Chapter 7

Eva's POV 

I couldn't believe I was in this situation. I had been so naive, so stupid, to think that I could run away from Mark and start a new life. I should have known better. I was nothing more than a piece of property to him, something to be used and abused. And now, I was at his mercy, completely at his mercy. I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of seeing me cry.

I held my breath as I heard a footsteps. My body hurts so much and I couldn't think more than just to get away from him. I just want to go away from him. He torments my life everyday and so why should I still stay with him? He doesn't see me like his mate. All he wanted from me was my body and my submissive self. But I don't want any of this. Then I heard his voice. I shivered. 

"You don't want me to find you, Eva. Come out wherever you are or you are going to get punished even more." I heard his voice. Venom dripping in his voice. 

No, I shook my head. I am never going to allow him to find me. No way. I will just stay still and not move. I will rather die than him catching up with me. He would give me bruises again.

I stayed as still as I could, trying to control my breathing so he wouldn't hear me. I knew it was futile, though - he had the upper hand. He was bigger, stronger, and faster than me. There was no way I could outrun him, or outsmart him. I was trapped, like a rat in a cage. And I knew that eventually, he would find me. I just hoped that by some miracle, I could escape before that happened. But deep down, I knew it was hopeless. I closed my eyes, trying to block out the fear and panic that were coursing through my body.Just then I felt his footsteps coming closer. I tried to hold my breath but I felt dizzy and that if I tried to hold my breath again, I would die. 

I didn't move but then I saw my fear. What I feared most. I saw a snake crawling to my side and I wanted to scream but I placed my hand over my mouth and controlled myself. As the snake came closer, I shifted using my butt. I tried not to make any sound and then finally, I was able to shift to the far end.

The snake paused, as if sensing my presence. I held my breath, hoping that it would move on and leave me alone. But it didn't. It started slithering towards me, its tongue flicking in and out of its mouth. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, my palms sweaty with fear. I didn't dare move, not wanting to draw its attention. I could feel the sweat dripping down my face, my clothes sticking to my body. I closed my eyes, not wanting to see what was about to happen. I felt like I was going to pass out.I screamed out loud when I felt something dug in my feet. It was a thorn.

The snake recoiled at the sound of my scream, and I took that opportunity to roll away from it. I scrambled to my feet, wincing at the pain from the thorn that was still lodged in my foot. I looked around frantically, trying to find a way to escape the snake. And then I saw it - a narrow gap in the wall of the cave. It was just wide enough for me to fit through, but it was a long way up. I didn't know if I could make it, but I had to try. I scrambled up the side of the cave, my hands and feet slipping on the rocks and there, he caught me. Mark caught me. 

"No please. Let me go. I don't have a place in your life. Please." I pleaded with him. 

"Do you think I will let you go just like that? No way. You can't get away from me until the terms of our two months agreement are met. You are to be my mistress. You are to care for my sexual needs." He said and was about to grab me when I ran away but I was so stupid to think that I could get away from him. I fell and I got injured again. It hurts so much. 

He smiled wickedly at me and the next thing I knew, I passed out.When I came to, I found myself in a room, lying on a bed. The room was dimly lit, and I could hear the sound of water dripping in the distance. I tried to move, but my body was too weak. I was drenched in sweat, and my clothes were damp and sticking to my skin. I could hear someone breathing next to me, but I was too afraid to open my eyes. I knew that it was Mark, and I didn't want to see his face. I just wanted to be left alone, to die in peace.

"Why did you do that? Why did you run away from me?" He thundered that it makes me scared. 

I didn't say anything. I was just stressed out the more. I don't know what to do even. I was so scared to look in his eyes. 

"Please don't kill me... please." I pleaded with him. 

"I am not killing you but punishing you would be the ideal thing to do." He told me and smirked in evil. I closed my eyes, willing myself to disappear. I didn't want to be here, in this dark room with this man who wanted to hurt me. I just wanted to go home, to be with my family. I just wanted to be safe. 

Tears started to stream down my face, and I tried to wipe them away, but it was no use. I was trapped, and there was no way out. I just wanted to die.

"fine! I will do anything. Please don't hurt me." I said and his face lit up. 

"You will do anything?" He asked. 

"Yes, anything." I answered, shivering.He smiled, and I could feel the coldness in his smile. He reached out and touched my face, and I flinched away from him. He grabbed my wrist and held it tight, his grip like a vice. I couldn't move, and I could feel the panic rising within me. He leaned in close, and I could feel his breath on my face. 

"Good. From now on, you are mine. You will do as I say, and you will be my slave. Do you understand?" He whispered, his voice low and threatening. I was too afraid to answer, and I just nodded. 

"Strip!" He ordered in loud tone. 

"What?" I asked raising my head.
