Episode 5

We got out of the car where a man was waiting for us. He handed me over to this man and picked up a briefcase. The man looked me up and down, but made a strange face, like he didn't like me.

"Are you sure she's the one my boss bought?"

"Of course, and you'd better not question that with my boss, he gets very upset when he's contradicted." He looked at me again and said ok. He took my hand and led me into the house.

I watched his car disappear, and after I couldn't see it anymore, I followed the man into the house, where the lights were very dim, which increased the terror inside. Seriously, it looked like the witch's house from the fairy tale books.

A large silhouette appeared in the middle of the darkness, I could see him, but not perfectly, as the house was a little dark. His words scared me, it seemed like he had bought a woman, but I wasn't the one chosen. Afraid of dying, I begged to stay, and ended up earning my stay here at the house.

He called the maid and she took me to the room, told me to take a shower and sleep, because at that time she shouldn't even be awake. I kept quiet, because I saw that she didn't like me very much, or was in a bad mood for having woken up in the early morning just to bring me here.

I went into the bathroom and took a shower, I had never seen so many beauty products, much less with such a good smell. My father didn't care if we ran out of shampoo at home, he would make me use soap until I got money to buy some. I guess selling women doesn't make that much money.

After washing, I wrapped myself in the towel and left the bathroom. The problem is, what clothes am I going to wear? The woman who took care of me always said we couldn't wear the same clothes after bathing, but the closet here is empty. I took a deep breath, and with all the courage I had, I left the room and went to the dark wooden door, as soon as I entered, I saw a completely dark room.

This must be his room. I looked on top of the bed and took my doubts away, because his mask was right on top of it. I took it in my hands and looked closely. I even put it on my face just to see how I looked. Then I put it back on the bed and went to his closet, a shirt would serve me as a dress.

As I was choosing one that wasn't too thin, I heard his scream behind me, and I was startled, jumping back with everything. He looked at me and ran his eyes over my body and I looked at his which was nothing like mine. I looked down and saw that my towel had fallen down.

"Ta...take your towel." He stammered and I bent down to pick up my towel and wrapped myself up again. He still stood there looking at me.

Until he started walking towards me, with slow steps. His eyes were dark, which made me a little scared and made me step back until my back hit the glass door. He placed one hand on either side of my body, and brought his face closer to mine. But when our noses met, he closed his eyes and lowered his head.

"Amelia, you can't walk around the house like this." He spoke and walked away. "I'm a man, and I've been in a dry spell for a long time, but I don't want to hurt you."

"I don't understand what you're talking about, you're the first man I've ever seen without a shirt. I always thought we were all the same." He looked at me with a frown.

"Were you really raised in a tower?"

"In a room. I never left the house, the first time was today. I never went to school, everything I know was from a woman my father hired to teach me to read, write and do math."

"You're 18 years old and you don't know anything about sex?" I frowned, for I had never heard that word spoken. "One more reason for you to stay away from me, I'm a monster and I don't want to corrupt you."

"Your chest is different from mine, why?" I went closer to him and he just stared. I put my hands on his chest and it felt so good. He started to pant, and I looked into his eyes. He grabbed my hands, removing them from his chest, and stepped away from me. I looked down at him and saw that in his towel was a strange thing, as if there was a piece of wood pushing it just at that point.

"Go to your room, Amelia, we'll talk tomorrow, today is not a good day for this."

"Why?" He rolled his eyes and took my arm. "I don't have any clothes here, and I can't stay in a towel, I'll get sick."

He let go of me, opened the closet door, took a red shirt from inside and handed it to me. He took my arm again, and led me to his bedroom door.

"Let me ask just one more question. If our chests are different, is the bottom part different too?" He slammed the door in my face, not answering my question. My God, what did I do wrong? Will he kick me out of his house because I was being nosy?

I went to my room, took off my towel and looked at myself in the mirror. I have some scars from the beatings I got from my father, especially on my back and the back of my leg. He has the scar on his face that made him bitter, but that's no reason to be so grumpy.

I put on the shirt he gave me and lay down on the bed to sleep. The bed so soft, so warm, I don't even feel like getting up. I woke up in the morning with someone coming into the room, and when I looked, it was yesterday's maid bringing my clothes.

"Sorry for my bad mood yesterday, but I get like that when I'm woken up in a hurry. Here are your clothes, washed and dried. The boss told me not to delay coming down, because he needs to talk to you."

I nodded and got up. I did my hygiene, put on my clothes and went down looking for him. Until the same maid said he was in his office, and as soon as I entered, I saw him in one chair and my father in another. My father turned his face to me with his usual angry expression, but then he smiled and stood up. This is the first time he has smiled at me.
