Zoe's Pov..
Tunnnn Tunnn Tunnnn
I opened my eyes to look at the wall. 10 am. Fuck i overslept again.
"Mummaaaaaaaa" i shouted getting out of the bed.
"I am late again." I shouted again. I couldn't get out of the bed because of my blanket. Its wrapped around me.
My mom entered the room with her hands crossed on her chest. "Its weekend. And you graduated few months back." She said.
I froze. Yes, i already graduated, I thought I was late for college. Ohh god. I looked at her with "i am sorry" face.
"Come down, have breakfast. Say goodbye to your brother he is leaving." She ordered.
"Yeah, in a minute" I sat there.
I graduated few months back. Even with 8.6 gpa I always get rejected in the interview. While all other fellow mates have already found the job. My family don't want me to work but i want to.
I got freshened up and climbed down stairs. I saw my elder brother, aarav in garden, shouting on someone. Workaholic. I tip toed to him. This time I will scare him, hahaha...
I was just going to "Boo" him....and he turned around and hugged me. Kissing on my forehead he ushered me away.
He always knows whats in my mind
I entered the dinning room... Papa was reading newspaper when i entered. I took a seat next to him.
"So early my dumbo" teased papa.
"Good morning to you too." I greeted him
"You know she got panicked this morning, she thought that she was again late for college." Chuckled my mom.
"Yeah whatever" I rolled my eyes.
"I am leaving" said aarav entering the room. He is so bossy. He looked at me.
"Zoe, sit properly." He scold me point at my legs. I have a habbit of sitting cross legged.
I immediately sat properly.
"Aarav, I again got rejected in this interview. Do you think someone is interfering?" I asked.
"Improve yourself." He said calmly.
"Can you take me with you?" I asked.
"No its business meeting and I will be back at midnight." He replied.
"Papa take me with you." I requested.
"No, my child. You can hang out with your friends." Replied my dad.
"Yes exactly." Entered crystal. I met her 6 months back. She is really good looking with porcelain skin and raven hairs. "I am borrowing her for one night. Its girls night stay at my home"
"NO" said aarav. Crystal likes aarav but he thinks that crystal is hiding something from us. He also asked me to stay away from her. "And have you heard of knocking?"
"Shhh.. aarav. She is family." Interrupt my mom.
"So then take me with you." I sneered at aarav
"Don't worry, I will drop her off at crystal's place and pick her up." Said my mom looking at aarav.
Aarav looked at crystal for a minute then nodded. Dad approved too.
"Okay then, see you at my place tonight." Chirped crystal and left, after winking at my brother.
Jack's pov..
"I don't care how will you do it, just do it. Your time ends today at midnight. And if not done, then you know the consequences." I shouted on my man. Can't Fucking handle a restrained woman.
My phone rang.
"Hello" i said calmly. Smile creeping on my face.
"Boss. I did as you asked for. She will be there tonight." A girls voice spoke.
"Well done. You are one of my most trusted peoples." I chuckled.
"Boss, can i ask you something?" She hesitated.
"Sure."
"Its been a year now, I am stalking her. Don't you think its too long, generally we kidnap the girl within a week. Is she going in your personal collection?" She asked hesitantly.
I chuckled at her audacity. How can she talk like this about my love.
"Crystal, crystal, crystal."
"I am sorry boss."
"She is MY LOVE. Do take care of her. No one lays hands on her." I warned.
"S-sir. Then there is something you need to know." She hesitated.
"What" i shouted.
"S-she met a guy few days back. It was not a date but she was blushing all the time. I- I thin-" she was choking out of fear.
"Crystal, are you telling me that you failed at your work." I shouted.
"N-Nooo sir. I-i...I "
"I am neglecting your mistake. Now bring that boy. Take care of my love. I am going to mark her tonight." I barked cutting the call.
I walked out of my office and entered my secret room. It was filled with pictures. Pictures of her smiling, pictures of her walking, pictures of her driving, pictures of her swimming...
My anger vanished. I have waited for a year now. I had to clear the mess before bringing you in my world. And now its time. I know everything about you. Everything.
