I set the gun down on the table and walked over to her. She flinched when I got close.

"Come," I said softly. I put my hand on her lower back and guided her to the chair next to mine. "Sit."

    ELARA'S POV"Relax," he said softly near my ear.Relax? Was he serious? How was I supposed to relax?His hand moved up and down my back slowly. Like he was trying to calm a scared animal."Look at me," he said.I didn't want to. I kept my eyes down."Elara. Look at me."Slowly, I turned my head and met his eyes.Those blue eyes. They weren't angry right now. They were something else. Something I couldn't figure out."Why do you fight me so much?" he asked quietly."Because you kidnapped me," I said before I could stop myself.His jaw tightened. "I saved you.""Saved me?" The words just came out. "You took me away from my life from my friend. She must be worried sick about me now.How is that saving me?""Your life?" He laughed but there was no humor in it. "What life?Living in that tiny apartment? Struggling to pay bills? That's not a life, Elara. "And so, you had no right”His grip on my waist tightened. "I had every right.""No. You didn't."We stared at each other. The tension was

Deep red, like blood."This will look good on you," she said, holding it up.The dress was beautiful. I hated that it was beautiful. Short, tight, with thin straps.

    ELARA'S POVI stood up from the bed stretching my arms. I didn’t know when I fell asleep the bed feels so soft I didn’t know when i slept off.I looked around the room again really taking it all in this time.Everything screamed luxury. The bed was probably worth more than everything I owned back home. The curtains looked like real silk. Even the room smelled good like expensive candles and fresh flowers.This was my prison. Might as well see what kind of prison it was.I went to the closet first and pulled the doors open. My jaw dropped.Holy crap.The closet was huge. And it was filled with designer clothes. Gucci.

    ELARA'S POVI was still sitting on the floor like an idiot my butt hurting from the fall. I looked up at him standing there all tall and perfect in his expensive suit looking down at me like I was some kind of interesting pet he just bought.No. No way. I'm not doing this.I pushed myself up from the floor my legs shaking a little. I stood up and immediately started backing away from him. My back hit the wall and I pressed against it trying to put as much distance between us as possible."Let me go," I said and my voice came out all shaky but I tried to sound strong. "I don't know you. I won't report to the police I swear. Just let me go home please."He didn't move. He just stood there watching me with those cold blue eyes. His face was calm. Too calm."Let you go?" he repeated slowly like he was thinking about it. Then he smiled a little. "No I don't think so.""Please," I said again and I hated how desperate I sounded. "I won't tell anyone what you did. I'll just go back to my life
