Chapter Seven

Naomi's POV

My eyes stared at the man who bought me. Ten million dollars was a whole lot of money. My goodness! What was he thinking?

"You can go over and meet your buyer." Alex announced and I sighed. What a way to remind myself that I was nothing but an object of sexual gratification.

He didn't rise like I expected him to do when I approached and I stilled when he didn't move a muscle. Who was this man who was acting like a statue?

"Let's go." He said when I neared him. It was so low but I heard the unmistakable command in it and I was a bit worried.

He didn't seem like a friendly man. There was a way he carried himself or better put, there was an air of confidence around him, he oozed danger and warmth.

Okay, Naomi, you're beginning to be distracted. I noticed a man walking close to him giving me the stink eye and I wondered what must have caused this.

"I'll send it to your account. Forward the details to me later." He said and the man nodded

We walked out of the hall together in my scanty dress and the first thing that hit me was the cool breeze. It was refreshing, as though I was by the beach. Well, what was I expecting when I had been holed up in that godforsaken place for the most of my life. I hated Alex's den.

I think I could plan my escape from here if that was possible. "Follow me to the car." My buyer ordered and I obeyed instantly.

A sigh escaped my lips when we saw a sleek Lamborghini laying wait for us. "Wow," I muttered softly. Well, a pauper couldn't purchase me for that price.

He walked to the other side and opened the door, climbed in while I stalled. He poked his head through the other window. " Aren't you coming?"

The crazy thoughts in my head flew away when he said that. This man probably had dangerous connections more than Alex so it wouldn't be wise to think of escaping. It could cause me more harm.

It wouldn't be more than sex, would it? And it wasn't as though I was a virgin that was afraid. With that thought, I held my head up high and walked into the car, flashed him a smile but it died as soon as it came.

"I didn't bring you here to have sex with you." He told me.

Oh? That was a first? It hit me in two ways. Didn't he find me attractive enough? That couldn't be the reason.

"You paid a fortune for me."

"I know that."

Okay, I think that's the best news that I have heard in a while. "So, if you don't want me sexually, why do you want me?" I inquired, my brain trying to figure out what he could be planning. " Or are you also like Alex, running a brothel?"

He only lifted his brows, I got it, he didn't like being spoken to unless he asked. I didn't mind, "You are not going to be doing any sexual job."

Now, I was confused. "You want me to be your maid?" I inquired again.

"Sort of."

I threw my head back and laughed scornfully. Was that what they called it now? "You bought a stripper, who has been used by many men as your slave. I don't mind, you don't need to sugarcoat the fact that I'm unworthy but being a maid is a bit too low for the amount you just wasted."

He ignored me and I felt a bit slighted. Even if he didn't feel that I was worth it, he wasn't supposed to show it that much. I guess I just had to be very quiet henceforth.

I noticed him staring at me and I looked into his eyes. They were beautiful. Green with flecks of brown around the rings. Magnificento. Don't ask how I knew French.

"Sleep."

"Sleep?" I muttered and before I knew what was happening my eyes began to flutter, excess dopamine was released to my brain and I...

A hand touched my shoulders gently and I jumped. It wasn't intrusive or anything just powerful. I felt electricity run through me. What just happened?

I looked up and saw the strange man staring at me. There was something sinister in his eyes. " What?"

"We are here, let's go in." He said and my eyes traveled behind him. I was astonished by the large gate that I saw. It was designed like the medieval times. I glanced at him again and he lifted me in his arms.

"We have no time to waste." He muttered and his fresh minty breath assaulted my face.

I relaxed in his hands as he carried me inside the gate. But something was a bit confusing. Why did he have to park the car outside and walk? Weren't we supposed to be driven into the compound?

The gates opened automatically and I saw the largest house that I had ever seen. Calling it a house didn't cut it. I think it would have been better called a mansion.

"Is this your house?" I inquired and he shrugged softly. "It's beautiful."

He ignored me again and a thought finally flew into my mind. What was he trying to do? This house was too big for only me to clean. I wouldn't be able to cope. " Am I the only maid here?"

"I don't like too much talk, my pets don't like the noise either."

"What pets?" I inquired as he set me on my feet as we reached the main entrance.

He swiped his card, placed his eye in front of the small hole and tapped a button and the door opened. So much protocol for entering one's house. This means that I wouldn't be able to escape that easily.

We walked in and I took in the apartment, it was the state of the art. A soft drew away my attention and I turned in the direction of the sound. Two lions stared at me and I jumped into his arms.

What the hell?!
