I wake up feeling slightly depressed. This is the first Christmas without my parents and I’m going to spend the day with my fake in-laws and Leopold’s extended family. I lie in bed feeling a lump in my throat. I’m really disappointed I didn’t get to see my brother last night. Maybe if I hurry up I can see him for a while before heading to the Beckett’s Christmas Family Party. That would definitely cheer me up. I put on a pair of jeans and a hoodie, and head out the main door.
The two thugs enclose me against the main door.“Where is your brother?” One of them asks me in a rude tone.I don’t reply, I just look at them
I take a deep breath as I try to find the right words to explain my situation to Leopold.“I don’t know who those men are...” I mumble insecure.“Don’t lie to me, Emma,” Leop
The ride to the Beckett’s mansion if the happiest of my life, I smile all the way there and when I’m not smiling it’s because I’m kissing Leopold. It feels so good to finally be able to express my feelings for him and stop acting indifferent.I can’t help but gasp the moment we arrive at the Beckett’s mansion, the place looks like a magical winter land.

Nate drives us back to Leopold’s apartment, we haven’t said a word to each other since we left the party. I don’t have anything to say, there is simply too much in my mind right now, Mrs. Becketts’ words really hurt and a day that was so full of happiness and excitement suddenly seems blue. The second we walk into the apartment and are alone, Leopold surrounds me with his arms.“I am so sorry about what she said, you don’t have to see her ever again,
(Leopold’s P. O. V.)I wake up slowly and feeling wonderful. I smile as the memories from last night come to my mind. I stretch my arms towards Emma, I can’t wait to hold her close again, but then I startle when I notice that she is not by my side on the bed.
(Emma’s P.O.V.)My head is killing me and my stomach is upset. I slowly open my eyes and look around me. I don’t recognize this dark room. The room is empty except for the mattress I’m lying on over the floor. I try to move, but my hands are tied together on my back with a rope. I try to break free, but the knot is too tight.

(Emma’s P.O.V.)“It’s…. Eh…” the man hesitates to answer.As the man downstairs mumbles, I keep on trying to get free from his grip. I tried to cry out for help, but the second his man informed him that there was someone
The ambulance arrives a few minutes after. Leopold is still conscious, but weak. The paramedics attend to him without wasting any time. They prepare Leopold to take him in the ambulance, I am holding his hand and I don’t want to let go.“Can I come with him?” I ask one of the paramedics.
