2022-10-06 05:20:49I suddenly find myself in the woods. It's dark and I can barely see anything. I feel someone touching my shoulder. I turn around and see him.
" Hello my little devil."
I immediately start running and screaming. I know what he'd do to me if he finds me . I'd have no chance in hell.
" Somebody please help me!"I start yelling. I fall to the ground and he grabs.
"No!Let me go!"
I wake up crying in a hospital bed. Enrique is sitting beside me holding me hand.
" It's okay." He says and starts stroking my hair.
I finally calm down and I feel like I can actually breathe again.
" Don't ever scare me like that ." He says
I smile. " I know, I'm sorry."
"As long as you're okay."
" I had a bad dream about my worst fear."
"What's that?" He asks
" I'm afraid that he's gonna hurt me again. I'm afraid that they're gonna hurt me again. I can't stand to go through that again. It was horrible I couldn't sleep or eat for months . I couldn't bare being touched by anyone not even my mother."
" You're safe." He says pulling me into his arms " You're safe with me princess."
I start crying and I have now idea why because for the first time in years I feel like I can breathe, I feel stronger. He's the only one that ever made me feel like this. I still can't doing anything . I can't allow myself to be dependent on him again. I have to become my own strong person by myself.
" I know you need time. I know you're not ready for me yet. You need to overcome this. You need to look him in the eyes and not be afraid. You feel like that's the only way you'll ever be fully confident and strong. That's what you'll do and I will be right there with you."
I look up at him in complete shock.
" How did you know?"
" I know you more than you know yorself." He says
"Do you really think we'll be able to handle him?"
He scoffs. " We've handled him before. He practically ran away.I know we can do this Princess."
"Will I always be your princess?"
" Until you want to be a queen."
" Not just yet." I say as curl up in his arms.
After a few hours of check ups I finally get sent home.
I go straight up to my room to just relax and read a book.
I feel calm and at ease. I decide to call Liv.
" Hey Cher."
" Hey I just think I should warn you that he's back."
"I know. Don't worry we'll take him down together. We always stick together even if we don't see each other for years you'll always be my best friend and we'll always protect each other."
" I know I love you girl."
" I love you too."
I suddenly hear a thud outside my window. I peek out through the window but I don't see anything. I get back onto my bed and I hear it again.
" Hey Liv I'll call you later."
" Sure." She says and we hang up
I hear footsteps behind me and turn around to see my mom approaching me.
" Are you okay honey? What are you looking at?"
I smile softly " Nothing I thought I heard something."
" You must be terrified right now sweety."
" I am but I'll push through this. I have escaped him before, I'm sure I'll do it again."
I say that to her but I don't actually feel that way I'm terrified of him. What he did to me. If he's not the actual devil he's worse.
" I'm fine mom." I reassure her once again.
" We'll always protect you." She says
" I need to protect myself this time. That's what'll make me strong enough to handle a relationship with Enrique."
"He's right there with you." She says and walks out.
My phone goes off again and I nearly fall from being so terrified.
I immediately stop breathing when I read the message.
" Hello my little devil. You can't be scared of your one true love. I'm already so happy to see you again. I have a really big surprise for you just wait and see."
After the message a picture appears of me and Enrique kissing in his office. I start breathing heavily and I can't breath normally. How did he see that ?
I hear the same loud thud again and when I loom out my window it's too dark to see . I turn around and walk to the door because I need some water. I hear my bedroom window open behind me and I stop in my tracks. I turn around and it's him, it's exactly who I thought it would be. Before I can say anything or scream he grabs me and covers my mouth.
" Hello my little devil. Did you really think you can run from me. I'll always find you."
I try to get out of his grip or at least get his hanf off my mouth but it's no use. My body starts to weaken as it all comes rushing back again, the pain and the abuse I had to endure all because he can't leave me or my family alone.
" You're mine and I'll kill anyone who tries to take you away my little devil. If you don't want me I'll have to lock you up until you do."
I find a way to hit him in the stomach with my elbow and I break myself out of his grip. He grabs me once again and I actually feel like it's the end. Then I hear footsteps approaching us and the next moment he's gone. I look to the window and it's still open.
My dad walks in ." What's wrong ? Are you okay?"
I try to get the words out but I can't I immediately just start crying.

“H-he was here.” I finally manage to get out. My dad doesn’t say anything. He closes my window and he goes back downstairs. I sit on the floor looking out the window. My whole body is shaking. A feeling I know all too well. My dad comes back into my room after a while but not long enough for me to completely fall apart.“I have security guards all around the house. They will stay there all night to ensure your safety.” He says. “ All you have to do is sleep peacefully through the night and go to work tomorrow as if nothing happened. I’ll take care of it.”My dad has always been like this. He always does everything when it comes to protecting us but he also expects us to live our lives as if nothing happened while he ‘takes care of it.’But I don’t argue with him.“ Sure dad. Whatever you say.” I add sarcastically which he doesn’t pick up at all. I do my nightly skincare and try to get my mind off of everything before getting into bed.

