Chapter 123
Unknown
Rosa’s breath grew erratic as the atmosphere was tense. The only sound that echoed in her ears was the wild beating of her troubled heart.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She swallowed the uncertainty that started to form in her throat, pushing it far back as she put on the garment of bravery.
Now wasn’t the time to back down.
It was now or never. There was no way she would let this golden opportunity slip off her hands.
Driven by courage, she took in sharp breaths, preparing herself for the worst before lifting her hands in the direction of the gadgets.
Stretching her fingers, she wasted no time in dropping them quietly on the phone and the wrist watch but her heart flew to her chest the moment a strong hand held her soft ones in a hard grip, followed by a deafening alarm sound that filled the air.
Alerted, she withdrew her hands at once before clasping them around her ears as the high pitch sound penetrated deep into her eardrums, causing a sharp pain in her head.
She was busted, and it meant trouble.
She knew it.
“Ahh!” she screamed, feigning ignorance as she pretended to be startled by the loud noise.
“Is that your alarm, Ray? Put it off, I need to sleep,” she muttered, stretching her body before placing a pillow beneath her head as she laid to sleep.
“You think I’m stupid?” Ray asked rhetorically, his harsh voice reverberated throughout the room.
“What?” Rosa asked innocently, masking her emotions as her face bled innocence.
“You must be a fool to think I didn’t come prepared.” A smirk appeared shortly on his face as he placed his watch and phone in a safe place before turning towards Rosa, whose heart was in her throat.
“Imagine eating with the devil. You have to make use of a long fork.”
“And who is the devil?” Rosa scuffed as a frown started to sit on her face.
“You are, Rosa.” He paused for a while before playing with his phone, twirling it around his large fingers.
“You see, I knew you would do this. You can’t resist the tempting decision to wipe off your evil records. Now, you will be punished severely.” He let out a dark laughter as his brows creased in a sinister manner.
Rosa could sense him cooking something for her.
Something she wouldn’t forget in a hurry.
She was screwed.
Rosa’s face scrunched up in pain.
She could feel sadness and anger sink into the bottomless abyss of her stomach. “Fuck me,” she muttered under her breath, turning her face to the otherside so that Ray wouldn’t hear.
But it was too late.
“That’s exactly your punishment,” he said as his eyes rapidly sparkled with glee.
“What?” Rosa shot him a confused look as her heart started to pound against her ribs.
She hoped he wasn’t in for another round of excruciating sex.
“Fuck yourself!” He ordered with a dark smirk. His eyes narrowed as he pinned them on her while his lips formed a thin line.
Rosa didn’t need anyone to tell her that she was in trouble.
“But I wasn’t trying to…” she tried to speak but her voice failed her. Tears had already started dropping from her eyes as another round of torture awaited her.
“Shut up, you bag of trash! Don’t make me lose my temper!” he yelled, molten rage boiled his blood as a vein in his forehead popped.
The atmosphere was dreadfully quiet, except for Rosa’s soft sob and her clattering teeth.
“Make yourself cum now!” he spat, staring at her with pure hatred.
He snaked his hand to the stand, grabbing his phone and unlocking it.
“But what the hell are you doing with your phone?” Her brows shot up as panic set through her.
Her mind went wild with thoughts, but she tried to compose herself.
“I will rephrase that. Mistress, lay flat on the bed and make yourself orgasm while I record it. Any form of hesitation will lead to your doom because I won’t spare a second before reporting you to the Kings,” he stated mischievously, his voice screaming impending danger as lust plastered his dark eyes.

Ray was done for the day. He headed out of the castle to his house as tiredness almost paralyzed him.
Light footsteps behind him sent him to a state of frenzy as he looked around him, but the area was covered in pitch darkness.
His heartbeat grew loud like war drums as he hastened his footsteps, but he soon tripped and fell as he lost his balance.
Before he could process what was going on, a couple of unknown men pounced on him, grabbing him and tugging at his shirt.
He struggled to wrestle against them but his strength was no match.
Defeated and exhausted, he laid on the floor with his body covered with sand and dust.
He was too weak to protest when they began to carry him to an unknown destination.
“Easy boys. He is our guest and we don’t rough handle our guests.” A strange baritone voice resonated in the darkness.
All Ray heard was a flick of fingers and the men holding him captured dropped his body on the floor like a bag of cement.
“Sorry for the way my boys treated you. They are not used to strangers.” He said before letting out a light chuckle.
Ray coughed weakly as particles of sand came in contact with his nose. He let out a sigh of relief when he noticed the men were retreating from him.
Several questions clouded his head, spiking his urge to peek, but he was met with thick darkness.
A powerful aura and the heavy stench of tobacco filled the air, making him submit. Ray knew he was lying before a powerful person.
“Help,” he tried to scream but his voice came out cracked.
Gathering his last strength before, he struggled to get on his knees but his wobbly knees gave way, making his body hit the floor.
A hysterical laughter pierced his ear, making him cringe.
“Save your strength, boy. No one will hear you.”
“Do you want tobacco?”
“No,” Ray said as his weak voice came in a whisper.
“Brandy?”
“Release me, I want to go home. Who are you people? What do you want from me?” he asked breathless in fear as anxiety spread within him, causing him to tremble.
“I want you to work for me.” His voice was filled with dread as he emphasized every word.
“What do you want me to do?”
“Kill Rosa and I will help you become whatever you want!”
