"Come here, sweetie," I called Emiliano who was crawling around the basement. I fell asleep last night and he somehow crawled out of my arms and now he was crawling around the basement and I can't get him because my legs are tied.

"Come here to me, huh?" I asked trying to get his attention but that didn't work.

Over this I think it was two days I'm not quite sure, people here were umm... somehow nice towards us? I mean they didn't put their hands on us.

On other hand, we didn't really even have any type of contact with them. Well except when they would bring food, but that would be while we sleep.

That man, Aleksei, he didn't visit us since that day. And I must admit I'm glad because he makes me scared.

I don't know but something about him just screams danger. Xavier didn't tell me much about him only that he is not a good man.

"Emiliano." I warned "Come here to me. Please." I said softening my tone at the end.

I was startled when I heard a jingle of the door upstairs. I looked in horror as doors swung open and an unknown man steps in.

"Emiliano." I hissed at him getting scared that that man is going to hurt him. I don't know what would I do if they do something to him if they hurt him.

The man looked at me over the railings than a crawling baby on the floor on another side of the basement. Lifting his head we locked eyes and he sends me a sickening smirk.

Putting his hands in the pockets of his slacks he slowly started to make his way down the stairs. His smirk widened when he realized that his slow pace is causing my fear to grow.

I looked at him not being able to move my eyes from his figure in fear that he might be going to do something.

He got near blabbering Emiliano and kneeled.
"Please don't hurt him." I begged looking at him with pleading eyes. He turned towards me rising his brows then picked Emiliano up in his arms.

"And what would you do so I don't hurt him?" He asked with something in his eyes that I couldn't recognize.

"P-please, don't hurt him he is just a baby." I begged once again as he started to walk closer to me.

"True. He is just a baby but he is also Xavier's son. Now, isn't he?" He said the last part with a sinister smile looking at the baby in his arms.

I stayed silent as he came to stand next to me roaming his eyes over my body. I self-consciously pulled my knees to my chest trying to hide.

He chuckled at my reaction and kneeled down putting Emiliano on the floor not taking his eyes off of me. He then turned his body towards me taking a strand of my hair that fell over my face swirling it between his fingers.

"You know I think I can see why Xavier took a liking of you." He said as he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.

He took me by surprise and I screamed when he grabbed a fistful of my hair and pulled me towards him, so our faces were almost touching.
