Chapter 5. Deceit.

It's just as I thought. I've been tricked. Those this has something to do with the Daniel they keep talking about, I have a feeling that that name aso has a name in it, but wait, what will happen to Peter, no let's not think of that for nw, I have to think of how to get out of this place, he's a psychopath. I looked at Richard and shivered in fear, this man was using me to get what he wanted. If I am right they've always been talking about a Daniel blood, and that old ha also said I was a Daniel, could a Daniel be a requirement to achieving his goals? If that turns out to be true then I don't think I would be able to leave this place. "Mira." 

Ah! I was taken off guard by this man, I can't lose my guard around him especially after knowing that he did this intentionally. That's right, something else is missing. I was drugged by this man. Those sleeping pills weren't to help me sleep, and that incident, could it have been planned to make me believe I was the victim. If it's what I think of it then I am so screwed. "Ha! Ha ha!! Haaaa!!! You tricked me." I admire him. A broad grin spreads across his face, this man didn't even think of hiding or denying it, it's official, what a smart player he is.

I pushed him away and hoped he wouldn't do something else but he just walked up to me and rubbed his chin. "You have what I want my dear, it won't be that easy to let you off the hook, besides, who knows, that person might change his mind after seeing you carry my child". He stared at my body like a lion waiting to pounce on his prey. I don't want to even know what is going on in his head, however, I am more worried about the last statement he just made. Who is 'That person'? 

He grins and examines me closely, I keep getting goosebumps because of his stares, do I run, but, where do I run to, I didn't even take notice of my surroundings before arriving here. "If you're thinking of escaping then give up, however, if you can produce a heir for me I'll let you go, your freedom is guaranteed." This sly bastard is at it again, if giving birth to an heir was so easy then why did he desperately try to keep me locked up here.

      "You're lying. If it's that easy then go marry your own kind and let me go." At this moment I wished I didn't yell at him. I don't know what to take off the pressure he's putting on my wrist. If this goes on, I think my bones are gonna snap. I was just about to reason with him when he let me go. Suddenly his expression turned gloomy. Was he sad? Well, he shouldn't be, because if anyone should be mad, it should be me.

      "Am sorry you have to go through all this, to be honest I don't want to either, but i'm not in need of any kind child, rather a half blooded child, a Dhampir to be precise, one with a particular blood which both you and your sister have, but, lucky for me you happened to find me. If you could get me that then you're free to leave." Could it be that he's telling the truth? Will he really let me go if I give birth to a son, just a son? Is that all he really wants? Do I trust him? But if I don't take this step then I am not sure if I can leave this place. This is gonna be a gamble, the probability of me winning are zero, and the probability of me escaping are also zero. My best bet would be having his child, after all, that way I can have a card in my possession. Alright then Richard, let's play this game. Just you wait, I will escape.

      "Just that. Then I get my freedom." I draw near to the point that I forget I am the one keeping the distance.

      He nods. "Yep." I withdrew and gave it a thought. That's all he needs.

      "Sounds too good to be true. Alright I'll take you up on your offer. A child, for my freedom, no more debts, nothing more, nothing less." I nodded and gave him my consent, if a child is all it takes then we have a deal. Still I couldn't help but feel nervous. He took the first step and drew near for a kiss and I accepted, I kept seeing flashes of Peter in my head, 'is this betrayal? How would he feel about this? Put it together Mira, he doesn't have to know, I'll simply say I had an accident and was lost. Yes, that's it.' No, I can't do it, I can't betray him. I pushed him and stepped back till my back touched the wall. I need some time to clear my head. I won't be able to perform my side of the deal if this goes on. However, this person doesn't seem like he has much patience left. He walked forward and pulled me close to him, he buried his face on my neck and kissed it, his hot breath was all over my shoulders, his hands traced through my body, he's not letting go no matter how much I struggle. It got worse when I started pushing him away from me, when he stopped he only looked at me as if trying to fight back his urge. 

"I've gone against others just for you. I can't back out now. I need that child, will you help me." He said with sincerity in his voice, I looked at his thick red eyes and I give up I didn't know when he took off my undergarment so ready am half naked in front of him and my legs are already giving way, am trying to fight it but immediately he kissed me so passionately I gave up.
