She is the one by Asheslove (book recommendations for young adults txt) 📕

'No...You...You didn't and nor do I. Stop Nicolas, just stop here, don't say these things, stop talking' I sniffle placing my hand on his chest to stop him from rambling stupid things.

'I just hate you, I hate you and I hate you so fucking much' my words failed miserably to my own ears.

'I know you do, I know how much you hate me and want to see me suffer and pain in my eyes for all what I've done to you, I can see it in your eyes. I know you obey me and staying with me just because you fear me and what I might do to your parents and in spite of everything, you like the monster in me and grown on this monster.

And I also know you don't want to accept it but it's true'

'No...No, please don't talk, please' I blabbered shaking my head in denial as tears leak from my eyes.

'Your lips can lie but your eyes can't darling. Your eyes are mirror to your soul, you are an open book to me love which I can read even with close eyes. You hate me but now it's not only hate Elena.

You become mine and I yours whether you accept it or not. Even though you don't trust and believe me because of everything I did but I promise I'll win you over and after that you're mine forever' he said wrapping his arms around me kissing the crop of my head stroking my hairs while I cried shaking my head in denial which was buried in his chest.

'Nic' Sophia knocked on the door and Nicolas immediately parted away.

'I have to go' saying this looking at me apologetically and pecking my forehead he opened the door and left the bedroom and it felt he plunged the already stabbed sword deeper in my heart than before.

********

The next day seems like one of the most horrible day of my life.

I couldn't sleep whole night changing sides on bed in fear and tension of what's coming tomorrow and wake up early in morning

Since Nicolas attention was more on his enemies for now instead of cops so I was a little relieved, yet the fear won't settle down inside me.

The day seems longer than usual and it was just the beginning, every minute felt like an hour to pass.

As the day was passing I felt myself panicking more. My ears become attentive on smallest of the sound thinking now it's time. Even with AC on sweat won't disappear from my temple.

Later the afternoon lily too arrived and I realized how much she is friendly with Sophia and all other members. 

With Sophia along I learned many things about her while talking waiting for the right moment to arrive.

I came to know she was no one but the real daughter of Dimitri himself. I was in shock when I heard that. I can never think to go against my own father even in my dream so when I asked her why she was on Nicolas side in this war instead of his own father she told me her story.

Her father was nothing but a bolt in name of father; he was no less bastard than a monster himself. Her mother was killed at early age and after that all the days she spends with her father were like hell, he tortured her and used to beat her to the extent of death whenever he wanted. He wanted a boy as heir for his business and was disappointed when Sophia born. He even sold his own daughter to his partner in return of a business deal when Sophia was only seventeen. 

I was too shocked to hear her, how can a father do this to her own daughter but it was Dimitri we are talking about. 

The person who brought Sophia was in sex trafficking business. He sold Sophia in hefty amount and she somehow ended up in the girls whom Bethany purchase and sold. In spite her father being a bastard she was his daughter and she was badass. 

She grow up in blood, looking her fucking father killing and slaughtering people so she stabbed the man who was the owner of selling women their when her turn of purchase came, and captured the eyes of no one but Edwards brother who manages trafficking business with Edward that time and he immediately took Sophia as his, that time they don't know she was daughter of no one but their enemy.

It was Nicolas who saved her when Dimitri found about it. After that they came to know that she is daughter of Dmitri since then she's been working and living with them and never looked back, her life here was much better than with her own father.

It's because of Sophia Nicolas and Leo was able to burn Dimitri with his house. Their plan was to burn Dimitri alive with the mansion but he somehow managed to escape which explains the half burnt scare on his face.

Sophia is destined and born in this world so she chose it but it's not same for me.

After hearing her story all I feel is how much grateful I am to have such loving father and family who loves me with their everything. It's been more than three months since Nicolas kidnapped me again after my escape and I hadn't seen or talked with them, it will never be normal for me to stay away from them. 

The only time I heard about them from Nicolas is when he have to threaten me or to tell they are fine, nothing more nothing less and I know they are far away from fine knowing I am here. Dad maybe can remain strong but the condition of my mom definitely must be horrible and bad by worrying about me.

Hours passed and I started feeling like Lily has no intention of leaving anytime soon. Even though I like her yet I don't want one more person to increase my tension and headache with many others already in house so I finally asked her when she'll leave but to my disappointment she told she decided to stay for dinner since everybody is here. I told her others are going to remain here for the next few weeks and she can stay any other time but she was adamant on not leaving so when I left with no choice I forced a fake smile becoming more stressed and irritated than before as now here one more person is added.

The hours passed, day passed on as usual and my fear started to grow more. I started to lose my head and hopes started to die, fading slowly when neither any news came and nor anything happen.
