Who is he? Why did he kidnapped her? What made her so scared of his real identity?
View MoreThe sound of the door opening brought her back to her consciousness. She was laid on a comfy bed. She slowly sat down on the bed. She couldn’t move her body faster because she still felt dizzy. She looked around the place which was unfamiliar to her. She got down from the bed and walked to the window which is on her right side. She couldn’t open it. Then she walked to the door which leads to a bathroom. Except for the bathroom door there is no other door so she thought she only can go out through the bathroom but to her surprise there is no way out through the bathroom only a small ventilation window which was grilled with steel. She was confused and scared, she knew she was kidnapped by someone. But who?
She started to shout out of her lungs.
"Is there anyone here?”
" Please talk, I am so scared to be alone”
She kept shouting for like more than twenty minutes. Still she was inside the bathroom. She heard someone’s footsteps. She rushed into the room and was shocked to see the person in front of her.
“David”
“David, what the heck is this? Why did you kidnap me? Are you pulling some kind of prank?” he didn’t respond but kept staring at her intensively.
“DAVID” she yelled his name out of anger when she didn't get any response.
“Eat this and take some rest, don’t waste your energy because it’s impossible to escape from this place.”
“Did you kidnap me for real? No, you won’t do that. You are a very good friend of ours.”
“I am not anyone’s friend, just be quiet and eat this I will come late”
“No wait, I am scared to be alone”
“You shouldn’t be here if you have kept your distance with that bastard. This is your punishment for being so close to other men. ”
“You mean Zane?”
“He is my b..” he interrupted her.
“I dare you to complete that, you are mine Ayla don’t forget that”
“How do you know that name?” she stammered out of fear, the way he called her name and anger in his eyes told a different story about the man in front of her.
“Eat and rest” he walked to a wall and touched the wall with his right hand. Slowly the wall moved aside and let him out. She understood that the way out to this place is fully in his control. She can’t escape. She felt numb, she walked to the bed and laid on the bed thinking about where everything started..
She was just playing some past events on her mind but we will dig into the full story and find out what happened exactly.
8 months ago...
“Wake up my lazy princess” Evangeline came into Ariana’s room with her favourite Indian tea.
“Mamma please… five minutes,” Ariana spoke in a raspy voice while covering, -in-law so he can look after you then soon I can have a grand -…,” Ariana sat on her bed, instantly leaving her soft comfortable pillow.
“Stop… mamma I said stop. You are so annoying. Never bring that topic, most importantly when waking me up. This topic will ruin my mood the whole day. ,” Eva can tell that Ariana is both hurt and annoyed.
Eva sat near Ariana on her bed and caressed her head. Ariana can see the pain in her mother’s eyes.
“When will you forget that?” Ariana cutoff Eva’s words and said, “Mamma please don’t bring those bitter memories again. I am getting late. I am hungry and can you please make me a dorayaki pancake” she pouted like a small child. Eva smiled at her daughter’s reaction. The thought of her daughter’s past made her eyes shimmered with tears.
Ariana felt heavy-hearted after her mother remembered those sour memories. She wants to cry, but no tears are coming from her eyes. She wanted to scream but her voice died inside her throat. She cannot let out her feelings but to carry them in her heart.
She came out after half an hour when closing the bathroom door. She tilted her head to glance at the metal clock hanging on the wall.’Oh no, I have only one and a half hours. Ria, you are done' she thought, but soon she got dressed as fast as lightning.
She wore a nude pink top with a keyhole neckline paired with olive green flare pants. She has no time left to groom herself so she picked up her hand mirror, comb, foundation, concealer, mascara, eyeliner and Matt lipstick, which are needed for a basic makeup look. She took her backpack and dumped everything, along with her wallet and her old model phone, with no selfie camera. It’s not that she can’t afford to buy a new one, but she is not interested.
She came to the dining hall cum living room, which is right next to her bedroom. She saw her dad seriously reading the newspaper. She greeted him with a beautiful smile.
“Good Morning MR. JONAS.” He tilted his head and greeted her with a grin on his face.
“Good morning my princess”. He watched the time and said with a frown, “You are getting late my dear, you need to hurry.” She nodded her head and ate her breakfast as soon as possible while her mother filled her water bottle and stuffed her medicines in her backpack.
“Honey, don’t forget your medicines,” she said and pecked her forehead and wished her good luck.
Ariana bid bye to their parents and walked to the main road to fetch a taxi. Last night she planned to go by bus but now she has only 45 minutes left for her interview. A taxi stopped, and she hopped in instantly. On the way, she groomed herself to look presentable.
35 minutes later,
Now she is standing in front of a huge tall skyscraper with a name carved as “HUDSON GROUP OF COMPANIES” In black bold capital letters. Small, prickly goosebumps broke out across her arms and stomach, sending a small, cold shiver through her.
' Am I going to work here oh my god’ she lost in her thoughts, it startled her when a hand touched her shoulder blade.
