Chapter: 6: Sophia's disappearnceEmma's POV"Or do you want the guards to help you?" He said, the sneer in his voice undeniable.Beads of sweat dripped down my face, mixed with fear and my hands clamped around the knife in my hands.He pulled the robe and the knife fell out of my hands at the force. The sound of the knife clattering on the floor made my heart stutter, racing with a mix of fear as his gaze grew dark, lingering on the knife."Guard!" The loud echoes of footsteps sounded right outside the door.We both bent immediately to pick up the knife; I held the knife, holding tightly as though my life depended on it. In a flash of a moment, a sharp pain coursed through my hands, and my grip loosened, and the knife fell off. The pain made my hand immobile, in my moment of distraction, he was behind me with the knife held to my neck, the cold metal sending shivers down my spine. "Strip," he said, his voice dangerously low and menacing, laced with anger and venom. His presence had this aura emitting from him that

Chapter: Strip Emma's POVMy head pounded as I regained consciousness, pain throbbing in my head.The light from the window intensified the headache. I winced trying to sit up to go close it, when the door entered and the now-familiar woman entered the room."You are awake, you scared me," she said, her face with a smile this time. I forced back a smile at her as she strode further into the room with a tray.The aroma of the food filled the room, and my stomach growled, and my cheeks flushed with embarrassment, but she laughed, easing the tension."Here, have your breakfast to take your medication," she brought the food closer to the bed as she kept her gaze on me. Her face was full of affection, a feeling I was not familiar with anymore; I ignored the throbbing in my chest as she reminded me of something.My father'd always bring us food in bed whenever we were sick. A lump formed in my throat as the tears pricked my eyes, blurring my vision. I forced it back, sniffing as I stuffed my stomach with

Chapter: New daughter Beep... beep... beep... The incessant beeping jolted me awake, my head pounding and my body aching all over. I tried to recall the events of the previous night, but my memories were hazy. All I could remember was being dumped into a dark room for what felt like an eternity. Panic set in as I took in my surroundings. This wasn't the dungeon. Where was I? Memories came flooding back: my family, the fire... Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. The door creaked open, and a woman entered. "You're awake," she said, her voice detached. I kept my gaze fixed on the curtain, trying to process my emotions. "Where am I?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. The woman's gaze flickered, and for a moment, I saw a glimmer of sympathy. "You'll find out soon enough. Freshen up." With that, she turned and left, locking the door behind her. I stepped out of the shower, still wrapped in a towel that barely covered my body when Leo walked in. His presence was commanding, bu

Chapter: Punishment Emma's POV: "Hey! Stop her?!" I heard One of Leonardo's men cry but I couldn't lose focus. My heart racing with fear. I needed to get out of here and free my father and sister. I spotted a fence and made a run for it. My adrenaline kicked in. I grasped the cold metal, lifting myself. As I reached the top, a gunshot sliced through the silent night, I froze. I glanced back; the garden was now filled with the silhouettes of men and they were catching up with me. I jumped off the fence, my ankle twisted in a jolt of pain. My hands throbbed as I dropped to the ground. I bit back a cry. Curses echoed from the men behind the fence. I'd rather die than go back to that shit hole. A streetlight illuminated the area as I limped away, trying to increase my pace. A long trail of cars followed right after, but I hid between the shrubs. I knew they were on the hunt for me. I limped through the deserted streets, my eyes fixed on the familiar outline of my home. As I t

I was furious. Do these people have no common sense?A man glanced at me, and my blood ran cold."Where's your father?" He said, raising a gun at me.Before I could speak, my father walked out, his voice penetrating the air."Emma, we have to leave..."I watched him swallow as he set his eyes on the men before he stepped closer."
