In the middle of the night, Elysia felt her skin crawling. Her body was shaking intensely. ''Leave me.'' She murmured. ''Let go of me." Her voice got louder. Sebastian was sleeping on the chair. His eyes snapped open when he heard her wails. He immediately walked to her just to find her looking like a frightened puppy. At that sight, his cold heart started to thaw. ''Elysia." He called her name ever so softly that he could not even recognize his own voice. Elysia started shaking her head from left to right and right to left as she was in a state of denial. ''You are fine.'' He held her hand and at the touch, her eyes opened. In the dim lights, her pupil contracted to find him and when she saw a man sitting beside her... she screamed, "DON'T DO THIS TO ME. I BEG YOU.'' His heart clenched. He imagined that she would have begged that bloody bastard the same way. ''It's me. You are safe.'' His voice was loud. He did that to pull her back to reality. But she wasn't listening to him.

Ricci had successfully incorporated spies into the Russians and they were given the task of finding the way to their secret hideout. Meanwhile, Sebastian was like a hungry beast who was waiting for the chance to rip those bloody Russians apart. A week went by and within that week, Elysia sensed noticeable changes in herself. The fear that kept her on her toes was nowhere to be seen. She felt safe and sound in his company. The shallowness was fading away and now she was getting better. However, she was concerned about one thing. ''Sebastian, I cannot stay here like a prisoner. I have a life out there and I need to work at the clinic." She was frustrated. Her hands were running in the thick fur of Daisy. ''I know. Just give me sometime." He had a sharp intake of air. He took a seat beside her and held her hand. She bit her bottom lip to stop herself from getting affected by the terrible past. Then, his hand moved towards the 'M' on her face and he touched it. Although the 'M' was now

Sebastian turned the lights of the room dim. While Elysia laid on the bed. She was a trembling mess. He sat beside her and held her hand. He gave it a reassuring squeeze and kissed the knuckles of her hands. They were sweaty. "Focus on me." He instructed. "Look into my eyes.'' Elysia felt herself being hypnotized by his words. She looked at his handsome face and absently, she started touching his prominent jaw bone. Little stubble was grown and his thick facial hair was pricking her skin, but they were reminding her of who he was. Her hand moved down to his neck and she felt his Adams apple. The bone in his neck was beautiful. It bobbed up and down as she touched it. He let her touch him patiently. She needed to get familiar with him before he could take it to the next level. ''You are not him." She whispered and for a second he thought he did not hear it. "I am not." He leaned closer to her and placed her hand on his rapidly beating heart, "There is only one in the world for whom

Meanwhile, Ricci had given Sebastian the latest update on the Russians. The spies had managed to get their hands on the secret which reveals the mystery about the building. ''They have the ring which belongs to Mikhail, but Mikhail is not in the building currently. Boss, what do you want us to do?" They were standing at the harbour. Sebastian scratched his chin, ''Let's wait for him. Make sure he doesn't have a chance to flee.'' He instructed and stepped inside the car. All they have to do now is to wait. Actually, the thing which divides the building into two parts is the ring which Mikhail wears. If you rotate it clockwise, the wall appears and fades away. He had no idea how his men got the ring but he couldn't have been any happier. Today, he was going to make that motherfu*ker taste death. They waited and waited. Almost an entire day passed. The blue sky was now hiding under the blanket of darkness. While Sebastian was getting impatient, "I need that bastard alive." He spoke in

Their plan worked. The police followed his gang members and during that time Elysia and Lauren slipped away from them. They went back to Lauren's apartment. Elysia sat on the couch in the way of literally falling on it. It was a long day and she was exhausted. Lauren also took a seat beside her and turned to her, "Now, spill the beans and tell me what happened? I am seriously going to confront that Mafia if he has done something bad to you." She threatened her. Elysia scrunched her nose and sniffed hard as the tears in her eyes built up and they were making her nose runny. "Lauren, he broke my trust. He hid the truth from me. All the while, I thought that he liked me for what I am, but that wasn't the case. He was pitying me." She fiddled with her lips and bit her quivering bottom lip. "What exactly did he do?" Lauren was confused. Still, she took her hand in hers and gave it a soft squeeze to assure her that she was fine. ''That man..." her voice was cracking. It was hard for he
