l couldn't ask Alex what he meant throughout the whole party but it bothered me a lo and worse of all Fallon seemed to know but she said l should ask Alex. My mind was all over the place to l told Fallon l was going to the restroom. l went upstairs and entered a random room. l sat in the balcony of that room looking at the stars that l didn't notice someone was standing behind me."Not a party fan" l heard him say but l didn't tun to look at him as l continued gazing at the stars.lt was so beautiful up there. Even more beautiful than this castle we were in. l didn't want to talk to the man behind me though."Not a people's fan in general "l said."Neither am l princess"he said sitting next to me. His presence made me feel a certain kind of warm."Shouldn't you be out there entertaining the guests considering that your family is the one hosting the party" l said looking at him but he didn't look like he cared about what l said."My dad will entertain his guests princess but l am right

My eyes blinked open as l slowly regained consciousness. My head throbbed and my whole body hurt like hell. l couldn't even remember where l was and when my eyes finally opened clearly, my heart began beating rapidly, my body froze and l was hit by a strong waive of nausea.l gasp because it was like my biggest nightmare was coming true. l felt trapped and l was suffocating and the worst part is that l was truly trapped. And my dad ,my daddy had died in front of me. My hero and the best person in this world had left me. Maybe survived my heart tried to console me but l couldn't believe it. He was shot right in front of me. They murdered my dad and kidnapped me.My chest tightened with grief and l choked on a sob. My whole world was turned upside down on my birthday like it did the day l was born. How did any of this happen? Everything was perfect but l was back in the darkness.Tears fell silently down my cheek when l thought about my dad.My heart ached at the thought of never seeing

In my subconscious l could feel that there was someone else in the room with me but l kept my eyes shut hoping that the person world just leave me alone. l snapped my eyes open when l felt a finger probing my panties. The pain in my body kept me from moving away and all l felt was pain. My nightmare was coming true.Part of me was convinced that this was a nightmare but no. It was real. My innocence was being taken away from me by a man as old as my grandfather. Dan who happens to be Elena's father was taking advantage of me, to think l once considered him my grandfather. The world was a cruel place and everyone wore a mask. No one was what they said they are and it was a lesson l was unfortunately learning the harder way..l didn't say anything when he touched me and raped rather l spaced out. l thought about dad, my brothers and my grandparents. l thought about the times we laughed together around the dinner table. l thought about the shine in dad's eyes when l said something or whe

l dreamt of dad everyday in the past 2 weeks and it's what's kept me strong. Dad always said something in my dreams.- [ ] l want you to know that you're loved and cherished princess..... - [ ] You bring light into our lives.... - [ ] You're the strongest person in the whole and you never stop fighting....- [ ] Don't let anyone break you....Dan hadn't hurt me again since that day but Boston was always beating and kicking me.l had scars and dried blood all over my body but l didn't feel any pain. l was numb and every time he was done l sinked deeper into oblivion where l only thought about dad dying. Everyday l woke up l felt like a blur. My memories were starting to shatter and l was losing myself. It was almost like l was losing a sense of who l am. The beating had stopped but the isolation was worse. Nights and days blended into each other until l lost count. Days, months, years. l felt like l was losing my mind. How long have l been locked up here, why have l been locked up h

Alex' Pov 2 weeks after the kidnapping l opened the door to her room and sucked in a harsh breath. The sight hadn't changed in the last 2 weeks. The room was just as nostalgic. The pain that stabbed my heart was still as prominent if not more. l was breaking ,our whole family was falling apart.Dad had slipped in a coma but they were slim chances of him surviving and we all believed that the only person who could aid in his recovery was Rosa. If Rosa were to talk to him then he would wake up. The search for Rosa always came back with no results but we didn't give up hope. l refused to accept that my sister was dead because they hadn't been any ransom calls.l put a hand on my mouth trying to hold back the emotions that were threatening to overpower me. Our whole family was so lost with the both of them. We were all dying from inside. "l miss you so much "l said while holding the teddy in her bed. Why did this happen to my sister. Why was she destined to get happiness in pieces. Wh
