He called on the extension and she picked up the phone. He said, "I need you in right now."

She kept the phone down and walked into his office.

She asked, "You wanted to see me again?" He looked at his watch and said"it's 1. And in an hour, everyone in this building will go out to get lunch."

He threw a file at her but she caught it.

He said"Summarize the file for me. If it's not done by 2, you don't get to have lunch at all. Understand?" That exact word reminded her of David, her uncle. Like a child, she shook her head in fear and said: "Understood, Mr. Knight."

She left.

This is not how she wanted to live.

She wanted to be loved. And she thought all her life someone would support her but no one did. No one loved her or let her be loved.

When she was done summarizing in half an hour, she printed out the last paper and closed the file. Smiling at herself for her small victory.

Liam was watching her like a hawk. He loved the way she smiled but he wasn't gonna let that smile stay for long.

She went in and kept the file on his desk, right in the middle and in front of him.

He stood up and picked up the file and read through it quickly.

He looked back at her again and she had her bottom lip between her teeth. Nibbling on it.

Without warning, he threw the papers in the bin and kept the empty file in front of her again. He pointed at the yellow file in the table and said: "Write it again." Her eyes widened"What was wrong with that?"

"Everything. Write it again."

Even though there was nothing wrong. The summarization was perfect. But he didn't want it. He wanted her to work on it again.

She nodded and said"Okay. I'll do it after lunch."

"No, you'll do it now while I go out for lunch. Okay?"

"Bu.."

"Shhh. At 4 the Italian people are coming for a deal with me. I want you to guide them to the conference room. Understand?"

"Understood."

He came forward to her and closer.

He smiled and said"I like how you respond to that word. I really do. It gives me some kind of... satisfaction."

He walked past her leaving her alone.

(Past. Emily POV)

What man wouldn't like when a woman submits to him? It is in his nature to be dominant but that does not him all mighty or anything. It makes him a sadist.

David loved it when I used to say 'Understood' to his question. Everyone did.

Melissa, Tanya, David, and even now Liam.

But no one knew the story behind it. Except for David.

It was 10 years ago. I was 15. I just turned orphan and my uncle and aunt just adopted me legally.

I cried myself to sleep because I missed my parents terribly that night.

It was dark and cold. I felt something crawling up my shorts.

A hand?

My brain was telling me to wake up but I kept telling it that it's a dream. Because that night, the reality of my parents dying felt like a nightmare that wouldn't end.

Slowly that crawl was now on me. My private part.

My eyes pried open. Before I could get up, someone pushed me down on the mattress again. Covering my mouth with their hand that smelled like cigarettes.

It was a huge man and he kept rubbing me over my shorts. I heard his voice"Shhhhh. Just relax. It'll get better."

UNCLE DAVID?

He kept rubbing and rubbing me. I hated it. I despised it.

He removed his hand from my mouth and I screamed: "Get off me!"

But sadly my 5 foot 5, 15-year-old body was too weak for this huge 6 foot, a 48-year-old man.

He ripped my shorts and I tried to kick him with my legs.

He pinned my knees down and apart from each other.

I screamed and he slapped me across my face and said: "If you scream, I'll hurt you more!"

That what got me terrified. I didn't scream. He began rubbing me again on my underwear. And I couldn't help but sob and feel disgusted.

He pushed up my shirt and took my breast out of my bra. Biting my nipple hardly with his teeth.

I screamed and he slapped me again.

He put his fingers inside my mouth and down my throat, gagging me.

I couldn't make a sound now. And I couldn't stop gagging.

He ripped apart my underwear and I was half-naked.

I felt something go up and down my slit.

I looked down and he had unzipped his pants and took out his member, rubbing it up and down my slit.

One motion, he pushed all of himself inside me.

I screamed in pain but he pushed his two fingers down my throat, gagging me again.

I did throw up but he didn't take out his fingers.

He began thrusting me.

In and out

In and out

I was in pain. I felt like I was on fire and paralyzed. I couldn't do anything but cry for someone to save me. But no one came.

I could hear the slapping of his skin on mine. The pain was unbearable but that man didn't care. He kept going at it.

I heard him moan and shiver.

He took out his member quick and I saw his cum coming out through that.

His white cum all over my sheets.

He took out his fingers and I coughed out loud. He pinned me again and said"You don't tell anyone about this! You don't mention to anyone about this. If you do, I'll kill you myself! Understand?!"

I cried but he shook me"UNDERSTAND?!!" I cried"Understood!"

Suddenly there was a sinister smile on his face and he said: "From now on you will say that word to me." He whispered, "Understand?" I shivered crying"Understood."

I heard his groan in pleasure.

