Erika Campbell's rich and perfect life was turned into shambles in a matter of hours by a man. She lost her family, her money, her loved ones and was left on the streets to die. Until the same stranger walked to her with an offer. A slave contract.
View MoreERIKAShe closed her eyes for a moment and when she opened them, she could see his concerned face right in front of her. And it was troubling. To think that everything that she was facing was because of him while he kept on pretending he gave a shit was torture itself."Why?""Because-""Why are you treating me this way? Why are you trying to make things easier on me by manipulating your own rules? Is it some trick? Is it a way to push me deeper even though I'm already on the lowest level possible?" She said, knowing she wouldn't be able to hold her peace like that."I would've lived with the fact that you hated me from the core and it would've saved me from this madness. Somehow.. your kindness, empathy, whatever this is, is way worse than your hate," she continued, watching his face return back to his original sternness. That gave her satisfaction. "Just go back to how you were before. Get your revenge. Get bored of me and toss me away. I don't want this.. you're confusing me. You'
ERIKAIt was strange how the light felt different as she felt like she was slipping back from an unbearably long dream. She knew she couldn't move a limp because her muscles felt sore, so did her face. But it was better than the last times she woke up, the pain was horrible, nothing like she had experienced before. Her memory was very clear, she knew exactly what had happened. But after that, she hadn't expected to be in a hospital but 6 feet below the ground. At that moment, she wasn't sure if she wanted to survive any longer.But this time, she could feel her eyes opening to the blinding sensation in her eyes as she stared up at the ceiling. Her head was bandaged, her hand in a small cast and a few more bandages here and there. This time it was a lot better, she could take in a breath without crumpling in pain. She gently craned her head to the side to see a familiar face, sitting zoned out on the sofa beside her."I didn't think we were that close," Erika managed to say, making Vio
NIGELErika was unconscious on the floor, lying on her own pool of blood. Not only that, her face and arms were covered with bruises. It wasn't an accident, there was no way. Nigel had paused, going completely blank for a moment and then only his anger came out.He rushed to Erika and carefully checked her, trying to keep calm as he started picking her up. He thought he wouldn't say anything but he was too angry and shaken to not."What the fuck are you watching standing here, fucking bunch of pathetic losers? None of you even bothered to place her in a more comfortable place, let alone call the fucking ambulance? Were you gonna let a person die?" Nigel's voice thundered among the crowd, making almost everyone look down with shame. He was baffled by the silence in the room, even Ms Mary tried avoiding his eyes. He realised how much of a leeway he had given them to be showing this attitude. "Who did this to her, Ms Mary?""I.. don't know, young master. I have no idea-""WHO DID THIS T
She was a puppet at that point, being run by Nigel Asher till she gets the life of her own. The words couldn't affect her in a more personal way because she really had no choice not to play into that narrative. If she had to coax him for that, she would.She packed everything up and walked out of the room, trying to complete her pending work around the house because she would be gone for the next unknown number of days. She didn't know where they were going or for how long, but that was Nigel Asher. He liked setting up everything by himself, delaying knowledge to the others till the end.Erika walked into the kitchen to see three of the servants talking in the corner in whispers. She thought how much better it would've been if she could get along with them, it really got too lonely for her sometimes especially when everyone ignored her like the plague. Beatrice looked up and they turned a little cautious when they saw Erika but a small smile appeared on their faces."I don't know what
ERIKAShe frowned to herself looking down at that text from Nigel. Pack your bags, it said. What did that even mean? What could he possibly try to say anymore?Was he throwing her out of the mansion once and for all? Was he sending her away? Or did he have something far more sinister in his mind for her? She had no idea, she hadn't seen this coming.Erika went back to her room and she sat on the edge of her bed, trying to figure out if she should actually pack up. She had no idea what she would do if he sends her away or throws her out because then all her plans would inevitably go down the drain. She had to stay there and watch Nigel's every move to somehow find a crack on the wall. But it was almost like he had figured out what she was trying to do and that's why he was sending her away. She really didn't know anymore."Why?" She texted back. It didn't take long fir the response to come."Don't ask. We're leaving tomorrow," Nigel texted, making her frown at the usage of his words. W
ERIKAWith that, he came even closer, bridging the gap between there lips as he placed his lips on hers with his hand on her neck. He pressed her against the study room door and he kissed her for a few seconds before he forced himself to push back. He stared back at her shocked face, incapable of forming a thought."And now you are the other woman, you've kissed me twice."Her mouth open but nothing came out, she could only feel his lips on hers even if he had backed away. She breathed hard and deep, too taken aback to look at him. He was so evil and devious that he could actually kiss her again just to make herself feel bad and scared about it. She couldn't believe what he had done."How could you..? You shouldn't have done that without my permission, that was not in the contract. Why did you still do it?" Erika raised her voice, actually shaken. She did fear Selena but this was more confusing. He only stared back at her with a mocking smirk, he was expecting a reaction like this."W

ERIKAThat's when her door swung open loudly and Erika snapped her head back to look at who it was. Violet stood at her doorway, gasping with excitement. "Erika, he's back," she said.Erika's breath almost caught when she heard Violet. All these days she had only thought about when he would come back, not about what would she do when he does actually come back. A week long of no communication or no tying loose ends had made the thoughts run out of Erika's brain. Now his return came when she was giving up, she didn't know how to rekindle it again."Where is he?" She asked, getting up while Violet caught her breath. "I saw his car pull up and I came rushing. I think you should see for yourself," Violet suggested and Erika nodded, a pit forming in her stomach because she was actually really nervous. She didn't know how to face that situation at all. But she still walked out of the door and felt herself rushing down the hall, not knowing what to expect. She stopped as she was climbing do
