only yours darling

Part 26# Waiting

~Madelyn ~

It's been 3 weeks since I became a prisoner here and If I had to explain it in one word it would be boring.

In the first week I fought like a mad woman. Trying to find any possible way out of here. I didn't eat or drink anything the maids brought me. Until one day Lorenzo came into my room with a maid and my food. I put up the same fight throwing the tray on the ground until he had enough and killed the maid in front of me. He then warned me that every meal I refused would cost another person's life. After that I ate every meal they brought me.

In the second week Lorenzo had deemed that I was well behaved enough to leave my room. We ate every meal together. I was free to roam the house but if I wanted to go out in the garden I would have to be accompanied by Kai and I wasn't allowed more than 10 minutes outside. I was being kept as a pet.

It was now the third week and I was exhausted of being treated like a doll. I still wasn't allowed outside without Kai and even when I was inside the house I had eyes on me at all times. I had given up trying to escape. Everyone slipped up eventually and when they did I would have my freedom. Now it was just a matter of waiting. I currently sat with Lorenzo at breakfast as he scrolled on his phone silently and drank his coffee. It was black and bitter like his soul.

"I'm not hungry." I said and he looked up from his phone at my uneaten plate.  "Can I be excused?"

"No." He said and I clenched my teeth.

"Please." I gritted out.

"Eat your food Madelyn." He warned and I huffed picking up a slice of toast and taking a big bite of it. I chewed it aggressively and then looked at him.

"Happy?" I asked and he scoffed.

"You're such a child." He said and I laughed dryly.

"I'm not a child I'm just someone who's tired of being held captive!" I told him and he rolled his eyes.

"Too fucking bad." Is all he said before his eyes went back to his screen.

I was tired of being ignored. If he thought I was being a child before then I would show him.

I grabbed the side of my plate before sliding it off the table and hearing it crash on the ground. Lorenzo looked up at me slowly and clenched his jaw. There was a silent warning in his eyes.

I ignored it as I grabbed another cup from the table and threw it on to the ground. Then I picked up a piece of the broken glass and held it up to my hand in a threat.

"You won't do it." He warned and I smirked dragging the glass across my palm hard enough to leave a shallow cut.

"Stop!" He shouted banging his fist on the table and I didn't as I held the glass to my hand.

"You want me to stop?" I asked him menacingly. "Then ask nicely."

He glared at me and I pressed on to the cut with the glass harder as blood began to drip down my hand. He clenched his jaw so hard that I thought it might break.

"Please stop." He gritted out and I laughed. I dropped the piece of glass and his jaw relaxed slightly.

I couldn't feel any pain and I couldn't fight the smile on my face because for the first time in 3 weeks I felt an ounce of control over my life.

Just then Leo walked past. He stopped when he saw the blood dripping from my hand.

"Are you ok?" He asked me completely ignoring Enzo for a minute and I was stunned.

No one in this house spoke to me. They acted like I wasn't even there but not Leo. He was the first person to speak to me in three weeks.

"She's fine." Lorenzo answered for me but Leo ignored him as he walked towards me grabbing my wrist. He inspected my hand as I sat there shocked.

"She's fine." Lorenzo repeated harder this time. "Don't fucking touch her."

Leo cast a glance at Lorenzo before he dropped my hand and walked away without another word.

I cleared my throat and met Lorenzo's eyes.

"If that's all may I be excused?" I asked lifting up my hand. "Preferably before I bleed out and die?"

"Fine." He said and I mustered up a big sweet fake smile.

"Thanks honey you're the best!" I said in a fake over enthusiastic voice.

I got up and walked until I was out of Lorenzo's view and then I ran after Leo.

When I finally caught up with him I grabbed his arm before looking around to make sure there was no one around.

"You spoke to me." I said breathlessly.

"I did." He said .

"Leo you need to help me." I said still checking to see if there was anyone around. "You have to help me out of here." I whispered.

"Sorry the only way out here is through the garden." He said. "And as far as I know you're not allowed outside alone."

At his words my eyes widened. So there was a way out.

"Fuck forget I said anything." He said realising he shouldn't have mentioned the garden.

Then he turned around and walked away without another word.

I ran upstairs to my room and saw Kai at my door. He was permanently stationed outside my room because ,to put it in his words, "you are a risk to yourself and others"

I walked past him with a scowl.

"Backstabberrrr." I said in a sing-songy voice and he rolled his eyes.

I walked into my room closing the door behind me. Then I rushed to my side table opening the drawer and rummaging through it.

"Come on come on." I muttered to myself my eyes landed on what I was looking for.

"Bingo." I said with a smile pulling out the dagger from the drawer.

I had no access to weapons here and it was especially hard to get any with the constant eyes on me but this. I had this dagger since the day they kidnapped me . And by that I mean the first time.

When I released myself from the restraints and wandered to the table to look at the weapons. I pocketed a dagger before anyone saw me. I hadn't had a reason to use it. Until now.

Because no matter what I had to do. By tomorrow I would be out of here.
