Dominic’s POV

I walked into the room without even knocking to alert Elena I was coming in. This is my domain, I mean, why would I have to knock in my house before entering?

I stared around the room searching for any signs of escape since that seemed to be her only goal here, which was a total waste of time.

But then my eyes landed on her, Elena, my captive, my stubborn, strong headed captive.

She was sitting right there on the bed, her back against the headboard, he seemed lost in thoughts as her eyes landed on me as well. I could see the fear in them, but then that spark of resistance that has always been there.

I walked over to the bed, and sat down beside her, my weight causing the mattress to dip in.

“Hey girl,” I muttered, my voice calm and steady.

She didn't respond. She just kept staring at me, her face filled with an expression I couldn't quiet explain, and I knew she had a lot to say.

I smiled, an amused smile. I liked her spirit. I liked the way she stood up to me eve

    Dominic’s POVBut as I stood there lost in my thoughts, I couldn't get over the feeling that Elena was going to be a problem. She was a resilient one, and I needed to keep a close eye on her, make sure she discarded that stupid thoughts of escaping which would never happen. I smiled to myself as I walked out of the conference room. This was going to be fun. I was eagerly awaiting to see how she was going to continue acting stubborn. I was still lost in thought when a familiar voice called out to me.“Dominic?” she saidI turned to see Selena staring at me with all curiosity in her eyes.“Well, I went in to see your blonde with blue eyes this morning, She seemed naive and innocent though,” Selena said.Naive and innocent? Oh, that girl is nothing like that, I thought to myself. “She might just be the one you've been looking for all these years, don't you think so?” she teased.“Stop it, Selena, I told you that's not why she's here. Why are you so interested in her?,” I asked, wond

    Elena’s POVI sat on the bed, my mind racing with thoughts of escape, all I could think about in this place was how to flee without taking a look back. I had to get out of here, no matter what it took, no matter how many times I would have to try, no matter how many times I was going to fail, I choose not to give up.I would go continue trying, and maybe he could let me go if he sees my efforts.‘And what makes you think so?’ a tiny little voice in my head spoke.And that's when I realized myself, what the fuck actually made me think that Dominic was going to let me go just because I was trying? He could even get more angry and take out the anger he felt towards my father against me. The thought of being trapped in this house at the mercy of a man who seemed to take pleasure in my fear was unbearable and totally mind draining. I thought back to the conversation I had with the lady who had brought me food. She seemed very kind and warm-hearted, and I wondered if I could trust her si

    Elena’s POV“Where did you expect yourself to be? Oh… you were expecting yourself to burst out on the street? What makes you think I’ll leave an escape route in my house? You’re not going anywhere, baby girl,” Dominic said, pushing off himself from the wall.“You’re mine now, and you’ll do exactly what I say at all times.”I took a step back, “I’m not yours,” I said, trying to get away from him, but he just laughed. His laughter a cold, threatening sound that filled the air. “You can't escape me, Baby girl,” he said, his eyes fixed on mine. “I own you, and you’ll do exactly what I tell you to, regardless of what it is or guess what? You’re going to suffer the consequences.”I felt a chill run down my spine as he took a step closer to me, but I still summoned up my courage to talk back at him. “Point of correction, you don’t own me, and you never will,” I fired back. I knew I was trapped, and I knew I had to think fast if I was going to survive, I had to do my best.I stood there fr

    Dominic’s POVI chuckled, amused by Elena’s bravery and audacity to speak to me in such manner, but she’s also a naive little girl. Thinking she could outsmart me has to be the most stupid and dumbest thought ever. I have every single information about her, every single step she takes in this house, and she must be stupid into thinking she can actually outsmart me. “Do you understand what I just said girl?” I asked, giving her that scary boss expression. But instead of answering me she turned and walked into the same path she came from in anger. I could tell she was probably frustrated and was going back to her room. I laughed again, shaking my head as I’d enjoyed the look of frustration on her pretty little face. “You seem so interested in her, unlike other prisoners,” a familiar voice spoke.I turned to see Selena behind me, she’s been watching me all along. And I was beginning to get pissed by this recent attitude of hers. “What the fuck are you talking about, Selena?” I aske

