I looked at the coat hanging on my shoulder, looking around, I barely got a glance of the person exiting the garden and I didn't have it in me to chase after any one.

It was quite cold out here and the thought of someone caring about me made a smile onto my face.

I snuggled into it getting ready to head back inside when I heard footsteps again, I looked up and saw Mrs Thornton heading towards me with a blanket in her arms.

“Oh, honey, you already got yourself a coat. Do you want to catch a cold out here? Why don't you come inside for some hot chocolate.”

“He still doesn't believe me.”

“He doesn't know how to believe. Not easily, for sure.”

I bit my lips in frustration, immediately releasing it when I tasted blood. Didn't think I bit it that hard.

“What if he never does?” I asked. “What if I'm always going to be the enemy in his eyes?”

Mrs Thornton didn't respond, she simply stroked my shoulders.

“I didn't wish for any of this.”

“It’s all going to be alright, just give it time. Let's g

  • The Billionaire’s Captive Bride   Chapter 19

    I woke up to the sound of a knock, I groaned feeling quite irritated, I was finally able to get some shut eye not too long ago after struggling all night.I said ‘come in’, my eyes instantly closing as I was still feeling sleepy. But my eyes cracked open a bit when I smelt a familiar scent.Mrs Thornton.I instantly sat up, the sleep disappearing from my eyes.“Mrs Thornton? What's going on?” I asked as I tried to adjust my gaze to the brightness of my room.“Go get ready.”“Ready for what?”“Just get ready.”I stood up rushing into the toilet. I showered and cleaned my wound, wearing a robe before leaving the toilet to my closet.I wore my usual sweatshirt with leggings before coming back to the room and it was at that moment I noticed Mrs Thornton wasn't wearing her usual uniform.“Is something happening?” I asked as I got closer to her.“Oh, honey, I'm so sorry for how you've been treated these days.” She said, “look at those dark circles.”“Oh, those are from my lack of sleep.”“L

    My palms were sweaty as I reached his floor, my pounding heart warning me to turn back…But Leo would likely believe those guys.Before I could get to his office I saw a door adjacent to his office slightly ajar, and out of foolishness, I just opened it a little bit more.That was when I witnessed an unexpected sight.Leo stood with his back to me, shirt halfway off his torso, revealing a canvas of scars, some were long and jagged, others looked deep. Some looked old while the rest looked newer.His arm was slick with blood and he was trying to tie it with a strip of cloth. I watched as his jaws clenched in agony from his reflection in the mirror before him.I saw everything, the tightness of his brows, the ways his lips were pressed together like he was used to holding in pain.And then I froze, not because of the blood pouring from the side of his stomach but because his eyes locked with mine through the glass.For a moment, neither of us moved. The silence between us was thick, hea

    “What idea?”“That I gave a damn.”My lips parted, but no sound came out and he kept going.“I only came out there because I was asked to keep an eye on you and there was a breach,” he said in a flat tone. “Not because I care that you were about to be shot. Not because I think you deserve comfort. You don't mean anything to me or anyone here, Lena.”I stared at him as it hurt more because he wasn't angry or even cold, he was just…indifferent.“Then why even bring it up?” I whispered. “If you don't care, why tell me all this?”He shrugged, “because you looked at me like I saved you. Like I was someone you could maybe trust.” He shook his head, scoffing. “Don't. Don't put your hope in something that doesn't exist.”I tried to swallow, but my throat was tight.*You're not the first scared girl I've seen in this house,” he added. “And you won't be the last.”I didn't know what to say. How do I respond to all this?He stepped back towards the door, pausing only once to glance at me over hi

    I stared into space, my mind still blank and tired. I didn't get a wink of sleep after what happened last night. My eyes clued to my windows in fear that she might reappear.My hand curled around the gun I was given, I found it later on under my bed but a bit deeper. My ears alert for the tiniest sound and my body ready to react.I heard knock, it was sharp and sudden before my door opened and my controlled body aimed the gun straight at it in reflex. The guard just glared at me looking unfazed. “Mr. Castelli wants to see you.” He announced and immediately turned to leave. “Now!”My stomach twisted as a felt a rush of anxiety. He's back.I slowly rose from my bed, my thoughts spiralling. I could barely hear the echo of my footsteps over the panic in my head as I was escorted to his.The break-inThe crazy lady.He has been informed about what happened, f course he had. Why else would I be summoned?The walk through the hall felt like I was descending into the underworld.The guard led

    The word blinked on the screen which made me sit up and rub my eyes to ensure I wasn't seeing things but it was still there.RUN!Was this Leo's doing?Run where?I glanced back down at the screen but the message was gone. No trace, no history, nothing.Then everything went black.Panic soared through my veins, immediately feeling alert.I stood up, heart racing as I made my way to the door in the darkness.Would they have locked it by now?If so, who sent me this message?My hand gripped the knob…and it turned, it was still unlocked.I hesitated for one heartbeat, then pushed the door open and stepped into the cold pitch-dark hallway.“Mrs Thornton?” I called out quietly, my voice shaking. “Is anyone here?”But I got no response.The mansion was silent, too silent and I couldn't see any guard in sight, especially the ones that were always at my door post.I walked, barefoot, down the hall that felt too long at this moment. My steps were cautious, almost soundless, as if even the floo

    I always thought he would snap out of it over the next couple days but he got worse. There was now this darkness that loomed around him.It started with my locked door. At first, I thought I was imagining it, maybe the handle was just jammed or maybe the hinges were stiff but when I twisted the knob and still nothing happened, I felt a panic rise in my throat.I knocked calmly at first but when I got no response, I knocked harder out of desperation.I hated the idea of being trapped anywhere, it was one of my past traumas that I hadn't gotten over.“Hello?” I called out hoping someone was out there but I got no response. I pounded harder on the door, increasing my voice, “Is someone out there?”There was a long pause before I heard a flat, bored and emotionless voice. “Mr Castelli's orders.”That was it…no valid reason or explanation. Just his name.Some days I was let out in the morning. Other days, it was late in the afternoon and sometimes, I had to wait until the sky went dark aga
