Ivy was delighted when the maid didn't cuff her hands back to the bed. She left the room with the empty tray after she had finished eating the food. This was the perfect opportunity Ivy was waiting for. She got down from the bed and moved towards the door. To her surprise, her door was unlocked too!
She peeked at both sides of the hallway before stepping down there. She didn't know which way to go—as this house was so much bigger than her own house. 'This guy must be filthy rich,' she thought. She decided to go left as it led to a stairway. She also knew that this mansion must be heavily guarded on all sides. How was she going to escape?! Yet she can't give up! She has to try something before that psycho Tristan tries to r**e her.
Even the stairways were brightly lit just like the hallway. Bright chandeliers were hanging above which made the silver railings of the staircase glitter. As she held the railing and got down the stairs, suddenly knocked over someone. She wondered how a man suddenly appeared in front of her.
Her chest collided over his, and she jerked away from him to see his face. But the high heels that she was wearing made her trip on the stairs. Yet, she didn't fall as a strong arm caught her waist. Then the man moved her waist and pressed and made her collide over him again. Ivy fell speechless when she stared at his piercing golden brown eyes that were admiring her.
Even though Ivy was mad at him, she wasn't able to restrain herself from admiring the gorgeous man before her. She had not seen him this much closer. He appeared to be even more handsome when he was near her. It took a while for her to notice that their lips were only inches apart. Even though she sensed some kind of coldness radiating from his body, her body felt hot.
No! She couldn't be admiring the man who had kidnapped her?! She should do everything to escape from this place. She tried to free her waist from his grip, but his hold on her was firm. Then he pulled her even more near her so that she lost the balance of her feet. Her instinct made her put her arms around his neck for balance.
Ivy got so frustrated after that. Perhaps this man was really going to r**e her! He can be handsome, that doesn't mean that she has to give her body to him! And on top of that, he was a psychopath. She should escape from him. But how?! This man is so strong!
"Let. me. go…." she cried and struggled to push him away from her. She didn't care if he fell rolling down on the stairway and hit his head. She was determined to save herself from him.
While Ivy was trying to push him down, Tristan was enjoying her struggle. Even though she was furious, he felt that she was cute like a wild kitten. The one moment she had her arms around his neck, his heart had literally stopped beating for a minute. He imagined how it would be to taste the pink lips of hers that were cursing him now. And now that she was pressed against his chest, her scent was stronger and even more intoxicating to inhale. He was literally in heaven now!
"I'll kill you if you don't let me go now," she cursed him.
"Barbie girl, are you sure that you can kill me? Cause many have tried before and failed in that—"
Ivy was shocked to hear that. People had tried to kill him before?! Who the hell was he?! "Oh no," she almost screamed. "Are you a… gangster?!"
Tristan let out a chuckle. "No, Barbie girl! I am much more dangerous than that." His eyes went dark as he said that.
Then Ivy realized that she was in the trap of a dangerous predator and that she was his prey. If this man was more dangerous than a gangster, then he was probably a Drug Lord or a Don! This explains why he is filthy rich. She has to play her cards well or else this man would just kill her. She bet that he had a lot of high tech guns with him
"Were you trying to escape from here, Barbie girl?" Tristan asked when she was silently staring down at the white-tiled stairs.
"Yes, I was…." Ivy swallowed. Now her tone was very polite. She didn't want to cross him as she thought that he was dangerous.
Tristan sensed her fear and he couldn't help but chuckle at her now. "That's okay, sweetie," he said and patted her golden hair gently. "I forgive you this time—but you made a mistake. You should be punished for that, don't you?"
Ivy's heart froze. Is he going to punish her?! Her overthinking mind started to think of various ways in which he could harm her. "I am… I am sorry," she almost cried. "I will not do this again—"
Tristan's lips curled up in a seductive smile. Even though Ivy was scared of him, she couldn't deny that she was swooned by his smile. He was like a handsome devil in the mask of an Angel who seduced his prey to sin.
"Unfortunately Barbie girl, I don't like to forgive the people who wrong me," he let out a sigh.
The world around Ivy started to crumble down into pieces. There was no escaping for her now. She is in his trap and she has to suffer the consequences of her actions.
"Well, your punishment is…." he paused just to admire her nervousness for a while. After a while, he said, "I'll carry you up to the room and place you on the bed and… cuff your hands to the bed…. and….."
Ivy didn't need him to finish the sentence. She knew what he was going to do to her after he cuffs her to the bed. 'He is definitely going to r**e me today,' she cried internally.
"And I'll tug you under a warm blanket and leave you to sleep alone in the room," Tristan said the sentence lately just to mess with her and it worked.
