"I'm not a virgin anymore. Just that I'm not comfortable having sex with you! I don't want to betray my boyfriend!" she responded, annoyed by his question.
Alpha Maxwell groaned in dismay. "We have to do it to get out of here. We have to do it for survival!" he insisted. "We will just fake it. I will do the grinding on top, and you will moan loudly beneath me," he suggested in a whisper.
Naomi refused, shaking her head indignantly. "No way. I can't do it!"
Frustrated, Alpha Maxwell looked up at the ceiling. "Zero, can we do it under the blanket?" he asked in desperation. He doesn't care anymore whether their sex videos are seen by the world. He just wants to get out of this place and start hunting down the mastermind of this humiliating sick game. He wants to kill them without mercy.
Zero responded, "Yes, you can. You can have sex with the lights off. Do it your way. You can do it in the bathroom too. But don't fake it because we will know. We have our ways."
Alpha Maxwell looked at her. "Did you hear that? We can do it under the sheets. You have nothing to fear that our naked bodies are exposed to the camera," he said convincingly.
"My answer is still no!" Naomi stood her ground. "You can't force me!" she spat, sending daggers to his eyes.
"I warn you guys, sex should be mutual, not forced!" Zero interrupts their argument.
Alpha Maxwell threw his hands in the air out of frustration. He gave the ceiling a dirty finger. "Fuck you!"
Zero sighed. "Dude, calm down. You must learn how to coax a woman gently. Make her fall in love with you slowly. You can't force your way into a woman's body and heart by using aggression. Just a friendly reminder."
"Fuck you!" Alpha Maxwell gives the ceiling another dirty finger.
"Alright, I'm signing off," Zero said.
Naomi cleared her throat. "Wait, don't go yet! Can I ask you a question?"
Zero replied, "Sure, dear. What is it?"
"If we don't make love, what will happen to us? Will you kill us?" she asked, holding her breath, already preparing herself for the worst.
"No. We don't kill people. But you certainly can't leave unless you fall in love with each other. We have had couples who have already married and are having children because of this Love Game program. Trust me, after you leave this facility, you will end up marrying each other and raising a beautiful family with your children," Zero said in a singsong voice.
"Fucking bastard! I will not marry her!" Alpha Maxwell said vehemently.
"I'm not going to marry you either! Over my dead body!" Naomi retaliated angrily.
"Guys, discuss things privately. Stop making things complicated between you two. Make peace and make love. That's all you need to do. Afterward, you will be released back to your family. That's all! I'm signing off now," Zero said.
"Wait! I have another question!" Alpha Maxwell shouted.
Zero replied, "Bring it on, dude."
"How many times do we have to do the deed?" Alpha Maxwell asked.
Zero responded, "As many times as you like. Just do it when you feel like doing it. It's up to you."
Naomi's eyes widened in shock. "Why does it have to happen so many times?" she protested.
Zero responded, "Because we want to see the fruit of your love. In short, we want you to get pregnant and have a child together. This is a love game after all."
"But this is too much!" Naomi protested, annoyed.
Alpha Maxwell's face turned tomato red in anger. "Fuck you! Fucking bastard!" he growled, his blood boiling feverishly. Getting played like this in a humiliating way and worse, he can't even retaliate is making him grumpy and irritable.
"Don't fuck me, fuck your beautiful companion. I'm straight, dude," Zero quipped, chuckling humorously.
Alpha Maxwell glared at the ceiling, wanting to pulverize Zero into tiny pieces. Unfortunately, the ceiling was made of concrete. He wondered where the sounds were coming from. Obviously, this room is built differently from ordinary rooms.
"But you told us that we only needed to make love, and then we would be released afterward. Why are you changing the rules? Why insist on me getting pregnant and having babies with Alpha Maxwell? Are you out of your mind?" Naomi protested furiously.
Zero responded, "Well, that is what was in my memo a few hours ago, but now the head office have sent me a new memo, and they want to see babies from you guys 'coz you look good together. Don't hate me, I'm just a messenger."
Alpha Maxwell was irked beyond words. "Fucking bastards! Set us free, and you will never see the light of day ever again! You will pay a heavy price for this! I will hunt you down one by one!"
Zero chuckled. "Trust me, previous couples on this program were angry at first, but later on they began to mellow down and fall in love slowly. Day by day, they realized that they had no choice but to fall in love and continue their beautiful love story outside. So all you need to do is fall in love with each other and paint this room red."
"Get lost!" Alpha Maxwell looks up at the ceiling dangerously. If his eyes could penetrate the concrete ceiling, he had already killed Zero, the annoying guy pretending to be a robot, trying to make fun of them.
"Alright, I'm signing out. I'll talk to you later, guys. Ciao!" Zero said.
Thick silence fell upon the room.
Naomi and Alpha Maxwell looked at each other, their eyes mirroring each other's feelings of bewilderment, frustration and anger.
"Do you really think he is a robot? Or a real guy?" Naomi asked.
"I think he is a real guy. I will beat him to a pulp once I see him in person," Alpha Maxwell replied.
"That is if we can still get out of here alive," she said dejectedly, lowering herself onto the bed. "I'm tired. I need to close my eyes for a few minutes." She lowered herself to the bed and curled up in a fetal position, feeling hopeless, like a child lost in a jungle.
Alpha Maxwell grabbed the blanket and draped it over her body. He stared at Naomi's beautiful face for a long time, wondering why of all the people, why did they choose her? And why him? Who orchestrated this sick game?
