Chapter two
When all the seniors started making their way to their classes, Andrea figured that it was the time for her to go back to her class as well. She started walking when Ryder stopped her.
"Hey where do you think you're going?" Ryder demanded making Andrea stop in her tracks. She turned around looking into Ryder's eyes who was smirking at her.
"Um... to class?" She answered but it sounded more like a question.
"Really now?" Ryder said sarcastically crossing his arms across his chest. "And who told you to go to class?" He asked amusement dancing in his eyes.
"Principal Fiddle..." Andrea responded slowly.
Ryder scoffed and took a step towards her making Andrea take a step back. "But I'm your 'master,' which means you listen to me and do what I say." He explained with determination. "Starting at this point, you will transfer to all my classes, do you understand?" Ryder stated taking bigger steps now as Andrea take multiple steps backward.
"But-"
"Do I hear complains?" Ryder cut her off raising an eyebrow at her. Andrea shook her head. Ryder was getting way too close for her liking but she found herself being cornered by Ryder and the wall. "I have some rules for you."
Ryder leaned his body closer to Andrea making her back away to the wall if that was even possible. "Rule number one; always answer me with words, understood?" Andrea nodded. "What did I just say? It's like you're not listening."
"Yes, I understand." Andrea whispered.
"Rule number two, always call me 'master' inside or outside school, gets?"
"Yes."
"And rule number three, always listen to me and do as I say without any complains or saying, are we clear?"
"Absolutely." Andrea answered. Ryder looked at her expectantly waiting for more. "...master." Andrea finished.
"Good. Now come with me. We're going somewhere." Ryder ordered as he pulled away from the close proximity of their bodies. Andrea let out a sigh of relieve but then, Ryder's words started sinking in her brain.
"What? But what about class? I can't skip any class, I -" Andrea panicked but Ryder cut her off again.
"Am I hearing complains again?" He questioned annoyed by Andrea's whining.
"No 'master.'" She shook her head saying 'master' bitterly. Ryder smirked once more and pulled her by the arm.

"Where exactly are we going master?" Andrea asked anxiously biting her bottom lip. She tucked her seatbelt and breathes heavily.
"That's for me to know and for you to find out." Ryder smirked igniting his car with the keys.
"Aren't you going to wear your seatbelt?" She asked.
"Why should I? I've been doing it for two years now and nothing happens to me." He shrugged like it wasn't a big deal.
'Is this the end of me? Is he going to rape me then throw me in the middle of the woods and let me rotten for years?' Andrea thought to herself panicking. She wasn't ready to die now. She had more plans like go to university, be an accountant and maybe have a family. But that was all shred into pieces if Mr. Bad boy here was going to kill him.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you." Ryder chuckled noticing her anxiousness. Andrea let out a sigh of relieve but she still wasn't convince that he won't do anything to her.
"So where are we going?" She repeated fidgeting her fingers on her lap.
"You'll see." Ryder said looking at her. He sense frightened when he looked at her and he didn't know what to do. "Look, just relax and calm down. I promise I won't hurt you. And I am a man of my words." He assured her as she nodded.
There was a comfortable silence between the two and Ryder didn't bother glancing at her. He continued driving for about ten more minutes then he pulled over to the underground garage.
"Hey Andrea, we're here." Ryder informed her but she didn't answer. "Hey Andrea, we're -" As soon as he glanced at her, he found her fast asleep.
Her head was resting at the window as she clutched her hands on the seatbelt that wrapped her tiny body. Ryder couldn't help but stare at her. There was something about her that kept him interested.
Some of Andrea's hair fell on her face and Ryder itched to touch it and move it out of her beautiful face. He couldn't help it anymore so he took the strands of her hair and tucked it behind her ear.
Andrea stirred at her seat and her eyes fluttered open. Ryder quickly withdrew his hand and look at the front pretending nothing happened. 'What's wrong with me,' he thought. 'It's just a girl. A nerd in fact and she's nothing but my slave!' He persuaded himself smacking his head mentally.
"Where are we?" Andrea asked with her sleepy voice straightening on her seat and rubbing her right eye.
"Get out! C'mon!" Ryder ordered getting out of the car.
Andrea was a little shock by his sudden outburst. 'Did I do anything wrong?' She wondered getting out of the car.
She followed Ryder who was walking towards the elevator. He clicked the up button and the elevator came within three seconds. Ryder got in as Andrea followed her with a puzzled look on her face. The elevator door closed as Ryder clicked the 18th floor button which was the highest floor.
