Chapter 6

Aurelia's POV

“Get in the car” he ordered.

“I can't…”

“I won't say it again” he stared deeply at me. Even in ten years, I might not be able to defile his orders, he commands so much authority.

I quickly sat at the passenger's seat, consumed by nervousness. Why is he doing this?

He drove along, not minding my fear, I thought what I wanted to. Is he trying to kidnap me? 

He might have probably figured out I had no one to care for me, if I get kidnapped no one would be worried, aside Dita and the others.

The drive was silent, I almost puked as my stomach ran violently. I needed to speak fast.

“My mum would get worried”

He chuckled lightly.

“From what I have seen, trust me she won't, you don't have to lie to yourself” his words so true and pure, too bad it hit the wrong spot.

He knew my mother doesn't love me, no one loves me, he could even kidnap me and have his way with me. It pained my heart deeply, was I so useless no one needed me?

We got to his mansion shortly, I jumped out of his car. Why did he bring me to his house again?

I didn't say anything. I couldn't afford to be underlooked again.

“Make me a cup of coffee” he commanded as soon as we got into his lounge.

“Sir?”

He didn't repeat himself? Did he bring me to his house just because he wanted a cup of coffee?

Yeah it seems like he did.

Silas didn't get his usual cup of coffee earlier, because I was down and couldn't attend to him.. I guess I was the faulty one here.

I made him his coffee as fast as I could, he really needed a caffeine fix.

“Here it is” I served him.

He took it all in one big gulp, satisfied, he turned to me, my body shivered in fear. What was I afraid of?

“Can I go home now?”

He stared at me with a flicker of anger in his eyes, Did I make him upset?

“I have an offer for you?”

An offer? For me?

“Sir?”

“You would be my personal coffee maker and I would pay you nicely”.

That's an offer for jobless person, I have a job. Does he love my coffee that much or he just pitied me?

“I can't sir… I have to go” I stuttered.

I might look stupid, Why would I reject such a nice offer to continue living in an hell hole? I just can't dissapoint my family by leaving the coffee shop, everyone needed me there.

He didn't ask for my reasons, I had the right to make my decisions.

“Your choice… Take this..” He gave me a some money.

“I can't accept that sir” 

“Are you so dumb? Won't you take money for your services?” 

I muttered an ‘ohh’ and then accepted money. So much money for just a cup of coffee? I knew him to be a giver as he always paid double the amount for his coffee at the shop.

“Thank you sir” I hurried home in a flash, I didn't wan't my mother to get upset with me, that would lead to severe punishments.

“Where are you coming from?” my mother's harsh voice resounded.

“No… Nowhere.. I…” I stammered.

“The shop closed an hour ago, the walk usually takes 15minutes. Have you started sleeping around with boys?”

Sleep around? I would never do that, I am a dignified young lady.

“I wasn't… I had to… I was…” I tried to explain myself.

“Do you know how helpless you look right now?”

It's true, I was helplessly frightened. I couldn't explain myself.

“Mum, she must be sleeping with boys, her eyes says it all” Clara added.

It was the other way round, Clara was the one who sleeps around with boys.

“Ohh really, I knew as much, how much did he pay to sleep with a cheap whore like you?” my mum spatted, her voice laced with venom.

I held back my tears, I hated being refered to as a whore, I definitely wasn't one.

“Mum, let's search her, if she has money on her, it means we are right” 

Clara proceeded to search me, I couldn't defend myself against them.
