His Prey (Rewriting)

Chapter 1

× Sage ×

I was covered in bruises and my throat felt raw, from kicking and screaming. He just dropped me in a bedroom and locked the door.
It was one of the biggest rooms I've ever seen with a bed that looked as soft as a cloud and a bathroom with everything a person desires.
A glass wall seperated me from the rest of the world.
Yeah sure, he's a millionaire but I want no part in his life.

The man who took me is the most feared and dangerous man there is on earth. He holds everyone and everything under his thumb, which now includes me too.

I sat on the bed, staring out into the night sky above the city when the door opened. A small woman stood there with a tray of food and a soft warm smile.
"I told him you would be hungry, and my poor child I'm glad you met me because you're just skin and bone", a sympathetic look crossed over her warm brown eyes.
She was middle-aged with light brown hair. Her hair was tied up in a neat bun and she wore a dress with an apron.
"My name is Bernice, but you can call me Burnie. I'm the cook here and I can fasion you any meal or dessert you like", she smiled with pride.

"I'm Sage, pleased to meet you", I kept my distance even though I knew the woman would cause me no harm.

After a moment of silence she gave me an awkward smile and straightend her apron. "Well then, I'm going to leave the tray right here. You rest up now child, it looks like you need it", she turned and opened the door.

"Wait!", she turned to me, "Can you please tell your boss I don't want to be here"

"You can tell him yourself child, he's been on the other side of this door the whole time", just then he entered the room and Bernice quickly slipped out without looking back. Closing the door behind her.

He stood near the door, scanning every inch of me before finally resting his eyes on my own. "I have no intention of letting you go little one. You are my mate. Therefore you are my most valued possession"
His eyes held mine firmly, but at the last word I could feel my anger bubbling underneath my skin.
"I will never be owned by you, I'm not something to be owned. I'm a human being and I will make sure you regret kidnapping me. You will never, ever lay a finger on me", venom dripped from every word.

"Oh but darling, I challenge you otherwise. One day you will beg me to touch you and untill then I'll wait", a smirk appeared on his lips and he turned and walked out of the room. Locking the door behind him.
A frustrated groan escaped me as I fell onto the bed.
I will not let this psycho win. I'll make him regret everything.
