Chapter 9

"Book it is." He stated.

All my life I had been appreciated if I did something good ordiscovered something important, so I kept staring at him, hoping forhim to see more.

But this man was impossible ,I couldn't even replace the slightest emotionin his empty eyes. He just kept staring at me with that cold emotion ofhis.

I thought that these clues were something important so when Idiscovered them, I thought he would give me some sort of appreciationbut no I was wrong.

Soon I noticed his left hand moving in his pocket as he skillfully tookout a pair of keys and took long strides towards me.

I don't know why but his presence radiated a powerful aura from himand as soon as he moved closer to me, I could no longer look him, hispresence made me weak.

Slowly slowly, I felt him removing my chains as I kept my eyes on thefloor.

"I will arrange a congratulations ceremony in the evening, which youwill have to attend and where you will receive the second hint in theceremony.” He stated, and then vanished.

Soon some professionals came and I was taken to the guest room,which had been made into a whole dressing room. Hundreds ofdresses’ were hanging with loads of makeup and hair items waiting forme on the tables.

Soon I felt myself taking long strides towards those dresses hanging infront of me. I moved touching the soft, silk fabric of every dress. I nowstood in front of a black fishtail maxi. It was a very simple silk fish tailwith some criss cross on the collar bone area.

I really liked the dress until my gaze fell on the price which stated tenthousand dollars and then I fell still. I had never seen ten thousanddollars and today I had my hands grazing on its fabric.

I started moving towards the other dresses until I felt a hand on myback.

"We will have that one” Ozymandius pointed to the silk fishtail.

I opened my mouth to interject but until that time he was already gone.I was taken into that dressing room where I was fitted into that silkfishtail. To be honest I did not feel any happiness wearing it, instead Ifelt guilt gushing me down. There were so many people in this worldthat were homeless, starving, dying and they needed this money morethan me.

After the fitting I was taken to the makeup section in which my skin washuffed with loads of makeup. I had never put on any makeup till thisday so my skin was literally aching and the most annoying part waswhen they put on those fake lashes on my lids. It literally felt likesomething was walking on my eyes.

Soon the makeup and my hair were done and the artist told me thatshe had given me a soft subtle glam look. It had literally been twohours since I was sitting here, getting my skin and hair destroyed so theidea of freedom was the best thing I had heard all day long.

"Can you please pull my zip up” I asked the stylist, pointing at my back.She smiled at me and came close to me, when suddenly every staffmember backed down, stopped doing whatever they were doing andbowed their heads down. My eyes moved to their eyes which were fullof fear and then towards their hands which were shaking.

And soon entered the reason: Ozymandius and for some reason, thistime I also kept my head bowed. I soon felt him moving towards me,his minty breath on my ears and his hands moving on my bare back astingles shot where ever he touched me.

His hands soon found the zip as he started to zip my dress, with hisbreath direct into my ears.

He soon moved forward and took my hand in his, helping me to standand then he linked his arm into mine. That was when, I moved my gazetowards the greek god he looked in his black tuxedo.

"Now my love, I want you to listen carefully. I don't want you to leavemy sight for even a second today, and if you do, you will face theconsequences.” He whispered, his mouth leaving my ears as he placeda rough kiss on my neck.

So arm in arm, I followed him out of the room to the great hall. It wasfully decorated with white roses and tables. The stage was alsodecorated with white roses and two velvet chairs.

Flowers were a key to a girls heart, but this decoration did not meananything to me. I felt like a slave who was forced to obey his masterscommands.

As soon as we entered, everyone bowed their heads down and a softmusic started playing. Ozymandius's grip got tighter on my arm andsoon we were standing on the stage with thousands of eyes staring atme.
