ONE

ELLA'S POV

I am the airport entrance in an attempt to leave my hometown forever.

I also know, that if I leave he will not hesitate to kill my parents.

I still remember how, a few hours ago, how he turned my entire house into a pool of blood.

He is a very ruthless man. If I call him Merciless, it won't be wrong.

He not only does not hesitate from killing people but also animals. He killed his own pet dog just because the dog bit me in self-defense.

He shot a policeman just because I grabbed onto his hands to ask for help.

He doesn't want me to touch anyone but him.

It's like I'm his possession.

He doesn't even hesitate to shoot on disabled people.

A few hours ago, He barged inside my house so he could see me. My father asked me to hide in the basement.

And when he couldn't find me, he shot bullets on my dad's leg. He even shot on my fully paralysed mom.

My mom, She cannot even talk.

Her entire body beneath her chin is completely paralysed. She lost her voice and became severely paralysed in a car accident sixteen years ago.

He wants to watch me scared and succeeded a few hours ago when he turned my house into a pool of blood.

My arm is injured with the bullet wound as I was trying to block out the bullet for my mom.

Just when he left, my father convinced me to run away from the next flight to god knows where so, Ezekiel won't be able to find me.

| ONE•HOUR•AGO |

"Run away Baby! You don't have to worry about us. Your mother got paralysed like this only to save you. Your grandfather died only because he wanted to save you. This family has sacrificed everything to keep you safe, and being your father it is my duty to save you. Run away! Go to the airport immediately and book yourself any flight there. Just go fly out of continents so he won't be able to get you! Don't try to contact us as he may track you down. Be safe Ella, you are being watched. One wrong move and everything will be ruined!"

.

My mind was filled with what dad had asked me to do.

EZEKIEL ORSON

He is a dangerous man and I definitely don't want anything to do with him at all.

I am just scared about the things he would do to my family for this. But dad forced me to run away.

Just when I stepped forwards to enter inside the gate I felt an arm holding a handkerchief wrap around my mouth.

The man appeared to be strong built.

I heard his stern voice, his head going through the crook of my head.

"I could have sent my men to do this, but I don't want anyone else to touch you."

His breathing were fanning my ears as he said huskily.

"Found you little kitty!"

And before I could struggle to get out of his grip, I was long slipped into the darkness.

EZEKIEL'S POV

I am more than enraged right now. I am infuriated at her!

How did she even dared to try escape me?

And her stupid father?

I know, it must be his idea.

I just know that old man!

Does he really think that he could hide away what's mine so easily from me??

These people need to be taught a lesson.

I thought a little scaring her would be enough but no! They do not understand the easy language and now, I'll have to try the tough one with her.

How did I know she attempted an escape?

Well, that's simple!

I had my men planted around her house.

I'll soon install a tracker in her phone or maybe a microphone too but for now, I have my men guarding around her house watching her every move.

When I left, after injuring her parents in order to scare her a little I know an ambulance was called.

My men heard the conversations between her and her father. And so, I know where and how she was planning an escape.

I spotted her at the airport gate.

She seemed as if wondering if she should really go or not.

I could easily see her hesitation that she felt about leaving her Home Town, but not so easily, Ella.

You cannot go away so easily.

I sprayed some chloroform on my handkerchief and clamped my hands around her mouth, she fainted soon in my arms.

It was very easy for me to lift off her small body from the ground as I dump her on the backseat of my car.

I sat besides her and ordered my driver to move.

~~

I watched her beautiful face as she was unconscious, sleeping right now.

I remove some of her hairs falling on her face as they were just bothering her and blocking my way to stare at her beautiful face and preventing me from taking in every single details of her face.

Yes, she is beautiful.

I don't mind all this chasing games and exercise she is making me go through because, when you look at her, she deserves every fucking attention of mine.

Soon we reached my private "Jail".

Jail, because this is where I torture people and Kill them, those who do not listen to me.

I had no intentions to bring Ella here with me but she would just not stop running around and disobeying me.

Now, I'll send her and her family a final message of who is the Incharge of everything that's mine!

...And Ella Hudson, is one of those things, which is entirely mine.

~~

I open the car door and scoop my little kitty up into my arms.

Her head rested on my chest. I could feel her heart beat while her body connected with mine and her warm breath on my chest fanning it.

At this moment, I wanted to take her straight into my bedroom, get rid of both our clothes and **** her until she forgets to stand!!

But, no!

I'll control myself.

For now, what she actually needs is some discipline.

A strong message that her life is owned by me.

EZEKIEL ORSON

~~

At first I thought I'll just take her to the basement and tie her on the chair there and wait till she wakes up.

...But then, something melted in my heart.

This is the first time a woman has the power to do that to me and so I changed my mind and took her upstairs into my room and made her to lie down on my soft and comfortable matress.

I sat there taking up a chair and studied her sleeping face.

Her small body lied comfortably wrapped inside my blanket.

I had a very strong urge to get rid of my shirt and slip inside the blanket next to her wrapping my arms around her strongly and cuddle her like that forgetting day and night with her inside my embrace.

But, NO!!

When a kid makes a mistake, you need to punish them before showering your love on them.

