The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

I looked at the anklet on my leg with a dark expression.

From the look of things, I was going to be stuck with the misfortune of being a slave to another person even when I haven't gotten rid of my first slave status. How ironic.

"Commodity?" I repeated with a stormy expression.

Micheal nodded his head like it was a full-time job. This man has no shame.

"Yes, you are a great commodity." Micheal replied, "Sophia, you are my lucky break. Well, you will be my lucky break. I hope you don't disappoint me like the girls before you. I have high hopes."

My brows furrowed.

Girl?!

Micheal was obviously an old hand in something like this.

He must have trafficked and sold women repeatedly. Sadly, even with his evil work, he had not cleared his debt.

Talk about karma.

My heart went out to all those girls that Michael had preyed on.

Even with my cautiousness, I still fell into a trap. Although I had a pessimistic view of everything, I didn't know Michael would strike this soon. Actually, I didn't know he would strike at all.

"I have people that are searching for me. It will do you no good to keep me captive. You don't want to offend the people behind me." I threatened.

It was just a tentative move.

I don't know if it was going to work or if it would be counterintuitive. At this moment, I

was willing to try everything that is in my arsenal to get out of this place.

A tiny sigh slipped out of my mouth. It was so hard to find someone that is not fighting for benefits in this current world.

Everything was just about the law of the survival of the fittest.

Michael scoffed, "Stop trying to threaten me with lies. If you really have people that are as powerful as you are trying to imply, you would not be wandering around. You would not be so downtrodden that you would go to the extent of staying in a stranger's house because of a hot meal and a roof over your head."

My mouth curved wryly.

He was very right.

There was nothing else I could say to him. It was very clear that Michael was not going to let me leave here.

He wanted his so called lucky break.

Silence occupied the empty space our lack of discussion caused. Michael kept looking around like he was waiting for someone.

I closed my eyes.

Although my body didn't have any trace of fatigue or tiredness after waking up, I wanted to preserve my energy for when it would be needed.

A set of footsteps came closer to our position. Michael hurriedly met up with the person.

Then, the two of them walked to where I sat slowly. A pair of sharp eyes scraped my body for head to toe. I opened my eyes and stared at the new arrival. The new arrival

was a woman.

Her lips were pure black and there were blue shadows under her eyes. She looked middle aged but there was a few strands of silver hair mixed into her black bun.

The woman's face was expressionless and her eyes looked dead.

"Michael, this girl looks like she would be your lucky break." The woman said in a levelled voice.

My eyes rolled in disdain.

What is it with these people and lucky breaks?

They sound desperate.

Michael smiled brightly.

His lips were almost reaching his ears.

"Exactly. That was what I said when I brought her here. She is unique. I can feel it." Michael replied.

The strange lady came closer to me and cupped my face. I wanted to remove my face from her hands in an act of defiance but I stopped myself.

Doing that wouldn't really change my situation for the better. I would just be satisfying myself mentally. Acting out now would just overcomplicate things in the long run.

It was better to just pretend to have lost hope and move on from there.

The woman's thumb moved from left to right repeatedly as she caressed my skin.

Her fingers were awfully cold. The chill from her body made goosebump rise on my skin.

A shiver ran down my spine. I observed the lady again.

Her temperature, looks and everything else resembled the things that would be found in a corpse.

I knew she was not a corpse though. Her breath was faint but it was there.

She might have a superpower that affected her physique like this.

After staring at me with her dead black eyes for a long while, the woman turned to Michael.

"Michael, you really got a bargain. She is a virgin, unlike the ones you have been bringing lately. There is no way she would go for a low price."

It felt like a bombshell went off in my head.

How did she know if something as private as that?

I hated sharing that kind of information.

Firstly, announcing that kind of information on Earth was just looking for trouble. Men with bad intentions would target me. They would be very interested in adding me to their wrestling chef collections. Besides, we were living an apocalypse, it wasn't a wise decision to call attention to myself.

If you're loving the book, nel5s.com is where the adventure continues. Join us for the complete experience-all for free. The next chapter is eagerly waiting for you! Secondly, after coming to this planet, that information would harm me if it spread out.

I don't know what Tekita and Maol would have done with that information.

I thought Killian and I would be wedded soon. I was prepared to lose it. I didn't know

things would turn out like this.noveldrama

A light bulb lit up in Michael eyes, "Really?"

His voice trembled due to his excitement.

The woman nodded, "I am sure the sea folk would like this tribute."

"I hope they will." Michael responded with the silly smile still on his face.

The smile on Michael's face was lovely but it looked like a death sentence in my eyes.

With that smile on his face, nobody would think he was trying to sell a person. They might just think he encountered success in something legal recently.

My mind repeated the words the strange woman said over and over.

Sea folk. I have never heard of that kind of term before. I was a little bit worried.

I just arrived on this planet sometime ago. I wasn't really clear on everything on this

planet.

Who were the sea folk?

What do they need the girls that Michael offered them for?

Did Killian know about the sea folk?

The only thing I was sure of was the fact that the people the strange woman referred

to liked water.

Numerous questions kept moving around in my head.

For them to buy girls and slaves from Michael, I didn't really peg them as people on the good side of the moral scale.

I wasn't scared of death but if I could live, I would fight for that chance with my last breath. I just hoped the so called sea folk didn't plan to sacrifice me to some wacky

idol.
