Prologue:-
Zoe's pov.

He was leaning on the door with hands in his pockets. Those calm storming eyes piercing into mine with a blank look.
I couldn't read him. No one could.

His tailored suit perfectly ironed without a tie. His face sharp and stoic. His bulky figure made him look more intimating. I was so small in front of him. Powerless.
His dark hair messed up as if he had moved his hands in them uncountable times.
I wanted nothing but to escape. He moved his lips speaking something but I paid no head and looked away.
I gritted my teeth not able to move away because of the cuffs that binded me to the bed. The food tray lieing there incomplete and untouched.

He sighed and sat near me making me shrunk more into the bed post.

"Why is the food not eaten amore? Hadn't i already warned you to not defy me? And how many times should I make you understand that look at me when I talk. I don't like you paying attention to anything other than me." He spoke with a hint of anger in his voice making goosebumps spread through my body.

He moved closer, his hands encircling my waist pulling me into him. I cried and hit his chest but no use. He was as strong as a rock.
I couldn't do anything but cry at my fate. At the day i met this monster. He made my life hell.

He moved his hands soothingly in my back. Comforting me of the pain that he was reason for. He caressed my hair and made me look up in his light yet dark brown eyes. "Eat something darling. You're very weak right now. Don't make me force you. "

With that he pressed his face in the crook of my neck inhaling sharply. Making me cry more.
He exhaled and said, "Do we need to go through what we had previously again? Hm? No right? So like a good girl eat the food. I don't mind shoving it down your throat."
Still in my neck but his voice made me automatically comply to his commands.
I had enough for the day.

With another book. Wish me luck 🍀
