Chapter 2 His Girlfriend

Luis understood at once that she was trying to run away; what was funny was the fact that she thought she could run away from him.

"What's your name?" He questioned her, trying to verify if she was ready to be his slave or if she still needed to be locked up.

"Mei Li," she stuttered, though she was scared. She had to answer him; the last time she didn't, she ended up in the wrong position.

"How old are you?"

"I am twenty-three." Her palms were very sweaty, and she felt very hot. Her gaze moved to the AC, which was turned on at 16 degree, so why was she sweating so much?

Even her legs were pale, and her heart rate increased as Luis gaze never left her. She wondered what was behind his mask-was it a more deadly look?

Then her vision became blurry and her head was spinning, and Mei Li fell unconscious.

Luis shot his eyes tightly. He dialed a number, and it got connected.

"Come to the study."

Minutes later, a man walked in and almost stepped on the lady on the floor.

"Take this out." Luis pointed at Mei Li. The man crouched and carried her in his arms before he left with her.

"Poor girl," he thought sadly before he took her to a bedroom, placed her on the bed, and left. He left to call the doctor.

Mei Li's eyes flickered as she tried to balance her view with that of the light. Then she remembered that she was in front of Luis Shing, but now she was here.

So she jumped on the bed and held her head tightly. "You are awake," the maid said before she approached her with a plate of rice and vegetables.

The aroma from the food made Mei Li's stomach grumble; she couldn't remember the last time she ate.

So when the food was placed before her, she didn't bother picking the chopsticks. Instead, she started eating with her hand, and the maid chuckled.

"If you want more, then let me know."

Mei Li stared at the maid, who was probably in her early thirties. "Do you want more?" the maid asked, but Mei Li shook her head in denial.

"Why are you smiling at me?" It was weird for someone to be nice to her, especially a maid. The maids at the Li mansion didn't spare her.

"I will get water," the maid said, walked out, and Mei Li continued eating.

She ate to her satisfaction and fell on the bed as she held her stomach tightly. "I almost died," she heaved.

"And you will die if you try to escape," a hoarse voice said as the hairs on her body stood.

She jumped up on the bed and suddenly developed a hiccup. Before her stood the masked man who had become her nightmare.

Luis craned his neck as he took a proper look at her. "You are my property; didn't your brother tell you that?"

She shook her head in denial, and he took some steps closer as she clenched her fist nervously.

"I could do with you whatever I want-hit you, kill you, and even fuck you if I wish," he explained as a tear rolled down her cheeks.

He scoffed. She looked pitiful, but he knew she was a monster. He wasn't going to spare her or let her experience any joy for the rest of her life.

"I didn't do anything to you," she mustered the courage to say, and she didn't know if he smiled or frowned or how he was able to speak perfectly with the mask around his mouth and nose.

"Stand up," he ordered, and he took a step backward, as he didn't want to be close to her.

Mei Li didn't want to stand, but he had already shown her what he could do if she didn't follow his orders, so she walked down the bed.

"Ahh," she screamed, losed her balance and fell into his arms.

"Luis Shing!!!" the voice of an angry old lady roared around the room. She had just stepped into the bedroom and found her grandson in such a position with a woman.

Luis frowned and pushed Mei Li away as she landed on the bed. "Luis, you told me you no longer hire whores; you swore on my life," his grandma scolded, and he held his head frustrated and didn't even face his grandma.

"Luis," she called, more annoyed, and Luis walked past her as she followed him.

"I am talking to you; how could you put your hands on my head and swear, then do the opposite?" She scolded and held her chest tightly.

"Ahh," she cried out in pain.

Luis ran back to his grandma and caught her just before she fell down. "Calm down,"

"You will be the one to kill me," she scolded, and he frowned at her.

"That woman isn't a whore."

His grandma didn't believe him; all the women she ever spotted him with were just whores.

"You even have the guts to lie to my face."

"She is my girlfriend," he blurted, and her eyes widened in shock.

"You are still lying to me?" She held her head angrily.

"I am not, and why are you here?"

She jerked her hand and hit his hands. "Don't change the subject."

Then she turned and started walking back to Mei Li when Luis blocked her path.

"Why are you going back?"

"I want to confirm from her if she really is your girlfriend, if indeed you lied to me. Then today will be the last day you set your eyes on me," she threatened and walked past him.
