I was picked up in one of the men's arms as they walked up the stairs and through a dark hallway. I felt so tired and sleepy, my eyes barely stayed open but I forced them to.It would be too dangerous to sleep around these people.I laid my head down at the indifferent mans shoulder as he took me through hall after hall turning through so many wide doors that I lost count after 13. It was a while later that the man put me down on my feet in front of a woman who was dressed like a maid. She assessed me from head to toe and nodded at the men, who turned around and left quietly. I watched them walk away and as they shut the doors behind themselves, I turned to the lady in front of me.She shocked me by bowing her head."Welcome to the nest, future donna."I stared at her in confusion as she raised her head and held out her hand."I'm Sally and I am going to be responsible for your grooming."I shook my head in response. My mother was the one who would groom me, not a random lady I met after bei
ince I got here, felt the tears run down my cheeks."Will I ever see them again?" I asked.She looked up at me as I hiccuped and tears filled her eyes as well. She looked like she was about to say something but thought better of it and just shook her head"W-Why am I here?"I asked as the woman wiped her eyes before walking over to me and kneeling in front of me while taking a gentle hold of my hands between both of hers."I was brought here under similar conditions, they picked me up randomly one day and when i woke up, I was here ready to be wedded off to the future boss. I was a teen at that time and threw a fit trying to fight all the people off and tell them to take me home. But it made everything worse, I was forcefully married to their boss because he picked me out of all the other girls. But he was a monster, he was merciless, he killed without complaint and he never thought about the consequences.Somehow, he is still alive and because of his experience with me, I'm guessing he aske
Most of my days were spent in wait for his arrival or training. Balance, a bit of exercise so I wouldn't gain extra weight, a controlled diet, and basically being completely and absolutely submissive was exactly what the training was about.The slightest bit of disobedience was responded to rather harshly under the bosses orders. Once when Donna had disobeyed her schedule and snuck in to see me at midnight, I didn't get to see her for the next thirty days and my training was done by Sally, who stood around with a whip in hand.She would flick it through the air and the sound that ripped through the air petrified me. I realized how important it was for me to have Donna as the trainer, How important her presence was, without her, I would probably be whipped, beaten or starved at everything that I did 'wrong'.When Donna had returned, she hadn't visited me for a week and had locked herself away in her room. It was after 7 total days that she had stepped into my room and seen Julian bandaging
"From the way you say it, one can only guess how desperately you want to get away. So, in case you were thinking that, let me warn you. You will not make it out of hereght father will deal with you personally. Or maybe, if he's in a good mood, he might leave you in our capable hands. Julian of course will not have a say in the matnumber of servants lurking around, not only that, but if you get cauter, so he can only sit around and watch as these hungry vultures feed on you."I had frozen at his words, even the chills running through me had stopped as I managed to stay rooted in place. He couldn't possibly mean what I think he did, did he?I glanced at him to be sure and found his eyes trained at me. A serious expression resting on his face as he took in my reaction. My eyes stayed stuck to his green ones, his gaze spoke of things I couldn't even imagine but the same deep dark promise resided under it too. A promise I could not decipher but before I could look deeper into it, he turned
I lowered my gaze without another word, the action making him grasp my chin and tug it upwards to look into my eyes again."What is it that you called me for?"He questioned as I stiffened and shook my head forcing a smile to my face."N-nothing, I was just wondering if we could r-relax like old times."His grip momentarily tightened around my jaw before relaxing again as he drew soothing patterns with his thumb over the place he had pressed."Now why would you lie to me Amrita?"I gulped and shook my head."Amrita."His voice was low and sent a rush of goosebumps flying over my body as the heat in his eyes seemed to prick my skin."...I..."I trailed off and he used his hand to make our eyes meet yet again after I had turned them away."Neither of us has ever... done a-anything like what the book says." he said.I watched as the ghost of a soft smile danced on his lips."Trust me baby, I would've done so much more had it not been for the fact that I didn't want you running away." he said.I swallow
