Episode 6

In another part of town, I saw her some time ago and she caught my interest. She frequented the cafe where she worked, as well as a bar where she also waited tables. I thought she'd notice me, but she didn't; she treated me like any other customer, and for heaven's sake, she ought to have noticed me.

I've never dated any woman who wasn't blonde with green eyes, but this simple, brunette woman with chocolate-colored eyes has captivated me.

I tried to get her to see me, but she didn't even dare to look my way, not even once.

I had her investigated and have been watching her from the shadows for a long time. I've had people following her to ensure no one gets close to her. She is mine, solely mine, even if she doesn't know it yet.

When she moved to a safer place, I continued to keep her under surveillance, planning every move of mine to get her by any means necessary.

I have eyes and ears everywhere; it's one of the benefits of having money.

I imagined her to be a virgin because of her innocence and shyness, but I had no way of verifying or dismissing this notion.

I entered her apartment several times and explored every part of it, even taking some of her clothing and returning to spray them with her perfume. She doesn't own much, so I had to stop taking items, or she'd soon discover that something was happening.

The knowledge that she plans to give herself to someone at a party, and that for the first time, wreaked havoc on my nerves. I left a white rose at her door to symbolize her purity.

"You'll be mine, only mine, and no one else’s until I decide so. No wretch will take away what is mine. You belong to me, and if you plan to lose your virginity, it will be with me, even if I have to abduct you," I smile at my thoughts as I finish my whiskey.

I'll go to sleep with her fragrant clothes, knowing that soon it will be her who rests beside me. I won't let her escape until her entire being is marked by my scent and mine by hers.

She will be mine, I'm certain of that.

I'll make sure that a white rose reaches her workplace and another rests on her doorstep every time she comes home. If only she knew that I could be leaving flowers inside her apartment because her safe place belongs to me too—I have the keys.

I bought the damned building. I've crossed the boundaries of madness, and I don't care; she has captivated me. Only my trusted men who are there to serve and protect me know of my obsession, and they keep their comments to themselves if they don't want to be fired.

Now that you want to give away what's mine to someone else, I will take action. I'll set everything up and take you with me, leaving no trace. I just have to finalize the details and prepare a room for my small, shy lady.

She won't know my name or see my face until I'm sure I can avoid any claims from her. When she knows whom she belongs to, that's when she'll know. For now, and for the foreseeable future, I must remain the anonymous admirer. And if she never recognizes me, she will remain unaware of who first claimed her body.

"Sir, do you need anything else?"

"For the moment, that's all; make sure you keep a close watch on my dear Elizabeth."

"Yes sir, anything else?"

"No, keep her under surveillance and find something to put her to sleep when the time comes. Also, don't look at me like that, and don't you dare make mistakes or put her in danger."

"As you command."

I still don't know how I'll take her or from where, but when she wakes up, she will be in a place from which she cannot escape.
