Chapter One- The Call

Amberley walked into the room quietly. Not because her Lady would hear her but because she knew she was on camera.

At her entrance, Apollo immediately got up and took a protective over his master.

Though Master Enzo wasn't home, she knew he would be watching and listening. Her suspension was confirmed when she saw the camera blink red from the corner of her eyes. She went on as she normally would have if she was not under surveillance, she started by opening the all windows and the doors to the balcony, it's where her Lady would have breakfast every morning when Master Enzo wasn't home.

She didn't need to wake her Lady as that was the Romans' job. Once the balcony doors were opened and the slight morning breeze came into the room Roman lifted his head looked around, and slowly got up to stretch before he made his way across the king-sized bed to the women that lay beneath Apollo.

Apollo moved out of Roman's way and sat down beside her. Roman used his paw to remove some of the duvets off of her face and started to lick her face. After four licks, she stirred and giggled.

"Good morning, buddy," she whispered. She opened her eyes and was met with both Apollo and Roman standing over her. Once he saw she was awake, Roman walked back over to his spot on the bed, and she sat up and stretched. She rubbed the sleep out of her eyes before looking towards the camera and blowing a kiss. She knew he was watching—he was always watching.

Enzo had dropped her off at home last week before going away to an emergency at his office in New York. They had been in Florida a week ago. With the promise that once things were back under control, she would join him, and they would spend six months there before they both headed to Germany for a series of conferences he had. After that, he would have some free time, and he planned on taking her to London and Rome.

What she didn't know was that she would be with him today. For her safety, she would travel by night. Under the constant watch of Kane, Jade, and Alec— her security guards. As well as Jasper, Theo, Beck, Hayes, Zachary, Lillian, Jessica, and Bonnie; once they have landed at a private airport, he would send Resse his second in command to oversee her escort to the New York penthouse.

Violette looked over and picked up her phone. She looked at the lock screen and saw she had several text messages from Payton, her best friend who lived a couple of doors down from her. And one from Enzo. She opened his first.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Enzo: Good morning to you as well, my gorgeous girl.

Wednesday 07:30 am

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Violette: Good morning, Daddy ?

Wednesday 07:32 am

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

She sent him a picture she took of herself in her shower yesterday night.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Enzo:...

Wednesday 0732 am

Enzo: Violette. Don't tease me.

Wednesday 0732 am

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

She giggled. She knew very well where it would lead if she continued. That's what she wanted.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Violette:Yes, Daddy, maybe I should be punished. I've been naughty.

Wednesday 0734 am

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Enzo: Go. Get. Ready. I have to go but I'll see you tonight.

Wednesday 0735am

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

She re-read his message twice before rubbing her eyes. She held her phone to her chest and fell back into bed. She smiled so hard it hurt. She sat back up before jumping out of bed. At the same moment, Amberley was coming out of the bathroom.

Good morning Violette, she signed in ASL.

Good morning. She signed back with a smile.

I get to see him today

Yes, your bags are packed and ready to go, Amberley signed back giggling at her excitement.

Im going to him tonight!!

Amberley nodded. Violette did a little happy dance, this was the longest they had been apart.

Yes, and the shower is ready, Amberley added.

Violette nodded, headed toward the bathroom, and made quick work of taking a shower and getting dressed. She wore a loose white lounge set and placed her feet in Tasman UGGS. Though it was hot out, she planned to spend her day inside reading.

She untangled her wet hair, and she turned the blow dryer on. She couldn't stop smiling. She was finally going to be with her man, and she was more than excited. She set the hair dryer down produced with her morning skincare before leaving her on-suite bathroom. Her breakfast waited for her on her balcony. She texted Enzo a picture of herself and started on her breakfast. Eggs, pancakes, bacon, fruit, and a tall glass of orange juice.

Though he couldn't answer now, he would later on. Payton messaged her again, which reminded her about her previous messages she still hasn't read. She took a deep breath before opening her messages with Payton. Payton was good at draining and sucking the life out of you. Violette was so tired of it. It was why she was spending the day in the library, Payton would look for her there.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Payton: HE LOCKED ME IN MY ROOM... AGAIN!

Sunday 10:54 pm

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Payton: IM SO RUNNING AWAY!? WE ARE RUNNING AWAY!

Sunday 10:54 pm

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Payton: Why aren't you answering? did you take your hair aids out again?

Sunday 10:55 pm

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Payton: HELLO! EASTON. DO YOU NOT CARE? THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!?

SUNDAY 10:56 PM

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Payton: SOS!

MONDAY 08:00 AM

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Violette rolled her eyes, Payton was the dramatic one out of the two and was constantly being grounded for not following the rules. Not only that, but she often dragged Violette with her.

Such simple rules she thought to herself.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Violette: My name is Violette-James! Why do you keep calling me Easton? And I do care about you!! But you are always getting me in trouble. :/ I like it here. Enzo loves me, and I love him, Cryus is nice and sweet. If you just give him a chance, i don't want to leave!

