Leila's pov -

It's currently early morning. 5 to be exact. I get up and head back inside. I'm thirsty. We stayed up late last night. We were talking.

I open the doors and walk to the kitchen. I get a water bottle from the fridge.

I get my water bottle and head to the counter. I get a chair and stood on it. I slowly hop on the counter. Being short isn't easy.

I slowly open the water bottle and drink it while swaying my legs. After I drank the water I put it down and thought what should I do.

Should I go into Damien's office? Everyone's sleeping and I could do it perfectly right now. After I pray of course.

"Queen?" I flinch at someone's voice. I turn around and see Erick. Darn now I can't go and sneak into Damien's office if he's awake.

"Good morning.." I mumble and look back at the floor from this height. I hear footsteps approach me. Why is he coming to me. Can't he go away.

I don't feel comfortable with his presence. He was looking weirdly at me yesterday.
Overdramatic you ask? Yes I am. I can't help it. I've been through being sold.

"Good morning. You look lovely" he said with a smile. I smile back and nod. That's nice but he shouldn't say that to a married women. I hate to admit it.

I tried not to respond so he gets the sign to leave. I should get off and leave. I slowly get off the chair I climbed on was pushed far away from me kicking my feet.

I sigh in annoyance and slowly try to get off but a pair of unfamiliar arms wrapped around my waist  and helped me down.

I gasp and backed away once I was on the floor. Erick was so close. What is he doing.
My eyes furrow at his actions.

"Y-you didn't have to do that. Please don't touch me" I said in a low voice slightly Intimidate by his stare.

"You're lovely" he said again looking down slowly at my slightly exposed neck so I adjust my scarf and push him away.

I didn't respond and walked away but his voice stopped me. "Queen" he said looking at me with his clenched fists. I furrow my eye brows and look at him in the eyes.

"Y-yes?" I tried to sound strong but I know it came out weak. He walked closer to me.

"I— never mind" he smiled and walked towards the outside doors. Weird...

Staring at the wall was the most I have ever done in this room. Besides sleeping. I've been in this room for the entire day.

Bored out of my mind.

I prayed and tried to sleep but I could not sleep. Something was bugging me. I fee anxious and I don't know why.

Why am I acting like this? I flinch when their was a knock on the door. I mumbled a 'come in' and Amaris came in smiling.

"Sweetie i made you some creamy shrimp pasta." She said smiling. I love shrimp. It's halal, I've tried it one time only.

I nod and she placed the tray on the nightstand and she  head to the door.

"Make sure you eat your meds. And i will collect your plates once I'm done with the laundry. Okay?" She said smiling and I nod and she slowly left.

Don't eat

I can't. It would be a waste of food.

Eat it and then throw it up

I...I can do that? I didn't even think of that. I shouldn't do that.

You can...everyone does it now days.

Oh..? One mela won't hurt. I won't gain so much weight from just this. Yeah.

Pathetic

I tear up at the inner voice. Why won't it go away. It's so clear. Am I doing something wrong. I pick up the plate and eat the pasta. It tasted so good.

I placed the empty plate on the nightstand and grab my medicine and the water. I ate the medicine and drank the water. It tasted kinda bitter. Ew.

I placed it on the nightstand and get in my sheets. It's not that dark outside but the sun is doing down.

I yawn. I feel so sleepy. Don't sleep yet.

My eyes betrayed me and I passed out.
———
My neck. Someone's putting something in my neck. I whine. It's so unclear. A rough hand touches my neck softly and cuts it.

I whine and move but was forced to stay. Open your eyes leila

Wake up

I hear some clicking and then I hear the bed get lighter as the weight went off of it. Suddenly I hear the window open loudly and shut harshly.

I flinch and open my eyes.

I was sweating crazy. I gulp and look around. It's pitch black. I whimper at the darkened and immediately open the lamp and breath slowly. What kind of dream was that.

I fix my scarf and stare at the ceiling. What was that dream. It felt so real.

Damien's pov -

"What the fuck do you mean he isn't here!!" I yelled and slammed my hand on the table. 

Xander looked at me with a uneasy expression.

"He's moved from his spot." Xander said and I clench my jaw.

Where the fuck are you renzo. I'll kill you. I swear to god I will chop you up.

You deserve fucking death. I fucking hate you. Gosh I wanna—

"Yo your phones ringing." Xander said cutting me out of my thoughts. I get my phone and yell.

"WHAT!" I yell making fists.

"I—who are you...." I hear a man on the other side spoke with a thick accent I can't guess what though.

"Who the fuck?" I said mad and yelled.

"I SAID WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!!" I yell once it was silent. And he spoke.

"Uh—..I'm Adam"
