32 Enslavement- Part 3 (2/2)

”He was?” She asked taken back at the revelation.

”He was an expensive one. When I first found him during the auction he was covered with bruises due to the constant fights he got into with the other slaves,” Lord Nicholas didn't get into the details where his butler had to fend himself from both makes and females due to his appearance, ”It all about luck in the end.”

Reaching the carriage, they both stepped inside and this time on the Lord's insistence, the butler was asked to sit along with them. On their way to the mansion, the Lord asked the butler,

”Did you fix what I asked for?”

”Yes, Milord.”

”Good.”

Back at the store when Heidi had gone back to change her clothes, the Lord had taken the female staff along with him to one of the dressing booths before he came back alone after sucking her dry. He had been thirsty, and finding the perfect opportunity he had taken the same girl who had commented thoughtlessly. He would have sunk his fangs in one of them anyways.

Heidi wasn't the only one who had been caught off guard at the dressing store by the lord. The butler knew his master well who lured women easily. Complimenting the lady in such blunt manner would make anyone's heart thump.

He wasn't aware what his Lord was at this time as Ms. Curtis was soon-to-be to be Mr. Lawson's wife and fooling with the lady wasn't a wise idea.

That night Heidi experienced another nightmare as she slept.

The little girl sat in the dark, cold cell alone. Her little body shivered due to cold and fear as heard the screams that echoed constantly. Even with an empty stomach, the pungent smell in the air had already made the girl vomit at the corner of the cell. Hearing the heavy footsteps, she hid herself into the corner. A bulky man came in with a ring filled with keys before he unlocked the door cell. The little girl screamed, cried, pushed and kicked him which went unaffected as he dragged her from there.

”No! No! Please!” Were the constant words uttered by the girl to which the bulky man didn't heed to. Getting her to a room, he chained her to one of the seat, locking her arms to the wooden legs along with her own feet.

”Oh dear,” the little girl heard a woman speak, ”You only have to sit still. You want to feel better now, don't you?” She asked with a sweet voice.

Upon hearing a gentle of the woman, the little girl sobbed quietly. ”That's like a good girl,” the woman patted her head. The woman picked out a pair of scissors from the tray before cutting one side of the dirty cloth that was worn by the little girl. Confused the child opened her eyes but before she could realise what was going on, a burning, hot iron was placed on her back.

Heidi woke up with a gasp suddenly, her entire body covered in sweat. Sitting up on her bed she pulled her knees closer to her and placed her forehead on it as she even her breathing. A single tear slipped passed her closed eyes. Only if she could forget it, thought Heidi to herself.
