CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 35. I am here
Erica~“What are you doing here?” My father asked as he opened the long cabinet beside the fridge.I blinked at him, after I had run out of my dark room where the shadows seemed to whisper and touch me I had hidden in the kitchen. My whole body was shaking as I had squeezed my eyes tightly in the dark cabinet and curled up into myself. I hated this dark but here there were no shadows, no rough hands and harsh whispers.It took my eyes a second to adjust to the bright light of the kitchen that he had switched on. “D-daddy, there is someone in my room...”
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 36. Thank you
AntonioI stood on the balcony, my eyes fixed unseeing on the hills and valleys around as I smoked on a cigar while a bottle of scotch rested on the small table behind me. I hadn't opened it, preferring cigar, as my mind was still on what Ephraim had told me. I had asked him to reiterate every single detail he had seen and knowing to completely obey me, he had given me all the minute details. And the picture it had painted in my mind still made me fûcking insane to go on a killing spree. I had told my men to stand there and watch it as I executed punishment and lessons for others. What would happen if someone touched what’s mine, and Erica was most definitely mine. I decided it earlier when I had an impromptu and unwanted meeting with Nikolai.Ephraim’s little crush on her didn't b
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 37. He was big
EricaIt’s been two days since the night I tried to run away and failed miserably, and I was still sleeping in his bedroom. I didn't know where he was sleeping though, because I knew that he hadn't been sleeping in his own bed beside me. I didn’t want him to, but it felt... strange to sleep here while he had to go somewhere else to sleep. And also the fact that he was allowing me to sleep here. But I also didn’t want to go back to the old room so I guess I shouldn’t think much about it.All things aside, I was feeling quite comfortable in his room. Maybe it was because it was totally different from the whole castle. This room was like someone had pulled it out of the catalogue of the best seven star hotels. The floor to ceiling windows allowed the marvelous view of the hills and valleys. The bathroom was hu
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 38. I want to talk to you
AntonioSomething happened last night, no, make that two. Two things happened last night. And both of them involved my little captive.First her nightmare.I could only catch whispered pieces of her nightmare, but it was enough to make me realize that they weren’t just because of what happened to her in the forest here on this cliff. My little diavola has her own demons and darkness, which was probably the reason why she was the way she was. Her need for drugs and pain was starting to make sense. But what didn’t make sense to me, was why the auctioneer had called her virgin if she had been a victim to what her nightmares suggested. As much as I had wanted to wake her up and demand who hurt her— which came as a shock t
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 39. A good nap
EricaAfter breakfast I went to look for Mario as Antonio and Ephraim left me on the terrace while they were talking about the upcoming shipment or something. I found Mario in one of the small rooms on the ground floor. He was writing something on the little notepad in his hand when I knocked. He looked up and smiled, “Erica, please come in.”“Am I disturbing you?” I asked.“No. Affatto. Come, Ragazza.” He patted the divan, motioning for me to sit.I walked inside but didn’t sit as I rounded the small desk he was working on. “What are you doing?”“Making a grocery li

EricaHe held out his hand to me as he said, “Come on, then. You said you wanted to talk.”I looked at his outstretched hand and despite wanting to say something sarcastic about him behaving like a gentleman, I just slipped my hand in his. He gripped my fingers and pulled me up with a jerk. With a soft gasp, I placed my palm against his chest to balance myself and looked up at him. “I was sure you were gonna say something that would've earned you a punishment.” He murmured in his deep voice that stroked my inner thighs.“Punishment? I thought you were feeling a little sympathetic toward me after...” I trailed off, biting my tongue. What the hell I was doing!
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 41. You'll be punished
Erica“Fine. It’s a deal.” I started to move but he stopped me.He shook his head. “Not so fast, piccolo diavola.” I felt my heart beating as fast as he was taking it slow to say his next words. “Considering you haven’t fulfilled the last deal that you struck with me I have a few doubts.” I scowled at him and felt blood rushing into my ears. I have thought about it, even as I had walked beside him into the castle, my thoughts had wandered off to our last deal. Me on my knees, if I failed to make my escape. And I failed, epically. “I will have your servitude for the next ten weeks. No questions asked.”“And here I thought you liked my not giving up nature.” I shot back at him, even as my heart jumped inside my ribcage.“I do. But I’d like it more when you would bend for me, get down on your knees for my satisfaction. Do as I ask just because you want to please me.” With each word out of his mouth I felt the dark desire inside me rising and my pulse beating in a silent demand. “And in r
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 42. Do you want a reward?
