Every soul of mine wants to know why am I forced to stay here claiming myself as his wife-to-be. I cried, I’m crying and I’ll cry, at times he’s near me and at times when he’s not. Why can’t I leave? But do I actually want to leave? Didn’t I expert sneaking out from my mafia back when I was in college? I had the will back then, or, am I enjoying being here? Am I relishing the way he treats me? I snickered mocking myself, I’m no princess, even if he’s the king, being the princess wouldn’t be enough. “Ms. Dawn, Mr. Kai is asking for you!!” I blinked my eyes, multiple times after hearing Nancy’s voice. Sliding the sheets over my head, I don’t want to go, I said to myself, I’m not going. I'm not. “I’m coming.” I replied, her footsteps fading, she left. I recalled why I hated alcohol this much. Kai fucking Eldorado. I remembered. He must be furious, the number of times I have walked over him, offended him, he wants me dead right now. And my forever proud steps were now battling

Women don’t like what comes easy, they crave something hard, something difficult, something that rips them apart. Easy things have no value, that’s what I'm scared of, I believe I'm gonna lose my friend just by trying to love him. That’s why there is a rule that you can’t date your best friend. I wish for us to stay friends forever without ruining this bond because of pointless feelings. And I believe love is only limited to our imagination and the only thing left in reality is pain. We played card games, watched movies, and baked cookies, well, he did everything I was just admiring his effort. “Dawn… have you ever wondered what it’s like to win a battle?” He rose the question all of a sudden. Well, yes because I was a really good student back then, I got good grades, and I was never criticized by any of my teachers. “Dawn…” He pinched me, “I’m not talking about small assessment tests.” He smirked reading my mind, I hate him, he knows me too well. “Never mind…” He shrugged his

Dawn- “Save me,” I screamed, desperately attempting to flee from the door. José gazed at me, his eyes filled with dread, and he swallowed nervously, his throat visibly tense with a large lump. My shrieks resonated across the room yet failed to reach the ears outside, my mouth wide agape to let out another hopeless scream and he covered my face with his hands, rendering me unable to utter a word. “Dawn? Are you there?” It was Kai, I could sense him. It’s him and I’ve never been so happy about it. “Helphelphelpmeeee” I muffled, trying to speak, he took his revolver out and slammed it on my head. I felt blood pouring down my face as I watched him jump out of the window. Jose left and I felt like my eyes were closing, my feint breathing only made worsened the calm I needed and all I wanted was to walk out of this room, “Dawn, I’m breaking the door, answer me.” Kai roared in anger. Please save me. My sloppy steps slowly reached out for the door, I gasped for air feeling myself losing

Dawn- “What are you two up to?” I jumped on the voice and saw him strolling down from the stairs. Of course, he didn’t wear the suit I chose for him, but even if he did, I wouldn’t know because he has the same clothes, that too a lot of them. And for some reason, the white on his body made the blue in his eyes pop out so stunningly that I find myself drowning in them even more. I hate him, I remind myself and stood up from the couch. “Mr. Eldorado, would you mind?” I dust my hands letting the crumbles fall off my fingers, and stalked toward the kitchen. “What happened?” He placed his hands in the pocket and followed me like a puppy. I will fucking destroy you, you gave me the right, remember? I stood before the counter and grabbed a jar from the slab. “I can’t seem to open it.” I pouted trying my best to act cute, and it didn’t take much effort, my tiny face is my virtue at times like these. “And I’ll help you, why?” He quirked a brow. Did I act too sweet for him to notice my hoa

Kai- “Did you find her, Marvin?” My brain could barely function from all the atrocities Dawn is putting me through, as if I had just one job. “I'm afraid n---no sir. It seems like that girl has disappeared off the face of the earth.” An unconscious groan rippled from my mouth, “we are trying our best---” “How many years has it been Marvin?” I questioned, “how many damn years?” My voice rose up erupting into a hot lava, my every nerve is shattered because of Dawn and I’ve become foreign to the world calm. “T---twelve years, sir.” “Yes, Marvin. Twelve years, and we’re yet to find her.” I pressed my temples firmly letting my wrath subside within the air of this room. “Remember when I took you in, you said you’d do anything to find her?” I snarled, “is it so hard to find a girl? A mere girl?” His eyes widened before me and he scratched his head. “All you gave me was how she looked back then, she’s not a kid anymore, it’s hard to find a girl with curly hair, you should’ve narrowed it
