Chapter 3

Author: Ivy
Alexander was completely enraged by my escape.

He dragged me back to the room like a prisoner, produced a pair of cold handcuffs, and locked my wrists to the headboard.

"Since you have so much energy to run, let's put it to better use."

He tore my clothes apart. There was no tenderness, only the plunder of a beast.

"Alexander! You bastard! Get off me!" I screamed and kicked, trying to push him away. "You have Elena! Why won't you let me go?"

He pinned me down with one hand, his heavy body rendering me immobile.

"Let you go?" He scoffed. His fingers maliciously explored my most sensitive spots, sending waves of shameful shudders through me. "Ivy, look at yourself. Your body is honest... You are soaking wet."

"Shut up! Stop talking!" I was dying of humiliation, tears streaming down my face.

"You will stay by my side for the rest of your life. Don't even think about leaving." Alexander bit my ear, his voice low and dangerous, like a sentence from hell. "You are mine, Ivy. Even if you die, you die in my bed."

"You are mine, Ivy. Even if you die, you die in my bed." He was ready to take me.

I squeezed my eyes shut, tears of humiliation and despair sliding down my temples, wetting the pillow.

I stopped struggling, lying there like a broken doll, waiting for the execution.

But the pain I expected never came.

A drop of hot liquid landed on my cheek. It wasn't mine.

I opened my eyes in shock. Alexander had stopped. He was hovering over me.

That pair of blue eyes, usually so cold and ruthless, was now filled with a shattering pain and self-loathing as he looked at my tear-streaked face.

He saw the fear in my eyes. The fear of him. "Dammit!" He roared and slammed his fist hard against the headboard.

Wood chips flew, scratching his cheek, but he didn't seem to feel it.

He rolled off me as if he had been burned, stumbling back to stand by the bed.

He walked to the door, pausing with his hand on the handle, his back stiff and lonely.

"Don't try to run again, Ivy. You know I can't let you go. But..." He took a deep breath, closing his eyes in defeat,

"I don't want to hurt you. Don't force me." He slammed the door shut.

A single tear rolled down my cheek, and I sat there quietly until midnight.

I heard two maids whispering outside the door.

"Looks like we're getting a new Donna . That Elena sure has means."

"Yeah, Miss Ivy is so pitiful... I heard her father didn't run away at all."

"Shh! Keep it down! I heard the bodyguard Jack say it when he was drunk. The Don actually locked Miss Ivy's father in the dungeon."

"Oh my God, that dungeon is hell on earth. No one comes out alive! Why would he do that?"

"I heard that six months ago, when the Don was drugged and almost died, the person who sold him out was Miss Ivy's father... He sold the Don to a rival family for profit."

That sentence exploded in my mind like thunder, instantly chasing away my sleepiness.

Impossible!

That was absolutely impossible!

How could Papa sell out Alexander?

Six months ago, on the day Alexander was attacked, Papa was with me the entire night celebrating my birthday. He never left my sight! He didn't have the time to commit the crime!

This must be another lie Alexander invented to torture me, or he was deceived!

But thinking of Alexander's ruthless methods and the rumors of the torture devices in the dungeon, fear gripped my heart.

If Papa really was in the dungeon... If Papa was being tortured...

I had to save him.

    (Alexander's POV)My hand grasped empty air.My fingertips only brushed a piece of flying skirt hem—the cold touch of silk, fleeting."Ivy—!!"I lay on the railing, watching helplessly as that patch of white fell, like a shooting star, smashing into the rolling black waves.The white foam churned once and vanished instantly.I didn't even think before trying to jump after her."Don! You can't!"Several trusted men behind me hugged my legs tightly, pinning me to the ground."Let me go! She's down there! She's in the water! She's afraid of the cold!"I roared, struggled, and smashed my head against the ground until blood flowed."Go save her! Whoever brings her up, I'll give them the whole family!"The search and rescue lasted seven full days.I mobilized all the family's helicopters and speedboats, even threatening the local navy to block off the entire sea area.I turned the Sicilian sea upside down.But the sea took my bride away.Except for that crystal high heel washed ashore, there

