Uncovered 16 "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Weaker- 3"

"If you agree to stay... Firstly, you will always call me Mr. Alaric, it's nothing personal with you of course, but I prefer people to call me like that. Secondly, you will not be allowed to leave this house or do anything without my permission first. Thirdly, when you do get allowed to go out, you will always be accompanied by one of my servants and last but not least, whenever I have guests over you will be up, locked in your room since I don't want anyone to know about you." He said, finishing with the rules and rested his back on his chair waiting for my reaction.

"You haven't told me, though. What do you want me to do for you? I asked and he smirked.

"I was waiting for you to ask that, Miss Starr."

"Well." I urged him to speak.

"As you know, I'm an artist. I paint and what an artist needs is a model for his painting and that's exactly what I want you to be, my model." He said and I looked at him surprised. I wasn't expecting that.

"Your model? Me?" I asked.

"Yes, you, Miss Starr." He said, pointing at me.

"But why me?" I asked again and he rolled his eyes clearly annoyed b my constant questions.

"You are asking too many questions." He replied, running a hand through his long curly hair.

I closed my mouth and looked down at my lap. So he just wanted me to be his model? A model for his painting. I guess that's not that bad, not like I expected it to be. He didn't seem to have any bad intentions towards me and the way he treated me when I came here wasn't bad either, but still, I wasn't sure if I could trust him. He seems to be a very dark man, with secrets.

"And also you get to put one rule too. Just so we can make things fairer for you." He said, snapping me out of my thoughts.

A rule.

"Okay then, I will agree to help you, Mr. Alaric, if only you promise me that after those four months are over, you will not be sent me back to the Dollhouse," I told him and he narrowed his eyes, coming closer.

"I don't do promise, Miss Starr." He said sternly.

"You will do this one if you want me to stay," I said, trying not to stutter and ruin everything, along with my confidence.

"What do you mean not to send you back to the Dollhouse?" He asked after a while of thinking. He was actually considering it.

"I don't want to go back to that place, so instead of taking me there, you will let me free." I tried to explain.

"It's a lot of risks." He said.

"That's the only way for me to agree to this."

"To help you escape the Dollhouse and Correy? He asked, standing up from his chair and I did the same. I don't know how, but right now I wasn't thinking of how to intimidating the man in front of me was. The only thing I wanted was to secure my future.

"That's exactly what I'm saying. So do we have a deal, Mr. Alaric?"

Please, say yes.
