Sin was already waiting when I entered. He was like a king at the end of the table. His unyielding gaze stopped me in my tracks. His tattooed arms were exposed, set in full display as his black shirt sleeves were rolled up. Heat spread through me when he sized me up.
" I hoped you enjoyed your rest, since you slept through yesterday and today."
I didn't bother answering him and took a seat further away from him. Sin looked greatly dissatisfied by this, but didn't say a word.
"You look lovely," he said once more, his voice hoarse and his face cold. I couldn't read his face, but that didn't mean I didn't notice the heat dancing around his black orb, making them darker than ever, if it was even possible.
His stare never wavered. I could feel it burning into my skin even when I refused to meet his gaze. I kept my eyes downcast, staring at the beautiful texture of the table just to avoid looking at him.
" I know you have questions, so I will give you permission to ask. " The nerve of this guy. Who does he think he is?
Since I have been given the opportunity to ask questions, maybe he will tell me why he kidnapped me in the first place.
" Why am I here?" I asked, finally mustering all the courage and strength to look up.
" I thought I answered this question yesterday. It's simple. I want you, which literally makes you mine. " he rumbled, rubbing his chin, lips pulled up in a tiny smile.
" You can't just claim me like I'm some object. I'm a human with rights," I snapped angrily at him.
He didn't respond to that. He sank back into his chair, thick brows knitted together. " Does the room suit your taste, little temptress?" he said, trying to change the subject.
" Since it's no different from a prison cell, I don't see why I should be enjoying the views and getting comfortable."
" You won't lack anything here. You belong to me now and I will ensure you have everything you could ever want. You just need to tell me. "
" Then let me go," I pleaded, trying to get to him. I have been here for two days and he hasn't harmed me in any way, despite what Luca and Zoey said. Maybe I can find a way to reason with him.
The look in his eyes sharpened " anything but that. I'm never letting you go. "
My heart was broken by his words. I held back the tears threatening to fall, not wanting to show any weakness. "Then I need nothing from you."
Silence settled between us, broken by the sound of the maids entering the room with plates of food. Sin didn't bother sparing them, not even a single glance. His eyes never leaving mine.
The delicious smell of food hit my nostrils, making my stomach growl, and I remembered the last time I ate was yesterday morning. I didn't realize I was so hungry, hungry enough to disregard his unwavering gaze. We ate in silence for a while until a thought crossed my mind.
" There is one thing I want from you," I said halfway through the meal. Sin didn't say anything, but I knew he was listening. I felt his eyes on me. " I still have one more week before graduating and I would like to finish what I started. I have worked so hard to get through university and I wasn't planning on giving up when I was almost close to graduating. "
Sin looked up like he was pondering the idea "No," the simple word cut like a knife.
" So much for anything." I spat out, "People will notice I'm gone, especially my best friend since I didn't come home."
" Nobody is looking for you. I sent a message to your friend Stephanie. I told her you wouldn't be around for a while, and that you had to make a last-minute visit to a relative in London".
"She won't believe you. I don't have any relatives in London." I yelled
"Oh!, but she will. Don't tell me you forgot your aunt Sera, your dad's sister, " he replied cockily.
My face drained of colour. I couldn't remember the last time I talked to my aunt. She is my dad's younger sister, and during the time my parents died, she was not financially stable to take me in, though we talk from time to time. I haven't talked to her in almost a year due to our busy schedule, but I can now maybe briefly remember our last conversation, when she informed me of the job she took in London that pays well.
I can't believe I forgot I told Steph about it. How stupid can I be?
"I hate you, I hate you." I screamed, and I tried standing up, but his next words made me sit right down.
" Sit down if you want to see your friends and family again" i gulped " Now, you will stay here, anything you need from your apartment will be brought to you. You will do what I say. Do you understand me."
" I'm not some toy that you can just control, I can make my own decisions and do what ever the hell I want NIKOLAI" I said emphasising more on his name.
His eyes darkened and his jaw clenched tight. He looked so scary and evil. I couldn't help but wonder if I made the wise decision to call him by his name.
I looked at the other side of the table, hoping that I could reach the other side before he got to me, but when I turned, he was right in front of me. I let out a scream and tried to run back, but he quickly wrapped his hands around my neck, bringing me towards him. He held my neck tight but not tight enough that I couldn't breathe.
He leaned down, his eyes level with mine. I held my breath, not knowing what to expect. Sin let out a dark laugh, scaring the shit out of me.
I flinched, closing my eyes when I saw him. His hand was raised up and I couldn't hold back the tears. I felt his hands on my cheek, caressing it softly as he wiped the tears from my face.
" You should eat more, you haven't had anything since yesterday morning," he said calmly before standing up. I let out a shaking breath and peeled my eyes open when I heard the sound of his footsteps leaving the dining room. I stood up, running back upstairs to my room, losing my appetite.
