"Are you okay?...I've been calling you for about 5 minutes but it seems like you zoned out" Atlas asked professionally as we were in a meeting. "Yes, I am fine" I answered looking away from him. "Please continue" I nodded to the person who was giving us a presentation.

"Excuse us please" I growled not taking my eyes of Dario's face as I dragged him outside of the room into the back. "Have you lost your mind Dario? What an earth are you talking about?" I quietly shouted at him. Instead of his silly smirks, he gave me a serious expression. "I lost my mind the day my eyes laid on you my love and yes I know what I am talking about. I want to marry you, end of story" he said with a dark tone, our noses now touching each other. "No" I pushed him back. "No... No....no way Dario. You can't do this to me" I said with unshed tears in my eyes. His face softened as he moved closer to me. "If you don't marry me then your parents will force you to marry Atlas and that is something that I will never allow to happen" he stated. "No, they won't. I already spoke to mum and she said she wouldn't do that" I replied

My parents were really happy when they found out about my decision, whereas my brothers weren't. I didn't know why but I felt as if my dad was hiding something from me. Whenever I spoke to him, he would never look into my eyes and talk. He would either look down or would just look away and speak but he never locked eyes with me, like he was ashamed of something."I can't wait to see you dolled up as a bride. I can't believe my dream is coming true" My mother kissed my forehead as she squealed in happiness.

I smiled at that thought, she will look beautiful in this dress.I chuckled to myself as I held the dress in my hands entering her room. I watched her sit next to the window with a blank face, her arms hugging her knees. I decided to take her chains off for today as I now have cameras all over the house. I even have a tracking device on her so I will know where she is if she ever tries to escape me again."Look what I have for you my angel....isn't it gorgeous?" I asked with excitement.

"Sir please...you need to calm down or else it will affect your health" the nurse said. The doctors helped me lay on my bed as I looked down in pain and anger."How...how long have I been here?"

By the way the kids are doing well, they both miss you a lot, Leo doesn't go a day without asking about you" he said making me secretly smile.

I need to contact my family....just one call and it could save my children's life. "Not sleepy?" Atlas asked in his husky voice. I stayed silent, my lips in a straight line.

I heard him sigh as he bent his forehead against mine but I quickly snapped my head to the side feeling disgusted by his touch.
