Chapter 47: Defiant!

The man titled 'Monsignor' got up in annoyance and pointed at Alex, "Take her to the Chadwas mansion. She will be one of the concubines there..."

He turned and wanted to walk away.

The other policemen realized the weight of that punishment.

They turned to look at Alex with pitiful glances. They started making faces, trying to convince her to choose the option of being his 'plaything' rather than being a concubine in the Chadwas mansion.

Alex ignored them completely as another two policemen held her by either side of her shoulder and led her out.

Alex didn't care about anything else, all her mind could think about was Azrael.

She felt within the pit of her stomach that he was alive, yet the claim by the man titled 'Monsignor' that he was dead scared her.

All through the time that Alex was transported in the police van from the police station all the way to the Chadwas mansion, she wasn't aware of any of that, her mind was completely preoccupied with wild thoughts.

All she could picture was Azrael.

The Police van stopped in front of the Chadwas mansion. Alex was jolted awake from her thoughts by a shove from the policemen.

She looked up at the policeman and wondered what was going on.

The policeman on the left had a pitiful look on his face. "We are at the Chadwas Mansion, you will be living here from today to serve your 1-year service..." The policeman spoke and pulled Alex to her feet.

Alex didn't resist the pull and followed his every direction.

Outside the van was the man titled 'Monsignor' waiting with his arms folded.

Alex was guided out of the van to where he stood. The man looked at Alex and gave a smirk, "You could have been living a much better life with me, but you chose to be stubborn, you will love it here don't worry..." The man titled 'Monsignor' had a disdainful facial expression.

"Follow me..." He instructed the two policemen flanking Alex.

The policemen took Alex by each arm and led her toward the mansion while following behind the 'Monsignor'.

Alex was led in and at a larger side of the living room was a swivel chair whose back was turned to those coming in.

It had black, buttoned upholstery with dotted designs. Sitting on the chair was a man with greyish-white hair.

He suddenly turned the chair around and his gaze was intense as he stared down at the people present.

The two policemen felt like their internal organs were being scrutinized by the intense stare of this man.

"Monsignor," The man said as he focused on the Monsignor.

The Monsignor cleared his throat and moved to the side to make room for Alex.

"Sir Chadwas, I brought you a gift..." The Monsignor said as he stretched his hand to Alex.

The man was indeed Chadwas Bayrus, the ruthless ruler of the pocket dimension.

He was short and stout with Hazel eyes.

He has to use leg extensions to appear taller as he sat.

He got up while focusing on Alex.

He was mesmerized by the beauty of Alex and couldn't help but admire her.

"Hmmm," Chadwas made a deep wordless sound. He moved from his seat and took a couple of steps toward Alex.

He was just as tall as a little above Alex's waist level.

Alex was staring at him as if staring down a rat.

As Alex was standing, she suddenly felt something soft on her bum. She turned her head and noticed that the short man was squeezing her butt.

She slapped his hand away in anger.

Chadwas Bayrus frowned at that and looked up at Alex's face, and then at the Monsignor, "It seems your gift needs to be taught some manners..." He spoke before he waved away the Monsignor, giving his permission for him to leave.

The Monsignor didn't respond but instead turned and started to walk out. The two policemen also followed closely.

Chadwas Bayrus snapped his fingers and two hefty men immediately appeared and stood at both sides of Alex.

"No...Noooo" Alex shouted and started to back away, but the two men grabbed her by each arm tightly.

"Take her to join the others... I'm sure in a week, she would lose her pride..." Chadwas spoke with his usual stern expression and went to sit down.

Alex was bundled out of the room and taken to another building.

Inside the building were a lot of women. They were all staring at Alex like she was a clown who came to display her skills.

"Another one..." Said a woman who rolled her eyes.

"This one is going to break in a week" Another female interjected.

"I bet she will break in two days after meeting the chief maiden" a woman in pink nightgown silk laughed.

"I give her a few hours..." Another said.

While they were laughing and jesting, a tall woman came, flanked by two other women, all looking like soldiers.

The woman threw a basket of dirty clothes at Alex. Alex didn't catch it and allowed it to miss her and hit the floor, it then poured out.

The woman walked menacingly towards Alex while looking at the clothes that poured out of the basket.

"Pick those up...." The woman commanded while staring daggers at Alex.

"You threw that, you pick those up..." Alex replied with a strong gaze.

The woman turned the back of her hand and smacked Alex across the face.

The slap stung so painfully and Alex had to stagger back and fall on her butt.

There were about 30 other women present in the room. Most of them were snorting and laughing silently while trying their best to restrain their laughter.

"Give her 30 minutes tops, she will break, you owe me 20 dollars..." A woman whispered to another.

Alex felt like her face had been smashed in as she endured the stinging pain.

At this point, she knew if Azrael were around, she would never be treated this way. She thought about him and tears fell down her cheeks.

"I won't repeat myself, Pick those up..." The chief maiden spoke again with a commanding tone that was demanding not to be questioned but obeyed.
