Chapter 4

The sun light peaked through the windows. I always close the curtains before going to sleep and I live alone.

Suddenly all the memories from last night came rushing through my mind. What the hell!

I jumped up from bed and looked at my surroundings. This was a huge room and you can tell everything here is expensive. No one seems to be in the room except me. I walked towards the door and put my ear on the door to hear better. I couldn't hear anything. I turned the door handle but it was locked.

Sigh.

I walked to the window and looked outside. The view was beautiful. The lawn was freshly cut and green and there was what looked like the woods, at the end. There were beautiful, big mountains in the background. Too bad I can't stay here for long.

Ok, so it seems that I'm in a two-storey house and there are two ways to escape. The front door and the window. I'll have to choose one only because if he catches me, he'll make sure to lock everything so I won't be able to run away for the second time.

I ended up choosing the first option because only a desperate idiot would jump from the window. I guess i was pretty desperate but I would prefer the safer option.

I heard footsteps outside the door and decided to jump into bed again. I pulled the covers over me and pretended to be asleep.

I heard the door unlock and open. I started to move pretending i'm starting to wake up. I guess he was walking towards me because i can hear his footsteps walking towards me.

I sat up and stretched. I faked a yawn and looked at him and right enough, he was right beside the bed looking down at me.

"Good morning, darling. Did you sleep well?"

"Don't call me that. Where am I? Where did you take me?"

"I can call you whatever I want because you're mine. You should get that through your beautiful head, Luna. And where are you? I'm afraid I can't answer that. All I can say is that you're a long way from your old place."

"For the last time, I am not yours. Maybe you should get that through your big, ugly head!"

He clenched his jaw and walked towards the window. He opened the window and looked outside.

"Why can't you just be a good girl?"

"Because you kidnapped me! Are you crazy?!"

"Hmmm, maybe a bit." He chuckled.

A bit?! I wanted to smack his head.

"Why did I bother asking that question?! No one in their right mind would kidnap a girl just because she wouldn't go out with them!" Sorry to break it to you but you're really crazy!"

He laughed and it was beautiful. If he didn't kidnap me, I would've been happy making him laugh but that's not the situation.

He walked towards me and sat beside me. I didn't move back this time. I have to show this crazy man that he does not intimidate me.

He leaned a bit forward.

"I love you and that is all that matters. You would make it so much easier if you would just allow me to show my love for you. I will give you everything you ever wished for."

"I don't want your love! I just want to go back to my normal life where it was just me, alone. Not us. Me only!"

He looked away, leaned back and sighed.

"You are never going to go back to your old life. It's better if you accept that now."

Tears came to my eyes.

"What if I don't want to acc-ept?" My voice cracked at the end.

He looked back at me with a blank expression.

"I'm sorry. This is your home now and you will be staying here for the rest of your life."

He got up and walked to the door.

If i let him go now then he'll just lock the door and I won't be able to get out tonight. I'll have to stay here for a night and god knows, I don't want to do that.

"Wait!"

He stopped and turned around.

"Yes?"

"I understand." I pretended to be sad and looked down.

"You what?"

"I understand. From the moment we met, I have been rude to you when all you have done is be nice to me."

It was quiet for a sec when I felt the bed dip and a hand appeared. He put one finger under my chin and put my head up.

"I'm so glad you finally understand. Together we will be happy. One day we will have children. I will show you the whole world and buy you everything you lay your eyes on."

CHILDREN?! This guy is not okay! After I escape from this place, I'm going to file a complaint to the police and put this guy in a mental hospital.

I tried so hard not to yell "In your fucking dreams!" but remembered that I had to get out of this place and by doing that I had to make him trust me.

"I would love that." I smiled. Pfft sure I would!

He smiled down at me. I felt my face turn hot and I knew I was blushing. We were both staring at each other when I realised I had to carry out my plan.

I started fake coughing really loud. Luca patted my back gently.

"Are you alright, Luna?"

Cough cough. "Yes, I'm fine." Cough cough "I just need some water." I continued to cough violently.

"I'll get it. Don't do anything stupid." He said while running out the door.

I jumped with joy. This is my chance!

I quickly got out of bed and ran to the door. I looked right and left. It was a long hallway. I stopped and listened to any sounds. I heard the fridge closing and decided to go that way. Usually the kitchen is close to the door, right?

I saw stairs and heard Lucas steps coming up. I hid behind a big flower vase. Luca walked past me and walked towards the room I was in. I tiptoed towards the set of stairs when Luca shouted.

"Luna! I thought you knew by now that you can't escape me!"

This was my chance to get out. I ran downstairs and saw the door at the far end of the house. I heard footsteps running from upstairs so I ran towards the door and turned the door knob but it was locked. Ughhh I should've known.

"Luna!"

I gasped and turned around and saw Luca coming down the stairs but he wasn't running. He started to slowly walk down the stairs one by one, very, very slowly.

He knew I was trapped.

"Luna, my darling, you're trapped. You can't escape me. Now be a good girl and go back to your room." By now, he reached the last step.

I panicked and looked around. There was no other door except windows. I saw a vase on a table near a window. That gave me an idea.

He walked towards me slowly. "Luna, you think I'm stupid to believe you. All of a sudden, you understand and want to be with me. Do you think I'm fucking dumb?"

I wasn't listening to him and pretended to be scared of him. Well I was a little. I started to walk backwards while he kept coming forward. I stopped near the vase but he kept coming forward and pushed me to the wall. He put each of his hands next to my head.

"I love seeing you like this. Vulnerable. It makes me want to do things to you that you can't imagine." He spoke huskily.

I slightly shivered.

He looked down at my lips and at my eyes.

I looked at his full lips too and saw them coming closer and closer. I felt his warm breath on my lips until I grabbed his shirts collar and kneed him in the crotch.

He grunted and fell to his knees. "When will you stop doing that?"

"When I leave you."

I grabbed the vase from the table and threw it as hard as I could at the window. The window smashed and all the glass came falling down.

I didn't look back and ran for my life.
