[Erin]Tears flowed right through the corners of my eyes as I kept my mouth clamped shut, denying him access. Nikolai didn’t just stop there assaulting me with his punishing kiss. One of his hands moved down, rough palms trailing flatly on my stomach until it found the lacy strings of my underwear, and in one swift motion, he ripped it.The fabric bites on my skin. Surely that would leave an imprint. I writhed underneath him, my knees trying to push him, but it was to no avail. He’s too strong for me to even twist my wrist in attempt to twist my wrist and break free.I let out a whimper when he bit my lower lip so hard, gasping as he did so. He took it as an opportunity and plunged his assaulting tongue without permission. I could feel my lips seared and become swoll

[Third Person’s Point of View] — NikolaiThe sound of rushing water slapping against the granite floor resounded on the corners of his bathroom floor. Nikolai stood under the intense pressure of his shower, letting the freezing water cascade on him, cooling down the hotness spreading on his veins like a contagious disease.He was drunk. He didn’t know how he managed to slip into her room. He just came to his senses when he heard her crying.He wanted to kill her. She wasn’t as flawless as he deemed when he saw her in person. He was watching the entire auction process through Akim’s live feed. The moment he set his eyes on her, he knew he wanted her so bad even only through the monitor.She was like a

[Erin]It has been a while since I was trailing down the weedy path. I could no longer see the way I came into this forest, and the mud began to accumulate on the pad of my feet, creating soles of thick mud.The low temperature makes the tiny hairs on my arms stand upright, wee bumps appearing on my skin. The sheer, thin fabric of my dress provides no less than a smidgeon of warmth in this chilly weather.For a fleeting moment, I regret going in here. I could still be in my bed, warm and cozy. However, on the second thought, the prospect of spending the rest of my life in that grandeur place like a pampered bird in a cage is something I could not bear.I just can’t.The forest

[Erin]A loud blaring noise jolted me back to my consciousness.It is so cold. I couldn’t feel anything other than the freezing cold that had covered all over me, and the pain blasted on my feet. Am I dead? I don’t think death would also feel this way. I think they will be more peaceful, no pain and suffering, except if I am in hell.Was hell supposed to be this cold? I thought there would be scorching fire, a blazing lake of fire. But there were none like them. There is only darkness, cold, and pain.I couldn't even bring my eyes open to look around to see where I had ended up. One of the last things I recall is that I was trying to get away from the mansion and ended up getting lost in the forest. If I were still ali

[Erin]The full blast of air met us just as I felt Nikolai step into a flat surface.The sound of the whooping blade reminds me of a helicopter. There was frantically shouting all around us, but I couldn't make out what they said.The rapid-fire of gunshots reverberated below the building, but it is getting louder and louder the longer.As I felt Nikolai lift me and place me on a cushioned surface, I heard him yell over something in the distance. Then he came up behind me and cradled me in both of his arms.“Go!” I heard him shout, instructing someone to lift the aircraft.A barrage of bullets whizzes past, pinging against the helicopter's side. As we rose higher in the sky, Nikolai wrapped his arms around me and covered me with his body.I don't know how long the time passed, whether or not we made it back to the mansion. The last thing I remembered was Nikolai s
