GLYNDON
The air reeked of blood, danger, and fear. My heart pounded in my chest, each beat loud in the silence—only broken by the slow, rhythmic drip of water hitting the cold stone floor.
I kept my eyes shut. Not because I wanted to—but because I was terrified of what I might see. Monsters belonged in the dark, and I was certain the thing that dragged me here was one of them.
His eyes glowed a deep, menacing red. Long, jet-black hair spilled over his shoulders like ink, and his skin—so pale it bordered on ghostly—looked untouched by the sun.
He was tall, an epitome of elegance and dominance— he had a way of eating up my surroundings and air with just his presence. His demeanor was that of a Prince, charming but insanely dangerous.
He walked closer to me, his shoes clicking against the stone floors, the sound so loud so deadly that it made goosebumps spread over my skin.
His red dark eyes boring straight into mine— so much so that I felt it down to my bone marrow no, to the depths of my soul.
" Glyndon." He called my name like a vice, his voice dangerously low. My heart skipped.
" What do you want from me? I'm just a lowly girl?" I said, struggling with the ropes which bound me still. I would've run away a long time ago but he didn't give me an option.
He gave me a look before speaking.
"I should kill you, but I'm not sure... yet." He said.
I didn't even hear the last bit, all I heard was that he said he wanted to kill me. Why would he want to kill me?
" I didn't do anything to you, why would you want me dead?" I asked, trying to sound brave but I knew I failed, I knew he could clearly see the fear which lingered in my eyes.
" I don't owe you that explanation." He stared at me, his voice coming off in a subtle grumble.
Then he moved to a desk at the corner of the room and grabbed a bottle of something and uncapped it, throwing the liquid into his mouth. His adam's apple bobbled after the first few gulps, then he stopped and tossed the probably empty bottle to the side, licking his seductively red lips.
Why do I want to touch those lips? Stop it Glyn. He freaking Kidnapped you.
I straightened my stance and cleared my head from those sinful thoughts and focused on what was going on. If he's trying to seduce me, it's not going to work. I've already had enough from guys.
I got fired this morning, caught my boyfriend cheating on me after my very painful last day of work and then I broke up with him leaving him for my cousin, Cassie. He came after me and tried to strangle me…
Yeah. Crazy day.
And now, I got kidnapped by the person who saved me and now. He said that he wants to kill me.
Could this day get any worse.
" What do you mean by that?" I raised a brow. " You just saw a random girl in the street and decided to kidnap her?" I tossed my fear out the window.
I mean he couldn't just kidnap me.
I'm a nobody, a piece of trash which everyone ignores and wants out of their lives, so why would this guy take me?
Could it be that he wanted to get on my Uncle's nerves? Or to get ransom?
I chuckled at the thought ( not out loud though)
Poor guy, he doesn't know that my uncle doesn't even care if I die…They'll probably use my death as some PR stunt to get the people's attention. Just like they did the day they took me in.
" If you want ransom you can kidnap my cousin Cassie. My uncle will pay you millions…I guarantee it." I reasoned like a co-kidnapper would not like I wanted to be one.
Yes, I know I may be selling my cousin to a kidnapper but so what? She's done worst to me. So you can't judge me
" I don't want your Uncle's money…"
" Then what do you want?"
" I said it earlier, didn't I?" He growled, clearly I was getting on his nerves but still, why was he angry? I was the one who was kidnapped and taken against my will!
" Besides." He moved closer, pulling a chair in front of me and sitting down on it, excluding an aura of dominance and power. " I saved you from your psychotic boyfriend, you should be thankful about that."
His woody scent burned through my nostrils, my breath grew hollow and my heart quickened in my chest— I didn't like that, not one bit.
He may have saved me from Cameron but that doesn't give him the right to kidnap me!
" How do you know he's my boyfriend? And secondly, you don't expect me to be like 'oh my gosh you saved me from my crazy boyfriend and kidnapped me…That's wonderful' it's not a very normal thing to do or say."
" I don't do normal. And also yes you should thank me for saving you sorry ass and two, for the fact that you're still breathing…"
He didn't just say that, did he?
He expects me to thank him for the fact that I'm still breathing? Like what the freaking hell!
" You're insane." I cursed, disgusted and annoyed all at once.
" I know, baby." He smirked, his eyes still on mine. Although that restricted my breathing, I didn't look away.
Maybe, I should give up…Maybe I should just let him kill me. Besides, I don't have my boyfriend anymore, I got fired from my stupid job, my home is a living hell, my cousin is a bitch, yeah. So is life.
" I know you want to kill me but please can you let me see my favourite ice cream shop one last time? And also go to my favourite petting zoo and spend some time with Mimi."
If I was going to die, I may as well spend my last day on earth with my favourite person— well animal but you get it..
" So you'd run away? Na. Not happening."
He could at least let me spend my last day properly!
I gritted my teeth, glaring hard at this prick which sat before me. I wanted to slap this jerk hard across the face but I couldn't, one because I was extremely terrified of what he would do if I did that and secondly, I was tied by ropes.
" You can come with me…" I offered but he just ignored me, like I hadn't said a word.
" I'm talking to you."
*Silence*
" Won't you answer me?"
*Silence*
" I won't stop talking."
*Silence*
" You should at least reply me if you want me to shut up."
*Silence*
" Fuck you"
" Would you like that?" He smirked. His red eyes glowing an ominous shade of red. A thick storm of emotion swirling inside them but the one I could clearly see was lust. Thick dark lust.
" What?" My lips trembling as I imagined what thoughts roamed behind those dark red orbs.
" Would you like me to fuck you?" He repeated as it wasn't clear the first time.
