The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Chapter 45

Edna

"Take her into the shed." Qui said.

Gashi and Orion acted immediately. Each of them grabbed one of my arms before dragging me towards the shed.

Gashi used his free hand to push the door to the wooden shed open.

They took me to the shed. The interior of the shed was as wretched as the ulterior. More rats were moving around. The sound of their claws scratching against the floor was uncomfortable to hear. The shed was bare. There was nothing in it except a thin mat.

Gashi and Orion dropped me. I bit my bottom lip as I prepared myself for what was coming.

Apparently, my preparation wasn't enough. The moment Qui's hand landed on my knees, I screamed.

Pain bloomed in that area. The nerves in my knees were throbbing painfully. I couldn't breathe properly.

More blows fell.

My eyes saw stars.

I couldn't confirm if the sounds my ears were hearing were my screams or something else. Everything blended into a chaotic mess.

I didn't even know when the blows stopped coming. I was in agony.

There was no part of my body that didn't hurt. I curled myself into a fetal position.

Finally, the pain seemed to reduce a little.

I cracked my eyelids open.

Gashi and Orion were standing beside Qui.

Qui squatted beside me and wrapped a lock of my hair on his finger.

"See, I am going to give you good advice. In this place, only Madam Tayo's words goes. It will be in your best interest to obey her. I heard you were almost wedded to the King, forget all those things. Now, you are just one of the many prostitutes to the dignified customers coming to this establishment." He said.

Qui's voice was unusually loud to me.

He continued, "Forget your background, forget any little thoughts you might be having. It is very, very hard for anybody to leave this place after coming here. In your case, you don't even have the same slim chance of leaving that others have. Edna, for your sake, do what is necessary. Taking my advice is up to you. I am not tired of teaching disobedient people a lesson."

I wanted to reply to sarcastically but moving anything in my body would send me into a spiral of pain.

I wasn't going to do that kind of painful task for someone like Qui. He didn't deserve it.

Qui and his goons left the shed. The sound of the door slamming shut was damaging to the ears.

The moment they left, the rats in the shed seemed to have taken a potion filled with boldness. They came closer to me and nibbled on the exposed parts of my body. My hand moved and I swatted them away.

Intense pain accompanied my actions.

It didn't work. If I pushed one away, two more would take its place. These rats were like tireless machines.

Rat poops littered everywhere. It was disgusting. I could feel bile rising from the depths of my stomach.

Every single part of my body was uncomfortable.

I have no choice but to lie down there in the filth.

I stayed in one position for a long while. I don't know how much time had passed. I have stopped trying to fight the rats. I just let them be.

Jelena, Madame Tayo, Tekita and the rest should better hope that I don't get out of the current situation I am in.

If I do, I would pay them back in their own coin. I would return their favor in a thousand folds.

The door to the shed squeaked as it was pushed open. I didn't open my eyes.

The person that walked into the shed scanned my body with their eyes. I could feel their heated gaze on my skin.

The person dropped something on the floor noisily before turning around to leave.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

The pain in my body was making me regret my decision to go against Madam Tayo directly.

I had been impulsive. I shouldn't have shredded the book Madam Tayo gave me. I should have stayed low-key for a while.

The shed door closed in a noisy way. After a while, I opened my eyes to see what the stranger that came in brought into the shed.

It was a metallic bowl with a cover.

The bowl was old and the color had already faded. The surrounding rats stopped trying to nibble on my body. Their focus settled on the bowl. The annoying rats rushed to where the bowl was placed.

Seeing them trying to touch what was in the bowl gave me strength to move.

The way the rocks try to enable on my body or disgust me in every way possible didn't matter, I can still stomach it.

Their bodies and teeth were touching my skin. That was still bearable.

A thorough bath would wash all the diseases and germs they might bring away.

What I cannot stomach is eating the food the rats have touched or pooped in.

Even thinking of it was causing me nausea.

I crawled to the bowl and moved my hand threateningly to scare the rats away.

The rats moved away from the bowl but they didn't go too far.

Their beady black eyes stared at me greedily as I opened the bowl.

A loaf of bread and a tiny bottle of water was in the bowl.

I stared at the food in front of me for a brief second.

The bread didn't look fluffy or soft at all.

Alas, I have no choice. Eating would give me strength to retaliate and plan.

A weak and hungry person would not be able to change anything.

I don't want to lock myself in a vicious cycle because of my stubbornness.

I grabbed the bottle of water and washed my hands. In my opinion, my hands were not too clean. There was no other option though. I have to manage it.

I brought the hard loaf of bread to my lips as I stared at the shed door.

Right now, the only thing burning in my head was revenge.

Any thoughts related to the remnants of humanity-that were in the spaceship and this planet-was thrown to the back of my mind.

Before I address any issue about humanity, the people that crossed me must pay.
