Chapter -3

ENZO POV:-

"Your time ends now little mouse" I said while picking a butcher knife

Her eyes were red from crying, her face wet from tears begging me not to kill her but I am helpless, a contract came and I agreed to it , but I enjoy this, seeing them begging me for there life makes me feel powerful, the red liquid pouring out of the body feels like my trophy

"Please p-please don't" she cried her heart out trying hard to make me pity her but I was enjoying it

"Sorry birdie, have a great time there" I said and sliced her neck in one swift motion, blood spilling out falling on my black shirt

"Clean it up" I ordered my mens while cleaning the knife I used to cut her neck, a sudden calmness engulfing me

"Sir the other girl is here" another of my men spoke

"Get her to the other room, I will finish her" I said while taking my watch from the table

After a while I went to the dim lighted room, the only light was falling over the girl, my prey

There was loads of tools decorated on the left side of her,knife of all types, axe, screw and much more torture equipments, she was tied on a wooden chair , her hands tied on either of the hand rest and both legs tied to either leg of the chair

I ordered my men to contact the contractor who wanted to kill the other girl is done, I took a knife and started to walk around the girl infront slowly, scarring her like a predator

She finally had her consciousness and was shivering, I smirked seeing it, but also admired her braveness as she didn't whimper or didn't even beg, her scent felt familiar but I ignored it , I started to make cuts on her arms and legs, she hissed everytime I did it

"You should see the artworks I have done little mouse" I said while pulling the black cloth out of her head, revealing her face

My eyes widened seeing her, she looked at me shocked, her face paler than usual, glistening with tears , nose and eyes red from all the crying

"WHAT THE FUCK IS SHE DOING HERE!?" I yelled at my mens

My eyes getting red from anger, I feel the veins on my temple popping , my hand curled in a fist

My mens who were in charge of kidnapping the girl came in

"S-sir she is the girl" he spoke looking scared

"She is the girl?" I asked calmly, laughing I called for my right hand man, who have all the pictures of the people we are supposed to kill

"Luca show them the picture" I said while caressing my temple trying to control myself

He handed them the picture and there eyes widened from realisation which instantly transformed into fear

"W-we are s-sorry boss, please forgive us" they pleaded in unison, bowing there head from fear

"Forgive? Say that in hell" I said quietly and immediately shot all of them in there skull

She flinched seeing this gruesome scene

"N-no p-please don't do anything to me, p-please" she begged me with teary eyes, trying hard to free her hands from the rope, tears constantly falling from her olive green eyes

"No no darling I will not do anything to you" I said while cupping her face, she flinched when I came near, I was hurt but I understood why she did that

She looked at me with teary eyes

"W-why am I here?"

"It was a mistake from our end darling, we got the wrong person and that is why you are here" I said calmly while wiping her tears

I proceeded to open the ropes on her hand and legs, seeing the cuts gave me a ting of guiltiness, I hurt her

"T-then let me go please, I swear I won't say anything to anyone" she pleaded me, looking at all my actions

My jaw clenched when I heard her saying to leave her, I cannot do it, the moment I saw her I knew I had to keep her to me and I cannot let this opportunity to slide

"I cannot bella, you are here and now you cannot leave, no one did" I said while freeing her wrist, she immediately started to rub it, I am sure it will leave a bruise on it

The ropes left bruises on both her wrist and ankles, it angered me once again, death was easy for the mens who took her here, I should have torture them to death

"B-but why? What have I done? I don't even know you"

"I know but you have already done a mistake coming here and now you are mine, you escaped last time but I cannot let you go now bella, you will stay with me until I want you to" I said while freeing the last rope

More tears started to stream down from her eyes

I smirked knowing what is coming in the future, this meeting....

It is getting more interesting amor mio

ALORA POV:-

After our conversation he again put a black cloth on my eyes, this time it only covered my eyes

I felt someone sliding their arm under my thighs waist, I started to struggle not knowing the person

"Relax birdie I will not hurt you, you cannot walk properly right now"

His familiar voice relaxed me a bit but I was still uncomfortable, he took me bridal style and I felt him taking me somewhere

I felt a soft material underneath me when he made me seat gently what seems to be a car, the smell of air condition was familiar, I heard a door getting shut, it is a car

But where is he taking me? What if he take advantage of me? I can't I am getting more scared every minute he comes close, he is huge than me and more stronger, I cannot even fight him if he does anything

Mom,dad, brother Nevan, I miss you a lot ,I felt tears glistening my eyes

No no I cannot cry, I need to be strong, he will know I am weak if he sees me crying, I atleast need to act strong if I want to survive, I blinked the tears away and sat still

After a while I hear the car stop and the car door being open and closed again, the door on my side opened and I felt him taking my hand on his and helping me get out

After getting out he pulled the cloth which was on my eyes, restraining my visions

I blinked sometimes to clear my vision, I gasped internally when I saw a huge mansion infront

It was huge, there was a water fountain in the middle of the foyer. The garden on either side of the entrance was full of fresh flowers. The whole mansion screamed intimidation by the dark vibes it had.

