Chapter 2Elena's POV The car ride had no sound. I looked outside the window, my heart beginning to beat fast in my chest as we drove through the places I had never set my eyes on before.The city lights became a blur as we passed them but my thoughts fixated on one idea.How the hell had my life flipped so fast?They had betrayed me, sold me, and now a man who gave off a dangerous aura had kidnapped me. My father's words rang in my head, his cowardice eating through me. How could he have done this to me?"What's our destination?" I asked, at last, ending the silence. My voice was trembling but the aim was to sound tougher than I felt. The man, who sat opposite me, shifted his cold dark eyes to look at me. His sharp features seemed chiselled from rock, and his presence made it hard to breathe."You'll know soon," he answered, his tone as frosty as his look."Hey," I said, my anger starting to rise. "You can't just—""I can do as I please," he cut in, his voice deep and firm. "You'

Chapter 4Elena's POV The ropes pierced my wrists, but I didn't stop pulling on. Every twist sent painful pain up my arms, but I still managed to hold on tightly. Why? Desperation was at its peak. After a prolonged period, I managed to loosen one of the ropes and proceeded to release the rest.My chest vibrated while I sat in silence, staring at the reddened skin on my wrists. Standing on my feet, I whispered, "I'm not going to become his prisoner."My mind raced, attempting to plan my next action since I knew going through the door would be a terrible idea.My eyes landed on the window and I realized they were not locked. Walking on tiptoes, I got to it, my heart racing in my chest as I inspected the hinges. They squealed softly, but the window opened with ease.The night air met against my face. I hesitated briefly before leaping onto the window. I got up onto the grass. I didn't wait to see the consequences of my jump because what would happen in a split second was. Unforese

Elena’s POVI know they've always hated me, but I never expected my father to be like this. Giving me up this way and I know he would never come for me. The thoughts of everything that has happened to me kept replaying in my mind like an unending nightmare. Dominic’s words, his actions, the way he had killed that man without hesitation, the way the ground had absorbed his blood immediately, It all haunted me.I turned on the bed repeatedly, trying to find a comfortable position to rest, but my mind refused to keep quiet, I kept thinking about the day’s events.The thought of it all made me drown in a sea of despair. I didn't know how I was going to survive this trauma. Dominic’s words kept ringing in my head, “You’ll stay here until your good for nothing father settles me,” the thought of that sentence alone made my stomach turn because when exactly was my father going to settle Dominic? He wouldn't, even if he would, it would take forever, I might stay here for the rest of my life.

Dominic’s POVBut as I stood there lost in my thoughts, I couldn't get over the feeling that Elena was going to be a problem. She was a resilient one, and I needed to keep a close eye on her, make sure she discarded that stupid thoughts of escaping which would never happen. I smiled to myself as I walked out of the conference room. This was going to be fun. I was eagerly awaiting to see how she was going to continue acting stubborn. I was still lost in thought when a familiar voice called out to me.“Dominic?” she saidI turned to see Selena staring at me with all curiosity in her eyes.“Well, I went in to see your blonde with blue eyes this morning, She seemed naive and innocent though,” Selena said.Naive and innocent? Oh, that girl is nothing like that, I thought to myself. “She might just be the one you've been looking for all these years, don't you think so?” she teased.“Stop it, Selena, I told you that's not why she's here. Why are you so interested in her?,” I asked, wond

Elena’s POV“Where did you expect yourself to be? Oh… you were expecting yourself to burst out on the street? What makes you think I’ll leave an escape route in my house? You’re not going anywhere, baby girl,” Dominic said, pushing off himself from the wall.“You’re mine now, and you’ll do exactly what I say at all times.”I took a step back, “I’m not yours,” I said, trying to get away from him, but he just laughed. His laughter a cold, threatening sound that filled the air. “You can't escape me, Baby girl,” he said, his eyes fixed on mine. “I own you, and you’ll do exactly what I tell you to, regardless of what it is or guess what? You’re going to suffer the consequences.”I felt a chill run down my spine as he took a step closer to me, but I still summoned up my courage to talk back at him. “Point of correction, you don’t own me, and you never will,” I fired back. I knew I was trapped, and I knew I had to think fast if I was going to survive, I had to do my best.I stood there fr
