Elena POV

It had been two weeks of being a captive of Alexander Donovan. Everything has been calm, or rather, unproductive.

I tried speaking to Nick for him to help me escape but he wasn't willing to. I begged, cried but nothing was convincing him.

“ Listen Nick, please you have to help me please” I begged, clinging to his left hand “ please”

Tears streamed down my face as I believed I had found hope, but he just kept his head low.

“ Elena, you don't understand, Alex is-”

“ What is there to understand” I shouted, frustrated and angry “ I am your sister, Nick. You barely know Alex better than you know me. We have been together since we were young why won't you just help me.”

He sighed looking at me now “ He's protecting you this way, you just have to calm down”

“ Calm down? You want me to calm down when I was tricked and decieved and now captured against my own will and you're expecting me to calm down”

He opened his mouth as if to say something but decided against it and just mo

    Elena POV“That reason doesn't justify why you would put your wife on house arrest and deprive her of food and water.” She was raging. “ You were protecting her? From what? From yourself because clearly you are the only one endangering her.”She stood up with the help of her cane. At this moment I loved her. I loved the way she made Alex so silent that he just bowed his head low without uttering a word.“ Nana, you don't understand” Alex finally spoke. His voice was low.“Understand? You talk about understanding but all I see here is madness. What happened to having a conversation?" Exactly, she's was telling the truth.Alex never told me why he was chaining me in the name of protecting me. At least I have a right to know what he's trying to save me from.But no, he thought that it was best if he kept me like a slave doing his little charades when he needs me.“ Tell me, child, did he tell you anything about why he kept you?” she turned to me and I shook my head.I could feel Alex's g

    Elena's POV Wait, what?A vacation? No,no, no, no, no!Nothing is going according to my plan anymore. Nana was supposed to tell me I'm free to do whatever I want, not book us a spot at some resort.When she came to that conclusion I felt my stomach knot into a twist. I looked at Alex expectant this time.But he didn't say anything or object to it. Why? Was this his plan all along? Did they plan this in order to sabotage my plan?I paced around the room clearly agitated and nervous about the vacation. Alex on the other hand was just sitting down there staring at his phone.I paused and looked at him. He wasn't even bothered or showing any sign of objections. “ Alex” I called sharply, walking towards him.He didn't even bother looking up.“ You knew about this all along, didn't you?” I asked. “ You knew that Nana would send us to some vacation after all this right?” I interrogated, but he didn't bulge so I snatched his phone away from him.“ You'll look at me and answer-”“ And why sh

    Elena POV Morning soon came and I was all set for one hell of a vacation. Nana stood on the porch all smiles and cheerfully waving at us like this wasn't the worst idea she ever had.“ Have fun my darling and Alex,” she called out, her tone dripping from excitement. “ Make sure you take care of her. I'll be watching you.”Alex smirked, giving her a thumbs up. “ of course, I'll take care of her”I snorted under my breath. Yeah, right. Nick stood awkwardly beside her, his hands shoved in his pocket. I refuse to even glance at him. He hasn't apologized yet. “ Bye, Nana,” I said, forcing a half-hearted smile. “ Bye, sweetheart, call me if you need to set him straight,” she replied, raising her cane. “ Enjoy yourself”Enjoy myself? Was she serious? I was far from enjoying myself now, knowing I would be alone with him for two whole weeks instead of getting my life back on track.I entered the car, followed by Alex, taking over the wheels, and we zoomed off.The ride to the resort felt

    Elena POV “What are you doing out here?” I titled my head back to see Alex, standing with a cardigan and pants. Apparently he must have changed from his formal attire to this when I was deep in thought. “ Nothing that concerns you. Or is it a crime now to come to the balcony?” I asked , folding my hands in front of my chest. “ You didn't have to be rude, I was just asking a harmless question” he responded, and I immediately felt bad for what I said. I was just tired, exhausted, angry and sorry for myself at the same time. Everything just seems too much for me and it makes me question my intelligence and decisions. From that very day Pete had betrayed me, everything had gone wrong in my life. Absolutely everything, and the worst part is that I'm stuck with this him, Alex Donovan, who is very obsessed with keeping me safe. The funniest and worst part of all is that I don't even know why he's keeping me safe or what he's keeping me safe from. He won't tell me even if I asked