    (Ivy's POV)Gabriel was dead.His body was not far from me, dragged away by Alexander's men like trash.I didn't cry, nor did I scream.When Alexander carried me back to the castle, I was like a puppet with its power cut, letting the maids manipulate me.To cover the blood of Gabriel on my wedding dress, and to mask the pungent smell of blood, Alexander had me changed into a new custom-made wedding dress. This one was even more magnificent than the last, the skirt encrusted with three thousand crushed diamonds, so heavy I could barely stand.He also had them spray a large amount of perfume on me.The strong scent of roses mixed with the rusty smell of blood remaining on my skin was nauseating."Don't be afraid, Ivy."Alexander had changed into a clean black tailcoat and walked up to me. He squatted down and personally put the crystal-encrusted high heels on me.His palms were scalding hot, gripping my cold ankles tightly, as if afraid I would turn into smoke and vanish the next second.

    (Ivy’s POV)Early the next morning.Like a wooden puppet, I was dressed in that heavy wedding dress by several maids. They applied thick powder to my face, covering my pale complexion and eyes swollen from crying.According to family tradition, on the eve of the wedding, the groom must take the bride to the ancestral home on the mountaintop to offer incense to the spirits of past Godfathers.Alexander and I sat in the back of a bulletproof Lincoln.He wore a black suit today, his hair combed meticulously. Along the way, he held my hand tightly, his palm sweaty.He seemed nervous, yet excited, turning to look at me from time to time with a look of morbid satisfaction.The convoy traveled on the winding mountain road. On one side was a cliff face, on the other a precipice.Suddenly, a screech of brakes came from ahead.A heavy cement mixer truck rushed out from a side road without warning, smashing hard into the side of the lead car.Boom!The lead car was knocked flying, tumbling down t

    (Ivy’s POV)I was back in the ancient castle in Sicily.This time, there was no luxurious master bedroom, no servants attending to me. Alexander took me directly to a room deep in the basement.It used to be an interrogation observation room. One wall was a huge one-way mirror, facing directly into the adjacent cell filled with torture instruments."Sit."Alexander sat on the leather sofa in the center of the room. On the coffee table in front of him lay the familiar tablet, connected to the wall's sound system.He swirled half a glass of red wine in his hand.I stood warily at the door. "What are you doing?""Don't you love him?" He lifted his eyelids coldly and pressed the play button. "Then listen to his voice carefully."After a buzz of electric current, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly erupted from the speakers."Ah—!!"It was Gabriel's voice.Followed by the crisp sound of breaking bones, the sound of a whip tearing flesh, and heavy, muffled groans."Stop it!!" I threw myself at

    (Ivy’s POV)"Ivy!"An anxious cry broke the deadly silence.Gabriel pushed through the crowd and rushed over. He was still holding the bunch of holly he had just bought. The moment he saw Alexander, he froze, then immediately threw the flowers aside and shielded me with his body, regardless of the consequences."Don't touch her!"Gabriel's frame looked frail in front of these professional killers, but he didn't flinch, guarding me firmly.Alexander didn't even lift an eyelid.He just toyed absently with the reindeer figurine, glancing at Gabriel as if looking at trash."This is him?" Alexander chuckled lightly. "The doctor who took you from my bed?""Alexander, don't do anything rash!" I poked my head out from behind Gabriel, my voice trembling. "This is Norway! There are laws here! You can't...""Laws?" Alexander acted as if he had heard a joke.He raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.Four bodyguards moved instantly. Their speed was astonishing; before Gabriel could even t

    (Ivy’s POV)We settled in a small town called Tromsø in northern Norway.Located within the Arctic Circle, the winter nights here in December seemed endless.But this was exactly what I needed. The wind and snow here could cover all tracks.Gabriel found a job at the town's community clinic. He no longer held the scalpel famous in the medical world but bandaged frostbitten fingers for local fishermen or prescribed cough syrup for children with colds.I lived in a red wooden house not far from the clinic.Every morning before Gabriel left, he would make the fire in the fireplace very strong. He knew I was afraid of the cold, afraid of the chill seeping into my bones."The aurora index is high today," he said to me while wrapping his scarf that morning. "If the weather is good tonight, I'll take you to the top of the mountain to see it."He leaned in, wanting to kiss my forehead, but paused, eventually just rubbing my hair with restraint."Wait for me to come back for fish soup."After h