    Selena’s POVI watched closely as Dominic turned and walked away after ranting about how I should mind my business and all that, his broad shoulders disappearing into the shadows. I couldn't help but smile to myself, “this was so fun to watch,” I murmured to myself, as I felt nothing but satisfaction seeing the awkward look on his face when I teased him about Elena, his captive. Not only that, but I had finally gotten under his skin, and I knew it. This was one cool weakness of his that I had just discovered. I had seen the flicker of emotions in his eyes, unlike the Dominic I’d known all these years. A hint of feelings that he couldn’t hide this time around. Dominic was a master when it comes to control, a man who always kept his emotions in check and unnoticeable, no matter how much you try to look out for hints. But I had seen something in him today, something that made me think that maybe, just perhaps, I could use this to my fucking advantage.Perhaps I could use this to m

    Elena’s POVI came just out of my room again, my heart racing with suspense. I had known what was going on, any secret in this house that could aid my escape. I had to get clues, if there was something more than my father's debt, which was the main reason why I’m here. I had assumed it was just about the debt that my father had given me up and Dominic had taken me as some kind of twisted revenge against my father.But now, with everything that has been going on here, with everything that I had experienced, I wasn’t so sure. There was something more going on here, something that I couldn’t quite figure out yet. I made my way down the stairs, my footsteps silent on the marble floor. The sound of voices filled the air as I got closer to the dinning area. I leaned closer, pushing myself forward, listening as the sounds of laughter and conversations filled the air. I could hear the clinking of glasses, the soft murmur of voices. It sounded like a normal dinner party, but I knew there

    Dominic’s POV“She would be very foolish if she thinks I accepted to take her for personal reasons when her father asked me to,” I added. Selena looked at me with suspicion eyes, “are you sure that’s all you have in mind?” She asked.“Come on, Selena… stop this teasing I’ve told you before,” I said, Selena raised an eyebrow, her eyes fixed on mine, “I’m not teasing you Dominic, I’m trying to understand your attitude the past few days,” she saidI sighed, feeling a hint of frustration. Selena knew me too well, she knows the exact button to press to get a fucking reaction out of me. But I wasn’t going to fall for that bullshit. I wasn’t going to let Selena make me fall for her nasty tricks. “Let’s just drop it, okay?” I said, my voice shaky but under control. “That girl is here because her father owes me a debt that’s all there is to it and like I said I intend to use her as bait to get her father.”Selena leaned back in her chair and gave me that suspicious look with her eyes. “Wel

    Dominic’s POVI waved my hand dismissively, trying to brush off the awkwardness that had settled over the table like a thick fog after my sudden protective behavior over Elena. “Enough of all this nonsense,” I said, my voice cold and commanding, echoing off the walls of the dining room. “We have serious business to discuss, so let’s get on with it and leave irrelevant matters aside.”My men nodded, but they were still looking at me with a mix of both surprise and curiosity, But I ignored it, focusing on the task at hand.My mind racing with the confusion as I seemed so absent-minded that I didn’t know what I was doing. “James, have you made that call to the Russians yet?” I asked, my eyes narrowing slightly, my gaze piercing as I turned to face him.James shook his head, looking surprised at what I had just asked him, his eyes roaming around the room before finally settling on mine. “Not yet, boss.

    Chapter 73Elena POVEven in my drunken state, I couldn't believe it. It just felt as if Dominic spawned here. Because there were no other indicators he was coming. Wait! How did he even find me?I remember Selene and I talked about this being a secret outing, no one would know, we'd be quick in and out. And the rest of the promises. But now things were far from what she actually said.“You disappear for days and the next thing I know you're stalking me. That's not done,” I said, annoyed.“Silence, Elena. You've disappointed me again and this time you willingly put yourself at risk. I made the rule that no one should go out without my permission but you didn't pay any attention to it. Even if Selene took you out, you still brought up the idea. You're the rebel here. I'm trying so much to care for you, but you don't just give a damn,” Dominic said and I don't feel the urge to resist his pull. It's not because I felt powerless—it's because I felt guilty.He actually did care? I asked in

    Dominic POV"How could Selene let this happen?" I questioned, feeling annoyed. Not only did she disobey my direct order, she made things worse by taking Elena to a messed-up place like the club."For fuck's sake!" I said, flinging a book I was holding.I came back wanting to know how I could resolve things with her. After that meeting at the Pabo's parlor, I realized how precious Elena was to me. That woman—and literally all other women—didn't move me the way Elena did. I couldn't replicate the feeling with anyone else.So I thought of apologizing, but Selene had ruined my plans."Her reasons.better be good.” I thought inwardly.Even though I purposely left to meet Don Pietro. Even after the meeting, I could have come back straight away. But I didn't. I didn't want to come back immediately and start getting heavy, barely explainable mood swings again. So I decided the best option was to avoid her completely. If I didn't see her, I wouldn't be moved to worry, I wouldn't be moved to go

