Arianna’s POv
I swallowed the fear that had started crawling on my skin. I shouldn’t have played with a man like Gabriele.
“You are just trying to scare me…” I breathed hoping he would stop coming at me.
But his smirk only grew wider as he kept coming at me with slow painfully scary steps.
I had never planned to be taken in this manner by a man. Especially not a man who happened to have kidnapped me.
“This looks like Halloween to you?” He asked me as he got close enough to touch my hair.
I had hit the wall and there was nowhere to run. I stared at the ground, refusing to stare into his eyes. This was surely a nightmare. If I ignored him it would go away.
“Answer!” He hit the wall by my right and I shuddered.
I took a deep breath and stared into his eyes. Suddenly, I felt calm. This was a joke.
“What happens if I don’t?” I asked, corking my head to the side.
His eyes darkened at my question and I knew I had made a mistake.
Before I could make up for my mistake, the sound of tearing fabric filled the room as I realized my shirt was now in shreds.
“Gabriele!” I cried out in horror.
“Too late to beg now!”
Before I could comprehend what he meant, he picked me from the ground with one arm and led me to the lounge where a large sofa sat so diligently waiting for my doom.
“Let me go you asshole!” I yelled and fought him.
But my struggles could only be compared to an elementary school child fighting a bodybuilder -they were useless.
He threw me on the sofa and before I could flip away he caged me under his body.
He tore my pants open and I regretted my choice of clothes for this mission of mine.
The cotton material came to lose in seconds. The next pull left me in my underwear.
“Beautiful,” He whispered as he stared at me.
My heart was beating so loud, I could barely hear my screams as I fought him off.
“Let me go!” I screamed pushing him off but it was like I had given him my hands to put together.
He pulled them behind me like he had done earlier and my chest was left exposed for him to explore.
I tried moving my legs and they were numb as he held them together with his knees.
“Let me go!” I cried out as tears of frustration actually leaked out of my eyes.
He made me immobile and brought his lips to my cleavage. My heart changed rhythm and I hated to admit the tightening between my legs.
He kissed my cleavage, taking his time to make sure he left a mark on every spot his lips touched.
His kisses left tiny sensations of pleasure that made my toes curl as desire coursed through me.
The man was practically about to rape me and my body was responding to it.
Tears pulled at my eyes as the conflict in my body only intensified. The anticipation and tension were killing me.
I wanted him to stop but my body wanted him to continue kissing my chest… Even lower till he got to my nipples.
He moved his mouth to the edge of my bra and pulled it away to expose my hardened pink nipple.
“Hmmm… Maybe this punishment isn’t working. I should probably suck on this…” He said huskily.
I felt a shiver start from my chest and collapse down to my stomach where it turned to multiple butterflies. My body ached silently begging him to take me.
Yet my brain screamed how wrong this was.
This man was going to rape me. He bought me and now he was going to use me like the cheap commodity I was.
My heart ached.
This wasn’t happening.
“Please… Stop!” I cried as more tears streamed down my eyes.
He stopped edging to my nipple and stared at me.
“What did you come searching for?”
I sniffed and closed my eyes.
“I came to search for my file,” I whispered in a small broken voice.
“What?” He asked in a soft voice that was almost soothing.
“I am not a criminal. I am trying to sell you out to anybody!” I sobbed even harder.
“I just want to know who sold me out… I just want to know who put me in this situation…”
I felt him slip off me and I quickly pulled my legs up to try and cover myself up.
“Why is that so important to you?” He asked in the same tone.
“I was only coming to see my parents… My grandparents thought it wouldn’t be safe but I assured them that nothing bad would happen… Now, look at me?”
My entire situation just washed over me and the tears kept coming out. I was a sex slave for a man I barely knew.
I was trapped forever in this place with no hope for a future. I was stuck here! Ruin for eternity!
“Ahnn…” I cried to my knees.
I had planned to start a career somewhere in the world. Wherever the winds of fate led me… I never thought it would lead me to slavery.
I felt a warm hand on my back and I sniffed away my tears. They refused to stop but I tried to control myself still.
“I can’t tell you who sold you, Arianna,” he whispered.
“Why?” I asked, raising my head.
He kissed his teeth and got off the couch. He walked to where he had dropped his pants and slid them on.
“It will only make you cry even more… And I have just realized that I hate your tears,” he hissed.
There was a scowl on his face as he finished with his pants and took his shirt.
“Besides, what you seek isn’t here. I don’t keep files like that here,” he said and I blinked hard as I felt like a punch had been thrown at my chest.
“Stay here, I will send Sofia to get you,” he added before slipping out of the room leaving me to my tears.
I dropped my head back to my knees and cried some more.
Who could it be that had done this to me? Why would he think I would cry even more if I knew who it was?
Could it have been the driver?
No, they had almost killed him as well. He couldn’t have made such a deal.
I had to know who had sold me. I just couldn’t let it go. If I was going to be stuck here for life, then I needed to at least know who had brought this upon me.
I would have to talk to Gabriele again. Maybe, he would tell me if I explained properly.
All I wanted was to be in my room and close my eyes forever. I wished I could say goodbye to this cruel world and never return.
But that would be selfish. My grandparents, my parents… They must all be so worried about me.
Besides, there was no way I could return to my room with my lingerie. My clothes were in shreds and the only thing I could do was wait.
Could Gabriele ever let me even talk to them?
My tears eventually stopped and I stared into space as I waited for Sofia to come.
I stayed there for almost twenty before the door cracked open and Sofia popped her head in.
“Arianna?” She asked in her worried voice.
“Hey,” I said weakly.
“Oh my God,” She exclaimed as her eyes found me cornered into the couch.
“What happened?” She asked but as she saw the pieces of my clothes on the floor she covered her mouth in horror. “Oh my God!”
I saw the fear in her eyes and I knew what she was thinking.
“He didn’t do it…” I replied to her unasked questions.
She came close to me and raised my face. She turned my face to the side and raised my hands to check for any marks.
“Oh Thank goodness,” She whispered as she confirmed that I had indeed not been raped.
“Did you bring me some clothes, I want to get out of here,” I told her.
“Yes, yes, I did-” she rushed.
She brought out the robe she was holding and passed it on to me.
“I didn’t want to bring actual clothes cuz I feared it might be difficult for you to wear them. The master only told me to bring you a change of clothes and that I should be gentle with you,” She said.
Only her last sentence interested me out of everything she had blurted.
“He told you to be gentle with me?” I asked her.
“Yeah, he did. He said you were hurt and you needed a friend. What did he do to you?”
“Plus what are you even doing here? Did he call for you?” She asked before I could answer the first question.
