The next day, Illumi arose as early as usual.
He made his way to meet with Silva to inform him on how he had worked toward the mission the previous evening.

"I know." Silva replied before presenting him with a schedule.

Illumi glanced at the paper. It was a list stating the times of day to be intimate with Y/N. There was enough separation for him to replenish between sessions, but the itinerary still required the sessions to happen several times a day. Illumi silently committed the information to memory.

Meanwhile, sometime during Illumi's absence, Y/N awakened from the little sleep she had gotten, which was only about an hour or so.

Elsewhere, Zeno realized that neither he nor Silva had ever discussed the purpose of Y/N's stay with her, so he decided to pay her a visit so she could understand her duty here.

Not too long after she awakened, there was a knock on the bedroom door. She instantly tensed up, not daring to make a sound, fearing that it was Illumi returning to use her some more. Zeno decided to let himself in, and walked toward Y/N. She relaxed, but only a bit. She was relieved it wasn't Illumi, but it was still a Zoldyck.

"It occurred to me that we never explained to you the reason you're here. The family has decided it's time to extend our family and tasked this with the eldest child, Illumi. His mission is to create a child, your mission is to carry that child. If and when you prove to be capable of bearing his children, the two of you shall be wed. Illumi always completes his missions; this should be no different. Now, you are his responsibility. It is expected that you will soon become a part of this family, so as long as there's no interference or disobedience from you, in turn we will treat you well." Zeno explained.

He glanced at the clock on a nearby table before continuing.

"Now, what would you like for breakfast? We have many talented cooks on the premises at all times, so whatever you would like can be arranged. I'll send for this meal today, but going forward, if there's anything you want or need, request it to Illumi and he'll find a butler to adhere to it. As long as the request does not intervene with his mission in any way. Two rules: you aren't to leave this room. For you must always be here, willing and ready for whenever Illumi is to do what he must. Secondly, you are free to use the adjoining bathroom for whatever you wish, but you must always leave that door open. Privacy is hardly needed and it would be easier to keep an eye on you that way, for your own benefit. There is a small mobile phone included with your things, and it has only one contact saved. It is the number to Illumi's personal mobile, and it's the only number you will ever need. Illumi's younger brother, Milluki programmed it himself so that it cannot make any calls outside of that single number. If attempted, it will send an alert directly to Illumi."

Y/N sat quietly, tears streaming down her face as she took in all the new information. Zeno seemed oblivious to her broken state.

"Well, I'll be off to have your meal prepared, what is it you would like to have?" he asked while making his way toward the door.

Y/N had very little appetite after hearing what her situation would be like.

"Just... Some toast." she finally answered.

"As you wish." he replied, turning to face the door.

He stopped before leaving and looked back at Y/N before speaking.

"You know, Silva believes you should feel honored. Maybe you will one day."

With that, he left the room, leaving Y/N to stare blankly at the door that he had shut behind him. Not too long after, there was a polite knock at the upon it. Y/N had no reaction, feeling way too numb to care, even if it were her assigned rapist, Illumi. To her very slight, almost non-existent relief, it was a butler with her breakfast. He silently made his way to a nearby table and placed the platter down gently. He gave her a polite nod and made his way back out of the room, leaving her in solitude.  She spent a while deep in thought, unconsciously nibbling at the toast. She decided to shower and try to wash away all essence of Illumi from the night prior. She brought some of the prepared clothes in with her and remembered to keep the door open.

Illumi glanced at his wristwatch while wrapping up a target practice. He inwardly sighed, seeing it was six minutes to the time of his first scheduled intimacy session. He made his way back inside the mansion, officially deciding that out of all the missions he had been assigned, he disliked this one the most.

Suddenly the bedroom door swung open. This time it actually was Illumi. As he quickly shut the door behind him, Y/N realized that would be the difference. Illumi would just enter, there was no need to knock when it was his own bedroom. Illumi walked over to her and motioned for her to stand up from the bed. Hesitantly, she obeyed. He glanced at his watch again to ensure that he was on schedule, then stared down at Y/N, his face as expressionless as ever.

"Undress. From the waist down." he commanded in monotone.

