Third Person's POV:

Sapphire was lying on a soft mattress. She tried to open her heavy eyelids. Eyes were puffy, red. Her head was pounding in pain. She tried to lift her hands but they felt too heavy. She lifted her right hand slowly.

Opening her eyes, she saw an unknown surrounding. She was in a large, cozy room. It was filled with luxurious furniture.

It was not her dorm room.

Where the hell am I?

She thought to herself.

Slowly her foggy mind began to recall her memories one by one. She went out to collect her lost bag, then the sudden encounter with goons, someone pressed a cloth in her nose and she blacked out and was carried to a car.

Oh God, I am kidnapped! Where am I? Who Kidnapped me. The voice I heard last sounded so familiar.

She was thinking of all these things.

She got up and sat on the bed. Then she tried to step out of the bed to stand but felt dizzy. She immediately sat on the bed before falling on the floor.

Supporting the bed she stood up, looking around carefully she went to the door but it was locked. Through the windows, she saw a garden, where two men in black suits were guarding. They even had freaking guns with them.

She used the restroom. Whoever kidnapped her was dangerous and powerful. She realized. But she was not the one to get scared and hide like a puppy. Whatever the challenge was, she always had faced.

Ignoring all her nervousness and fear, she knocked on the door from inside loudly. Then banged her fist on the door loudly. But nobody came.

Are they deaf people? She thought.

She kicked a few times, but no one came to respond. Suddenly she saw an intercom. She randomly picked a number and said, "Hello, where is this and who the hell are you people? Fucking kidnapped a girl!" She screamed in pure anger.

From the other side, she heard a light chuckle, " Finally someone got up from her beauty sleep."

"Bloody son of a bitch, who are you? Come before me and let me go. Bloody coward, you have drugged me!" She shouted.

"Don't ever curse me, I am coming and soon you will understand everything, my little disobedient girl." The line was hung up.

Sapphire threw the receiver of the intercom in the wall in anger.

She was sitting on the bed for thirty minutes but no one came. Then the door opened and a girl wearing a maid outfit came in with a tray of food. She came near the bed, set the tray on the bedside table.

She was about to leave, but Sapphire stopped her. Sapphire told her to take the food back with her and call her owner, who kidnapped her.

She gave her a nasty angry look at first, but soon composed her expression.

"Who do you think you are? Why my owner would kidnap a girl like you if you are not a traitor? So, keep quiet." She said showing a temper.

Sapphire became angrier. The nerve of that bitch! How could a maid act like this? Like owner, like maid. She wondered.

"What did you say, girl? Don't you know the manner of talking? Or you are also mannerless like your owner?" Sapphire said.

The maid scoffed at Sapphire. Her face showed anger and neglect at the same time.

Then suddenly the door was opened and a very handsome man entered.

It was Alexander. Sapphire was shocked to see him. He gestured the maid to go out.

He came near Sapphire and smirked.

"See you again, angry tigress. How are you feeling? Is your head hurting?" He asked caressing a side of her cheek.

"I feel like shit now. Why have you kidnapped me? Bloody coward! Let me go!" She yelled, removing his hand from her face with a jerk.

Alexander's face turned dark in pure anger. He pulled Sapphire to him roughly by her wrists. He held her waists with one hand and with another he cupped her jaw tightly. Sapphire tried to get free but dizziness and drowsiness from the drug didn't allow her body to perform its best.

Her chest was pressed to his body and he locked his hard eyes with her. He gripped her jaw tightly and she winced slightly in pain.

"Listen to me and listen good, I am talking to you for the last time to make you understand. Next time, I will not use words. You are mine. You can't go from here. This place is your home now. Don't fucking try to disobey or disrespect me. I won't like punishing you angel because I love you." He let go of her jaw and then caressing her cheek, planted a deep wet kiss.

Sapphire felt scared. Her heart was engulfed with fear of getting hurt by that beast. She felt helpless, weak. But was there anyone to save her? She was all by herself. She was not ready to let this fear for him win her self-respect over. Would he hurt her for escaping?

"Leave me, you disgusting creature! I hate you. And me staying here, as it were my home? In your dreams! I will leave at all cost, mark my words." She spat in a determined tone.

Alexander suddenly slammed her against the wall and caged her by placing his hands by her both sides. She cried out in sudden pain from her back. She was weak and feeling drowsy. Her stomach was also empty for a long time.

Alexander stood dangerously close to her face. Their lips were about to touch.

"Oh, you can pay all costs just to flee from here? Huh? Then darling let me tell you all your cost payments will go in vain and losing all you will be left with nothing. But even then you won't be able to leave here. I won't let you leave." He spoke in her ear and bit her earlobe roughly. Sapphire cringed in discomfort and pain.

She was thinking about what was going on and why was going on like this. Her head suddenly began to hurt severely and she began to see all blurry. She felt a heavy load of stress all of a sudden.

Alexander freed her body and ordered in a hard voice gesturing to the bed, "This is the truth of your life now. The more quickly you will get it through your brain; it will be good for you. Or else... Let it be. Sit on the bed and have some food, don't throw tantrums."

But Sapphire couldn't hear anything, let alone comprehend. Before Alexander could understand anything, she fell on the floor unconscious with a loud thud sound. Alexander panicked watching her fainting.

