Mia's POV A few nights later, I found myself cross-legged and locked in my room. There was no lock on the door but they might as well have been because I couldn't leave the room, food was brought to me at intervals in the morning afternoon, and then in the evening by a plump lady who always had a perpetual scowl on her face.Like I was the cause of her life problems.At some point, I began to seriously wonder if there was somebody that was always making her angry every damn time or if that was just how she appeared no matter how she was feeling at the moment, though I'm sure that I made her angry with the way I always suspiciously eyed any food that she bought for me.A little voice in the back of my mind was always telling me that there was a chance that the food was poisoned, but then I consider that if this man really wanted me dead, he wouldn't go through the roundabout way of poisoning my food and so I would eat it.Someone like him doesn’t seem like the kind to take someone’s li

Mia's POV I tried to collect my breath every now and then.Every conversation I seem to have with this man was indeed a roller coaster, every encounter with him felt like I was a tightrope walker that was balancing ceramic plates on both of my hands, because honestly while he was so handsome which I couldn’t deny each time I saw him, there was this dangerous side to him that he never fail to show me each time.I ran over to my wardrobe, the abrupt order he had given me right before he had exited the bedroom was still echoing around in my head.Why would he want to take me with him? And, where to?I picked any type of clothing that my hands could grab first leaving me in a baggy top and jean skirt with sneakers. He didn’t give me a theme, and since I was not going to a fashion show, and it was already night time, I ran out the bedroom like this, not even bothering to touch up my hair which I just swept up into a big messy bun.As I made my way out of the bedroom, I wondered why I was e

Mia's pov The atmosphere suddenly became chilly and I felt goosebumps that were on my skin, something was off.I could tell that the man in front of me had just obviously declared that this was a trap. Was that supposed to be a joke between them? Well, my curiosity was quenched in only a couple of seconds as the heftiest of all the men who had spoken a little before came closer but then stopped several inches away."If you knew it was a trap, why did you come?""I wasn't sure of it yet and so I wanted to confirm it," He murmured easily, and I was once again, feeling confused. Each time he was scolding on me, which was almost everytime, he always had a scowl on his face and irritation in his voice.But, now that we had somehow walked into a trap that had been set on purpose, instead of him reacting angrily like I’d expect him to, he was doing the complete opposite.Suddenly, I felt the hefty man's eyes focus on me, and I felt like I was going to break out in a sweat even though the nig

Mia's POV After that night a lot of things changed, the most noticeable one being that my kidnapper finally allowed me to leave my room and explore other parts of the mansion. Of course, he restricted some places and told me to never go there unless I was tired of breathing and wanted to retire.Then I was able to confirm that his name was Lorenzo from when his people spoke of him. Honestly, I preferred it when I was locked up in my room because everyone was looking at me as if I was some kind of circus animal, some with curiosity and some with disgust and hate. Meanwhile, I was literally the victim here.I was the one who had been kidnapped on her wedding night.And I had the feeling that somebody was always watching me, as if they were taking turns in observing my every movement.My kidnapper, Lorenzo, also insisted that I should be eating with him whenever he found it suitable for him, meaning that sometimes I would be allowed to eat in my room but most of the time I would have t

Mia's pov I stretched out my hand as far as it could go after that leap, hoping with everything inside of me that I will be able to grab a branch, and I closed my eyes as I felt my finger slipped through thin air. I managed to grab a branch, but it wasn’t strong enough to hold my weight.I let out the biggest sigh of relief for my body since my 18 years of existence and even though the entire weight of my body was being held just by my hands now and it was also extremely painful, I encouraged myself with the knowledge that I was closer to freedom or so I thought, because as I was trying to balance myself and move my way down the tree and found out that I had misjudged the strength of the branch and before I knew it…I was falling down to the ground and the only thing that stopped me from having serious severe injuries was the fact that I was bumping into one branch after the other that's actually scraped my face and body, dragging pieces of my flesh along with it but it somehow soften
