Elena's POV
It is been a week, we have been attacked by Xaphan and his father, Lucifer. We changed the place and now we are staying again in a deserted place. I don't know the exact name of the place, the only thing I know is that the house is surrounded by practically nothing and it is on the outskirts of the city.
Every evening we come out of the four walls to have fresh air. Raphael has stopped going on duty from that day and he has assigned himself for the duty of our safety.
After having dinner, I went to the backside of the house for brisk walking and to fill my lungs with fresh air. After making sure that Mimi is sleeping soundly Raphael joined me.
Like every day, we walked hands in hands without saying anything. Raphael is already not a man who speaks much and after that incident, I have also started speaking less as we are living under a constant threat of getting caught, and most of the time my mood stays low.

Elena's POVI was running away from the monster with all the strength I could muster. He was behind me, I picked up the speed but at last, all my attempts became futile when I slumped on the floor and he caught me in his arms. I was thrashing in his hold, throwing my legs and hands here and there, trying to breathe when someone jerked me roughly.I opened my eyes, my vision was blurry and I couldn't see anything except the roof. Several beads of sweat were budding from different parts of my body and my heart was beating so fast that I felt like it will explode any second.Yet I sighed in relief at the thought that it was just a bad dream, in reality, I am safe!Someone was rubbing my cold palm in between his large warm hands. A smile made its way to my lips on the thought that like every time it must be my Rifle.With this thought, I turned my face to my right but I gasped in horror by loo
Elena's POV "Enough of Tom & Jerry game. Now it is high time that this lion hunt his little kitten" He laughed like a devil before ravishing my body with his lustful gaze. Oh, God! Please save me! He leaned in towards my neck and my lips moved to the area where he carved 'X'. All of a sudden his movement halted. "My mark has faded and your wounds have been healed" he stroked his thumb over my skin that was once marked by him. "It is time to give a new one" he chuckled before attacking my neck again. "Xaphan, don't do something that you regret in the future" He sat back on my waist after hearing my words. "This is you who are going to regret the decision of escaping me. After I am done with you, you will not be able to walk for days and will never think of running away from me. Your pain will remind you what kind of MAN you have messed up with" he emphasiz
Raphael's POVMy heart leaped a beat as I felt like Elena is in big trouble and she is missing me. I was not able to take a breath of peace from the moment I came to know that Elena has been abducted by Xaphan again, I was just moving back and forth getting anxious with every moment.Last night it took me almost 2 hours to save my mother from those monsters, and after making sure that my mother is sleeping soundly I went to bring Elena back but she was nowhere to be found. And my friend whom I gave the responsibility to make sure that Elena is safe, was lying lifeless on the ground.I went to Xaphan's mansion but we were not able to rescue Elena as the palace was guarded heavily. The police department is not helping me much with the case as the instruction of wiping out the Knight clan has been taken back for now.I tried everything to bring Elena out of the place and failed miserably. I was still not ready to leave the place without Ele
Elena's POVHands wrapped around the folded legs, head placed on the knees, I was looking at the sidewall without even blinking. My brain has run out of thoughts, a lot has happened in my life, in the last few months.I always had a very simple and smooth life. Yes, I wanted adventures in my life but not the storms that desolate me completely.I am sitting in this room all alone from the moment Lucifer has locked me here, and no one has come to even see me.As if God heard my voice, someone, someone entered the room. My head snapped as I heard the creaky sound of the door opening.A maid entered with a tray full of food. Although I haven't eaten anything since last night yet I am not feeling hungry.She placed the tray on the table and turned to left the room without saying anything. As she turned, Lucifer entered with his imperious personality.He towered above me and looked down as if I am an anim
Elena's POV Shock is a very small word to express what I am feeling at present after looking at the completely changed demeanor of Raphael. I never thought even in my worst nightmare that he can trade his mother for money and love. This is not the person whom I loved and if this is his real face then I am not going to accept him in any way. I flinched at my place at the gunshot and snapped my head in the direction of the voice and found Xaphan standing there with a gun pointed towards the sky, firing in the air. He was looking drunk as his eyes were bloodshot red and his knees were wobbling. He was not able to stand still on his feet. He yelled like a beast and pointed his gun towards Lucifer. "How dare you?" He roared, clasping the gun with both hands and making the balance. "Put the gun down, Xaphan" Lucifer instructed. But he was too high to give heed to anything. He was looking thirsty fo
Elena's POVIt is been three days since the doctors have discharged Raphael. That day he kept waiting for me but I didn't go to meet him. I am still not able to muster enough courage to face him.In fact from the day he has come to the home, I am just ignoring him, trying to avoid eye contact, refraining myself from indulging in any kind of conversation.Today, at the time of lunch he was sleeping so I and Mimi had lunch together. I woke up from a siesta when I felt thirsty. I checked my bottle just to find it empty. I walked towards the kitchen to refill it.As I was crossing the hall I saw that Raphael's room door was open. I peeped into it slightly and found him having his lunch on the bed. He was struggling with the food because of the bandage on his right shoulder. He was trying to eat with his left hand.After giving it a thought, I decided to go into his room. The ignoring game is not going to work for long.He
Elena's POV"Mimi, I am not going on a date. It is just a get-together. Why are you forcing me to wear this red dress?"I huffed in irritation and sat on the bed. For the past twenty minutes, we are switching from one dress to another, not able to reach any concrete decision."Yes, I know but I want you to look the best at the party. Please" she made a puppy face "I request"How can I deny her request when she is asking me so lovingly?"Ok""Yay," she squeaked like a kid.This brought a wide smile to my face too."Don't make me wait for long" she made her way out of the room.I for my part started sliding into the red midi to get ready for the party.The day when Raphael took me to the dungeon and I whipped Xaphan, I cried a lot. All the emotions that were making my heart heavy, suffocating me, came down like a river and washed away my heart. I felt very
Elena's POV "How long will you take?" My mother asked getting all irritated. "Just five minutes more!" So today is the biggest day of my life as I am going to get married to the man of my dreams! The anxiety and nervousness are at their peak. My palms and feet are numb and my head is so full of thoughts that I can't think anything specific. The only thing that my heart is chanting like a mantra is that every time this day should not turn out to be a dream. I want it to be a reality. Strong emotions have overpowered me, making me feel surreal. We have kept the wedding very simple as our families are small. My family has arrived two days back and Raphael has invited a few of his colleagues to attend the wedding. The decoration is very modest because both of us have decided to spend money on a world tour instead of doing unnecessary expenditure on the wedding. "Bui, daddy is
