Here is Zayn and Arielle's life after all the abuse ended. They have children and somewhat happy thoughts... (If you didn't read Wicked Games, you have to in order to understand the plot and setting)

Revenge was all I had. He had everything of mine. He had my strength, my dignity and my heart. I wasn't one for vengeance but that's all he trained me for while I was captive. My wish to pull the trigger, will come true by midnight tonight. // Since Zayn Malik, Alissa has been clouded into insanity. Although she's free from her captivity for a few months now, she can't help but feel as if there's a dark cloud still lingering over her. Revenge is all she wants. // A very dark, dark Zayn fan fiction. If rape, human trafficking, sexual material or abuse offends you, this is not a story for you. If you're expecting a bubbly, happy romance, you thought wrong. Read at your own risk. (Part 2, Malik.)

"Why do they call it Shadowood?" I ask as we walk deeper into the forest. Old, dried up leaves crunch beneath my feet as I move a branch to the side, and drops of water from the trees above fall on my clothes from the recent rain.
