Chapter Three
"You are in trouble," she said to Billy as they got home and Billy sighed as they entered the house.
"Stay there," she said and Billy stood, waiting, she came out with a heavy-looking leather belt. She pushed him back onto a chair, pulled away his shirt, and lashed him heavily across the back, Billy yelled in pain and she continued flogging him until he couldn't prop himself upright he just collapsed on the floor and waited. She sat across from him and stared at his face.
"Never let another woman try to get to you, do you understand" she said and Billy this time decided enough was enough, he shot her a deadly stare and she smirked back and slapped him hard across the face.
"John," she called and a hefty-looking man walked in,
"Beat this guy to a pulp. He should learn respect" she said and John grabbed Billy' and sent a bone-crushing punch right to his face, Billy cried out but the hefty huge guy kept punching him until he fell unconscious. When Billy came to, he was in a chair tied tightly in heavy ropes and lifted his swollen eye to stare at Morgan who sat across, legs crossed.
"No one's gonna rescue you Billy, you are stuck here and I assure you that I'll make your life hell," she said and Billy lowered his eyes to the ground, tired, his mind racing. He needed to do something quickly or Morgan would torture him until he could take it no more and probably kill him, he felt abused and used and he was a man he was not supposed to feel this way. She pulled out a knife and held it to his throat and his heart pumped.
"I can end your life Billy, I am your god. One wrong move, I'll slit your throat." She said and Billy closed his eyes shut but she didn't cut him instead she cut away his binds and kicked him to the ground.
"Go change your clothes and shower, my mother is coming today and she is worse than me, I assure you," she said and left the room, while Billy wondered if his day would get any worse. He had heard a lot about her mother, she was currently the head of their family business, and she was cruel and crazy and didn't forgive easily.
Billy hurriedly took his shower and dressed in his best clothes. He cleaned the house and washed the dishes as usual. He had once overslept and met Morgan doing the dishes and it had not gone well for him. She had flogged the hell out of his backside and for days he couldn't walk well.
Billy finished doing the dishes when the doorbell pinged and he opened the door and met an older version of Morgan and he bowed.
"Good morning Ma'am" he said and she glared at him up and down.
"Are you Morgan's husband?" She asked, catching him off guard. In some way technically he was her husband because that's what he signed in the contract.
"Yes" he answered, hoping this didn't incur Morgan's wrath.
"How rich are you?" She asked and again he was tongue-tied, the question was so direct that Billy couldn't answer and she shook her head and walked in. Billy followed after closing the door, Moran came downstairs and her eyes lit up when she saw her mother.
"Mom" she said and her mother scowled, "Who is this?" She pointed at Billy and Morgan turned to him as if noticing him for the first time.
"Oh, he is the boy I purchased from the family owing me money" she said and her mother shot Billy a stare.
"He said he is your husband" She said and Billy suddenly had interest in the chandelier above. Morgan chuckled.
"No mom, what he meant is that he is the wife and he does all my bidding. Don't you Billy dear?" she said and Billy nodded. Morgan's mother stared at him. She licked her lips.
"He looks nice. Can I have him for a night?" She asked and Morgan suddenly looked so jealous.
"No Mom, he is mine. There are a lot of guys I have waiting downstairs to take your pick" she said and her mother chuckled.
"Calm down, Morgan." Her mother said and grabbed her things and headed upstairs, Morgan turned to him and slapped him hard.
"Who is your wife?" She asked, he kept quiet not knowing what to say and she scowled and pressed a button on the wall and two of her hefty bouncers came in.
"Take him and teach him a lesson," she said.
"No please" Billy pleaded, he couldn't take another beating but the bouncers ignored him and dragged him outside, stripped him off his clothes leaving him in his underwear and beat him until he couldn't get up, Billy coughed out blood and fury filled him so much, he didn't deserve to be treated like this, he had to find a way to stop all this, he had to make her pay she and everyone who had made his hell.
Billy managed to stand and walked in, he headed to the bathroom but he met Morgan on the way she scowled at him.
"Who asked you to go and shower?" she asked and Billy clenched his fist trying hard to rein in his temper.
"I wanted to clean this dirt off my body" he replied deadly calmly and she stared at him surprised at the time he used.
"Wow, you wanna talk back to me?" She said Billy contemplated taking her bait but he decided to let it go.
"No," he said.
"Good" he heard relief in her voice, "You can have your bath," she said and he nodded and excused himself without another word. His mind drifted to the fact of how relieved she was when he decided not to stand up to her.
Was she scared? Definitely not, she had bouncers who could beat him up. But he couldn't deny the fact that he saw the fear in her eyes when he spoke with deadly seriousness.
