Beg Harder by Artemis Dianne (new reading .TXT) 📗

The makeup didn't seem thick at all now that I got a good view on it, making my face look airbrushed as one of the assistants had said. The eye work had made my eyes pop nicely along with natural pink-colored lips. I reminisced on days when I had to do make up for Carly

The assistant moved her hand to air swipe a command, and drew in a sigh as she declares were on time. She quickly informed everyone to get ready to leave but not before air swiping another command and changing the mood lights inside Charle's room. 

I sat alone in Charles' dressing room, still enthralled by their quality. I'd never seen myself look this nice before, and I made a mental note that once I'm out of his clutches, I should be kind to myself and treat myself every now and then to make myself feel good.

"Beautiful," Charles exclaims, forcing me to spin around to face him. He approaches me more closely. "However, something is lacking." He removes a three-layered emerald-cut diamond necklace from his pocket and drapes it over my neck. In astonishment, I touched it. I can feel the weight of the necklace, which is adorned with so many diamonds that glitter and shine one after the other. I simply say "thank you." 

He grabbed my hand in his and led me out of the room. We rode the elevator to the top level. When the door is opened, a big minimalist setup greets us. In the center was a high-end table with matching seats for two. Thousands of flowers were hanging above me, as I've seen when Charles guides me to my seat. No wonder it smelled so fresh just like back in the cabin where I lived. 

We were brought dinner as soon as Charles was seated. Plated properly since it arrives one by one after we complete each meal. It's still a mystery how they were able to maneuver so precisely around Charles, and how does the training go for his staff to be so robotic-like. 

Just right before having cheese. Charles finally broke the silence between us.

"If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you like to do if you could have anything," Charles ask this question so casually. 

My breath hitched as these words weren't really words, he's asking this for a reason. I was dumb for believing he didn't see that binary code. 

I don't know why but that question made me look back at my life and thought of a different scenario. If only our parents remained alive, I would probably be somewhere on a beach right now just swimming all my worries away. 

I sip the wine slowly and didn't really think of my answer as I knew he was just trying to make a little conversation before he murders me. I place the glass back on the table ."A cycling bike, I'm gonna buy a vintage one and ride it." Charles just laughs and I laugh back maybe it's the alcohol in my system or maybe it's the anxiety that's been building up and maybe my end will be tonight. 

He went on to ask additional random questions and I give him responses that didn't actually signify anything. When asked why I was still a virgin, I said that I wasn't sure I was into boys. The talk had shifted to a whole other situation; I hadn't expected it as if we were just two ordinary citizens on a date, but I knew better than to let my guard down. It would be dumb again to think we're actually bonding. 

After finishing two bottles of wine. I'm feeling a little tipsy. He came closer to me touching my skin and my heart started to rise as it wants to flinch by his touch but couldn't.

He kisses me passionately and pulls away. He got up taking my hand to follow him next to the windows, and on cue, a whole team removed the whole setup clean just leaving the beautiful flowers hanging on top. 

"I won't exactly thank you for you are the reason why the virus was there in the first place.  However, you are also the reason why this new system is stronger. So for that here's a deal before midnight strikes if you get out of this building, you can have your freedom along with that billion-dollar necklace but if not you are to remain mine forever.

My feet couldn't move as Charles's words set me in stunned silence. At that moment, I didn't believe that he was actually letting me go. If this is true, the road ahead is going to be quite a challenge. I'm sure there'll be some catch that will get me slain.
