WARNING: This book contains dark themes. If you are easily disturbed/triggered, do not proceed. For those of you who dare... Have you figured out what it is yet?
Elena:
Being caged within four concrete walls almost feels like a preview of my grave. 
We all know how unlikely it is for kidnap victims to return to the safety of their own home, how rare it is for them to ever witness daylight again. I have to make it.
All I have left is the flickering desire to live, the need to make sense of my memories and this constant ticking in my ear. 
It doesn't falter no matter where I am. From the moment I was taken, the sound invaded my very consciousness. What is it? Where is it coming from? What does it mean?

The Man:
Her secrets are my treasure. Her mind is mine for the taking. Bodies, bodies, bodies. Only she has the answers. And if I have to break my little pet to find them, then so be it. Elena is like no other. Want me to show you who she really is?All Rights Reserved
