Rose's POV

Wake, wash, tidy, food, tidy, bed. Wake, wash, tidy, food, tidy, bed. Wake, wash, tidy, food, tidy, bed. Wake, wash, tidy, food, tidy, bed. Wake, wash, tidy, food, tidy, bed.

That was my routine for the next few weeks. I hadn't seen Alex . . . I mean, Master Alexander since that morning, and whenever I thought I heard him around the house I avoided him. He was a horrible man, and I didn't wish to even be in the same country as him, let alone the same house.

"Oh, look who it is, the House's newest Whore" I groaned in annoyance as I entered the kitchen. Scarlet . . . AKA the slave that had interrupted me and Alex that morning, had to make it her own personal job to make my life hell. No idea why, Cinders said she didn't even like Alex herself . . . maybe she was jealous, that since she had been here longer maybe he should have taken her to his bed . . . I'd have preferred it.

"Get lost, not in the mood." I mumbled as I headed over to the fridge and started making myself a snack. Her and Binkie, the cook, were the best of friends, so I didn't really trust anything either of them made.

"SLAVE!" Suddenly, Alex's voice rumbled throughout the house, making us all jump out of our skins.

"Well . . . what are you waiting for, go and see what your boyfriend wants!" Binkie snarled. I was about to turn around and give them both a piece of my mind when Alex's voice roared once more.

As they both stood there smiling at me, it was becoming obvious that neither of them were going to answer his calls, and therefore that meant I had to. Damn it!

Running through the house, towards the room I had been desperately trying to avoid for the past 14 days, I arrived at the door. Swallowing deeply, I lifted my fist to knock but before my hand even connected to the wood, it swung open and there he stood.

"What do you want?" He coldly asked. I rolled my eyes at his rudeness.

"You asked for a slave, so the question is actually what do you want?" He folded his arms across his chest and stared at me.

"I'd check my tone if I were you, little human." I glared at him.

Annoying, selfish, evil pig! No respect for anyone, how could I have been so stupid as to let him take my virginity! AH! He values nothing!

"Finished with your little mind rant slave?" My eyes widened when I suddenly realized he's been reading my thoughts, a mix of emotions washed over me. Anger, clear anger, embarrassment, sadness, and . . . oddly, happiness . . . happy that he knew exactly what I thought about him.

Liar!

My mind yelled back at my own thoughts. Somewhere . . . deep . . . DEEP down inside my own head . . . and heart, I was lying to myself . . . I didn't hate this guy, I -

Stopping my own thoughts dead in their tracks, I wasn't going to let HIM read my feelings and thoughts like an open book.

"What do you want?" I repeated.

"Well . . . I was hoping one of the more . . . attractive slaves would come up." What? How could he say that?

His comment hit me like a wrecking ball, it felt like my whole body would break.

"Oh . . . I'll go and get one for you then." My voice was barely a whisper as I turned and made my way back down to the kitchen.

Heading in there was only Binkie, Cinders, and Scarlet in there . . . shocker.

"Back so soon?" I kept my gaze down, scared that if I looked up the tears I was trying hard to hold in would escape.

"A-Master Alex wishes for someone else to go and serve him." I told them before leaving and heading back to my room.

As soon as the door was closed and I was in private, the tears started free falling down my face, and I let out a heart filled scream. Walking over to my bed, I laid down and buried my face in my pillow.

Why! Why! Why! Did I have to care so much about such a horrid cruel man!

Turning on my side facing the wall, I let my eyes close and soon, darkness took over . . .