Y/N realized that was the first thing he had said to her. She looked away from his eyes and slowly did what was asked. Illumi waited, stare unrelenting. As soon as she stepped out of the clothes she pulled down, Illumi immediately pushed her back onto the bed. She quickly grabbed the blanket to hide the lower half of herself, for even Illumi's gaze was unsettling. Illumi quickly undressed and began to prepare himself, as he had done the night before. Y/N tightly shut her eyes and turned her head away, mentally trying to prepare for what was going to happen again. She flinched as she suddenly felt Illumi remove the cover and force her legs apart. Thus he began, just as forceful as the previous occurrence. Y/N kept her eyes closed, trying to ignore the pain and imagining herself being anywhere but there. After what seemed like an agonizingly long while, Illumi finished, and removed himself from her. Eyes still closed, Y/N felt Illumi press her legs together, just like before, then vacated the bed. Finally daring to open her eyes, she saw Illumi getting redressed, then he walked out the door without a single word or even a glance back at her.

Two more sessions occurred, like clockwork. The only words Illumi would grant her with were the commands to undress. She considered not even redressing as there seemed to be no point, but ultimately decided that she should be dressed in case anyone other than Illumi came in, such as a butler. Those two times, Illumi was intimate with her, but could it even be called intimacy? It was methodical, cold, all business. Illumi made his departure without even acknowledging her, as usual. She grabbed her pants from the floor, and realized how hungry she was. All she had consumed was a bit of toast. She had nothing to drink and felt the need to replenish and rehydrate after all the tears she shed. The thought of asking Illumi for anything made her blood boil, and quickly decided that she was not nearly desperate enough to ask him for a thing.

While taking a nap to distract from her growling stomach, she heard the bedroom door open. Filled with alarm, she glanced at the nearby clock.

'Again? Already?!' she thought in disbelief.

She stood up from the bed as Illumi approached it. She decided she would just automatically undress herself so he wouldn't even have to speak at all. She didn't even want to hear his voice. She looked down at the floor and began to pull down her pants but was cut off by Illumi's voice.

"I'm just here to retrieve something." he stared at her blankly for a moment before rummaging through a drawer.

After acquiring what he needed, he went to make his leave. Feeling her glare at his back, Illumi turned to face her boldly. He stared emotionlessly back at her glare, unfazed. Y/N finally looked away, his stare unsettlingly intense.

"Don't touch any of my things." And with that, he left.

Y/N punched a pillow angrily, frustrated by how weak and vulnerable she was in this situation. If it was just about anyone else, she probably could hold her own enough to get out of it. The angrier she felt, the weaker she was getting. She lay there for a while, feeling helpless. It had been about 24 hours since she last had any water, and many hours since she ate that little bit of toast. She continued to lie in bed as her head started to spin and ache. Finally swallowing her pride, she went to find that damn mobile phone to call that bastard. Before she could call, the door opened. She glanced at the clock.

'Must really be it this time. Let's get this shit over with.' she thought to herself as she quickly stood, undressed herself, and laid herself back down on the bed so Illumi didn't have to push her there.

A little surprised at her sudden obedience, he stared at her. Y/N held his gaze with her own, no way would she look away this time. This time, Illumi looked away to focus on his own undressing, and it was obvious what had followed. This time, Illumi didn't immediately leave. He lay on his back atop the bed, still nude and not even covering himself with a blanket. He gazed at the ceiling for a moment before suddenly breaking the silence.

"You haven't requested anything from me today. Meaning the small meal that occupied the plate on the table was all you've consumed. You need to eat." he said simply, never breaking his gaze from the ceiling.

Y/N remained silent, though she was feeling like she might pass out, she didn't want anything from him.

"What would you like?" Illumi continued softly, yet still not facing her.

Y/N sighed, she was feeling so weak, she might pass out any minute and she refused to let that happen. She didn't want things to get even more rape-y than they were now. Illumi apparently always completed his missions and seemed to be on a strict schedule, so she was sure her being unconscious wouldn't change a thing. She shuddered at that thought before deciding to respond.

"...Anything. Whatever's fine. Just please include a glass of water." she replied.

'Did I just say please? I'm practically begging! Why??? Fuck him!'

While she was arguing with herself internally, Illumi slipped out from the bed and quietly dressed himself in a thin white T-shirt and pajama pants. Without another word, he left the room.

