Chapter 56

“If mom was still alive then none of this would be happening to me.” I said to myself and looked around, when suddenly I heard the sound of the door unlocking and immediately got up from the floor, thinking that it was either Lucy or my dad returning, but it wasn't and it was the voices of strange men. I clutched the photo frame tightly as I understood that it was the voices of those people who came to my house this morning. They were Nolan’s men. The door opened and I backed away from them.

 “Oh… our sister in law is crying, Nolan will not like that.” The man who took my photo this morning said, as he entered the room, with a dirty smile on his face.

 “Why are you here?” I asked and he walked closer to me.

 “I am Nolan’s right hand. My name is Mason and I have come to take you to Nolan. He wants to meet you.” Mason said and I panicked.

 “NO, I am not going anywhere. Leave my house right now or I will call the police!” I shouted at them and lied about the police. I knew I had no phone, but they did not know that. I thought they would get scared when they heard me say police, but Mason gestured to one of the men who had a giant body and he started to come towards me and I screamed in fear. I tried to run, but he caught me in no time and threw me over his shoulder.

 He started to take me out of the house and all the time I was shouting for help. I tried to wriggle free, but the man was holding me like I weighed nothing. I was thrown in the back seat of the car and Mason sat beside me. I tried to run, but the doors were locked. They started to drive the car and my nightmare started. I looked at Mason who was looking straight at me.

 “Please let me go. I don’t want to go anywhere.” I pleaded with him, but he did not say anything and instead he had his phone in his hand and called someone.

 “Boss, her parents have fled, but our men will find them soon. I am bringing her to you.” Mason said and it was clear that he was talking to Nolan.

 “Yeah, she is looking fine, but it seems that bitch has slapped her, besides that her body looks fine.” Mason said, looking me up and down, sending chills all over my body. He was talking about my body and it was enough for tears to gather in my eyes. He cut the call and I started looking everywhere in a panic.

 “Please, let me go. I don’t want to go to your boss. I don’t want to meet anyone. I will not tell anyone that you let me go.” I begged, but he moved closer to me and I slipped back from him in fear.

 “Do you know what you are? You are the repayment for your father’s debt. He had signed the paper of his debt saying that you will become the kept woman for Nolan.” Mason said and I clutched my dress tightly after hearing him.

 “Kept woman?” I asked, but he just smiled now understanding that I don't know about it.

 “Yes, he will marry you but you will become a kept woman. Kept woman is maintained in a comfortable lifestyle by a wealthy man so that she would be available for his sexual pleasure. He can use you any time, anywhere, but you should not think that it is bad because he will get married to you because he likes you. You will provide him with what he wants, he will use you and you will live a comfortable life. That’s it.” Mason said and in other words I was going to become Nolan’s whore. I started crying when I heard the reality I was going to get.

 “Please let me go. I don’t want to become a kept woman. Why are you all doing this to me?” I begged, holding my hands together and pleading with him, but Mason just went silent. I suddenly saw a change in his eyes and it looked as if he was feeling bad, but he turned away from me.

 “It is your father’s doing. Blame him not anyone else. No one can help you, no one can let you go. If you try to run then you will die.” Mason said and after this he did not look at me. I was sitting in the car and silently crying, not knowing where I was going or what was going to happen to me when I got there. After a long time the car stopped and Mason got out, opening the door for me and I saw that it was a big mansion.

 There were too many bodyguards and If I went in there then I could not escape from here. As I did not come out, Mason pulled me out of the car and dragged me inside the mansion. I was looking around and the mansion was looking very dangerous. Mason took me upstairs and inside a room.

 “Boss will be here soon. He is with his other kept woman. Wait for him here and don’t forget what I told you. Don’t try to run or you will die.” Mason said and walked out of the room. I ran to the door and saw that he had locked it. I didn't bang on the door this time and just stayed there like he told me to, I didn't want to die. He said he will come in this room, which means I was going to be alone here.

 I looked around the room and there were condom packets, wine and cigarettes placed on the table. The bed was looked a mess like someone has had sex there. I closed my eyes to see that the bed had a used condom on it. Mason’s words again hit me and I was going to end up on that bed soon. Suddenly I heard the sound of the door unlocking and looked back to see the door open and a man come inside. He was tall and good looking, but as I saw the door close I was trapped inside the room with him. He had a cigarette in his hand and was looking me up and down. I turned my eyes from him and backed away from him in fear. I saw him sitting on the chair and he was silent for a long time, I did not say anything to him and remained standing far away from him.

 “Come here and pour me wine!” Nolan said, making me jump. He was ordering me as if I was his servant. I looked at him and his eyes were roaming all over my body. I didn't want to anger him by disobeying him and so I walked over and picked up the wine bottle. I started to pour the wine in the glass, but my hands were shaking in fear. I held the glass out to Nolan and he took it, touching my hand as he did so. I tried to pull my hand back, but he grabbed it and clutched it tightly, making me look at him.

 “My woman, no doubt you are beautiful. Perfect for my bed warmer.” Nolan said and I closed my eyes in fear.

 “No, I am not a bed warmer. You are thinking wrong about me. I am not your woman.” I said to him in a slow tone and cried in pain as Nolan clutched my hair tightly for daring to speak.

 “You are! Your father has decided your fate and fled with my money. I will soon catch him and kill him as his punishment. At the same time I will marry you tomorrow and will explain to you in my bed what you are to me!” Nolan snapped and his words broke my courage, but I still did not cry. I was not going to get anywhere by crying and he was going to take advantage of my tears. I could not show myself to be weak.