Monday 09:30 am

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

She placed her phone in her pocket and walked over to her bedside table, picked up her hearing aid, and placed it in her right ear. Violette had lost all of her hearing in her left ear and lost a significant amount in her right, with each passing day losing more until it was gone due to last year's accident. So far, it's been the same every time her hearing is checked.

Not everyone learned sign language for her except a few house staff, Enzo, Cyrus, and her bodyguards. Not even Payton, which was one of the reasons she was upset with her friend. Hell Cryus was nothing to her, and he learned just for her.

"Come, Apollo, Come Roman," Violette called both of her dogs. 90% of the time it was off, she preferred the silence rather than the busyness of the world around her. But because Payton didn't learn sign language, she had to turn it on whenever she was around. She heard what sounded like yelling out in the hall, Payton again.

She exited her room, and just as she predicted, Payton was in the hallway, giving her maid a hard time as usual. Violette nodded with a smile at Alec, her guard who silently followed behind her. She had grown accustomed to her shadows that she often didn't notice they were there until she turned around and faced them.

"Good morning, brother," Violette called out to him. He didn't talk much out of the three of them, but that didn't stop them from being close.

"NO! This is not what I asked for, do it again, and do it right, or I'll call 'Master ' Cryus !" Payton yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Yes ma'am, I'm sorry." The maid had gone pale at the thought of what Master Cryus would do to her. She turned and practically ran down the hallway. Violette felt bad for them, Payton did this every day.

"Bullying the staff again?" Violette shook her head. This was Payton's hobby when she was bored or up to something. She threw Cryus's name around to get what she wanted.

"Shut up, Violette. And get in here, I don't have time for your righteousness." She pulled violently by her arm into her room.

"Ouch, get off," Violette jerked her arm, out of Payton's grasp.

Payton shut her door and turned to face Violette, who was annoyed by Payton's bizarre actions.

"What do you want?" Violette spoke when Payton just stared at her with an evil grin.

"We are leaving here today! And you are coming with me! You're the only way I can. otherwise, i would like you in this hell?" Her grin sent shivers down her spine.

"You're right. I am leaving here today but not with you. I'm going to see Enzo in New York."

Payton's grin widened. "New York? How exciting. Whe–"

"What did you want with me, Payton?" Violette cut her off she was wasting her time.

"To hell me get out of here. You owe me that! You got my friends killed, don't you remember that? Don't you remember your mother being r***d and then murdered? He killed them in front of you!"

"STOP LYING! They stole me from Enzo when i was younger. My mother took me away and kept me from him, he-he was saving me!" Violette was angry, Payton was always lying about him just to get her to leave him. But little did she know she wasn't lying, Enzo had brainwashed her into thinking he saved her from them and that they had to die for kidnapping her.

Payton was shocked. She could tell she really believed the lies he fed her. Was she really traumatized, or was she lying to make herself feel better by living and loving the man who killed her family.

Was Stockholm syndrome real, or was she faking it all this time? Was she in on all of this? Or was her brain willing to block out the first few months to survive in her new reality.

Payton replaced her feelings of potty with anger . Why should she care about her if she wants to stay she can stay but as for her she would leave today.

"I don't want to talk with you with that attitude. Get out." Payton stepped aside and opened her door. Violette rolled her eyes and walked out. Something was different wrong with Payton today.

She pushed all of that out of her mind and went about her day.

She went to open her room door and she was hungry. She had spent the last few hours in her room reading. Apollo stepped protectively before her, and in that very moment, Her phone went off. She looked down it was Enzo. He never called. He always texted that he knew she either didn't have her hearing aid on or it was off. She was home she didn't need it.

She looked at the camera before picking it up. "PANIC ROOM NOW!" He shouted at her, making her wince at the static his yelling caused her. The hearing aid was new—Payton threw her old one in the pool two weeks ago on vacation—and she was still getting used to the one she had on.

That was all he had to say before her body went into an autopilot. Enzo and Violette had a joint room, and in Enzo's room behind his closet was the panic room. Roman and Apollo followed her as she ran from her room through the bathroom into Enzo's closet, By now, the yelling had become much clearer. Not only was it yelling but also gunshots as well. She did as she was told, punched the code to the panic room, and went in, shutting it behind her and her dogs.

She was trained by Enzo and the guards multiple times since last year. The panic room was just a small room with its powercercit, a twin-size bed on one side, a tv with CCTV of the entire estate, and a month's worth of food. And enough weapons to power a small city.

Violette turned the light on and began to make quick work of her clothing situation. Jeans, a long sleeve black shirt, her bulletproof vest and sneakers. Once she had it on, she threw a pullover to cover the vest. She placed her hair into a high ponytail and braided it. She then walked over to the safe, put the code in , retrieved the gun, and the backpack placed the backpack on her back.

Cocked the gun and placed it on the table by the door. Bending down, she put on Apollo's vest and then Romans's vest. Standing up, she picked the gun up and placed it in her right hand, and turned the light off. She then pulled her phone out. And waited for Enzo's call.
