Elena's POV
I woke up with a slight headache. I yawned and rubbed my eyes as the chirping of birds filled my ears and the rays of the sun hit my face asking me to welcome the new day.
I tried to move but couldn't as I felt a huge weight over me. My movements instantly halted and my eyes snapped open.
As my mind registered the surrounding, the last day's incident came in front of my eyes. The breath hitched into my throat. I am engaged, engaged to my worst nightmare.
The last thing I remember is that I lost my consciousness when the devil was taking advantage of my body and my helpless condition.
I lifted my head to find him sleeping over me. My head slumped back and my eyes closed in the hope that everything that I have experienced in the last month is just a nightmare and my life would be back to normal when I will open my eyes.
After a minute, my eyes fluttered open to find myself in the same room and under th
Elena's POV"You have to earn it" he smirked again.I could feel a kind of pain going through my heart for my vulnerable condition. Ella was the one who never bowed in front of anyone but this man is making me do things that I have never done before. I have never felt so vulnerable in my entire life.With his right hand, he rubbed his right thing and patted it twice before commanding "Come here"He dabbed his finger twice on his thigh without using his mouth to say anything as his eyes were readable this time and I could clearly see what he wants.He wants me to sit, sit on his lap.I didn't move an inch. My heartbeats were doing a marathon, my hands became sweaty and my breaths became uneven. The silence in the room was eating me."What happened? Cat got your tongue? Don't you want to talk to your family?"I nodded my head because I desperately want it."Then come"He r
Elena's POVI got saved from this devil only because of tonight's party. I don't know what the party is all about neither it is my matter of concern. I am stressed because he has promised me to continue the things 'we' to be more specific 'he' was doing to me before leaving his house.He said that he was lenient with me because he is in good mood today. I don't know what he would do when he will be in a bad mood, neither I want to think about that. I just want to run away from him. The only thing that is stopping me from doing this is my family. Once I make sure that he can't reach out to my family I will fly to the place where he could not even see me.Suddenly I felt a stinging pain on my thigh as he slapped me there. A gasp escaped my throat as I flinched at my place and glared at him."Don't give me that look!"He slapped me once more and squeezed the already bruised area tightly. I tried to pull my leg back, but he for
Elena's POVI can't live the life of a criminal's wife.So I did what I thought is right at that moment. I ran!!But before I could make my way out of this heinous place, I was pulled back with strong arms.Dread filled my nerves, as I lifted my head up to see who has stopped me. Oh, God! He should not be Xaphan.I was a little surprised by looking at two unknown men holding me from both sides. Before I could react, struggle, or ask them to leave me a girl appeared from behind.She was wearing a too skimpy dress which left nothing for imagination. Before I know she was standing in front of me with her arms folded to her chest. She looked at me from head to toe and shook her head in disapproval."What the hell is going on!!! Leave me!!" I yelled."Leave her" as she ordered the boys left my arms."Elena Roy. This is your name. Right?" She asked walking around me and again taking
Elena's POV"Shoot"He ordered his man and a shooting sound reached my ear before everything became still.My ears started ringing and my head started spinning. The man holding my throat left me and I slumped on the ground gasping for air. My eyes were closed and I was trying to feel any kind of pain or bullet in my body. But I wasn't feeling any except on the throat that was in the tight clasp of a monster a few seconds ago.My heart was still beating and the way I was gasping implied that I can still breathe.I opened my eyes at another gun shoot to find the man who was pointing his gun at me lying on the ground, a river of blood was flowing out of his head. His eyes and body were lifeless.A shriek was ready to erupt out of my throat and deafen others but it died in my mouth as soon as it emerged. I became completely numb looking at the pool of blood and the deceased man lying in front of me. 
Elena's POV"Ella"His voice was laded with lust and danger."Stop right there"I heard him preparing his gun for the shot and I am hell sure that this time his gun is pointed towards me. I ignored the feeling and took a step ahead.And boommm............My world stopped for the moment and breath hitched in my throat. I was waiting for the pain to hit me but it never happened. The bullet passed from my left side, though it was just a centimeter apart. Just one centimeter to my left and I would have opened my eyes in hospital or hell as I have done nothing to go to heaven.I instantly whirled around at my place to face the devil itself. His gun was towards the ground now. There is no need for a gun to kill me though as his eyes are already shooting bullets at me. The surroundings are so silent that I could hear my own heartbeats.He took a slow and small step towards me with his menacin
Elena's POVI stirred in my sleep and felt something very soft under me. It felt like I am sleeping on clouds, so soft and comfortable. I don't want to wake up. I snuggled more into the clouds to feel heaven.But then I realized that I am not into heaven but in hell. I opened my eyes to see the devil sitting on the couch with a cigarette in between his fingers. His expressions were neutral and his eyes were unreadable as always. He was looking at nothing in particular. It seems like he is planning the murder of someone.What a lovely starting... Isn't it?I tilted my head to see the time and it is 10 past 6 in the evening.Oh my God! I was sleeping for the past 19 hours. Wasn't that too much?"Finally! You are awake" the devil spoke grabbing my attention.He stood up from his place, used a sturdy ashtray to dispose off the cigarette, and walked towards the bed.He sat on the bed b
Elena's POVI stood up looking at the owner of the voice and my jaw dropped as I freeze at my place."Raphael" "Elena"We whispered at the same time!My brain was not ready to believe what my eyes were witnessing. Raphael is standing in front of me!As I looked deep into his eyes all the memories from our first meet to the last played in front of my eyes as if I am living them all over again. I could see the same in his eyes too. It feels like he also went back to those days when we were together!°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°6 years ago......"All the best Elena" Steven, one of my good friends wished me."She doesn't need the wish. She is already the best. In the last two years, no one could beat our Ella" my best friend Amelia spoke."Overconfidence can ruin everything and I am sure today Elena is going to lose" Andrew our classmate sa
Elena's POVToday is the final. I got late in reaching the University as my mother and brother were not ready to cut the video call. I came to New York for my further studies and I am staying here for the last two years. Three more to go! And then I can live with my family all the time. For now, I am just enjoying my college life to its fullest.After volleyball, it is my chance to play table tennis. I quickly stuffed my things into the locker. I know I should keep them with care but I am messy and I can't do anything in this. It is in my nature.I went to change my jersey and make myself ready for the competition. I could hear boys laughing and cheering outside. After doing my work I came out to find a football team leaving the area. One boy left behind who was going to play against me today. The one who challenged me yesterday. I guess he is on the football team too. Impressive.....He was still standing in front of the mirror an