He took me inside the mansion which was more luxurious than the exterior. Everything here screamed power and luxury. I was having bad vibes from here

The mansion had a dark vibes in it even though the interior was brightly lighted

A stair case was just infront of the entrance. It had golden and black coloured linings

We climbed the stairs and he took me to a room, a bedroom to be precise

"Wait here" he said and left not before locking the door

I finally let go of the air I didn't know I was holding in till now. I finally got some alone time. I walked on the room and went to open a door inside the room which seemed like a bathroom, it was huge itself, designed with marble tiles and a white bathtub on the middle , I cannot deny I love the bathroom, I looked at the mirror and gasped

I look like hell. My face red and stained with tears, my eyes puffy from all the crying, the white tank top I wore is sticking with sweat, my bra slightly visible, shit! And I let him see me like that

My eyes trailed to the cuts on my arms and legs, it had dry blood on it, while I was focusing on the cuts a knock came on the bathroom door

I slowly opened the door and pecked my head

I saw him standing infront the bathroom door with some clothes in his hand, He handed me the clothes before speaking

"Get changed into this and come outside" he ordered with his deep dangerous voice

I reluctantly took the clothes and closed the door,locking it, I don't trust him

I checked the whole bathroom if it has cameras or not before taking a shower, I cannot take risk, specially not on someone elses house

The warm water immediately relaxing my muscles, although it hurts like hell when the water made contact with my skin but I ignored the pain

Luckily the bathroom had all the supplies for shower, I washed my hair and scrubbed my skin

After taking a warm shower, I changed into a red t-shirt and a grey sweat pant that he gave me, it seemed like his clothes, it is too big for me, the t-shirt itself came upto my upper knees , the sweatpants was not staying on my hips no matter how hard I tried

I opened the door a bit peeking my head out, I saw him sitting on the king size bed typing on his phone

"Um excuse me" I spoke quietly but enough for him to hear

He looked up at me after hearing my voice

"Ah...the sweatpants that you gave me are too big for me, they are not fitting no matter how hard I tried" I said emberassed a bit

He sighed before getting up

"Wait here, I will bring something else"

I nodded and closed the door, after awhile I hear a knock came and I opened it slightly taking the change of cloth from his hand and immediately shut the door locking it

I changed into the boxers he gave me and went out of the bathroom ,I feel much relaxed after taking a shower

"Come here" he said while Patting the seat next to him

I hesitantly went and took a seat there, he opened the first aid kit and started to bandage the wounds on my arm

"Um mister? Is this your house?" Shit what a stupid question to ask Alora, of course it is his house, he cannot bring you to someone else's house after kidnapping you and be that casual right

"Call me Enzo" he said looking at my wound

"Uh Okay"

"And yes this is my house" I nodded at his answer and kept quiet

"What is your name?" He asked looking at me

"A-alora" I said looking down, not being able to meet his intense eyes

"Dream" he mumbled underneath his breath

"Hm?" I asked not being able to understand what he meant

"Nothing" he said while closing the box

"Come downstairs after a bit for dinner" he said while taking the box along with him

After he left I went to the balcony on the room and cried my heart out, the view was beautiful and the wind relaxed me ,making me force my emotions out

After awhile I composed myself and decided to step out

I went outside and saw the corridor empty, I tiptoed towards the stairs and slowly went down, the front door was closed, some maids cleaning the vases beside it

"Come here" I heard Enzo speak from the living room

I followed him towards another room, it was the dining room, the table was for atleast 9 people, it was full of different types of food, he made me seat beside him and he sat on the middle chair of the dining table

"Eat something"

"I am not hungry" which was partially true. I lost my appetite a long time ago from all the things going around me

"I didn't ask, eat" he ordered again deepening his voice

"And I said I am not hungry. Now let me go " I saw him clench his jaw fisting his hand

"Come.here" he ordered gesturing me with his hand

Confused I frowned upon his order, tilting my head, still not getting up

" I said come here. I don't like repeating" he ordered calmly getting more angry

I reluctantly got up and went near him. He immediately grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards him. He made me sit on his lap grabbing my waist tightly. I struggled to get out of his hold

"Stop before you don't want me to punish you" he said deepening his voice. Although I didn't understood what he meant by punishment but I stopped struggling. It won't be good and I know it's futile to throw tantrums.

