My eyes shoot open as I try to come to my senses. I look around. This is not my room.
There is a lingering smell of men's cologne. The room is dark. Light only seeping out through the windows. I look over where there is huge open shower. Gawking at the entirety of the bedroom for about a full 2 minutes, I realize. What the f*ck happened.
After A few moments of silence of trying to remember what happened, the door knob begins to move. It creaks open only to reveal a tall dark figure. The figure stalks over to me as the light hits his face, I recognize who it is. The man from the club. Flashbacks of me getting kidnapped starts to come back and I start to remember everything. The way I was struggling against someones grip, passing out then waking up here.
HIM. HE KIDNAPPED ME. Oh sh*t. I widen my eyes in horror as I move my self as far away as possible from him. The bed dips as he evens out the weight on the bed. "Hey, it's okay I'm not here to harm you." He says. "H-how do I know I can trust you." Curse myself for stuttering. I sounded like an idiot. "you don't, but I promise everything will be revealed later. In the mean time do you need anything? Food? water?" I shake my head no. He stands up and god damn was this guy attractive.
I despise his guts but I know I cant go back to my abusive father, I just cant. I was scared for my life. "Please just let me go..Please." I felt hot tears seep out the corner of my eyes. To my surprise he leans down and takes the pad of his thumb and runs it across my cheek, wiping the tear.
"Im sorry but I cant do that. Cara here will give you everything you need. But let me repeat this. You cant leave. This place is guarded stem to stern. If I hear that you've tried to escape there will be consequences." he says dangerously calm. "oh" is all I say. "Use your words love." he raises his eyebrows at me.
"I understand" I say. "Good" He says. He then gets up from his seated position, walks out closing the door behind him. I avert my eyes too Cara. "Hi sweetie let me know If you need anything." she seems to be around my age. I nod at her words. She then leaves as well. Im now here alone. I get up and walk over to the shower and grab a towel. Mine as well shower.
Xavier's POV:
Leo informs me that Arabella has arrived. "She's in your room boss" Good. I make my way from my office to my room. I slowly open the door and there she is. As I come closer she realizes who I am and freaks out. I walk slow towards her not wanting to scare her. I tell her about whats expected and that I will reveal everything to her later.
After I leave I walk back to my office. I need to figure out how to deal with Elijah and what the f*ck to do with his daughter.
Arabella's POV:
I walk to the shower and when I mean expensive I mean EXPENSIVE. It was huge. The glass barely had one mark. It had so many types of shampoos and soaps. I picked out the rose shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It smelt fantastic. I walked out of the bathroom and Went to his bureau. I picked out a black shirt and boxers. It was way too big so I called Cara.
She came into the room. "What do you need darling?" she asks. "Are there any clothes for me, or?" "Oh yes! One moment." She says and I nod my head in response. She comes back. "Boss tells me that your clothes are in the closet" She says while exiting.
I Walk to the closet and open the doors. To my surprise half of his things are on one side, mine are on the other.
There were so many assortments of undergarments, shoes, dresses, tanks, shirts, pants and skirts. It was amazing. I decided to go with a pretty flower sun dress that had a small slit in one of the legs. I paired it with heals and I blow dried my hair. I decided to find the kitchen. Since I woke up I've been very hungry.

I walk downstairs and I swear to god I went into at least 10 different rooms before I found the kitchen. "Holy sh*t" I whisper under my breath. The kitchen's interior was the most extravagant place I've ever seen. It had a matte black finish, an island design with pretty lights.
I start looking for food but before I can grab something a loud voice boomed throughout the room. He was here. He looked at me but then his eyes traveled along my body which made me quite uncomfortable, so I turn my back to him. I feel his presence as he walks behind me. He whispers into my ear, "Dinner is in 20 minutes, don't be late."
"oh okay" I respond. "wait" I say as he walks away. "yes love?" "Um where is dinner this evening?" I ask nervously. "Cara will show you" and with that he turns on his heels and walks out. I let out a huge breath that I didn't know I was holding in.
Xaviers POV:
After looking through some files I walk downstairs to the kitchen and I hear heals on the marble floor. Arabella. I turn the corner. She looks ravishing. She's wearing a flower dress and cute pair of black heels. I tell her that dinner is soon.
I walk up behind her and I can smell the shampoo she used. "Hm, rose sent, interesting choice." Her face turns red as a beet root from embarrassment. I smirk. I walk away exited to see her at dinner. What was this woman doing to me.
Ah dinner is served. I have Arabella sit next to me, Leo, Cara, Lila, Ares, Kai, and Victor are also at the table. Andddd my sister. She barges in with a smile plastered on her face. "Ahh oh my god its the new girl!! Hey beautiful whats your name??" "Oh, hi I'm Arabella" She replies. "Wow pretty name, I'm Chiara. Arabella smiles at her comment.
'Hey big bro mind if I join dinner??" "Not at all" I reply rolling my eyes. "Oh commonnnnn don't ruin the mood" she whines. She then takes her seat on the other side of Arabella. God I can't stand this woman.
Once dinner is over Arabella leaves to go back to....well Our room I guess you could call it. I walk up there and open the door. There she is wearing a satin pajama set. I walk past her. "Good evening" I say. She reply's with a small "good evening".
I head into the bathroom to take a shower. Once I get out I slip on sweat pants. I get into the bed with her. She's already asleep facing the other way. I know what you might be thinking, I just need her to be in the same room because I don't want her escaping. Thats all. She technically is a prisoner but she hasn't done anything to me or to anyone so she doesn't need to be treated like one.
While thinking about this My eyes get droopy. I finally am able to get some rest after this busy day.
Arabella's POV:
I stayed silent for the full duration of dinner. Once most people were finished I excused myself from the table and head upstairs.
I picked out some comfy pajamas. Moments later, hewalks in. He makes his way over to where I'm standing and tells me good evening. I reply shyly. After he disappears into the bathroom and I scurry to the bed and face away from his direction. I tried closing my eyes so I could sleep away the events that happened today. I honestly just want to leave. I know if I go back I would have to endure the beatings but at least I can continue my work and studies. But here, I can't do anything. Who was this guy? How is he this rich? Where the hell is his family and why the f*ck does he carry a gun in his waistband of his trousers?!
I don't feel safe and I need to find a way out of here. Fast.
Hey luv's,
How have you been? I really hope you've enjoyed this chapter!!
