David
Dream
I am running around trying to find something or someone but I just can't seems to remember what or who.
I go from room to room of the masion just to be met by silence and coldness.
Just as I am about to give up I see a person, I try to reach that person but she doesn't turn around when I call her.
As I finally get close to her she falls to the ground, I hurry to help her.
She is now in my arms but her beautiful hair hides her face from me, with one hand I take the strands of hair way from her face.
No!
This can't be happening, it's My Ela!!
I notice that she is barely breathing, her eyes are full of sadness causing my heart to break into smaller pieces.
"Finally you are in my arms, Ela".
As she is about to respond I am able to her someone saying, "My flower where are you?".
This seems to frighten my beautiful Ela.
"Him... Stev..."
She is about to say something, but she can't finish it because I wake up.
I wake up from the dream that is more of a nightmare.
Sitting up still in my bed while I just think about how life has been this couple of weeks.
I have not been able to eat or sleep properly for the past month since my love was taken away from me.
Going back a month ago just brings me back to the horrible feeling of failure, yes, failure because I could have not informed Ela that I would be coming to Spain.
Maybe it would have prevented for whoever that has her from kidnapping her.
Everything just seems to be useless.
Time, well time seems to be going extremely slow.
Mateo's people have and are still helping us locate my Ela.
Mateo, well he is getting better, Athena and everyone that cares about him were worry because he wasn't getting any better at first.
His injury has gotten better and since stress is basically killing the both of us we have been working out at the gym for hours everyday.
It seems to take some of my anger away when I punch the boxing bag.
I can't lose hope of finding her.
With my determination and knowing that Mateo is a man of word, I know that him and I will bring back my beautiful Ela.
I just hope that Ela has not giving up.
I know I am taking a long time to find her, but if finding her is the last thing I do, so be it.
Mateo
Athena, my wife has been extremely affected by Belle's kidnapping.
She has lost some of her shine, her happiness.
I have tried everything to make her forget for some moments about the circumstances that we are in, but to no result.
David and I have been training at the gym everyday.
For me training helps get my frustration out.
I have seen that David also seems affected by Belle's absence making me question myself, but maybe I am just imagining things.
Poor guy, he is helping me with everything he has and I am being paranoid about him.
I will take lunch which I have prepare for my beautiful wife.
I made her favorite dish, I hope that this can somehow bring some happiness to her even if it's just for some moments.
In Mateo's and Athena's Bedroom
I enter our bedroom and right away I see Athena sitting down on the bed lost in thought.
I speak while holding the trait with some fresh orange juice and her favorite dish.
"Love, I prepared your favorite dish".
She looks at me intensely before she stands up quietly then she proceeds to walk to where I am standing.
She is now facing me, she reaches out with her right hand to caress my cheek in a caring way.
Just this simple action brings warm to my heart.
I place the trait down as I hug her like she will fade away from me.
One thing is for sure and that is that I will always love Athena, to the end of time.
She opens her mouth and says, "I love you, Mateo".
"And I want my daughter to be with us".
I give her a kiss. "She will be, I promise you that".
Belle
A month, I can't believe I have been trap in this house with Steven and his men for a month.
I worry about my father's and David's safety.
A couple of days ago I heard Steven's men talking about how they got guns shipped to them.
I wonder what is Steven affiliate to since he has guards everywhere 24/7 around the house.
I know this because Steven has given me a "tour" of the house, he actually did it to show me that if I try to escape one more time it will not be pretty.
All my intentions would be useless since he has triple the security since my last "dumb plan".
In a room
Steven came in to the room that I am currently staying at, I was already in bed trying to sleep since I my body demands it.
I can't sleep while knowing that anything can happen to me, like now.
He came in and thought that I was sleeping since he took his clothes off and tried to cuddle up with me.
I, off course was not going to let that happen.
The only other person that I have share a bed with was with David.
I am now standing far from the bed as he just lays on the bed with both his arms in the back of his head.
"I already told you, I don't LOVE you, I LOVE DAVID!" I scream at the top of my lungs so Steven can get the message.
He stands up from his resting position and walks over to me.
A sting creeps upon my right cheeck due to his harsh slap.
I place my right hand one my right cheeck that now feels warm from the slap.
"YOU ARE MINE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND, ONLY MINE!!"
He screams at me while be pulls me by the hair making my face be closer to his.
Pain is what I feel at this very instant.
I try to create some distance between us but he is stronger.
He leans in and kisses me, I just stand there not replying to his kiss.
I feel disgusted when he forces me to kiss him.
He knows that I won't reply to his kiss so he stops kissing me.
"You are mine whether you want it or not".
He gets up and leaves the room only in boxers.
He doesn't even take his clothes with him.
After the door closes harshly after him I start to cry intensely.
Why does this have to happen to me!!
I know it's a terrible experience but I must not give up, not now at least.
