SEVEN

FREYA 07

I didn't know how I managed to fall asleep after eating.  Even more shocking was when my eyes fluttered open to the bright sunlight that reflected through the window. 

I was a fool! Sleeping so care-freely when I should have in fact already come up with an escape plan. 

I wished I could slap myself for being such a dummy who would die due to my own stupidity. 

My brain started to think about several escape plans, first, I had to at least find out where I was, secondly, I had to find out exactly how huge this house was. How many people were present, he had to have several armed bodyguards at least.  

The sound of the door clicking had me flinching to a sitting position.  It wasn't my captor that appeared.  A blonde-haired woman dressed in a lab coat, she was carrying a box in one of her hands. 

"I'm Doctor Chelsea, I want you to lie down on the bed, I need to carry out a few tests." I could only gape at her. 

"W_what tests? And w_why?" The question slipped from my mouth as I backed further away from her. There was something about her that filled my heart with mistrust. 

"I just want to make this quick and as comfortable for you as I can, can you please take off your clothes?"

Did she just put comfortable and taking off my clothes in the same sentence? 

She didn't wait for me to comply and started to unveil the wicked-looking instruments that sent panic through my entire system. 

"You just said you as a doctor, please can you help me? I'm being held here against my will. I was kidnapped, and my friend was killed by him, please help me__" I let it all out in a single breath. 

"Look here, I don't know what you are rambling about neither do I care,  I have to get this test done right now___"

Did she have any ethics as a doctor? How could she be so emotionless? 

Her words faded out when my eyes moved to the door and suddenly discovered that it had to be opened. I did not see her lock it after she had entered. 

I had to take this risk, it could be my only chance to get out of here. Away from these horrible people. 

"___Now lie down let's get started." She completed when I suddenly moved, shoving her aside with all the strength I could muster. 

I lifted the bedside lamp, and without giving it a thought, I crashed it hard against her head causing her to scream in pain. I was only thinking about escaping. 

I sped towards the door to yank it open, instant relief hit me when I discovered it was unlocked. 

I ran into a large hallway that seemed endless. After making several futile turns without finding an exit, I realized that I was lost. 

How big was this house, a castle? 

My heart was pounding so fast, I might be caught at any moment, but still, I refused to give up. I ran in circles for several minutes and made a sudden turn when I slammed against something hard. 

It was a person. 

The worse of all. 

Nikola's cold blue stare had me staggering a few steps back. 

"Going somewhere, are we?" His voice was deceptively soft, his perfect features expressionless. Yet I could feel the simmering rage burning beneath.  The same look he wore when he had ordered his men to kill Ethan. 

For a moment, I stared at him completely paralyzed by terror, I could hear nothing but my frantic heartbeat. 

I started to back away but he was faster.  Steely hands gripped mine, squeezing my wrists painfully until I screamed. 

My back was pressed against his chest, and his other hand encircled my neck, suppressing a cry. 

I couldn't give up like this, I had to escape him, but he was simply too strong.  I was hysterical, writhing myself against him but the harder I fought, the tighter his grip on my hands and neck became. 

I saw black dots, almost fainting from lack of air. My movements became very slow. Then, I gave up. 

At that moment, the doctor caught up with us, she was breathing heavily, her head trickling with blood. 

"I'm sorry sir! She escaped suddenly!" She panted clutching her arms which were slightly bleeding, no doubt deliberately showing him all the places I had hurt her while trying to escape. 

"Bitch!" Her lips spat venom, I knew she desperately wanted to hit me, but my captor was already doing an excellent job. 

His hands were crushing my neck, I didn't think I would be able to ever speak again after this. 

He dragged my limp form back to the bedroom, a scorched whimper escaping my mouth when he carelessly flung me against the bed. 

"Since you injured Chelsea, you leave me no choice but to tend to you myself. For every stubbornness, you shall be rewarded with pain!"

What were they trying to do to me?

I met Dr. Chelsea's smug look. She had been at least a little polite to me before, but after what I did to her, she would want to see me suffer. 

I watched as Nikolas casually wore the surgical gloves, and horror pitted against my stomach, I didn't know what "test" they wanted to perform but was tempted to beg him, even though I knew that he would have no mercy.

