Chapter 7

When Eva opens her eyes, she finds herself in a big and unknown room. This room was painted only gray, and everything here was black and gray. Anyone can say that this room belongs to some man. His manly smell is still present in the room.

As she sits up, Eva takes in her surroundings with a sense of unease. The walls are decorated with expansive paintings, and all the furniture is screaming luxury. She was sitting in a large, imposing bed with dark, heavy curtains hanging around it. The air is heavy with the scent of musk and cologne, a stark contrast to the light, floral scents Eva is used to. She shivers, feeling a sense of foreboding creeping over her as she realizes she is completely alone in this unfamiliar place.

The silence in the room is deafening, broken only by the faint sound of a clock ticking in the distance. Eva 's heart begins to race as she tries to piece together how she ended up here. She tries to recall the events of the previous day, that interview last she remembered, and that Rafael and he kidnapped her.

She quickly stood up and went toward the door. She knocked on the door but got no reply, so she turned the knob, and surprisingly, the door wasn't locked. She came out of the room and saw a big hallway; this house looked like a castle. She didn't have any idea where she was.

Eva is very nervous, and she wanted to get out of there somehow. She runs from there and reaches a door. She opens the door and sees a huge field like garden, in front of which there is a big iron gate at the end. She stepped out to go in that direction, and she heard some faint sounds. Holding her heart, she went towards that sound out of curiosity. It was another part of that mansion, and she stepped in that direction.

She sees in front of her that some people are holding a man, and Rafael is standing in front of them, who have a gun in his hand. Eva 's eyes widen, and she gets scared. Her eyes were staring at the man who had kidnapped her. How strange it is that he couldn't believe that this man was the same man with whom she had spent a night, and she didn't even realize how dangerous this man could be.

Rafael points the gun at that man, and within a few moments, he fires the gun, and the man's head gets blown to pieces, seeing this terrible sight. Eva screams and faints on the spot, but her scream attracts everyone's attention, and Rafael rushes towards her.

How did she come out of the room? He yells at his men and picks up Eva ; you shouldn't have seen this baby girl, he says, and he takes her back inside the mansion.

Eva awakens the next morning to discover that she is unable to move her hand. When she looked closely, her hand was rope-tied to the bedpost, and she looked to the front, where Rafael was shirtless. He was sitting on the couch, as if waiting for her to wake up.

Eva recalls last night how this man brutally murdered a man, and hatred has filled her heart.

Eva looks into his eyes.

"So it was true that you are associated with the mafia; then why didn't you agree when I asked the question?"

Rafael laughs

"You asked the wrong question, baby girl."

Rafael gets up and walks slowly towards her, and Eva tries hard to free herself.

"No need to lie. I saw your cruelty last night."

"When did I say that I am not related to the mafia, but I am not only related to the mafia, but I am a MAFIA KING myself, baby girl?"

Hearing this Eva 's body shudders.

Rafael comes closer to her, and Eva is still trying to free herself.

Rafael's gaze is intense as he continues, "You should be careful who you associate with, especially someone like me." Eva's heart races as she realizes the danger she may be in. Despite her fear, she musters up the courage to ask, "What do you want from me?" Rafael smirks, his grip tightening on her arm. "I want you to do a little favor for me, baby girl. And trust me, you won't be able to say no."

There was no fear in Eva's eyes, and Rafael was looking into her eyes.

"Why have you tied my hands? Free me now. Why have you kidnapped me? After all, what have I done wrong to you?"

"You stole something very important to me."

"What rubbish I didn't steal anything from you"

"You did it baby girl and you know what you stole" "That's my heart."

"Free me now and let me go. I have no time for your nonsense. I have been missing for 24 hours. By now, everyone would have started searching for me. You will not be able to keep me here for long. I have a boyfriend, and my boss will also look for me; it is impossible for you to escape. So let me go."

Hearing this, Rafael laughs loudly, and Eva looks at him with surprise.

Rafael climbs on the bed and moves towards where Eva was lying. He spreads her legs, sits on his knees between her legs, and brings his face close to Eva's face. Their faces were so close that when Rafael talks, his lips touch Eva's lips, but despite all this, Eva is not afraid.

She can feel the warmth of his breath on her skin, sending shivers down her spine. Rafael's eyes bore into hers, filled with a mixture of desire and something deeper. Eva's heart races in her chest, unsure of what to expect next.

Eva is uncomfortable being so close to him and turns her face away, but Rafael hold her chin and turns her face towards him again.

"When I talk, your eyes should be on me; only you have the right to make eye contact with me."

Eva's heart races as she meets Rafael's intense gaze. She struggles to maintain her composure, unsure of how to respond to his commanding presence.

"What do you think, baby girl? I'm not a Mafia King like that; do you think I didn't think about all that you just said? First of all, you don't have a boyfriend you yourself said that remember," she closed her eyes cause her lie caught,

"And even if you had, he wouldn't be able to do anything to me; secondly, your boss, to whom I have sent the answer to that useless question of yours by mail; and thirdly, I have also sent your resignation letter. I have sent it to your boss, and it is clearly written in it that you are going away from this city, and the last and most important is your family, where now your father, your stepmother, and your stepbrother, who do not care about you and will never try to find you. They won't try. They only care about your money, which I'll send them, so baby girl, there's no one looking for you; you're stuck with me, and there's no crime in keeping what's mine anyway. "

"I promise to take care of you and keep you safe. You are not alone in this, and I will do everything in my power to protect you from any harm that may come your way. Trust me; I will always be here for you."

"You are out of your mind, murderer and kidnapper," she screams.

"I don't want to be with you; let me go."

Rafael was near her face, and now he gets angry too.

"I am talking with love, so don't underestimate that I can't do anything to you, baby girl; right now you are under my control, and don't force me to lose my patience because the punishment will be too much for you to bear. "

"What do you want from me?"

"You also know the answer, baby girl; I want you. And I will do whatever it takes to make you mine, Rafael growled, his grip tightening on her arm. She could feel his hot breath on her skin, sending shivers down her spine. Despite her fear, she knew one thing for sure: she had to find a way to escape from this dangerous man before it was too late."

"Why, me?" she asked.

"Good question, baby girl. Are you scared of me?"

"Not at all," Eva said without fear, looking into his eyes, and Rafael smirked."

"That's what made me fall in love with you, baby girl."

"Huh!"

"Till date, no girl has shown so much courage to make eye contact with me, to talk to me, to talk about me and to spend time with me without any greed, but you are the first girl who caught my attention. You are the one I was looking for."

"And why do you think I will also love you and stay with you"

"Because I will make you fall in love with me"

"Huh! "She smirks

 "It's not easy Rafael, I'm not something you like so you'll keep me with you, you can't force me to love you."

"Exactly, you will fall naturally, let's make a deal. I give you 7 months to stay with me, and I will try my best to make you fall in love with me. If you still don't fall in love with me, then I will free you."

Eva looks at him with disbelief.

"Baby girl, don't worry; I won't touch you without your permission."

"What if I don't accept this deal?"

"Then you will have to live with me like this for the rest of your life; against your will, you have a better option."

With that, Rafael gets off the bed and walks towards the door, and Eva tries to free herself.

"And there is a special kind of knot on these ropes; the more you move, the tighter they become, so if I were in your place, I would not even think of moving."

"Untie my hand,"

"First, assure me that you won't try to run away."

"How will I win your trust without you setting me free?"

"Trust has to be earned, baby girl."

With this, Rafael leaves from there.

"Fuck you, Rafael Fucking King. She shouts"

"Sure" the door closes.
