Thirty nights with the ruthless Ceo.

" Look for the money within 24 hours or watch your brother die in the cruelest way".

" Okay..y..y Sir". Teila muttered, shivering.

After few seconds, she heard a heavy thud then a door slam around her but she dared not look up until she was sure they had left.

Cautiously, she moved to where her brother laid motionless on the floor. He was bleeding from this nose and lips.

Tears streamed down her eyes. These people were definitely not planning to let them alone.

Teila Ashton lived with her younger brother, Collins, alone after losing both parents years ago in a car crash. She had been struggling ever since then to cater for herself and her sibling. It had been a very tough time for eighteen year old Teila.

Today's visit was the worst. They had threatened to kill her brother with a gun pointed to his head. After pleading and begging, Teila had been given just twenty four hours to look for the money. Ten million dollars was a very huge amount of money to get. After the death of her parents, she had dropped out of school to start working as a receptionist in a bar down the street. It was barely enough to meet their needs but it was something. Her brother dropped In and out of school because of unpaid fees so much that the school advised him to stop.

Teila looked up at the clock, the time was ticking already. She had just eight hours left. Who could she call..? What could she do? All her parents' family members had abandoned them after losing their parents seeing they had nothing to gain from them anymore. They only stuck around because of their parents wealth.

Her salary for the month was still far away, today was just the third of the month.

" How I wish dad and mom hadn't died. At least we wouldn't have been suffering this way". She cried frustratingly.

After thinking and thinking of a possible solution for a long time and arriving at none, Teila resolved her mind to get herself ready for the worst.

She waited up excruciatingly throughout the night, counting the hours and seconds that ticked by as the time was getting closer. She knew they weren't joking this time.

At exactly ten a.m the next morning, she heard heavy footsteps followed by poundings on the door. Before she could get to the door, they had walked in.

Damien Roderigo stared angrily at the shaking girl before him. He had sure given them more than enough time to pay off the debt, but what did they do instead..? They fucking choosed to take his silence for granted.

" Today is the fourth year since exactly when your stupid father took the loan from me". Roderigo started in a cold harsh tone.

Teila shivered. This man had no respect for her late father. She remained quiet in response.

" Bring her to me". He yelled to one of the bodyguards present who immediately dragged Teila roughly to his presence.

" Now look up at me bitch. Whenever I talk or ask you a question, you don't remain silent if you value your life. Okay?".

" Yes..s..s sir". Teila nodded fearfully.

" Today is the end of the date I gave you to pay up the debt. Is the money ready now?". He asked harshly.

" Hmm..m..m, sir, yes..s..s..s, I actually mean no..o..o". She stuttered.

" Speak up clearly bastard. Yes or no?". He was now losing at his patience.

" I have just two thousand dollars available now". She finally said after much struggling.

Roderigo immediately bursted into a loud long cold laughter.

He yanked the collar of her blouse and dragged her roughly closer to him.

" What do you take me for? Just two thousand dollars? Out of a whooping ten million dollars? Are you playing around with me?". He yelled.

At this point, he was more than ready to ask his guards to pull the trigger.

" Yes..s..s, that's all I could get please. I work as a poor receptionist and ..."

" Spare me the details please! I am not here to listen to any pathetic tales".

At this point, Teila's brother, Collins, walked into the room. He had just woken up from sleep. Teila felt her spirit collapse. She didn't want him to witness this, no.

" Sister, what is going on?'' he asked innocently, seeing his sister sprawled out on the floor in front of a stranger.

" Nothing baby. Can you now go back to bed and sleep? Remember you are just recovering". Teila responded, trying to hide her pain.

" No, I won't, until you tell me what is going on". He insisted stubbornly.

" Or are they those people we are owing"?

" Yes, they are". Teila muttered.

" But I thought you said the money was completed already"? He asked again.

At this point, Teila could gladly do anything to shut him up. Why was he saying this In front of these people? She had told him this yesterday to calm him down.

Roderigo sat quietly watching the whole drama that unfolded before him. This people were really toying with him.

" Yes, but no. I mean ...."

" Now enough!!" Roderigo interrupted angrily.

" Seize him".

The guards roughly dragged Collins, not minding his age. Teila's heart broke as she heard him whimpering.

Why had her parents done this to them?

" If I had known that things would turn out this way, I wouldn't have lent your pathetic father this loan. He begged and swore that he would pay back within six months, and here we are now after four years. Perhaps, he even planned his own death to avoid paying the loan". He said, shoving the barrel of the gun in his hands close to Collins head.

Teila saw this and became immediately terrified.

" Please sir. I would pay. Just give me a little more time, I promise". She begged, tears streaming down her face unrestrained.