EricaI squirmed as he lowered me on his lap but he held me in place with his strong arm and pushed my legs down until I was lying across his lap. The position put my face on his thick thigh and I felt like a disobedient little girl ready to be punished.“It would’ve been more effective if it was your bare arse getting punished.” His dark words made my thighs clench and I stopped the devil on my shoulder urging me to tell him to do it. To pull my jeans down and spank my bare arse, flesh to flesh. But I resisted as his heavy hand settled on my arse and he rubbed it in a circular motion, making it feel like he was trying to soothe me instead of it being the unspoken threat that it actually was. He said, “Start talking.”I licked my dry lips and it took me a moment to go back to that night and intentionally bring out those memories to the forefront. I had pushed them into a box never to be opened again like all the other dark memories but now he was demanding me to pull them into light.

Ephraim“Your job is to do whatever I tell you to do. Protect her.”I gritted my teeth at his absurd command, all these years I had been his shadow, spent all my time protecting him whenever he stepped out of that castle where he lived like a recluse. And now here he was telling me to protect her but not him. I’d have protected her but not at the cost of him, not if it meant letting him be in danger.I pressed on the accelerator as the car that was following us came to the side and slammed at the back of ours, for a moment I lost control of the steering wheel and the car tilted to the one side. I glanced in the rear-view mirror to catch Antonio cupping Erica’s head to prevent her head from slamming into the wind
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 144. Protect Her
AntonioMy office door opened with a bang for the second time that day and Ephraim stood there with Thor barking behind him. Before I could really give him a lashing to remind him of his place and for letting that dog into my office, I noticed the set of his jaw and the paleness of his face and without a second thought, my mind went straight to Erica. “What is it?”Instead of answering me, he asked, “Have you talked to Erica?”Even though I had wanted to call her, I hadn’t. And it was his fault. Because Ephraim’s words had unsettled me and I didn’t want to prove him right so no matter how much I was tempted to call her, I had refrained but now as I saw the expression on Ephraim’s face I regretted not doing so. And more than that as I slipped out my phone and dialled her number I regretted not putting a tracker on her phone after she broke the bracelet when the call ended without ringing on the other side.I had wanted to give her some privacy to talk to her family and it was the reaso
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 143. I don't feel so good
EricaI excused myself from the table to go to the bathroom, I wanted to ask Riley if she wanted to join me but she was busy talking to the guy sitting opposite her. But just as I took a step away from the table, Leo also stood up. I asked, “Where are you going?”“I’ll walk with you.”“Oh, you don’t have to.” I said, feeling embarrassed that he could easily read how I was hesitant and felt a little out of place here which was why I needed company to not look like a lost child.He ignored me and grabbed my hand as he made his way to the left side of the sitting area of the cafe where there was a door that led to a mildly lit corridor and pointed out the washroom for me. He said, “I know that your bodyguards aren't here today, so it’s understandable if you don't feel okay to roam around the unfamiliar place all alone.”I never thought about it in such a way but I guess I was almost carefree at the base level knowing nothing would hurt me, for instance no masked man would materialize out
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 142. We're not in love
Antonio“Sit down and explain yourself before I lose it.” I said to Ephraim as I entered the study after making sure that Elijah knew not to lose sight of her in any way and also to make sure she doesn't see him, if the former happened I’ll make sure he loses his fûcking life.Erica had asked me to stop sending men with her before too, saying that she felt like the odd one out with all the other students gawking at her because of all the men standing guard. But I had ignored her then because I knew most of them probably already knew who she was with, I was one of the men that people recognised on sight and associating with me puts her at risk so it wasn’t just to prevent her from running but also to make sure no one hurts her. And now I wanted to test her out. To know what she’ll do with her new found freedom that I was giving her. Even though it will be an illusion, for her it will be real enough.As I sat behind my desk, I folded my hands and looked at Ephraim. In the past, there ha
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 141. Fûck you, Antonio