“Hi” there is beautiful girl in front of her greeting with an adorable smile. She stretched her hand for a handshake. Ariana gladly accepted her hand.
"Hi, I am ARIANA JONAS”, “oh nice to meet you MS. JONAS, I am SELENE DAMON, I am here for an interview and I think you are too, aren’t you?” Ariana nodded with a smile.
“MS. JONAS we are getting late let’s get in” Ariana agreed with a nod and said “just call me ARIANA” she nodded with a happy smile.
They were waiting for their names to be called an elegant lady in her early 30s entered the lounge and announced,
“Good morning ladies and gentlemen, those who applied for CEO’s personal assistant should attend the interview on the 10th floor. You people should be there in 15 minutes move right now, and the HR department interview is on the 7th floor at 9.45 a.m. You people have one more hour.” Immediately Ariana bid bye to Selene and rushed to the 10th floor.
There were 5 candidates for CEO’s PA position, 2 men and 3 women, including Ariana. She had never heard a single gossip about HUDSON GROUP OF COMPANIES’ CEO except his appearance as stylish, handsome, hot and sexy with a perfect body, but she hasn’t seen his image even once in her life. Right now, she is super hell nervous about her interview. They were waiting for the past two hours but no one was called for an interview. Others were restless about the delay; on contrary, Ariana is composed, calm and shows no nervousness or agitation.
A lady came towards them and said in a professional tone “Thank you for the patience my ladies and gentlemen, the interview starts now". Interview started, one by one attended the interview. They were excited when going in but coming out with a sad face.
Two boys immediately left after the interview, but those two girls waited for something to know. Based on their closeness, Ariana could say they both were best friends, finally her name called at last,
“Ms. Ariana, please come in”.
She nodded and followed the lady. She entered the cabin after knocking on the door.
“May I come in sir?."
She saw a man in his early 30s sitting on the swivel chair. He has black hair, gold-rimmed glass around a pair of his almond eyes, Sharpe nose and thin lips. Anyone could be easily attracted to him, but not Ariana.
He is Carl black General manager of the company. When he saw Ariana, her beauty mesmerised him. His words died inside his throat, his lips, Tongue and throat dried because of the heat emitting inside his body. After, few minutes he finally realised it was too quiet. Once again, he looked at her face only to find those grey eyes staring back at him with slightly knitted eyebrows.
‘Oh god I got caught’ , he thought to himself. He steadied his body and cleared his throat, pointing to one of the chairs in front of his desk and said, “Please take your seat”. She sat in a chair opposite to his, not before thanking him.
“May I know your name?”
“Ariana.. Ariana Jonas, sir” her voice is like a soothing music to his ears.
“Tell me about yourself Ms. Jonas” he asked her while going through her resume. ‘She was the top student in her university.’ He smiled inwardly at the thought of how good her final exam marks were. ‘She is just 22 years old’.
Selene was dozing off on the sofa when Blake quietly entered the house and noticed the TV was on, assuming that she had slept off while watching the movie.He approached the couch and knelt down so he could see her face more clearly. Upon feeling kisses on her face, she arose and began to blink.“You’ve returned?” In her drowsy tone, she murmured.“Did you have dinner, Princess?”“Yes, I had a dinner on the way home. Did you?”“Yes, I had dinner with Grandpa.”They remained silent for a while, just looking into each other’s eyes.“You seem upset. Are you okay?” Selene spoke While maintaining eye contact and moving her body to sit on the sofa.Blake sat next to her and then put his head on her laps.“I feel terrified in addition to being sad.”“Does Ariana’s father’s death play a role?”“Grandma was the only thing on my mind when I saw his coffin, and I wasn’t sure how I was going to handle it.” “Don’t worry, she’ll live a long life.”Even though Selene was lying, she stated it to mak
“What the hell happened?” Blake told him everything he knows. “By the way where is Ariana?” Blake asked. “At home, she didn’t know these things” “You better tell her bro” “No Blake, she is already devastated, let’s keep it between us. At least not until we find her mom.” “If she find out, you will have to face the storm Zane, it’s better to tell her” Blake advised him but it’s more like a warning. “Blake she… is not in a stable mind right now. I can’t tell her. Not yet.” “Something happened Bro?” Blake whispered after closing the distance. He doesn’t want anyone to hear anything. He nodded and said “Not now we’ll talk later” Zane replied same as him. Blake turned to right and saw doctor running towards the ICU. Immediately Blake alerted Henry and Zane. They waited till doctor come out. “He is in his last minutes. You can see if you want to” doctor said and left. All three of them entered the ICU ward. Colin looked around and finally his eyes were settled on Zane. Even th