He made his way to the kitchen and the young butler, Laeva instantly perked up upon seeing him. He usually didn't go into the kitchen himself. One of her duties was to sometimes oversee the final meals, double checking that the meal was exactly as requested. She had a good eye and could tell when something was even slightly over or undercooked or not how the Masters preferred. Her personal expertise was in plants, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Suddenly flustered by the unexpected appearance of Master Illumi, she stumbled upon her words a bit while greeting him.

"M-Master Illumi! Um, W-what brings you down-" she started but was quickly interrupted by Illumi.

"I need a meal prepared, no preference. Along with a tall glass of water, minimal ice. Bring it up to my room as soon as possible." And with that he departed.

Laeva let out a breath, only having then realized that she had been holding it in as he spoke. She felt her cheeks heat up as they always did anytime she got to interact with Illumi. She waited anxiously for the cooks to finish making the meal. She inspected it four times, making absolutely sure that it was suitable for Master Illumi. Excitement accumulated inside her the closer she got to Illumi's bedroom. She of course knew where it was, but was never required to actually go to it.

Meanwhile, Illumi was sitting on his bed. He had removed his shirt, and kept the pajama pants, as that was his usual attire for sleep. Y/N was busy avoiding any eye contact and trying to just keep her mind completely blank. Any thought was capable of worsening her mood. Either reminding her of her current situation, or reminding her of her old life and how she was so far away from it, missing her parents and Vojden. It was best to not think of anything. Snapping her out of her non-thoughts, there was a timid knock at the door.

Illumi spoke, "Come in."

Laeva's heart fluttered at the sound of his voice and she slowly creaked the door open. The sight before her caused both shock and a deep blush, for the first thing she saw was a shirtless Illumi on his bed. After quickly regaining her composure to ensure she remained professional, she completely entered the room with the plates, then froze. It was only for a moment, but she was completely taken aback. Also occupying the bed with Illumi was a young woman, that was neither a butler or a Zoldyck. She had heard that there was a guest but she had no idea they'd be female nor be this close to Master Illumi.

She occupied herself by arranging the platter on the nearby table and gathering the previous plate, all while jealous rage was building within her. She decided to try to sneak another glance at the shirtless Illumi to improve her current mood, but caught him intensely staring at her. She quickly looked away, but still felt his gaze on her. She would normally be delighted by such attention from him, but it was actually making her feel uncomfortable. She got the feeling he was waiting for her to leave. She wanted to savor the moment of being in Illumi's bedroom but quickly finished up to make her leave. Stealing one last glance at the other female in the room and committing her look to memory, she quietly exited from the room.

The glorious food had arrived but Y/N made no move toward it.

"Eat." Illumi firmly urged.

Y/N knew she was hungry and the food was already there. There was no use in pretending that she didn't want it. She grabbed the platter and returned with it to the bed. Illumi eyed her, making sure she was eating. There was quite a bit of food that was brought and she decided to take her sweet time eating the meal. Illumi wanted her to eat so bad, so maybe she could prolong the next rape session, at least for a bit. However, she couldn't help but finish the ice water within two gulps. Y/N was mindlessly taking small bites and Illumi checked his watch multiple times before returning his gaze back to her. Before she completely finished, Illumi abruptly stood up and gathered her plates and moved them to the table. He glanced at his watch once more, ten past, while Y/N nervously looked at him while swallowing her bite of food.

"I'm behind schedule." Illumi informed her as he motioned for her to stand up.

She defeatedly obeyed and undressed from the waist down. Illumi did the same, as that too was all he was wearing. She laid herself down, and he soon began. She was getting better at coping with the feeling, but it was still very far from pleasant. After finishing, Illumi disconnected, closed her legs together as usual, and proceeded to put on his pajama pants. He then lay back on the bed, facing the ceiling once more.

"I'm finished for the day. You can sleep." Illumi said suddenly.

Y/N relaxed a bit, then got up to find a gown to sleep in it. Upon retrieving one, she headed into the bathroom to change, though remembered to leave the door open. Upon removing her top, she felt eyes on her. She quickly finished changing and headed back to see Illumi sitting up and staring at her. He watched her until she got back into the bed, then returned to his lying down position. Y/N had never felt so vulnerable in her life. She spent another long night crying, but sleep finally took her after some hours. Illumi had even more blissful sleep than the previous night.
