His Beta of Submission

nine

I stood before my door, seeing a guard that slammed me to the ground holding some flowers. It was a large bouquet of flowers in his hands and I look in confusion.

"Uh...are these for-?"

The guard shoves the flowers at my chest, and I grab them before they fall. He sighed in irritation as if he hated his life.

I see him walk away from me now, confusing me because now I had a bouquet of flowers.

"Mommy you have flowers?!" Remi exclaims, rushing under my legs and looking up. He stared at them intently and looked completely amazed. "They're so pweety!"

I don't say anything as I watch the guard walking away. Was it from him?...I doubt it just because of how ordered that looked.

"Mommy look!" Remi was screeching now and I look to my right now. Now I saw another one of the guards that slammed me on the ground. He was holding a little container and it occurred to me that there were tarantulas.

The guard lowered himself to Remi as he extended the container to him. Remi's eyes brightened up when he saw the slightly small-sized tarantulas inside.

"Are these Muffin's babies?" Remi asks me excitedly, and I smile.

"Yes it is, my little bean." I nod ecstatically, and I was wondering who was doing this... Did Xavion get the tarantulas or am I missing something?

"They're so pretty! Oh...they're blue mommy!" Remi exclaimed loudly, and I look closely. He wasn't wrong either.

The two of them were a a striking blue that was unusual to see. They looked nothing like Muffin! Except Remi didn't seem to care as he stared lovingly.

"I name this one!" He pointed at the tarantula who was the brightest and who also seemed to be a female. "Sapphire, and her brother will be named Blueberry! Yes!"

He rushed into the room and I still stood here in confusion. Now I saw another guard - the last of the guards that slammed me down. I began to realize...that they were Ezra's guards.

This one held keys in his hand, and gestured for me to follow him. I look down at Remi and saw he was still infatuated with the new spiders.

"Remi I'll be right back." I tell him, and he nods; but it was subconsciously as he was so into the spiders.

I follow the guard, a little uncomfortable when we went to some stairs that went under the castle. As I followed him he opened a certain door that led to some sort of garage.

It was full of an assortment of silver and black cars, no other color. They were luxury SUV's and sport cars, but there was one that was a bright red. I assumed it was Ezra's until I was brought right to it.

I see the guard hand me the keys, and I stare in confusion.

"What are you doing?"

"This car is yours." He says in a monotone manner, and I flinch as he shoves the keys at me. I catch them before they fall to the ground, seeing him walk away from him.

"Wait! I can't keep this-!"

"Yes, you can." I see the car door open from the drivers side, revealing Ezra sitting with a smirk. "And you will. Merry 'early' Christmas."

I stare at him in shock, seeing him continue to smirk at me knowingly. He sighed happily as he got out of the car, patting the roof.

"It's a custom Mercedes SUV, to be exact- a Mercedes-Maybach GLS SUV. Red leather...so much configurations." He smirks even bigger as he told me those details. "I realized that when you worked at your other job, you never had a car. Then it occurred to me...that you don't have one."
