THIRD PERSON'S POVCarly hissed in frustration, then tried to walk away, but the first and second car opened their doors almost at the same time, right in front of her.Immediately the doors were opened, about four men in suits came out of the car, just as she was about to turn, a strong arm grabbed her arm, stopping her.She shrugged it off and turned to give them a piece of her mind.As she turned, another man came down from the other car.This man was recognizable;"Dad." She said."What are you doing in my school and when did you start moving about with guards?" She asked in shock."That's my daughter." The Dad said to one of the men on suit, and turned away.Before Carly could open her mouth to say a word, they grabbed her gently by her arm."What the! Dad! Dad!" She yelled as she struggled but their grip was so strong. Before she know it, she was in the back seat of the black Mercedes-Benz S-Class."Leave me alone, I have a test to write later today. Let me go!"She said still s

CARLY'S POVAs I stood waiting for his reply, Marco walked in with a briefcase."You see, Little Davison" Alessandro began as he sat on the chair, Marco walked behind him and stood by his right hand side."I'm not little Davison! My name's Carly." I cut in.He stared at me, and continued;"Your father failed in his own part of the deal, and now he owes me a fortune, and I'm pretty sure you know about all that, well he called this morning.""First of all my father's debt is not my responsibility! And if you didn't notice, the last time you came to threaten my Dad, I wasn't in that little stupid Meeting!" I shot back, my anger overcoming some of my fear.He smirked, which made me more angrier, "I'm clearly not the one who owes you money, so why am I here instead of my Dad." I snapped."Normally, you'd be right," Alessandro said, leaning back in the chair. "But your father willingly gave you up to serve me at least till he pays up.""So as long as he owes me money, you serve me."I swall

CARLY'S POVI woke up the next day to a slight headache.It was 5:35 am, the earliest I've been awakened in my entire life.I sluggishly dragged myself to the bathroom, the pounding in my head intensifying with each step. The cold tiles beneath my feet sent shivers up my spine, a stark reminder of the grim reality I found myself trapped in.As I turned on the faucet, filling the bathtub with warm water, I thought of the things I would have been doing at that time if I was home.I quickly submerged myself in the soothing water, trying to wash away not only the physical grime but also the emotional weight that burdened me. The steam enveloped my body as I closed my eyes and let myself drift for a moment into a world where actual freedom existed a world where I was not considered as some collateral.Just as I began to relax, Alessandro's voice pierced through the silence like a dagger. Startled, I jerked upright and clutched onto my towel tightly as he strolled into the bathroom without

CARLY'S POVI purposely stayed in the School's library for hours until it was evening time, hoping Leonardo would get bored and leave, but he didn't.He stayed there like some robot, his eyes darted on me.At some point, I got so tired I had to leave.The drive back was a silent one.The moment I entered the big living area, I saw Alessandro seated in that dimly lit area with some dangerous looking men.They were all in suits, they were smoking cigars, and the sound of their grunting was terrifying.They seemed to be playing Chess, gambling, or loan shaking, I can't tell.I was too nervous to walk past them that I froze the moment I saw them, nerves gnawed at my insides like hungry rats in search of sustenance.Alessandro's gaze met mine for a fleeting moment, sending shivers down my spine, I quickly hid, turning back, but when I did, Leonardo was no longer there, but Marco was."Any problem Miss?" He asked with a stoic face."Um… No…no problem. I'm fine." I stuttered."Your room is t

CARLY'S POV"The Boss orders you put on the new clothes, he's taking you somewhere with him." He stated and immediately turned to leave."Where?" I asked making him stop deaf in his tracks."Where is he taking me to?" I asked again my eyes darting at him."You will know when you get there." He said. "And be ready in fifteen minutes." He added."That doesn't answer my question!" I yelled out as he walked out the door.I sighed and took out the dress and heels from the shopping bag I left them in.I looked at them for a while."This must be so expensive." I said to myself as I hugged the dress.I slipped into the black elegant dress, its silky fabric gliding over my skin. The soft scent of the material enveloped me as I carefully zipped up the back. The dress clung to my curves, making me feel a little bit exposed. After looking at myself in the mirror for a while, I stepped into the high heels, their clicking sound echoing through the room as I walked around to test my balance.As I s
