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

My trembling hands automatically came down and the pistol falls with a loud thud on the floor. Strength drifted away from my body and legs started to wobble like I will pass out. He came forward and wraps his hand around my waist.

'I don't have anything to do with your family and friends Tesoro. I told you, I only want you to be mine' he whispered closer to my face calmly. I looked up at his face and the only thing I saw is red.

'It was fine until it's on me Nicolas but if. If anything will happen to my people. I swear' I paused. 'I swear to my family I will destroy you. I will ruin your fucking world and burn it into ashes until you will left with nothing' I hissed in deadly tone. I know I can't stand in front of him but I also know I can go to any extent if anything happen to them without caring, who is he and what he can do.

He smirked wider; amusement lacing in his cold eyes and threw me on his shoulder.

‘You bloody bastard, leave my daughter.’ Dad screamed at him, trying to reach me but his men held him.

‘I am only taking what’s rightfully mine, Mr. Blackwood’ he said simply walking towards the door.

‘She is not yours! I am not giving her to you’ my father shouted in rage.

‘And that’s why I am taking her’.

‘No, put me down, leave me. I am not going back in your hell with you monster. LEAVE ME’ I screamed hitting his back with my punches but he didn’t care and kept walking but abruptly stop dead on his track when my mother’s crying voice came.

‘Please, leave my daughter... She is too innocent for you people, she doesn’t belong in your world. For god sake please leave her, she already suffered enough in her life. Please!’ saying this she break down in flood of tears.

‘Don’t worry. I promise she won’t die in my hands’ Nicolas said without looking at her. 

‘No, Dad, dad help me. I don’t want to go with him, he’s a monster. Please help me’ I cried helplessly.

'Leave my daughter, leave her' dad screamed and his words failed miserably to my ears.

'Leave me Nicolas, leave me!’ I screamed.

The men held my parents who screamed for me and tried to reach me. Another blow came at my father’s jaw when he tried to run towards me. I screamed, yelled, did everything which I can but the hold on my thighs are so tight. My hands were repeatedly punching his back with all my strength and scratching it with nails. He didn’t complain, neither tried to do anything nor said. He just walked out and threw me in his car. I tried to open the door to run away from him but it was locked. Screaming and crying I started hitting and banging the window helplessly. Michael came to him and said something in Italian before he sit in the car.

‘Don't take Edward with you. He is already losing his shit’ and saying this he took off.

I kept hitting and banging the window with my endless tears and then deluge in my sorrow and sat motionless. 

He dragged me in a room and locked the door behind before leaving. 

Everything happened because of me. I am back with him; all my efforts to escape him were waste. If I would have listened to him, if only I had obeyed him then nothing like this would have happened. Why I become selfish and escaped him. Because of my selfishness I put Julie, Chris, mom, dad, Alex; I put everyone in danger because of me. It's my selfishness and naiveté which brought everyone in this situation. Why I underestimated him even after finding about him, why I thought he will not be able to reach me, why I didn't go to police, why I didn't tell dad everything. How can I be this reckless I should have told dad that I was kidnapped, of course he isn't in department now but he would have done something, then why I didn't.

WHY. WHY, WHY?

There's no escape from him, their is not any escape from him.

 Everything appeared silent around me, and this silence and loneliness started seeping in me from all sides engulfing in its hold. I am again in his clutch.

Anger started rising in my veins burning me from inside. I don’t want to leave with him, I fucking don't. I searched around the room and in washroom to find something to fucking kill myself or him when he return back but there was nothing other than the bed, the room was completely empty. There was not even a single thing to destroy so that I could relieve my anger.

I cried, shouted, screamed in frustration and anger hitting and kicking the thick timber door until I got tired and my hands and legs started to hurt due to continues hits. The pain of getting away from my family again and the blame of putting them all in danger is too great to handle and I fell on the floor in a disheveled heap as my sorrow poured out in form of uncontrollable tears.

Bringing my knees closer to my chest, I wrapped my arms around them and wept my heart out. He found me again. Where will I go this time? I don't know what he did to Julie and Chris or my family, are they even safe or not. Who knows, whom should I ask?  

The door click opens and my grip on the knees tightened, digging my nails in them. I didn't looked up just kept staring at the marble floor. His slow steps approached closer to me and I stiffed more than before, fearing what's going to happen next, fearing of the devil but didn't dare to lift my head up. 

Earlier when I was with him I tried to escape him two times and both the times after finding about my attempt to escape, he put me through hell. The day I escaped him I knew I was playing with fire but without caring about the consequences I run away from him and now here I am, back in his bounds. 

He lowered himself on his toes, leveling to me.

'Look at me, Tesoro' his steel cold voice commended me calmly making me tighten my hold around my knees, my eyes fixed on the floor. I hate it when he calls me this; I am not his fucking treasure for his possession which he wants to cage. He releases a deep sigh and putting one finger under my chin gentely lifted my head making me look in his angry eyes, my heart palpilating wildly in my chest.