I still remember the first time i saw her. I was in her college to kill.
Kill sam, son of betrayer. Sam's father was my partner but he was selling our secret behind my back.
I entered the hall, and saw her. Her long brown hairs. Her hazel eyes. Her small waist. Her perfect hourglass figure. Her full red lips. Her perfect skin. My anger vanished. I stayed there petrified. Lost in her beauty.
"MINE"
But she was standing with sam. My blood boiling in my veins. She is mine. I made sure sam suffered. I was going to kill him, but now i will make him suffer.

He is still in my underground cell.
Zoe's Pov..
"Bye mom." I said climbing off the car
"Take care baby. And remember the rules." She said.
"Ofcourse, she is under my protection now. You can leave." Said crystal. I didn't knew she was standing behind me.
I entered the house and then my mom take off. Protective.
"You are so late." Complained crystal.
"Sorry i fell asleep." I apologised.
"Come on. Lets get ready. We have to leave." She ushered me in a room
"Leave where? Isn't it sleepover?" I asked.
"We are going to the KING's club." She said handing me a beautiful black dress
"No I can't. You know rules. I can't go out." I handed her the dress back.
"Zoe, you are a big girl now. Don't be a baby. No one will know." Crystal convienced me.
It took her about an hour to convince me. I never lied to my parents. It was like she brain-washed my mind.
"Okay. But we will be back in 2 hours." I said.
"Sure. Now get dressed." She ushered me inside changing room.
I took my time to to get dressed. It was off-shoulder, body-fit jumpsuit with sequin work. I added black heels and wore light makeup.
By the time i got ready, crystal was already dressed in golden bodycone dress with matching heels and red hot lipstick. She looked smoking hot. I felt insecure.
"Lets go now." She pulled me.
Jack's pov...
2 hour late. I have been waiting here for so long. But the thought of touching her for the first time. Holding her for the first time kept me sane. I gulped my 6th drink when I saw crystal enter my club.
I was in my office, from where the whole club was visible but no one can see inside my office.
After few seconds, she entered. She looked devine. Pure angel. In her black dress. Any man would want to have her.
She glanced around. She is observing. I felt myself getting hard. It was hard to control now. I was watching her every move.
She looked around and stopped. Her eyes stop at my office. Exactly the place where I was standing. She felt me. She can't see inside but she felt me.
I was more than happy now...
My love found me.
Zoe's pov..I glance around the club. It was a posh club. It would cosh a fortune. I felt uneasy. I looked around again. Few men were drinking, dance floor was full, flooded with all the rich people. But my eyes rested on a highly tinted glass wall. It felt like someone was staring at me."Crystal, I don't think this is a good idea. I want to leave, please." I requested politely.Crystal hold my hand and pulled me forward.I hissed in pain, her bracelet cut my skin. Few drops of blood fell on the ground.I saw crystal turning pale. She started shivering and looked at the highly tinted glass wall.I was turning to leave when I felt a hand on my back. "Hello beautiful." A man spoke."You are hurt, let me help you." He started cleaning my blood.I smiled at his generosity. He was raised properly.I looked around and crystal was no-where to be seen. The gen
Jack's POV.."Where is my sister?" Shouted aarav, my love's big brother.I walked out of the room with a smirk on my face. And stood face to face. His eyes widened in shock."Boss" he stated."Yes, aarav. Your deadline ends now, 12am." I chuckled."No boss. I-I... My sister...she was in the club." He said in shock."I know." I smiled."Don't hurt her please. Just give me 1 more day, I will surely won't disappoint you, sir please." He pleaded.I chuckled."No your time's up my boy." I said coldly.His hands trembled. He ran towards the room where his sister was sleeping.But couldn't pass me, I was in his way. He ended up getting a sharp punch on his jaw. He punched me back."Now you have pissed me." I shouted.I hold his hand and twisted it slowly. He struggled to get free, pity. I hea
