Captured by him

Chapter 27

- 3 days later -

For the days that we had been there, I really hadn't seen Mason all that much. It was just Mila and me, and of course Archie and Liam. From the lack of time that Mason had spent with me, I assumed that this must have been a work trip. Both of our captors were away from morning until late afternoon.

It was calming being away from Mason. I think Mila felt the same way about Ace. Sometimes it was only Mason who was away though, so Mila would be with Ace. He was just working in his office but he made Mila sit with him. She said that usually she was allowed to stay with Liam if Ace was occupied but I think Ace didn't trust me very much.

No doubt Mason had told him about my numerous failed escape attempts and it probably made Ace worried that I would give Mila more ideas. I'm not sure why seeing as I clearly hadn't been very successful and where we were now seemed much more secluded than Mason's house. So when Mila and I were separated and I wasn't in the bedroom, I mostly stayed at the beach enjoying the sun and water.

I also gathered that Mason had brought me along so I could see Mila, but also because last time he went away, well you know what happened. The previous trip he went on must have been much closer because if I caused 'trouble', as Mason would call it, it would have taken him about 14 hours to get back to me.

I was grateful that he had brought me to see Mila though. Besides that night at the ball, I hadn't seen anyone else I knew, in ages. Mason was acting a bit differently on top of taking me out of the country. He was being unusually kind, which was new. He also had been very forgiving of any little outbursts I had. Mason also had not tried to do anything else after that second night, besides a few kisses here and there.

Both Mason and Ace had attempted to get us to tell them what had caused our sadness a few nights ago, but neither one of us had. There were too many things that it could be, but mostly it was the chance that Mila might be pregnant.

Back home, we had both talked about being pregnant and having loving husbands, but this situation was so far from that dream. In that dream, we were both in amazing jobs, that we loved and our husbands were just wonderful. It had been our decision to have a baby, it wasn't forced upon us. Not like this.

When Mila was allowed to be with me, we spent most of our day in the water or playing board games in the courtyard. Liam and Archie followed us everywhere but kept their distance. Sometimes when we were outside they would be on the couch watching sport, but also us. It was weird seeing them so relaxed. I guess they had been granted permission to do so, otherwise, Mason would have lost his shit. Occasionally we saw Estelle, the maid, running around doing little errands but besides them, the house was empty.

We had continued our conversation about the possible pregnancy. Mila hadn't got her period in the time we had been taken, which we worked out had been about 4 and a half weeks. She said that when it happened it was probably the right time in her cycle which just made her cry. She hadn't told Ace about it, because she didn't know how he would react.

"Lise?"

I raised my eye to meet hers

"What should I do if I am... pregnant? What would you do?"

"I don't think I could be pregnant when I was only 18, Mils. If I was in your situation with Mason I know I wouldn't want to keep it. On top of the life that I would be bringing the fetus into, I don't love the man who caused it and I would resent him forever."

I paused. Mila's face told me that she agreed but was still unsure of what to do.

"Would you tell Mason?"

"No. I would wait for a few more weeks. Our life has been pretty stressful for the past month and a bit, Mils, there is probably a pretty high chance that you aren't pregnant."
