store in the wee hours of the night; two men, as they chose items on the shelves. The store worker was not confident to walk closer and offer his assistance because he noticed they were on a section he was not very knowledgeable about. He was a man, after all, so he did not know much about sanitary pads. He was confident he could assist them, but only if they wanted to pay for their purchases. Because f they were going to ask anything else about the item, the worker was not ready to answer any questions. But if they still chose to approach him, he would just tell them to check the prints on the packaging. That’s all he could to help. Soon enough, two da
“Master….?” Mavie did not expect to see the man, but instead of surprise, a faint smile was visible on her face. If there was someone Mavie wished to see at the very moment, it was no other than this person. The only person she had been thinking of with so much longing to see again, spend time with, no matter what reasons fate had to bring them together. “Master, is it really you?” Mavie asked again but in a soft whisper. Judas had so many scenes played in his mind of how this moment would turn out to be in reality to have a slight idea; if he cannot be accurate, so he would know how to explain and clarify his identity to Mavie. He had expected her to be surprised, first of all. If not, she should be scared o upset, but among all the possibilities his mind had conceived, Judas was baffled to see an exact opposite to what he had supposed Mavie would have reacted. “I had hoped the names of my slave and the hired carer for my grandpa would be one and the same person,” Judas hid his a