Antonio“Antonio...”“Mmm?”“There is this new place that has opened up in downtown that everyone is going to after the classes. Can I go?”“Of course. I told you, you can go anywhere you want to go. I’ll tell Ephraim to take you.” I replied, feeling a smile turn up my lips at the way she asked for my permission.She sat up, slipping out of my hold. And even though it annoyed me, I opened my eyes to look at her. Her flawless back was to me and I couldn't help but trail down my fingers on the curve of her spine and smiled when she shuddered. Without looking at me, she said, “I, actually, don't want him to come with me.”I narrowed my eyes on her back. Grabbing the back of her nape, I pulled her back until she was lying and then I sat up on my elbow to look down at her as I asked, “Are you planning to run away?”She rolled her eyes. She actually rolled her eyes and gave me a smile that made my cock hard, again. She said, “If I wanted to leave, I would've left that night.”It was three n
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 140. I like you, Antonio
AntonioI stood near the windows and looked down at her. Ephraim had given her his jacket that she had wrapped around her to protect herself from the cold. She was looking back at the castle from time to time, and sometimes her gaze would go up to the terrace but she didn't turn to look in the direction of the bedroom which was on her left. And even if she had looked I doubted she would be able to make me out in the darkness of the bedroom.I have no fûcking idea why I said what I said. I didn't know what got into me to let her leave. I just fûcking forced her to go. But when I saw her bandaged hand... I wasn’t lying. Seeing her hurt messes with me in a way I couldn’t explain. It was like going back in the past and seeing all the blood and feeling the pain. Being helpless, that's what it felt like.I wasn't prepared to say any of the things I told her but unlike her I was mature enough to recognise the truth when it smacked me in the face every time I looked at her, kissed her, touche
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 139. Take your freedom, Erica
Erica“What does that mean?” He questioned, his golden brown eyes frowning down at me. “What are you talking about?”I stared at him for a few seconds, if I didn’t know better I would really believe that he has no idea what I was talking about. The way he looked so confused, like he had done nothing wrong, like he didn’t know what I was talking about, like he hadn’t left me in the bed only to be with her. I swallowed against the lump in my throat as I sat up and slipped out of the bed. Sitting there with him so close wouldn’t give me enough strength to keep my anger. But even while I stood and he sat there on the bed, he was almost my height and just as big.“I saw you with her.” It took more effort than it should have to say her name. “Nicole. The way she was touching you. Kissing you. She kissed you...” I couldn't hide the pain as I said those words. And once again the image of her materialized in my mind, the same image that had been haunting me, that had forced me to slam my fist
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 138. Confused and Hurt
EphraimErica pushed past me and walked away to the exit I was pointing out instead of going through the one where Antonio was standing close to. Nicole’s eyes met mine, smug and taunting. She said, “You should go after her before you lose his toy. I heard it’s very expensive.”I took a step closer to her and she sucked in a nervous breath. I had never interacted with her, apart from the times when Antonio needed another set of hands in an act that he put up in the club with her as the submissive for the night. “Stay away from her. If Antonio knew what you just did—”“Save your threats, he already made his.” Her nostrils flared as she looked over my shoulder. “I don’t understand what you see in her. She is not even Italian, also he bought her from an auction, how could you take her side over mine when she’s nothing but his sex slave.” “She is anything but that. Did you see her in chains or kneeling at his feet like you did so often?”Anger flashed in her eyes as she glared at me. H
CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance 137. We've the same bracelet
EricaI woke up sprawled in the middle of the bed with blankets wrapped around me and sun shining through the parted curtains. Gathering my hair to the one side, I sat up and looked around the bedroom. The basket from which I had eaten number of sweet things was still on the bedside table and it reminded me of how Antonio had fed me the baked soft cookies with his own hands while I was curled up in his lap. I took my gaze off the basket to our clothes that were all over the place last night but now we’re folded and placed on the bench near the bathroom door, but there was no sign of Antonio.Deciding to get up and start the day, I slipped out of the bed and made my way to the bathroom. For the first time, I didn't sleep nakéd after sex and still Antonio had taken me in his arms, surrounding me with his big body as we slept. When I came out of the bathroom, I opened the closet door to find a selection of his shirts but there were a few dresses and jeans and tops too. I picked out a bla
