" Finally ! We really have our scapegoat. Therefore, the preparations for my wedding can begin. Thank you very much Dad. You are the best of fathers. " Imaleya said grinning, clapping her hands with happiness.
Then JIM comes closer to his daughter and he gives her a hug.
" I will do anything to make you happy my darling. Don't even worry anymore. The situation is under my control now." He gave her assured smile.
After laughing for a few minutes with her father, Imaleya decides to visit her boyfriend.
Indeed, Imaleya has a boyfriend she loves very much and his name is Yang. She has been with him for a year and her father JIM is unaware of this relationship.
She loves Yang so much that she prefers to hide her affair with him because if her father Jim finds out about this, he will make Yang a scapegoat and he will be killed.
She prefers to inherit the family business first and only after that she will introduce Yang to her father Jim.
••• TWO HOURS LATER •••
Pedro was lying on the bed in his bedroom and he was bored.
Since he's been in Tokyo he's been locked in this room and he only comes out of there if he wants to go to the toilet or if his master asks to see him.
JIM has chosen one of his bodyguards to watch him so he doesn't escape.
Suddenly, Pedro wanted to walk around the house without setting foot outside. So he leaves his room and goes to the living room when a bodyguard blocks his way .
" Where are you going young man? " he asked arrogantly, raising his eyebrows.
" I'm not going anywhere. I just want to walk to the living room and come back to my room. It's a way to walk around without leaving the house because I'm very bored." answered Pedro him, with a hint of irritation in his voice.
" I'm sorry but go straight back to your room young man." the bodyguard asked him.
The bodyguard was following orders what he has got from JIM.
" But I just want to go to the living room. I'm not leaving the house." Pedro insisted, and try to reason out him.
He felt like he was a bird who had been caged.
Despite everything Pedro said, the bodyguard refused to let him pass. This is how they argued until JIM SIMAO came out of his office and walked towards them, frowning.
He was furious because Pedro and the bodyguard were making noise in the house and it was disturbing him.
" What's going on here? " JIM snapped them angrily.
Without waiting any longer, the bodyguard explained the whole situation to his boss and when Pedro was also about to speak, he received a slap followed by a violent punch on the face by bodyguard.
Immediately, blood came out of his nose.
" Pedro! Go back to your room right away " JIM said frowning.
He rolled his eyes and did not have any of Pedro wounds.
Without waiting any longer, Pedro executed. As a true prisoner he silently bear his pain inside his heart.
JIM on his side, went back to his office.
Later, JIM was talking on the phone with an associate when a second bodyguard informed him that he had a visitor.
" Who is it? " JIM interrogate him, putting the phone aside.
" It's Doctor Alvaro." The bodyguard answered.
"Alright, Bring him to me," Jim Ordered his bodyguard.
While his mind was preoccupied that things works as he have planned it. Indeed, Doctor Alvaro is the personal doctor of the SIMAO family.
Jim asked to the doctor to get him a poison that kills quickly. It is with this poison that he plans the death of Pedro.
Thus, after greetings from both sides, Dr. Alvaro gives Jim a black bottle in which there is a liquid solution. It is a very strong poison that kills in less than an hour. The majority of victims of this poison die of a heart attack.
" Thank you very much doctor. I believe I will follow your instructions exactly for the use of this poison." Jim smirked evilly looking at the black bottle.
After their conversation, the doctor leaves and a few hours later, Jim goes to Pedro's room. He opens the door without knocking and notices that Pedro was eating sandwiches.
He lunged to him angrily and kick the plate of sandwich that it fell down on the ground with a thud voice.
" Who served you this sandwich? " he snapped angrily, clenching his teeth.
" It's the cook " Pedro answered slowly. His legs were wobble with fear and adrenaline pumped through his body
“ Since when does the cook serve you food without my consent?”
“I don’t know Sir.” Pedro mouth went dry.
The glare and disgust expression of JIM was increasing terror in Pedro’s heart.
“ You wanted to take a walk, didn’t you?” JIM asked while furrowed his eyebrows.
Pedro slowly nodded his head as agreeing to his statement.
“Follow me, Now.” Pedro ordered him in harsh voice.
What he has been going through with Jim SIMAO for a week is very embarrassing and he has had several opportunities to run away, but each time he remembers the promise he made to his adoptive father Mourinho, it prevents him from escaping.
••• LATER •••
JIM SIMAO invited Pedro to lunch in a luxury restaurant. They weren't alone. There were also some of Jim's friends and associates. They were bankers, doctors, and businessmen. They were all seated around one table and Pedro was the only young man among them. After a while, Jim gets up taking a glass full of wine.
