25. A challenge

Antonio

Alexithymia, a disorder that indicated the lack of ability to feel and express emotions and empathize with others. Many doctors in my childhood came up with that term when my father realized that his tyranny wasn’t affecting me and he sought out professional help that why his son wasn’t afraid of him like everyone around him.

He was told that I was an unfeeling child. A mental disorder that allowed me to be cut out from the emotions everyone else around me felt. But there was one person I could never not feel emotions for. My twin sister. Whereas I was an unfeeling, cold bastard, my beautiful twin sister was overly emotional even when it came to our parents— our selfish mother and our abusive father. She was everything I wasn’t. Beautiful. Warm. With a heart of gold a

I LOVE this!! I love the whole storyline - I think she can be a bit obnoxious at times or a little over the top maybe with her defiances but I love how there is an underlying story developing with her.. love this!

  EricaI ran out of the dining hall, uncaring of the fact that I was nakèd and anyone could see me. All I wanted was to get away from him and the dark shadowed demons of my childhood.I burst into the room I had spent my day in and made my way straight to the bathroom. I wasn’t in any condition to think that how this old, dark castle had a shower installed in it as I turned it on and sat down on the cold unforgiving floor.My nails dug into my wrist as I counted in my mind, desperate to detach myself from the painful horrible memories. I didn’t know for how long I sat there under the cold water but it was enough that I started to feel numb. My mind was trying to pull out the memories that would make me feel a sliver of warmth in the cold dark desolate place I had

• CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance    27. Evidence of my demons

  EricaI woke up with a buzzing head, a dry mouth and a throbbing palm.I squinted my eyes and brought my palm up to my face. There was a long gash in my palm but it wasn’t deep so I won't be needing stitches. And I had wrapped in a strip of white fabric that I had torn from the corner of the sheet I had been using as a dress since yesterday but sometime in the night it must've gotten loose as my hand was bare and the cut looked double its size. Even my fingers hurt when I curled them.Fûck.I hadn't meant to do that. I had drank the whole bottle and then the next think I knew I was standing in the bathroom and wondering how to break it so I could take a shard long enough to murder the arsehole. But the moment I broke it, I couldn'

  EricaI wore thesluttydress.And even went as far as to wear that stupid, blinking diamond bracelet. It was beautiful on my wrist but I would never admit it. For some reason that beautiful thing didn’t feel like an expensive jewellery it was, but a shackle from Antonio Rossi. Either way, I wore it and the thing I loved the most of my whole attire wasn’t designer dress with fabric less than a handkerchief or the delicate cream colored thong underneath it or the diamond bracelet, it was the pair of shoes that I was wearing on my feet under the dress that looked fit to walk on the red carpet.

• CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance    29. It's a deal then

  AntonioI watched her walk away, her perfectly shaped hips swaying as she made her way inside and disappeared. I turned to Ephraim and found him glaring down at his plate. He was nine years younger than me and yet he still looked a fresh faced fourteen years old that I had taken under my wing. He still did everything to impress me even when I had told him again and again he didn’t have to but surprisingly he went against me for the little devil who was nothing but a captive.I could see that he liked her but not enough to displease me and that was the reason he was angry right now. At himself. That his little attraction had cost him my disappointment. I stood up and wasn’t surprised when he apologized, “I am sorry, I didn’t mean to go against your wishes. It was just, she looked so sad aft

• CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance    30. You will regret it

  EricaI spent the rest of the day in the castle, going from one corner to another. It’s huge, the corridors had my feet aching but I was intrigued and the quiet, the smell of dust in most of the empty rooms and sculptures in one room that had looked like it was part of a museum and not to miss the intricate designs on the walls had me going on till the sun set and my stomach grumbled for the fifteenth time to feed it.There were four locked doors that I had encountered. One being the same one that had led to the narrow stairs that I had ascended with Ephraim in the morning, for some reason it was locked now and I really wanted to go upstairs in that corridor with all those windows. I knew for sure that floor belonged to Antonio and he had it locked. Then there were two other rooms on the third floor that were locked. And one that intrigued me most was t

• CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance    31. I’ll help you

  EricaUnable to believe my eyes, I once again looked back on either side from where I stood and then entered the tent. My whole body tensed as if I was a rabbit going out for a snack when there was a hungry lion on the prowl. I didn’t even breathe for the five steps it took me to reach the small wooden cabinet and on top of which was a gun resting idly.The moment my fingers touched the cold metal, I snatched it up and stuffed it inside my blouse. The bulge was noticeable so I pulled my hair free from its ponytail. My heart thudded in my chest as I made my way out of the tent ready to be jumped by someone, Ephraim or any of the men in black uniform.I was so engrossed and trying to deal with what I just did that when I rounded the corner of the

• CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance    32. And, I ran...

  EricaDinner was quiet. I was too nervous and wrapped up in my mind to make small talk or to pester Ephraim. And it seemed that he knew I wasn’t one to remain quiet and keep my thoughts to myself because he kept glancing at me. But my mind was on planning my escape. The problem was I would never be able to walk out the front door to make my escape because as it happens apart from the security guards that keep watch during the night, rounding the parameter of the castle, Elijah and one other man stay in the entry hall to keep watch if someone managed to get through the guards stationed outside. So it meant that I would’ve to find another way which was impossible if I remained in that windowless room.The one question I had asked of Ephraim was when Antonio will be back. He had looked surp

• CAGED- A Dark Billionaire Captive Romance    33. I couldn't breathe

  EricaMy breaths came short and fast as I ran. The soles of my feet screamed their agony as my feet pounded on the uneven gravel. The tree line was just a few steps away and I could hear more men shouting as they got aware of my escape. Soon, Ephraim would know too and I’d have to be gone. I didn't want to fail and be caught. The thought spurred me on and I put my everything as I ran.The moment I entered the forest, I zigzagged through the trees. I could hear the footsteps coming after me. One of the men called out, “Miss, return to the castle and no one needs to tell Capo anything.”I snorted. Yeah. Fûck you.The overgrown dry grass scratched and hurt my legs and goosebumps dotted my skin because of the c
