Strip!

Chapter 9

Her eyes blurred with tears and it made her vision heavy.

She didn't want to stop crying, this was indeed the height of it.

She had never thought something like this would ever happen to them.

There was indeed no way out and she didn't like it.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't know about the money. I would have long been preparing for it." She begged but he paid no attention to her.

He was more concerned about sitting than talking.

Truth was...he was getting more impatient as he watched her.

"Do you want to get hit?" He asked and she quickly shook her head before sitting on the couch opposite him.

He smiled, taking his seat too and folded his legs.

"You didn't pay back."

"The time was too short. there's no way a person like me would be such amount of money in two days. we're poor." what was he thinking?

How the hell was she supposed to pay such money in two days? That was not even acceptable.

"Hmm. I've seen many a man and women bring my money whether their poor or not. Begging, selling seeking for loan somewhere else..you were never sufficient in those right?"

Was the man okay? He wanted her to borrow and pay? Borrow money and pay back a borrowed money?

And what if they other people asked for their money?

"That is no way to pay back a person's money Master Brian." She muttered and he nodded with a smile.

Few moments of silence reigned, and she turned to see him running his eyes over her as if she had become his meal in two seconds.

Ralda stepped back out of impulse her hand going to cover her already clothed body.

"Strip."

It came out deep, hoarse and anything unholy.

"Ehnn?"

"Strip! I won't repeat myself again. Do you really want me to do it myself?" He asked, and she shook her head.

Tears clouded her eyes again, blocking her vision as she held the coat she had wore.

No wonder she was just in a huge coat, a panty and a bra.

That sly woman!

She pushed off the coat and turned to meet his eyes.

"All of it."

"All of it? Along with the underwear as well?" She asked and he scoffed.

Was he joking with her? Or where they playing some kind of games here?

"Are you stupid? Or do you want some help, wait a minute." He said, turning to the door and then he whistled.

The door opened and a young man walked in. He seemed to be the guard.

He was as Handsome as his master.

"Sir?"

"Help her take off the remaining clothing." He said, picking up his phone as he began to keep himself busy.

"Sir?" The guard blinked, turning to Ralda.

The fact that another man was actually seeing her in just her panties and bra was making it more humiliating for her.

Why was he doing this to her?

"Don't act like it's the first time you're helping a woman take off her things here Tod." He said again, dropping his phone and standing up.

"Leave us." He mumbled, and the latter walked out quickly without looking back.

"What is wrong with you? Many women would try to get to my other side and please me to get something out of me and here you are trying to act like am innocent being while you're nothing different than those women." He said, clicking his tongue.

She kept quiet, her gaze lowered to the ground.

"Get out." Was all it took for her to run out after picking up her coat as she ran of the house.

The tears in her eyes welled up as she sniffed.

This was bad, this was hard...so hard that she was finding it hard to breath just like she use to...just like how normal humans do.

"Are you okay?"

She jumped, turning to the maid that had taken her bath earlier.

"Uhm..I'm...I'm fine. Thank you."

"It's a good thing you're not dead after speaking with him, he's not actually a nice person."

"Thank God, it's not only me that is seeing things....oh my God! I'm so sorry. I'm not suppose to say anything. Please just act like you didn't hear anything."

"It's okay, you're right in front of his room and still cussing." The girl smiled.

Ralda nodded, there was no way she'd smile at someone that had scraped her skin with a sponge that she was sure had thorns.

"I did what I was asked to do, don't hold grudges."

"I want to go to my room."

"That's your room."

"I don't understand." Ralda blinked her eyes,as she swallowed.

"You're standing right in front of your room Miss." The girl said again, making her frown.

Ralda turned around and there was a room just in front of the monsters room.

There was no way she'd be sleeping next to a devil.

"Ha..ha.. ha. You're kidding right?"

"No, I'm not and Madam Tolela said you shouldn't leave your room for whatsoever. You need food? Ring the bell next to the bed. Whatever you want, ring the bell and I will attend to you. From now henceforth I am your personal maid Miss."

"Esmeralda. That's my name and I've never had a maid before."

"Then you have one now Miss Esmeralda."

Ralda sighed.

She was planning to stay for a long time.

She would learn about the environment and run away but why a personal maid? To keep her from running?

This wasn't a good idea at all.

"My name is Lisa, just incase. I'll prepare your bath now Miss Ralda." Lisa said again and gave her a polite bow before walking to the door and opening it.

There was no way she could stop this from happening.

She was now neighbours with her monster.

What was she supposed to do now?

She wasn't even a neighbour!

She was a prisoner. A mere prisoner!