"We have exactly two hours, get to work."Sally ordered from somewhere in the room and was quickly led to a chair as well. Much to her dismay. Donna was also seated wrapped up in a robe and the lady with her, was setting up all of her makeup tools onto the desk before her.My desk was already set up and with a lot more products than the ones on the others. Two ladies stepped up to me one of them busying herself into the wet nest called my hair and the other one plugging in the hair dryer. She also took out pins and set them up along with combs and brushes of all sizes. Some colored bands and decorated pins also took up the space before me as the woman standing behind me, dried my hair.As soon as it was dry, she let me go putters and how father had wanted to walk me down the aisle.I pushed back the urge to cry and sat on a near by chair for a while. Luckily no one interrupted me and I got enough time to catch my bearings and stepped back into the dressing room. There were awes and gasps f
"I was your escort, you're on your own now."With that, he walked away. I gulped as my eyes met that of everyone in the rooms, all of them prompting me to go on. Clutching the bouquet to my chest, I met the familiar pair of silver eyes. Call it instinct but at that moment I began moving, because I knew that I would be the safest once I was beside him.His face was blank as his eyes followed me, I knew from that fact that this was a dangerous event. We were nearly to the end of the territory and even when heavily guarded, there were chances of us being attacked.There wasn't even a priest that stood beside Julian, instead it was his own father. As soon as I had reached Julian, the man decided to speak up."Welcome your new Boss and Donna!"Several shouts echoed around the room along with loud chants of 'long live the boss and Donna'.Julian raised his hand and the people silenced themselves immediately. I felt his arm coil around my waist and pull me closer."Those who have already pledged, ar
"What's in there?"I questioned and he finally turned his head to look where I was pointing. I frowned as he grimaced and stiffened, before relaxing as a lazy smirk took over his features."You sure you're strong enough to handle what's in there, princess?" he asked.I nodded eagerly, of course I was strong enough, or at least I hoped I was. But no amount of hoping or praying could have readied me for what I saw.Blood drained from my face as I stared at the massive room in front of me, my mouth agape as I swallowed back the scream threatening to come through.Young girls... They all looked so young, not even in their teens. All of them were buried in the walls.I stood frozen as the doors slammed shut behind me, my eyes focused on all the- dead- female children in the room. Their horrified impressions printing themselves into my memory, sad faces with tears streaming down their cheeks. Mouths parted to scream, screams that were now forever silenced.All of them had boards carved right beneat

Blaire was two years younger than me and had cravings that were quite similar to mine during my pregnancy with Nick, she had dubbed our house her home since she would practically get everything she needed here. Food, a distraction for the children, an older brother like Julian and an older sister like me. Her words had touched my heart and I had nearly cried but Julian had kept a strong hold on me during the whole confession.I had been munching on chocolate banana treats during my pregnancy with Adriana but my mother wasn't having any of it. 'being unproductive and eating sweets, do you want to put on weight?' were her exact words and then she had resorted to doing exercises dubbed safe for pregnant women with me.Donna and Blaire had joined in and Nick and Amlian enjoyed doing them as well. So more than half the time, keeping me fit was a family activity. It did pay off in the end though, after a good month of safely delivering my baby girl, mother had started up my exercises once a
I watched as Amlian did a quick sweep of his left and right before inserting the key in and turning it, a soft click followed. Amlian hesitated, before turning around and looking at Nick, who was also in the middle of nervously shifting from foot to foot."I don't think we should do this."Nick nodded quickly to his older Brother's statement and pointed to the door that had slowly parted. The afternoon sun lit up Julian's study and in all honesty, I snuck in more often than not.I stifled a laugh when I realized what the two of them would have had to do to get the keys from Edwards coat. Since it was December, a thick cover of ice had consumed our city. Making the temperature drop to 2-5 degree celcius, during the day! Another reason why everyone was tucked in warm clothes and long coats. Edward had to take off his coat upon entering since the central heating system had kept our house temperature normal. Julian had it upgraded a few years back, for the sake of our children and to avoi
They had recently adopted a 5 year old from what I had heard and experienced, it was a girl and she was extremely shy. Donna told me that she had been through a rough patch in her last foster home and was still learning to talk to people. I thought she was cute when they showed me a picture of the girl.She had swollen eyes though and a very skinny body, from what I could tell, she was sleep and food deprived. Ryan-Donna's husband- was scared at first, afraid that since he had hit 45 the child would be hard to keep up with but after he had learned of her past he gladly took her in. So far, the two of them and I were the only people that little Ellen had even said a word to. The only thing she said to me was 'hi' but that was enough to reassure me that the child would be fine.The knock on the door pulled me away from Julian's arms and towards the door."Boy what are you doing with your life? Still single?!""Absurd! Are you sure you're not gay?" I giggled to myself as I heard Ryan and