I didn't bother leaving the room the next day. I stayed coiled up in bed, trying hard to avoid Sin after what happened yesterday. I was thankful to Zoey for bringing me breakfast and some books to read. I finally got tired of lying in bed. Zoey brought some clothes for me this morning. So what better way to unwind than with a hot shower? I pulled off my pyjamas and walked into the bathroom. After feeling refreshed and relaxed, I wrapped a towel around my body. I stepped out and walked towards the bed, where I put on my new pair of pyjamas. Just when I was about to unwrap the towel, a very familiar, cold, deep voice made me shriek, and I abruptly turned around to face the intruder. My blue eyes were met with piercing dark eyes. I quickly wrapped my hands around my body as I started to tremble under his gaze. "Impressed," he said in a rough, husky tone as his eyes travelled down and settled on my legs. He was leaning against the wall beside the door. His eyes remained fixed on my leg
The sunlight streamed in through the gaps in my curtains. I had been up for hours just thinking. There was a brief, fleeting moment when everything that had happened within the week vanished from my mind. The moment only lasted a moment before it all came crumbling down. My shoulders shag on their own accord, obviously from being depressed. My mood briefly peaked when the smell of pancakes hit my nostrils. I heaved my body from the bed to the floor, beneath my freezing feet. I sulked my way through the bathroom. I sighed sadly, turning off the tap of the shower before discarding my clothes on the floor. I stepped into the shower. Tomorrow was supposed to be a happy occasion, but I just couldn't feel it. On another note, tomorrow is my graduation and I can't help but feel nervous and scared. I will be taken again by Sin. I felt like I was going to throw up at any moment. I walked back to my bedroom, wearing a white sweatshirt and shorts. I shoved some socks into my feet before saunte
To celebrate my graduation, we decided to have lunch at a very fancy and expensive restaurant.When we stepped in, the hostess was already leading us to a table in the left corner, giving us a perfect view. We got seated and ordered our drinks first, then food. I ordered a chicken salad, Stephanie ordered a shrimp salad, Aunt Sera got soup, and Aunt Amelia and Uncle Carson ordered steaks, saying they were hungry."So Mani, Steph told us, you plan on going for a short vacation. Do you have a place in mind?" Aunt Amelia asked."I still don't know where I'm going; I haven't decided yet. Now that I've graduated, I figured I'd pack up and go on a short trip. You know, enjoy the things I couldn't, even if it's for a short while”. I replied."I understand, dear, and you need it. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to call.” Uncle Carson said, and I nodded in response."Same here, Mani. Keep in touch and visit." My aunt Sera said"I will, aunt Sera. I'm grateful to have you all there fo
My body was utterly and completely drained of energy when I woke up. My head is throbbing, and my eyes are itchy.Although I feel the comfort of the bed on my back, making me want to stretch out my arms so I can get more comfortable, the thing is, I can't move them. I look up, and they are handcuffed to the headboard. I sat up, feeling a soft fabric beneath me, and tried to put the pieces together, but the colour drained from my face. I was caught. I was dumbfounded. I thought I had planned it all well, but I guess not.I'm so stupid, I mentally yell at myself. Of course, he would be two steps ahead of me.I tried to shake the chains back and forth, but that only made my wrists hurt. Thankfully, my legs were not tied.I keep wriggling my hand, the clinks of the headboard against the metal cuffs intensifying."I suggest you stop that, unless you want to hurt yourself by slicing your skin open." A deep voice erupted from the room, urging me to snap my head around and look for the source
His thumb rubbed my clit area and he moved in a circle, increasing my pleasure. I started to pant. I tried to move away from him, but his other hand gripped my waist, preventing me from escaping his touch as he continued to give me pleasure I couldn't deny.Two fingers slipped inside me, and I let out a painful gasp, which turned into a pleasurable moan. I bit down on my lip hard, trying to stop a loud moan.He let out a chuckle. "You say you don't want me, but look how dripping wet you are for me."He removed his fingers from me as his lips attacked my neck, placing wet kisses on it. He slowly made his way down my body and stopped at my stomach, placing kisses on it.He kept on leaving his marks all over my body—his mouth on my nipple while his hand grabbed my left breast, pinching the nipple. He made his way lower, stopping at my core. I sucked in a deep breath, trying to ignore the senses that jolted."Fuck, I love how your body responds to me." He gently blew on my clit, and the s
When I came through again, it was morning. The harsh sun hitting my face did nothing but worsen the headache I was feeling. My eyes shifted around the room, settling on the door to see that it was still locked from the inside. This made me puff out a sigh of relief, knowing Sin wasn’t anywhere in sight.I remained in the same position on the bed, just laying there numb, wondering how my life had turned into such disaster.Why did I have to go through such an ordeal? Why me and not someone else?Wiping the tears that fell down my eyes, I slowly turned my head to the other side of the bed where a table clock rested, seeing that it read 8:30 in the morning.Not that I had anywhere to go. I was trapped here.trapped by that monster. with no idea of what he might do next.Last night was a clear demonstration of how evil he was. He might not have taken me against my will, but heaven knows he was this close to having his way, and the only reason he stopped was because of his sinister plan t
