Sold to the Ruthless Master

Lily Pov

I walk to the living room but I was quite surprised that there’s no guard waiting for me there.

What?

Is she trying to play on me or what?

I didn’t find any guard there, the whole place is empty.

I shook my head and walk back to the kitchen but was surprised that she’s not there anymore.

This girl is something else.

Can’t believe she fooled me for nothing.

I walk back to where I dropped my food and pick it, I scoop some rice into the spoon and place it one my lips.

I spit it out in disgust and grumbled.

I can’t believe the food is cold already.

But I just left here minutes ago?

Why would the food be this cold?

I stomp my foot angrily to my room and I met Mariam eating.

I giggle happily and rush to her place, I snatch the spoon from her and start eating.

“Hey, it’s my food, go take yours”She said trying to collect the food back and I grumbled.

“Can you believe Bethany fooled me that Lucian sent a guard to me that he’s waiting for me in the living room, I met no one there, that girl is just a psycho”I said taking a bite from the meat and she laughed.

“Really?, And you fell for it?”

“Yes, you know I wouldn’t like to face Lucian wrath, he can be overly angry sometimes”

” Okay”She nodded and continue watch me eat the food.

“Don’t you think I’m eating too much these days, I don’t want to be fat”

“I think you’re eating too much these days”She said mockingly and I sniffed.

“So that means I’m a glutton?”I said close to tears and she stuttered.

“No, I didn’t mean to… I’m sorry”She stuttered and I burst into tears.

“You’re such a kill joy, You knew you just insulted me”

“I’m sorry, I won’t do that again”She apologized and continue begging me.

Daniel Pov

I shut down the computer and collapse on the chair tiredly.

“Damn!”I groaned straightening my neck.

I have been on the computer since three hours ago without standing up.

I’ve been so busy these days attending many business meetings for my companies and also attend some on behalf of Lucian.

He also have been very busy these days.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

I pack the laptop and phones inside my suitcase and my assistant help me carry it out of the office to my car.

I need to get home to prepare for the party I and Mariam is to attend.

She dropped it inside the car and left afterwards, I was about to step into the car but a familiar voice stopped me.

“Daniel”The voice yelled and I turned back, my mouth gaped at shock when I realized it was Stephanie.

My mind boiled in anger and I tried entering my car trying not to attend to her but she’s close to me already.

“What did you want Stephanie”I said taking a quick glance around her body, she wore a moderate yellow gown and high heels, she haven’t changed a bit, just that she has gain more weight.

“I don’t want anything from you, I just want to apologize for what I’ve done”

“And how did you want me to forgive you Stephanie, Is it for ruining the relationship between I and Mariam?, Or for being a bad friend?, Or for…”

“I’m sorry”She cut me off in tears and I scoffed.

“My mind hasn’t been in peace since I drug you that night, I knew I offended Mariam, not even when she told me the day before we had sex that she’s pregnant but she’s scared to break the news to you, my heart was more heavier when I watched her carry the baby in poverty, I couldn’t have a peaceful sleep anymore, I searched everywhere to look for you but I couldn’t see you, I’m sorry”

“You mean, Mariam was pregnant for me?”

“Yes, she even had a baby, she really suffered Daniel, when she had the baby, I couldn’t help because she didn’t want to see me, she had to work in the hospital for whole three months because she wasn’t able to pay her hospital bills, her mom couldn’t help either, she slept in the cold because of the baby Daniel, she…”

“Stop”I yelled almost close to tears and she sniffed.

“I don’t know what I should do to you because you’ve been a wicked friend, but I swear to God Stephanie, If Mariam didn’t forgive me or let me see my child, I’ll kill you with my bare hands”I threatened and entered my car and drove out of the compound in anger.

Lily help me apply a moderate make up on my face and pick a dangling earrings on the table, she fix it on my ears and beamed in satisfaction.

“Now, you’re good to go”She said smiling and I check the mirror.

I gasp in surprise as I look so beautiful with my big hips threatening to bulge out of the dress, I place my hand on my hips and twirl around.

She really did a good job in dressing me up.

“Thanks Lily”I said smiling and she nodded.

“You’re welcome”She smiled and gave me my purse, I flung it on my shoulder and walk elegantly out of the room.
