  He chuckled darkly and took some steps forward. The more he walked towards her, the more she moved back until she hit her back against the door of his wardrobe.She was trapped.He gave her a mischievous smirk, maybe this was the position he wanted her to be in. He placed his two hands by the door on both sides of her body, totally restricting her movement and locking her in."So, Sofia," he began, his voice low and menacing. "You tried to escape."Sofia's breath caught in her throat as Alessandro's eyes locked in hers, his presence dominating the room. "I..I was just...". He knew about it and he still bought her expensive gifts? Did he find out after he bought the gifts? Why's he so calm about it? Why's he not asking her to strip? Who even told him? So the Chief Security Officer told him after her numerous pleas, he's heartless like his boss. Was it really the Chief Security Officer? Was it Adriana?No, Adriana was trying to help her. She can't possibly report when she knows she

  Seconds turned to minutes, minutes to hours, hours to days. Sofia waited for Adriana to come and say something on her behalf, but Adriana never showed up again. Sofia wasn't allowed to spend time with Mrs Rose and the maids again.Everything changed for the next few days, until she was told Alessandro was coming back.She became scared when she heard the news. She sincerely wished Alessandro would never come back but the day he would be arriving had come. Even with the tight security around her, she was a bit happy, but today, she was submerged back into that feeling of fear, gloom and anxiety once again. She never knew how afraid she had become of him until today. Just the very mention of his arrival by the chief security officer sent cold shivers down her spine.Sofia repeatedly glanced at the wall clock in her bedroom, most times she would rush to her window to peep if he was back. Watching the hour hand and the minute hand tick continuously in anxiety and fear was killing her. Th

  Sofia raised an eyebrow,as she looked up from her book. Her mind filled with questions as she saw Adriana walking towards her She thought Adriana had traveled with Alessandro, Why's she here? Did he send her to monitor her? She took a deep breath waiting for Adriana to talk.Adriana cleared her throat, "Sofia, that's your name, right?” She asked, without waiting for Sofia's response she continued “Listen to me," she urged, her voice low and urgent. "You need to stay away from Alessandro. He's not what he seems."Sofia's brow furrowed, her eyes narrowing slightly. "What do you mean?"Adriana hesitated, glancing around the room once more before focusing intently on Sofia. "Just trust me, Sofia. I'm telling you something that's vital, something that can save you and your grandmother. Alessandro is dangerous. If you value your safety, you'll keep your distance."Sofia's expression shifted, a flash of anger in her eyes. "Why are you warning me? What's in it for you?"Adriana's gaze loc

  After breakfast, Alessandro decided to check up on Sofia. He entered Sofia's room quietly, the soft morning light casting a warm glow on her peaceful form. He approached her bedside, his footsteps deliberate, yet gentle. Sofia,sensing his presence, remained still, pretending she was in a deep sleep, her breathing was steady and calm.Alessandro's gaze lingered on her face, his expression calm and softening. He reached out, his fingers lightly brushing a strand of hair from her forehead. Sofia's eyelids fluttered slightly, but she didn't stir, her trick convincing, until his eyes fell on the tray of unfinished food on the table. He smiled.After a moment, Alessandro spoke softly, "Sofia, I know you're awake. You don't have to pretend." Sofia's silence was her response, her chest rising and falling with each breath, her face looked peaceful.He stood for a while watching her, he noticed the marks on her body,”I'll see you at dinner,” he said, leaving the room and closing the door beh

  “Go closer to the bed and kneel down!” He ordered.Sofia didn't move, she was shocked. Bed? Why would he ask her to go to the bed? What was he planning to do to her? Her eyes moved to the door, she calculated her escape. She felt like screaming when she realized she was naked and the house belonged to that beast. There was no way she could escape from his house."Now!" He growled, rage flashing in his eyes. Sofia was startled, she slowly did as she was told and moved to the bed, she knelt down waiting for him.Alessandro walked towards the cupboard in the room, he opened it and removed something from it.Sofia gasped for breath when she saw what he was holding in his hand. Handcuff? What's handcuff doing in his house?Why's he moving close to her? Oh, no! He wasn't planning to use it on her, right? "Ale..Ales..what..are..what are..you?"Sofia stuttered, unable to complete the sentence."Shh,I don't want to hear anything from you. Not a word, dol." He snapped back.He quickly came ov

  Sofia still stood by the window, her mind was flooded with thoughts. She felt like a glorified prisoner, normal prisoners still had freedom in the prison yard.Prisoner? That's what she was at the moment, a prisoner. That beast should do what others do to prisoners, send food to her room. He should stop trying to treat her well. Why invite her to eat dinner with him? Why is he even trying to be nice? It's a trap to maybe get her voice, a trap she wouldn't fall into. She won't go meet him for dinner. Never!He is a monster. First he takes her against her will and then wants to have dinner with her. Such a jerk! He's a maniac! He's probably mentally unstable.Sofia walked back to the bed, she laid down, slowly closed her eyes back once more, attempting to sleep.These days she loved to sleep more because her dreams were far better than her current reality.Twenty minutes later, she heard footsteps approaching. From the clicking of heels on the tiles, she could tell it was a lady. Could
