DANTE POV:
After getting Richard's call I felt a little  relieved. Sam had started crossing his limits with Richa and I wasn't liking it one bit. But I had to be calm and pretend I was on his side for Richard's sake. Yes I still really liked Richa and am still strongly attracted to her. But after making advances towards her that night I understood she did not want me. Especially after my and Richard's fight in the gym I realised he really had a thing for Richa and I could clearly see Richa reciprocating his feelings. So I decided to back off immediately. The only thing I disapproved of was Richard's plan of using Richa without her knowning. She was a strong woman and from what I researched, one of the best in her field. We could have told her the plan but Richard felt that would put her in more danger. After a long argument I agreed to Richard's idea even though I wasn't exactly convinced. I owed him for always having my back so I  had to be there for him too.
I was lost in my thoughts when Samaira entered the room . She was wearing shorts and a cute printed tee with "wOmaN rulE" printed on it. She looked gorgeous as always with a few  blond curls freely falling on her face while her hair were tightly tied in a pony tail. Just looking at her made me smile for some unknown reason. No Dante she is on the Wrong side remember ? She is not the Samaira sHe used to be, she isn't your lovely freind anymore.  I averted my gaze and pretended to not look At her.
" Oh hello mister? " she snapped her fingers in front of me to get my attention .
" what !" I said rudely . "hey don't snap at me ok. It's not my fault you are here . If it wasn't for that bitch we would all be happy . I could go back to Richard " she said dreamily. This time I felt disgusted how dare she talk like that after leaving Richard for so many years .
" You of all people are calling her a bitch .Then what are you huh ?" I said angrily . Suddenly she got up and stared to leave . I pulled her back down on her seat. She remained quiet for a while but then her face turned red as if she was going to cry out any moment . " what's wrong ?"I asked
" You think I'm the villain here ? Do have any clue how I lived all these years without him  ?" Her eyes had already become pools of tears by now ."What do you mean ?" I asked .
" That night when...I ..I left. It wasn't by choice . Sam had found me , he  threatened me that if I didn't leave he would kill Richard. At first I thought he was bluffing . But no he was like his father ,he wanted me . On the night of his party , I saw him there Dante . Sam was there in disguise but he had a gun in his hand . If I wouldn't agree he would kill Richard ." she stopped as her sobs became louder. I put my hand on her shoulder trying to comfort her. Eventually she stopped crying and continued her Story.
" I hAd no option left  Dante. I had  to do what he asked for or else ....he would kill Richard in front of our eyes . The worst part was that I had to be convincing enough to make Richard hate me . After that day I was so lonely and Sam forced me to date him but after a week I had had enough so I ran away from the city and lived in a small town away from here . I knew Sam would find someone else but he always kept tabs on me. He knew my routine , where  I went , who I mEt everything . Then after a few years he  contacted me saying this was my chance to get Richard back . Obviously I jumped at the opportunity . But here something seems off. " she said  thoughtfully.
I just nodded, still taking time to digest every piece of information I just heard .

Richa's pov:
After the call none of us spoke to each other. It was wierd considering my kidnappers weren't so peace loving . It was time for lunch and Dante bought me food to eat . At first I denied it but my stomach was getting really hungry . So reluctantly , I ate a little .
When I was done I carried my own plate to the kitchen . That's when I realised his house was large like really really large ....magnificent . I wandered around till I finally found the kitchen . I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see Sam checking me out from behind . Note to self -Sam loves checking me out so the first chance I get I would knock him . What the hell did he want now ?
I thought when he started advancing towards me in a predator like fashion . I kept taking steps in the opposite direction to maintain distance between us . Soon I was crushed between the wall and Sam's well toned body . He looked down at me with lust filled eyes and glanced at my lips ,licking his own lips in the process . I turned my head and closed my eyes. But I felt him lean closer and place a kiss on my shoulder . I was going to push him away when he locked my arms above my head and stood between my legs giving me no room to move . I gulped looking at his dangerous expression while he smirked . He came down to my ear and whispered " by now Richard believes I slept with you . He would be so angry but you know the most Interesting part ? He has Samaira now . You don't fit in his life Richa . Even if he comes here to rescue you he will choose Samaira over you . Plus he won't need to rescue you I will send you back if you agree to get those papers signed.I still love you. Be mine Richa and I will lay the world under your feet . Even if you don't agree to be mine remember one thing ...I still have my contacts back in India . One wrong move , and your parents will die . " Before I could react he pulled my arm and dragged me to another room . This room was different , it was filled with computers and devices . Two men were busy working away . Look he said pointing to a picture taken of my parents . I gasped when I saw Rahul standing next to a window in a near by building . Gun pointed towards my parents . Rahul was no doubt Sameer's freind but after he left me he was like a brother to me . He supported me throughout and now ...
As if sensing my thoughts he said
"money changes people "