He fed me some food no matter how much I wanted to avoid it. After dinner he took me towards my room

"You will stay here for tonight, tommorow you will be shifted somewhere else, goodnight birdie" he left after locking the door, smirking

I flopped on the soft bed sighing. Sleep immediately engulfing me. I was too much tired from all the shits that happened today

-----------------------

It has already been two weeks since I have been staying here. I have been shifted to another room. It is much bigger than the past one. Inside the room it has 2 doors, one is for the bathroom which has a huge tub with black marble tiles and another one is the walk-in closet, it was filled with clothes and accessories, there is also a vanity dressing table on the closet area full of makeup and accessories.

I was scared a bit after seeing the closet area, all the clothes were just my size. From the undergarments to everything. Even the shoes fit perfectly

Till now he hasn't done anything to me. But I have seen his cruelty and I cannot help but stay alert all the time. I feel on edge every time he is near me.

"You are ready to go miss" the maid spoke happily

"Thank you Jennifer, but you know you can call me Alora" I said for the 100th time. I have been saying that since I met her but she still called me miss

"I am sorry but I cannot. Masters order" again this thing. I sighed. Everyone here is like a robot. Only doing whatever the master orders.

Jennifer is a maid in this mansion. She is 18 right now. She has beautiful honey eyes and long brunette hair. She is like a friend to me in this whole mansion. I don't know what I would have done if she wasn't there for me

I looked at the mirror and saw my reflection. I looked like a doll getting dressed , no emotions showing in my eyes

I wore a off white summer dress with pink floral design all over. It was square necked with short puffy sleeves. Jennifer half tied my hair braiding it in two parts

"Master is waiting for you downstairs for breakfast" she said smiling while leaving the room

I got up and left the room, descending the stairs always made my heartbeat quicken, because I know I will again meet that sick bastard

Last time he killed a maid because she accidentally spilled hot tea on my hand making it bruised , he shot her right infront of me, twice, that night I cried myself to sleep

I hesitantly got into the dinning room, he was sitting on his usual seat, I took a seat on his left side

"You are looking beautiful my princess" he said while kissing the back of my hand

"Thank you" I replied meekly

He suddenly pulled me in his lap, inhaling my scent , he always does that specially when he is angry or is about to leave the mansion, which he rarely does

Is he a dog? Why does he always sniff me?

"You smell amazing as always amor mio, it makes me want to do things you cannot even imagine"

I shifted uncomfortably on his lap, he placed both of his hand on my hips, stopping my movement

"Don't, I won't do anything just sit still"

I stopped and looked down at my lap, the maids served our breakfast ,all the way he was still inhaling my scent on the crook of my neck

I blushed when the maids came to serve breakfast, I still cannot get used to this, it feels so emberassing when he does things like that all infront of the maids and the bodyguard

"Let's have breakfast" I nodded and started to eat

"Um... Enzo, can I ask for something?" I asked while playing with the fork on my hand

"Sure Bella" he said while having a bite of his omlette

"Can I go to the garden today please? I am bored inside the house" I said whining slightly.

There was a bit of silence before he answered my question, I was so nervous at the moment that my hands started to sweat

" Why not, the garden is yours Bella" he said making me smile but that soon faltered when he added the next line

"But I will go with you" I didn't ask any further questions later because I know it will be useless, I just nodded and started to eat

After having breakfast Enzo went outside saying he has some work to finish, he promised to take me to the garden after lunch and I nodded

"I will come soon birdie, wait for me okay" he said while giving a kiss on my forehead

I nodded and waved bye to him, after that I went to the library that he introduced to me some days ago. I was baffled by the huge collection of book he has. It is my most favourite place of this whole mansion. This is the only way through which I can get an escape from this hell whole. Where I have to walk on egg shells all day

While reading I didn't even realised when it became lunch time, I had my lunch quietly. Luckily Enzo wasn't here so it was good

Shortly after lunch Enzo came home and changed into his comfortable wear not before giving another kiss on my cheeks, we went to the garden after that, fresh air immediately engulfed me, I took a deep breath calming my nerves

