Reborn- His Scarlett Moon

Chapter 15- Sherry’s POV ( His property)



” Scrub! Scrub! Scrub! ”

I was scrubbing so hard, my skin over my fingers was in danger.

I wasn’t scrubbing the toilet, I was taking my frustration out.

This Ryan had another child under him. This was full fledged child labour.

” Is your name really Bellow? Or did he come up with that? ”

It was an absurd name , even for a gangster to give.

This one was absolutely mute. He did not reply, unlike the last ten years.

I noticed scar marks all over his arms and neck. It appeared like they traveled right under his shirt, all over his body.

When I finally stood up after what was an hour long cleaning, my knee hurt. I almost could not keep standing.

It was only when I saw Bellow standing there with a pair of fresh clothes in his hand, did I realize that my skirt was completely wet. The unless buttons on my shirt had come off, exposing my black innerwear.

Thank goodness I was wearing one because most lazy days I just go ahead without that added hassle.

” Oh, thank you! ”

I tried to hold his hand and patt him for his consideration.

But the boy thrust the clothes on my hand and went out, closing the door behind him with a loud bang.

” What a brat! He looked cute but guess the vicious air around here is contagious. ”

I turned around, cleaned myself and then changed into the t-shirt and trousers that I was given.

I checked the clock. It was almost evening. I had left Baba all alone at home after quite a long time.

I needed to get back as soon as I could to check on him real quick.

” Umm, Bellow, it’s already evening and I finished my job. I will be heading out then. My father needs me. Will you kindly let me know where I have to sign before I go? ”

I waited for him to say something, anything. But that didn’t happen. He pulled me by my hands and dragged me back towards Ryan’s cabin.

” Hey Bellow. Let me go. Let go of my hand boy. Why are you being such arrogant little shit? I just asked you for the register. ”

I tried pushing him away but gosh, he was strong. He was a little guy, not even a teenager. But his grip was iron tight. So much so that it hurt a little.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

He shoved me straight inside Ryan’s office, bowed at him and left.

Ryan was sitting on his chair, with a book in his hand and his legs crossed over each other, on the table in front of him.

I felt like pulling a few hairs off that fellow, Bellow. But instead I turned towards Ryan and smiled.

Surprisingly, he smiled back.

” It seems like you enjoyed your work today. Look how it uplifts your mood. Look how you are beaming. Good. Good. It’s important to enjoy what we are doing. ”

I was starting to feel like Tom and Jerry in the presence of this being. Or maybe he was an elephant and I was an any.

He was trampling over my ego, over and over again.

Good lord, what had I done to deserve such a person?

” Umm, Mr, ummm…. ”

I didn’t know how I ought to address him.

Our first encounter was in a different setting. This however was more formal.

” Call me Boss. ”

He said, completing my hesitation.

” Ummm, well, alright, Boss, since I have completed the work for today, may I quickly run back to my place? I need to check on my father and give him some medicine. ”

He frowned.

” Who said you were done with your job? Who dared to set that time frame? ”

His voice was stern and loud, I don’t know why but that voice was almost about to make me cry.

Not out of fear or anything like that.

It was just flooding my head with unexplainable emotions. It was a strange feeling getting scolded like that. Felt like I had felt it before, sometimes far away in some distant past.

” I have been here since the morning. ” I tried looking at the clock, ” It’s well past evening. I need to check on my father. I never left him alone for this long for any job before. ”

Ryan shoved the table aside with a kick.

He stood up and walked up to me.

He stood right at my shoulder, then came closer.

He wrapped a stray bunch of my hair in his finger, then pulled my ears towards him.

” Did you not?

I wonder how long your father would have been abandoned if I had indeed decided to avail the service I had paid for.”

My body reacted in the same weird way it had behaved, when he had first touched me.

His breath against my skin did a crazy tango giggle. It made me clasp both my hands together.

” Perhaps you have become too used to being paid without working. Perhaps you have already started taking my kindness for granted. Perhaps I was too soft , too lenient. ”

Ah! He turned away from me, giving me the perfect opening to breathe and let my hands go.

My palms were sweaty.

He got me nervous, all over again.

I bowed to show him that I was sincere.

” I am not making any excuses here. I would be forever indebted to you if you let me slip this time. I can quickly go check on him, give him the medicines and then come back if there indeed is work left for me! ”

” Indeed work is left for me? What was that all about? Don’t you think you are overstepping your limits? ”

He pulled his drawer open, fetched a paper and threw it at me.

” Your life is already indebted, dear girl. From the moment you signed that contract, you became my property. “
