Goes in

Scott's gaze lingered on the peephole for a moment longer, his eyes burning with an unspoken hunger, before he turned back to Aeisha, a cruel smile spreading across his face. He held out the sheaf of papers, his movements economical and deliberate, and Aeisha's eyes widened as she saw the contracts, her mind racing with the implications. "Time to make it official," Scott said, his voice dripping with malice, as he handed her a pen. "Sign these, and you, your mother, your aunt and your grandmother will all be mine."

Aeisha's hands trembled as she took the pen, her eyes scanning the contracts with a growing sense of horror.

Aeisha's hands trembled as she took the pen, her eyes scanning the contracts with a growing sense of horror. She couldn't believe what she was about to do. Was this really better than going to jail? She didn't know. But she couldn't let her family be taken away from her.

Aeisha's hand shook as she signed her name on the dotted line, her mind racing with fear and uncertainty.

As Aeisha's pen scratched against the paper, signing away her freedom and that of her family, Scott's eyes gleamed with triumph. He snatched the contracts from her hand, his fingers brushing against hers, sending a shiver down her spine. With a satisfied smirk, he tucked the papers into his pocket, the sound of rustling fabric echoing through the tense atmosphere.

"Good, now to sample the merchandise," he said, his voice dripping with malice, as he nodded towards the door to apartment 7A. "Get in there." He gestured for Aeisha to precede him, his eyes raking over her body, lingering on the curves that had been hidden beneath the shapeless t-shirt.

As Aeisha pushed open the door to apartment 7A, a warm smile spread across her face, and she was immediately enveloped in a sense of familiarity and comfort. Her mother and grandmother, who had been sitting on the couch, both turned to face her, their eyes lighting up with excitement. "Aeisha, sweetie, we were so worried about you!" her mother exclaimed, rising from the couch to envelop her in a warm hug. Aeisha's grandmother followed suit, wrapping her in a tight embrace. But as they pulled back to look at her, their gazes drifted past her shoulder, and their expressions faltered.

As Aeisha's mother and grandmother enveloped her in a warm hug, their eyes widened in alarm as they took in the sight of Scott looming behind her, his presence sucking the air out of the room. For a moment, the twowomen were frozen, locked in a tableau of fear and uncertainty. Then, in a flash of instinct, Aeisha's mother and grandmother turned to make a run for it.

But Scott was too quick. He stepped forward, his voice dripping with malice as he said, "Aeisha has already signed you all away. If you run now, you are criminals."

Aeisha's mother and grandmother turned to face her, their eyes wide with horror and accusation. "Aeisha, what have you done?" her mother whispered, her voice trembling with rage and fear. Aeisha's grandmother took a step closer, her eyes blazing with anger. "You signed us away? To this...this monster?" She spat the words out, her gaze flicking to Scott, who was watching the scene with a mixture of amusement and satisfaction.

Aeisha took a step back, her eyes welling up with tears as she faced her family's anger and disappointment. "I had ****," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper.

Aeisha's grandmother's face contorted in a mixture of anger and desperation as she took a step closer to her granddaughter. Her eyes blazed with a fierce intensity, her hands clenched into fists at her sides. With a swift, sharp motion, she raised her hand and slapped Aeisha across the face, the sound echoing through the room like a crack of thunder. Aeisha's head jerked to the side, her eyes widening in shock as she stumbled backward, her hand flying to her cheek.

"You foolish child," her grandmother spat, her voice trembling with rage. "What have you done?"

But before she could say another word, Scott's voice cut through the air, cold and commanding. "Enough,"

he repeated, his eyes flashing with a malevolent intensity. "You will address me as Master, and you will show the proper respect due to your owner." He sneered at Aeisha's grandmother, his lip curling in contempt. "You are all my niggers, my slaves, and you will obey me without question."

As he spoke, the woman on his back, Aeisha's aunt, began to stir. She groggily opened her eyes, confusion etched on her face, and Scott felt a sudden surge of annoyance. He reached back and grasped her shoulder, his fingers digging deep into her flesh. With a sudden jerk, he tossed her off his back, sending her crashing to the floor.
