Chapter: 8. Are my family still alive? Leonardo's words stopped me in my tracks, and my body started to shake profusely before I turned to them again."What do you mean?" I asked, my voice shaking.He ignored me before turning to his friends. "The party is in two hours. Are we going from here?""No, I have to pick up my date," one of the guys said. " I can't dress like this for the epic movie show I'm gonna have tonight," another said and they laughed. " Okay, you guys can show yourselves out. I have to get dressed," Leonardo said. As the guys picked up their stuff to leave, he saw them off to the door while I stood there frozen in shock.I was brought out of my trance when I saw him walking towards the stairs.His words kept ringing in my ears."Not when her father and sister's lives are in my hands; she would obey else."Is Emily still alive?"Hey! What do you mean by that?!" I shouted, unable to hold myself." How many do I have to tell you to never speak to me in that manner?" He said, his tone oddly calm.Quite dang

Chapter: 7.Fear" Where is she?!" The voice of Leonardo boomed, and silence fell upon the room when the door burst open, and his long legs strode in; my breath hitched when his eyes scanned the room and fell upon me. My heart skipped a beat as he marched towards me, each footstep he took sent fear down my spine. His eyes blazed with fury, and his hands twisted into knots, veins popping out of his forehead. "Did you plan with Marco to take Sophia away?" He asked, veins popping out of his forehead, my forehead contorted with confusion. I know Marco is Leonardo's blood-bound enemy, and I won't dare to have anything to do with him while under Leonardo. I can't even contact him since I haven't set my eyes on any phone since my caption."No, I ......" My words were silenced when he gripped my neck, squeezing it tightly; his eyes were bloodshot, just like that day at the club when he murdered my fellow worker. My eyes widened with fear as I hit his arm repeatedly but the strength increased instead. H

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