Zoe's POV...We reached home. Aarav asked me to keep my mouth shut about last night. And ushered me to my room. I laid on my bed and thought about last night. Something is definitely missing.I looked myself in the mirror. I looked like a messed. I changed into new pjs after a long shower.I heard yelling from downstairs so I rushed down. I was about to enter the dinning room when i heard"You don't understand, we can't do anything. He is unpredictable." Shouted aarav."We just can't hand over our zoe to him." My dad shouted."You don't know what he is capable of. Just don't let zoe know this. I will talk to her later." Shouted aarav and busted out of the dinning roomI rushed back to my room but he saw me. "What were you doing down here?" He shouted.He dragged me in my room by my arm. "It hurts aarav" i yelled."You don't k
Zoe's pov...I entered the house and was instantly bombarded with questions"Did he harm you?""Are you hurt?""Did he treat you well?"...etcI nodded "yes he was actually gentleman.""Yeah?" My mom started sobbing."Yeah. He is little old-school. He pulled me harshly when I was going to hug amir." I shrugged."Back to your room" shouted aarav as he entered the house."No. I meet this guy and now I am free." I protest."Zoe. Now" shouted papa."NO." I hold my grounds. They cannot ground me like this. What about my freedom?Aarav harshly grabbed my arm and dragged me to my room."Aarav leave me, it hurts." I cried in pain. He is holding me so hard, this will surely leave bruises.He threw me on the bed and locked the room before leaving.I laid there crying. I loc
Zoe's POV..After jack left last night, I laid on my bed thinking about him. The way he touched me, I felt butterflies in my stomach.The way he pulled me, the way he kissed, the way he touched me it all made me feel new. I want more. I want him to touch me. I blushed and dossed off.The next morning I got dressed and hid the bit marks with makeup. I headed downstairs. Aarav was sleeping on the couch. I walked towards him.He was still in his yesterday's clothes hairs ruffled and a plaster on his hand. What happened? I touched his forehead, he was burning.I ran in the kitchen and gabbed some ice water and strips. As i was entering the living room i saw mumma caressing him. He looks so tired.We placed some wet strips on his forehead and he woke up."What is this?" He growled."Goodmorning to you too." I replied. He looked at me wide-eyed, pulled me in his gr
Zoe's pov...I woke up with my head throbbing in pain. Everything was dizzy and revolving around me. I looked around. A room, not my room. It was wooden furnished with black interiors. Intense.Amy came in the room and handed me a pill and juice."Hi drunk head." Said crystal without looking at me . I knitted my eyebrows together, i remember coming to beach and drinking. I looked around. I have been here before, its sam's room."Don't think too hard, You drank vodka last night with beers and ended up swiming for 2 hours, then we dragged you here." Said Amy. She looks fresh as flower."Why do you look so fresh?" I asked."Because i can handle drinks. Now go take a shower and come downstairs for breakfast." She ordered and started walking towards the door."When did crystal came?" I asked. I was not talking to crystal after the stunt she pulled. She came
Jack's pov...I left the house. I know aarav was cooking something vicious in his mind. He won't hurt her, he loves her. But he surely has something in his mind. I walked out of the house, and sat on the passenger seat of my car."Where to, sir." Said Elijah. I shook my head smiling. He drove me to richard's house as he thought this was a trap and i would get hurt. When i came out with zoe, she thought he was the driver. He started driving."She is really sweet, zoe, you smile more now-a-days." Said Elijah. He is working for me for over 2 decades now. He knows me. We practically grew up together. He is like my brother.I looked at him and he continued, "she brought me a gift too" he said pulling a really weird looking thing out from a bag."And what might that be?" I asked frowning. Why would she buy something like this wierd. I haven't figured out what is it.
