Now, there is no such belief. Now, I have to face the truth.
Squeezing my eyes shut, I force myself to go back to sleep since that’s the only escape I have. I feel like kicking and screaming, but I think staying quiet right now is my best bet. I’m hoping I won’t spend another night in here if I just behave like Lorenzo wants me to.
I’m just dozing off when I hear approaching footfalls and the rattling of the keys. In a split second, sleep is the furthest thought from my mind.
Besides the doctor checking me out last night and a maid bringing me a blanket, food, and some painkillers, no one has been here to check on me. Is Enzo finally going to come and face me? If he is, what will he say? Will he be mad at me? Or will he be apologetic?
My pulse is racing, and my breathing is labored as the door swings open, and Eli’s huge body fills the frame of the door.
“Wakey, wakey.” He smirks at me. His eyes roam my body like they did yesterday, and a small groan falls from his lips. I suddenly feel naked and exposed, even though I’m fully dressed. Scooting up on the bed, I pull the blanket up to under my chin.
As he walks in, I notice he is carrying a tray and has a bag stuffed under his arm.
“I hope you had a pleasant night.” He winks.
“Splendid,” I say sarcastically.
“Brought you breakfast, fresh clothes, and some ointment for your face.” He drops the bag next to my bed and sets the tray on the edge of the mattress. “Now get up.”
“Why?” I’m confused.
“Get. Up,” he snaps, his tone telling me there is no room for disobedience. His huge body is looming over me, the light bulb behind his head, only making him seem larger and more powerful.
Hesitantly, I push the blanket off and slowly start to move.
“Faster, or I’ll make you,” he warns.
I scurry off the bed and come to a stand next to him. Wrapping my arms around myself, I tilt my head up to look at him and wait for further instruction.
“Now, take that dress off.” His tongue darts out to lick his lips as his eyes glare at me with expectation.
“W-what… I mean, why?”
“Because I said so. I brought you fresh clothes.” He picks up the bag and turns it over, pouring out its contents on the bed. I look at the pile of clothes dumbfounded. He can’t be serious?
“I’ll change after you leave.”
“No. You change now.”
“I don’t think Enzo will be okay with this,” I say boldly. The truth is, I have no idea if he is or not. He said he won’t share, but I won’t take his word for anything.
“Who do you think sent me down here? Now get undressed before I rip this dress off you and teach you a lesson.”
With shaking hands, I reach back and fumble with the zipper until it’s open. I let the dress fall off my shoulders and to the ground. I’m wearing a pair of lacy panties, but no bra since the dress had one built-in.
I cross my arms in front of my boobs as quickly as I can, but I know he’s seen my breasts now.
Grinning from ear to ear, he pulls out a pair of panties from the pile and holds it in front of my face.
“Here, change into these now,” he orders.
Wanting this to be over as quickly as possible, I hastily pull my panties down my legs and snatch the ones he is holding. As I put the fresh pair back on, Eli’s eyes don’t leave my bare pussy, and his glare burns my skin.
My mind goes back to the time Enzo made me undress in front of him. That time I was scared but also excited. With Eli, I feel disgusted and want to vomit.
Snatching a shirt and a pair of leggings from the bed, I pull those on too, covering up everything I don’t want him to see.
“Good girl. I’ll be back…” And with that, he turns around and leaves my cell. The door falls shut, and the sound of the lock clicking fills the small space.
I suck in a deep breath and wrap my arms around myself. Sinking back down to the mattress, I curl up into myself and hope Eli won’t come back today. I want Enzo to come down here and get me. Even after what he did, I don’t think he would be okay with this. Would he?
I’m so confused. Unsure what to believe or how to feel. Is this how Enzo wants it? Was this his plan all along? I can’t fathom him sending Eli here to watch me get changed, but what do I really know.
Maybe that’s how he’s wanted me this whole time—confused, broken, and lost with no purpose here.