“Who’s there?” I yell out as I grab the nearest thing I can which is a log for the fireplace. “It’s me Princess. It’s Enrique.” Hearing his voice felt like a relief. I had surely thought that it could be Leandro. I slowly open the door and let him in.He immediately grabs me into his arms.“ Are you okay?”“ I’m fine. I just needed some time to think after finding out my entire life has been a lie.”“I’m sorry.” He says wrapping his arms around me again. In that moment I feel safe like I always do around him.That feeling was short lived as reality came flashing through my mind again.I push him away. “Why didn’t you tell me?” That feeling I had felt, the safety I felt with him was now turned into distrust and betrayal.“ I just found out this morning.” He saysI sigh” It doesn’t matter anyway,my entire life has still been a lie.”I finally look at him his blue eyes filled with sadness.“ Your mom didn’t cheat on your dad.” He says. “ Your parents adopted you but they love you more

I wake up the next morning and I turn to face him but he's gone. I sigh and put on a silk pink robe. I look in the mirror and my hair is messy so I brush it out. It's something I've always done. The only off-putting things about me in the morning has been my messy hair. I go downstairs and find him in the kitchen making breakfast. One thing he's always loved is making food for us. I do think it all comes down to how you were raised. I on the other hand try to stay as far away from a stove as possible, except for when I have no choice but to make something for myself. Around him I've always felt a little inferior because he's not as spoilt as I am. I used to blame everything on my parents until I met Enrique. And our relationship was like a Taylor Swift song. Now it's so complicated I can't begin to define it. He turns around and I realise I've been staring this entire time."Morning." he says as he walks closer to me and kisses my forehead.

My father turns to me and his face softens. “Don’t worry. I won’t let anyone ever hurt you.” I don’t respond and he leaves.

I let out a huge breath and I had no idea that I had been holding my breath the entire time.“Are you okay?” He asks sitting down on the bed next to me. “No!” I exclaim whilst the tears start running down my cheeks. “ I’m scared. I’m scared of what I’ve done.” He pulls me in and holds me tight in his arms while I’m bawling my eyes out. After I while I just stop.

We stop at a big apartment complex building. "Well we're here." he sates. The building looks smaller than most of the ones I see in New York so I assume they live in the penthouse as well. "Do you own this building?" I ask "Yeah. I do." he chuckles " You catch on fast." We take the elevator up to the penthouse. The first thing I notice is to the left I see a girl with long wavy black hair and slightly tanned skin sitting eating what looks like a fruit salad then another older lady dressed in a uniform which tells me she is the housekeeper, approaches us. "Mr Bradley.You're back earlier than usual."she says "Yes this is Cher. We have a situation that needs to be taken care of." he says " Where is my sister?" "I'm here." I hear a womans voice and when I look I see the most gorgeous woman coming down the stairs. She's tall with long scarlet red hair and fair skin. In some way she looks just like him.She walks up right in front of me. "You're pretty." she remarks "This is the first

I've always loved him. I loved him since the day we started talking. He was so nice and sweet but I might've ruined him. The longer we were together the more he darkened. Every time I made him cry we were getting closer to the last until finally it stopped. He just got mad,dark and sometimes violent though he never hit me. Sometimes I wished that he did so that I can feel better about the way I was treating him. I wasn't just spoiled it was quite the opposite. I was hurt and afraid. I was afraid that he'd betray me like they did. A part of me felt like he would never hurt me,but better safe than sorry. I had to leave him so that my fear wouldn't become a reality. I thought I'd never see him again but here I am the morning after a crazy night with him, now I'm on one of my fathers Private Jets on my way back to New York. He's probably woken up by now to see no one laying next to him,knowing that I've left him once again.I finally arrive at my parents huge upper east side apartment. I

Weeks go by and I don't hear from the number again. I completely forget about it as I am completely distracted now that I'm working for my ex who I may or may not have feelings for.It's Monday morning and I am getting ready to go to work. I've been enjoying working with Enrique and sometimes it feels like the old times again.After getting out the shower I do skincare which is washing my face, SPF and moisturizing my face as well as my body.I get dressed in my white body-con dress gold heels, my second favorite gold necklace and a white coat with gold buttons. I put my hair in a bun and start with my makeup. I don't wear a lot of makeup just concealer,highlighter,mascara and a light pink lipgloss.I get my purse that's also white with gold detail.I go outside and my driver is already waiting for me. I get into the car." Morning miss." He says"Morning." I say " Work Tom as always."He nods and we take off. I arrive at the main building and I walk in scan my card on the machine at
