Lilac's Pov

I have been here for so long now and I can't get out.

Alex has been scaring me and making me feel safe in his arms. This is confusing me. What does he want?

I don't know what to do or feel. In the end he still kidnapped me and he still hurt me. But I don't have a choice do I? I'm not allowed to leave.

I think I have come to terms to accept my fate. And it's not that bad here as long as I don't leave my room. I have shelves full of books to read, and Anna, the cook who I talk to every morning.

Last night I could sleep in peace, because Alex took care of that strange man who was stalking me.

And today after breakfast maids and stylist flooded my room to get me ready for that formal dance.

Alex told me some things I needed to know about the dance while we had breakfast.

I find myself ugly and I don't like to go out. I was always an introvert because of the constant hate and bullying. Not to mention me being weak and having circulatory problems does not help at all. I feel most of the time dizzy. And when we add not eating and drinking much, it gets worse.
I know, it's probably my fault but I did not ask for this. Starving means that your ability to eat a lot shrinks.  And I did it my whole life to pay my rent or finish college.

And you know what happend after I tried to force myself, well I threw up. So I stooped eating to much. It was disgusting.

So I can tell that this world is not my piece of cake. I am weak, pathetic and those people look all healthy and strong. I just feel out of place.

After I took a shower the stylist began to do my hair and makeup.

I was actually scared with that much people around,  but Alex told me while having breakfast that they are nice people. So I trusted what he has said.

After my hair and makeup was finished I looked at my appearance in the mirror.

I looked so beautiful for the first time in my life.

My makeup was light and not too extravagant and my middle long hair which was normally straight was now flowing down my shoulders in waves.

As the maids helped me into my dress I couldn't help but gasp. That dress was so amazing. It was wine-red and had a deep neckline, not to forget that the dress was strapples with a cut in the front up to my tigh. I never liked to show so much skin but it was worth it. And the fitting shoes made the dress even more beautiful. I loved everything about that look.

"Thank you so much" I told all the maids and the stylists that helped me, to show how thankful I was.

There was a knock on the door as Alex entered.

He looked so handsome in his suit.
