The Billionaire Mafia’s Slave

CHAPTER 13: A COMPLETE PSYCHOPATH

LILY’S POV:

I woke up in a strange room, it was in all white and black and gray.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Was I dead?”, I asked aloud.

“Uhm, I’m pretty sure you are not dead”, Someone said.

I quickly turned to the voice, it was a man in a lab coat and a stethoscope around his neck.

“Who are you?”, I asked him, I became wary of him even though he had a friendly smile on his face.

“I’m Nate… Nikolai’s personal doctor”, he said, a hand stretched towards me for a handshake.

‘Nikolai? is this man lost?’, I wondered.

He took his hand away since he didn’t get a handshake and then it dawned on me.

“Wait! Nate? as in Nathan Benson?!”, I asked. He nodded with a bigger smile on his face.

Who didn’t know Nathan Benson the third, his family has a long history in the hospital business from his great-grandfather.

His dad, an esteemed surgeon, Dr. Nathan Benson II and his mom, a skilled gynaecologist, Dr. Elizabeth Benson.

They have established a network of state-of-the-art hospitals that are highly regarded all over America.

And Nate? He is one of the most successful, rich and handsome bachelor following in the family line of doctors.

“Yes! Nate as in Nate Benson the third! hahaha”, he laughed.

I sat up almost immediately, forgetting there was a drip connected to my arm.

“Oh careful!”, He said, helping me sit up properly.

“I-I I’m so so sorry if I sounded r-rude just now”, I quickly apologized.

I felt like the ground should just open and swallow me whole, ‘What was I even thinking?!’, I scolded myself.

“Nahh, it’s okay. You just gained consciousness and you saw a strange man… I would react the same way you did”, he said and we both laughed.

Then I remembered, I’m sick!

“Wait? You’re here to treat me?”, I asked in surprise.

This was Nate! He wouldn’t have the time to leave his extremely busy schedule just to treat unpopular me.

He was more busy with very popular and rich people.

“Yes. You passed out over a high fever”, he said.

“Oh my… how long was I unconscious?”.

“Not that long, I think…”, he looked at his wrist watch to confirm, “… about 5 to 6 hours now. But after giving you a dose of injection and letting you rest, the fever has subsided”, he explained.

“Thank you so much, I thought I would have died!”, I said.

Then I remembered I’m a prisoner in this mansion, but whose room is this?

I looked around and I didn’t see any guard or maid, it seems it was just me and Nate. I think he can help me get out of here, I mean he’s a doctor, isn’t saving people’s lives his job?

“Nate, you have to help me”, I whispered to him, scared if he would believe me.

“Go on”, He came closer and paying attention to what I wanted to say.

“I-I don’t know how this is g-going to sound but… I’m not here on my own free will. I was kidnapped, drugged and sold in some sort of human auction. S-some crazy guy bought me for 50 million dollars!”, I said in a very shaky voice.

I didn’t get any response from him, his mouth was on a straight line, one of his brow was raised and he just stared at me.

“Look, I know it sounds really unbelievable and crazy, b-but please, you have to help me out of here before that psycho comes back!”, I pleaded with him.

I have been in here for a month, a prisoner and I have missed the outside world, I couldn’t think of what my dad was going through.

He still didn’t say anything and sighed, I wanted to explain things better for him when I heard someone say something for the room we were in.

“Psycho?… Sounds harsh”.

My jaws dropped when I saw the figure come out from a dark corner in the room.

‘IT IS HIM!!!’, I screamed in my head.

He walked towards us with a faint smirk on his face, he stood behind me in his full glory, he is really tall, I think he should be above 6 feet tall, broad shoulders and dark eyes.

“I will be on my way now Nikolai”, I heard Nate say. ‘They knew each other?’, I asked myself in shock.

“Thank you again for coming, I know how busy you are”, The guy, which I just heard Nate call him Nikolai, said.

“Nahh, it’s nothing. You know I owe you my life”, Nate said.

The shock on my face kept growing bigger and bigger.

Nikolai saw Nate off to the door and Nate said some things to him and I could see Nikolai’s jaw tighten. I didn’t hear what they talked about.

Nate left and it was left with just me and… Nikolai.

The devil! He bought me and had me locked up for weeks.

‘At least he hasn’t force you or demanded sex’, My inner thoughts scolded me. She was right though.

He slowly moved towards me with both his hands in his pocket, he sat down at a chair next to the bed I was lying on.

His eyes never leaving me, he didn’t say anything to me but I could see he was mad at me.

I suddenly felt hot and uncomfortable, that was when the room became interesting to look at.

The painting of the room was black and white, no much furnitures and the art paintings on the wall were all sad looking. I noticed I was laying on a king-size bed, it was so huge.

“Miss Lily”, he called me back from my distractions.

I reluctantly turned to him with a guilty look on my face.

“Why don’t we address the fact you called me insane… twice. I can’t remember doing anything crazy to you”. He said.

‘What?! How can he say he didn’t do anything to me?’, I asked myself in anger. If this guy wants to start something, I won’t back down from a fight.

“Uhm, you did do something terrible to me”, I scoffed.

“Really? Mind jogging my memory?”, He sat back and folded his arms, paying attention to me.

“Well for starters, you bought me as a slave, then you brought me to your mansion just to lock me up in a cold dark room for weeks till I almost died!!”, I angrily told him.

He sat forward and his eyes darkened, it looked like it was some nuclear weapon, waiting to be tampered with. I got scared for a minute, ‘Would he hurt me?’, I asked myself.

I knew I shouldn’t have said all those stupid stuff, I felt like smacking my mouth.

“Almost died? I saved your fucking little life girl. If I haven’t placed my bid on you that day, some fucking person would have gotten to you and you would be presently warming their bed morning, afternoon and night!”. He said and he looks really angry.

‘I should be the one mad!’, I said in my head.

“But still! If you’re a good person like you claimed you were, you would have let me go back to my life instead of keeping me locked up here until I got sick!”, I wasn’t going to back down, he’s a monster!

“I never said I was a good person Lily”, He said, grinning wickedly.

The way he said my name sent chills down my spines. I almost got lost in his dangerous eyes that were so dark.

“But st-still, please let me go, please”, I pleaded with him, sounding so desperate. If he wants me to kneel before him I would.

“I can… but I won’t”, He brought my hopes up and left it crumbling down, shattering to million pieces.

“Wha–“, I couldn’t complete my words before he spoke again.

“I won’t let you go because I have some scores to settle with your father and you my dear, are a living collateral”, he declared and stood up to go.

I was shocked, ‘Papa? what did he do and how did he know Papa?’, I wondered.

“What do you mean? Wait– wha– Let me go!! Please”, I struggled to get out of bed but I had those stupid ropes still connected to my arm.

I heard him tell the guards by the door to lock me back in that room and I cried, still begging him but he didn’t even look back and left.

‘What type of business does he have with Papa? Is he using me to blackmail Papa?’, if that was the case, that’s so petty of him.

Then again, what can I expect from a criminal.

I was still trying to wrap my head around what Nikolai just said when his guards came in to forcefully take me back to that cursed room. I screamed and kicked, I begged them but they turned a blind eye.

I was thrown into the room and they locked the doors and stood outside of it.

I cried for hours, feeling weak again. That monster didn’t even let me finish with my treatment, he’s definitely the devil’s incarnate.

Then I feel asleep.