By our closeness, I could smell that he had drowned himself in alcohol. He wreaked.

He got off of me and walked out. Leaving me alone, naked, and bleeding.

And that's how my sleep paralysis started. The nightmares started. Every time I tried not to let him win, but every time I lost.

I could've told Melissa or Tanya, but they weren't good to me too.

The next day, they all started beating me up once I was finally theirs. Their punching bag and their property.

(Past end)

As she was thinking about that past, she was sobbing too. She wiped her tears and told herself"That day was worse. This is nothing compared to that. You can do the summary again."

When he came back, he saw that she was still working on the summary. Typing on her computer. He looked at her and said, "Do not forget the Italians at 4."

She looked and nodded.

Two hours later, she waited at the elevator.

As the bell dinged, three people came out.

Two were very old but one was young. Looked like he was in his late 20s or starting of 30s. He looked so handsome. Tall and a muscular body. Same height as Liam. But if it were to choose between them, Liam was more beautiful looking.

He looked at Emily and smiled. She smiled at them all and said: "Mr. Knight has been expecting you all."

She led them all to the conference room and said: "I'll get Mr. Knight for you."

She walked back to Liam's office and said hesitantly"T-the Italians are here, Mr. Knight." He looked up at her and said"Good."

He got up and walked up to her. Before she could go out, he held her arm and said"You will be in the room too. I want you to take points of the meeting for me."

She nodded her head and they both walked to the conference room. With Emily one step behind him.

Liam smiled and shook hands with them all.

She sat away from them to the end corner of the long table. Writing what Liam told her.

Liam was really confident. The way he presented his company to them. He was confident in making the speech. And there was a confident smile in his face throughout.

As Liam got interested in talking to the two older men, the young guy stared at Emily.

When her gaze met his, he smiled and she lightly smiled back just as a soft courtesy.

Liam noticed every little thing and that's hen the volcano inside him started bubbling.

When he was dropping off the old men to the elevator, he saw Emily walking away from them while holding a stack of files in her hands.

She accidentally dropped them and bent down to pick them.

Liam looked at the guy and he was staring at her. His eyes were on her back as she bent down to pick up the files.

Liam could see the lust in his eyes.

The two old men went down and the young men helped Emily with the files.

She smiled and said, "Thank you for helping."

When he stood up, he lent her his hand and she held it supporting herself to stand up too.

He smiled and asked, "I'm Max." Emily shook his hand and said"Emily."

"Pretty name."

"Thank you."

"Would you like to get a cup of coffee with me? Now? If you're free?"

Before she could say anything or do anything, she felt someone breathing down her neck.

Her neck hair stood up getting goosebumps. Liam was standing behind her. His hard and cold voice said, "She's already married to someone."

Max smiled and said, "I don't see a ring, Mr. Knight." Liam raised his voice a little and said: "She's married to me."

Max's eyes widened and he said"Well, congratulations to you both. I better get going."

He held out his hand for Liam to shake but he looked at his hand and then looked at him again. The rage in Liams eyes making him almost run for the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, Liam pushed Emily to the pillar behind her. He was angry. Rage could be seen in his eyes. He breathed like he was breathing out steams through his nose. He said, "What the hell was that?"

"He just helpi...."

"I DONT WANT excuses from you... Why did you smile at him?"

"I didn't."

"Don't lie to me, Emily!"

"Liam, please. Someone could hear you."

He scoffed"Liam?"

"Sorry... m-master."

"I own this company and I own you, so I can yell when I want and at whoever I want."

He looked at her up and down and said through this gritted teeth"What the hell are you even wearing?! I saw him staring at you as you bent down."

She cried"I didn't know, please. I'm sorry."

"SHHH!"

With a hard and loud voice, he said: "I don't like this attitude of yours."

He held her jaw not tightly but enough to cause her pain. He was still angry and said, "You broke the rules, Emily Parker." She whimpered in pain and said"I'm sorry. Please don't hurt me."

She held his wrist and turned to pull his hand away but he was just too strong.

He leaned in closer towards her face and said"Sorry doesn't cover for what you did. Now, tell me how do I punish you? Shall I take you roughly right here on this very floor? Should I beat you up till you faint?" She whimpered at his choices.

She shook her and shouted," TELL ME!!"

She cried out loud and screamed"I'm really really really sorry. Please. Please just let me go. I'll be more careful next time. I promise!"

"Fine. But next time I won't let you go. I won't let you go without being punished. Understand?"

"Understood."

He pushed her to the side causing her to almost fall on the ground and walked inside his office, closing the door behind him.

She steadied herself against the pillar and was hyperventilating. She counted"1... 2... 3... 4...5..." trying to calm her panic down.
