Chapter 5 - Curiosity
Dominic POV
Ever since I bought that girl, my conscience is troubled.I don't even know why I bought her in the first place but the way she reacted was new to me.
Ever since I can remember, everyone has always been afraid of me----of what I can do.But this Nova girl is different, she can look me in the eye and challenge me without batting an eyelid.
Today she took it too far and I had to teach her a lesson she'll never forget or so I thought--she didn't flinch when I whipped her nor did she show any sign of pain, maybe if I could have seen her face....
"Sir Lucinda wishes to see you."announced my butler breaking me out of my reverie.
I nodded in response. Then she came in, her form nothing like the prim and poise one she always has.
"Sir it appears your prisoner thinks she owns the place or something, she had the nerve to push me then she kicked me in the gut, I didn't retaliate because I was afraid of you." she said acting all royal and shit.
"And what must I do? " I asked indifferently
"Punish her or give me the permission to enact a punishment myself. "she said acting all prima Donna seriously what's her problem
All this while I was watching the video feed from the said persons room and what I saw was nothing she said instead I saw Nova steal her phone. Knowing Lucinda she probably hasn't noticed yet. But maybe she'll help me break Nova once and for all because as English has it, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
"Permission granted but do not cause any fatal wounds." I responded after some time.
She bowed and left with a creepy smile on her face.My name isn't Dominic for nothing, I will dominate all and everything.But I wonder why Nova isn't afraid of me, in a way it's annoying.
Nova POV
That's when the door opened and a person I didn't know walked in.
"You should know that Dominic is mine."she said
"Lady get off your high horse and get out."I said pushing her out. I have to call my sister.
I bolted the door from the inside.Then I took the phone.Luckily for me it has no password. I dialed the number and waited while it rang.It rang twice then it was answered.
"H..he..hello,w..who is this?"my little sister's cute voice answered.
"Nicky, it's me Nova." I said, tears welling in my eyes
"Big sis, Are you okay? "she said, her concern loud and clear.
"Ahh yes, I'll be there for you in a few weeks.How have you been, did you take your pills, are you eating ok? was stepmother horrible to you? "I asked, my brain working out the possibilities of everything.
"I'm fine, stepmother told me you died then she gave me two thousand dollars, she said that it was from the funeral policy, I thought I had lost you forever."She said inbetween sobs
Darned witch how dare she even after selling me she traumatizes my sweet innocent little sister.I swear the day I get her she'll pay for her sins.
"She always lies, don't worry about me. How much food, pills and water do you have? "I asked concerned
"I used the money I got from stepmother and restocked on Sunday so my supplies should last a month and a half. "she said, proud of herself
"YOU WHAT!!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT DANGERS YOU POSED TO YOURSELF?!! "I said, my voice a bit high
"I...I..I o..ordered online a....nd Mr Gertrude got them for me, you said I could trust him, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."she said while crying
I'm such a jerk, a big jerk.Mr Gertrude was my mother's best friend and is a pharmacist so it makes sense. I feel so stupid.
"I should have asked first, I'm sorry and I hope you can forgive me."i said my voice laced with regret
"it's okay, I forgive you.I hope I can see you soon sis.I miss you so so much."she said I'm her bubbly voice
"Big sis will..." I was cut off by a knock on the door.
"Bye Nicky, I'll call you when I get the time I have to go."i said then cut the call.
I looked at the screen, the call was two minutes long I put the phone on silent, to be safe then i looked around and saw a loose floorboard.I slid the phone inside then I opened the door.
It was the maid from earlier, the owner of the phone. She slapped me then she said..
"I'll show you the difference in our castes,David take her to the main torture room."
Then a huge burly man pulled me out the door.i didn't protest, I feel very faint.Come to think of it when was the last time I ate maybe two days ago, I didn't eat because I was thinking about my little sister.
He hurled me over his shoulder then walked down the hall and downstairs then behind the stairs he opened a door.It's a pretty big room and it has lots of sharp pointy things and blunt shiny things.
He threw me in a chair hurting my back in the process, I grunted in pain.
He simply ignored me then strapped me to the chair.Then he left, a while later the maid entered the room.
"You dared push me, one of Mr Dominic's favorite maid,his sister is my best friend I'll have you know.Now to commence punishment."she said, her hoarse voice surprisingly high.
"Do your worst."i replied, my consciousness fading.
She picked up a knife the she walked up to me.She cut my shirt then she sank the knife into my stomach.I gasped in pain.She pulled it out then back in again then she put it in my chest.Tears filled my eyes as I thought of my little sister.
Then I remembered when I was 14years old, stepmother was stabbing me just like this when father walked in and pushed her away,that was before he changed.
I felt my consciousness fading then the knife stopped moving and I was freed from the chair.
I felt someone lift me.I opened my eyes a bit and it was my dad.
"Daddy, w..why did you t....t..a.ke so long, she...w...o.u.l.d have kill...ed Nicole.Y.....you c....hanged.If I die.....sell my....parts a....and g...e..t N..icky treated t.....ell her.....i lo....ve he....r."i said in between coughs of blood then I passed out.
