Author's PovLily stared at the wording pasted on the card dumbfounded. Her eyes steadily raised to his before she glanced at the engagement dress laid on the bed, soon instead of getting angry or shocked, she chuckled looking up in his eyes in amusement, waving the card right before his face she shook her head."You think just because you kidnapped me, you can force these decisions on me?" She threw the card right on his face making him close his eyes for a second biting his inner cheek."Mind you, I am already engaged, and just because you think you took me away from engagement day doesn't change the fact that I am already someone else's fiance, the man chosen and accepted by my family!

Author's PovHer words did the damage and the man seemed to have unlocked something in his mind as he stumbled away from her after opening her binds.

Author's PovCyril expected many kinds of reaction from her after she would know about him being a mafia boss, maybe she would be shocked, angry, sad, confused or maybe she might not understand what he even was saying taking her innocence in account. But he had never actually expected her this reaction which she gave or maybe her body did.She fainted, the moment he completed his words, she stared at him speechlessly for a few seconds before her eyes rolled around and she fainted. The man hovered above her forgot about everything else, his anger, jealousy or whatever he had pinned her on the bed for. He blinked several times before leaving her wrists and gentle patting her cheek."Ana, wake up!" He mumbled both worried and anxious but she didn't budge, he sighed heavily before pulling his body away from hers and carefully covering her with the quilt.Taking a seat beside on the bed, he stared at her blacked out face with complicated eyes.
