Sapphire's POV:

I would never let him dominate me, my life.

I was a girl. So what?

I was not weak or a pushover. But he was way too strong. Moreover, this was his territory. He had me guarded always.

So, I had to be careful and plan wisely my escape. I would show him that nothing could stop Sapphire Atkinson.

The last two days went peacefully. He didn't bother me or forced me to make out. I barely saw him. The butler told me that he was extremely busy with business.

Good for me. The less I saw him, the better for me. Our encounter turned into a fight.

Today he entered my room with a man and a woman. Of course, he didn't show the decency to knock the door.

The man and woman greeted me politely. But Alexander didn't say anything to me. He was wearing a t-shirt and denim pant.

"What's the matter? Who are they?" I asked him.

"You will see." He replied.

Soon after that, few more people entered the. They headed to the closet and took all the dresses and left the room.

"What the hell is happening here?!" I shouted in irritation. He was acting like I was invisible.

Those people returned my room with many boxes. They unpacked the boxes and there were so many clothes. They seemed all brand new. Each and everything was mind-blowing and enough to make someone fall for. They placed the clothes inside the closet. Alexander ushered them again.

Then in my bed, they placed around ten to twelve boxes of Jewelry. They were all diamond jewelry. I was both surprised and quite annoyed at this. Was Alexander showing off how rich he was!

Did he even know how much money my father had deposited for me in my bank account?!

"What are these?" I asked him pointing towards the jewelry boxes.

"These are brand new jewelry sets and dresses for you, angel." He smiled at me.

"I can see that. But the question is, why are these here?" I demanded.

"Because I wanted to give them to you. My angel deserves only the bests." Alexander said replied and abruptly kissed my lips.

His eyes shone with sincerity. I felt small butterflies flying in my stomach.

No. He can't be sincere. It must be my delusion. He just wants to show off his money and monopolize me.

I thought to myself.

"They are professional hairstylist and beautician. If you need any hair cut or manicure, they will do it for you." Alexander stated gesturing to the man and woman who were still standing at my room.

"No thanks. Please tell them to leave because I have to talk to you privately." I said to Alexander. Alexander told everyone to leave.

They all left and Alexander sat on the bed facing me. Then he pulled me abruptly and made me sit on his lap. I squirmed and quickly got down from his lap.

He chuckled at my attempt. He was in a good mood as I thought. Otherwise, he would start manhandling me.

"Are you trying to show off your riches to me so that you can make me fall for your money? If you think that, then you are utterly mistaken." I affirmed.

Alexander's brightly smiling handsome face became dark as soon as he heard me. He roughly yanked me to him, gripping my both wrists. This time he used his brute force.

He made me sit on his laps and wrapped his two long strong legs around me. Then hungrily sucked nape of my neck placing my hair another side and bit me hard on my neck.

"Ahh!" I let out a yelp of pain.

I jerked his hands to release myself from him but he was stronger. He didn't let me go, rather his grip got tighter to the point that my eyes watered in pain. Kissing my ear, biting my earlobe he said, "Angel, I am giving you these as present not to show off. And what I want I can get it easily. To have you I won't need to make you fall for me. Don't misunderstand my sincere intentions like this. I am a person who likes to use force to get anything. But, you are an exception with who I am trying to deal with my heart. If you want to make me force you so bad then be ready to bear the consequence. Because I don't think you will be able to bear my force."

I was feeling heated. A weird sensation was growing inside my body as he was licking my neck, his heavy breath hit my skin sending tingles.

"But you can't keep me here forever. I will leave. So, don't waste your money and time on me. Everything is futile when my opinion is not respected in the first place." I spoke when my body wasn't protesting.

"Let's see. You will beg me to love you, touch you." He trailed his forefinger lightly from my forehead to my thigh touching all the way of my nose, lips, chin, neck, chest, waist. I shivered from his touch. I felt my nipples hardening.

"See, already you are liking it." He smirked.

He took a jewelry box and put a necklace on my neck. Planting a kiss on my lips, he left my room.

He wanted to have lunch with me but I refused. After today's incident, I would not dine with him. Who knew what might happen? I might lose my self-control around him.

Two days later, I opened the closet to take out a sundress. But I noticed that the last row was missing four or five dresses. It must be my illusion.

Who would dare steal my cloth? Might be I didn't notice, the last row had fewer dresses than the other rows. After all, the walk-in closet was huge. And I didn't keep track of all the dresses. I saw them once while they were brought here for the first time.

I was not interested in jewelry either. So I didn't even bother to check them even for once. Let them stay and get rusted.

