Emily's pov:

I feel so bad today. My body is like Jell-O. I have aftershocks from all the times Alex made me come. I was so useless that i ate lunch and dinner in my bed.

When i woke up , I was disappointed yet relieved that I was alone. I showered and got dressed . The closets full of designer clothes with tags. Not that I'm surprised.  This man got money. And all the clothes fit me like a glove.

I went downstairs and saw salley in living room. Are you going somewhere?

I asked cause she's carrying her luggage.

Actually,  yeah. I was going to tell you but  your fiancée told me your unavailable.  She rolled her eyes. Anyways something came up and i need to head back .

I was kinda confused of why she's leaving all of a sudden. But instead i forced a smile.

Ok. I'll miss you salley. I told her cause honestly I'll be missing her . She's like my sister.

I know, Em. But I'll meet you soon. Ok. I'm leaving . Bye. Love you. She kissed my cheek and rushed out. Guards carrying her luggage behind her.

Sighing I went to find storm . He was lying on the couch on Zander's lap.

Hi. He looked up at me from his phone and smiled.

Hey , muffins. You look good today. My cheeks heated . I'm still not used to people giving me compliments.

Thanks. Umm. Do you know where's alex ? I asked him cause i have no idea where that man is.

He'll be here any minute.  Just as he said i heard footsteps and there he was Alex, standing in his glory. Gossh. This man was built like a greek god. I mean just look at him .

He came up to me and hugged me. His face in my neck and he inhaled letting out a sigh. Looks like he had a bad day.

You smell good , kotenok.  He whispered face still in my neck.

Th- Thanks. You smell nice to. He smirked. I swear i could feel it on my neck.

Thankyou, kotenok. But we're leaving to somewhere.

Right now ? I asked as he stood straight.

Yeah. Go pack a few of your clothes and mine. We'll be leaving in 30 minutes. .

He kissed my forehead and motioned me to leave.

Where are you two going ? Zander asked from behind.

Diavolicia. That's all i heard as i went upstairs to our room. I took out a bag and started to pack a few things. I don't know how long we'll be staying there or how many clothes we'll need so i packed quite some.

A few minutes later Alex came to the room. All done? He asked and i nodded my head. Taking my hand he lead us outside and to a black SUV. Opening the door to the passenger's side he helped me get in and went to the other side to drive the car.

How long is the drive going to be ? I asked him and he turned to me.

Five hours,  kotenok. Take some rest I'll wake you up. He took my hand and kissed my knuckles.

Okay. Saying that i leaned against the window and closed my eyes. Thinking about my life before alex took me. My life took 180 degrees turn. Not that I'm mad but that wasn't something i thought would happen to me.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

I woke up to someone caressing my face. I leaned into the touch.

Wake up, little one. I opened my eyes and saw us entering  a huge gate. It looked like one you see in hunted movies with big gates that have nails on top. I saw some men , armed i must say, standing by the gate and some a few feet away.

We went straight in and Alex parked the car snd opened my door. I stepped out . I got immediate chills. This place seems so haunted. We went in and alex took us to a room. This place looks like a castle from the 17's.

He put the bag to one side and lead us further in. There's a fireplace inside. The door knocked and alex went to check while i took of my pony cause it was giving me a headache.

Alex stood behind me and his fingers went to my scalp gently massaging.  I moaned and leaned behind him.

I opened my eyes and saw a man carrying a serving cart.

This is pablo , little one. I smiled at the man. He seems nice . He put the cart beside the bed and left. We sat and ate  the food. After finishing the food alex stood up.

I'll be back , little one. But don't leave your room . He said and i frowned.

Why can't i leave the room? I asked. He stepped towards me and wrapped his hand around my throat. Not hard enough to hurt but enough to show who has the power. He leaned down and put his face near my ear.

Cause i said so , kotenok. And if you disobey my order I'll make sure to discipline you. Hmm. I sucked a sharp breath. His voice so cold and dominating.

Words , kotenok. I swalloed and took a shaking breath before saying .

Yes. I understand.  I told him.

Good girl. Now take a shower and sleep. Saying that he left. I left my mind wandering for a few minutes and then stood up. I want to go and look at the place.

Making a quick decision i head out. I turned the knob and was actually surprised to find it unlocked. I went furthur in the hallway .

This place is haunting yet beautiful in a majestic way. I was so deeply awe struck at the beauty of this place. I saw some stairs leadind down. I guess this place has a basement but i was wrong.

After taking the first stairs , i had to take two more to go to the basement. Faint light is coming from the bulbs hung up on high ceiling.

I saw a large wooden door at the end and went towards it. I pushed it open and with a little , I'll be lying if i said little , lot of force the door opened. I smiled to myself.

To my left i heard voices. I was a bit skeptical but followed the noise. It was a woman's cry. But what i saw shook my soul.

I saw a woman tied to a chair wearing nothing but a sand paper looking jacket and she was naked from the waist down. Her mouth was open but she was gagged.

Muffled screams coming from her mouth. A man stepped beside her and cut off her fingers, one by one. I'm  feeling nauseous.  My eyes widened.

The man yanked her hair and another man handed him a steel rod that was glowing from the quarter of its length.  It wasn't hard to guess that the metal rod was piping hot.

He pressed the rod to her thigh and i leaned down with my hands on my kness. I can smell burning flesh. Water running from my eyes. As i was about to make a  run i heard a voice.

Look who do we have here. I froze at my spot. I saw an old looking man looking dirctly at me.

A pathetic myshka. ( little mouse.)

The man spoke. I looked to the side where the woman was tied . I gasped when my eyes made contact with grey ones. Lacking love which I'm used to see. Alex's cold eyes were throwing daggers and i closed my eyes letting the tears fall.

Update ya'll.  Do vote and comment to let me know how you like the book so far. I was going through a little depressing moment and didn't wanted to do anything.  But I'm back with great ideas. Bye.

Xoxo ♥.
