Aurora's POV
I tried to pull away, but Ryder's grip only tightened. "Let me go, Ryder. I mean it."
"Aurora, you're not going anywhere," he said, his voice low and husky. "You belong to me now."
I struggled against him, but he was too strong. "What do you mean? I don't belong to anyone!"
Ryder's eyes locked onto mine, burning with intensity. "I fell in love with you the moment I saw you in the cafe. And I've decided to make you mine."
I shook my head, trying to process his words. "No, Ryder. You can't just decide that."
He smiled, his eyes glinting with determination. "Watch me."
Before I could protest further, Ryder swept me up in his arms and carried me to a luxurious bathroom. Maids appeared out of nowhere, filling the tub with warm water and fragrant bubbles. They bathed me, dressed me in soft pajamas, and even styled my hair. I felt like a prisoner, but a pampered one.
As I descended the stairs for dinner, Ryder's eyes followed me, making my skin tingle. I avoided his gaze, feeling like a trapped animal.
During dinner, two men entered, speaking in hushed tones to Ryder. "They were hired by the rival family, boss. They won't bother us again."
Ryder nodded, his eyes never leaving mine. "Good work, boys."
After dinner, Ryder led me to his bedroom, pulling me close as we lay down. I felt trapped, but also strangely safe.
"Goodnight, Aurora," Ryder whispered, his breath warm against my ear.
I nodded, my heart racing. What had I gotten myself into??
I woke up to Ryder's gentle touch, his fingers tracing my jawline. "Good morning, beautiful."
I turned away, trying to process my feelings. I was trapped in Ryder's mansion, but a part of me felt drawn to him.
"Aurora, look at me," Ryder whispered, his voice husky.
I met his gaze, my heart skipping a beat. His eyes burned with intensity, but also with a hint of softness.
"What do you want from me, Ryder?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.
Ryder's smile was slow and calculating. "I want everything. Your heart, your soul, your body, your love."
I shook my head, trying to clear the fog. "You can't just take those things, Ryder. They have to be given willingly."
Ryder's eyes glinted with determination. "I'll convince you, Aurora. I promise."
And with that, he pulled me close, his lips claiming mine in a fierce and passionate kiss. I struggled to break free from the kiss which only made him hurt my lips, making me taste my own blood. He soon released me after I was suffocating.
"Ouch!" I winced in pain.
Get ready and come downstairs.