Oh my bad! I forgot that diamond and platinum never become rusty.

I wore a simple baby pink sundress and tied my hair in a messy bun.

As I was not allowed to roam outside of the mansion, I wanted to have a tour in the garden. I had to lighten up my mood.

Suddenly, I took out the locket hanging with my necklace chain and took a good look over it.

It was a faded memory.

My dresses always covered it up, or it's covered by my bra. Actually, the chain itself is very long. So no one saw it ever. I hid it under my clothes.

It reminded me of a memory. The locket was quite weird. It was made of diamonds and white gold.

A gift from ten years ago. I didn't know why I had been keeping it for so long.

Might be because I wanted to believe something that was unbelievable from the very beginning. I didn't know why, whenever I touch it, I felt hope. A strange type of hope.

Alexander gave me many jewelries but I never touched them. I didn't even want to touch them.

After spending some time in the garden, my mood lightened up. The green nature, flowers, butterflies are so beautiful, and they always make me happy no matter how upset I am. I returned my room humming a song myself.

Suddenly I heard sounds of glass breaking. I turned to the window to see that window glasses were shattered and fell on the floor with a loud clattering sound.

Random and fitful shots were being fired from outside. I never saw this type of gunshot. I bend down and took shelter under the bed to save myself from flying bullets. Each time a shot was being fired, my whole body shook up in fear. I covered my ears with my hands and tightly closed my eyes shut.

A few minutes later which seemed almost forever, the firing came to a stop. I was still on the floor, under the bed. I looked at my hands, they were still trembling.

A panting Alexander rushed to my room wearing a business suit. It was obvious from his attire that he was busy outside and he reached home just now. His forehead was creased in worry.

Did he come here ignoring his important business for my sake?

Nah. It's not possible. He took notice of me that I was hiding under the bed. He strode to my side and bent on his knees before me. I got out under the bed.

"Are you okay? Are you fine, angel? The situation is being handled. Don't get scared." He said in a hysteric voice, hugging me tightly.

His hold was so tight that I felt slight suffocation. It seemed like his life depended on that hug.

"Yeah. I am fine. Leave. I can't breathe." I mumbled somehow.

His hold got loosened a bit he but didn't leave me. I was pressed against him, in his embrace while my head was in his chest.

"Who were they? Why did they try to shoot me? I never harmed anyone." I asked him.

"Because they wanted to hurt me by hurting you. They know that you are mine." He replied without any hesitation. I was surprised by his terse reply.

"But how can they enter? You have tight security. Unless..." I was cut off.

"I am also thinking about this. How can they invade? This place is impenetrable unless somebody from inside helped them. I am going to check all the CCTV footage and investigate thoroughly." He stated.

"Why don't you just let me go? Can't you still understand how different we are? I probably will not be able to love you ever. So, please just let me go. You can never get me except my body. Please let me go. If I go then you won't have to deal with this mess." I requested him, trying to be polite. But his eyes blazed in anger as soon as the words left my mouth.

"I will never let you go. You are all mine and I will protect you." He growled. Yanking my arm roughly, he grabbed my hair in a fist and pulled my face close to him.

I whimpered in pain but his grip on my hair didn't loosen. He fisted my hair more tightly and kissed my lips roughly while sucking and biting.

How could he act like this at this time when bullets were flying indiscriminately even a few minutes ago! He was definitely an insane person.

He let go of me and I was panting heavily after his forceful kiss. He bent lower and put me on his shoulder and started walking out of the room.

"Hey! Put me down! Put me down!"I struggled from his shoulder but he slapped my ass suddenly. I forgot my pain in utter surprise.

"Hey, madman! Did you just spank me?" I shrieked but he didn't answer. He entered his room and threw me on his soft bed.

"Yeah. I did. If you resist me or ever try to run I will do again." He said chuckling but his tone was firm.

"Oh baby, did it hurt very much? Want me to rub that place for you?" He questioned with a naughty smirk and leaned towards me.

"Go to hell! You pervy man!" I yelled.

I had to get away from this mad man. I must flee at any cost. He was a pervert mafia man.

Four days later, Alexander told that as this mansion wasn't safe, we must go to another place, which was safer.

"Where are we going to stay?" I asked him.

"California. It's my old mansion. Four days later, we are gonna leave for there. Pack as you like." He told me and left from there without saying anything. He seemed tensed and busy.

It was a good chance. I could use this chance to escape.

I took out some clothes and two jewelry boxes as my money back up. I would need money if I escaped and I didn't have any money with me. Diamond jewelries were expensive. They would help me if I sold them.
