"You won't expect love from me and will please me whenever, wherever I want." He stopped for a second and all those helplessness feelings faded away as anger took over me. How dare he? If he's rich he can't use me like that. Becoming furious I replied, "Excuse me Sir, But I am not a whore. Kindly, Look for another girl, I'm not a sellout." I became angry and stood up to leave. I turned to leave but I heard him,

"Wait, I haven't completed myself," He said authoritatively, I swear if he said another stupid word, I'll slap him, I don't care who the hell is he but I am not a plaything. I turned and saw him standing so close to me, my breath hitched as I took a step back.

"That's the reason I want to marry you. I'll give you my name, my money and everything you desire. In return, I just want two things from you." He said.

"W-What?" I shuddered in fear.

"Loyalty and Satisfaction." My heart skipped a beat as I took a step back. Fright took over me as I spoke in a vague tone, "What I-if I r-refuse?"

He smirked and took a step closer. My body became numb as dread consumed my body. The anger which induced me evaporated in an instant and was replaced by his presence that deluge me in fright.

"You can't. I'll afford all the expenses of your brother's treatment and fulfil your greatest wish; A sweet home for your mother." He said and his lips curved upwards triumphantly; leaving me speechless. How did he know about my greatest wish? My lips began to quiver as he took another step closer,

"I'll give you a week to think about it." He said. My trembling form lost its strength and wants to run away from this tribulation. Away from him.

"But, remember one thing, Sophie," My whole being lost its senses when he called my name. My throat dried and my energy- which was very little of left, was also deprived of me. He continued to walk closer and somehow some courage blessed me and I took a step back and he continued to say,

"Once this is started, You are stuck."

My body drowns in the pools of apprehension as he continued to say a sentence by each step,

"You'll be mine to claim."

"Your body, Your soul will belong to me"

"I'll never tolerate anyone who tried to think about you the way I do."

"You can never cheat on me."

He stood in front of me and I shut my eyes in terror. The fear anticipated by the fact that he can do the unimaginable to me cause to break miserably. I felt his hot breath on my face as he said the last sentence,

"I'll give you whatever you desire and you give me what I desire."

I slowly opened my eyes and met his menacing gaze as tears brimmed in my eyes but I didn't let them fall,

"It's a fair deal."He said and got away. I let out rapid breaths in dread and turned to leave but I heard him saying, "Just a week."

I left with my shaky form, submerged in his apparition.

The driver offered to drop me home but I refused because I don't want to be in that abhorrence filled mansion anymore.

I took a taxi and went home filled with undesirable thoughts. I just knew it that this guy can never be the one I deeply hoped to meet. That he can ever be that Knight I used to admire till now. A loveless marriage is something I never want but I have no choice. I want Eugene to recover and for it, I have to do it even though I don't want to...

Filled with unwanted thoughts and great fears, I went home. Mother came and I looked at her, "What happened Dear? Are you alright?" She asked, tensed. I tilt my head and left for my room saying, "It was.. fine"

I close the door behind me and lock the door. I leaned on it and fell on the ground. I hid my face in my knees and began to cry. He held supreme power over everyone, I am just an ant he can easily sway with the wind. I understood what it felt like to be overwhelmed, to have a feeling of being vanquished.

I don't want to marry that revolting guy. I don't want to become his toy forever. I don't want it... but...

I want to give my mother a house, I want to treat Eugene in a better hospital so that he can recover. I want to give my mother a luxurious life. I want to fulfil all the dreams I held dear in my heart but I can't do this by marrying him...
