The blindfold remained firmly over my eyes, blocking out everything around me, but somehow that made the situation even worse...I could hear every little movement.And then there was him...Completely silent and heartless, as if none of this bothered him.As if threatening someone over a wedding dress was the most normal thing in the world.I pulled against the restraints again, my frustration rising.“You're threatening her job because she doesn't want to measure me?” I demanded. “Seriously?”There was still no answer as I let out an angry laugh. “Wow. You really have no shame, do you?”The tailor quickly spoke again, her voice shaky...“I'm sorry, ma'am.”I turned my head toward the sound of her voice. “Don't apologize to m
Natalie's POV“Why are you doing this to me? To make you feel better about your miserable life?”I screamed as I pulled against the restraints tagged to my hands but it only tightened around my wrists, but I didn't care...I pulled again and again.My breathing became heavier as frustration continued to build inside me.I couldn't see anything...the blindfold covering my eyes had been there for what felt like forever, leaving me trapped inside complete darkness.All I could hear was my own breathing and the faint sounds coming from somewhere around me.Then I heard him laugh softly almost like my anger amused him.“Oh, sweetheart,” he said...his voice was closer now. “My life isn't miserable.”I clenched my fists...“Well, it was,” he continued after a short pause. “Not until I met you.”I stopped struggling for a moment....What?“The key to my problems.”I frowned beneath the blindfold...What the hell was he talking about?“The key?” My voice came out quiet
Natalie's POV“My mother?”The words escaped my mouth before I could even process what he had just said. “My mother?” I exclaimed again, my voice rising with disbelief. “My mother has been dead for a long time, so don't lie about her.”For a moment, there was silence, then he laughed, not the small chuckle I had become used to hearing from him...this time, he laughed loudly enough that I was almost certain the people outside the room could hear him.The sound immediately irritated me...“What the hell is funny?”He continued laughing for another few seconds before finally calming down. “So you really think your mother passed away?”“What?”“Is that what you think?”“What are you talking about?”“You're certain she's dead?”“Yes!” The answer came out immediately. “My mom died years ago.”“How do you know?”I stared into the darkness behind my blindfold. “Because I know.”“You were told.”“Yes.”“By whom?” I hesitated because there was something strange
Natalie's POV“You should be excited for our wedding, love.” He whispered with a slight chuckle, as though he had just said something amusing instead of something that made my blood boil.Our wedding? The words kept repeating in my head as I sat on the edge of the bed with the blindfold still covering my eyes, unable to see anything around me. I hated that more than I could explain. I hated not knowing where he was standing. I hated having to depend on the sound of his voice and his footsteps to figure out what he was doing.Most of all, I hated how comfortable he sounded...as though everything happening between us was normal.“Excited?” I repeated, my voice filled with disbelief. “Are you kidding me right now?” He didn't answer. “I’m not getting married to you!”My voice echoed through the room but he still didn't respond then I heard his footsteps moving away from the bed.I followed the sound instinctively, turning my head in the direction he had gone even though the bli
Natalie's POV"Our wedding love..." He said it with such pride and satisfaction, that my stomach lurched violently...I stared at the shadow of him, at the silhouette that had haunted my waking hours for days now—how many days, I couldn't even say anymore. Time had lost its meaning in this gilded cage..."No way," I spat, my voice cracking but defiant... "I'm not going to marry any stranger. I won't marry you."He laughed then, a sound that started low in his chest and rolled out like thunder before a storm, warm and terrible all at once. "Don't worry," he said, and I could hear the smile in his voice even though I couldn't see his face... "Before a week you'll get to know me. Intimately."The intimacy of his tone, the way he said it like a promise rather than a threat, ignited something feral inside me. Without thinking, without planning, I threw my body sideways with every ounce of strength I had left, my shoulder slamming into the food tray he'd brought in earlier, the glass of wa
Natalie's POV"In your dreams!" I screamed.My voice echoed through the room, but the man standing beside the bed didn't seem bothered by my anger. I could still feel the blindfold covering my eyes, leaving me completely dependent on my hearing to know where he was.I heard his footsteps moving away from me."Hey! Let me go!" I shouted after him. "You can't just kidnap someone and decide you're going to marry them!"He stopped for a moment then there was complete silence.Then, to my disbelief, he asked calmly, "What size is your finger?""Excuse me?""Your finger," he repeated. "What size?"Was he seriously asking me about a ring after everything I had just said? I clenched my hands around the cuffs"I'm not getting married to you," I snapped. "So don't bother making or buying me a ring."He didn't answer...Instead, I heard his footsteps coming back toward the bed. My body immediately tensed as I tried to move away, but there wasn't much room for me to go."What are you doing?" I dem
Natalie’s POV I never thought this day would ever come, a day when Lucien was this close to me and even on the same bed as me, the maid left after dropping off the message then I let out a sigh of relief as I peeked under my duvet… “Get the fuck out Lucien! What the fuck were you thinking?” He sl
Natalie’s POV There was no way I could duck and hide because he was already close enough, he could hear my breathing get heavy, my heart drummed in my chest as I stood still thinking of what excuse to tell him. “Natalie why are you going through my stuff?” “I’m sorry I didn’t see anything I’l
“Mum?” I sprinted for the door as I saw her walked past, still in that dream again I never get past every single time, probably a nightmare of some sort but I didn’t see any blood yet. I opened the door to check if mum was alright, she was right there, within reach then I stretched my hand forwar
Natalie’s POV This felt more than just a regular punishment, I just stared at him in disbelief, The darkness casting his large shadow over me…“Aren’t you going to leave or…”“I’m going creep” I was still trebling but I had to put myself together, I really didn’t think he would take the punishment
