His eyes traveled all over my body, from head to toe. It made me self-conscious for some reason.
"The dress fits you well," then he paused and murmured, looking at the floor. "I
was wondering if you'd like it or not." "Huh?"
His head turned to me again as if he was freed from a trance.
"So now will you tell me what I have to do for you, sir?" I said sarcastically. "What?" He looked at me with surprise.
"What? You have to have some purpose for keeping me here by force," I said, pressing on the last two words.
He paused for a few seconds and then the lamest thing I could have ever imagined came out of his mouth.
"Yes, you are here to serve me," he stated blankly.
"What? Did I hear you right? You knocked me out, kidnapped my sister, and
blackmailed me into coming here just to be your servant?" I cried out in disbelief.
A smirk began to settle on his face as he took in my reaction. He was enjoying this absurdity even more!
"Yes, dear. You are here to serve me. From now on, you will be with me 24 hours. All matters regarding me are your responsibility from now on."
This is insane! Is he really a pervert? What is he trying to pull?

Maria lives in House Crimson as one of the highest-ranking vampires of her house. The second, to be precise. It's not because she's fought in countless wars, or lived so many hundreds of years, or can make people bend to her will with a threatening glare. She hasn't/doesdon't do any of those things. She's only 17.
Her rank might have something to do with her bad@ss nature and undeniable knack for leadership, but who's to say for sure?
Nevertheless, she's only second to the master and mistress themselves, who also happens to be her aunt and uncle.
Yeah... not great leaders, those two. They're cowards who abandon their house after the first signs of an invasion. Disgraceful.
Now, Maria is left to try and fix things on her own with the werewolf invaders. But of course, there will be. . . complications along the way.

Fate, however, had a surprise in store for her—a striking resemblance between her son and a certain cold, handsome man. In a moment of undeniable recognition, he glared at her, his eyes narrowing dangerously, and demanded, "Woman, dare you run away with my child?"Caught off guard, she innocently shook her head, attempting to gather her thoughts. Before she could respond, her fearless little boy stepped forward and boldly proclaimed, "Who dares to bully my mommy? You'll have to get past me first!" 
I'm taking a breather on a cruise ship in international waters when I stumble upon a scene that stops me cold. I see my younger sister surrounded at a poker table.Across from her stand her two so-called childhood friends, flanking a fragile-looking woman with a smug smile. Their voices drip with mockery when they speak."What's wrong, Ms. Jefferson? Can't keep up now? You were so bold just a minute ago, asking Reena for 500 thousand dollars over a headscarf.""You can fold," the other adds. "But the Jefferson family's 15% stake? That gets transferred to Reena first thing tomorrow."My sister's knuckles turn white, and her eyes brim with tears.Someone nearby laughs and loosens his tie. "Out of money, young lady? How about this—remove one piece of clothing, and I'll give you 500 chips."Whistles and jeers erupt around the table."Strip it all off, and my entire stack is yours."I remain still in the shadows of the upper deck, slowly twisting the signet ring on my finger.It's been a few years since I've shown my face—looks like this pack of filth has forgotten something.Touch anyone from the Stanford family, and you pay with your life.