    Selene POV“Go get dressed and meet me outside before 7 p.m.,” I said, lowering my voice to a whisper.Elena nodded and jogged away. Since she wasn't watching me, I couldn't help but smile to myself.It was against Dominic’s instructions to take Elena on any outing again since the last time. It didn't go so well—what started as a fun outing turned into a shootout with Luca's men. So it made things difficult for me.Here I was, thinking of what other ways to add fuel to the fire to make the conflict between them more intense. My mind was pondering deeply about what I could do to make Elena want to disobey Dominic even more. But without giving her venomous thoughts, she brought up the idea herself.I couldn't help but laugh inside. Now, even if Dominic gets us on the ropes, just a few arguments and agreements, and I'd still walk out of this situation unfazed.But for now, I had to stop taking joy in my thoughts and focus on actually bringing my plans to work. So, I entered my room to ge

    Elena's POVHe did it. He really did compare me to a slut, to a whore. I never knew or expected that our argument was going to escalate to such a level, but when it did, I felt my pain dig deeper inside me.When Selene told me those things in the car, about how he treated women, I didn't want to believe it. I was angry, and I felt irritated when I got the description, but somewhere inside, a part of me didn't want to believe what Selene said was true—and it was because of the kiss. I still had doubts. But now, his words had confirmed it.Yet, I felt down. Even though I wasn't sure exactly why, but I wasn't angry or worried any longer. I was sad. And the sensation was becoming more evident as I took a minute to recollect the whole thing. Not just when he insulted me.I looked at my hand, and it twitched on its own when I remembered what I used it to do—slap Dominic. I didn't plan it. I was just unable to restrain myself after hearing those unexpected words from him. He was pained, and

    Dominic's POVI couldn't believe that's how meeting her to clear things up would go. If anything, things had gotten worse than they were.It was not my intention, but eventually, this is how things unfolded.I looked at the medication in my hands, and I didn't feel like taking them. Even if I did, I'd probably have an overdose. With the way I felt, I'd need something to take away this pain, to numb my sensations if possible.I was angry with myself again for obvious reasons. Elena made it so. But even then, I knew inside that I wasn't acting like I was supposed to. My reactions, attitude, and character — totally off.Elena wanted to leave this place. She'd say so boldly with her mouth, so I know that much. That she didn't have anything tying her down here. But I felt like that's what fueled my anger inside. Not only did she want to leave, but that also meant she didn't feel the same way I did about her, and that just seemed to raise my anger even more.Thinking back at it now, I proba

It wasn't going to help if I sat on the floor waiting for something like a miracle to happen. Not that I believed in that to begin with. I stood to my feet and picked my handkerchief off the ground.

    Dominic POVI did not know what had gotten into James this afternoon, but I wasn't ready to entertain such direct confrontation from him. What had entered him, I do not know—but I would not tolerate it."You are treading a very thin line, James. I suggest that you stop with your approach and do as I told you to—leave my office," I warned, but my words didn't seem to fuel any fear. He just stood there, unfazed."My behavior is disrespectful. I'm sorry boss, I truly am. But this is an issue I have come to realize that I have to address. If not, it's not going to work out for our benefit. It is only going to make our enemies succeed and our plans fall through," James said, and I kept my gaze, radiating my anger hot at him."This woman—she's becoming your weakness, and it has become visibly evident to me. That is why I’ve decided to speak up against it before it is too late," James said."Say what you have in mind, James. Say it," I dared, and he gulped and replied."Elena has taken too m

    Selene POVDominic hadn't answered my question. It had been a full five minutes since I asked, yet he hadn't given me an answer or even said a word. He was still thinking, but that made my heart pound even more as the minutes went by. Why was he still thinking?Dominic sighed and looked at me, and I saw he was ready to respond to my question. I steeled myself as best as I could—so if what he wanted to say would hurt me, even a little, I would be able to take it. I hoped so.“If I'm being real, Selene, I don't know,” Dominic replied to me, and my face squeezed up.“What do you not know?” I asked.“What you just asked me about. That is, my feelings for Elena. I can't give you a definite answer,” Dominic said, and I was disappointed.“Why can't you? She's just taking up space. This should be an easy decision to make,” I said. My anger was starting to show in my words, but he didn't care about that.I noticed it. Ever since he barged into my room before, telling me I needed to go on an ou
