His Beautiful Redemption

His Captive

Three days had passed since Elaine saw the masked man as she called him.Three days,and she hadn't seen anywhere but the four corners of her unusually dark room. The servants provided everything she needed. The room was stocked. There were different types of clothes in the wardrobe, everything she would be needing from casual wears to dinner gowns,and even some unusual underwears she never thought she'll be needing.

It seemed everything was well planned. She has been banging on the doors the minute he left her room and only stopping when her strength gave out. The servants didn't speak to her just brought food which she didn't bother to touch.She refused to eat only drinking water. She was weak by now very weak, but she would never give up.

she sat at the door finally tired and drained.

"She doesn't eat lady Venna" the girl complained placing the untouched food on the counter.

"hmmm" the older lady had a worried expression

She had to tell him. She was scared the girl might die from starvation."Poor thing" she thought.

A soft knock landed on the door interrupting Nicholas from his online meeting. Buh he knew the only person that dared to knock on the door of his private room

"come in."He answered, turning to his phone." We'll continue later" he said before shutting down his system.

"She has refused to eat anything, just water." The older woman complained sounding worried.

"Let her be, she'll eat when she's hungry" he replied nonchalantly looking down at the file he had in his hand

"Nick, don't do this please"

"Thought we agreed to stay out of each other's business" he reminded her without looking directly at her

He still couldn't look at her directly. The shame always kicks in

"Sorry I know buh I'm - "

"I'll take care of it " he stood up from his seat

" Go rest" he finally turned to look at her

He walked out of the room and headed to where his captive was.

Elaine had passed out already when Nicholas opened her door

Few minutes later...

"She needs to eat and I've given her lots of vitamins. She's malnourished, weak and stressed"

Venna nodded her head.

Nicholas walked Micheal out they've been close since their college days.He is currently the family's doctor.

"She's pretty Nick" he said grinning from ear to ear

"Where did you find her, nobody is willing to say anything"

"Send me the bill" he told him and walked towards his car

"tchh,so cold" Micheal grumbled before zooming off in his own car.

few hours later - Galatzine Mansion

Elaine's eyes fluttered open.She looked at the golden chandelier hanging down. Her mind was still foggy but she was a little stronger than before. The vitamins did help not to talk of the three hours sleep she enjoyed.

She looked around the room no one was in sight. She jumped down from the bed and reached for the door to her surprise it was not locked, smiling widely she stepped outside only to collide with a strong wall as she thought. She looked up to her greatest surprise and disappointment it was Nicholas. He held her steady as she was about to fall from the impact. All colour drained from her face.

"You seem to be in excellent condition" he teased her with clear irritation in his voice

"I, I uhm needed air" she lied.

"Good, you'll get some this evening" he deadpanned

"I'm okay-" she stuttered trying to complete her sentence

He didn't let her talk before he announced to call the make up artist and designer

"Get ready.We leave in an hour time" he said as he walked away not even waiting for her reply

Elaine could feel her blood boil at this this point. Her pent up anger and frustration now surfacing.She was very angry.

Her doors opened and the crew swept in with different clothes and make up kits.

She refused to acknowledge them or allow anybody touch her

"Get the bath ready" one if the woman ordered

"please cooperate with us.We're all going to be in trouble if you don't" the woman pleaded but she was too angry to listen

Nicholas stood at the grand staircase waiting for her to come down but nothing.

"Boss there is a problem" one of his men who was guarding the room came to report.

He walked up the stairs he didn't have to be told to know what the problem was, there she stood in her bathrobe refusing to be touched by anyone.

The crew had disturbing looks on their faces "Sorry Sir, we didn't want to force her."

"Leave." He commanded, his voice like thunder

Everybody hurried out of the room leaving them behind

"You've got some nerve little girl" he uttered as he strutted towards her backing her to the wall.

"I'm not yours to order" Elaine's eyes were brimming with tears but she refused to give in the anger in her eyes said alot.

"Let's see then" he dragged her closer, his skillful fingers on her robe trying to untie it .

Panic filled her heart "What do you think you are doing?" She cried as she tried to get away from him but she couldn't he was too strong for her.

"Playing chess," he answered

"You can't do that" She tried reasoning

"thought you didn't want to be controlled so I'll do the work" he looked at her staring daggers at her.

"I'll get ready myself,call them in" She held her robe tightly as if it was the last thing she had.

"Don't test me, I have little patience" Nicholas told her as he walked away from the room allowing the crew to do their work.

Nicholas's patience was growing far thinner by the minute they were thirty minutes late already and he was meeting a very influential businessman which he'll sign the deal he has been chasing for two years now.

Seconds later, he heard the sound of her heels descending the stairs. He raised his head to glare at her, but instead something strange happened. His heart skipped. He was completely smitten. She looked like a perfect painting that had just stepped into real life.He couldn't stop staring at her.

"Yebat"( f**k) he groaned lowly.

Elaine was utterly pissed. She was glaring at him even though she tried to hide it. She knew she looked beautiful. The emerald green satin dress clung to her body like a second skin with the beautiful folds in front, even if she had issues with the high slit she couldn't say anything not sure of what the mentally deranged man will do to her. Her amber eyes complemented the silver shoes and clutch.

"Get the car" Nicholas said to the driver, without even sparing a word to her.

A black Rolls Royce La Noire Droptail pulled up in front of the mansion. Elaine's eyes widened, of course this car made only for a specific group of people. She knew because Drew kept talking about it as he worked in an automobile company. "Smells like old money," she thought to herself. She was not wrong it was indeed old money. ( lots of it)

Inside the car, the silence could be cut through with a knife.

Elaine mind had drifted towards Drew. She wondered how he was doing, and about her plans for today while Nicholas was trying hard to control himself from pouncing on her right inside the car. He closed his eyes feeling his arousal hitting peak.

"f**k this" he cursed.
