Cheska's POVSophia sighed and began to hurriedly speak. "We know a key must be in Valentine's room. We've been looking for it for the past few weeks now." Two gasped in response and tensed up. "We haven't found it yet, but this could be our chance. I can go up to the room and help Cheska look, and we will find it before he comes back. And when we do, we'll hide it. The day he returns, we'll get rid of the guy taking care of us and use it on Mas-Valentine." She finished speaking, somewhat out of breath. I gave her an impressive look."You've been thinking about this a lot?" She grinned mischievously next to me. "I knew he would have to leave eventually and I knew the man who bought you had already asked for help.”I shook my head in remembrance of Anaki and the night he bought me. The night I had a chance at a life without Valentine."Yes, Anaki." I responded to Sophia. "He's a coward. I'm sure he's out of the country, running from Valentine.""We can only hope he's that far away

“I was. I wanted to leave and Vladimir punished you like the way you did with me,” I couldn’t stop my mouth from escaping those words. Valentine looked at me, shock ringing on his face. I fought the part of me that wanted to quickly apologize and take the beating, knowing that was all too easy. As Valentine and I stared each other down, his expression got darker and more furious. Eventually, he spoke in almost a whisper."Did you want to repeat yourself, Cat?" As he was speaking his voice got progressively louder, until he screamed the last word in my face. I once again fought the urge to flinch, as I responded in my calmest voice possible."No." I started calmly. "Vladimir will come and kill you." I kept my chin high and voice defiant, despite every bone inside me that told me to run for the hills.Before I was even done with my sentence, I was once again being thrown against the wall behind me. His punch had met my nose this time, and I could feel the blood now oozing from my nostr

Cheska's POVValentine held me just close enough to the ground so that I couldn't regain my footing, but also so that I couldn't use my hands as support for my body. Since there was obviously no chance of me easing the pain he was inflicting, I didn't mind making it a little worse by trying to escape. I thrashed around wildly, grabbing his one fist with both of my hands. He ignored my futile attempts at freedom, and instead tightened his grasp upon my head. I couldn't help but yelp in pain at this, as I felt each strand of hair being ripped from my head. The entire time he was dragging me, I didn't stop my struggling. I could tell I was making him angry, but that also meant he might do something stupid and rash. That was a long shot, but it was a chance for me. Our small group was now walking across the fields behind his mansion. My body slid easily against the grass beneath me, while my shorts and legs stained with the dirt beneath it. I attempted to try and get traction from the

Cheska’s POVValentine then walked over to me, until he was standing just a foot in front of me. He reached his hand up and I automatically flinched back. When I didn't feel the sting of a slap however, I opened my eyes to see what he was doing. I saw his hand go into his pant leg pocket, and pull out something minuscule. It was gold in color, and barely the size of my pinky. It seemed thin as a piece of paper, and light as a feather. He held it up to me, so that I could fully examine its details. At a closer look, I saw narrow juts coming out from the tip and side of the object. It almost formed the shape of a key. My eyes suddenly grew wide, as I realized what that key led to. He noticed, and laughed aloud. "Pretty thing, isn't it?" He then bent over, kneeling down on one knee. He took the key that was intertwined between his fingers, and placed it gently on the concrete floor. Then reaching into his other pocket, he took out a much less glamorous key and set it down next to th

Cheska’s POVI uttered out a few unintelligible sounds before opening my eyes, hoping that they got the message. However when I looked above me, I saw they were still there, calling to me.I tried one again to focus, this time my vision becoming clearer. Blurred lines morphed into facial features, and blended colors moved to fill eyes and hair. I stated at the figure hopefully, wishing it was someone I knew to welcome me in death.when my vision finally focused, I was sorely disappointed."A-Anaki?" I croaked.He smiled above me, blue eyes glinting with joy."Cheska." The voice that had been calling my name rang out again, but this time I registered it as Anaki’s."W-What are you doing here?" I questioned him weakly. He shouldn't be dead yet, Valentine just left to go find him."I came back to rescue you. Your mate is here fighting so I can come and save you." He told me while smiling.I drew my eyebrows together in confusion. "Wheres my children? My parents? T-they should be here..