Zoe's pov.."Good morning" i said shuffling in the bed. Aarav and mumma slept with me last night. I still feel aaravs arm around me."Morning fatso." Replied aarav."Hmmm, I am not fat. Just look at your arm first. Move it, I can't breathe." I said moving away.Aarav lift his arm and got upHe looked like he didn't sleep at all. He spoke in husky voice"Get up now. I am leaving in an hour" he said motioning towards a paper on my night stand."I am not getting out of my bed. It feels so soft." I turned and wrapped the blanket around me.He shuffled me up and handed me the paper. He motioned me to read it.A car will be waiting for you round the corner. I know your secret route. I want you to leave now. Emily will be waiting for you in the car. Don't sit on the seat, just slip in the trunk of the car. Pack your essentials and food.Don't ask an
After the death of Zoe. Jack lost his mind, he was forcefully admitted to mental asylum, where his treatment was monitored.Karma pulled a great toll on him.His own mind started playing games with him. He saw Zoe's face in every memory of the girl he ever tortured.Jack's dream... I hate keeping her underground in the cell. I love her so much. I gave her everything. HOW DARE SHE LEAVE ME? she is my wife. My other half. I know she is afraid but i love killing. I love the sight when my enemy's body drain out of blood. and did everything to keep all this away from her, hidden. she is too kind to understand this.Yet, she saw me killing my own "so called brother". she didn't even gave me a chance to explain myself.She is still unconscious.

Jack's pov... "Zoe? " Shaking her shoulders I tried to wake her up, she didn't buldge."Zoe? I am sorry Zoe. Come back" I call her panicking."ZOE" I shook her aggressively. She didn't move. Her lifeless eyes stare at me.Everything around me seem to stop working. Continuing to shake her. Trying to move her, I tried my best to control my tears."Zoe, please. I am sorry. Please" I plead holding her hand on my chest."I love you" I whisper as tears freely fall from my face.Slowly her hands starts to get cold.I lost her, forever. 2 hours ago... It's been a fortnight now. I
Jack's pov. I saw pain in my Zoe's eyes.Pain when she saw me killing elijah.Pain when I took her to guest room.Pain when she looked at me.Pain when aarav confessed.Pain when her parents confessed.Pain when she realized everything.Elijah won.I tried so hard to hide everything.I gave up so many things for her.I became a better man only for her.All of this only to be burst out together.The pressure she is going through is immense and painful.I can't believe my own brother betrayed me.Yes, I killed him in anger but it hurtsI am hurting too.I never thought that out of all of our enemies he will stab me in the back.I trusted him with my life.
Zoe's pov"Also. Girls were mine. I will bring them back here if you don't behave" Said Kevin finally walking out and closing the door behind him.Jack slowly place me down and remove his hand from my waist.Papa and mumma were still in mansion. I can still go to them. There is no way that they left so early.I ran to the huge wooden double doors. I tried pulling it.No luck."MUMMA.

Blood seeping out of the heart, down the Jack's hand.This is beyond humanity.This is pure evil.I have been engaged to an evil, cruel, and heartless man.I was going to marry this devil disguised in human form."Zoe" I heard him call me again.My body still refuse to work.But my brain on other side, it was going to expose any minute now.The constant waves of chill running down my spine, creeping their way all over my body.We both stood there in shock.

Jack's pov... "I know where sam is" She said ignoring my question.I looked at her in disbelief.Elijah shot her an angry look which made her go cowering behind angel.Kevin hit Elijah in his stomach."Tell us amy, where is sam? " Ask angel politely.Amy looked at Elijah who was coughing and groaning in pain. Kevin hold her head in his palms so that she look him in eyes."You are safe.

Zoe's pov. Carson quickly pulled me out of the room.I saw various bodies laying unconscious on the floor."They are not dead, just unconscious" Carson said."I know that" I replied.He pulled me in a hallway with many locked rooms.Hallway after hallway.Then a staircase.Then a hallway in the right.I thought we were in ware house of some sort but now I am sure we are in a maze.I yanked my hand back from his hand, "how many more hallways?

Jack's pov. "Why? " I ask him coldly.There has to be some reason. What made him go against his own brothers?Our body stiff, ready to pull out our guns any moment."All this could have been avoided Jack" Said Elijah sighing through his nose.I felt the movement behind me, I immediately pulled out the gun and shot behind me.A guard fell down with thud. From the corner of my eyes I saw Kevin doing the same.A group of four guard, almost twice my size, attack me at the same moment, pinning me down.One held my right arm down, the other held my left, the same with my legs.And one hold a gun on my head.Kevin was in same state."I asked you to kill sam, you didn't" He said pointing his index finger at me like a maniac.He started walking inside, towards the lounge area
