Dominic

_Five years ago.Peace at last. Isabella wiggled her toes and played with the bubbles from the overflowing jacuzzi. The Montego family was away on vacation. The staff was not allowed to use the jacuzzi, and that included her. But who's going to tell? If ever she were to get caught she knew Frank Montego would laugh it off, but his wife, Rosetta would march to the heavens for her to get fired. Then there were the two sons, Eric and Dominic. Eric stayed abroad and they didn't see much of him. Then there was the eldest son, Dominic. She rolled her eyes. The frightening Dominic. She doubted Dominic even knew she existed. The only time he looked at anyone was to give them his icy glare. Apart from that, he kept to himself. Some said he ran the family business alongside his father.A business that none of them knew what it entailed. But one thing was certain, The Montego family was rolling in dough. The family home had been a castle that got converted into a home. With twenty bedrooms, an

Two weeks had passed since the day she listened to Dominic and Joseph's conversation. The mansion was swamped with maids and cooks everywhere, tonight was Dominic's big party. His parents were back from vacation and his brother was expected to arrive before the party. Isabella was now used to her duties as Dominic's maid. She woke up and ran Dominic his bath, and ran any errands he might require of her. Now that she was done tending to Dominic's needs, she was helping Mrs brown polish the wood on the staircase. The sun was making its final journey on the sky and the house looked like a dream. The first guests were expected to start arriving right after sunset. Only a few girls were chosen to help with the party tonight and Isabella wasn't one of them. Nevertheless, she was determined to be part of the party. Earlier in the day, she had collected stones to stand on top of and watch from a window, the window that she selected would give her a perfect view of the party because she

[Eight weeks later.]_Isabella_I threw my backpack on the floor the minute I entered my room, kicked off my shoes, and lay cross-legged on my single bed.Exams were finally over for the semester. I could finally breathe. But I was far from being done with school. I had about three more years to go. But for now, I could breathe before going to work in like...ten minutes.I closed my eyes and let out a sigh. My relaxation was over, I needed to change for work. I walked over to my window and peeked at the road below. It was deserted due to a large number of students who were already done for the semester and had gone home.The cafe was not far, but the silence gave the place an eerie feeling. After changing and putting on music to lift my spirits, I made my way downstairs to the lobby. Mike, the security guard gave me a gentle nod as I passed him and out of the building. It looked like it would be me and him during this summer break. I stopped at the pedestrian crossing, not because

_Isabella_After the previous day's events, I knew who my kidnapper was and that he was not looking to harvest my organs. I let myself relax a little. I took time to enjoy the soft bed and its pillows a little longer than I would have done in my dorm room. Once I was done taking a bath. I wrapped a towel around myself and got back to my room. I was overwhelmed with a sense of Deja Vu.But once I looked around the room and realized the predicament I was in. I sat on the edge of the bed and sighed loudly. I had no clothes to wear. I had left the clothes I was wearing with Stephanie the day before, knowing the state they were in, I'm sure he shoved them in a trash bin the minute I walked out of the room.The only thing I had was a white dress and shoes. I put on the shoes and threw the towel on the bed and walked out of the room."So good of you to finally join me," I heard Dominic's voice before I even came into view.He must have heard the clicking sound of my shoes. My wedding shoes

Dominic ran through the dense forest for what seemed like hours. His throat was dry and his mouth was parched. The men in armored trucks were closing in on him. He took one last step, but his feet got caught in a trap and he went flying into a pit.He felt around him; he could feel hands and bodies pressed up against him. With the help of the moonlight, he squinted for a better view. The pit was full of dead bodies. A sea of faces with eyes that stared into space. Decaying flesh was all around him... And suddenly, all he could smell was death, so much death. "Oh god.Oh no.Oh god, no." "Help!" he screamed. "Somebody help me!" He could feel himself sinking deeper between the dead bodies. Just when he thought they would swallow him whole, someone called his name.Thank heavens help had come. "Dominic, wake up." Isabella shook him. With a start, Dominic opened his eyes and tried to focus on the source of the voice. When he saw Isabella on top of him, he jerked up and sat up straigh
