It happened so fast that before I could look in their direction, Faran was close enough. But, Allan stood at the entrance door and watched as his brother grilled in disgust and contempt.

It was expected of Faran to behave that way but, he was about to take it to the next level.

"Good day, sir," I bowed my head slightly as I stood to my feet. Sarah did the same but so far, we have failed to impress Faran.

"What the hell have you done... you maggot!" cursed Faran. He hit his fist in the air as if he was about to beat the shit out of me.

"Sir, while we were working, this glass cup fell on the floor," began Sarah, "It was not intentional...I swear to God!..it wasn't... Please, find a place in your heart and exercise patience, we will take care of the mess," she pleaded.

It seemed like Sarah has added more oil to a burning fire. Instead of dousing his flame of anger... the fire of his ruthlessness waxed stronger. Faran gave Sarah one hell of a look marred by evil and disgust.

I'm sure Sarah lost her confidence to speak further.

"Who did this?" asked Faran.

Sarah went dump as he asked. As for me, I was not only intimidated but was also having the worst moment of my life. The pressure to ease the tension down my bladder was very high nevertheless, I did everything within my power to contain it.

"Who did this shit?" asked Allan from the entrance door where he has been standing ever since they came in. His voice sounded less aggressive but he was mean.

"I did!" I confessed at last.

I closed my eyes for I could not stand what was coming next. I could begin to receive the very beaten of my life any moment from now.

To avoid seeing such a horrible scenario, I shut my eyes completely as I awaited the beating of my life and the abuse that comes with it. This was not the first time this was happening. It was something that has been going on for years. However, I strongly believed I was going to get extra punishment this time.

"I did it....but Sir, it was not intentional just as Sarah told you....I eeh..."

"Oh, really, dirty pig!" he smirked, "that must be a smart move," said Faran.

"No, it wasn't, sir. I can not make a smart move on you, sir. It was never intentional," I tried to defend myself.

"Oh, yes you are playing smart!" he hurled at me. He turned to Sarah and said, "get the hell out of here, you scumbag-piss-of-shit!"

Sarah left the scene immediately. She must have felt relieved. She will not wish to fall a victim to Faran's wrath.

A minute passed after Sarah hurriedly left me alone at the mercy of the abusers.

I was standing over the remnants of pieces of the broken glass cup on the floor. Some have been arranged in the disposable bowel in my hand.

I was standing like a lonely mountain on a barren land...Like a sheep with no Shepard to protect her from wolves...Like a sheep about to be slaughtered.

"Now tell me, Elena, how do I punish you?" asked Faran as he began stalking me. He was going around while I stood in the middle.

"In any way deemed fit to you, sir!" I said with tears strolling down my cheeks.

Faran and Allan saw my innocent tears but, that did not stop Faran from unleashing a vicious attack on me.

"I see, you are such a nice sweetheart!" he stopped abruptly and came closer to me. He whispered some words into my left ear, "you are going to pay for this!" His evil voice persisted as usual.

"Please, Sir forgive my negligence...it will never happen again," I cried and pleaded with everything I got in me. However, all of my pleas fell on deaf ears.

"There is no forgiveness for you, whore!" he spat on my face and grabbed my hair. "Now, you are gonna pay...you are gonna realize that nobody messes with me!" he yelled with a crooked voice.

Faran began squeezing my hair eliciting overwhelming pain with every twist he made.

Next, he began hitting me. His hands were all over my body as he takes out his frustration on me. His uncontrollable madness tore some parts of my clothes.

"That's enough, Faran!" intervened. Allan. he appeared to be concerned about my situation. "Do you want her dead?"

Angrily, Faran glanced at his younger brother. "Yes, I do!... Is it not better we send her down six feet than living as a slave for the rest of his life?" he turned to, "I'm sure she will agree to that...I'm sure she agree with me that I'm doing her a great favour!"

"Then be ready to do most of your chores yourself when you send her down to six feet!" retorted Allan.

"Wait a minute!" said Faran, with shock on his face, "are you kissing her ass for this?... Are you being sympathetic towards her, Allan!"

"I'm not but, I think you are gonna kill her if you take one-step further!"

Unhappy with his brother's sudden sympathy for me, Faran scorned and shoved me down the floor--I landed very hard.

Afterwards, he stormed out of the scene furious, leaving his brother behind.

There I stood with the rather strange Allan as he continued gazing at me with a mild facial expression.

What the hell was happening? I wondered.

"Are you, hurt Elena?" he asked.

"No, I'm not...I will be fine!" I lied.

He took one step closer and helped me stand to my feet again! "Don't get into my brother's path ever again!" he warned.

"Yes, master!" I replied to him, bowing my head low.

I have been injured by Faran's rough treatment. Allan could see my torn clothes and some blood coming out of my injured body but, he said nothing.

I was yet to look directly into his eyes but when I did, I felt something magical. I locked my eyes at him for a few magical minutes in silent. I saw care and compassion in his eyes. I saw a handsome young man who could have become a better person but, only if he could come out of his brother's shadows. A part of him must have told him to extend his helping hand to me. But perhaps, he was scared of the backlash. He knew Faran would not take it lightly with him for helping an omega slave like me.

As sad as it may sound he was about to walk away. Nevertheless, I continued looking at him in a lost state. I fantasizing the whole time about him.

"What are you looking at?" he asked. His mild facial expression suddenly changed to a harsh one.

"Uhmm!... Nothing sir!" I looked downwards while he began walking away but then, Faran returned. This made Allan to stop, who has already walked some meters away from me.

My heart began to pound again upon sighting Faran. I was not just scared but I was terrified! Only God knows the hell he was coming to unleash. Perhaps, he made a mistake previously by letting me go. Maybe he has returned to finish what he started.
