Elena povI have been helping in the kitchen for several hours since two chefs started to work with their grandson. Preparations needed to be done and after they understood I am used around a kitchen they had a lot of things they wanted me to help them with.They are nice, James and Lily and their grandson who is just a few years younger than me and he helps in the kitchen when he's not a school. His name is Oliver and he is a bit shy.When customers started to arrive they had their hands full and several other people started to work. I went back to the washing room when it was needed and had my hands full just to keep up with all dishes.Hours went by and when we were in the middle of having our busiest hours with everything Sofia came running inside to me."I need you to go up to the important meeting room and get the dishes down, a glass of wine has been spilled and you have to clean it up! You will be back down quick again" she says and I feel how all the blood from my head disapp

Elena povA woman walks fast behind me and rushes by, I stand closer to the wall and take a breath of relief when she is out of my sight.I have to get a grip and try to calm down before I meet Claire. Taking the last corner I see Claire sitting and waiting on a bench and it feels nice to have someone waiting for me.Even if she still is a stranger!When she sees me she smiles at me and gets up from her seat."Had a first good day?" She says when I come close to her."Yes, it was. I have some food with me to us from the restaurant!" I say and show her the bag."Perfect! Let's go home" she says and it feels strange to say home. I don't have a home, right now it's a place to stay at and I'm grateful for it. We start to slowly walk back to her apartment while she talks about her day and asks questions about mine.Answering her with what I can while listening for any strange noise. Nothing is alerting my mind but I look at my surroundings from time to time. It's late in the evening and af

Elena pov Freezing on my spot my legs start to shake while I try to put my weight on my good foot. I don't dare to turn around and see who it is, and at the same time, I don't think I have any option to get away from here without. "Turn around!" Comes the voice again and I take a deep breath and slowly start to turn around and see who it is behind me. When my eyes land on the two big bulky men in black suits behind, all I want is to bolt out of there! It's obvious they are his men. I know there is no way for me to escape them and especially not now with my injured ankle. "What are you doing here!" One of them says and If I could avoid answer I would. Taking a breath and trying to find my voice before answering. "Just out for a walk and made a wrong turn!" I say and try to sound as convincing as I can. Seeing them eyeing me closely. I feel small under their intense gaze and try to steady my beating heart. "I will be going now!' I say and swirl around and try to take a step with

Elena povAziel stands in the doorway for a moment before he starts to take long determined strides towards where I am. He never takes his eyes away from me and right now I feel like his prey he is here to finish off!I take a slow step to the side when my heart starts to beat faster, I would make a run for it if I could but I know he would have no problem hunting me down in seconds. I even get a feeling he would probably enjoy the hunt.His angry gaze on me when I slowly step backward and try to come closer to the emergency door. Glancing over my shoulder I see I'm only a few steps away from reaching the door.Turning my head back and looking at him his eyes look furious and the sight makes me start to shiver.What could I possibly have done to him to make him this angry at me?Taking another slow step I have to place my hand on the counter for some support for my shaky legs. For every step, I see him take my anxiety gets worse and I can't breathe.He takes two more fast steps and co

Elena pov I don't dare to go against him when he picks me up in his arms and starts carrying me up to his office. I feel small in his arms and I want to be anywhere else than here. My heart beats hard in my chest and I hardly manage to breathe when he shoves a door open with his foot and walks inside with me. I see we have reached his office and he places me down on my feet but doesn't step away from me. "Hand me your shoes!" He says in his dominant voice. Raising my head to look at him I meet his brown eyes and get lost for a moment just staring into them. "Your shoes!' He says again and it jolts me out of my trance. I don't get it why he needs my shoes and I won't take them off. I can't be without my shoes! Taking a step backward he is quick and lifts me up by my waist and places me down on his office desk. " Are you going to disobey me?" He says and leans forward while I try to lean back and get away from him. His face comes closer and his breath is fanning my face. I have no
