Captured by him

Chapter 15: The truth

"Annalise."

I looked up at him

"My guess, based on your attitude towards me, is that you don't know who I am."

"Of course I do, you are the asshole who kidnapped me." I muttered, turning my head back towards my plate.

He must have heard because his knuckles started to turn white.

"Firstly I am part of the American Mafia." He paused "Well actually I am the head of the Mafia."

He was chuckling at my reaction. My eyes couldn't have opened much wider. Shit. Shit shit shit! Well, now I was screwed. If he was 'boss' that would mean he would have a lot of connections, which would make it near impossible to escape him.

Another thought crossed my mind. Why would the head of the American mafia want me? A random 18-year-old girl. Surely he could have women drooling over his feet whenever he wanted if he had that much power but he chose me.

I brought my attention back to Mason who was watching me carefully. He had been quiet for a bit, probably letting me process what he had just said. He was in no rush to continue. It was like he enjoyed watching my head scramble to find a logical explanation.

"And as Mafia Don, I have duties to fulfill. Duties which I have put aside to help you in settling"

Oh, how kind of you.

"But now I must return to attend to some matters at work"

What a shame.

"There is an important meeting tomorrow that I will be attending. It is the first day I will not be watching you, so my head guard Archie will be watching you instead. I believe you have met before and I have given them permission to detain you should you try anything. Annalise, if you are stupid enough to do something, it will not take me long to return otherwise I will see you in two days."

Mason was searching for my answer within my face, but this time I showed no emotion, it would be better that way. My lips remained in a line unmoving. I kept my vision on my food. When I didn't react, he continued.

"I understand that you will not want to be locked in our room all day"

Your room I corrected in my head.

"So I will have Archie accompany you throughout the day. You will be allowed in the bedroom and down here. If you need something, just ask Archie who will confirm with me."

Great. Even when he wasn't here, he was still controlling me.

"Baby," He said, lifting my chin to look at him. "There is a very small list of things that I will deny you, so just ask." placing a kiss on my lips.

I'm guessing that my freedom is one of them.

I began processing the information he had just told me. I would have two days without him. That would mean two days to escape from him. Two days to get as far away from here as possible. Two days to be free.

Mason coughed which brought my attention back to him. He wanted an answer, so I nodded my head, showing that I understood what he was saying.

"Word Annalise" he reminded me

"I understand"

"Good. Should I hear any nonsense about you attempting to escape, there will be consequences and I assure you, you won't like them. Understand?" he said firmly.

"Yes."

"Yes, what?"

"Yes, Mason."

He smiled at my response and pushed his plate of food away. His eyes were glued on me, which made me shift under his gaze.
