Chapter 4

Two hours later the door opened again and a few maids walked in.

The old lamp inside the cage brightened up and Cristiana raised her hand to stop the light from entering her eyes.

She thought that the devilish man was again here to talk to her but this time to her surprise the door of the cage opened.

"Come with me," a middle-aged woman stood in front of Cristiana with a very professional smile on her lips.

"Where?" Cristiana panicked.

"No questions. Just follow what is said," the woman walked over and helped Cristiana stand up.

She was pulled outside the cage and brought outside the room.

For the first time since she arrived Cristiana saw an out corridor view.

She was standing in front of a long corridor with many similar-looking doors on both sides.

The place was lit up with many dazzling lights that were almost blinding.

The contrast between the inside of the room she was in and the outside was almost similar to heaven and hell.

The maid pulled her hand lightly towards the lift at the end of the corridor.

In the lift, Cristiana saw that there were five buttons on the lift. The maid pressed the button for the fourth floor.

With a ding, the lift opened to another floor which looked a bit different than the previous one.

This was totally luxurious.

Crystal chandeliers were hanging on the ceiling at a similar distance.

The walls were painted a Golden shade of yellow and in the whole corridor, there were only three rooms.

The maid brought her towards the first one and swiped the silver card to open the door of the luxurious suit.

This wasn't a house but a hotel.

Cristiana concluded inside her head.

"This way," the maid led her straight to the bathroom and as soon as they were in the maid started to peel off her clothes.

"What are you doing? I can do it myself," Cristiana took a few steps away.

"Bath yourself properly and come out in twenty minutes," the maid didn't struggle and left the room after giving the instructions.

Cristiana gulped as she looked at the luxurious bathroom and top products decorated on the side.

The bathtub was already filled with warm scented water and the scent was soothing. She tried to look around but there was no opening from where she could run away.

Time was slipping by and Cristiana decided to just go with the flow.

She opened the zip of her already torn dress and let it slip.

Then she let out the undergarments and her body shivered from the coldness inside the bathroom.

She slowly walked towards the bathtub and with her long dainty legs, she entered the tub.

The warm water made her let out a sigh unintentionally.

Hot water and a relaxing time to process everything. This was all she needed.

Cristiana submerged herself in water to her neck and closed her eyes.

The soothing water and scented candle around made her whole body relax.

She wanted to think about a way to escape from here but instead, she fell asleep.

Time passed and she didn't know how long she slept there until a sharp knock broke the peace inside the bathroom.

Cristiana abruptly opened her eyes and turned her head to see the previous woman walk in.

"Twenty minutes are up," she said in her monotonous voice.

"Ohh," Cristiana nodded and tried to get up but staying in the same position in the bathtub made her legs go numb and as soon as she tried to stand up her body fell into the tub again.

She twisted her leg and her head hit the edge of the tub making her forehead bruised instantly.

The woman standing behind her shook her head and walked over to help.

Cristiana was crying in pain.

But the other woman didn't pay any heed.

He pushed Cristiana into the water and washed her body.

After the bath, she dried her and gave her a robe to wear.

Outside she first did the dressing of the wound on Cristiana's face and then started to apply the makeup.

Her hair was blow-dried and was treated with the best products available in the market.

Each and everything applied to her was hella expensive.

As a successful and highest-paid actress, she could recognise them all.

Once her makeup and hair were done the woman brought a beautiful dress and undergarments for Cristiana to wear.

And without any other words, she started to strip her of the clothes.

Cristiana wanted to resist but she gave up seeing the determination on her face.

Soon an elegant yet simple dress she pulled out.

Cristiana's eyes couldn't leave her body when she saw herself donning that beautiful look.

"Come with me," Cristiana was busy gawking at herself when she heard what the maid said and she turned around to see her already leaving the room.

Cristiana, with her limping leg, followed behind.

She twisted her leg during the fall so she could not walk faster.

Thankfully they used a lift so she didn't have to walk much.

This time the lift led them to the top floor.

The lift opened and Cristiana was shocked when she found herself directly in the living room of a penthouse.

"This …," Cristiana was shocked.

"Go in and wait in the bedroom," before she could understand anything the maid said and give her a light push.

Cristiana walked out of the lift and as soon as she did the lift doors closed.

"Hey wait….wait for what…?" Cristiana wanted to ask so many questions but she wasn't given a chance.

With a sigh, she turned around looking at the luxurious penthouse which was screaming money from every nook and cranny.

One thing was clear that the devil she had made a deal with was really loaded.

With limpy leg, she walked over and sat down on the sofa. It was hard to move much due to the pain.

Everything was silent and Cristiana was on full alert.

But as time passed she gradually relaxed.

Maybe her body needed rest and the sofa she was sitting on was comfy.

After spending so many hours on cold hard ground in the cage the cushiony sofa was like heaven.

And before long Cristiana was sleeping soundly on the sofa.

After some unknown amount of time suddenly Cristiana felt a death stare in her subconscious directed towards her.

Her eyes flew open and she almost jumped out of the sofa when she saw who was standing in front of her.

The first thing she saw after opening her eyes was a tall figure hovering above her.

His olive green eyes staring at her made her whole body shiver to the point that she got goosebumps all over her body.

"Wh-what are you doing?" Cristiana shrank on the sofa as she finally managed to squeeze those words out of her mouth.
