The extended honeymoon!

Her Escape

She had been planning her escape since the moment she was captured. This was her third try and she had wanted it to be fruitful or else Carlton would definitely kill her.

Carlton.... The name itself made her shiver, a chill went down her spine every time she tried to imagine what would happen if he'll caught her this time.

She stood in her balcony waiting for the right moment. She could see the guests arriving. Beautiful, wealthy men in black with gorgeous women in their arms, got out of their fancy cars and made their red carpet entry into the huge mansion.

Her room's door opened and someone stepped in. She didn't turn to look at who it was. She could smell him, his rich cologne, his attitude. He came up to her and stood just behind her and snaked his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. She dreaded his every touch and the tears were about to pour but she knew she had to be strong.

Just a few moments more E and then you'll be free. She reminded herself time and again.

"You look stunning love." His heavy voice broke the silence. She could smell alcohol on his breath. When she didn't reply, he leaned closer and kissed her shoulder from behind and pushed himself into her back. She could feel his hardness.

"The guests must be waiting for you." She said while taking a step away from him. He pulled her back and tightened his hold around her.

"Who gave you the permission to move away from me, miss?" He said in a sharp tone and as if to punish her grabbed one of her breasts and squeezed them hard. A little cry left her lips as her palms turned into fists. He then bit her hard at the very same place he was kissing a few minutes back. She bit her lip and tried not to scream because she knew that she would be punished for that too.

He then abruptly pulled away and turned her to face him. He eyed her body with his lustfull eyes. She was wearing a peach off-shoulder dress with a white belt just under her breasts, giving them height and volume. The dress gifted to her by Carlton ended just above her knees like all her other dresses. A beautiful set of pearl pendant and earrings completed her look with her hair held high in a tight bun.

"I wish I could just take you right here, right now. I hate that dress because it can touch every part of you right now." He took a step closer to her and kissed her roughly on the mouth. "Don't worry love, just a few hours of this nonsense party and then just you and me and then I'll fuck you all night till every bit of your body pains." He completed his promise that seemed more like a threat with a throaty laugh.

He then turned and left the room humming his victory. She stood their shivering with fear and anger. She knew that she had to leave tonight anyhow or she'll be struck in his gold prison till her last breath. She wiped her tears with the back of her hands and sat down on a chair just next to her.

She was startled when her room's door opened again. Martha walked in with her daughter Lilly who was dressed in the same peach dress and pearl set as hers.

"It's time, dear. Take this black hooded jacket and shrug, these would help you being covered properly. Lilly would make the entrance as you and would try to lure the public till it's possible. You just run straight outside the helper's back door where Jake is already waiting for you. He'll give you your bag and your ticket. Just get away from this hell as soon as possible." Martha completed her sentence almost in one breath. She and Lilly had been her only get aways apart from Jake, who was also Carlton's right hand. Martha was a housemaid and behaved like her second mother. The three ladies had tears in her eyes while departing.

"E, it's getting late, you should be leaving now. We'll take care of everything here. Don't worry" Lilly said hugging her tight.

E did as she was told and soon was standing with Jake. He held her delicate hands in his and looked deep into her eyes.

"I wish I could have done more for you. I wish I could have fought for you. I wish...." Jake's words stammered.

"Shh..It's Okay. You're still doing so much for me. I don't know how I'll ever pay you back"

Before Jake could say anything, his phone buzzed and so he answered it. His face was pale and his eyes looked worried. He finished his call and grabbed her shoulders

"He knows."

She backed away and was about to fall when Jake caught her.

"It's over. I can't escape now. He'll kill me, then you, then Martha and Lilly. Oh God, you all would die just because of me."

"E, listen to me" he said holding her face in his palms, "everything is going to be fine. Just listen to me. I'll take a few of my men and we'll start searching for you but not in the direction you'll be going. If not this then maybe I'll let them follow you for a while and then afterwards I'll order them to reach at the end points, telling them we'll be able to grab you better from there. But you just don't worry. I've promised you that you'll be out of here today and I will complete my promise through any possible way."

She hugged him for a few seconds and gave him a sad smile before turning and running away, in midst of everything, forgetting her bag and ticket behind. She just ran like hell, away from this life, away from the golden prison, away from Carlton.
