"Music!" Louis's voice echoed several times in Skylar's head as she finally realized that she was in big trouble.
He wasn't punishing her for being late, he was dealing with her for going inside the art room. She thought he had forgotten about it since she told him that she couldn't dance.
Who would have thought that this devil still remembers?
"Music?" Skylar pretended like she didn't understand what he meant.
"Start dancing," Louis ordered as soon as the music was played.
Skylar looked around and she could see the guards and maids standing there. How could she dance before the male guards?
Why is he so hell-bent on humiliating her?
"Louis, I already told you that I can't dance." Skylar reminded him.
The atmosphere around suddenly dropped as Louis's eyes darkened dangerously. His lips thinned.
"Dance," Louis repeated; paying no attention to her words.
"Louis, please, I can't." Skylar pleaded.
Her voice cracked as more tears threatened to roll out. She had done so well to send the tears back but now it was coming back.
"Dance!" Louis hissed, his voice as loud as thunder; Echoing around the room.
Skylar shivered as his voice sent cold shivers down her entire body.
"Please Louis, don't make me dance." Skylar pleaded.
"Why?" Louis sniggered.
"I don't know how to." Skylar looked down at her feet to hide her face.
She isn't a good liar and she was afraid that Louis would find out that she was telling a lie.
Everyone close to Skylar knew that she was a great dancer but she just couldn't bring herself to dance before a monster like Louis.
Especially not when his guards are around.
"Alright then," Louis replied.
Skylar was about to rejoice, He finally let her go.
She thought she had escaped when Louis added, "Guess you need a teacher."
"Huh?" Skylar's eyes widened with shock.
Did he just say, teacher?
Why would he want to get a dance teacher for her?
Was this punishment so important that he couldn't wait to see her dance?
"I don't..."
"Jonas," Louis called. "Teach her."
He sounded frivolous as he spoke. Did he think all this was a joke?
"What?" Skylar lost her footing as she heard him.
Did he just ask his bodyguard to teach her?
"Come madam," The guard moved forward. He waltzes around the room with his hand open.
He danced lazily around the room but his eyes were on Skylar.
"Is this really happening?" Skylar screamed inwardly.
She glanced at the guard dancing proudly around the room and it finally dawned on her that her life was worse than she had thought.
"Stop," Louis ordered.
Jonas stopped moving as the music stopped. He bowed to Louis and he waved his hand in dismissal.
"Begin!" His eyes were fixated on Skylar as he spoke.
Skylar knew he was telling her to dance right before the guards.
She closed her eyes and gathered the amount of courage needed to tackle this demon.
Skylar opened her eyes and she started dancing. She took a final glance around. She pursed her lips and clenched her fist.
She shut her eyes tightly and she started twerking and whining to the music.
Louis's lips curled up seeing her dance so well. He knew she could dance from the beginning.
He is Louis Anderson. He wouldn't deal with anyone without knowing all about them and such was the case with Skylar. He has done his homework on her. Hence, there was nothing she could hide about herself.
Skylar kept dancing until she became breathless. She opened her eyes to ask Louis if she could stop dancing but she what she saw.
The living room was empty!
It turns out that she had been dancing all by herself.
There was no sign of Louis or the guards. The maids were nowhere to be seen either. Everyone had disappeared.
Skylar turned around in search of them but they were nowhere in sight. She sighed and took a seat on the chair.
Why has Louis decided to torment her?
Skylar pursed her lips and clenched her fist; tight enough that her nails dug into her palm. She picked up her slippers and sauntered towards the stairs.
She didn't know if she should be happy that she didn't dance before the guards or be sad that he made her dance yet still walked away like it didn't matter.
What was expecting anyway?
She didn't expect Louis to watch her dance and then clap for her after her beautiful performance, was she?
Skylar hung her head in shame as she walked the stairs. Her legs suddenly felt heavy. Her life was nugatory.
Mrs. Alisa stepped out and sighed seeing Skylar's state.
The boss was being so unfair to his wife but who was she to tell him this?
Could she dare to interfere in Louis's life?
Skylar returned her shoes to the closet and took off her clothes and she changed into her pajamas.
She let her hair down and walked out of the closet. She suddenly felt tired.
She was about to lie down on the bed when she felt someone hold her.
She tried to turn to see who it was but the hand tightened around her waist and made her stand straight.
She could already tell who he was from his cologne.
Skylar's heart suddenly started thumping very fast.
Was he going to exert his right as her husband?
"You can't go to sleep just yet," Louis whispered. His hoarse voice couldn't hide the desire hidden behind his words.
"I can't sleep? Skylar wanted to turn again but Louis held her tightly.
His hand squeezed lightly on her boobs as he rubbed his face against her hair.
"Louis! Skylar yelled as she pushed him.
Though she exerted enough force to throw him off balance, Louis stood unmoved. He was strong.
Besides, he was already prepared to get pushed by her.
"What? Louis groaned.
His voice sounded low and lustful.
"You can't do that to me!" Skylar struggled to free but Louis didn't let go of his hold on her breast.
"What? He asked flatly.
Seeing her dance earlier got him so turned on. Those moves were amazing. She worked her waist expertly.
"I...I..."
"You're shy?" Louis asked. His hands moved slowly around her body.
"I....I.. don't.... want..."
"You don't want this?" Louis hissed; his eyes darkened dangerously. He turned her around and made her look at him.
"I .... don't feel...."
Louis saw the reluctance in her eyes. She was biting her lips and fiddling with the hem of her dress.
"You have to bear your punishment, remember?
"Huh?" Skylar was stunned to hear that.
Was he doing this just to punish her?
She could feel her blood boil as he touched her. She felt disgusted.
"You'll serve me tonight." He nibbled on her ear.
"I won't!" Skylar pushed him off her.
Louis's face became dangerously frosty. His eyes turned bloody as he staggered from being pushed by her.
She dared to push him!
Skylar rushed towards the door but Louis caught her in time before she could open it. He carried her on his shoulder and threw her on the bed.
"I own you! Louis hissed.
He tore open her clothes and placed rough kisses around her body.
"And you have no right to refuse me!"
