Honey?
The lady ran hurriedly out of the room while she looked around for the exit and dashed throughout the arcade when she spotted the staircase. ‘That’s it!’ Elle exclaimed after seeing a way out and glided down the staircase she wanted to stay away from him and to contact Richardson became her priority since only he could save her.
‘I have to leave!’ She reached the down hall without looking back to see if Sandro had been chasing her or not, she searched for the way out but instead reached the kitchen. The whole jury present in the kitchen became silent and dumbfounded after seeing the mistress standing in the door out of the blue, the situation scared them all.
One of them finally mustered up some courage and asked Elle, thinking that she had woken up early and perhaps needed something. “Is there anything I can help you with, Miss Romanov?” She knew her name, actually everyone in the villa recognized Elle since Sandro talked about her a lot with his brother and he had decorated her pictures all over the place too.
But nobody could sense that she had been panting heavily and seemed nervous, which was relatively a weird reaction coming from her. Elle knew that imminently that no one in the villa knew about her abduction and they all believed that she was Sandro’ girlfriend. “Ah! Yes, yes. Actually you can help me.”
She forced a smile on her face and calmed her breath along with her terribly pounding heart, which could be heard in her ears but no one else was able to hear her thoughts. “Where is the exit? Actually I need to go back immediately as I’m running late at the moment.”
Elle stated her matter while sounding as casual as she could, so that no one else would suspect that something was wrong. “So, can you please tell me? I fell asleep last night when Sandro brought me here, so I don’t really remember the way.”
Her words assured the staff that nothing was amiss since they all saw Elle asleep in his arms yesterday night. So, her words justified all the situations that the lady instructed her about the way out of the villa with a smile.
“Have a good day, Miss Romanov!” Her energetic and supportive voice came from behind while Elle finally saw the main door after running through the vast hall and two arcades. No wonder the villa was huge as suited to the Petrakis heir!
‘Finally!’ She became elevated after seeing the exit while she glanced back and found no one chasing her, though for one moment she felt guilty for hurting Sandro but she needed to save herself too.
As soon as the lady stepped out of the main gate, a slanting sunlight blinded her for a moment and she had to cover her eyes to adjust her vision. It was the moment when she realised the worst scenario.
“What the heck!” She saw nothing but a vast ocean in front of her eyes, and as far as she could see there was nothing but blue water everywhere. “No, no…. NO!” She yelled and heard her echo which scared her for the worst.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“This can’t be happening! No, no, what should I do now?” She was totally aware that she just hit Sandro with a vase and made him bleed, the man might not spare her anymore after what she just did.
And now there was no escape since in front of her was the sea! It was the moment when a helicopter appeared in the air which snagged her attention, and a beaming hope shone in her eyes. ‘Yes, that’s the way out. They all think of me as their mistress, so they all should hear my orders, right?’
The lady was unsure about the words she just uttered to herself, but there was no harm in trying it out. It was better than dying at the hands of Sandro on a remote island, where nobody would ever find her dead body since he might feed her to the sharks. The helicopter landed on the helipad nearby in the ground, while Elle ran towards the certain direction without giving it a second thought.
She saw a few men clad in black coming out of the helicopter, when she approached them with a stern expression. Previously she had been running but now she switched her gait to an authoritative one, so she could seem like the boss of the household. The men imminently halted in their places after seeing her coming in their direction.
“Hello gentlemen, since you are finally here,” She paused for a moment to keep up her pace of the quick persuasion and then resumed. “I want you to give me a ride back to Canada!” She placed forward her request which sounded more like an order, which deep down was a request or precisely begging!
“Oh? Okay, ma’am!” They too were aware of her status thus could not refuse her order and gave way to the lady to settle herself inside comfortably. Elle was about to step inside when someone grabbed her arm and pulled her backwards with gentle force.
‘NO!’ Her lips trembled while the words could not even come out of her mouth that she was soon pulled back, while the men halted imminently and a chill ran down their spines. Elle looked back only to see an angry Alessandro Petrakis staring at her while he was grabbing her arm.
“Going anywhere, honey?” His voice was calm apparently but Elle could sense the raging storm behind it. Her nightmare perhaps had grown longer and she was unable to wake up from it. The lady gulped down the hard lump of saliva down her throat, while she tried to say something.
“I… I was…” Her words got interrupted as he picked her up on his shoulder and began to walk inside. “You should not walk around recklessly, you know. You can get hurt easily or might get sick, you know the pressure of wind here is too strong for you, silly woman.” Elle couldn’t help but to shed tears as she smacked him on his back while yelling at him. Perhaps she was a caged bird now, but will Sandro ever set her free?
