The Stern Man (Michael Afton x Reader)

10. The Lady, in Vulnerability

In an Unknown Place

Y/n shook her head side to side, she felt her body laid down, her vision became clear again. She took a look at her hands, bedsheets, and she gasped. The young lady sat herself up from the bed, she began to panic, her green dress was seen at the floor of the room, torn apart. She looked at her body, to where she now wore a burgundy silk robe with a matching long dress. " Who changed me?! Why am I here?!", the young lady began to scream, she stood up from the bed in a rush to make a run for it. But instead her right leg stopped her from her tracks, she fell to the floor with a loud thud as she heard the sound of chains. "No no no", Y/n unveiled her legs to see a thick chain on her right ankle, she was trapped in an unknown room, a random mansion. Y/n was in distress, her tears began to roll down her cheeks, she screamed for help in hopes of Michael to hear her. It was no use, she began to try and remember what happened in the forest.

A few Hours Ago

Y/n was simply on her way back from the river to meet with the Afton's once more, until a strange man strangled her, with the use of a cloth with a strange scent, to make her body numb and completely loose all control. She remembers hearing the man's voice, it was Henry Emily. The man once known to be a close friend to William, she knew from the beginning he was no good. If only she would have never gone alone to the river, if only Michael would have kept her company, if only she stayed back at the picnic area, none of this would have happened.

Henry's POV

My, that was much easier to do, it was pure ecstasy, my plan went well. The young lady has kept me intrigued ever since I first saw her, I couldn't stop admiring her, it was such a shame I wasn't the one to get to her first. Besides, William did hire me as one of his guards to fetch her off her apartment. That was fun, I must admit Michael has a good eye for girls, but I'll be sure to make her mine first before he can. Since I kept my close eye on her at the forest, it was only a matter of time before I could calm her down. I enjoyed seeing her in my arms, her back against my chest, in her most naive state. I carried her bridal style, on my way to the opposite side of the forest, so that the Afton's would not suspect a thing. My henchmen waited for me to arrive, helping me carry the young lady to the car. Once we were situated, I had the girl on my lap, resting her head on my shoulder, caressing her cheek. "You will be better off with me than with that twink", my chauffeur started the engine and off we went to the airport.

Since the Afton Estate is quite hidden, it took us around 2 hours to arrive at the Airport. Though our flight was not with any airline. That's because I made sure I bought my private jet to take us home. Upon making our way around the airport, arriving at the gates as security passed us through not suspecting the young ladies state. Within a few minutes, we reach the jet and the pilot, I step out of the car making sure Y/n was laid down, locking the doors just in case she decides to wake up. Greeting our pilot, my henchmen bought in the money to pay the ride as the others carried the young lady into the jet. It still surprises me to see her, her delicate body numb, in a sleep like state. I couldn't stop thinking about her.

As we all had gotten situated, I went to check up on
Y/n, she was laying down in one of the seats reclined all the way back. Caressing her cheek, "Don't worry, we'll be home soon dear". Then placing a kiss on her exposed shoulder, the dress was rather beautiful but I'd like to get rid of it. Soon the pilot had started the engines ready to take off, a couple hours more until we arrived.

Normal POV

Y/n remembered the words faintly, "We'll be home soon", along with the sounds of what seemed like an engine roar. It can't be possible could it? Her mind began to overthink, still on the floor, her eyes puffy of all the crying she couldn't help but still mourn. She knew deep down she was no longer where the Afton's reside, she was much farther away from them. The young lady crawled her way towards the torn dress, stretching her arms finally reaching it. She adjusted her position now on her knees, Y/n looked at the dress and held it tightly knowing that Michael is worried where she is. After what seemed like hours, the young lady's eyes were red, her breathing becoming heavy, she sniffled as she tried to stop crying. Wiping her eyes now laying upon the cold floor, for every time she moved her legs the chains can be heard rattling. Y/n was kidnapped, taken to an unknown city all trapped in the room. Soon, the door handle rattled, the young lady was scared, she adjusted herself, her back against the wall, holding the dress tightly looking straight at the door.

Once the door opened, the figure entered the room, with a raspy voice, "My, I'm glad you are awake Y/n". It was Henry, the young lady felt enraged as she cried once more. The man smiled approaching the young lady, "Please my dear, don't be scared, it's simply for the better". Y/n was hyperventilating, not knowing what to do or react to, Henry then kneeled down to her level. Looking directly at her e/c eyes, he smirked as he placed a finger on her chin to make her look directly at him. "Welcome to Ilgaz, Turkey my dear".

Y/n's voice began to stutter as she replied, "W-what?".
