The Quinnes (1)

Alexander entered the mansion with Artemis and he headed up the stairs to his room, she panicked and pulled her hand but his grip was inhumanly strong, one more grip and her wrist would crack for sure.

Alexander pulled her in and closed the door, Artemis finally pulled her away and held it in front of her chest with her other hand, she then took in the whole room, it was pretty big and had a nice view of a weird looking sea. It had a big king sized bed with a wide red and black soft looking quilt, it also had another room in the east of the room. The bed was in the middle of the room and it was not far from the beautiful French windows that leads to a spacious balcony. Alexander noticed that she was looking everywhere but him.

"Hey pet, From now on, you'll be staying here in this room and you are not allowed to leave this room unless I ask you to or unless you are going out with me. You are also not allowed to talk or speak with or to anyone unless I ask you to, is that understood", he removed his shirt and put on a black night robe and he left his chest opened, Artemis could see a long chain on his neck, it had a blue moon shaped pendant and it stopped on his chest, her face was flushed at the scene and she averted her eyes, she then nodded.

"I have to leave for some some minutes, the bathroom is over there, wash up and change into something less...", he looked at her from head to toe with an indifferent expression, "...irritating", he then left, Artemis looked and sniffed at her self and she realized the didn't have a bath, she scrunched her nose and headed into the bathroom.

'Even the bathroom is grand', she thought and spotted a pile of white towels in the glass drawer,

'Why does he need so many towels', and then she remembered what the lady she saw outside had said and she frowned.

Artemis took one towel and took off the itchy sack cloth, she walked to the big elegant tub fit for a king, filled it with water, added some soap and immersed herself in it, her tensed body immediately calmed down, she felt good and soaked herself in the water, she took the fancy scrubber and scrubbed her hair and body, the soap smelt really good like roses, vanilla and strawberry. After some minutes of scrubbing, she unclogged the tub and let the water flow out because it was dirty , she filled the tub with cleaner water and she soaked herself once again.

After Artemis dried herself, she was still standing in middle of the bathroom with a skimpy towel that reached her thighs around her and he realized that there is no girl clothing here, then she spotted a red shirt in a compartment below the glass drawer, she hesitated at first and she eventually put it on and fortunately they managed to cover half of her thigh so it's all good, she didn't see a dryer so she used the towel to dry her hair.

Artemis entered back into the room and looked around for a while then she was tired and sat on the ground at the foot of the bed, she leaned her head back and soon she was lost in thought.

Alexander headed down the stairs and walked into the grand living room and he saw his 'Family', his beautiful mother, the annoying brat of a little sister Cleopatra, his older sister Priscilla and his step father, Alexander frowned, sat down and called his sister,

"Cleopatra", he crossed his legs,

"Yes, brother", she smiled sweetly,

"Why did you let Diana into my room and who the fuck asked you to?", he asked coldly, his face was extremely cold and indifferent and Cleopatra shivered,

"But brother, it isn't the first time she'll be in your room and also she said...she said she missed you and wanted to see you, so...I...I let her...in", she almost became one with the chair when she leaned back and she held her hands together.

Alexander's dark red eyes darkened and he placed his elbow on the arm of the chair and he placed his head on his palm and he stared straight at her, Cleopatra was covered with fear, it was like he was staring right into her very soul, she trembled and squirmed.

" Alexander stop, you are scaring the poor girl", Priscilla glanced at him and looked back at the parchment, Alexander sighed frustratingly,

"Cleopatra, from now on, I don't want to see your rotten friends anywhere around me or my room or I'll break their and your legs off, if you don't believe me, just try me and see", he smirked showing his white fangs, she squealed. Alexander stood up and he turned to leave.

"Alexander...", he heard a familiar voice, even though he was is stepfather, the fact he was bearing his family's surname makes him sick, he frowned immediately but didn't look back, he stood still and put his hands in the robe's side pockets and said,

"Can I help you?",

"I heard you bought a slave for Five thousand gold coins", said his stepfather as he raised a brow; Mrs Quinne, Priscilla and Cleopatra looked at him at the same time. Alexander closed his eyes and smiled,

"And so? How is that any of your business?, well, just so you know, I did bought at that price, she's my pet and not a slave, so nobody is fucking allowed to touch her even if I'm not around and she stays in my room. Do you understand", he walked away and his mother sighed helplessly and rubbed her brows,

"Don't worry, he'll come around", she touched her husband's shoulder as he also sighed helplessly.

Cleopatra's face had turned dark from what Alexander said and Priscilla noticed this in a slight glance, she frowned.
