Chapter 10

She had on a red long flowing gown, holding between her long beautifully manicured finger a long glass filled with wine.her lip was painted deep red and her long hair flowed freely down to her waist.the long dress was transparent such that her cleavage could be seen through the dress.

She sat on the large bed sipping gently from the glass and admiring the room not like a stranger or a first timer but as the owner who is well satisfied with her taste and handwork.this could be known from the satisfied grin on her beautiful face.She sipped again from the glass and unwillingly went down the bitter memory lane which made up her life.

The crowd booed loudly and threw different objects at her standing on the stage.she bent her head and allowed the tears which had welled up in her eyes to roll down her cheeks.

  "Who will buy her!?"he yelled swaying unsteadily on his feet.

She took a peek at the man who was said to be her father, she was so disheartened and disoriented.she shut her eyes hoping to shut out the voice playing dangerously in her head.

  "Stop!?"she yelled but they were oblivious to that desperate little voice in plea.

  "Stop!!!?she yelled loudly again her eyes flashing dangerously round the crowd,she was definitely loosing it and she could no longer hold it in.

The crowd had gone silent for a brief moment but had suddenly resumed the noise going wild and attacking her by throwing objects at her.she covered her face with her arms but she could hear the loud cackle of the man who stood beside her.

  "Stop being childish Maria,you can't get married because you are ugly so am giving you out".

  "But why?"she wept

  "Because that will be the only way I can gain something from the witch who killed my wife".he yelled his eyes bulging out from their socket red with anger and pure hatred.

Was it her fault that her mom had given up during childbirth?,was it her fault that she looked dried up and skeletal in nature?,just that she had not gotten any good thing to eat,no peace of mind and she was always crying.she was bullied everywhere,the Inn she was working in was no different.the men had effortlessly proven how detestable they were.

She wiped her eyes defiantly making up her mind to face her fate,she allowed her head to rest on her chest as she avoided eyes contact from the crowd.

  "Five hundred thousand for her"a proud arrogant voice rose above the loud crowd and all fell silent.even she could not surpress the irresistible urge to steal a glance at the man who thought she was worth that huge amount.

He was cute, really cute with perfectly chiseled jaw and wonderful lips.his blue eyes twinkled brightly and his hands found its way to his pocket looking cool and hot.her mouth drooped she would readily go with that man even if it was for free and for that moment she believed she was in love.

She sighed sadly as she ran her hands on the duvet,she sipped from the glass again as hot tears welled up in her eyes but she blinked furiously determined not to let it have its way.it was in this very room and on this very bed that she found out the monster who had bought her. He was a miserable masochist.

She was sleeping when she felt the hand running from her leg up to her thigh,her eyes was still tightly shut as she paid close attention to what her body was feeling.this hand was sending tingling sensation through her body that she was supposed to enjoy but unfortunately the hand stopped.

She sighed softly and decided to go back to sleep when she felt that pain seething dangerously through her body,she yelped and sprung up in surprise getting ready to lash out at whoever or whatever had done that to her when she came face to face with Johnson,her billionaire husband or say her billionaire owner.

Without warning,he took pleasure in hurting and raping her.you know, being intimate with your partner without permission was classified as rape but this was worst than that he had wounded and hurt her badly, leaving within her that deadly scar that still hurt her from time to time.

She sighed again heavily,this was the beginning of her fall from glory,no,her return to the grass.the few blissful moment she had have been stained by the monster she had been sold to,though almost willingly.

Her name was Maria Johnson,he had given her the grace of taking up his name and thankfully after his departure from this world she had taken everything that came with the name. Now a young widow,she needed love and her heart had suddenly found Lycan but he was too cold and she was all out to break that ice.

She was standing by the window now overlooking the driveway,she wondered if Lycan would abandon what he was doing for this ordinary girl which he had bought from the auction.one thing for sure was that Lycan never lost a dim without accounting for it and she was worth a million dollars. Pushing the doubts to the back of her mind she decided to just hope.

The alarm beside the bed chimed at exactly 10pm,she looked at it and sighed disappointedly. But then,she saw tail lights this renewed her hope and she stared hopefully at the door as it opened.it was Lycan.

She could not surpress the happiness and the dreadful desire that surged through her slender body,she watched as he looked round the compound before proceeding into the house.she went over to the bed and dropped the glass on the table and layed on the bed seductively waiting for his entrance.she knew he would come in any minute as she had already instructed the servants to show him in.

She heard the door knob click,first his head appeared with his cold eyes darting round the room.

  "Come in"she said in a seductive whisper biting her lips.

He walked in and stood before her in front of the bed,he stuck his hand into his pocket as his cold gaze bored into hers.she flinched initially but stared back defiantly.

  "Come to me Lycan,I missed you"she whispered again

  "Cut the crab Maria,where is she?"his voice was as cold as his gaze and he regarded her with disgust.but she was past shame,this woman here was beyond shame so she simply laughed and layed back on the bed using the pillow to prop up her back.

  "Lycan,you know why I called you here"

  "To satisfy your lust bitch".

  "You may be right but partly".she crawled from the bed over to where he stood.while kneeling on the bed she was few inches away from his lips,she allowed her hands to run over the fabric he put on as she maintained contact with him.

  "Love me back Lycan"she said as her eyes pleaded seductively.

  "I will only use you and dump you bitch"he said between his teeth.

But she was already overcome with lustful desires as their mouth met in a passionate French kiss.
