"Why is your food on the floor?" Aiden asked me.
"A maid came in and put it there." I answered.
"Pick it up." Aiden told me.
I remained seated where I was and just stared at him.
"I said pick it up!" he shouted and my heart almost burst out my chest.
I was scared of what it was he was hiding behind himself but I did as he said just to avoid trouble.
I bent down to pick up the food but he stopped me.
"On all fours. And wat directly from the plate with you mouth." Aiden ordered me.
I stared at him, feeling confused. He wanted me to eat like an animal? But why?
"Do it!" he shouted and I almost jumped.
I bent down on all fours as he had ordered me to do and the moment my lips touched the food I felt myself get whipped on the back.
I let out a loud scream and fell on my but while trying to rub on my back with nothing hands.
I looked at Aiden and saw that he was holding a whip in his right hand. That was what he kept hidden behind his back so I wouldn't see it.
"Eat!" he ordered me again.
I hesitated and started to cry.
"You think your tears can ever affect me? Haha haha haha! You lie. Now eat!" Aiden said, with no remorse whatsoever.
I had to obey and I went on all fours again to eat. And again, just as the first time, once my lips touched the food I got whipped.
This time I found myself moving my body like a fish out of water on the floor. I was screaming and crying at the same time.
The whip was so painful and had already cut through my clothes.
"Stop!" I screamed at him.
"What have I done to deserve this?! I never did anything to you! I'm not the one your father is enemies with!" I screamed again, still crying bitterly.
"You are right. It's not you. But then again, your parents have some dirt on my father and we can't do anything to them. At least not directly." Aiden said to me.
"Then what have I got to do with it?... What have I gotten to do with it?... " My voice shrank in tears as I repeated the question.
"You have gotten everything to do with it Kendra. You are their daughter and it's still same. If I can't harm them then I can harm their daughter as I wish. Now you have been delivered into my hands." Aiden said and grinned an evil grin.
"Eat!" he shouted.
I bent on all fours again with my eyes closed shut and expecting to be whipped.
Like the first two times, I was whipped and started to move my body on the floor like I had ants all over my body.
Aiden folded the whip and held tightly unto it so it wouldn't loosen.
"This will be enough lesson to you for today. Next time I ask you to do something you will do it without wasting a second." Aiden Saud then opened the door to the room and left, closing the door behind him.
I remainder on the floor and cried so much that I lost track of time.
I eventually stopped and sat at a corner on the floor in the room.
I stared at the food from a distance and I didn't want to at anything anymore.
But for the fear that he would punish me for that too I dragged the food to myself and I was diagutesd at the first bite.
Not because the food tasted bad, it didn't. I was disgusted because it had become so cold. I hated cold food with passion but now I was forced to have it cold.
I finished the food and started to doze off while I was still on the ground.
At the very last minute, when I felt like I was going to dream land, I screamed and shifted from the wall immediately my back touched it.
I hissed in pain and got up. Now because of the whipping I got, I couldn't lean on my by.
I went to the bed and lay on my stomach instead while still trying to endure the pain I felt.
I managed to fall asleep but woke up the next morning with an aching body and stiff neck.
I really hate that I am alive at this moment. Probably, just anyone would have taken their own life at this point but I couldn't.
Unlike what those who committed suicide just because they had it though, I am different.
I am different because I had something to live for... Someone to live for... and that was my baby... my Mirabella.
The truth is that there is always something or someone to live for. Suicide is just you shortening the life time given to you to change.
It's nothing but a total waste. Why would I kill myself just because things aren't going the way they should in my life when there are people out there going through worse phases and still they push?
I know and believe that one day my suffering will be over and I will be able to reunite with my daughter again.
I just have to endure and be patient just a little while longer and that is it. The reward will be great at the end of it all. I know I am not suffering for nothing.
I can do anything for my daughter. Anything...
A knick came to the door and I went to open it. There was a maid standing right before me.
"Sir said I should tell you to have your bath right away." the maid said and left.
So now Aiden wants to control me from every aspect of my life? I am sure he is just looking for more reasons to punish me again.
I took off my clothes and entered the bathroom connected to the room I was in.
I went under the shower and turned on the cold water. I flinched immediately the water touched where I believed there were marks on my back.
