(Bright’s POV)My face heated up as I replayed Cole’s question in my head. He’s smirking at me like he knows exactly what I’m thinking, and it’s infuriating. How could he ask me that kind of question?This idiot must be enjoying this a lot.I cleared my throat, determined to change the subject.“So... if this isn’t a dream, where are we?” I asked, changing the subject.I was trying to sound casual like I didn't just turn into a tomato for a moment. Honestly, I think I already know the answer, but I’m still trying to convince myself that nothing of this is real. I just can’t get enough of the fact that I am here standing in front of Cole in a paradise-like place. And it only means one thing! I am his hostage on this lone island.Cole leaned back in his chair, his smirk softening into something almost lazy. It’s like he’s getting tired of me asking him the same stupid question. Well, what am I supposed to do? “I already told you. You’re in my territory.”I

(Bright’s POV)Being served like a princess wasn’t exactly how I pictured being abducted feels like. The first thing that came to my mind as soon as I found out that a notorious serial killer took me with him—after causing a ruckus inside the maximum security prison where he’s supposed to stay forever—is that I’m going to die in his freaking hands.Cole is unpredictable. I’m trying to use all possible psychology that could explain how he behaves a certain way, but I just don’t understand why he does things he does.Like right now…I bet he spent a lot of money paying these people who made me look like I was born to live as a royalty.I glanced at my reflection in the mirror.“This suit must have cost a fortune,” I mumbled to myself.

I turned to look at him. It’s Jerry

(Bright’s POV)I blinked at them.Wait… What did he say? I’m not sure I heard him right. “Fiancée?” I repeated his voice inside my head.Cole didn’t even bother to pay me attention to give me some sort of enlightenment. Like what the hell is he talking about? Me? His fiancée? I didn't sign up for that.As much as I wanted to call his attention, his focus is entirely on the two men staring at him like he’s lost his mind.I think they're what we should be more worried about. They don't even have to say a word for me to know that they don't like what he just said to them. They widened their eyes like it’s the most ridiculous thing they’ve heard.*BLAAAGG!*The older man slammed his hand on the table, making me jump. “What nonsense is this, Cole? Have you completely lost your mind?!”Cole looked at him nonchalantly.“I’m not asking for your approval,” he said flatly.Bryan leaned back in his chair, a smirk tugging at his lips. He looked so amused.
