I didn’t know if Elisa knew that Solis was disabled. Was it her own way of punishment? I checked my hair to see that the credit card was gone, the last time I checked it was secured.
My spine straightened as terror went through me raw.
“What is it?” Solis asked, I turned to him.
I had been sitting on the couch for what seemed like an eternity, even when he invited me to his large beautiful bed.
I turned away from him, refusing to meet his eyes or acknowledge him.
“Are you hungry?”
“Are you asking me that because I looked like a fucking skeleton?”
“Yes”
No sugarcoating… I remembered what Ruiz said, he would send me to the butcher, I didn’t care.
“Well, before you decided to… Rescue me, I was starving to death”
My words seemed to touch him in some way.
“Are you hungry?” He asked me again, my stomach grumbled.
“No” I said, I would not swallow my pride…
He went through his phone and called someone.
Ruiz came moments later with food, my mouth watered and yet I didn’t want to eat because I knew I wouldn’t be slow with the food.
I didn’t want to be seen in my helplessness.
“Eat, you’ve got a baby to feed” he said and it wasn’t a request.
I ate the food, not minding that his eyes were on me. I grabbed the water and took an unreasonable amount, I wiped my lips with the napkin and looked up at Solis.
His face was devoid of any expression.
“The bathroom is over there, would you like a shower or bath?”
“Are you saying that I’m dirty?”
His lips curled up in a breath taking smile.
“Maybe” he said, amusement in his eyes.
I turned to the door he pointed at and I knew I had to get out of the days old clothes, my skin was itching.
“I need new clothes”
“I’ll send for Greta”
“Who is Greta?”
“She’s a help, very efficient help”
I stood up and went to the bathroom, I made sure to lock the door.
When I got out, Solis was on the bed, his wheelchair was beside him and the room was dark, I didn’t know if hew was asleep.
“The clothes are on the table, by your left” his deep voice filtered through the room.
I dressed in silence.
“Where is my room?”
“This is your room, Jenna” he said sleepily.
“I’m not laying with you on that bed”
“Suit yourself, you can lay on the floor or chair, anywhere that’s comfortable ”
I laid on the floor and after thirty minutes, I still couldn’t fall asleep. My back was killing me. I went to the chair and although it wasn’t big enough, I curled up on it and forced my eyes shut.
When I woke up in the morning, I was proud of myself for not succumbing to the man’s bed but my neck was sore. I couldn’t turn to my right.
The room was empty but not for long, Ruiz walked in and stopped short when he saw me.
I hated him, he brought me here.
“Good morning”
“Where is my credit card?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about”
“Don’t try play dumb, Ruiz. I knew you took it”
He smiled softly.
“I did. I took it, you wouldn’t be needing it, now that you’re here. You can ask Solis for anything and he’ll give you”
As if he was summoned, he came into the room, a tall blonde girl was pushing him in, on her face was a small contented smile.
“Willy, this is Jenna ” Solis said introducing us.
I stared at the Willy and she stared at me. She was beautiful in an unconventional way, so beautiful. Her eyebrows were as blonde as their hair on her head, her eyes were sky blue and her lips were small.
“This is the pregnant one?” Willy asked, an accent was heavy on her tongue.
“Her name is Jenna, Willy” Solis said sternly and she nodded.
“Nice to meet you, Jenna” she said to me but she was nothing but pleased.
She turned and left the room, my eyes followed her out.
Ruiz walked into a door that I supposed was a closet but when he didn’t come out, I thought differently. I was left alone with Solis , I turned to see him watching me.
“What?” I spat acidly.
“Ruiz” he called, seconds later Ruiz appeared.
“Her hair, I want it shorter, no where below her shoulders but no above her chin”
“If you fucking touch my hair, I’ll stab you in your sleep” I told Solis.
He smiled as if I had dared him to eat my pussy.
“Call the hair dresser, now”
“What is wrong with my hair, what?!”
“Man have preferences”
“Go to hell, I had a fiance and he didn’t make me change anything about my body”
“You had a fiance… I like how you have come to accept that he’s in your past”
When Solis’s hit me, I felt ashamed of myself, for pushing Christian in the past.
The hairdresser came and I sat still as the scissors chopped and chopped. It was my punishment, I let the woman cut it off as a punishment.
“Yes.. perfect ” Solis said and the woman’s chopping stopped.
She started doing the other things but I felt dead, I didn’t even choose to stare at the mirror when it was presented in front of me
I didn’t remember walking down the stairs for breakfast, but I remember sitting with the other girls. I remember hearing them laughing at something every now and then, my food sat in front of me, untouched.
“Jenna sits like a ghost” A small feminine voice said and everyone laughed but it wasn’t funny.
And when I was here yesterday, I thought that this man has forced them to be here, like me. But it was obvious that there were no guards here to make sure the girls don’t run, they were here on their own.
