Elodie's POV

I was left alone in that grand living room. The men who brought me here had already disappeared through the tall entrance doors, leaving me standing in the heavy silence.

My hands were finally free of ropes, and I rubbed at my sore wrists before glancing around, truly taking in the place for the first time.

It wasn’t built like any normal modern house. Nothing about it felt warm or lived in. The entire place looked ancient, like something dragged out of another century and pre

    Elodie's POVMy back burned as it scraped across the floor. My dress rode up, exposing my inner thighs. I kicked again, using my free leg to strike at his wrist.He didn’t budge. He didn't even stumble.His grip around my ankle stayed firm as he dragged me along like I was some dirty rag being hauled away for disposal.I shouted for help, screamed at the top of my lungs, clawed at the floor, and reached for anything I could grab to stop myself from moving. But nothing worked.“It’s of no use,” he said calmly, way too calmly. The sound of it made anger twist inside me.I lifted my head and looked ahead, seeing we had reached a staircase. But this one wasn’t the grand staircase that led upstairs.This one went down. My stomach dropped suddenly. I thought it was just another hallway hidden inside the house.He stopped dragging me without warning. Before I could gather myself to run away, he hauled me upright and lifted me against him. One hand fisted in my hair, forcing my head back, whi

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 9: Cost Of Her Attitude

    Elodie's POV A light click from his fork on the plate caused me to jolt out of the trance. I quickly lowered my head to my plate, heart beating fast in its cage.What was that? How was he able to do that? Why wasn't I able to move when his gaze locked with mine? The chill I had felt was unsettling.I exhaled and sat straight, cutting the juicy chicken with my knife. As soon as it touched my tongue, my taste buds came alive and my mind almost exploded.What was this deliciousness I was tasting?As if he could read my mind, I heard him chuckle. I frowned, my eyes pulling up again to look at him. I didn't stare for long of course. Who would want to be caught in those mesmerizing eyes of his?Definitely not me."Tell me..." he started, cutting into his chicken. His eyes were on the plate. "What is your name?"I paused, my grip tightening around the fork and knife I held. That's right. The men who abducted me didn't know my name, because I didn't have my wallet or ID with me."I don't hav

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 8: Dark Styled Dinner

    Elodie's POV Warm water poured over my head and trickled down my face, then my body as I stood under the running water. It was nighttime already and I was getting ready to have dinner with the handsome devil. That's what I'll be calling him because I didn't know his name. Was it El Cuervo or Valiente? I didn't care. After washing, I stepped out of the bathroom, a thick towel tied around my chest and another one on my head. I looked at my reflection in the dresser mirror, my face was flushed and freckles too many to count. I let out a deep sigh and took the towel off my head, letting damp red curls fall on both sides of my shoulders. I wouldn't style them. With the corner of my lips pulled up into a smirk, I moved away from the mirror and finished drying the rest of my body with the towel. Once I was done, I slipped into the same dress I've had on for almost four days now. It looked dirtier under the dim light of the room—the beautiful fabric now ugly. Staring at myself i

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 7: Choose A Dress

    Elodie's POV “LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT OF HERE!” I kept pounding my fists against the door, shouting through the cracks, but all I got in return was silence. The same heavy silence that had followed me for two straight days. Yes, I had been locked in this room for two days now. How did I know? Because daylight had faded through the curtains twice before darkness returned. Because sleep kept finding me and leaving me again in restless pieces. And because every hour in this prison felt long enough to count. No maid had brought me food since I knocked away the food tray days ago. And now, the hunger was twisting my insides and messing with my thoughts. "Hey! Let me out!!" I continued banging, using the last strength I've got. That's when I heard it. Footsteps grew louder as they approached the door. I paused, placing my ear against the door to be sure. I took two steps back when I heard keys jingle into the keyhole. Then the door pushed open, revealing the same maids from be

My hands were finally free of ropes, and I rubbed at my sore wrists before glancing around, truly taking in the place for the first time. It wasn’t built like any normal modern house. Nothing about it felt warm or lived in. The entire place looked ancient, like something dragged out of another century and preserved in wealth and darkness. The ceiling rose high above me, with dark wooden beams running across it. Huge stone pillars stood around the room like guards. Old paintings hung on the walls in worn gold frames, while candles fixed to the walls threw shaky light across the marble floor. A wide staircase curved upward like one from an old castle, with iron railings shaped into fancy patterns. Thick velvet curtains hung over the tall windows, blocking out most of the daylight. Every piece o

  • Craving His Captive: The Cartel Heir's Obsession (Book 1)   Chapter 5: A Handsome Devil

    Elodie's POV I felt a sharp sting on my skin, followed by a low buzz from the tattoo gun. The needle pierced through the flesh of my lower abdomen, digging deep. Finally reacting, I twisted on the bed. Wrong move. Because she pressed my thighs apart, hard, and a sob tore out of me. I shouldn't let her see me break... but I couldn't hold it in. I'm only human after all.I shut my eyes really tight, trying to focus on anything else but the pain. I’d never had a tattoo before. My parents would never allow it, even though I was already an adult—and Dad had several of his own.This was nothing like what I imagined it would feel like.“Hecho,” 'Done,' the woman announced, and the buzzing of the tattoo gun finally stopped.I looked at her just in time to see her rise to her feet and peel off her gloves. She didn’t spare me a single glance, like I was nothing more than a task she’d finished.I tried to sit up, wincing sharply at the pain in my body. My eyes dropped to where the needle had
