Chapter 6: New Owner
I still found it harder to breathe, I was literally grasping for air because of the darkness in the atmosphere like the life force was being drawn from it. The impossible silence in this office was overbearing too, I clutched the jacket around me as I tried to breathe.
Like some thick fog enveloped the area and I knew all too well where this gloaming was coming from, I hesitantly looked to my side, The angelic yet dark angel seated majestically on his seat with his arms resting on the armchair.
My eyes widened in horror, I must be seeing things because it looked like some dark forms of flames were around him, more like emitting off him and hanging in the air.
’You’re seeing things’ I mentally told myself as I looked away but I was unable to deny that this was one of the things I could see and others can’t. This was far worse than anything I have ever felt and what made it worse, this very man owns me now.
"L-Let’s get to the details" The Grandmaster began opening a file, I could tell he was shuddering although he remained composed right now, I could see the sweat breaking from his forehead and his blue eyes pinned on my owner like if he looks away he would get his head taken off, I don’t blame him though because it felt like my owner would actually do it.
"A-Ava, age 21, no family of any sort so her attachment to this world is none, there won’t be a problem"
"Education?" at his voice I shivered again, the very tone of his luscious voice was affecting me and I had no idea why.
"W-Well her caretaker did say she was given some sort of education when she was in the orphanage, she can read and write although I don’t know how far" he answered in a shaky tone. "That is all" he stamped the file and shifted it to my owner.
"I require your signature and then the deal is set. She belongs to you until you choose otherwise, fairly if you don’t have any use of her anymore you can bring her back, and we would give you a 30% refund"
"You’re highly mistaken, Grandmaster" he reached for the small pocket on his suit and brought out a black pen with a golden tip.
"Hmm?"
"I have no intention of discarding a property" he signed the space and saw his golden signature on the white paper and my gaze trembled. Did he just call him a property? I was not an object! I chewed the inside of my mouth.