    Elena's POV We both looked at each other before rolling my eyes. “ You just had to be a baby” I said, heading to the door and he shrugged.I opened the door to see a blonde bob haired lady in her late 20’s or so, smiling at me. She wore a white t-shirt and black skirt with a green jacket.“ Mrs Donovan?” She asked, still smiling brightly. I nodded smiling back at her. “ You have a reservation this night by 7pm in our restaurant tonight”I looked at Alex raising a question eyebrow at him but he didn't seem to have a clue on what she was saying so I turned back to her and smiled of course.If Alex didn't reserve the table and I obviously didn't, that means it would be no one other than Nana who did.“ Of course we'll be there, thank you” I responded, closing the door shut.I sighed and closed my eyes as I take a deep breath, because I had earlier planned that I wouldn't be stepping out of this room to anywhere throughout our stay here.“ We have a reservation at the evergreen restauran

    Elena POV I took a deep breath calming myself down before sitting down Two cups of coffee and eggs with bacon were served in front of us on a white and emerald plate. “ Did something happen here earlier?” He asked, still clearly curious as to why he found me outside. I didn't want him to know about my life or my failed relationship with Pete or it would make me look more vulnerable, and vulnerability was the last feeling I wanted him to see. I stared down at my plate of bacon , picking up my fork, digging in, completely ignoring his question. I could feel his eyes gorging at my face, searching for any answer but I wasn't ready to give him one. He was the least of my worries now, Pete was on the loose and I was this close to finding him if he didn't interrupt me. I was very sure it was him earlier because I would never forget those back hairlines or his shoulder. Literally everything about him I remember and would never forget so I was very sure it was him.

    ~Elena~ “ You really have to learn how to watch where you're goin miss” I sighed composing myself. “ I'm okay, thank you” , turning to see an unknown but very handsome young man, standing behind me. His black jet hair shining with the aid of the street lamp light and his physique, oh my god, I could tell from the blue flowered shirt that was slightly ajar and he was putting on, that he had a very nice body. At first I was so lost in those beautiful dark eyes that I didn't realise I had been staring at him for a while. I had completely forgotten my frustration. “ Do I have something on my face?” He asked, in a low hoarse tone that made my stomach tingle, bringing me back to reality. “ Uhm.. so sorry I…I ummm…thank you. I'm really sorry” I apologised again, stumbling over my words as I tried to regain my composure. His lips curled up into a faint smirk, and I could tell he was amused by my flustered state. “Don’t worry about it,” he said smoothly, stepping back slightly to gi

As I walked over to her now on the floor sleeping, I noticed my car just a few metres away from where we were.“ What the fuck!”Wait, did she just make me race with her all round just to end up back at the same place?I sighed, gritting my teeth as I looked at the already asleep Elena on the cold concrete floor.“ Come on, let's get you home”I carried her in one lift and soon got to the car and

    Elena POV His phone vibrated in his pocket interrupting him. He turned to pick it up. “ What!?” he exclaimed aloud. “ Listen,” he looked back at me then forward which made me curious because he stepped a foot further from me. I wonder why he always hide himself from everybody like he had some secret that he enclosed and kept away from anyone and it would be hard to pry into his life. The noise of the children and excitement clouded what he was saying on the phone and I couldn't hear anything. A few minutes passed and he was done with this mysterious call. He walked back to me like nothing happened. “ What was it?” I asked as he was now near me. “ It was nothing, just Nick having trouble with the company” he answered. “Okay” I nodded, not wanting it to seem like I'm interested in anything related to him. “ Ok, so, do you want to join me at the bar?” A few drinks wouldn't hurt at all. In fact I needed it to clear my head from everything that had happened in these weeks.

    Elena's POV The line for the rides was long, and Alex stood next to me, hands stuffed in his pockets, looking around like he was trying to figure out what to do with himself.“So,” he said after a while, his tone casual. “When’s the last time you did something like this?”I crossed my arms and looked ahead at the people waiting. “I don’t know. Maybe when I was a kid.”He nodded like that made sense. “Same. My parents didn’t really do amusement parks.”I turned to him, caught off guard by how real he sounded. “And now you’re here? Why?”He shrugged, a small grin forming. “Thought it’d be fun. And maybe you’d like it.”I didn’t know how to respond to that, so I didn’t. We just stood there quietly until it was finally our turn to get on the roller coaster.The attendant checked the harness on me, and we both entered the carbin. The attendant closed the door and the ride started, climbing higher and higher. My heart was in my throat as I stared down at how far up we were going.I glance

