Marissa Christmas Day together with Antonio’s family was nice. There were a lot of people that I didn’t know and a few children. Now that I saw Romeo together with other children I could see that he had problems with keeping up and easily had tantrums. There were two older boys in their early teens that took Romeo under their wings and played with him. That made me smile. As an official christmas gift from Antonio I got a necklace, ring and earrings specially made for me. They were beautiful but their beauty is not the most important. They have a tracking device inside if I should somehow end up missing, or worse, abducted. They were made of titanium with a beautiful sapphire shaped like a teardrop. Antonio got an expensive notebook bound in leather and a high-end pen from me. But today is the most important day of Christmas for me. At least this year. Mom and dad are coming at noon for lunch. It will be the first time I’ll see them since Antonio took me away from them. Antonio has

Marissa As soon as the door closes behind me the tears start to fall. Antonio takes me in his arms and gently strokes my hair. He doesn’t say a word, only hushes me. I have no idea how long we stand like that, me silently crying and he comforting me. When my tears slow down I lean out from him to look up into his dark eyes. “Thank you.” I croak out and then lean back into his embrace again. “Let’s go up to our room.” He unfolds his arms around me and takes my hand. “Didn’t you have something we needed to do?” He smiles down at me but keeps walking. “Oh. I certainly have something in mind that we can do. But nothing that has to be done.” His tone is husky but at the same time filled with mischief. “Then, why?” “I heard everything they said. I knew they upset you and I only wanted them to leave.” His voice loses all sound of joke and lust. Instead it is stiff and slightly angry. “We can do whatever you want. Do you want to take a swim?” “Yeah. That would be nice.” “Skinny dip?”

Marissa I don’t answer his greeting, only keep looking at him while trying to scold my face to look free of fear. When he realizes that I won’t greet him back he starts to speak again. “I hope you didn’t encounter any trouble on your way here?” It’s obvious that he’s trying to make me more scared than I already am with his obviously faked pleasiantries and I hate to admit that it’s working. “What do you want from me?” “Hm. You see, Marissa.” The use of my name has a shiver of fright run up my spine. “Antonio has something of mine that I want back and you are going to help me.” “And what is this thing that he has taken?” Even though the fear is consuming me I manage to keep my voice leveled as I speak. “A friend.” That has me remembering Josie and James. “And my friends?” Ivan smirks at me as he makes a gesture towards one of the men behind him. The man leaves through a door to the far right and we are left sitting in silence as we wait. Ivan sits with a cold smile on his lips and

Antonio I’m in the middle of a meeting with the tech crew when my phone rings. When I see Luca’s number I answer even if it is in the middle of an important speech from my underling. “She has been taken.” Those four words, words I never hoped to hear are being said. The blood in my veins turns to ice for a second only to bubble up to boiling the next. “What?!” The people in the same room as me all jump in fear of the angry outbursts. The one closest to me even leans away so make sure there is distance between my fist and their faces. “Someone put laxatives in my food and when I had to run to the bathroom, leaving her without protection, she was taken away. I never had time to call in Steve. Nico saw them leave, but too late. It was the Egorov kid. He is following them as we speak.” Luca’s voice is strained and I hear the sound of flushing in the background. “Don’t intercept. I want her back unharmed.” “Understood.” I hang up and focus my attention back on the members of the meeti

This chapter contains sexual assault. If you find that triggering you should skip. Marissa The relief that Anton had to take a call goes away as fast as it came when my brain registers what he has planned for me. He’s gonna rape me. I have to get out of here. I quickly put on my bra and sweater again. I will not make it easy for him to rape me by staying unclothed, that's for sure. I try the door without much hope for it to be open and as I thought it is locked. My eyes scan the room. It is small with bare concrete walls. The floor is concrete as well and has a floor drain in the middle. On the wall next to the door I see pipes and an outlet for water. Whatever they used to do in here was dirty and needed to be flushed regularly. The only object in the room is the thin foam mattress. There are no things littering the floor and no sheets on the mattress. I lift it to see if there is anything underneath but the only thing I find underneath is the blank concrete floor. I start to sea

MarissaMy head feels like it has been through a thunderstorm, then thumped by a horde of elephants and lastly thrown off a cliff. I groan as I try to open my eyes. One eye I manage to pry open but the other one is swollen shut.“Shhh. It’s okay, my love. You are home again.” Antonio’s deep voice reaches me through the pain. He leans in so that I can see him through the crack I manage to open. There is a soft smile on his lips but it doesn’t reach his eyes. His eyes are filled with concern mixed with anger. I lift my arm to search for him and he quickly takes my hand. “You have a concussion and some severe bruising and swelling on your face. But no serious injuries.”“Wha…” My throat is parched so my voice

Marissa“I want a life that is more normal. I want to go home to my friends, to have my friends over whenever I want. I want to meet my parents and have a relationship with them. I want what I had but you took from me!” His arms around me tightens.“Your parents will hurt your feelings with questions about money.” His allegation has anger rising in my chest. I push against him and this time he lets me lean out a little bit to look into his eyes.“You should not be the one to decide if that hurts me. I should have the right to decide what hurts me and what doesn’t. I should have the right to decide who I want to have a relationship wi

Antonio My head is pulsing with an oncoming headache. That useless idiot Morozov really screwed up big time. I have been trying to get to him since he took over after his uncle but he has always found a way out. But now all the afterwork that has to be done thanks to his death is taking up time I’d rather use for other things. Like seeing that Marissa is okay. There has to be a new leader for the Russians and I would want to start off on a good foot with whoever takes the place. It will probably be the cousin of Morozov that takes his place. He is about the same age as me and much more cooperative. He is his father’s son, smart, organized and has values. I think we can have back the truce I had with his father. He might not be all that happy with the amount of
