No one's POV :

"I apologise to keep you waiting, there's something I wanted you to know" Robert said and he unwillingly revealed that Isabella had run away. Mathew was furious, his son was everything to him. Now that the thing robert told will hurt his son, and he couldn't bear the thought, "You're a TRAITOR!! You promised us to give your daughter to my SON!! What happened to that promise, huh?!" He shouted, emphasizing the word 'promise.'

But it seems like Richard had other plans. "Wait, dad!" Everyone looked at him, "I'll find her and bring her back" he said determined. "But how-" "I promise to search for her, and I'll marry her the DAY I find her!!" he said in confidence, and rage filling his lustful eyes. He wanted her at any cost, anywhere. He was obsessed with her, from the day he layed his eyes on her.

Soon Richard left the house, and an annoyed Mathew followed him out. The loud noise of the honk started as they drove off, and the sound slowly faded. Robert sat there, shame washing over him. Wherever Isabella was, if he got his hands on her before anyone else, he would surely commit a bloody sin.

Flashback :

Isabella's POV :

I woke up in my bedroom, still half-asleep, when suddenly I heard some commotion. I rubbed my eyes and looked around, only to find not one, but two maids sitting on my bed, chit-chatting away like it's a coffee shop.

I rolled my eyes, thinking about how they're just here, gossiping as if it's their own little hangout spot. I couldn't help but wonder what on earth they were doing here.

They noticed me stirring and quickly got up, "mam, are you awake?" One of the maids asked. I scoffed and replied, "As you can see." The maid then asked the other maid if they should start, and they both nodded.

Without any notice, they started undressing me. I pushed them away with all my might and shouted, "What are you doing?!" One of the maids explained, "Mr. Robert told us to get you ready, Mr. Richard is on his way to see you." I realized I had to pretend like I was cooperating with what was going on, but deep down, I knew I had to run away before I could meet those thugs.

I told the maids, "I have my own hands, I'll change first, you can do the hair and makeup after I get ready." The maids hesitated at first but eventually went out. I locked the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, I had to figure out what to do next. I remembered the rope I made from all that blankets, and searched for it everywhere and hopeless me stood there thinking, what if they threw it away? Ofcourse there's no way they will keep it, when I was going make an escape throught it.

I had less time now, i needed to make a new rope, out of my eyes corner, I spotted a cloth hanging out of the dustbin. What a stroke of luck! I pulled it out the rest of the rope and hung the it out of the balcony, tying it to the railing. Without wasting any time to collect my stuff, I climbed down the rope and jumped from the remaining end.

Present Isabella's POV :

I was running and running, feeling like I had never run so much in my life. It's been 30 mins, still i haven't managed to get out of this fu*king mansion. Tears were streaming down my face, mixed with the one lone tear that had dried up.

Suddenly I heard a loud bang. I flinched hard at the sound.

When I glanced back, I noticed that the light in my bedroom was lit up. They must have found out till now, so I knew I had to make a quick exit from this area.
