**OPHELIA'S POV**“Make me." Like I had threatened, he picked me up roughly from the floor and brought us down the ship. Just outside stood a large building, even without being inside yet. I had this weird feeling already that none of the things inside would end up being good or in my favor. I hit his shoulders continuously hard. “Let me go,” tears slid down my eyes as he took us inside. Noises in an unclear language filled the air. He walked past the huge number of people, most of the men betting, and what I expected suddenly came into view. Women kneeling in skimpy clothes serving men. “Is this what you do to me?”“Yours would be worse if you don’t keep your mouth shut… Worst, I’d make you go to one of those men’s beds. Maybe that would bring down the silly ego of yours.” My eyes squeezed shut, emotions boiling in me.“Tovary vyglyadyat svezhimi.” A man stopped beside us… smiling at me, the scent of poor alcohol wafting from him, almost making me want to puke. My captor pushed past

Ophelia's PovI saw him, he was close. I remembered never wanting to hold him or get close to him, but now I craved to be with him. Tears trickled down my eyes as I held out my hand for him to take. But his next facial expression made my heart clenched tightly in its cage, my breath catching, and I felt myself suffocating. “You think I won't find you,” his voice spat thick venom.“I…I…” My tears wouldn’t let me explain that I didn’t run from him. I had intended to, but not this time, not this way.“Hey, hey!!!!” I felt my body trembling lightly, the room I stood in with Callum shaking crazily, like it was going to collapse with both of us in it. “Let’s get out of here.” My hand was still outstretched, but he didn’t take it…instead, he began moving backward. “Wake up, they are coming for us.” I gasped awake, coming face to face with Mare. My lips trembled crazily as I pushed my hand into my hair, getting onto a crouching height. I bent my head slightly between my legs, realizing it was

Ophelia's Pov The carriage suddenly pulled to a halt, and everyone gasped. The other ladies began moving backward, some hugging themselves already, but I was too weak to move. As the wagon door swung open, the sound of waves crashing through the shore greeted us... the moonlight penetrating in as harsh winds slapped across my face. Two men came to stand in front of the carriage door, talking to themselves in a language I did not understand. This was time to ask what the fuck I was doing here. “Hey, why the hell am I in here?" I asked, and both men’s gazes turned to meet mine, and I prayed they understood what I had just said. They better do. This wasn’t no joke; I got kidnapped, and I knew what was coming next, seeing the sand just outside… I was getting trafficked, and realization suddenly dawned on me. Was this Gabriella’s new way of helping me out?! But what with this tying me up and shit. “What you say, lady?” I didn’t know if I were to act polite, didn’t know if they were he

Callum's Pov“I don't know what happened….we went down to the basement just for cleaning an—” Leona trembled. The way she talked slowly, not getting to the point, irritated the shit out of me. I had asked my men to try tracking Ophelia, but she didn't wear the fucking ring.“Get straight to the fucking point. The last time I checked this place, I never saw a damn door leading outside." I was seething with rage. I was on the verge of insanity, my temper slowly sipping out of control….. I felt an unholy crave of blood if I didn't see Ophelia in the next hour. I promised to make this city red. I doubted she escaped. Fuck, she wouldn't do that. The cameras were checked to see any traces of her escaping, but nothing came in. It was cleared. That fucking incompetent asshole I had asked to watch her was playing with a kid, and now my fucking wife was missing. I had been keeping Gale for too long. Now I would do the unthinkable if I couldn't find my wife. He was down in the dungeon in father'

Ophelia's Pov“I would be going to Leona's today." Callum's hand curled around my waist, the scent of cedarwood wafting through him. Being the good wife, I had somewhat enjoyed styling his hair; he looked more pretty and manly with hair nearly brushed to the back.He caressed my cheek lightly and I felt heat rising to where he had touched. He was suddenly leaning in close, catching my bottom lips in his, and I froze, knowing we were doing this in front of Gale and Diana. He pulled away. “Before you leave to Leona's, I will be having my personal doctor come check on you.” He squinted his eyes. “You just look different this morning in a sick way.”The frown I tried faking for him kissing me in front of his employees was long gone. “What?!” I looked like the normal me when I glanced in the mirror this morning. I stared back at Diana, giving her a questioning look, and she stiffened, giving a sheepish smile before nodding.“I'll see you later.” A peck came to my earlobe, his scent envelop

Callum's PovI made my way into a place Father normally called the Bellucci's Den. The old crazy man needs a warning to stay away from my wife. My business stays my business, not his. He could ask me to get my hands into his shit, but he should stop meddling in my family business just like he has been doing to my step-siblings.“She said she is not getting married to him. I am married, I married a daughter of a man who is now your ally. I have made you gain more power, so leave Gabriella the hell alone.” I walked in to find Gab and Tazio in front of my father's desk. Two of Father's enforcers and two of his soldiers were waiting for an order from him.Even without being here earlier, I knew what might have transpired. Father had been wanting Gabriella to get married to a son from the De'Luca family, but Tazio never wanted it, wanting to protect Gab with all his power. She was the only sibling in his eyes and something precious he would never let harm come to.Gabriella was fuming. Fat
