Chapter 23
Arielle ran for the door, she couldn’t stay here, she could never stay in a place like this, with a man like Luciano, if his men could hit her and abuse her verbally then what couldn’t he do, she had asked Lydia, the lady and what she told her in the thirty minutes they were together was enough proof that Luciano was indeed a monster, a freaking nightmare and the devil himself, she needed to leave, she didn’t care if she becomes a fugitive in a different country, she just needed to be out of this house and then figure out how she will leave because, his men took her money, technically, it wasn’t hers but Luciano’s, she got them from selling the clothes but she knew the men were not going to give him the money, she wished they hadn’t taken it from her, anyway, she needed to get out of here and she was determined to, it had shocked her when she had opened the door and he was standing there, he didn’t stop her as she had thought he will, well she just hopes he changed his mind and wants her gone.
Arielle ran around trying to find the exit out of the mansion, she had tried to remember the details when those evil men had to lead her into this place but there were so many similar doors and her heart was pounding so hard that she could barely make out left from right, she was finally about to find the exit door and thankfully it was open, she ran outside and look in the direction she knew they had come from after getting out of the car, she knew there was security out there but right now, she didn’t care, they would probably shoot her and kill her but she just didn’t care, it would be better to be dead than to face Luciano, she ran down the lane towards the main gate which was like ten or fifteen minutes away from the main house, her tired body didn’t stop her, just when she thought she was at the gate, she came to a dead end, she couldn’t remember where to go.
“Oh God, no,”
She cried looking left to right, it was darker in this part of the mansion and she couldn’t see much, it was quiet too, she hadn’t thought about anything while she ran away, and neither did she observe her environment.
“If you were smart you would have already figured out that there is no way out of here, but I guess you are not smart after all, I mean it is obvious,”
She heard his voice, and turned, he had been following her? She had been so focused on getting out of there that she didn’t even stop to look back, she just wanted to get out of the damn house.
“Stay away from me, I am going to leave this place and you can’t stop me,”
She said, running in the left direction.
“Stop running already, and that place leads to the dog house, they are scary as fuck,”
He said and she stopped, she feared dogs and had a phobia for them, when she had been ten, a dog had bitten her and she landed in the hospital, she still had nightmares sometimes.
“Why? You scared of dogs? There are humans who fear dogs?”
He asked, it was clear that he was mocking her and she wanted to hit him so hard.
“Leave me alone,”
She let out as she tried her luck to pass by him because she was sure that was the right way to go, bad idea because he caught her and held her tight.
“Let me go,”
She let out slapping his chest.
“Enough, I have had enough of your games, time to go in,”
She said pulling her along.
“Let me go!”
She said dragging her hands away from him.
“Do you really think you could hide away from me? You think you can run away? You look pathetic trying to, don’t you see,”
Luciano asked and she glared at him, she was determined to get out of here one way or the other and she wasn’t about to let him stop her.
“Just let me ho, I don’t owe you anything,”
She answered.
“You little witch, do you know what you have cost me this evening with the stupid stunt you pulled? You don’t owe me a thing you say? Well, let’s just say, aside from your overstanding former debt, you added more today, I got humiliated because of your stunt and you are going to pay.
He let out grabbing her, she tried to let go but his grip on her was strong.
“Answer me, witch, do you know?”Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Luciano asked still holding her too tight.
“I can’t even breath, how would I talk?”
She managed to say, his grip on her reduced but he didn’t let her go as he just grabbed her and practically carried her over his shoulder as if she weighed nothing, well she was a little underweight, she try to fight him to put her down as he started carrying her back into the house.
“Put me down, let me go, you bastard, let me go,”
She cried, hitting him but he didn’t respond, he just continued on his way into the mansion, no one who they passed on the way gave a fuck that there was a wailing woman, why would they? They were practically like her too, all slaves but she wanted to be different, she wasn’t the type to bite but he wasn’t giving her any choices so she sank her teeth as hard as she could go into his back, he let out a groan of pain and dropped her on the ground.
“What the fuck?”
He yelled but she didn’t wait, she took the opportunity and made a run for it but unlike before, he didn’t let her get away, he ran towards her and caught up with her in no time, biting him must have set him off because he looked angrier, he didn’t say a word to her and just grabbed her and started dragging her towards the house.
“Let me go! Let me go I beg you, I don’t want to be here,”
Arielle pleaded but the bastard didn’t listen, he just kept dragging her with him, not even stopping to check if she was okay, she tried to free herself but it was useless against his powerful grip, before long, the huge door opened and she was inside the mansion again, he dragged her with him upstairs.
“I told you to let me go, this is a crime, you are holding me hostage against my wish,”
She yelled and that got him to stop for a moment, he turned to her and smiled, the smile, it was everything she knew and hated, yes, he just told her with that one smile that he could get away with everything, here in Russia, people like him had power, the law? It was him, crime? That’s if he decides it is a crime, she bit down hard on her lips willing herself not to cry again, there was no point in crying or pleading because it was clear he wasn’t going to listen and she wasn’t going to give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry, the door to the run she had ran away from opened and he dragged her inside with him, pushing her on the huge bed with him, Lydia was no longer there.
“You little witch, you are going to get what is coming your way because you asked for it,”
He said holding the place she had bitten, he looked so angry and scary.
