I lay comfortably in a bed that feels like laying on a cloud.

Everything hits me harder than a ton of bricks and I remember everything. Going to the mall alone, hitting strange man, and then bam knocked out.

My heart races and I lunge off the bed. My head is pounding and I feel so dizzy.

Okay. Okay. Calm down. I tell myself. I take deep breathes and familiarize with everything with one thought on my mind. Escape.

A door is on the right but it is locked. It looks like a regular door except for it has a giant code lock on it.  There's a bed, two bedside tables and to my left is a bathroom. I walk toward the bathroom and see double sinks, a massive shower and an overly big bath. This has to be a mansion, everything is so big. I try to stay on task by not gawking at everything.

Making my way to the bathtub there's a window above it. I pound at the window hoping it'll break.

A beep goes off and I turn my head quickly. Too quickly. My head spins for a bit. While I try to regain my control, I step outside the bathroom to see a strange man. I grasp the door frame for support as my feet wobble.

"Who are you! Why am I here! What do you want from me!" I scream all at once in a jumble of a sentence.

"Good morning principessa." He says pushing his curls back. (princess)

"Tu vas me laisser partir. Maintenant!" I fume. (You are going to let me go. Now!)

"French?" He smirks.

"I am very serious. My dad will find me! And you'll be in trouble." I cross my hand over my chest.

That's when I notice I'm no longer in my shirt and leggings. I'm in a black silky nightgown that reaches mid-thigh.

"Who dressed me!" I demand.

He walks toward me slowly making me feel like a prey and he's the predator.

"You just now noticed." He chuckles lightly. "And your father knows I have you." His hand lifts my head up slightly by my chin to look into his eyes. 

I realize then how tall this man is. His eyes meet mine and swirls of gold dance between his eyes.

"Don't. Touch. Me." I growl out.

"Now that. That attitude has to change. I will not allow you to speak that way to me. I had a little chat with your old dad, today actually, and guess who's mine now?" He raises his eyebrows.  "You." He says grimly.

"What," What could that even mean? Forever...why would my dad ever leave me?

"You're dad is a cheat. We made a deal and he went behind my back. I happened to find you. It just worked out." He says nonchalantly.

"I am not anyone's property." shake my head to rid his hand. "Why-Why would he do this...?" I think out loud.

"Come on now, let's eat." He grabs my hand like what he just said was nothing.

I stand dumbfounded and try to process everything before I was interrupted by the rude man.

"Elise."

How does he know my name.

I press my feet down harshly not allowing this beast to move me.

"Elise. Move" He states rudely.

Maybe I can escape if I go where ever he wants.

I follow him blindly down the hallway, down the stairs, to a table, and then to be seated. I think of my possibility's and zone out. Only to zone in with a whole feast in front of me.

"Eat." He demands.

"Not hungry." If he thinks he can just have me because my dad practically sold me off to him he has another thing coming.

"I don't care if you're hungry or not, eat." He takes a bite of some type of quiche.

"No." I say stubbornly.

"Don't make me stuff your mouth full of food. You will eat."

I roll my eyes. To that he gets up from the opposite end of the table and walks over to me. I peer through my lashes with a scowl on my face. He grabs my fork violently until a little lady walks in.

She looks a bit older and stares down at the beast. Her eyes remind me of this rude man. Golden silky hair casts down her shoulders and she stands sternly with her hands on her hip. "Alessandro. I come to visit you and I see you trying to force a girl to eat? She obviously doesn't want to eat!" She snaps.

"She has to e-"

"She doesn't want to eat." She cuts him off.

He drops the fork so hard I flinch, thinking the plate would break under the pressure.

I scrunch my nose at his back and turn toward the lady.

"My my. É cosí bella, Alessandro. You better take care of her." She warns. (she is so beautiful)

"I am trying." Alessandro grumbles.

Bullshit. This man is a total stranger forcing a fork down my throat. I feel like I'm hallucinating.

I look at the lady as she holds my face with warmth. "You look like you love to shop. Am I right?"

I smile and nod my head up and down. Perfect escape plan.

"She's staying here today." Alessandro states.

I glare daggers into his head with my eyes but stop when he gives me the same glare.

"Fine. One day bella" She pats my shoulder before leaving. (beautiful)

I sigh audible loudly.
