All it took was a smile for Isabella Brown's life to change forever.
"Aiden please", I beg. My wrists were bleeding because of the friction of the ties and the cut on my leg was bleeding profusely. Despite all of that, nothing scared me more than A...

Aiden. The Kings. Aiden King. He's the son of Elimor King. Five years back, there was a big downfall of The Kings. For two weeks, no one stepped out of their house after evening. The police themselves warned us to stay at home because most of their officers were involved with the Kings. If the only source which is supposed to protect you is with the devils itself, there is nothing you can do. No one knew what happened, why it happened. Justin's dad was missing for those two weeks. They never filed a complaint or went out to search for them which was very suspicious to everyone. Justin's dad, Alaric was not a nice man. Wealthy, powerful but a cheat. He was always involved in embezzlements and fraudulent cases but was never convicted. Thankfully, Justin didn't join in his father's footsteps. He was secretive, yes but he was always like that. Since we were babies, I was the closest to him. He is my best friend, someone whom I can trust no matter what. I worry about the safety of my friends but can I do anything? No.
Today, Aiden literally threatened to kill my parents and made me remove my dress and tormented me. I did like the feeling of his hands on my body, I won't lie. It was something I've never felt before. But I know it's my body feeling this, not me. I remember feeling scared and weak in his presence. His bulge was underneath me and it made my whole body shiver in a way I cannot describe. His dominating presence makes me cower in fear. The way he banged my hand into the wall and slapped me has made me realize that this man doesn't care about hurting me. He thinks I'm going to do what he wants and I will tolerate all this. I might be scared of him but when the time comes, I know I will have to get out of here. The only issue is him knowing where I live. He has been tracking my parents and his men are at his beck and call. I'll have to think of something.
He said he will take me tonight. I'm not ready for this. I will never be. I always wanted my first time to be with the person I loved. It's a bit old schooled but that's what I like. Having that one person who understands you and sees you, accepts you and wants to be with you every single day. I don't want it like this. Yes, he's handsome and I would be attracted to him if I didn't experience the worst two days of my life. But his hands are red, full of innocent people's bloods, the cries of their loved ones and the curse of God.
I'll plead him, I'll do anything to avoid this.
A knock interrupted my thoughts and the door opened. A young girl entered holding a tray. She was tiny with a pixie cut. She didn't look at me and placed the tray on the side table. She headed back to the door before I could say anything and said, "Eat and wear the dress placed in the bathroom, Sir's orders."
Sir, my ass. I wonder if she will help me escape. Next time, I'll just trap her or something and beg her to help me out. She will know the whole house and possibly some hidden passage which will be my escape route. This ain't a story, Isa, it's reality. Ugh.
I headed over to the bathroom and it was exquisite. The shower was overflowing with a variety of ample supply of shampoos, oils, serums and luxurious products I could never afford. It had a translucent glass door and the shower had so many different settings, the latest technology perhaps. There was a soothing scent of my favorite candle burning and I was surprised. How did he know? I used to always use this scent in my bathroom after having a long hard day. It calmed me. Mint & sandalwood.
On the platform, lay a white transparent lace dress.

More like lingerie. It was beautiful, no doubt about that. I've seen lingerie similar to this while shopping. Must cost a fortune. I cannot wear this. If I do, I'll be completely exposed. There wasn't a bra or underwear with it. I have to only wear this. I feel the material between my fingers. It's soft, it's silk. What is going to happen tonight? Is he actually going to do it?
Suddenly the bedroom door opens. I keep my eyes focused on the lingerie as I hear his footsteps approaching me. I feel his presence behind me and I look up, seeing his reflection in the mirror. His hair is messy and he looks relaxed. He is looking at me in a way I cannot describe. I see his hands come forward and enveloping my waist. He pulls me closer to him and my head rests on his chest. He holds my jaw and tilts it to the right side exposing my neck towards him. He leans down and kisses the spot between my collarbone and neck. His eyes never left mine.
"Wear it."
He releases me, almost unwillingly and heads towards the bathroom door, leading to the bedroom. I know what's going to happen as soon as I wear this lingerie and head to the bedroom. He's too powerful. And I'm not.
Finding all the courage in me, I ask him the question I wanted to as soon as I woke up in his bed.
"Why me?"
Out of all the girls in the world, he chose a small town middle class girl? As much as I despise him, he is a good looking man. Good is an understatement, he could easily swoon women with his looks. He could be with models, actresses and the most beautiful women in the world. Why would he want me?
He turned around and looked at me and for the first time, in all sincerity he said,
"Because you smiled."
