Chapter 51

(The story will return to chapter 1 but from Eros Robinson's perspective)

I slammed my spoon and fork in random directions as Freshia ran away from me, trying to escape for the umpteenth time. she really couldn't be loved and constantly fueled my emotions. I was just about to be nice to her, but again she tried to run away from me. Did she think it would be that easy to escape from my house? Just try it, Freshia. I said to myself. Then I took my cell phone which was in my jacket pocket to contact John who was in the yard.

“Freshia ran out of the house. Search for her until you can and tighten all security around the house! Let me know what updates will come soon." I ordered John on the phone.

"Ready to go, sir," John exclaimed from across the phone.

After that, I immediately got up from my seat and went to a room where there were many monitors. I tried to find Freshia in the CCTV footage installed in all corners of this house. And found her running back into the house. I laughed a little seeing that. Apparently, she just wanted to play around, huh? I thought. I continued to follow her footsteps which were recorded on camera until finally she stopped right in front of my bedroom door, then immediately went inside before my men got there. I smiled again and rushed to my room to catch up with her. If she wants to play, then I will grant it.

I took my cell phone and called John again. "Before answering, move yourself away from where you are now standing," I said as soon as the phone was answered. “I already know where Freshia is. Now you are in front of my room, aren't you?" I continued.

"Yes sir. What should we do next?” John answered.

“Open the door to my room without making the slightest sound. Then later when you see me get there, tell me that you didn't manage to find Freshia. After that, you leave there to look for it elsewhere. Do you understand, John?”

“Understood, sir.”

"Yes, do it now and wait for me there," I said then immediately hung up the phone.

When I arrived in front of my room, I saw that the door to the room was wide open as I had ordered John to do. Then John did everything I had instructed him on the phone. And not long after, he and several of my other men left me. I leaned against the door of my room and faced into the room. Guessing where Freshia was hiding. A few minutes later, I heard a sound coming from one of my wardrobes. Gotcha! I said to myself. I smiled slightly at the wardrobe, waiting for someone who was playing hide and seek to come out of there.

Sure enough, not long afterward I saw Freshia come out of there and looked so surprised to see me who was waiting for her at the door. "Have you had enough of playing hide and seek, darling?" I said accompanied by a grin.

Then, I walked towards her slowly but surely. Apart from that, I locked her gaze with my very intimidating gaze, making her not move. Freshia stayed where she was and immediately fell when there was almost no distance between us. I aligned my body with her, then tightly gripped her face which was already full of tears. The fact that I adore so much, but now I really want to hurt.

“Where else do you want to run off to, huh? Can't you just shut up and just enjoy the love I give you? Always remember Freshia, even if you manage to leave this house, I will definitely be able to find you because when I really love something, I will never let it go!" I shouted loudly in front of her.

After that, I immediately grabbed one of her arms so she stood up and I took her out of my room to the first floor. Near the stairs, I saw several of my men, including John. Then I threw Freshia's body and she fell near where John was standing.

“Close her eyes! Then take her to the cage! She must feel deterred after trying so many times to escape from this house.” I ordered all my men who were there.

Freshia has been in a cage in the basement of my house for three days, which is used to punish anyone who betrays me. My emotions were at their peak and I wanted her to really be deterred and know who she was really dealing with. Not long after that I heard someone knocking on my office door from outside. I immediately invited her to come inside and Ivanka appeared from behind the door.

“Sorry to interrupt your time, sir. I just want to report to you that since Miss Ava was confined until now, she has not consumed any of the food that has been provided except mineral water and milk, Sir. I'm worried that her health will be affected," said Ivanka.

I sighed after hearing the report. “Keep giving her the most delicious and complete food. That's her problem if she still refuses to consume it."

"Yes, sir."

Then, Ivanka came out of my room and I decided to immediately contact George. “Hello, George.” I was greeted when I heard George's voice on the other side of the phone.

“George, I want you to start preparing what I asked you to do earlier. Freshia is acting up again and it's getting worse. I want you to prepare a sedative for her later. But before that, I want you to prepare in advance for something that might happen. I'm locking Freshia in an underground cage, so if something unexpected happens, I'll immediately contact you so you can come here immediately."

“Hey, you're crazy, Eros! Why did you have to lock her up in a place like that? Realize that Freshia is someone you like, whose heart you want to win. She is not your enemy, Eros! I think you should think again if you plan to keep her locked up there. Remember that Freshia has experienced quite severe trauma, don't let that trauma reappear and get worse, Eros."

“She must be deterred, George. I always monitor it. But I still want to teach her a lesson. She must know who she is dealing with. I really like her, but that doesn't mean she can continue to act as she pleases me," I said to George. But he was silent and I only heard the sound of him breathing on the other side.

***

Today Freshia has been in prison for seven days and I received a report that during those seven days, she still did not touch any of the food provided for her, except for mineral water and a glass of milk. Worry started to fill my heart and I thought seven days was enough time to deter her. Therefore, I decided to let Freshia out of confinement.

I immediately gave orders to a servant and several of my subordinates to take Freshia back to her room. With the condition that she has to wear a blindfold because I don't want her to know where the room is. I don't think it's time for her to know the ins and outs of all parts of this house.

After that, I also ordered several other servants to dress Freshia and prepare her to have dinner with me later. George is right. After all, she is a woman I like, so I shouldn't spend too long giving her such a harsh punishment. Apart from that, my longing to see her face can no longer be contained. I want to meet her soon.
