Elena quickly braced the door with her body by placing her back against it, she felt insecure, not minding that she had locked the door from inside. She then hurriedly tied the towel around her chest, making sure it covered her body down to below her knee.She then stood upright and turned to the door; she took a deep breath in and exhaled to stabilize her nerves. The knock had not come again but she knew the person was there, she should have locked the bedroom door completely.She finally opened the door after hesitation, hoping that the person was gone, she couldn’t see anyone from the bathroom and so she stepped out. She wondered if the person was gone, just like she wished.Without wasting more time, she tiptoed to the door and locked it from the inside, she turned around and just then she came to face Leo.“Ahhh!!!” she screamed and panicked with shock written all over her face and jumped backward, almost dropping her towel in the process, but she was quick to hold it firmly to h
Elena kept staring back as the men led her out of the building, she couldn’t help but notice that the house was more like a castle, a large fortress, she had not gotten the opportunity to have a good view of it when they brought her in the previous night. It was night again already, which means she had been here for a full day and no one had come to look for her.Elena noticed Leo standing on the balcony on the second floor; he was watching them from up there. She sighed and faced her front, she was being led by three men to a jeep in front. She knew they were going on a mission, she had no idea what the mission was but she was certain that it was something bad; of course, they were bad men so it made sense that they did bad things.They arrived at the beautiful black jeep and one of the men opened the door, he walked in first and left the door open for the others to follow. Luca paused and stared at Elena, she understood his unsaid words, it was her turn to get in the car.She hesita
Elena walked to the middle of the road and lay down, she was really terrible at acting but this wasn’t a difficult scene, was it? In a few seconds, she could see the front light of the incoming car; she began to raise her hand like asking for help.She was nervous and a part of her wished that the man wouldn't stop the truck. Yes, if he didn’t, he would run her over, but wasn’t that better than becoming a criminal? She had no idea what these men were going to do to the truck driver but it would definitely be something bad, and she already felt guilty about it.If anything bad happened to the man, she would be responsible for it. She didn’t want to live with such guilt, especially when she was not sure how long before she was killed as well. But on second thought, did she deserve to die? Was it right to die for someone else? She might not be a criminal but she was no saint either, she had done some pretty bad things in her life.The truck was fast approaching, honking loudly and contin
“Don’t blame me, it was you that gambled with thugs when you knew you had no money!!” Elena’s mother yelled back at her husband.“Really? Well, if you had trained her well, then she would have been married by now and we wouldn’t even have to worry about her getting abducted by some random thugs.” He retorted in his defense.Chiara rolled her eyes at him. “Our daughter was not abducted by thugs, she was taken as collateral by the people you owe money. Why would you even gamble with such thugs in the first place? You know very well that he is a member of the Lupi family and yet you had something to do with him.” she scolded.Elena’s father staggered around trying to gain balance, he had gone out as usual tonight and had a lot to drink, now he was tipsy from all that. “”Don’t blame it all on me alone, how was I supposed to know that he would come here and take our useless daughter?” He queried.“Stop giving flimsy excuses and admit you are wrong, this is your entire fault. Useless or not
Anna knocked on the office door and checked her watch; she was dressed in regular house attire- a short sleeved light shirt and pajamas down. She glared at the camera impatiently, while wondering what Baron White was still doing here by now.Finally, the door opened and the white skinned man stared at her with keen eyes, probably surprised to see her. “Anna? What are you doing here so late at night, and in Pajamas?” he queried with furrowed eyebrows.“I should be asking you that. I went to your house hoping to find you there, but I was informed that you were here, so I had to come.” She replied.“Well, my wife is mad at me, I am kind of sleeping in the doghouse tonight, so I thought it would be better to crash here,” Baron uttered and took a bite from the chicken wings in his hand.Anna wrinkled her face and looked at him with mixed expressions. “Your wife kicked you out of the house? What did you do again, Mr. White?” she asked and smirked.“Hey, don’t give me that look, it wasn’t my
Elena stood before the mirror, adjusting her outfit to perfection. She was dressed in a long pink gown that went down to her ankles; it was split on one side, from the knee downwards. She packed her long hair to the left and clipped it together; she still had no idea why Leonardo had asked her to dress up.This was practically her third night under the roof of these vile men, she was beginning to get a bit comfortable around here, considering the things she had now that she wouldn’t even dream of before, but however she still wanted more than anything else to go home.She had been served the best breakfast of her entire life earlier today, and a maid had brought her lunch in her room later as well, she would never get such treatment at home. Was she foolish for wanting to go back home? Or was she greedy for enjoying the advantages of her new home?Not like it was guaranteed, but she had more faith now that they wouldn’t kill her, what would they gain from ending her already miserable
The party was bubbling with entertainment, music in the air, flashy lights illuminating the whole place. Elena was sitting alone at a table, she had come here with three of the gang members, Mateo and two other made-men.The two men were outside while Mateo was inside, keeping an eye on her. Even though she couldn’t see him, she knew that he was watching her from a corner. The man she had come for was two tables away, he was surrounded by about five able bodied young men, obviously his guards.Elena was trying to come up with a plan, a way she could get closer to him. she wouldn’t just go there and sit, he was a high profile fellow, he could have his men toss her out of the party the next moment.She also couldn’t confront him and ask for his phone at gunpoint, his men obviously had bigger guns; they would off her before she even made a move. Elena was confused; she had no idea what to do next. Leonardo had made it clear that if the mission wasn’t successful, he would kill a member of
“What do you think you are doing?” the man queried with furrowed eyebrows.“Don’t ask me any questions, turn around and put your hands up in the air,” she ordered. She had suddenly found courage after he called her a bitch, she hated that term a lot and wouldn’t mind killing because of it.The man chuckled. “You are really silly to threaten me, do you know who I am?” he asked and made to come closer.“Not another step, I am not kidding,” she warned with a stern face and the man paused.“Stop this and put down the gun, it's obvious you haven’t shot someone before, your hands are shaking,” he said and laughed.Even though he was acting tough and fearless, Elena could see the fear visible in his eyes, she knew she got him where she wanted him, she just had to put more effort or she would be gone.“You are right, I haven’t shot someone before but I really want to know what it feels like, so don’t piss me off further or I will blow off your fucking brain!!” she threatened. “Now, hands in t
