*Adrian's point of view*
Not much has changed in the past three days. I successfully completed a mission two days ago, but other than that, nothing is really out of the ordinary.
However, the subtle feelings that I have for Linden have started to grow larger and larger by the day. For the past three days, she's been all I think about, day and night.
And, despite how much I want to have something with her, I can't. At this point, I'm basically chasing after someone who's taken, meaning that I'm just wasting my time. Not to mention the fact that it would just fall completely through.

I exited my house, walked down my driveway, and I got in my car.
"Remember, Adrian, you're only supposed to see if there's anything that they might want, and after that, you leave. No funny business whatsoever." I thought, as I started driving.

*Linden's point of view*
30 minutes later...
"You know what the rules are, right?" Ian asked me, as he put his hand on the wall behind me.
"Yeah." I replied.
"Alright, if you "know" them so much, then what are they?" He asks, as he puts his hand on my hip.
I take a deep breath.
"You don't want me to speak unless I'm spoken to, you want me to stay near you at all times, and you want me to address everyone as Miss, Mr, or Mx."
"And you know what your punishment is if you violate any of these rules, don't you, Little Rose?" Ian asks, as he tightly grips my arm. I wanted to tell him that he was hurting me, but I knew that would just make things worse. I just wanted to cry.
"Yes, Ian." I replied, as tears started to well up in my eyes.
"Good. Now get that frown off your face, you're too beautiful to be sad." Ian said as he started kissing my forehead.
"I love you, Linden."
"I love you too, Ian."
He playfully kissed me on my lips a few times, and after that, he started passionately kissing me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and I wrapped my legs around him, he pinned me against the wall, and I felt his hand go up my skirt. I liked when he was like this. As a matter of fact, I liked those moments when he wasn't hitting me, or abusing me.
"You are driving me fucking crazy. I want you so much right now." He said, as he broke the kiss.
"Don't worry, you'll get to have me soon, Ian. I'll be all yours soon."
Our conversation is interrupted when we hear the doorbell ring.
"That's her. Come on, babe." He said while kissing my forehead again.
I nodded in response.

*Adrian's point of view*
After I rang the doorbell, I waited for the door to open, and while I was waiting, I looked around, and I saw what every rich person had outside their house: a fountain and marble statues.
