Chapter 21 Punishment 2

Alex placed the weapon back into his pocket, and I let out a sigh of relief. I needed to be careful with words right now cause of that little monster in his pocket. I walked behind him quietly so my steps would not be heard, as I glanced at his pocket from time to time.

He paused in his steps as we were about to reach the door, i wondered why he stopped. No he didn't change his mind did he? I can't stay in this room one more minute, not after what I heard. He turned around sizing me with his eyes and I met his gaze, dwam right now.

"Go get changed Hazel, there's no way were going out in that!" He said. I looked at my outfit quizzically, then i realized I was still in my pajamas. "You have five minutes!" He ordered. "Five minutes? What I'm I suppose to wear in such time, my lingerie?" I said sternly making Alex smiled mischievously, "I would love to see you in those?" He said.

"I.. I'll go get changed, give me five minutes!" I said as I left hurriedly into the closet. It was hard to select an outfit out of many. I searched and searched till I found the clothes I thought was perfect. It was a blue skinny jeans, a white dickey (polo shirt), a white sneakers and my purse. I went all casual, letting my black hair down my back.

I walked back into the room, "I'm done!" I said to the man sitting on the couch lost in his thoughts. My words broke him off his daze, as he darted his gaze to me and he studied my outfit for a few seconds without a word. "Alex can we go now? I know your eyes can't let go of this beauty. But you can look at me all you want when we get back to New York!" I said confidently.

"What are you wearing?" He asked quizzically. I was astonished by his reaction, "Did you practice being this ugly? You look more like a stick. You lack all the feminine characteristics in you.!" He laughed sardonically. I was sure I studied my appearance in the mirror over and over again to be sure I was okay. I bit my lips hard, sure he must have won this time but I'd prepare a comeback that would hurt him pretty bad too.

I smiled bitterly at his words, he really got to me this time. For the first time in my life I became conscious of my appearance. This man was taunting me physically, mentally and emotionally, and at this point my hate for him just doubled.

We walked out of the huge mansion, there were more than five black helicopters in the yard with pilots in each of them ready to fly. I darted my gaze around as if searching for something, actually I really wanted to know where we were. That was when I realized we were on an island, yes Alex's private island. My eyes widened in surprise.
