I FELL INTO HIS TRAP Chapter 27
(Emily's POV)Tap. Tap. Tap.It is snowing.I sat on the window seat, tapping my finger on the cold glass while trying to get the one lone rabbit in the wasteland of snow's attention. He'd become my friend in the past four days. The four days I'd spent locked in this room. The day I arrived here in Italy.A middle-aged woman, owner of a tight bun, permanent scowl, and, apparently, one medieval black dress, delivered my meals three times daily. "You can call me Alya. I am the housekeeper here. I do not like messes," was how she introduced herself.Where's Leila?I didn't respond, preoccupied with the perpetually locked door that finally lay open. I'd stepped toward it but froze when I saw a man standing in the hall, with an assault rifle held across his chest. I imagined if I ran, a spray of bullets would follow behind me. Which is more terrifying?From what I saw from the fixed bay window, I was on the second story of a remote mansion. Large and built of stone, with nothing but trees
I FELL INTO HIS TRAP Chapter 28
(Dimitri's POV)Sweat and animosity cloaked the dining room, though it remained silent enough to hear a pin drop or just the scrape of my fork.This wasn't a usual dinner for me, and it wasn't due to the presence of two men, whose bruised bodies and egos were bound to their chairs, but because I preferred to eat supper at eight.Marina swept in to grab my finished plate, dressed in her nightgown, a frilly sleep cap placed on her head. Curiosity pulled her out of bed no doubt, rather than a desire to serve me herself, gossiping and cooking were two of her finest talents. It was the latter that made her become the only woman I considered marrying, regardless if she was twenty years my senior and probably weighed more than me. My parents taught me to enjoy a meal more than most. They taught me Deeply sighing as I took a glance at the woman beside me when Marina continued to stand there and stare at my guests, I told her in Italian, "Questo è tutto.”(That will be all)She practically ju

(Dimitri's POV)"Don't get too excited, wife," I drawled. "Want me to kill him in front of you?"Her lips parted, the grip on my hand eased, and she took in Tan and the scene more thoroughly now, from his bound wrists to the man beside him, to the revolver that sat on the table. I caressed her soft thigh with my thumb. "No better time for a second thought, don't you think?" She swallowed, and, in unveiled aversion toward my dinner party, she said, "A funeral would be a better time than this." A smile touched my lips. "As you can see, we're still working on my wife's manners."Emily either didn't like the degrading nickname or her manners being criticized because her nails pressed into my hand, leaving little crescent moons behind, if not blood. Her hair was in my face, curly, untamed, and exuding a faint summery scent. While I would usually be annoyed with a resentful woman on my lap who smelled like innocence and sunshine, I wasn't there yet."Do you remember what I said to you du
I FELL INTO HIS TRAP Chapter 30
(Emily's POV)I came to my sense when an awful smoke trespassed on my nostrils, causing me to frown at the odd smell.W-What the hell happened?The first thing I saw when I woke up was Dimitri with his beloved cigarette, biting on his perfectly clean white teeth, then to the man on the floor, bath in his own blood and as soon as I saw the hole in his forehead where the blood was getting through, I cover my mouth in disgust and closed my eyes as I was nearly puked by the sightings."Vuoi un po' di torta, mogliettina?"(You want some cake, wifey?)My attention was switched to Dimitri. I don't know what that f*king means but as soon as I saw the cake with toppings of splattered blood, joining the sliced strawberry peacefully sitting on the top of the cake, I immediately rushed to one of his potted plants and released the contents of my stomach.H-How can he shoot him in front of me, again!!!I heard him chuckle while I was busy releasing everything I ate this day."This is the third time

(Emily's POV)Head resting against the window. I stared past the spider webs willingly on the glass. Moonlight cast a blanket of silver over the snow, and the frozen wasteland glittered like diamonds.From my vantage point, it felt like I was a princess locked in a tower. Held captive by a monster who shot men in the head at a dining table set with crystal glasses and cake.I'd tried making tallies on the bathroom mirror with an old tube of lipstick I found, which had probably been left by Dimitri's last prisoner, and I was now at seven days.A full week in hell.The door opened, and a chill coasted through me as Dimitri's shadow spread wings across the floor. He pulled the stool beside the mattress and stare at me for quite a while. I just avoided his gaze and forget that he was not around.He just came here to piss me off again.After minutes, I heard him clear his throat and deep sigh as the chair created a sound from the floor, his footsteps resonated in my ear, and he is walking
I FELL INTO HIS TRAP Chapter 32
(Emily's POV)I lazily flipped through the pages of the brochure catalog, where luxury clothes were compiled according to their brand. This is my seventh catalog, after Dolce and Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Burberry, Dior, Channel, and now Gucci. I was done browsing underwear from Calvin Klein, and now he wanted me to pick more than a hundred clothes from these catalogs, which is absurd.Is he planning to build his clothing store? As if I last long here. "Okay! That's it! That would be all." I exclaimed, slouching on the couch.He sighs. "I said more than a hundred, that's only 39.""Are you nuts? I am not going to the runaway and show off the expensive clothes coming from different brands. I just need 10 or 15, why a hundred?""To make use of your wardrobe room." lazily glance at me wearing a sly smile before he returned his focus to his phone. I believe he was playing cards on his iPhone 14, I envy his expensive phone.I miss my Samsung.Rolling my eyes in annoyance, "Do I even

(Emily's POV)"Which of you is Dimitri?""On the left."I jump off the floor when I heard his voice. Goddamn it! I gulp the remaining saliva I have in my mouth. "D-Dimitri?" stuttered, my head was messed up right now, seeing his presence, leaning on the door with his arms crossed on his chest, wearing his grumpy face.I can't distinguish if he was angry or what."Who give you permission to be so nosy?" he firmly asked, and this time, he was killing me with his raging eyes."My conscience?""Get out.""Okay." I immediately rush out of the room, without looking into his eyes as I passed him by. "The brochure is on the table!" I yelled.Once I left the storage room, I had to get away. I went straight to my room and locked the door. I must be dumb thinking that he won't open the door, but I was just being safe at least. The latter part is the bathroom though.The sun was setting by now, making the sky mix with pink, orange, and red. It was a sight to behold. Sitting here alone, peaceful
I FELL INTO HIS TRAP Chapter 34
(Emily's POV)Dimitri and I did the same routine for three days. We ate breakfast together like a couple with serious marital problems then he went outside the mansion to manipulate and maim most likely, and I was escorted back to my room.In an effort to earn some freedom and a way out of this nightmare, I behaved as best as my mouth would allow even though I wanted to scream inside.Dimitri, Leila, Cleo, Lucio, Aly, and the woman from the island whom I believe was Cleo's mother, were the only faces I saw day in and out, and was starting to mess with my head. I didn't know when the shift happened, but I began to look forward to breakfast if only to escape the mind-creating boredom.On the third morning. I came to a realization. "I know what you're doing," I announced at the dining table.Dimitri lifted his gaze from the iPhone that was probably glued to his hand. If "Tasty" and "Delicious!" in a deep Candy Crush voice weren't coming from the stupid device, it constantly pinged with t