    Alex POV “ Hey” I said softly.She looked up at me, her eyes tired for some reason. “ Hey”I walked over, my left hand in my pocket while the other loosened my tie, I gulped, “ Would you like to go out with me?”She blinked, confused. “What?”“To the amusement park,” I said quickly. “Just… a friendly date. We could go on the rides and just have fun. Normal things, nothing more.”She hesitated, biting her lip. “ Why should I do that? ”she asked.“ I just want us to get along well that's all” I said, trying to sound convincing. “ You can't stay at home and not go out. But if you don't want to it's fine”She looked at me for a few seconds as if trying to measure the possible danger if she'd go out with me.“Okay,” she whispered, after what seemed like eternity.“Okay,” I said, smiling a little.It wasn’t much, but it was a start._______________________________________Elena POV I watched Alex as he loosened his tie, looking less like the icy CEO I was used to and more…human.

Lucas, Lucas what if he finds me here, what if he comes to get me and do those stuff he did to me that night. Tears stinging my eyes as I felt my chest become heavy. I need to get out of here, I need to leave this place before he finds me. I rushed to the door, opening it. Two black men in suits, one with dark sunglasses on and the other without one. They both turned to my direction “ Ma’am please get inside” the one with glasses said, approaching me. I stepped back looking at them frantically. Who were they? Are they here to take me back to Lucas? No, I will not surrender to them “ I will not” I shouted rushing past them but his second grabbed me while I struggled to release m

    Elena POV I shifted uncomfortably, trying to stand. “Alex, let me go.”His grip only tightened. “No.”“ Alex let me go” I insisted but he held me firmly on his lap.I couldn't struggle with him for too long. The more I struggled the more my body weakened and his grip on me got stronger.“ No I will not,” he said after I had calmed down a little.“Alex—”“I said no,” he repeated, his tone hardening. “You’re not leaving this spot until you eat something.”I stilled for a moment, catching my breath as the fight drained from my body. His warmth pressed against me, and for reasons I couldn’t explain, the tension in my shoulders began to unravel just slightly.After a few quiet seconds, I heard him sigh, his breath brushing against my neck.“Please,” he muttered, his tone softer this time, but it still held this sharp edge to his word.I swallowed hard, staring at the untouched soup still sitting on the tray.Today, I have heard him mistakenly say sorry and beg me.

That my mouth was clean from his.I didn't care if the lips where he bit was bleeding once again, I just wanted my mouth clean and void from his.I didn't stop there, I took off my clothes taking a sponge and soap making sure to scrub every inch of my body to equally get rid of his touch.Again, I didn't care if I scrubbed my skin too hard till it reddened, everywhere, everything, every memory of last night, I must make sure I had gotten rid of it.And when I was finally satisfied, I bent down letting the cold water from the shower run down my body, washing away every bit of Lucas from my body.Tears fell from my eyes uncontrollably, as I hugged my knees. It was all over. No one was coming to get me, I am safe. No one was coming to get me, no one. I tried reassuring myself. My body shivered due to the long

Yesterday's event played uncontrollably in my head and I feared he was still somewhere in this room, hiding in the corners, looking at me.My eyes wandered around trying to catch sight of Lucas, sweat dripping from my forehead as the door slammed open revealing Alex.“ You're awake” he said, rushing towards me, his eyes wide and frantic.He rushed towards me, kneeling beside the bed. His hands found mine but I shoved them away.“ Don't touch me” I said, my voice cracked, and I couldn't tell if it was fear or anger.“ Elena look at me,” he said softly, cupping my cheeks and turning them to look up at him. “ It's me. You're safe now”I blinked my eyes fast as tears threatened to spill out exhaling sharply. I allowed him to pull me against his chest, sinking into his embrace and didn't want to let go.

I turned my head, my vision still blurry, and there stood Alex, I could see the fury in his face. Those grey eyes, usually so cold and composed, were now filled with rage, pure, unfiltered rage burning that radiates from his entire body.Lucas, startled, took a step back, he's holding on to me loosening and I quickly sat up, leaning on the edge of the couch. Alex didn’t give him a chance to react. He charged forward, grabbing Lucas by the collar and shoving him across the room, sending him crashing into the wall with a sickening thud.“Touch her again, and I swear I’ll make you regret it,” Alex growled, his voice dripping with menace.Lucas coughed, trying to regain his composure when Alex pulled him up again this time pinning him against the wall like his weight was nothing.
