Harlequin's POV

I was still lost in the amazing interior of the house when Dimitri called me.

"Valery."

I turned towards him remembering that was the name he had given me. "What is wrong with you? Why are you starring as if this is the first time you've seen a house? Who knows if you fell from the sky?" He reprimanded.

I felt angry he really didn't need to make such mean comments, I would have spoken but I'm afraid he'll kill me just like he tried to in the hospital. I'll be dead and then I won't find my family.

I'll just have to play it cool if I want to survive in this new world. Listen more and talk less.

"Come with me." He told me and I followed, two men who I believe to be his bodyguards or so, tried to follow us but he stopped them. He said he wants to be alone and doesn't want any disturbance.

And that only means I'll be alone with him! Oh Lord save me,what plans could he have? What if he tries to kill me again. I could only pray silently and shake in fear as I followed him upstairs.

He opened the door to a very big and nicely furnished bedroom and walked in while I trailed behind. "Close the door behind you." Came his masculine voice and just that I did.

"Sit on the bed." He ordered and I obeyed yet again. He went into another room which I guess is the bathroom. He took some time in there and I was soon starting to feel tired and a bit sleepy.

Just then,he came out of the bathroom with just a towel wrapped around his waist, the upper part of his body was exposed. My eyes starred directly at his bare body. He sure has the fitness of a wrestler, his body is well built and very attractive, glistening with water droplets. His abs seem rock hard and his stomach is lean,with a really cute belly button.

I soon realize what I'm doing and shake my head as if to away with the obscene thoughts. What the heck is wrong with me? I should be ashamed or at least try to stop this. My innocence is about to be taken by a stranger and instead of stopping him,I'm busy fantasising over his body. Shame on you Valery! I heard my conscience tell me.

He walked towards me with glistening eyes and I could see the evil in them. I need to get out of here somehow. As he quickly approached the bed where I am seated,I climb on it and swiftly scan the room for something to defend myself with.

My eyes soon focus on a small bread knife on a cabinet beside the bed and I quickly grab it and hold it out.

"Don't come any closer or I'll kill you." I threatened, stretching out the knife which was shaking so much in my hands. I knew I couldn't do it but at least it was better to die trying than not to try at all. Right?

"What are you doing now? Drop that down or you'll only end up hurting yourself." He snapped leisurely.

"Shut up! You think I'm going to let you sleep with me and take my virginity so easily?" I shouted, knowing I was signing my own death wish.

"I thought you lost your memory, how do you know if you're a virgin or not?" He questioned and I faltered a bit.

He came a bit closer and my courage ignited once more. "Stay back! Of course I know, I'm a girl and girls are supposed to be innocent." I defended, not even sure of myself.

"Never mind that, you really think I'd want your body? You really are naïve. There are a thousand and one girls out there that would do absolutely anything just to get the chance of laying on my bed but here you are,holding a knife out at me because you think I want you when I'm not even a whee bit interested in you. I don't fuck children." He said bluntly.

"How can you be so sure that I'm a child if you really don't know anything about me?" I asked,slightly offended he keeps calling me a child . "Your mentality easily sold you out." He said with a slight smirk.

"Then what are you trying to do, coming out of the bathroom in only a towel and being all flirty in front of me?" I pressed on further.

"When I said you're my pet, it's more of a maid description but sometimes, I can play with you when I feel like it but don't worry, I won't sleep with you. I wouldn't even dream of sharing the same bed with you. I only undressed and took a shower so you could give me a massage, silly." He answered. "Then why'd you want us to be alone?" I questioned further, still not giving up.

"It's been such a long day in the office with so many meetings, so of course I won't want any disturbance because after the massage, I'm sure to fall asleep." He explained.

I immediately felt bad for misunderstanding the situation and falsely accusing him. "I'm sorry, I thought........" I tried to apologize but he cut in. "That's your problem, always thinking negatively. I only wanted to have a good massage and a quiet evening but clearly you've ruined that. Now get out." He ordered.

"I'm really sorry, it won't............" I tried once more but he just wouldn't listen.

"I said get out now!" He yelled and I ran out of the room.

What the hell is wrong with me?
