Chapter 13: Angel Of Death
Ten minutes after the courtesan had left did Samantha’s client step into the room.
Samantha’s mind was occupied with worried thoughts concerning her missing brother when she heard the door click open, bringing her to face the reality that no longer waited at her doorstep.
At the mere sight of the bulky-looking man closing the door behind him, Samantha gasped in full panic, and she quickly crawled to the corner of the room beside the bed and the side table, desperately trying to blend in with the darkness so the man didn’t see her.
If it was possible for her to hide under the bed, she would. If she could dig the ground with her bare hands and bury herself beneath the earth she would. That was how desperate she was to escape from here.
Staying quiet, the man’s footsteps approaching where she hid made her squeeze her eyes shut in trepidation, the fear consuming all her senses, and she felt unexplainably dizzy.
"Where did the newfound princess hide herself? Is this your way of starting the night?" The man’s deep, rough voice made Samantha flinch uncontrollably, and she covered her mouth with her palm to avoid drawing any sort of attention to the darkness where she had camouflaged herself in.
Ba_dum! Ba_dum! Ba_dum! That was the only sound her ears could grasp presently.
"I see.... You’re pretty good at this for a first timer. Hiding away like a little helpless prey." She heard the man say with a taunting chuckle, but still made no attempt to reveal herself. "Come out, come out wherever you are. I would have loved to indulge myself in this cat and mouse game with you, but unfortunately, I have no patience for that."
In an instant, he grabbed hold of Samantha’s arm, harshly pulling her out from the darkness where she hid herself. An uncontrollable gasp escaped her lips. Samantha froze in her position, her eyes wide in shocking bewilderment as she stared into the lusty one’s of her client.
