Sold?

I woke up with a hazy vision and confused mind, sitting up and taking a look around I realized I was back in the penthouse, on the sofa in the lounge.

Lexus sat there staring at me on the sofa to my right.

"What even made you think you could run away?" He asked me with his usual tone.

"The fact that you left the controller behind."

"And it didn't occur to you why I would so carelessly leave it behind?"

"Maybe you just forgot." I looked down and then noticed the bandages on my feet. Did he call a doctor or a nurse over?

The bell rang.

"I did warn you didn't I?" He said and stood up, "One day here and you're misbehaving." My gaze followed him as he went to open up the door, letting in two men who brought in a large cage.

It gave me a shudder, it was too large for any pet. I gulped and looked at Lexus as he bid the two men off and then looked back at the cage. It was a perfect size for a person. Lexus made his way back to the sofa.

"Well then, do you have anything to say in your defense?" He had his hands in his pocket. I took a deep breath and looked at him.

"Who would want to live as a slave. You're not even a human, you're like a person with no feelings, the heck you don't even have food in your home, wait this isn't even a home, it just a house and on top of everything else you shocked me twice within 24 hours!!! And now you want to cage me?!!! Why wouldn't I run away!!!" I said everything directly and huffed after I finished.

Lexus glanced at the cage, "The cage is not for you." I looked up at him suspiciously, "It's for kid."

"Excuse me?" A kid? What kid? You want to cage a kid?

I was still processing his words when the main door banged open and a tall lady, with black hair and eyes wearing a white formal dress, stepped in.

She looked at Lexus and then at me, then she simply turned, moving a bit to the side and leaving the little girl behind her here.

I didn't notice the girl was behind the lady all this time.

She banged the door shut as she left and the little girl stared at me while Lexus crouched down on one knee.

"Uncle!!!" The girl came running while Lexus opened up his arm and caught her, she wrapped herself around him as he stood up. "Uncle who's she?" She pointed at me.

"She's my slave."

Oh my God! Did he actually tell that to a child?! Wow.

"What's a slave?"

"You don't need to know that." He put her down, "Summer, go play." He said as summer went to the main door, opened the door and brought in a dog. I was utterly confused, was the dog there all along?

"You." Lexus looked at me with his usual lifelessly cold eyes, "I'll deal with you when summer leaves." He said and walked to summer who was bringing the dog in, handed her his credit card and left.

"Hey slave!" Summer called me and I looked at her, "Let's play!!!" I sighed stood up and walked to her.

Of course I had to play with her, but after spending a little time with her I realized I was having fun too. When she was out of energy I picked her up and brought her to the sofa. "Slave. I'm hungry."

"There's no food here."

"Oh, there's never any food here." Summer's answer shocked me.

"What's that supposed to mean? Doesn't Lexus eat?"

"He does. But he can't cook and he doesn't keep any servants so he always orders out. So," She took out his credit card ,"We also order and eat anything we want!!" She passed me a toothy smile and I just couldn't resist smiling back.

"You're so different from your uncle and was that Lady who came with you, your mom?"

"My step mom. And slave don't you like uncle?"

"Not one bit."

My answer disappointed her, "Why not? Uncle is so nice."

I raised my brows, "Nice?"

She nodded her head, "Uncle is the only person in the entire world who loves me." I stared at her, maybe a cold hearted person like him has a soft spot for his niece.

"Slave. You have a weird name." Of course a seven-year-old can't understand what a slave is.

"My name is Rosalie." Just then Summer's stomach growled and I chuckled. "Let's order something."

Lexus came back around 10 pm and Summer had already fallen asleep in my arms. He walked over to me as I sat on the sofa.

"Where's kid?"

"Kid?" Who is he asking about? Clearly Summer is on my lap.

"The dog."

Oh! What? The dog's name was kid? The heck?!?!!!

"Summer sent it back since she wanted to play with me."

"Un-cle..." Summer rubbed her eyes as she woke up.

"Come here." Lexus extended his arms.

"No!" She wrapped herself around me, "I like Rosalie more!" Lexus glared at me and it sucked the life out of me.

"Su-summer go to your uncle."

"No!!" She rubbed her cheeks against my breasts, "You're soft! I like it" And she drifted into sleep again leaving me in a terribly awkward situation.

"Hand her to me." Lexus asked and I gave her to him. He took her to his room and came back a few minutes later. "Time to straighten a bad slave." He said and I gulped in fear, "Strip." He demanded.
