Isabella pov

"Wake up." I grunt in annoyance. I just want to sink back in bed. 

"Try to learn to wake up early." I hear Daniel  say. And then everything comes back rushing. I suddenly feel overwhelmed. Teras start welling in my eyes.

"Get ready and come down for breakfast." I hear Daniel say.

"I'm not hungry." I mutter and slump back on bed. I was feeling awful, my throat was sore and my head was throbbing.

"That was not up for negotiations Isabella. Get ready in five minutes, I'm waiting outside the room." He says before leaving.

I close my eyes. I did not want to go down.

Just when I was about to fall asleep again I felt hands enveloping me. I jerk and sit up to find Daniel staring straight at me. 

Then he picks me up. Fear surges through me.

"Put me down." I yell at him. 

"You had your chance, Bella." He says. I struggle in his arms.

"Daniel." It was just one one and it made a difference.

He puts me down. 

"5 minutes, I want you down." He leaves after ordering me. I sigh in relief. I would have let him do whatever he wanted.  I wanted to show him just how stubborn I can be but Anne's voice from yesterday stopped me. 

I know very well the environment of this house. And I know what is expected of me in this house.  Tears again fill my eyes,  how could Dad leave me here? 

Should I run away?

I wash my face, brush my teeth and straighten myself up. 

 I had no clothes.

I leave the room and find him outside. 

"Your luggage will be here today." Daniel says before holding my hand firmly in his and starts leading me downstairs.

My heart was beating.

We reach the dining room. There was eerily silence. I sit beside Daniel and everyone starts eating. I wasn't hungry. So I don't eat much and drink some coffee.

I just wanted to go...home. 

Daniel stands,  I look at him. 

"Go to our room." He says.

"Daniel-" Anne tries to objects but Daniel leaves. I dare not look up and run back to our room.  This house was like a castle. I walk to our room.

Should I run away? The thought still lingers there. 

It was suffocating here. I take a deep breath. I can sneak out,  take a walk and then come back. Even if Daniel comes I will say I was just wandering. 

The guards! 

They were going to be a  problem. 

I call Anna. 

"Message me 'Let Anabelle go out'." I hung up without another word. 

After 3 minutes,  I got the message. Then I changed her name to Daniel's on the phone. 

Bang! 

I was ready to go.

I walk towards the main gate. The guard stops me. 

"Man you can-" I showed him my phone. 

"Happy?" I ask him. He looks at him comrade and than sighing,  he opens his door.
