I bite the inside of my cheek to keep from whimpering in pain. I won’t give him the satisfaction of crying out.
“Tomorrow, a doctor will be testing you. Make sure you’re not carrying a bastard child. You are to only carry mine,” he says, wrenching my head backward.
“Go to hell. I won’t ever carry a child of yours.” I spit in his face and bring my knee up, connecting with his family jewels. Ethan instantly releases his grip, and I make a break for it. I barely make it up the stairs when he tackles me, forcing me to hit the side of my head against the stairs.
For a man who looks like he doesn’t spend much time in the gym, Ethan’s faster than I figured he’d be.
“Foolish,” he tsks. “I’ll have to make you pay for that as well.”
Grasping me by my hair, Ethan drags me back down and throws me on the floor. I skid to a stop slamming my head against the concrete wall.
Blinking away the tears of the pain I felt the first few days thinking about what I’ve endured while hoping just maybe Theo and my brother would rescue me. It’s not yet to happen, and I’m starting to doubt it ever will.
I constantly find myself thinking about the what-ifs that come with the day Mia and I were both kidnapped. I haven’t seen or heard anything about her since, and I fear for her. I wish she hadn’t been thrown into my mess. If I hadn’t rushed off to the bathroom, maybe none of this would have happened. Maybe if I’d called Theo and asked him about the picture. Or confronted him in person. But no matter how many times I think about it, I can’t go back and change it.
The door leading to where I’m being held opens, pulling me from my constant thoughts. I don’t bother lifting my head to see who it is. It doesn’t matter anymore. Out of the three, they all hurt me—one way or another.
Ethan tends to enjoy groping, pinching, and biting me, along with using whatever ways he comes up with. Such as bringing a girl in who’s nearly an exact replica of myself. He has her suck him off while he touches me. Then he’ll spray his cum on my naked body. Yep, I’ve been stripped of my clothes.
My mother and father simply go with using the belt while throwing insults in my direction or demand I give in on doing as they please. They can’t kill me this I know because of the money in my name.
I didn’t understand any of it until Christian explained about the money a while ago. He and Theo both sat down with me and went over all the details. I don’t see why anyone can stoop so low. Then again, the amount in the accounts is substantial.
“Good morning, my fiancée. I do hope you have had a good night’s sleep,” Ethan snickers, coming close enough to pinch my chin between his fingers and bring my head up until I have no choice but to meet his gaze. “Are you going to give me what I want today?”
This is the same question he’s asked every day he’s come in, and I refuse him each time.
I don’t answer Ethan, and he knows I’m not going to. It’s become a game to him. I know this because it’s the same every time. He asks this, then he’ll grope, pinch, and bite me, then he’ll bring the girl in to suck him off. After, Ethan likes to do his own damage with a whip rather than the belt my parents use.
Today is no different.
I do what I do to survive his torment. I think of Theo. Imagining myself in his arms. Kissing him passionately. Holding his hand as we walk down a beach together.
“Today, we’re going to do something different,” Ethan announces, releasing his grip on my chin and taking a step back. He twists and yells up the stairs. “Federico, bring her in here.”
A moment later, two sets of feet come down the stairwell, and my eyes widen in horror at the sight of Mia. It looks as if she’s been raped repeatedly and beaten.
“Mia,” I breathe, a pain like no other constricts within my chest. Because of me, she’s like this.
“As you can see, my cousin here has been having a good time.” Ethan smirks. Turning back to me, he closes the distance between the two of us and cups the side of my face with one hand while running his nose against my cheek. “If you give in, give me what I want, Federico has agreed to give Mia back. He’s done toying with her as he wanted to. She’s no longer of his interest.”
“Blake, no,” Mia whimpers, and Federico snatches her head back by her hair.
“Remember your place, pet, or I’ll have no choice but to hurt you again,” Federico says harshly and brings his gaze to mine while smirking. “I’ll even do it in front of your friend here.”
Mia’s eyes widen, but she shakes her head the slightest bit—telling me not to give in. What kind of person would I be if I didn’t, though? Mia’s become my family in the last year. She’s not just my friend. If I don’t give in, they’ll hurt her and me more.
Tears spill down my cheeks as I make my decision and meet Mia’s eyes. “I’m sorry,” I whisper and lower my head to stare at the dark floor as the words I’ve refused to say for so long slip past my lips. “I’ll give in.”
“Good girl, we’ll keep our word and give her back,” Ethan coos kissing the side of my face and stepping away from me. Soon both men leave, taking Mia with them. A part of me doesn’t believe them, but another part thinks they will. If for no other reason than to show they hold power over Leo and Theo.
I might not know the game, but I’m starting to learn.

THEO
“Do we have any news?” I demand, stepping into Leo’s office, scrubbing a hand over my face in exhaustion.