A month later:"So how was it?" I asked.Me and Donna were seated at the couch, watching a new k-drama and fawning over the beautiful people together, while my husband, brother-in-law, father and mother went to interrogate their captive. From what Julian had clarified for me, the man was his fathers right hand, someone his father had entrusted a lot to.There was some tension between Julian and Edward, it had confused me at the beginning but then I had learned that it was because that man had been the father figure in their life. Someone who had, in a sense taken up the role of leading male for them."What do you all want to eat?" I asked.We couldn't order anything since the location of the safe house had to be kept secret and that was depressing. There was a bit of complaining at the beginning but then we just settled for cooking for the employed people of our little group.I smiled at them as my father and Julian talked about something which seemed too intense for me to keep up with and
It was approaching mid night, during the rest of the day we had moved to another safe house, I was in the same car as my parents after Julian reluctantly let Donna drag him away. It was a full on tear fest that we sat through, my father was the most shaken one. He apologized so many times for letting me leave on my own, going as far as to call himself a terrible parent.I had to remind them of what they always told me, which was that every human makes mistakes. That just resulted in dad complaining about no one else being that stupid. After mom and I had managed to calm him down, they relayed the whole story to me.I had known before hand that my parents were involved with the police in the earlier stages of their lives but as far as I knew, they had dropped the profession once I was born. After me being taken away, they took it upon themselves to personally track me down. No matter how long it took.After six hopeless years of relentless searching, on a stormy evening, they were approac
Edward's orders as he had demanded, getting closer and closer to the main door.As we drew nearer, the danger increased and Edward took longer to call for us. He and his companion Lee had to shoot a few men down while we would stay hidden inside the human shield formed around us that would tighten at any sign of danger."Simone!"At Edward's shout, the man to my left ran after him quietly but nonetheless as quick as a bunny. His movements were smooth as he stopped at the corner and glanced around it before cocking his gun and taking a few shots.We waited calmly as a few groans echoed around us and he crossed the hall. A few moments later, Lee- the man who had previously been assisting Edward- returned and occupied Simone's spot. Looking exhausted and injured as he did so. From his tight hold around his own waist I could only guess that he had been shot or stabbed. The men didn't give it much thought and soon we were moving again.Regardless of his injury, Lee looked on-guard, keeping just
Julian had rushed out despite me trying to hold him back, instead he had just kissed me, wiped away my tears and pressed his forehead against mine before promising that everything was going to be perfectly fine.Edward had rushed Donna and Sally into the room soon after, handing me my gun and the bullets before nodding at the three of us and closing the door behind himself.We sat in silence, jolting as a scream or gunshot rang too close to the room. We could hear sounds from outside the window and the door. The window was covered by a thick curtain to keep anyone from even getting a glance at the inside while the light was closed so no one would become suspicious of the room.It was still cold as we sat in frozen fear, hearts thumping wildly in our chests as shadows passed from beneath the door. Edward hadn't locked it because if it was locked, the enemy would undoubtedly figure out why and we would be in even greater danger than what we were in now.When the door to a nearby room slammed
True that he was old enough to not have his cheeks kissed as greeting but Donna had resisted the stupid universal rule by reminding him of all the pain a mother has to go through to give birth to a kid and watch that kid grow up and become distant hurts her tremendously.Mastering the arts of emotional blackmail, she managed to have my husband sit down with her for a good few hours everyday and talk with him about the most random stuff... after greeting him with kisses on the cheeks.It would drain him tremendously, to sit still and listen but he did it for the sake of his mother. Once Donna realized that Julian had a hard time focusing during their little chats, she had me brought in to distract him further.Me and Donna would chat then and Julian would snuggle into my neck, holding me on his lap, my back against his chest as he breathed me in. Sometimes, if he felt extra naughty, he'd do something unexpected, like kissing my neck or biting down on the sensitive spots. He was well hidden