" A little more time!? How many more times? I have given you more than enough time". He replied coldly.

" Please..". Collins begged from the corner he was.

One of the guards slapped him hard across the face making him fall. He bursted into loud tears immediately.

Teila's heart couldn't bear this. She joined him in crying too.

" Please dont..t..t touch him, face me alone". She whimpered.

" A beggar giving commands, how cute". Roderigo mocked, tightening his grip on her hair roughly.

" Okay. Let me try to be reasonable here. If I give you a day more to pay up, how do you intend to raise the money"? He asked, staring intently at her.

" I would..ermm..". she stammered.

" Shut up already, you bastard!".

" Now, I'm going to give you the opportunity to choose. Who's going to die in place of the debt..You or your brother ?". He asked coldly.

Teila's face paled immediately. Was he really going to do this..?

" Please don't do this. I'll do anything else you want". She begged desperately.

Roderigo looked at her irritably. She was so fucking pathetic.

" Anything I want"? He laughed coldly.

"Do you know what I want"?

" I want to watch your beloved brother's heart being ripped out with blood streaming down my fingers. I want to watch his head roll away with ..."

" It's enough please". Teila cried using her hands to cover both her ears.

" How dare you interrupt me!?". He yelled, slapping her hard across the face.

This filthy girl was beginning to waste his time. He had a lot of work to do today other than being here.

He looked down at her. She was holding one of his legs tightly, her head down with tears streaming down her face. The tears streaming from her face made her slinky dress cling to her body leaving some images bare to his eyesight.

She looked really frail. Her full wavy hair falling across her face down to his feet.

" I have changed my mind. I am giving you two options now. I take your brother and do whatever I choose to do with him or you go with me to my house". He finished.

" I choose the second option. I'll go with you". She replied almost immediately.

He looked at her intently. He wasn't sure she understood what he meant. She was too... innocent.

" I don't think you understand what I mean baby girl. I mean, you'll follow me home. You'll become mine alone, throughout that period. I will be free to do whatever I want to do with you..with all of you..at any time of the day". He explained playing with a strand of her hair.

Teila stopped short. What!? She was shocked at what he just said.

" And if I don't agree to this"..? She asked, muttering.

" I'll make you watch your brother die". He grinned.

Silence reigned for minutes.

She let out a deep tired breath and looked at her brother.

" I'll go with you". She replied.

" Not a bad decision. As for your brother, I'll get him enrolled in a boarding school throughout this period. Not to worry, I'm aware he hasn't been to school in a while, he will be well taken care of ". He explained.

" How long is this going to last?".

" One month".

Teila grimaced. A whole month with a stranger..How more ugly were things going to be? She was going to miss her brother for sure.

" Okay". She replied.

" We are moving now, there's no need to take any of your belongings along. Everything you need will be provided". He said standing up.

She looked at her brother painfully once more and moved to give him a long tight hug. This was so difficult to accept..oh god.

The journey to his house was a very long one. Tired Teila fought to stay awake severely.

Finally, they arrived at his home. It was a very huge gigantic mansion. She thought this kind of house only existed in books or movies.

As he led her up the stairs, Teila was amazed at the way he ignored the people greeting him. He walked very fast and she had to run severally to catch up with him. The house seemed never to have an end as they kept walking past different rooms and doors.

He stopped short in front of a room and walked in. Teila walked in after him.

" Wow". She muttered quietly. The room was painted black and everything in it was all black. It held a fearful enthralling aura around it. It seemed like it was a powerful god who dwelled here.

She was so lost in looking around that she had forgotten someone was here with her in the room.

" Come here". Roderigo commanded in a cold compelling voice. He was sitting by the edge of the bed. She walked to him as though she was under a magical spell.

" This is going to be your room from now on". He said forcing her to look up at him.

" Is this your room too..o..o"? She stammered.

" Yes, we are going to be staying together". He smirked.

Teila shivered. She felt fear around this man. He carried a dark cold aura around him..which she couldn't explain.

" Is that all"? He asked.

" Yes..s..s Sir". She nodded.

" Oh, well baby girl, you would have to stop calling me sir because from now on, you are mine, you are my slave, I own you..your body..your soul..your life". He said.

" By the way there are some laid down rules I have for you which I expect you to obey without complaint and I am going to list them out now. Okay?". He continued.

Teila nodded again. His hands around her neck prevented her from speaking.

Roderigo couldn't explain why he had become more talkative than usual for the hours he had met this girl. He doesn't do this.

" First of all, you are not going to use ' Sir' to address me any longer. You have to call me Master".

" Secondly, you are not allowed to move out of this room without permission. You are to be indoors every time".

" The maids and house-helps will always be available to attend to all your needs".

