Amelia laid on her bed, her heart pounding with excitement as she thought about the announcement made by Alexander earlier that morning. She was hopeful that he would choose her to accompany him on his business trip, not just because it would be her first time leaving the mansion, but because it could also be her only chance to escape.She was lost in her thoughts and didn't even notice when One entered the room, giving her a daring glare. "What's got you all excited?" One asked, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.Amelia looked at One with a smile, eager to share her excitement. "Can you believe it? Alexander is taking one of us with him on his trip! I hope he chooses me," Eleven said, her eyes sparkling with hope.One laughed and scoffed at her, "You? You really think Alexander would choose someone like you? You're nothing but a weakling who can't even stand up for herself. He'll never choose you."One's words cut deep into her nerves. She had always struggled to assert herself in
The morning of the highly anticipated day finally arrived, and the entire mansion was buzzing with excitement. The ladies, dressed in their finest attire, hurried to the large hall where Alexander was to make his decision. Amelia, who had been feeling nervous about the prospect of being chosen, joined in the commotion.They made their way to the hall, the other ladies chatted happily, discussing their chances of being chosen. Some were already convinced that they would be the one, while others were more hesitant. However, they were all excited for the opportunity to be chosen by Alexander.Amelia walked to the hall with a mixture of anxiety and happiness. She had never felt so alive and hopeful since she was brought into the mansion. As she walked, she couldn't help but notice the grandeur of the hall. The walls were adorned with golden tapestries, and the chandeliers hung from the ceiling with the brightest of light. She felt a pang of envy as she thought about how her life could hav
Amelia was left alone in her room, tears streaming down her face as she sat on the bed with her head in her hands. She had been so close to escaping, to finally being free from the clutches of Alexander and his mansion. But now, her hopes had been dashed and she didn't know what to do.She couldn't stop thinking about the missed opportunity, the chance to get away from this place that had been her prison for too long. She had been filled with hope and excitement when she heard about the business trip, and the possibility of going with Alexander had seemed like the perfect chance to escape. But now, it was all gone… dashed to the floor with no hope of escape in sight.As she sobbed quietly to herself, she heard a gentle knock on the door. She quickly wiped away her tears and composed herself as One walked in.One took one look at Amelia's tear-stained face and scoffed. "Crying like a baby won't change anything," she said, with a sneer. "You should be grateful that I'm looking out for y
Anelia sat on the edge of her bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, while One continued to taunt her with her upcoming trip with Alexander. "I hope you enjoy watching the mansion while we're away," One sneered, a wicked smile on her face.She didn't have the energy to respond to her cruel words. She felt feverish and weak, and all she wanted to do was sleep. She closed her eyes and tried to ignore One's taunts, but they continued to ring in her ears."Just wait until we come back," One continued. "Alexander will see how useless you really are."Amelis bit her lip to keep from crying. She knew she wasn't useless, but she was too weak to argue with One at that moment. She wished she could tell One about her pregnancy, but she knew that would only make things worse.As she tried to drift off to sleep, One's words continued to haunt her. She could hear her laughter echoing through the room, and it made her feel sick to her stomach. She knew she had to find a way to escape the mansion, but
AMELIA POV"Ouch" I groaned, shifting when I felt a very sharp pain seared right through my back. I wondered what that was, but I instantly remembered where I was and immediately muffled by pain-filled groan, not wanting to rat myself out anytime now. The silence was deafening, and the tension very thick.As I lay there in the cramped up boot of the car, I felt so suffocated. It was as if the air had been sucked out of the space, leaving me with nothing but stale air to breathe. I could feel my chest heaving up and down as I struggled to catch my breath, my heart racing as I tried to figure out how I ended up in this situation.The darkness engulfed me, and I couldn't see anything around me. I tried to move my legs, but they were pinned down by something heavy. I didn't want to imagine what it was, but I knew I had to find a way out of here. The thought of being trapped in here for any longer made my skin crawl.As I tried to wriggle out of my constraints, I couldn't help but think ab
ALEXANDER'S POVWhen I reached the location of the meeting, a tall modern infrastructure, I parked the car and stepped and walked over to the passenger side to open the door for One. I unlocked the cuffs, opened the door and then put my hand on One's shoulder. With a swift motion, I removed the blindfold from One's eyes.As the blindfold slipped off, One blinked and rubbed their eyes to adjust to the light. The sudden brightness startled One, and they tried to pull away from me. But, as always, they were weak and unable to resist my grip.I stood there, watching as One took in the sight of my building. It was a massive mansion, with towering walls and a sprawling garden. One could barely see the end of it all. It exuded a symbol of power and dominance.I could see the fear in One's eyes, and I took pleasure in it. The thought of having complete control over someone gave me a sense of satisfaction that nothing else could match. I enjoyed watching One tremble before me, knowing that the
AMELIAMy heart was pounding so loudly in my chest that I could barely hear the footsteps approaching. Panic set in as I realized that I was still inside the trunk of Alexander's car, and he was getting closer. I held my breath, hoping that he wouldn't hear me.As the footsteps grew louder, my fear only intensified. I had never felt so helpless in my life. I could hear the sound of the car keys jingling as he unlocked the car, and I braced myself for the worst.I waited for a moment, trying to calm myself down and regulate my breathing. The thought of being caught in Alexander's trunk was enough to send shivers down my spine. I took a deep breath and slowly released it, trying to dispel my fear.Finally, I opened the trunk slowly, peering out to make sure that the coast was clear. I saw no one around, no sign of Alexander or anyone else for that matter. Still, I was cautious, making sure to be as quiet as possible as I climbed out of the trunk.Once I was out, I took a moment to stead
ALEXANDER POVI walked towards the conference room walking side by side with One, I felt uneasy about what had just happened. My mind was racing, trying to figure out what could have been making that noise in the trunk of my car. I had hoped to check it before meeting with the investors, but the welcome party they had set up for me didn't allow for that.As we entered the conference room, I leaned towards One and whispered, "Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't answer any questions."She looked at me, her eyes reflecting both fear and uncertainty and maybe happiness, "I understand," she whispered back, her voice barely audible.I was irritated by her response. She knew the seriousness of the situation and yet she still had the audacity to speak. But I didn't say anything. I just looked at her with a stern expression, hoping she would understand the gravity of the situation.I nodded and straightened up, putting on my game face. I needed to make sure this deal went through. I needed to