"Why are we here?" Andrea suddenly asked wondering why they were there. She hadn't thought of any reasons yet on why they were there.
"I live here." Ryder answered right away not bothering to look at her.
"Oh." That was all Andrea can say before she started hyperventilating. She panicked why Ryder was taking her to his house. 'Is he kidnapping me? Is he going to murder me in his house? Or even rape me?'
Before she could do or say anything, the elevator beeped indicating that they were now on the 18th floor. Ryder got out and Andrea followed no matter how much her brain was telling her to not go.
The elevator led to the living room right away and Andrea was kind of confuse. The apartment was huge and the furniture all looked expensive. The ceiling was high and there was a staircase nearby. She looked around astonish of the place.
"This is the penthouse. I live here." Ryder said and Andrea soon realized now why it led to his apartment right away.
"What are we doing here master?" Andrea asked once again looking all around.
"I have to do some business." He bluntly said.
"What business?"
"You know you ask a lot of question. It annoys me." He stated as he made his way to the kitchen and came back with two sodas in his hand. He handed one to Andrea and she accepted it.
"Who is this?" Andrea asked as her eyes landed on a picture of a beautiful girl by the fireplace. She had long curly blonde hair, beautiful blue eyes, and a slim body. She looked just like Andrea's age but she looked more attractive than her. She was wearing a long red gown in the picture that hugged her perfect body.
"She's beautiful." Andrea commented lifting the frame up and examining the girl on the photo. 'It's probably Ryder's girlfriend or something. She was the kind of girls that Ryder would totally date. Beautiful, slim, and tall.' She thought and there was a little pang on her chest which she found weird to feel.
"That's my sister." Ryder hesitantly answered as Andrea gave him a puzzled look.
"Really? I don't see the resemblance." Andrea said tilting her head to the side putting the picture frame beside Ryder's face.
"That's because we're fraternal twins." He answered taking the picture frame from her and putting it back. "She got all her looks from my mom and unfortunately, I got mine from my dad's." He said the word 'dad' bitterly.
"Oh. How come I never see her around? Does she go to our school?"
"No, she's in a boarding school in Australia." Ryder replied bluntly as Andrea nodded in understanding.
"Oh, what about her?" Andrea asked holding up a different picture of a little girl who might be eight years old. She had the same blonde hair as the other girl and the same grey eyes like Ryder. She had a huge grin on her face. "Is she your sister too? Where is she?"
"Yeah. She died five years ago." Ryder sighed looking sadly. Andrea quickly regretted asking and put on an apologetic face.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked. I didn't know -"
"It's fine."
"I hope you don't mind me asking." Andrea said hesitantly. "But how did she die. She looks so healthy and young." She said glancing at the picture.
"She had a weak heart. And every day she had heart failures." Ryder answered blocking all his emotions. He didn't show any emotions at all and stared at Andrea. "Why are you crying?" He asked cutting Andrea out of her trance.
"It must be really hard for you to be away from your sisters." Andrea cried and it tore Ryder's heart to see her crying but he hid all his emotions. He suddenly thought that maybe Andrea just pitied him and he didn't want that at all.
"I don't need your pity, Andrea." Ryder scoffed turning his back from her and plopping himself down at the couch as Andrea wiped her tear with the back of her hand.
"I didn't pity you." Andrea defended.
"Yeah right?" He said sarcastically.
"You know what Ryder? Some people in this world are having a worse day than you. Why are you acting like that all of a sudden?"
"What do you know?" Ryder snapped. "You don't know anything about me, Andrea. You don't even know me. All you know is I'm that bad boy whose name is Ryder. So don't act like you know me at all."
"Whatever." Andrea muttered rolling her eyes.
"You know what? I should punish you." Ryder smirked mischievously suddenly turning evil.
"What?! Why? What did I do?!" Andrea suddenly felt nervous and started hyperventilating... again.
"You called me Ryder. I have only three rules, Andrea. Three rules that you can't seem to get in that pretty little head of yours."
"You think my head's pretty?" Andrea bit her lip trying to hold her laugh in.
"Shut up!" Ryder muttered with gritted teeth.
She finally let out her laugh holding her stomach in. "So what's my punishment?" Andrea asked stopping herself from laughing.
"I'll think of something..." Ryder smiled playfully.
'I'm gonna have to get use to this!' Andrea thought groaning mentally.
