Author's POVTheir car stopped in front of the villa. Veronica looked at the tight security around the place. Vladimir opened the car door and picked her up. He looked at her face, red nose, puffy eyes and ruined dress. He never wanted it to end up like this but everything went wrong. He was aware that they will do something to ruin his wedding but wasn't expecting this massacre. His guards looked at him as he carried his bride inside the house. She was frozen in his hands. He can imagine how everything has affected her. She isn't used to all this. He reached his bedroom and took her to the washroom. Veronica stepped back from him when he placed her down. "Take it off..."He said. He wanted to see if she is injured somewhere."No!"She stepped back from him with fear, thinking he will touch her. She has slept with him before but that time she wanted too, this time she is forced. Vladimir closed his eyes and sighed."Now!"He ordered keeping his voice calm.Veronica shook her he

Veronica's POVI grabbed the bag which maid handed me and went to the closet to change. He is still in the bathroom. I opened the bag and took out the dress. It's floral gown which is suitable to wear in this weather as we are still on the island. I tried to take off its price tag. "Fuck!"I ripped it frustrated. Whatever he did in the morning is making me feel stupid and frustrated. I should hate that man and I fucking moaned. I should be ashamed of myself. I have to get out of here at any cost but before that I need to find out where is Ryan. Where has he kept him? I have to save Ryan and myself. I have wasted my years for Zen not again. I got ready and thought about ditching sandals but I can't walk around bare feet. But also this leg is hurting like a bitch and wearing sandles will make it worse. But again there is sand everywhere, it will get infected if it comes in contact with wound. Oh God! "I told you not to touch bandage..."I flinched when he he took me off guard.

Veronica's POVHe has something in his mind and he is working on it with proper planning. he knows how to take advantage of the situation and how to manipulate things. I asked for my cellphone and he again said the same thing. I can't give anything to him. I won't let him win. "If you are done glaring at me then enjoy yourself!"I hate that smirk. He is swimming in the pool and I am glaring at him while sitting on the edge. His body flexed with each move, he has an eagle tattoo on his back, that's the only tattoo on his body. I flinched back when water splashed on my face."I don't want to..."I said when he stopped in front of me and placed his wet hands on my thighs.

Whom you will order around..."I shouldn't open my mouth so carelessly. I really shouldn't. He smirked and I hate whenever he smirks, it feels like he is mocking me in whatever

Author's POVVera was sitting on the bed. She rested her head on her knees and sighed. She was feeling stupid to fall in his trap, it was too obvious that it's a trap when the gate was unguarded.She couldn't believe that he just did it to make her realise that there is no escape. He wants her to give in, surrender herself completely to him. He claims to love her but is it really a love or just stubborness. He kisses her forehead every time, looks at her like she is the only person he wants to see in this world, he doesn't ignore her presence like Zen used to do. He tries to make her talk.
