The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

I rushed to my room and packed my luggage. Thankfully, there were small bags available for times like this. I rushed back to the building the auction was held in.

There were more people at the entrance. Madam Tayo was nowhere to be found.

Madeline and Jade didn't give me a good look when they saw me. I didn't care.

I ignored them. Alas, even if I didn't look for trouble, trouble would always look for me.

I wanted to push the door and go in.

My hand landed on the door knob.

"Edna, what are you up to?" Madeline's displeased voice came, "Madam Tayo said we are here to strengthen each other but you and I both know things are not like that. We are supposed to watch you before you do something stupid." Her words weren't too surprising.

When Madam Tayo mentioned Madeline and Jade, I knew she wanted to restrain me. She was basically sending an extra layer of monitoring sentries after me.

I didn't mind. The more people are available, the merrier it will be. It would increase the chance of my escape being successful.

Madeline's smug face was almost shoved into my face. Her condescending look was annoying and funny at the same time. She didn't know what is in store for her.

She was still riding the high of being trusted by Madam Tayo.

What a pity.

"Well, good luck with watching me. I don't plan on acting out of line in the first place. I hope you took something to cure your boredom. It is needed because that is what you are going to be stewing in later." I sneered. Madeline's eyes turned red, "Edna, you better not make any mistake. If you do, I am not going to let you go."

"Madeline, stop stressing yourself because of Edna and her issues. Things will fall in place. Karma is not dead." Jade consoled Madeline.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

A few words gathered at the tip of my tongue but I didn't say them out. I didn't want to waste time. Exchanging words with the two ladies was a waste of time. They would become stepping stones soon.

I didn't bother with them anymore. I pushed the door open and walked into the room.

Mr Blake wasn't on the bed anymore. He smiled at me.

My lips hooked up into a smile in response.

"Mr Blake, we are ready. We can set out anytime you want." I said.

Mr Blake's smile became bigger as he stared at me carefully, "Edna, are the things Madam Tayo said about you true? Are you using me for something you shouldn't be doing? It is better to confess now than to reap the consequences later." My heart skipped a beat. Mr Blake was my only way out of here. I can't let anything destroy this raft that would take me out of my predicament.

If Mr Blake failed to assist me, it will be difficult to convince other patrons to take up the duties I wanted assigned to him. I trust Madam Tayo.

She would repeat the same things she said to Mr Blake to all the customers I might want to convince to take me away.

This attempt was the only one that has a higher chance of being successful. It must work out.

The smile on my lips became more sincere, "Mr Blake, I begged you to fulfill my wish. This is considered to be using you. I have to put it in that category. I can't realize the wish myself so I am using you to realize that wish. Everyone in this world is used, one way or the other. It is the intention that would differentiate the categories a used person can be in."

"Your words make sense. So Edna, are you intentions in seeking a favor from me to realize your wish pure? Do you have any other motives?" Mr Blake asked.

I don't know if this man was stupid or he thought I was stupid. I would never admit to that kind of thing.

I would keep the mask of my fake story to the end.

"Of course my motives are pure. My sister sold me to this brothel permanently. I won't be able to leave or be redeemed. This is the only chance for me to experience something like this. You can ask Madam Tayo. She will never agree for you to redeem me. You saw how she behaved when you wanted to take me out of the brothel. You are my only chance and hope. I am sorry for being pushy but I don't think I can let you go." I said in a teary voice.

He was the best chance out of here so sincere emotions was mixed in with the fake ones I was projecting to him.

Mr Blake's smile became a little bit unpredictable.

He nodded, "It will be better that way. It would save us from the situation of squashing problems that shouldn't have appeared."

His words sounded like normal ones but it also sounded like a warning. I don't know which tone he was going for. I stopped thinking about it.

It was better to think of things I can influence instead of things I can't change.

"I have already contacted my subordinate. There would be here soon. When they get here, we would set off." Mr Blake informed me. I nodded.

We didn't have to wait long. Somebody knocked on the door.

Madeline's voice came from outside the room, "Mr Blake, some people are here. They say they are your subordinates."

"They are truly my subordinates, let them in." The door was pushed open and a man walked in.

He was bulky but his muscles didn't look awkward. He had skin that was the color of wheat.

When he walked in, he bowed towards Mr Blake.

Mr Blake raised his eyelids, "Are the things ready?"

"Yes, my lord." The new arrival said.

Mr Blake turned to me, "It is time to leave."

He rose to his feet and walked out of the door. I copied his actions.

Mr Blake's subordinates came out last.

New faces were at the door with Madeline and the others. They should be Mr Blake's other subordinates.

The subordinate that walked in led the way. Mr Blake was protected at the center. I and the other girls were at the back. Some of Mr Blake's subordinates were at the rear. It was like a sandwich filled with layers of different ingredients. The men surrounding us brought us to a door we would use to exit the brothel. It wasn't the main door I saw when I arrived at Flower Embrace brothel.

There was a huge hovercraft parked before us.

I noticed that the other men in Mr Blake's subordinate group listened to the man that walked into the special room earlier. He should be their leader or something.

The leader of Mr Blake's subordinate group snapped his fingers.

The men in the group opened the doors of the hovercraft. Mr Blake was the first to go in. He sat next to the driver seat.

I walked into the hovercraft. Madeline and the others came into the vehicle after me.

Madeline's eyes flashed as she observed the interior of the vehicle. I snorted.

Everyone got on the hovercraft and the vehicle began to move. There were truly many things I haven't seen.

Behind the windows were buildings and structures I had not seen in the capital. It was different.

The capital had more funding, charisma and many more. It was where Killian lived after all. Everything that was built on the soil in it was the best.

This area tried to mimic the aura and some of the characteristics of the capital. It was not like the original. It was an expensive mimicry.

My eyes stayed glued to the window as I watched the background outside fly past.

Even if it was just a caricature of the capital, this area was beautiful.

An heated gaze fell on my body. I looked up to trace it to the source.

It wasn't one pair of eyes, it was two. Madeline and Mr Blake was looking at me.

Mr Blake's emotions were unknown and Madeline's feelings was quite clear.

She was unhappy to see me in a calm state.

I flashed a small smile at Mr Blake before he looked away. When he stopped staring at me, I continueed what I was doing.

"Village bumpkin. Stop being such a people pleaser." A whisper came out of Madeline's mouth.

I didn't pay any attention to her.

She can say whatever she wanted. As long as she was not directly blocking my goal to freedom, she can say whatever she dreamed of saying. I don't have the time to straighten her up.

I don't know how much time had flew by.

Finally, we arrived at our destination.
