Chapter 6: Everything Has Changed
In the end, I didn’t even get to see his face. He was wearing a black mask, and I woke up just when he was about to take it off.
Those blue eyes, those graceful fingers, and the black mask.
A sharp pain shot through my brain, and then my head started to ache like never before. I quickly closed my eyes and concentrated on breathing deeply as I waited for the pain to subside. When I opened my eyes again, a plain white ceiling greeted me.
Where am I? Why does my body feel so heavy like this? Am I sick?
Memories from before flooded into my mind in unstoppable waves. I saw everything replay itself in front of my eyes again. It all happened so fast that my mind was forcing me to remember all the previous events.
That’s right. I was sold at an underground auction, and that man in the black mask bought me. They called him a prince, and someone injected something into my arm. I fell asleep and then woke up here.
Where is this place?
Suddenly, I started to panic about my unfamiliar surroundings. My room was small, but it was a bedroom bigger than the one I shared with the other girls at the orphanage. I was lying on a single bed; apart from the bed, there was a wardrobe, table, and two chairs. There were two doors. One was the room's exit, while the other led to a bathroom.
I gasped in shock as my hand flew to cover my mouth when I recalled the dream that I just had. Why did I dream of him? Why did I see him touching me like that?