Before Selene, Blake awoke, and the sight of her unkempt hair on the pillow and her bare shoulders was fascinating to him.When he emerged to smooch her neck and shoulders, she shuddered and drew closer to him. He continued to stroke other parts of her body. Despite having closed eyes, her body responded to his caresses. She moaned when he started kissing her backside.In order to meet her gaze, he turned to face her. But they were fastened. “Baby, open your eyes” She found it more seductive when he spoke in a raspy voice.Her sleepy eyes slowly opened. He gave her a forehead kiss and said, “Good morning, darling.” “Good morning, my love” The way she addressed him set off butterflies in his stomach. He smiled magnificently with his lips curled upward.He began to offer her moist kisses as shoving his lips onto her throat. “I really need you, Blake,” she murmured when she was at her elastic limit.“You want morning sex, huh?” He asked with a smug grin. He saying that made her crimson
Blake swiftly opened an image from his phone and showed it to him “Was he the person in that picture?”“Yes, he is” Blake froze.‘Atlas is dead for real?’“So, you murdered him?”“Unintentionally, yeah; it wasn’t until the following day that I saw the headlines that I learned he was present in the residence. I didn’t intend to murder him; my goal was to set fire to his house instead.”“Did you see his corpse?”“No, I didn’t dare to go after acknowledging I murdered him.”“Before accomplishing your task, did you by chance wander into the house?”“Yes, I was instructed to acquire a few things before igniting the fire, so I snuck in around midday.”“What did you observe inside?”“Except for one particular area, there was nothing particularly intriguing there. Which, with its
“Are you ready to take me ?” he asked and she noddedShe screamed louder out of pain when he instantly pushed deeper within her. Her pulled out right away, and she was met with his perplexed gaze.She assumed he wasn’t happy with her response. She began explaining hastily.“I… I am sorry, I won’t scream. Sorry for that. It… it really hurts” Her eyes began to well up with tears.He kissed her forehead and then her tears as he leaned in.“Sweetheart, are you… virgin?” She shrugged, stating “No.”He coerced her to look into his eyes by saying, “Don’t lie precious, look at me and tell.”When she caught a glimpse of his gaze, she was unable to deny it.“So why didn’t you enlighten me beforehand?”His brows furrowed as he said, “I would have hurt you.”“I… I don’t want you t
<<mature content ahead>>He was resting on the bed and cutting an apple when she returned. When he spotted that she was wearing that t-shirt, his expression darkened and grew enraged.“REMOVE THAT T SHIRT RIGHT NOW,”Though he didn’t scream, his voice was ominous enough to make her body tremble.“I.. I don’t have a dress” she remarked.“THEN WALK UNTAPPED , YOU CAN’T WEAR THAT, REMOVE NOW”“Please allow me to wear tonight I will wash it for you tomorrow”While advancing towards her, he held the knife he was using to cut the apple. In fear and panic, she paused for a moment. For each stride he took forward, she moved backward.She was confined by him and a wall as he moved quickly. Before leaving the room, he quickly used the knife to literally cut the t-shirt and pulled it out of her body.She was heartbroken and felt degraded. Sh
Considering Blake in great detail, Selene was sitting on her cabin. He dropped her off yesterday at the workplace, but she never saw him. For her pick-up yesterday and drop-off this morning, he deployed four bodyguards.Even worse, he didn’t call her or return home at night. Unconsciously, she continued to linger for a very long time looking at the bracelet he gave her.She was unwilling to leave even though it was time to go home. He wasn’t there, and it made her feel incredibly lonely. She did not experience this when she was living alone in her home because she was aware that no one was there to be with her. She could no longer think as she had in the past.She continued working until 11 p.m. despite everyone abandoning before 7 p.m., but she decided to stop when she felt so exhausted. Her bodyguards were nowhere to be seen when she arrived at the parking lot after gathering her belongings, but she did see a red Ferrari had stopped in front of her.Her heart rate dramatically rose
<<Mature content ahead>>At midnight, Zane returned to the room and discovered her sound asleep. He made his way over to the bed and sat down next to her. He first stroked her cheeks before moving on to her hair.As soon as he touched her, she started to open her eyes.When did you arrive, Zane?“Did you eat something for dinner?”She shook her head in the negative. He immediately went to the phone next to the bed and placed a food order for them.“Where have you been till midnight, Zane?”“I… was down at the club,”“Sorry Baby, I shouldn’t have forced you to talk knowing you weren’t ready” He felt bad for pressuring her.“That’s all right You looked for every opportunity to do so because you wanted to keep me safe.” She stated and she pulled him, she gave him a head kiss.He announced as he headed for the bathroom,
‘Who the heck is Jack?’“Yeah baby, I miss you too”‘Baby?!!! He’s actually trying to be a dead baby soon.“I’m looking forward to that day, love.”“Looking forward to attend his funeral’“Even if there are still four months to Christmas, I am excited.”“Why do you even say that? How am I supposed to celebrate without you?’‘He won’t be there to enjoy Christmas.’“I desperately need you to be here right now.”‘Why the hell you need him here?’“Even if you couldn’t make it here, I would go there because I miss you so much”‘ Over my dead body’“OK, sweetheart, bye”Atlas was raging with frustration. Ayla returned to the sofa and settled next to him. He made every effort to avoid bringing up that Jack, but he was unable to.
