My life was peaceful untill he came along

Episode 1

I was on my way to college-going in a taxi when a car crashed into mine.

I banged my head against the car door and fell back in an instant.

I saw a man running towards the car I was in.

He opened the door and I fell unconscious in his arms.

I opened my eyes after a while and found myself in a strange place, and locked inside a room.

A man walks in. He hands his phone on his ears.

He looks at me and disconnects the call.

"Who're you?"

I asked confused.

He walks in and said.

"My name is Muriel Daniels,".

I repealed and a woman rides in with a tray of glass water on it.

Muriel asked her to give the water to me. However, she placed it on the table when I refused to collect it.

I searched around and found my phone. I had ten missed calls from Hanna, my best friend.

There better be a fucking explanation.

A hand covered my eyes and forcefully dragged my phone from my hands, I turned around and Muriel said I would be getting my phone when everything is done.

I jumped up to grab the phone, he pulls back and I fell on the bed.

He walks back to the door and looked at me before leaving. 

I heard the door lock outside. I jumped down and banged on it.

I hoped for a reaction rather nothing happened.

So, I returned to the bed and quickly sat down. My eyes became twitching, let alone my legs.

I had to leave, I needed to leave no matter what.

I heard someone approaching towards the door I was locked in.

I got up immediately and hid behind the door.

I lowered my head down and a woman walks in.

She had a dress in her hand and when she didn't find me in, she gets stunned and left in a hurry.

Luckily on her way out she didn't lock the doors, I held onto my phone tightly and ran out.

I came facing a huge mansion.

The stairs were made of glass and don't get me started on the decor.

I accidentally bumped into one of the maids on my way to the front door.

He looked at me with surprise immediately when he tried to scream, I grabbed a vase and hit his head.

I dragged him into the kitchen and came out running again.

It wasn't an easy task finding the exit, I walked outside and just when I thought of getting close to the gate, I heard a gunshot fired above my head.

I held my head and made a turnaround.

Muriel walks out with a lot of men standing beside him.

I held my face in shock and he grins seeing that.

"I can see you wish to leave?".

He slowly approached me.

"Yes, please let me go,".

I replied, holding my hands together.

Muriel got close, we both locked eyes, he tilted his head down and said.

"No, you're my prisoner now,".

I pushed him back.

The men standing behind all pulled out their guns and pointed them at me.

Muriel pulls his hand up and asked them to stand down.

He turns back to me and forcefully grabbed my neck.

I grunted in pain but he ignores and we got went back into the mansion.

He takes me to the same room and pushed me in.

"You're not going to leave here, Maria Jose, and the sooner you understand that the better you would get,".

He slowly closed the door and locked it, what the hell is happening?

I looked around to find an exit, I checked the windows and thought If I was to jump down, I'm not going to make it.

Muriel returns and I turned frightened by his presence. 

He wore a tux and walks to the bed.

There was a gown there and he picks that up and ordered me to wear it.

I pushed the gown down and swore I wouldn't wear it even though he points a bullet to my head.

Muriel laughed. He sees I was serious and takes his leave.

I thought he wouldn't be coming back rather he returns with a loaded gun and points it at me.

"So, are you going to dress up or not,"

He cocked the gun.

I looked up at him with no fear and disobeyed, forgetting the fact that I had a gun to my head.

He grinned and I heard the gun click. I closed my eyes in fear, I thought Muriel had pulled the trigger when I finally noticed I was still breathing.

Did he just try to kill me?

I looked as he walks to the door.

He grabbed the doorknob and warned that if I don't get fitted in that dress, the was going to kill me for real this time.

And he looked serious saying that.

Immediately, I grabbed the dress and ran into the bathroom to change.

It was a fishtail gown, red color to be precise.

I came down with a man following from behind. 

He rides past me to get the car door open, Muriel was seated in and he turns giving me a strange glance.

The driver takes off and I looked away trying not to meet his gaze.

We came to a beach house after an hour's drive.

Muriel comes down. He pulled his hands out thinking I came down as well.

When he turns and finds me still in the car, he comes and dragged me down by himself.

"You're so stubborn,"

He teethed.

I rolled my eyes at him, he sees that but decided to play dumb.

We walked into a huge party going on inside, a woman jumped out of the crowd and hugged Muriel, it wasn't just a hug, she kissed him on the lips.

Disgusting, get a room.

She finds me after the whole smooching.

Muriel pulls apart and she comes forward and called me the one?

I looked at her and asked what she meant.

The lady turns back and Muriel gives her a strange sign.

Immediately she changed the topic and dragged us both to a seat.

She sends for champagne and gave us glasses with a smile.

Can someone please tell me what the fuck is going on, firstly I was on my way to my bed friend's bridal shower but found myself here, forcefully taken by a stranger I know nothing about.

What is happening?

Who is the one?