" Thirdly, you aren't allowed to be fully clothed except I ask you to. Which means, you must always be naked".

" Lastly, you are going to be on pills throughout this period. You must not get pregnant".

After talking, Roderigo looked at the face of the girl before him. Her face looked really pale as though she had just seen a ghost. She must have been really terrified by what she just heard.

She hadn't looked at him since they met. Her face was always down.

" Are you not going to give a reply to all I just said now"? He asked.

" I will. I'm just hmm. I mean I agree sir". She seemed to be struggling with what to say.

"Sir..?" Roderigo repeated.

"Hmmm...I'm sorry.. I meant to say ``Master". She muttered.

" Good. Now Strip". He commanded coldly.

" Are we going to-o have sex?". Teila asked in a shaky voice, her eyes wide.

Roderigo struggled to maintain a straight face. He was tempted to burst into laughter. Does she think he would just go straight into the act without playing around a bit?

" No baby girl. Not yet at least". He responded by pulling her to his laps.

Her face crashed into his chest. He could feel she hasn't loosened up yet from her heavy breathing.

" Why haven't you looked at me since you came in here"? He whispered softly close to her ears.

She shivered and released a quiet whimper. The intensity of his hot gaze and his hot breath against her neck was all so strange..

" Because i..i..i... ". She stammered.

His continuous breath close to her ears was not allowing her to think straight.

" Am I too ugly for you to look at"? He asked again.

" No ". She shook her head furiously.

" Does that mean you find me attractive"? He asked teasingly.

" No". Teila exclaimed.

" But you just said it now". He laughed.

She remained quiet.

Roderigo was enjoying every bit of her reaction fully. He decided he wasn't going to have sex with her tonight, at least not yet. But he was planning to toy with her to the fullest.

" Look at my face". He said and held up her chin forcing her to look at him.

Teila gulped. He looked so..hot. She was tempted to touch his face. Was he a real human or a god..? He had a dark magical eyes that seemed to pierce through the soul of anyone he looked at.

Roderigo watched her every reaction with a small smile on his face. He lifted her head up properly and slowly brought his face closer to hers.. and stopped.

Teila fearfully and curiously closed her eyes. Her heart was beating furiously in anticipation as she waited for his lips to touch hers.

After waiting for almost a minute and he still hadn't kissed her, Teila opened her eyes and found him staring at her intently. Her face flushed with embarrassment immediately. Had he been watching her all the whole time!? She prayed in her heart for the floor to open up and swallow her up instantly.

Roderigo was forced to let out a quiet laughter.

" What were you thinking"? He smirked.

" I..I.. don't..t..t Know". Teila stammered defensively.

" Were you expecting me to kiss you? I thought you said you didn't find me attractive". He teased.

At this point, Teila was tempted to scream and hit his face.

" I..I..I wasn't. I didn't". She whispered and looked away.

Why was she acting like she didn't want this some minutes ago?

" In the rule I listed to you earlier I asked that you be naked everytime you are around me, so now strip". He commanded.

Her eyes widened in fear.

" Now.."? She whispered.

He nodded.

" But t..t..the door..". she stopped.

Roderigo's eyes flew to the door. It was opened.

" Nobody comes in here without my permission baby girl. You are safe". He responded.

She hesitated. He decided to listen to her and pressed a button closed to him making the door close immediately.

" It's closed now". He said, giving her an intense stare.

Slowly, she unzipped her dress and the gown she was wearing fell to the ground. She wasn't putting on any underwear apart from a thin panties that left her butt cheek clearly in view.

She had a petite frail figure that looked like one who rarely had anything to eat.

Roderigo stared at her perky round breasts. It was neither too big nor too small. Just the perfect size to fit into one's hand.

" Why aren't you putting on a bra"? He asked, moving closer to where she stood.

" I don't..t..t own one". She stammered.

He pulled her to sit on his legs and slowly started trailing his fingers from her face down to her chest. When the tip of his fingers got to her boobs, she moaned quietly and leaned in.

Seeing the effect it had on her, he increased the pressure on the fingers and played with one of breast softly. She whimpered and pushed his free hand to the second breast.

He brought down his face and used his tongue to slowly tickle one the tip of her breast.

" Master..r..r". she moaned, pushing his head closer.

He played with one nipple with his fingers and used his tongue on the other and switched again, repeating the action for a while.

He stopped to look at her face. Her eyes were closed tightly shut and her lips were slightly parted.

A smirk formed on his face looking at her reaction. She looked so ethereal.

" Why did you..u..u stop"? She whimpered.

He was tempted to bring his lips to hers and kiss her. Her wet tiny lips were really tempting him. He wanted to take things slow with her...but..yet.