I'll shower my love on her, I'll soak her from head to toe in my love. But before that I need to fix this rebellious attitude that she carries.

I have planned some good punishment for her.

After what I do to her, she would not even dare to even dream of trying to escape away from my hold.

An hour passed and I knew it was now time for her to wake up.

She flinched a little and then opened her beautiful hazel eyes to look around the room and then,

Her eyes met mine.

My entire world flipping behind me.

ELLA'S POV

I was startled at where I was.

My head hurt really bad.

I blinked a few time to adjust my pupils with the bright lights inside the room and turn my head to my side to catch Ezekiel staring at me.

His facial expressions were like that of a demon and I immediately knew I had landed myself in hell.

He leaned in closed to my face, I flinched and supporting my body on both of my elbows moved backwards.

"I thought I was able to scare you, but guess I'll have to work harder than that!" He said.

I was already enough scared from what he did to my parents the last time. I don't want anymore troubles.

He extended his fingers towards me and I curled myself a inwards hugging myself in.

I don't want him near me. His aura right now was sending shivers down my spine.

His fingers reached on my bare shoulders, I was wearing a camisole, and from my shoulder he slowly trailed his knuckles down my arms to my hands.

He took my hand in his and raising it upto his mouth he planted a kiss at the back of my palm and looked at me.

That look was the scariest look anyone could even nightmare of.

"You need to learn your first lesson now, so you won't dare to pull up that stunt on me ever again." He said and pulled me towards himself.

I gasped in horror as my head bumped into his chest.

My hands automatically rested on his chest and I looked up to meet his eyes, He looked down at me and chuckled,

"You don't know what you're doing to me baby!" he said.

I swallowed hard while he smirked and lifted me up inside his arms.

I was literally too afraid to put up a fight and I just remained in his arms while he walked down towards what I am hoping to be his basement.

I had planned to obey him silently because I didn't want anymore trouble. But, as soon as he approached inside his basement I jumped out of his hold and ran upto my mom.

"MOOOMM?! DAAAD?! Oh My God!!"

I couldn't help but cry.

My mother's both hands were tied together in a knot from one end of the rope and the second end of the rope was tied around my dad's hand.

Both of them were blindfolded suspended from a hook from the ceiling and their mouths were stuffed with clothes preventing their voices.

There was a sharp edged saw lying on the floor and the set up was made like, if you cut the rope both the people suspended in air would fall on the sharp saw and their heads would be beheaded.

I couldn't approach to touch them as the saw was stopping me from doing so.

I couldn't help but cry.

My mother was paralysed down her chin. She couldn't even speak!

She could barely live like this. Her breathing became quick and I knew she was having her asthma attack again.

I heard Ezekiel chuckle.

How could he manage a chuckle after doing something this monstrous?

"Surprise, Surprise my beautiful Ella! What happened? Shocked?"

Ezekiel walked towards me and touched my cheek with his knuckles I took a couple of steps backwards at his touch lie that.

He is disgusting!

~~

"This, is your lesson number one." He started.

"Do not even THINK about running away from me!" He said completing walking a circle around me, where I was standing.

"Ez-Ezekiel, I beg you! Please let my parents go! Do whatever you want to do with me, please don't touch them."

I said crying for his mercy, I cannot even think of any other way.

"I like the idea of you, begging me... Okay, get down on your knees and beg me!" He said his expressions rigid.

I cannot believe him.

So, this is how he wants to keep me?

He is going to keep me with him in fear?

"I don't have the entire fucking day Ella come on!" He shouted.

"Look at this knife! It's aching to cut a rope. Time is running Ella, baby, tick tock!"

He said running his fingers on the sharpness of the knife.

My mom's breathing started to break, I couldn't watch her like that.

And so, I got down on my knees before him. I folded my palms together and started to beg him.

"Ezekiel, please, l-let go of my mother. Sh-she is having an asthma attack, she will die like this!" I said, my tears now burnt my cheeks.

He kept his knife below my chin and lift my head upwards, for my eyes to meet his.

"I'll let them go, first, you answer these questions.."

He said in his stern voice and few drops rolled down my cheeks again.

"Are you going to run away again?" He asked.

"No!"

I immediately replied.

I don't want to waste a single second now.

"Who do you belong to from now on?"

"You!"

I say immediately watching my mother's breath breaking suspending from the ceiling like that.

"Say that you love me!"

I looked up at him.

I cant say that..

I don't love him, I cannot say it.

Ivaan took out a gun from his pocket and pointed at the rope where my parents were tied above.

"Say that you love me! Say it!!"

He demanded again.

But I just couldn't utter words, I was not saying "I love you" to this monster.

He shot a bullet towards the rope and I flinched immediately to look at the direction.

He was doing it on purpose, it was a warning bullet for me. For me to say those three words to him.

"Say that you love me Ella, I won't miss the bullet next time." He said again.

"SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME!!"

He clicked unlock his gun and his fingers on the trigger.

I know he won't miss his shot this time.

Hence, I close my eyes, clenched my jaw and just said it as loud and clear as I could.

"I LOVE YOU EZEKIEL ORSON!"

I love my parents more than anything else in this world, I cannot let anything happen to them, not at all!
