Chapter: CAPTURED YET CURIOUSMy legs moved like they have never moved before, as fast as lightning. In no time, I was miles away from the mansion; running in whatever direction my gut felt right. The environment suddenly became familiar… I can recognize this dark alley any day. My bar! I sighted my bar’s exterior some miles away and picked up my pace, hoping a way out of this mess would pop up. “Hey!” I heard a shout some miles ahead. The bright light of a car’s broken head lamp illuminated my bar all the more causing me to quicken my pace- here’s the way out I needed. “Hey!!” I shouted back, waving the car down. The closer I got, the blurrier my vision became. “Help!!” I heard the car stop and then reverse back… even the car looks familiar. It looks like some vintage old car my dad used to drive back in Italy. Everything looks familiar… am I dreaming again? “Need a ride?” The light skinned driver asked. Another masked guy sitting beside him stared intently at me before looking away. “Yes

Chapter: THIN WALLS Which Chelsea? I took a deep breath and gently kicked my foot against the door in an attempt to push it open but I hesitated my movements afterwards, trying to catch a reaction from them. As expected, the other person hurried out as I heard Ricci cursing under his breath. He quickly sat up and I made my way to the bed, trying my hardest to act normal. “How long were you in there?” Ricci finally asked after several minutes of haunting silence. “Five,” I replied, getting comfortable on the bed. “Son of a bitch,” he muttered aggressively before storming out. This name ‘Giovanni’ has come up too many times and it’s not in any way comfortable. I knew Ricci is a killer but who is this ‘Chelsea’ he is trying to kill? As I shut my eyes, everything became real- so real and so loud. “Go downstairs, Chelsea!” My mother screamed in fear, as she held onto my younger sister in desperation. “They are downstairs too,” I replied, crying and shaking under the t

Chapter: SIGNED TO A DEVIL I simply stared at her, at all of them, wondering how my life constantly winds up like this. “To be honest with you, Chelsea, you have a minute left.” Ricci said, splitting my heart open as I noticed three guards starting to approach me. I quickly picked up the pen and signed the contract under the watchful gaze of Nathara. The second I dropped the pen after signing, I felt my soul cry. It is done. “Very good.” Nathara whispered, smirking, “now listen, there are certain things you need to know before we proceed and it will be in your interest to adhere strictly to it, do I make myself clear?” I nodded like a sheep at a slaughterhouse, frightened to the depth of my being. “You live here now, Chelsea and you are not allowed to leave this mansion without my express permission, understood? Everything you want, whatsoever it may be, will be provided for you.” She paused, observing my facial reaction. “I have to work.” I muttered, numbly. “Not anymore.” Matteo huffed, p

Chapter: “WAKE UP! IT’S A NEW REALITY!” “Wake up, Chelsea!” A strong palm tapped me severally on my foot till I blinked my eyes open. The very clear difference in environment hit me as I sat up, stretching and mentally calculating. I looked around for a bit till my eyes fell on the mask, for the umpteenth time! In an attempt to scurry away, a hand held me back. “Where do you think you're going?” I know that voice. It’s too familiar, too close for comfort! Ricci Rutherford. I slowly turned my head, somehow wishing I could disappear before we lock eyes but it’s too late. We locked eyes; his gaze piercing into mine, searching for unknown answers. “Remember me?” He laughed like anything about this is funny. “Where am I? What are you doing here?” I finally managed to ask, looking around in added confusion. “Did you just ask me what I am doing? In my house? Well Chelsea, I live here.” He smirked, leaning towards me. “Excuse me? Why the hell am I in your house?” I shouted, stressed and frustrated.

Chapter: A PART TWO “Rutherford?” I whispered, shocked to my core. “Yes,” he sighed. My eyes nearly popped out of its socket the second he slowly and calmly took his mask off. My sad attempt at screaming failed as he crashed his huge palm over my face, silencing me. My heart pounded even harder, intense shock spiraling over my body. “You need to calm down.” “Sir,” I shuddered, unsure of what the fuck my eyes are beholding. “Yes, I am Matteo Rutherford and I heard everything my mom said.” He stopped, noticing how inattentive I had become. My eyes traveled the length, breadth and width of this majestic hunk of a man. His chiseled jawline, big pointed nose and charming blue eyes. He stood tall, hovering over me like a giant to a toddler. A glamorous physique, embodying a calm and intriguing aura. His strong fragrance overwhelmed the room, choking me in the divine sensation of his presence. Ah, Matteo, the man you are. “Are you okay?” He chuckled, helping me stabilize. The words refused to form.

Chapter: ONE DECISION, ONE REGRET The morning sun appeared as fast as lightning. As much as I tried to lift my weight off the bed, it remained impossible. The pleasurable pain of a few hours ago spiraled across my body. My nipples perked at the thought of everything. Whoever this stranger is, sure knows how to use his tongue. “So Chelsea, you do know you owe me, right?” His firm voice itched my ear. “How?” I yawned, pulling the bedcover over my naked body. “You can’t remember our bet last night? I gave you one hour and while you were crazy good, you still don’t know my name neither have you seen my face.” He replied, dressing up. The thought of having to go to work flashed my mind and weakened my spirit. “So, how much do I owe you?” I laughed, standing up. “We can’t put a price on it just yet. First, deliver my message to your father. Tell him, a second strike might take his life.” He swiftly left the room. Scared, cold stranded, I stood gaping into thin air. What’s my father’s deal with this man? I pick
