Sold to the Ruthless Master

Mariam Pov

The next morning…

I opened my eyes blearily and look around the room.

Gosh!

I can’t believe it’s morning already.

I feel like sleeping the whole day.

I held the duvet toy chest tightly and tried standing up but I ended up falling on the bed, I whimper in pains and took a glance at my thighs.

He really hurt me last night.

I can’t believe he had sex with me after all these years.

I couldn’t even fight it because he’s a sex freak, fighting it will be so useless.

I heard the door creaked open and he entered with a parcel in his hands.

I look down at my duvet shyly and he walk up to me, he sit beside me on the bed and I fiddle the duvet nervously.

“Good morning”I greeted and he smiled.

“How was your night?”He asked pecking me and I move away from him a little.

“Fine”

“Will you go take your bath now?, I got a dress for you”He asked and I nodded.

“Thanks, I’ll just go take my bath”I said trying to stand up but he pull me back.

“Are you avoiding me?, or you regretted we had sex last night?”

“Can we not tall about this, please”I said calmly and he nodded.

He pull the duvet down my body and scoop me into his arms before carring me to the bathroom.

He tried helping me take my bath but I declined politely.

After taking my bath, I walk to the room feeling refreshed, he helped me arrange my dress and I quickly put it on.

Then, my phone rang and he help me pick it, he hand it over to me and I realized it’s my mom.

“Hi mom, Good morning”I greeted arranging my hair.

“Mariam, you have to come down to the hospital now, I don’t know how you will go about it but try to look for money, the doctors stopped his treatment last night because we aren’t able to pay, he’s dying”She said panicking and a tear slipped down my eyes, Daniel noticed this and walk up to me.

“Okay, I’m coming right away”I said quickly and cut off the call.

“Is there a problem?”He asked and I nodded.

“My son is sick, the doctor stopped the treatment last night because I wasn’t able to pay, Please help”I sniffed and he scoffed.

“Are you talking about my child?”

“Y… yes”I nodded.

“Go take your bag, we are going to the hospital now”He said quickly packing his phones and I nodded.

I didn’t bother to pick my former dress before rushing out of the house.

Oh!

My baby, please me safe for me.

I cried profusely as he open the car door for me, he hop into the car after that and drive out of the compound.

I gave him the direction of the hospital and soon, we got there, I rush out of the car and ran like a mad woman into the hospital, Daniel also ran behind me and immediately we got to the minors ward, Mom rush to me.

“Where’s he?”I asked panicking and she led me to his bed.

I sit beside him on the bed and he shut his eyes tightly.

“My baby, mom is here”I said pecking his cheeks and he open his eyes slowly.

I smiled sadly as he tried speaking but I stopped him, I smoothened his hair as I watch him in admiration, he’s just the exact replica of Daniel.

“Who’s this?”Mom whispered and I press my lips.

“Daniel, Chris Dad”

“Really?”She asked in shock and I nodded.

“Hi ma’am”He greeted bowing a little and mom nodded.

“Why did you ignore us since all these days?”

“I’m so sorry ma’am, I can explain”He apologized and Chris stretch his hand to him.

He collected it and kiss it softly, I stood up from the bed and he sat beside him.

“Daddy”He said in a faint whisper and he smiled.

“Don’t stress yourself okay, I’m here for you”He said assuring him and he nodded.

Chris stood up slowly from the bed and his him tightly, he burst into tears on his shoulders and I fought back my own tears.

“Let’s go home, I don’t want to stay here anymore”He said pouting and Daniel chuckled.

“Wait a little bit okay, you’re going home today, let me talk to the doctor”

“Then let’s go together, I don’t want you to leave again”

“Okay”Daniel laughed and he carry him on his shoulders.

“I’ll lead you to the doctor”I said calmly and he nodded, we both walk out of the room.

I screamed in anger as I smash the glass cup on the wall.

That daughter of a bitch didn’t eat the food, Did she know I added something there?

Why won’t she eat it?

I ruffled my hair bitterly before walking out of the room.

I think I know what to do.

It’s time to teach her a lesson.

I groaned as I vomit heavily inside the tub.

Gosh!

The morning sickness!

I wash my mouth and face tiredly before walking out of the toilet.

I walk back to the kitchen and put off the cooker before pouring the food inside a small warmer, I added two flat plates on the tray and a jug of water with glass cup before going to his room to serve him breakfast.

“Good morning sir”I greeted bowing slightly and he nodded.

I drop the food on the table and start dishing it, after serving it, he walk to the dinning.

He grab the spoon and scoop some stew into his mouth, his face look crumpled and I got confused.

What’s wrong?

He suddenly spit out the stew and turned to me in anger.

“Why is the food this salty?”