" Today I would like to celebrate something. Something that will come true thanks to this young man who is among us. His name is Pedro and he is my slave." He said looking at his associates.
One of them stands up and asked him:
" But we are in the 21st century my friend. Are there still slaves today? "
At this question, all of Jim's other friends and associates laughed. They were all making fun of Pedro.
" I confess that I don't know if there are still slaves nowadays but Pedro is my slave because I bought him at a huge price. He cost me 20 million dollars " JIM said boasting his money to his friends.
" 20 million dollars for a young man like him? But that's huge " replied another of Jim's associates.
That's how JIM and his associates started joking about the $20 million that was used to buy Pedro.
Meanwhile, Pedro was sitting on his chair and he was shaking. He was so angry but unfortunately he couldn't defend himself. After a while, Jim asks him to also take a glass of wine and drink like the others.
Pedro executed and when it was time to drink this wine, Jim snatched the glass from him and threw it on the ground. The glass breaks and the drink scatters on the floor.
" Stand up and pick up the glass. " Jim said, pointing at the ground.
He was proving his friends that Pedro was a slave for him who will follow his orders.
Pedro gets up and walked feebly towards the ground. He picked up the broken glass pieces slowly.
As he was done with one order, the another order was given to him.
Then Jim ordered him to squat down and lick the wine that was on the ground.
" Lick everything until not a drop of wine remains on the floor." Jim ordered, while his eyes sparkled with evilness.
" Okay sir." Pedro murmured slowly.
Meanwhile Jim's friends and associates laughed endlessly.
“ I would also like to have an slave like this Jim.” an associate said, while enjoying Humiliations of Pedro.
" I could borrow you Pedro for a few days and you can use him however you want, my friend." Jim answered with a smug smile.
" If he's done licking the floor, let him come clean my shoes. " the associate said, putting his legs forward for Pedro to lick.
" Dear friends ! Stop this please . Don't ridicule this young man like that anymore. He's also a human like us. Even though he's poor and he's an slave, I think that's abnormal to treat him like an animal." another of Jim's associates interrupted them in between humiliating Pedro.As soon as this associate finished speaking, JIM SIMAO frowned." I think we've had enough fun moment. While my slave is licking the wine that's on the floor, we other are going to eat." Jim shrugged his shoulder, and averted his gaze at the associate who had just defended Pedro.JIM SIMAO is so influential in Japan that no one dares to criticize his habits. What this associate had just said made him so angry that he decided to react immediately. So, he ordered his bodyguards to attack the associate and beat him." In case there is still someone else here who dares to talk to me like this idiot did, know that I will not sit idly by without reacting " He said in rude tone, glaring at the associate who had def
••• SEVERAL HOURS LATER •••Imaleya wakes up and she discovers that she was in a hospital. She had body aches and she couldn't straighten up. Her father Jim and some bodyguards were also present at her side." Boss! Miss is awake." One of the guards was informed the nurse.Furious, Jim scolds his daughter. Next, he wanted to know the identity of the young man who was with her during the accident. It is at this moment that the personal doctor of the SIMAO family, doctor Alvaro enters the hospital room of Imaleya and he asks Jim to calm down.“ You can ask her your questions later. She needs to rest because she suffered a great shock. Luckily she's fine. “ The doctor said calmly.In fact, after the accident, Pedro rushed to get Imaleya out of the vehicle and took her to safety. Then he wanted to do the same with Yang but unfortunately the vehicle exploded. Consequently, Yang was burned by the fire from the explosion. After that, several people approached the scene of the accident and a
" Pedro ! Thank you very much for saving Imaleya's life. She is the person I love the most in this world. I love her more than her father Jim." Said Suno SIMAO approaching Pedro and clasped him into a hug." Don't thank me, Mr. Suno. Imaleya is now my wife and it's my duty to watch over her as well." Pedro replied, smiling because he was proud to have given joy to Imaleya's grandfather.Indeed, Pedro was the hero of the evening and Imaleya was also surprised for that. While the guests congratulated Pedro one by one, JIM and Doctor Alvaro met in another empty room to chat. They both knew what happened to Imaleya and they needed to clarify some things." What did you do, Mr. Jim? " Dr. Alvaro asked, frowning. His heart was beating fast and his voice was shaking. He was very upset." Honestly, I don't know what happened. We both know that it was the poison that you gave me that I used. Indeed, I did put the poison in the water of Pedro and I can't understand how my daughter could drink t