The garden was full of fresh flowers, it was huge full of roses, daisies, peony, lilac and much more flowers, there is a huge tree on one corner of the garden, Enzo went there and rested there by leaning on the tree, watching me play with the dogs

He had two Doberman. I was scared of them at first but later we became friends. We used to play together when Enzo used to bring me to the garden once a moment

I picked some flowers and went towards the place Enzo was seating. I was making a flower crown. He was staring at me the whole time ,playing with my hair

After making the crown I turned yes to Enzo smiling. I placed the crown on top of his head, he looked at me surprised

"You look beautiful in it" I said smiling brightly

His eyes widened more

"Me? Beautiful?" He asked confused and surprised

I nodded smiling. He chuckled.

"I am a monster darling, I can never be beautiful" he said grimacing while caressing my cheeks

"Who said that? I like your eyes, they always sparkle when you are happy, it looks like stars dancing on the night sky"

He looked more surprised but smiled, it is the first time I saw him smiling genuinely, suddenly he engulfed me in a hug, me between his two legs

"This is why I like you Bella, you are like a dream, my dream, a sweet dream I never want to wake out of" he said softly still holding me in a hug

I started to caress his back, sliding my hand up and down, I don't know but I want to console him, at one time he is good to me and on another he turns to be a totally different person

I don't know if he had a hard past or not for which he became like that but I want to help him if I can, I believe no one is born evil, I want to help him until I am here, yes I want to run away and I am planning for it

But it isn't easy to do so, he always stays with me and when he is not he always assign bodyguards everywhere, atleast 10 people are already guarding the gates, even the maids always keeps an eye on me and reports everything to Enzo

I feel like a puppet who is always kept on monitor, I still miss my home, mom,dad, brother and also René, I wonder if they still miss me and looking for me

"What happened my dream?" He asked sounding concerned, lifting my chin Making me look at him

I shook my head with a smile

"Nothing" I said while getting up and going to the dogs

I felt him also getting up

"Let's go Bella, it is getting dark, we should go inside" he said while extending his hand towards me to hold

I nodded while helding his hand with a soft smile on my face and went inside the mansion before waving bye to the dogs

"Ouch" suddenly I felt a sting pain on my ankle

"What happened? Are you okay?" He asked panicking looking all over my body in search of injuries

"I-i am fine, I just feel a bit of pain on my ankle" I said while winching in pain

He saw my ankle and lifted me up bridal style, I gasped Loudly

"You have a cut on your ankle Alora, we need to treat that" saying he went to the living room and sat me down gently

At that time I saw there was a cut on my ankle, I didn't even realised when I had a cut, I guess I was too much busy in playing with the dogs and Enzo

Enzo came shortly with a first aid box in his hand , he kneeled Infront of me and took my ankle placing it on his left thigh

He started to apply medicine to clean the wound, I winched from the pain

"Ah it hurts" I whimpered.

"Don't worry it will be done in a minute" I clenched the side of the sofa tightly

After some moment he was done with bandaging and started to caress my foot

"Does it hurt now?" He asked looking at me

I shook my head looking down at my ankle and saw his hand slowly tracing up my leg, I gulped from his touch

"E-enzo" I called softly

He stood up and pulled me in his arms, he sat on the same place I was seating a moment ago and pulled me into his lap, so now I was straddling him

My leg spread on either side of his leg, I held both of his shoulder to keep myself balanced, he wrapped his hand on my waist and nuzzled his head on my chest, I took a sharp intake of breath

"You are so soft Bella" he said still nuzzling and slowly trailing my neck kissing all over

He started to caress my bare thigh with his one hand

"E- Enzo" I called quietly, which came out like a moan

He removed his face from my neck for a moment and looked at me, I did the same and saw there was something in his eyes, they were dark, his grey eyes was darkening

He looked at my lips licking his ones and all of a sudden his lips crashed with mine , it caught me off guard, my eyes widened from the sudden interaction, he moved his lips on mine and I struggled to get out of his hold, he growled on my lips and pushed me more towards him by pushing me from the back of my head, he licked my mouth asking for entrance which I denied

He pinched my thigh tightly making me gasp which he took as an opportunity and quickly entered his tongue exploring all over my mouth, I felt something pocking me on my thigh

No I didn't wanted my first kiss to end up like that, not with him atleast, I don't want it

I started to get short on breath. I started to struggle, but it went to death end
