619 Have His Way
It wasnât until Natalie found herself in the shower that she realized just how dirty she was. No wonder the shop owner accused her of being a thief â although she technically did steal â she looked like a beggar.
It wasnât surprising, Daniel left her all by herself â he wouldnât see her in her dirty condition. New clothes were made available for her and by the time Natalie was done luxuriating in the bathroom, she was invited down for dinner.
Her stomach was currently a bundle of nerves and Natalie mentally prepared herself to meet Daniel. But to her greatest surprise, Daniel wasnât even present for dinner; she was all by herself.
However, that wasnât the end.
Although there was practically a feast prepared for her on the table, the utensils were missing. Surely, this was a mistake or something.
Natalie turned to the babysitter that had been following her around since she arrived.
âI donât see any utensils,â She complained to the man, expecting answers.
âItâs the bossâs orders,â He said.
âWhat do you mean by that?â She frowned. Natalie had a feeling she wasnât going to like the reasons for withholding her spoon, fork, and knife from her.
.....
âThree years ago, you murdered one of our own with a mere shar. You can say this is the boss taking a safety precaution,â He told her, and that only made her anger increase.
Damn, that was one of her plans crossed off the list. Natalie had been planning to slip a knife without any of them knowing and then, when Daniel came to find her later, she would stab him in the neck, and bam! Heâs dead. Sadly, that wasnât going to happen.
She banged her hand on the table, rattling the dishes, âSurely, you donât expect me to eat with my hands, right?â Natalie asked, looking at the man. But the apathetic look on his face gave her the answer.
The man sneered at her, âAfter you killed one of our own, you should be grateful that the boss didnât bring you in chains and shackles!â
Natalie chuckled mockingly, âOh trust me, Iâm quite honored,â her smile vanished, âYouâre angry over one of your own that was murdered by me for trying to hold me captive when youâve had enough blood on your hands. So yeah, Iâm in awe of your hypocrisy,â
He glared at her, his jaw clenched tightly with his fist clenched by his side. Natalie took advantage of that opportunity to taunt him further.
âBut of course, as angry as you are, you canât do anything to me because heâs the boss and Iâm under his protection. So if youâre that angry, run to your boss like the pussy you are and state your case. â She finished.
âShut up!â He growled at her.
If eyes were lasers, Natalie knew that he would have cut her into pieces with his power beams. Her words got to him and he was trying so hard to curtail his anger else he lay a hand on her and went against the bossâs order.
Their fear of Daniel must be quite real because he calmed down instantly and didnât react to her provocation anymore as Natalie expected.
âEat now!â He ordered and had his back turned to her.
Eat with her hands like a dog, Natalie refused. However, she had not eaten for days and when the tantalizing smell of the well-prepared food wafted into her nose, she couldnât stand it anymore. She was so hungry, having not taken good food for days.
Even with her hands, Natalie didnât gracefully eat the food, she gobbled it all up. She was so hungry and who knows if Daniel would decide to starve her as punishment. So yeah, she was going to eat as much as she could now.
What if it was poisoned? Natalie thought as much. But then, hunger presides over a sense of reasoning. She would eat to her heartâs content and consider the consequences later. So Natalie wiped everything on the table and there wasnât a crumb remaining.
However, Natalie shouldnât have eaten much because she ended up throwing up half of her stomach contents in the toilet. By the time Natalie was done, it was very late and she had to settle for bed. She couldnât tell which one was worst, the fact that Daniel hasnât talked to her or the fact she hadnât laid her eyes on him since in the car.
It made Natalie feel uncomfortable. It kept her in suspense. She had no idea what Daniel was thinking, or doing! What does he have in plan for her? Natalie hated the fact she was kept in the dark; she didnât know what to expect.
But not for long....
Natalie didnât mean to sleep, but exhaustion took a toll on her and she ended up asleep. After weeks of running away from Daniel and being on the edge, her body had suffered long enough and needed rest.
It was a peaceful rest until Natalie felt hands on her body. She jerked up at once only to see Daniel hovering over her and her soul nearly flew out of her body.
âW-what are you doing?â Natalie was uncomfortable and afraid of his proximity. She didnât like this. He was supposed to be asleep, not to sneak into her room at this unholy hour.
âNatalie...sweet Natalie, you donât know how much I missed you,â Daniel mumbled and the stench of alcohol hit her nose.
âGod! Get away from me, youâre drunk!â Natalie tried to push him away, but her strength was no match for him.
âWhy?â Daniel sneered in her face, âSo you can run from me again? Thatâs not going to happen, Natalie. Youâre all mine now,â He declared before pushing her back down to the bed forcefully as she screamed. He quickly grabbed her ways and pinned them above her head.
âNo, Daniel!â Natalie begged him to let her go, but her request fell on deaf ears.
That night, Daniel had his way with her.