"Angel, what has happened to you? Open your eyes. Open your eyes!" Alexander asked concerned, gently patting her cheek and arm. But Sapphire showed no sign of opening her eyes.

"Angel, I am sorry, if I went harsh with you. Open your eyes!" He regretted saying all these harsh things to her. Carrying her in a bridal style, he laid her on the bed and called the doctor immediately. Her skin was going pale, palms were getting cold.

He quickly called the doctor. He couldn't imagine that she would end up like this. This girl was making him surprised again and again. Alexander called their family doctor. The family doctor examined her.

"What happened?" The doctor asked.

"She was chloroformed at first then she was drugged which must have made her unconscious for a day and feel her numb, " Alexander replied. The doctor asked him about the drug. Alexander told him the name of the drug.

"She was chloroformed but why was drugged? Chloroformed that you used was enough to keep her unconscious for a moment and feel her drowsy. Then why was she drugged? Is she suffering from bad stress disorder or does she take any nerve relaxing or stress-reducing medicine?" The doctor asked.

"I don't know. May be or may not be. Why?" Alexander asked back.

"The dose you used was not over and the signs she is showing, I think she most probably takes a nerve relaxing or stress-reducing medicine. Because of her extreme stress, it might be possible that she fainted. Her body couldn't take anymore so it shut down." Doctor added.

"What to do now to get back her consciousness?" Alexander urged in anger.

"Please don't worry and calm down. She will get her consciousness back at any moment. When she does, make sure to keep her well-fed, don't let her go under any stress or anxiety for now. And if she is in any type of medicine let her continue this."

"Okay. But how can you say that she takes stress-reducing medicines?" Alexander queried.

"Her body is unconscious longer than it should be and this can be a result of two types of medicine working at the same time, one was a sedative and other her stress-reducing medicine. In many patients, I have seen this who are under overstress." The doctor explained.

The doctor left. After an hour, Sapphire opened her eyes.

Sapphire saw Alexander was sitting beside her with a concerned face. And she was in a new room again. More beautiful, more gorgeous and really a large one. The room was painted in grey and white.

"How are you feeling now angel? Are you feeling bad still? Where does it hurt?" He inquired in a concerned voice.

Sapphire didn't say anything. She just said, "Can I have a glass of water?"

Alexander hurried to the side table to get the glass full of water and helped her drinking it. After drinking, she went to the restroom and after returning, lay down again.

"Angel. You are not well so get up and have something. Then you can sleep. Your food is coming here." Alexander softly spoke stroking her hair.

A maid came inside with a tray of hot soup bowl and pasta chicken salad. Sapphire was so weak and drained out of energy even to think anything. Her head was still aching.

She took a spoonful soup but it tasted bitter to her, the same with the pasta. She pushed the tray from her and again lay on the bed in tiredness.

Alexander sat her up and urged her to eat.

"I am fine but I am not feeling like eating right now. Please don't force me in this at least." She uttered.

"I wouldn't if this wasn't your health concern. Now eat or want me to feed you?" He offered smiling.

"No. Move, I can eat myself." With this, she began eating.

She finished the half bowl of soup and half salad. Alexander rolled his eyes and implied to finish all. Sapphire pleaded making a puppy eyes to let her be this time. Alexander smiled at her cute expression and kissed her forehead.

"You can take a shower if you want and clothes are in the closet." Alexander pointed at the closet.

She went to the bathroom and it had a large jacuzzi tub. The tub was enough big to fit three to four people. Shiny everywhere. She thought to take time and have a relaxing bath at some other time, but now she was in no mood for this. She quickly took a hot shower and came out in a bathrobe.

She was surprised to see the huge collection of women's clothes and underwears in the walk-in closet. They were all fashionable but decent. The surprising fact was every undergarment was of her size perfectly.

She wore a loose t-shirt and cotton short. Then she went to bed to sleep. Alexander was still there, looking at her, admiring her beauty. Her short was showing her soft creamy flawless legs.

"What are you looking at? You now leave the room, I need some privacy." She told Alexander. She felt pissed at how he was looking at her.

"I am looking at what is mine. Any problem? Have rest. I will return soon." Saying this, Alexander left the room. Though he didn't want to leave her alone, he thought to give her some privacy.

Sapphire fell asleep thinking about all happenings. She abruptly woke up due to a nightmare. She screamed. The same things of her past were haunting her. Her eyes were shedding tears and she was feeling difficulty to breathe. She shocked when she saw Alexander sitting beside her.

He queried, "Angel what happened? Are you okay?" He pulled her to him softly and placed her head in his chest.

Sapphire struggled a bit at first, but then rested her head on his chest and calmed down. She didn't like him, but at this moment, his touch gave her comfort. She felt safe and closed her eyes.

Alexander's POV:

I saw her having a bad dream. She was hyperventilating again. I pulled her to me to calm her down.

I was a heartless man, didn't know exactly what to do to make a person feel good when she/he feels down. I just followed my mind.

Why was she hyperventilating?! Was it because of her dream or has it anything to do with her past life?

Maybe I am overthinking. What if she is like this because of me? I have kidnapped her.

No. No. She is a strong girl. She won't be like this because of me. I didn't harass her. I just claimed what's mine. I can't help it.
