Isla’s POVThe haunting melody of distant music drifted through the walls. I was still lost in thoughts, reeling from the harrowing ordeal I was facing. My mind gradually became numb to the world around me.Amidst the faint strains of music, a sharp clearing of the throat jolted me back to the present. I turned my gaze towards Axel, the orchestrator of my torment, and trust me when I say he was doing a pretty good job.With my eyes fixed on him, I noticed the unnaturally wide grin that adorned his face. It was a smile of triumph, a sadistic satisfaction, I couldn't help but feel a pang of unease at the sight of it. I felt like he had something up his sleeves he was about to unleash. Was he going to ask me do something once again? Or was he planning to shot another man?I didn’t know what to do, I just stared his way, with fear tingling within me.“Eat!” He cooed, and I just stared at him with a feeling of relief washing over me, that was until I heard him speak again.“I hate wh
Isla’s POVI awoken gradually and, as I pulled my heavy eye lids open. I felt a form of panic wash over me. At first, I didn’t react in my panic state, I just laid there staring at the ceiling, then the event that happened earlier replayed in my head.My body jolted, as coldness enveloped me, cradling me in a cocoon of fear— a sensation of heaviness descended upon me.As my eyes scanned my surroundings , I was greeted by the sight of a canopy bed, its elegant drapes cascading down like a waterfall of fabric. It was elegant, a bed fit for a queen. I wondered why Axel had placed me here. Was this one of his plans? That was the only logical explanation to everything.I shifted my gaze to the other side where rays from the Sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a golden glow that danced upon the walls. As I stared at that direction, the vivid display of the man Axel had shot falling to the ground caught clouded my mind. I shut my eyes, my heart pounding rapidly in my ches
Dario’s pov I couldn’t feel Isla’s presence again. I groaned, turning to the path I had came all the way from. It was deserted, I decided to walk backwards , hoping I would feel her presence and get a hold of her scent sadly I didn’t.I was fed up, but I didn’t allow my feelings to take over. I tried to reach Kai and at the call of his name. He responded without hesitation.“I can’t feel her anymore.” I said in a panic tone. “Can you feel Nima?”“I can’t, it’s like there’s a force shielding me from reaching her.”“A force?” I said in a shocking tone.“Yea, a force. It’s like this aura. It’s strange I can’t explain it.”“I know this is crazy talk Kai, but I feel that force might be where Isla is?”“How sure are you?” He said. “A while ago we could feel her and now we can’t. Dario this simply means we are on the wrong path we need to leave.”“We can’t Kai,” I said boldly. “For the past few days, I have doubted myself now. I have a strong belief in this. Could you at-least trust me?

Isla’s POVI laid on the bed, my heart pounding in my chest as I watched the scene unfold before my eyes. The figure who emerged in front of me was Dario. I felt like I was in a dream like nothing I was seeing was real. It felt too good to be true. I blinked only to open it and see Dario. He was actually here.Despite the fact that everything felt like a dream, I couldn’t hide the fact that I felt a sudden wave of calmness the second I set my eyes on him.The minute he looked at me, I saw how he mirrored my exact emotions. He appeared relived to see me. Dario turned his eyes away focusing on Axel whose look of terrified look had grown drastically.The room echoed with the sound of scuffling and grunts as Dario shoved Axel across it. This impact had caused a loud cracking sound which signified that Axel would have broken a bone or two. ‘Serves him right, ‘ I said to myself, with my eyes still placed on them.Dario kept on tossing Axel around like he was some toy, I could see the
Isla’s POV“I’m sorry.” I said breaking the silence. “I’m sorry for troubling you.”I saw the anticipation in Dario’s eyes leave as he stared at me. “You’re sorry.” He repeated his voice rough and vogue. “After running away from home that’s all you have say?”“What do you expect me to say?” His words had aggravated angry emotions in me.“Tell me how stupid your decisions were, because that’s the only explanation for you running off like that.”I scoffed. “So you expected me to stay in that house, and go Insane as I watched the two of you,”I saw a switch in his eyes, but he managed to mask it up quickly. “Stop making excuses.”“So, my emotions are excuses Dario.” My voice came out low. “Well I’m sorry, I’m sorry that I’m not perfect at concealing how I feel like almighty Dario.”“Watch how you talk to me young lady !” He said seemed my words had rattled him. “If I don’t what are you going to do, because you have pretty much hurt me, any new thing you would do, wouldn’t rattle a bo
Isla’s pov“I’m sorry for everything!” Dario said, his voice echoing through the room. I couldn’t believe his words. I peered at him, at that moment I saw his lips unfurl again Dario had more words to say. Maybe Nima was right. “I’m always right!” She said in a cheerful tone. “It feels too good to be true.” I said to her. I didn’t continue talking because I heard Dario clear his throat.I placed my attention him and he still appeared Vulnerable. I wondered why he wasn’t concealing his emotions. It had been so scarred by Dario’s actions that even with his honest and regretful eyes. I was still waiting for him to switch, to walk out on me, to act like everything he said was nothing.“Isla!” He called out. His hands which was perched on mine, left and at that moment he placed them on my hips. Warmth radiated through my body, as he pulled me into his embrace.“I’ve missed you!” He whispered, leaning closer. He stationed his lips at the corner of my neck, at that gesture I felt the h
Isla’s pov“Dario please!” I begged.Dario looked at me, with daring eyes and once again he dug his fingers deep within me, like he was reaching for pleasures I did not know was buried within me. It felt so good and drove me to the edge. I protested for him to stop once again but he kissed me, and I gasped from both the electrifying shock and satisfaction. Then Dario pulled his hands away, taking his lips with him. He was leaning backwards now. I was on the edge at this point and I knew that Dario could sense the feeling of edginess crawling within me. Surprisingly he did not do anything but watch me. If he did this to drive me crazy, it was working, and not in the best way.I was about to protest. I was about to beg him to touch me, because that was what I wanted. Him. I had been starved for so long that having a touch of him made me hungry.In the midst of my raging hunger and need to protest, Dario pulled me back to deeply kiss my lips, my earlobes, and my neck.His hands ran u
