Chapter 37
“So? Are you going to listen to me now or do I keep you here?”
Luciano asked when he walked in the next morning, she glared at him, he was stupid to think she would give in, she couldn’t get any sleep last night, she was so uncomfortable that she had stayed up and waited, plus the chain was cold so was the room, it was impossible to fall asleep.
Last night had been hell for her, he didn’t give her dinner to eat, just the lunch that she had vomited after what she saw, then, he chained her up and let her sleep here in the short ass gown, she couldn’t even get the bed cover to protect her from the cold, if only her hands were free, she would have at least thrown a punch at him.
“Aha, you are not going to say anything? Well you have two choices, you either do as I say or I will sell you off to a pimp, it won’t hurt to do so, getting rid of you would be doing me a lot of good too, you decide,”
He said, he sat on the only chair in the room., he sounded so harsh this morning, well she shouldn’t expect less for him, last night, he only tried to pretend to be nice which he had failed at.
Arielle wished he could get so pissed that he would send her away, any place but near him would be good for her.
“You can sell me off, I will rather be anywhere else but here, I don’t care wherever I end up, I just want it not to be with you,”
She responded firmly, what was the purpose of keeping her here anyway.
“Aha, do you even know what a pimp is? Do you know what goes down in those places? Trust me what you saw that made you think I am the worst person on earth is just a preview, it gets worst, you don’t just watch, no, you get to participate,”
He said and she hated that she couldn’t move her hands or legs because of the chains.
He was stupid to assume she doesn’t know what a pimp is, she knew everything, and she didn’t mind, it was better than being here with this devil.
“I don’t fucking care,”
She yelled.
“I think the chains are in the wrong place, I think your mouth should be what is chained,”
He said moving closer to her, she shook her head not wanting him anywhere near her.
“I hate doing this, women are stupid but I don’t like treating them like this but you keep getting on my nerves, you keep doing shit that annoys me and you get yourself like this,”
He said freeing the chains on her legs and then those on her hands, she felt numb after the chains were removed, she just couldn’t move, how could she when she had been stuck in the chain since last night, she tried to shake the numbness off, all her anger from last night surging out, he was much too close to her and with how angry she was towards him she couldn’t contain herself.
“You could be quiet like this and we won’t have any problems,”
He said, he really didn’t know what he had coming.
“Laughable,”
She said as she spat on his face.
“Fuck! You crazy woman,”
He said raising his hands, she turned her face waiting for the slap she knew was coming but it never came, she slowly turned back to see him with his hand in the air, she looked at his face and he was pissed.
“Arielle!”
He roared, getting up and putting a lot of distance between them, so he couldn’t hit her. Well, that was new considering how he freely beat up a man in her presence just yesterday, what was stopping him now?
“You are really going to make me do shit to you?
Why can’t you just be normal? Do you have to be such a pain in the ass?”
He asked glaring at her while trying to wipe the saliva off his face, she didn’t even feel the least bit remorseful, he could think whatever he wants as long as he is holding her hostage against her will, she had no plan on making his life easy, two could play the game.
“You are asking for the worst, you think I am evil? Wait until you see me in my full potential, you would beg to be treated the way I am treating you now,”
He added after a while.
“All this would not be happening if you just leave me alone, nothing of this would come your way, you wouldn’t even know me or have to deal with me, it is not my fault if you choose to spend your money on me without knowing what kind of trouble I would be to you, I am determined to make your life hell too, I have nothing to lose in this, I am not scared of you,”
She responded getting off the bed, she was glad to be free from the chains, the numbness in her hands was starting to wear off but her legs could barely carry her.
“Why did I ever think chaining you up will make any difference? How can you look so fragile and act so differently?”
He asked and she shot him a look.
“What? You thought I would be a weakling? Why? Because I am beautiful and feminine? I look this way because I am a woman idiot and that’s how women look like but that doesn’t mean we are fragile,”
She responded, she scolded herself for calling him an idiot but he seem not to notice.
“Yeah, my fault, let’s go, I have to leave for work, and I didn’t want to leave you here,”
He said pulling her along with him, he had a niche of always dragging her with him when he could just let her walk on her own, plus she didn’t want to go anywhere, she was too tired and sleep deprived to step out and be in his office, he could go something similar to what happened yesterday and she was much too traumatized by the experience to want to witness it again, just the thought of yesterday made her wanna throw up again, especially when that lady.
“Cut it out,”
She mentally scolded herself, why did she need to think of that so early?
“I am not going anywhere with you today,”
She let out when they stepped out of the underground apartment where she had spent the night.
“I never said you were, I don’t want a repeat of yesterday, you will stay here and if you try to leave, they will just dose you,”
He threatened.
“What does that mean?”
She asked already thinking of the worst that can happen if she tried to leave.
“You don’t wanna know trust me,”
She decided not to question him, not like she could plan her escape right now, she still needed to sleep or risk falling over her face if she ever tried to run away, with so many failed attempts it would be best to just give up anyway.
“Okay, since I have to leave for work, and I don’t have the strength to deal with you today, plus you look too out of the world right now, so here is the thing, you be a good girl and just stay here while I go to work, don’t try to do anything that you will end up regretting,”
He said and paused, he stared at her in a weird way that made her self-conscious, why was he looking at her like that, she looked away wondering when he would finish his lecture.
“I will see you when I get back,”
He added after a long pause and just walked away without another word to her, she watched him get into his room wondering why he just stopped his lecture like that, well she was much too exhausted both physically and mentally to give it much thought, she walked upstairs into her room, she couldn’t believe how glad she was to finally be back in the room that she should hate, but it was better than the plain walled room below and warmer too.
The first thing Arielle did when she got into the room was to take a bath, when she came out of the bathroom, there was breakfast there waiting for her, she ate without asking any questions, soon after she finished eating, Lydia came and took her dishes, she tried talking to her but she didn’t say a word back and left the room.

Arielle whispered as she got on the bed, it didn’t take long for her to fall asleep with how weak and tired she had been.
