VI

Aiki was running a few errands when she saw the group of maids walking to the Young Master's room. Usually when something was needed they'd call for her, so out of curiosity she went over to check it out. When she got to the door she stood there shocked. One of the maids walked out with bloody sheets in her arms, she was taking them to the laundry room. She was worried and asked another maid, who had just brought in fresh and clean sheets, where you were.


She said the Young Master didn't tell them your exact location but said you were in one of the guest bedrooms. She thanked them and went back to her duties, thinking about visiting you later.


You woke up to find yourself in a different bedroom, with no one in sight. You stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, thinking about what had happened last night.


You cursed and hated him and yourself for letting him do that to you again. But he was stronger than you and you would've been lucky if you had gotten yourself out of that punishment. Suddenly you noticed something from the corner of your eye and turned to look at it.


There was a tray on a table near the bed. You got up and out of the bed and limped over to it, examining it's contents. On it was a plate of breakfast with a glass of juice. You didn't pay attention to that because something else stole your attention. Next to it was a bottle of clear liquid, you guessed it was medicine.


On a chair lay a dress, panties and a bra for you to change into and on top of the pile of clothes lay your book. You took the clothes off the chair and placed them on the bed. You then took a pillow from the bed and put it on the chair to ease the aching between your legs and sat on it. You picked up the bottle, but before you opened it, you had the thought to eat first.


Your stomach was running wild and you didn't feel like eating, though you had to. You did and afterwards you opened the small bottle when you were done eating and drank the clear liquid. You noticed that the liquid tasted like tears and wondered why. When done, you took your book and sat on the bed to read.


Five minutes later you felt a tingling sensation in your lower region and on your neck. You traced your neck were it had been hurting and felt the pain slowly disappearing. You were amazed by how well the medicine worked. You stood up and didn't feel any pain at all.


You were completely healed and didn't limp anymore. You walked into the bathroom to take a look in the mirror. Your skin was clear once again, amazing you further. You got in the shower, being able to stand properly now. When done, you walked back into the room with a towel wrapped around yourself. You got dressed and turned to open the door when you heard a knock on it.


It was Dellinger holding little Ren in his arms. You smiled widely, your heart filled with joy and took the baby when he gave him to you. You thanked him and he was about to leave when you stopped him.
"Before you go. Could you tell me where Doflamingo is?"


"Oh, he left this morning. Said something about a meeting of the Shichibukai. But he said he'd be back in two days or so," he replied holding his hand over his mouth. You found the little gesture cute and smiled at the teen.


"Okay. Thank you." He waved goodbye and you waved back, walking back into the room and closing the door.


You gently sat the baby on the bed and wrapped your arms around his little body, giving him a hug. You released him and placed your hand on his cheek, a tear running down your cheek. Your baby reached out a hand and wiped it away. Your heart warmed up at his innocence.


You spent the rest of the day playing with your baby. When you saw him yawn, you nodded to yourself and propped him to lay down on his bed. You walked to the door and opened it. You were planning on finding a different escape route from the one you had used the last time. But to your luck, you found a guard stationed at the corner to your right. You knew Doflamingo wouldn't leave you unattended, or just let you roam around the castle all on your own.


You sighed and closed the door.
The sun was setting outside and you went over to one of the windows. You tried to open the window but that one didn't open either, as well as the rest. You groaned drawing the attention of your baby.


He lifted his arms towards you. You smiled and sat on the bed, picking him up and putting him on your lap. The baby grabbed your finger and put it in his mouth. He began sucking on it while his eyes slowly closed. He was sleepy and you gently placed him on the bed.


When you pulled your finger out of his mouth he woke up and pulled it back in, sucking on it again. You sighed and got into bed with him. You had almost fallen asleep when the door opened. You sat up when Aiki walked in with a tray of food. You didn't see her at lunch because a butler was the one who brought it in.


"(Y/n)-chan? Are you okay?" She asked and put the tray on the table. She walked over to you and sat beside you, sparing a glance at Ren's little body.


"I saw blood in Young Master's room." She was looking at you all over to see if you had any wounds on you.
"The blood? It's nothing really, I'm fine." You didn't want to tell her why there was blood in the room.


"Good. I thought you were hurt," she giggled when she said this. You did along with her but that was forced.
"Nope. I'm in perfectly good health right now," you said smiling at her. You didn't want her to worry and you weren't completely lying. That medicine had done a great job.
"I'm glad you're alright. I've got to get back to work now. Goodnight."
"Goodnight." You got up and went over to the tray and ate dinner.


You got back in bed and went to sleep only to be woken up a few hours later by mumbling outside the room. You were still in bed and decided to listen to the conversation, thinking it might have been the guards or members of the family. You didn't know what part of the castle you were in, but it was likely that some of them would be around.


"You truly are an amazing man, Diamante." You froze in shock when you heard Doflamingo outside. He was supposed to be away for two days but it looks like he was back early.
"Oh, it's nothing, Doffy." You didn't recognize the second voice, but he didn't refer to Doflamingo as the other inferiors did, so he must've one of the Executives if not an Officer.


"No, it's not nothing. That's why I'm trusting you with this assignment. Because you are trustworthy."


"No. I'm pretty sure any of the others would be able to do this."


There was silence for a few seconds. You kept your ears sharp to see if they were moving away or they really had just stopped talking.


"Okay. I'll ask the othe-"
"I'm flattered, Doffy! I'll do it! Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my merry way!"


"Fufufu... I knew you would agree to do it."


You heard the footsteps of someone walking away and when the doorknob turned you closed your eyes, pretending to still be asleep.


You heard it open and close but didn't make any movements. You felt the bed move as someone got in. You thought he was still angry and would wake you up, but he didn't. Slightly opening your eyes, you saw Doffy laying on the other side of the baby, facing the ceiling. Now because it was dark in the room and because of those stupid shades, you couldn't tell whether he was awake or not.


Assuming that he was asleep, you moved closer to the middle and tried to wrap an arm around your baby, but you were beaten to it by Doflamingo, who already had his arm around him. You frowned and pouted. Sighing, you gave your baby a little kiss on the cheek before going back to sleep.