It was noon when I finally came out of my slumber, and just like the morning, I lay in bed, my face towards the window, just staring blankly at it since I had nothing to do and I was scared of leaving the room as I didn’t want to cross paths with Sin. Not that anything was going to stop him if he decided to walk into the room.I let out a sigh and held onto my tummy when it grumbled, alerting me that I hadn’t had anything since last night.My eyes shifted from the window to the door, contemplating whether or not if it was a good idea to leave the room. The more I swirled about the possible danger, the more my tummy growled with hunger.Deciding it was best to get something to eat, I gently rose to my feet, making my way to the door, before coming to a halt and realising that I was still wearing a bathrobe with nothing underneath.I couldn’t go out there like this. I had no idea of the number of people in this house. Letting out yet another defeating sigh, I began making my way back to
As I moved over in bed and buried my face even farther in the pillows, the soft sheets tickled my bare legs. Just another five minutes of rest and sleep were all I needed. My stomach grumbled in protest at this desire, and I moaned before rolling out of the plush warmth.I stumbled over to the door of the restroom and entered. I yawned till the fatigue and dryness in my eyes subsided before pulling my thick hair into a rather sloppy bun on top of my head.Blinking a couple times, I washed the sleep from my eyes before slipping on some really fluffy slippers that also did match my sleepwear that I had put back on. I exited my room and walked down the stairs. I moved mindlessly in the direction I had spent the majority of my day.Zoey has been a source of company and entertainment for the past two days. Sin has been out of sight since the morning after my graduation, and I admit, I did wonder where he was.A part of me couldn’t help but get curious as to where he had been these past two
Samantha and AlexanderI was feeling devastated, and I couldn't help but blame myself for what had happened to Mani. If only I had not gone out this morning, if only I had kept to my routine and brought her meal up to her room like I usually did these past few days, then she wouldn’t have gotten kidnapped. especially not when she was pregnant.No..None of this would have happened if only I had given her the chance to explain when she first pleaded with me. Maybe then we would have figured out who was betraying us, and now we had to work faster at finding her before something bad happened.Sighing, I swing my legs, which were deep inside the pool water, while wiping the tears from my face. I couldn’t remember the last time I had cried this much. Was it those times when I struggled to stay alive as my father carried on with his assault, or the time he...Shaking the thought off my head, I try not to think about the past, knowing it would bring nothing but pain and nightmares."You have
Athena And LorenzoI could be doing anything with the rest of my day, probably watching Netflix and chilling, if I was up for a bit of fun, I could always go clubbing. But that wasn’t the case tonight; instead, I was being prepped for a ball I wished not to attend.Only if there was a way to escape having to attend and watch those pretentious fuckers pretend to get along with each other."Do you really need me there?" I asked, letting out yet another sigh."Of course I do," Bella, my childhood best friend, responded, giving me a pleading look. "I can’t do this by myself; it's torture having to go there and pretend to care. I need you there, Athena.""Why don’t you just skip this year's ball? I’m sure your parents won't mind."Bella sighed exasperatedly. "I wish I could, but my dad is too stubborn to listen to reasons, he is running for a political position and wishes I would accompany him since my brother can’t attend this year. I'm really hating the fact that he had to go on a busine
Luca and StephanieI gulped down my drink and set the glass back on the table. I took a deep breath and then raised my hand to signal the bartender."Another shot," I said.He frowned. "I believe you have had way too much for the night, don’t you think so?"I shook my head quickly, but stopped when it made me feel a bit dizzy."No...pe, another shot."I thought it was wonderful that he continued to display care, but after I patiently waited, he simply groaned and went to get my drink.In the end, his worry wasn't going to help me much. I also knew how to control my alcohol intake while always being the good girl. I was a little tipsy, but not at all intoxicated.After a while, I was certain I had had a little too much to drink, but I still wasn't intoxicated enough.I need to head back to my home; now that Mani is touring the world, the apartment we shared for nearly five years feels empty.It’s been three months since she left, but I still haven’t found a roommate I feel comfortable
