Elena's POV
As usual, I woke up caged in his arms. He was sleeping soundly with me on his top. His breaths were fanning my ear and his chest was vibrating against mine as he was snorting lightly. He makes me sleep on his top no matter how much I resist and he never losses his iron grip from my waist even if he is in deep sleep.
In short, he doesn't let me breathe in the night too. He has snatched my solace of day and sleeps of the night but not in a romantic way.
Last night he again tried to force himself on me but stopped when I almost begged him and asked him to spare me for one more night. My wound has not fully recovered yet and his mere hold brings even more pain. He never cares that his actions are hurting.
He left me after many requests by saying that it is my last night to sleep peacefully as from today he will not let me sleep like that.
Today is the day when my destiny is going to get sealed with him forever.
Elena's POVI am stuck 'Between Hell and Heaven'"Do not listen to him Elena, listen to your heart and come with me" Raphael jerked me forward."Elena, if you take even one more step towards him, the consequences will be disastrous" I looked back at a very furious Xaphan.He was searching for his gun but I guess he doesn't have it at the moment."Raphael, he has my family under control. I can not let my family suffer because of my selfish motive" my voice was fumbling."Trust me, Ella. Nothing will happen to your family. Please jump before his men reach out to us"He pulled me forward so now I was standing at the window with my right hand in his. Everything is happening so quickly that I am not able to grasp things properly. I was not expecting Raphael to appear all of a sudden."Elena, if you jumped I will give the cruelest and painful death to your family" the monster warned me again.
Elena's POVI woke up to the sound of a gunshot. My heart jumped in my chest along with me on my place. My eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the bright sun rays peeping through the broken window.Blinking multiple times, I tried to focus on my surrounding, the first thing that came into my vision was Raphael's very tense face.I sat up in my place immediately and adjusted my gown. The sun has risen to its full glory telling the world that it is a bright new day.But by the way, gunshots are deafening my ear one after the another, I think we are not going to have a good morning.One bullet came from the broken window and crashed against the front wall. I was about to scream at the top of my lungs when Raphael placed his hand over my mouth, killing my ear-piercing shriek in my throat.My eyes were wide, my heartbeat was doing the marathon and my palms were going sweaty and numb out of fear."Don't mak
Raphael's POVIt is been two days since that incident. After the doctor plucked out the bullet from my feet and dressed my and Elena's wound, she insisted to meet her family.So I asked one of my men to drop her safely at the place where I have kept her family. Although I wanted to go there with her but my wound didn't let me and I have to send her with someone else.I am so much enraged by the things Xaphan has done to my sunshine that I wanted to pull the trigger and kill him right there and then. But my hands are tied by the promise that I have given to my mother. I have promised her not to kill him by myself and I cannot break that promise. I have to wait for the law to give him his share of punishment.Today, after taking the painkillers I was feeling slightly better so I decided to visit her family and talk to her brother about their security. Their safety is still at stake because Xaphan's father is still out of our reach, h
Elena's POV"Sign these papers Elena, you do not have any other option" Xaphan commanded cum threatened me."They are not marriage but death papers for me" I turned to face him. My eyes were burning in rage "I will prefer dying than signing these papers"We are in a room that is completely dark and there is no one except the two of us. The walls of the room are painted in dark color with weird designs that are screaming danger and are scaring me to death. There is dried blood at the corner of the room with no lights or source of fresh air. But the man standing beside me is suffocating more than this filthy and confined place."I already knew that you will not sign these papers so easily" he stepped around me "I know you are a hard nut to crack" he stopped in front of me "but I am not a weak player too. I have planned everything"He turned towards the door of the room."You like the hard way, so here you go" 
Elena's POVBidding adieu to my family was the most difficult task for me. I was overwhelmed with emotions when I hugged the people with whom I have spent my life so far. I don't know when I am going to get this chance again. But this is also crucial for their safety, the same security for which I have lost my everything. If staying away from me can keep them safe then let it be.After they left for our country, Raphael brought me to his home. His mother was pleased to see me. She hugged me tightly the moment she saw me. In her touch, I felt the same warmth as I feel when my mother hugs me.Both of them gave me a warm welcome and allotted me a small room. The house in which they are living is very small and is made up of wood. It is in the middle of the deserted area hidden with trees and bushes from all directions. It is very hard for anyone to reach here and find out about this place.I dropped the bags on the floor and a wild fr
Elena's POVHe was taking deep breaths with closed eyes. It seems like he is preparing himself for revealing the biggest secret of his life."Ella... actually..."He was about to start when we were interrupted by his mother on the door. He closed his eyes in dismay and took his hand back along with his will to speak his heart out. I was disappointed too. Her timing is wrong."I am sorry if I disturbed you"She apologized as she suspected the tension in the environment and was about to turn when I stopped her."No auntiji, it is completely fine. Please come"I smiled to welcome her. This will be very rude if we let her go just like that.She stepped in and walked to us."I was here to give you pain killers"She stood in front of us and gave me the tablets and a glass full of water. I took the tablet and gulped it down.I placed the glass on the side table befor
Elena's POV"Lucifer" she repeated "Xaphan's father"She took a deep breath to prepare himself."I met him when I was 16 years old"She started with her story with a strong determination not to stop until she doesn't pour her heart out. I opened my ears and relaxed my mind to listen to her very carefully."The time when I used to be a free-spirited, ambitious, tenacious, passionate, and loving girl. My dreams were big and I wanted to achieve something in life. I was a quick learner and a philomath. I used to spend hours studying and researching various topics. My parents were very supportive, they let me chase my goals and follow my passion without putting any pressure on me for learning household chores or any other activity which a girl is supposed to do"She smiled a little while remembering her old golden days."My world was very small, which consisted of my mother, father, a twelve-
Elena's POV"And then I gave birth to a baby boy" the side of her lips sarcastically twitched a little bit."He named him as Xaphan, the one who sets fire to the heaven. He gave him that name because he wanted him to be the destructor of thousands just like his father"She sighed."With his birth, I got a new hope. Although at that time I was only 17 years old, a kid by myself, yet the moment the nurse laid him on my chest, I was able to feel that motherly connection with him. My eyes filled with tears of happiness by seeing a small life made up of my blood and flesh lying in my arms. The time when I gave up all the hopes of living life, that little, innocent soul gave me the hope of living my life again, just for him"She was smiling all the time while telling me about the little Xaphan."But all those hopes of mine shattered within few days. I started loving Xaphan very much and he used to sleep with me
