Enzo's Captive: Bound by Darkness

Chapter - 1

*10years back*

ALORA POV :-

Finally it is my birthday! The day I have been waiting for since last year. Today I successfully turned 15. Although I am a bit sad that I am becoming an adult so fast but also a bit happy as well knowing that I will have freedom and can do whatever I want on my own. I am still a little scared of all the responsibilities I will have at that time but I have trust in myself that I can get through anything no matter what .

After waking up in the morning I took a warm bath to get myself prepared for the day. I applied lotion and did my morning skin care. I applied soft blush on my cheeks and a pink tint on my lips.

I wore a beautiful chiffon floral baby blue dress that dad gifted me yesterday. It had long puffy sleeves with ribbons. I put on a pair of white shoes with it and took my white side purse

Today I want to start my day by having breakfast at my favourite café . Smiling  I opened my bedroom door and met with a shocked faced Katherine. which immediately turned into a smile

"Hi Kathy! Good morning" I squealed happily

"Good morning dear. Seems like you are very excited for the day. I was just about to come to you to get you ready but to my surprise you already are" She said

" You know I wanted to go to my favourite café for breakfast today and I have to go early as I want my favourite chocolate croissant, it always gets stock out when I go there and how do I look?" I asked twirling

She smiled while patting my head

"You look lovely dear, you look like a fairy" I smiled brightly at her

"Let's go downstairs now and happy birthday darling, this is a small gift from me " she said with her soft voice while handling me a beautiful lavender coloured gift box with a white ribbon on top

"Thank you" I smiled while taking the gift and started to unbox it

"It isn't much but I hope you will like it" she said while nervously playing with her fingers. Trying her hardest not to express how nervous she is.

I opened the box and my eyes widened. "Did you make it?" I asked. My eyes still staring at the gift she gave.

"Uh yeah, did you not like it? If not th-" Before she could even finish her sentence I engulfed her into a bone smashing hug

"Thank you thank you sooo much" I exclaimed happily

"It is so beautiful I love it! I am going to style this with my frocks from now on" I said after letting her go. I smiled brightly staring at the cardigan.

It was a lavender coloured cardigan with small white flowers all over. The sleeves were long and puffy. It is beautifully woven like a professional. I cannot stop touching the soft smooth material .She sighed in relief after watching my beaming happy face.

"I am glad you liked it even though it isn't much expensive. I was scared what if you didn't" Katherine said

I took both of her hand in mine and made her look at me.

"You know Kathy, after mother you are my 2nd mother figure. Whatever you give me I will always love it. No matter how expensive or cheap it is I would still love the gift even if you  give me a piece of paper. Just don't give me cockroach. You know I hate. it" I said the last part dramatically

She laughed and flicked my forehead playfully. Shaking her head side by side. "Silly girl. Come downstairs your parents are waiting for you" she said softly .I nodded and runned downstairs

"Good morning everyone " I greeted while going to the living room

"Good morning princess" dad said while closing his newspaper. He got up from the sofa and pecked my forehead.

"Happy birthday again dear" he said while hugging me.

"Thank you dad" I said Patting his back. They gave me a surprise wish last night with a small cake in hand and also have me some gifts which consisted of my outfit for today.

"Ahem. Now if your father and daughter time is done can I get my daughter?" We heard mom clearing her throat before speaking. Me and dad both looked at each other and broke into a fit of laughter.

"Good morning my fairy and happy birthday" mom wished before engulfing me into another hug. I wished her morning as we broke apart.

"This is for you honey. It's a gift from mom" she said handing me a pink colour box. I opened it and saw a very beautiful golden coloured watch . I smiled and thanked her. Dad also stepped forward and gave me his gift.

I opened the beautiful black box with a red ribbon on top and saw a beautiful butterfly shaped diamond pendant from Tiffany and co.

I thanked him as well and hugged him

"Thank you so much but you know it wasn't necessary. They all are really expensive" I said.

" Oh come on darling, all of this are for you, you deserve this and we will spoil you as much as we can" said mom. I smiled and kissed both their  cheeks.

We weren't poor but wasn't much rich either. My father is a lawyer and my mom is an artist. She paints really beautiful portraits. She is the reason for which I have a talent for painting. she sells her paintings to different organisations and also give some money to charity as well. Whereas my father works in a renowned law firm and is a very well know capable lawyer .

I looked around and frowned when I didn't see him. It feels depressing not to have him around in my special day.