Seven years have passed since I got married to Sin and had the twins. My caring, loving husband and our two lovely children make up my existence, yet I still couldn't believe it.I grinned when I thought of the girls. Alexander and Samantha have been married for five years, and a year after their wedding, Giulia, a beautiful baby girl, was born to the couple. Emma, their youngest child, was born two years ago.Luca and Stephanie recently got married, and they are currently on their honeymoon. She was enjoying herself to the fullest. Luca had brought her to Bora Bora, and she had sent a ton of pictures. You can only imagine my delight when she told me that Luca had proposed to her four months prior.While Athena got married to Lorenzo a year before Samantha and Alexander. They have three beautiful boys and a girl. I'm sure you are wondering how this happened.When Sin and Alexander found out about their relationship, it was chaotic. They argue all the time; Sin and Alexander even went
We had woken up ages ago, and did a little bit of morning exercise. If you get what I mean. Right now, we were sitting outside. Well, Sin was sitting on a chair with me on his lap. We were both enjoying the wonderful view of the ocean as well as the fill of the warm air against our skin. Sin kissed my shoulder, bringing my attention to him. He held my head, pulling me to his never ending kisses. I could never get tired of this. He pulled away, smirking at my red stained face."I wonder how the babies are, I miss them already." I say, resting my head on his shoulder."Don't worry about them, they are safe. I know my mom and your aunt will take good care of them. My mom adores her grandchildren a lot, same as your aunt." Sin runs my back softly."I know, but still" Tears formed around my eyes and I blinked a few times, trying to stop them from falling down."Amore, it's only for three weeks then you can see them again. We don't know when we will ever get the chance to spend time alone
"I don't get why you refuse to tell me where we are going. I feel like we have been walking for hours. " i heard Sin chuckled softly, as he kept on leading me to heaven knows where. My eyes were blindfolded, making it hard to know where we were" patient amore. Besides, it's only been three minutes since we got out of the car. "I scoffed." Yeah, but I have been blindfolded throughout the ride.""so impatient, amore. Few more steps Mrs. Violenta."I grinned, liking the fact we were officially married.I squealed when I felt him lift me up bridal style, with the warm weather surrounding me. I felt giddy and couldn't wait for him to take off the blindfold.I felt my feet touch a wooden floor and the cloth wrapped around my eyes slowly coming loose. I gasp at the view of the beach in front, watching the waves move the water. Though it was dark, the moonlight shone on the water, enhancing it beauty and making it more enchanting.It was fucking gorgeous."Welcome to Maldives" Sin says, a s
Today was the day of the wedding. I was finally getting married to Sin. It feels so surreal, like I can't believe it. I was a nervous wreck, and there was nothing I could do to ease my nerves. This was a happy occasion, but at the same time I felt scared. I couldn't wait to call him my husband, and that brought a smile to my face. Right now I was sitting on the bed with Aurelia in my hands, feeding her while I watched her silently. I had already fed Marcello and given him to Sin; he wanted Marcello to dress up with the men.It's been two months and three days since I gave birth to them, and I couldn't be happier looking down at my beautiful baby girl; her blue eyes sparkle just like mine. Her features were like Sin's; she had his long lashes and brows. I knew she was going to grow up into a beautiful girl. I noticed that she was done, so I stood up from the bed, trying to burp her before putting her down on the bed.The door opened, and Samantha, Stephanie, and Athena walked in. "It's
At exactly 9:55 Am and 10:00 Am, Sin and I's baby boy and girl were born. How did l go a full nine months without the doctor noticing I was carrying two babies instead of one.They were beautiful.I was wheeled back to the room while the babies were taken to be cleaned. The rest of the family had gone home earlier to get freshened up, they had no clue yet and I told the doctor not to tell them. I had asked my aunt and Sin to go home and freshen up as well, after a lot of persuasion my aunt agreed to go, wish I could say the same about Sin.This man was filled with all kinds of stubbornness.I heard a soft knock at the door, it opened slowly and I saw Serena, Samantha, Stephanie and Alexander walk in first followed by Athena, Amelia and Carson."Hey. " Serena said in a hushed tone."Where is the baby? " Stephanie asked.Before Sin and I could answer, the door pulled open and a nurse walked in with one baby in her arms. She walked towards me, placing the baby in my hands. I looked down
They all froze for a second till a felt pain in my stomach and the next thing I knew I was yelling out to them, mostly Sin."Don't just freaking sit there, do something".That seemed to have woken them, and everybody stood up from their seat rushing to heaven knows where. Sin was by my side, helping me up from my seat."It's going to be okay Mani, remain calm. How far apart are your contractions." Amelia asked."I'm not sure, but I think 15 minutes apart. " She makes a sound agreeing with me."We need to get her to the hospital so that way we can have more accurate readings" I nod. I took little steps with Sin holding onto my hand."we need to get everything you need, I will text Mateo to bring them to the hospital. " He gave my hand to his mom, bringing out his phone. He typed feverously on his phone.I felt a hand on my chin, making me look away from Sin. It was Serena, she had a smile on her face which made me relax a little bit."follow my lead Mani. " she instructed and nodded. "