Was he a doctor too? He arranged the instruments on the table with seeming expertise. 

He couldn't possibly hurt me in the presence of Dr. Chelsea, right? 

The little comfort I had vanished at his next words. 

"Take off your clothes." His stare was emotionless.

Tears, shame, and anger gripped my chest, he had no right to do this to me, he might as well just kill me. 

"I don't need to tell you again!" He snapped when I didn't move an inch. 

"No!" I glared, he seemed surprised by my sudden courage. The corners of his lips curved into a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. 

"You are quite desperate to test my patience, aren't you? Perhaps, you don't care about your family anymore, or maybe even your little roommate."

Was he talking about Darla?

My eyes widened in horror, but she had done nothing wrong! 

Would he just do anything to hurt me?  

I couldn't afford to doubt him, after just seeing what he had done to Ethan, he was cruel, and my fate was in his hands. 

"Your choice, then." He pulled out his cellphone and my eyes welled with tears of helplessness. 

"No! Wait!"  I pulled my shirt over my head, the cold breeze caressed my skin as I did so, I avoided his eyes as I did the same to my pants. 

I was just in my bra and panties, sickened to my stomach, I didn't want to cry, I didn't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing me so broken. So, I held back the tears, but this was only the beginning of my humiliation. 

"Take those off as well__" He ordered coldly and my gaze snapped to his.  My body trembled as I slowly shook my head.  

He couldn't degrade me like this, I looked at Chelsea who stood behind him, my eyes begging her to do something, but then again, this was probably what he wanted to show me, he was making it known to me that nobody could stop him if he wanted to hurt me. 

With trembling fingers, I slowly unclasped my bra, allowing it to fall to the bed. Shame formed a lump in my throat as I did the same to my panties. I tried to cover myself as much as I could but my hands could barely cover much. 

I've never felt so afraid ___and so vulnerable, at the same time, I've never hated anyone so much as I did at this moment. 

"Good, Now lie back down and spread your legs!" 

I couldn't hold it back any longer, a sob choked out of my mouth. 

"P_please stop, don't do this! "  My cries didn't move him, instead he seemed irritated by my reluctance.

"Do I have to strap you to the bed as well?"

Ashamed by my inability to fight, he held all the cards in his hands, and he knew it.  I shut my eyes closed as I allowed my back to touch the mattress, tears leaked from the corner of my eyes as I parted my legs, my whole privates were exposed to him, and I wanted to die. 

"Wider!"

My eyes remained shut, and my body was too tense, oddly enough a part of my mind had accepted anything that could happen to me, now I just want it to be done and over with. 

I flinched when something cool parted my vagina, I bit my lips hard, refusing to open my eyes even when I felt two fingers starting to probe inside my sex.

"When was the last time you had sex?" 

I cringed at his question, his fingers dug deeper and I tensed at the discomfort his movements caused. 

"You are a virgin, aren't you?" His words made my skin crawl, the last thing I wanted was to give him the slightest bit of satisfaction, now I wished I had fucked with every boy in high school and college. 

"You are just perfect for what I need you for!" He sneered and poked deeper as if to confirm and I cried out at the sudden pressure, my eyes flew open and I met his stare, it was then I noticed that Dr. Chelsea was no longer present in the room. 

I was far too embarrassed by his touch on my privates to question what he meant by his earlier statement. 

"How do you and your boyfriend do it? You appeared to be going on at it that night. Or maybe his dick just wasn't big enough to properly penetrate you?"  He taunted and I wished I could hit him hard across his face. 

"You are only alive for one reason Freya___" His finger grazed my exposed clit and he lingered there, he didn't seem to notice it but that didn't stop me from recoiling. 

"You are going to do a thing for me, you're healthy enough to breed my seed, you are going to give birth to me and Valentina's child." 

My body started to shiver uncontrollably, if I had any fight in me before, his statement vanquished it. 

This was the reason he kept me alive, to be a breeder for him.

"The moment I get my heir, I will free you!"

He was a lunatic!

Freedom___meant death. 

My life was completely over before it even started.