"Where is Nevan mother?" I asked still looking around

"Oh he went to college this morning darling. He had a sudden class today. He was sad though but said he will meet you in the evening"

I know he will come and say sorry for this in the evening but I still was a bit sad .He is my most favourite person. He always takes care of me and protects me whenever mom and dad is not there for me. He always encourages me for my everything.

" Oh okay, I will take my leave then. I will meet you after I arrive from the cafeteria" I said

"Okay dear be safe and give me the gifts I will place it in your wardrobe" she said while taking the boxes from my hand

"Okay I will go bye" I said turning back to the door

"Bye princess " dad waved me bye and I did the same as I went out of my house.

~~~~~~~~~

After some walk I finally reached the café

'La Rosè Café '

I entered the café and the smell of coffee and cocoa engulfed me making me feel relaxed. I took a deep breath and went to the counter to state my orders.

I ordered a latte and my favourite chocolate croissant with a vanilla cake. I had my breakfast enjoying my own company and watching the outside view from the window. Sometimes I also watched a kdrama on my phone

After having my breakfast I was about to leave the café but stopped when I saw a person struggling with some books and files in his hand .

I immediately went towards him trying to help him before all the things would spill out of his hand and it got messier . I immediately rushed towards him. I was late but thankfully caught some of the books.

"Careful" I said while catching the books

The boy looked at me confused but I didn't paid any attention to him instead focusing my attention on the spilled papers on the floor

"Let me help you" I offered while adjusting my side purse

We both started to arrange the papers from the floor. During picking the papers I saw a paper which had his name 'Enzo Salvatore' .It is a beautiful name but sounds foreign

I stood up taking the last paper in hand and handed it over to him.

"Here" I said while handing the paper to him .That was the first time I fully looked at him.

He had iced grey eyes and jet black hair. His bottomless grey eyes were staring straight at me without blinking through his long thick black lashes. He was muscular, well builded handsome and looked like a college student. He was way taller than me. his supposedly 6"4' figure was towering over my 5"3' figure. He wore a navy blue t-shirt and a black jacket on top with a matching black jeans. He had black earbuds plugged in his ear .

I snapped out of my daze and left the café after handing him the papers.

"Be careful next time. You shouldn't do things in a rush" I said before leaving and gave him a small smile at the end

He didn't even say thank you before I left.

ENZO'S POV :-

I was already having a bad day today. Not only I found another traitor in my group but now I had to go to college for some f*****g assignments .

I would have left this college a long time ago if it wasn't for the company and the condition that father gave me, also if I want to set my own business in the future I need a f*****g degree .

Oh how much I want to rip someone's head out and paint my hand with blood right now.

Cursing I went inside a café I found while driving. I cannot go home to do assignments or else I will end up killing someone and enjoying it till night

My hands were full of files and books. I was so in a rush I didn't even organize it. While trying to get to a table the files and books decided to betray me and was about to fall to the ground before a girl skillfully grabs some of my books

"Careful" she said

The papers from the files ended up on the floor but thankfully the books were safe and it created a less mess.

"Let me help you" a sweet soft voice spoke and at that moment my eyes went to her. She was couched down on the floor picking the papers I spilled .I reached her height and couched down to see her face clearly

My breath hitched the moment I saw her

Her beautiful short light brown hair was flowing gently by the slight wind on the room. Some strands of her hair was falling on her beautiful smooth pale face. My hands etched to touch her soft cheeks. She gently tucked some of her hair behind her ear .

Her sweet cocoa scent with a hint of vanilla was playing with my senses.

" Here" she spoke while getting up and handing me the papers . I also got up and now I was finally able to see her fully

She looked at me with her sparkling mesmerising hazel green eyes. The blue dress she was wearing was making her look soft like an angel. A calm and glowing aura surrounding her.

She is shorter than me and looks way younger than me but she have some curves on the right places

I took the papers from her .Words were not able to leave my mouth. My eyes only admiring her

"Be careful next time. You shouldn't do things in a rush" she said smiling before exiting the café. This made me skip a beat .

She hurriedly left before I could ask anything to her. Her scent was still lingering on my senses

Who is she? She immediately made me feel calm by just her mere presence, am I whipped?

Shit no! I cannot I am a killing machine and have killed a lot of girls like her .I am the lord of the underworld. I cannot stay put on just a girl . Moreover

a much younger girl like her.

But she did something to me which I cannot deny and unknowingly it made me smile. I hope we meet each other again Bella....