" Why don't you carry out my order? I asked you to lap up my daughter's saliva and do it right away. " Jim insisted, looking at Pedro. His hoarse voice echoed in the living room. It was the sign that he was really furious." I know it was me who was targeted today. Unfortunately it was your daughter who drank the poisoned water. I also know that we have an agreement and that I had to die after the wedding so that your daughter would be widow.” Pedro yelled back.JIM was caught off guard as Pedro discovered his plan. “To make things easier for you, just take your gun and kill me. But I refuse to suffer humiliation like this. Lapping up Imaleya's saliva? That's unacceptable. I'm also a human. "Pedro answered with anger flowed through his blood like lava." Wow! You really have some nerve. You dare disrespect me now? Where do you think you are here? " Jim asked again with an angry look.As soon as he finishes speaking, a charming lady comes into the living room. Jim's bodyguards knew
" What's wrong with you son? Have you gone crazy? " Suno asked abruptly, fixing Jim with an angry look." Dad ! Do you know how Pedro came into our lives? You can't give him a job in the family business like that. I can't accept him." Jim replied violently." Put that gun down right now. And let me remind you that I created the family business. So, while I'm still alive, I can hire whoever I want. Don't forget that. " Coldly replied Suno SIMAO who had a trembling voice.Imaleya's mother, who was silent for a moment, manages to control herself and she walks towards her husband Jim." Dear ! Put down that gun. Don't disrespect your father in front of everyone." She whispered into Jim's ears.Without further ado, Jim SIMAO puts away the revolver.Indeed, Imaleya's mother was the only person who could control Jim's emotions. She could manipulate him and use him however she wanted. She is a clever woman who knows how to hide her intentions. After this scene, they sat down and Imaleya's mo
After laying down on the bed, Imaleya takes her cell phone and she messages a friend on Instagram. Pedro meanwhile, was still standing and watching her with frowning eyebrows. He was so angry that he wanted to react immediately to put an end to this humiliation." How dare she spit in my face? " he whispered.Suddenly, he turns around and walks towards Imaleya's bedroom door. Then he opens that door to go out when Imaleya asks him to come back to sleep. " Where are you going? You don't listen when I talk to you? I told you to sleep in my room to avoid my grandfather's wrath. " She added arrogantly.Her eyes were fixed on Pedro and she was staring at him constantly. After Imaleya's words, Pedro froze for a moment. Then he turns to Imaleya and also stares at her impertinently. His heart was so heavy that he wanted to say something in order to have a clear conscience." You want to appease your grandfather's heart, right? Ok, that's good. But I won't accept that you humiliate me for him
On the ground, Pedro had an annoying look and Imaleya smiled because it did her a lot of good to have jostled him. Then she looks at the partners of the family business and she asks them to continue the meeting without giving importance to Pedro." He's an idiot that I have to drag everywhere I go. Unfortunately, he's my husband and I have to live with that. " She added arrogantly, shrugging her shoulders.Pedro meanwhile; remained silent and disoriented. He couldn't believe that Imaleya had humiliated him. Suddenly, the door opens abruptly and it was Suno SIMAO who entered the meeting room. His gaze quickly lands on Pedro who was still on the ground and then he looks at Imaleya and the associates. When these associates saw him, they all got up immediately to greet him, except Imaleya, who had her head bowed. She was handling her phone and she was very concentrated that she hadn't noticed the presence of her grandfather Suno SIMAO. After a while, Suno SIMAO asked the associates to sit
Suno SIMAO is sitting in his office and he's been hoping for Pedro's arrival for a while. It's already nine o'clock in the morning and he hasn't seen Pedro come to work yet and that disturbs him.Indeed, Pedro has some documents that Suno SIMAO hopes to consult before starting the day's activities. Tired of waiting any longer, he then takes his bag and opens it to pull out a cell phone. Once the phone is in hand, Suno SIMAO dials Pedro's phone number and calls him. Unfortunately, Pedro is unreachable. He tries again a second and a third time but Pedro is still unreachable. Desperate, he shakes his head and sighs.“ What is he still doing at home? Is he in trouble? Or does he not see that it is already nine o'clock? ” Suno SIMAO asks, placing his phone on the table .After, he picks up the phone again intending to call Jim then someone knocks on his office door suddenly." I hope it's Pedro. Well.. it must surely be him! " He said in a low voice, looking at the door of his office.He w
