Episode 13

Cali’s Pov:
Believe me or not, I felt my heart stop beating at that moment.

I felt my blood stop flowing and my lungs dry up immediately.

I swear – I did.

The rate of my heartbeat increased as that cold voice of his and pierced into my ears, touching the very depth of my soul.

I didn’t even realize he was keeping count of the seconds.

“Time up” he said again and immediately, I got a burning feeling on my skin.

Whaaaat??

“Arghhhhh” I shrieked and crawled out of the bed immediately as I feared my entire body might get caught in flames soon enough.

As soon as I was out of the bed, the burning stopped.

And now…I was standing in front of the King.

Oh! Cali, what have I done??

I panicked as I stood in front of him while he went to sit on the bed, still holding his glass of wine.

He sipped gently from the wine and looked at me.

Gosh! How can eyes this dark be so killing, huh?

“Look directly into my eyes again and I’ll make you go blind” he said icily and I quickly took my gaze to the floor.

Holy Christ!

Oh, mum! Where are you? Your daughter needs you now.

Where do I even start from?

“Now..” He said, staring into his glass
“I’m only gonna ask you once. What’re you doing in my room?”

My breath wavered as I fixed my gaze on the floor and sought for an appealing answer.

At that moment, I felt I’d forgotten the Alphabetical letters and couldn’t compose a sentence.

“If I have to repeat myself, you’ll be sorry for it” he said in his usual cold tone and I decided to say something – anything at all.

Gosh! I’m so dead.

“I’m…I’m sorry, please. I…didn’t mean to” I stuttered and he gave me a hard stare which I was able to decipher the meaning at once.

He wasn’t concerned about my apology, but the reason i was there.

“I….I’d come to get my necklace. I told you it was important to me” I replied nervously, trying as much as possible to avoid his eyes.

For a while, he didn’t say anything but just kept staring at his glass.

“You sneaked into my room” he scoffed
“Do you know what it means for that to happen?”

“I’m sorry. I…I…I promise, if you just let me go now, you’ll never see me again. Please. You…you can keep the necklace for now. I’m sorry, please”. I pleaded and tried running to the door, but immediately, I felt a heavy force sweep my feet off the ground and I screamed as I flew in the air and landed on the wall, getting pinned to it.

Oh my God!

My back!

My waist!

I groaned as I felt slight pains all over.

I was pinned to the wall with my hands spread apart and I couldn’t move.

Oh, God! What’s he doing to me?

He stood up from the bed and came to stand in front of me.

“I’m sorry, please” I whimpered but he didn’t say a word as he emptied his drink into his mouth, while keeping his eyes on me.

He kept the empty glass on the table and giving me one last stare, he left the room.

Naomi’s Pov:
I smoked angrily from my cigarette as I paced around the room, feeling so angry.

Gosh! I felt like strangling someone! Anyone!

I felt like frying someone’s brains.

“How dare she?” I snarled.
“How could she think of defiling my orders?? I sent for her and the best she could do was attack you?? How dare she?”

“Like seriously, I was shocked” Ivy said.
“First, she’d rebuffed our request of coming with us. And next, she used her banshee powers on us, making me hurt my arm”.

“That lady’s really a b***h. She’s just a newbie yet, she’s already acting bossy” Nathalie also said and my anger increased.

“I’ll ki*ll her” I clenched my teeth and said.
“Tomorrow by this time, she’ll be dead. Nobody messes with me and goes scott free. Nobody defiles the queen”.

Cali’s Pov:
I stayed pinned to the wall for a long time, my waist and joints hurting really bad.

My hands were already hurting as well as a result of the way they were forcefully spread apart and I just felt like crying.

What have I done to myself? I should’ve listened to Diane.

Now, see what I’ve done to myself. I can’t believe I’m going to learn the hard way.

Gosh!

I never thought I’d be this scared of someone. Just his mere gaze alone was melting my heart; not to mention his icy voice that played a rhythmical beat in my heart.

Where the hell was he by the way? Does he want to keep me this way forever? Is this punishment??

I sighed and looked up at the ceiling.

Gosh! If only I’d listened.

Suddenly, the door went open and the rhythm in my heart resumed as I narrowed my eyes to the side of the door and discovered he was the one.

Oh, God!

I made a short prayer in my heart as he walked pass me and went to sit on the bed and immediately, I fell from the wall and dropped hard on the floor.

Oh God!!

I bemoaned as i hurt my arm a little.

Why was he being so hard on me?

Now, what next?

“Come closer” he said calmly with his gaze into space.

Gosh! He speaks so calmly like he could never hurt a fly. But at the same, the resounding cold that echoed in his tone could make a dead man shiver.

Seriously, mere words cannot describe this guy. There’s simply no suitable description for him.

I slackened my steps to him, wondering what else he had in mind.
Maybe my next punishment would be to hang me on the ceiling and make me rotate like a fan.

God! I’m so dead.

I stood in front of him and felt the ground shake.

I couldn’t tell if it was real, but due to how nervous I was, I felt the ground was shaking.
God!

“Hand me the wine on the table” he said in that unruffled tone and i flinched.

Huh???

Did he just….

Hold on;
Did he just…

I was surprised but didn’t wait for him to repeat himself and immediately, I turned to the table, took the bottle of wine and handed it to him.

Holy Molly!

He uncapped it and gulped a reasonable quantity from it and I just watched in amusement.

But as soon as he brought it down from those pink lips, I quickly took my eyes to the floor again.

I already had a huge offence in front of me and wouldn’t want to double it.

He was silent for a while, making me wonder what he probably had in mind. If only I could read his thoughts.

“Take off your clothes” I finally heard him say.
