I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, tears pouring down my cheeks. Eventually, I stopped, realizing I no longer knew where I was. It seemed Cameron had given up the chase, but now I was lost in the woods. In the distance, I spotted an unfamiliar gate-it looked almost enchanted. Desperation fueled me as I approached, hoping I might find someone to help me. I knocked on the door, but no one answered. Panic rising, I burst through the entrance. Inside, I saw several men, but the one who stood in front of me immediately caught my attention. He was breathtakingly handsome, every feature perfectly sculpted, as though carved from stone. His piercing blue eyes locked onto mine, and in that moment, my world seemed to stand still. My heart raced uncontrollably as I struggled to find words, but before I could speak, his cold, commanding voice broke the silence: "Keep her in the dungeon. I'll deal with this problem later."
Chapter 1 A Dangerous Encounter
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me, tears pouring down my cheeks. The memories of the argument replayed in my mind, sharp and vivid, like daggers aimed at my heart. Cameron had always been controlling, but that night, he crossed a line I never thought he would.
It started with words-a heated exchange in the dim light of his living room. I had finally stood up to him, declaring that I wouldn't let him dictate my life any longer. Anger flashed in his eyes, transforming his familiar face into something unrecognizable, and before I knew it, he had lunged at me, grabbing my wrist with a grip that sent a wave of panic coursing through me.
"Where do you think you're going?" he had sneered, his voice laced with a mix of fury and desperation. "You can't just walk away from me!"
With a surge of adrenaline, I broke free from his grasp, darting out the door and into the cool night air. I could hear him shouting behind me, his voice echoing through the darkness, urging me to stop. But fear got me moving forward, my heart racing as I fled into the shadows, my mind racing with thoughts of escape.
Now, as I stumbled through the woods, I realized I no longer knew where I was. The trees were tall and dark, their branches clawing at the night sky. The sounds of the chase faded behind me, but the memory of Cameron's anger was all too fresh. He was relentless, and I could almost feel him lurking just beyond the trees, searching for me.
In the distance, I spotted an unfamiliar gate, it looked almost enchanted, its intricate carvings shining in the moonlight. Desperation fueled me as I approached, hoping to find someone who could help me, someone who would offer refuge from the chaos I was fleeing.
I knocked on the heavy door, my heart pounding in my chest, but no one answered. Panic began to rise within me, thick and suffocating, as the rustle of leaves behind me hinted that Cameron was still on my trail. In a moment of sheer instinct, I pushed the door open and burst through the entrance.
Inside, the air was thick with tension. Several men turned to look at me, their expressions shifting from curiosity to annoyance. But it was the man standing at the forefront who caught my attention. He was breathtakingly handsome, every feature perfectly sculpted, as though carved from stone. His presence was commanding, radiating an energy that sent shivers down my spine.
His piercing blue eyes locked onto mine, and in that moment, my world seemed to stand still. My heart raced uncontrollably as I struggled to find words, any words, to explain my intrusion. But before I could speak, his cold, commanding voice broke the silence:
"Keep her in the dungeon. I'll deal with this problem later."
The words sent a chill through me, and I realized I had stepped into a situation far more dangerous than I had imagined. As two of the men moved to seize me, I tried to break free and scream but I was overpowered. And before you knew it, everywhere went dark...
