Golden cage
The next day when the effects of the serum wore off Elle woke up with a mild headache. “Ugh! My head.” The sunlight graced her face and welcomed the lady back to the reality that she imminently looked round.
‘No, no, Sandro brought me here.’ She recalled everything clearly but in the meantime the lady found no one in the room, which kind of relieved her. ‘I have to get out of here, I can’t stay here for long. For fucks sake my wedding is in six days!’
She carefully dangled her legs from the bed and waited for anything to happen, in case somebody was around. ‘It seems no one is around, this is my chance.’ She knew that he had taken her phone in his possession, and he wasn’t a fool to let any other such access into the villa. After all, she had known Sandro for more than a year by now.
Elle stood up from the bed and it was the moment when she realised something, all the walls had her photos from the time when they both were a couple. ‘He has been keeping an eye on me for this day!?’ She saw the recent pictures of hers and Richardson in the mall, which was about a week ago.
No wonder she immediately understood that Sandro had planned her abduction cleverly, and there would be no way out of the villa. She covered her mouth in horror and shock after witnessing all the madness of his.
‘Oh, Sandro, you have to understand love can’t be forced.’ Elle slumped on the carpeted floor with her shattered heart, as guilt crept into the crack and she began to cry over the spilled milk!
“This is all my fault, I should have waited more… if I had… he would not have…” Her breathing became irregular due to the heavy crying as the lady had no clue how to react to the fact that maybe somewhere she was also the cause of his madness.
Elle’ whispering was barely audible so that no one outside the room was able to hear her sobs. But hereby I ask you, will you give in and wait for the stockholm syndrome to hit you?
“You have to let me go, Sandro, I have finally… mend my heart when you popped up. You have to deal with the reality that… you have lost me, and now can’t force your love on me.” She began to pant and tried to calm herself while trying to assure herself that she had moved on.
No doubt Elle still had some emotions for him somewhere deep down, but she was betrothed to Richardson now and Alessandro was so many months late. “I have to find a way out before this gets out of hand. He will not let me go, I know that. But there has to be some loophole in this villa.” Undoubtedly she was a beauty with brains, and as being an orphan Elle knew no one was out there looking for her except her fiance.

Meanwhile on the other hand Richardson had been roaming around his cabin impatiently, while his trustworthy secretary stood there swiping on the tablet with a keen expression. “Did you find anything, Lorenzo?”
He paused and asked his secretary with utmost hope filled in his eyes. “No, sir. There is unfortunately nothing suspicious caught by the cameras around the park.” The competent secretary informed him while shaking his head, he too became curious as to why there was no questionable activity.
“There has to be something, some clue Lorenzo. I will not buy that shit that Elle dumped me!” Richardson knew he could trust his secretary and blurted out to him, as he slammed his fists on the table in desperation.
“I know something is wrong with her, we have been together for months and I know her this much. She is not the kind of woman who would back off, or leave someone this badly.” He praised his bride to be, while declaring that Elle hadn’t left him.
“Then possibly what had happened to miss?” Lorenzo raised his question knowing that his boss treated him as his pal, and he had the privilege to speak openly. Although he had never abused his perks, the young man knew he needed to comfort his boss.
“I don’t know, what do you think?” Richardson shook his head and left all the conclusion to Lorenzo, who shoved his spectacles up on his nose and used his perk. “I’m sorry for assuming this boss, but I think Miss Elle has been kidnapped. You are not the kind of person who don’t have enemies, and since you announced the wedding to the media while miss Elle was with you in front of the camera,”
Richardson heard him carefully with all ears since his secretary had usually been correct in all his calculations, he was correct in his premise that day too. Only if he himself or even Richardson knew. “It is possible that any of your rivals might have abducted her, and if that’s the case… then miss Elle is in grave danger.”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Lorenzo completed his words and kept quiet imminently, whereas the boss pondered upon his conclusion. “It seemed the only possible theory, Lorenzo.” Richardson immediately crafted out the list of his enemies to pick the potential culprit. After all a lot of planning was required in the plan, considering how Elle, the bride of powerful CEO Richardson got abducted right under his nose! Who could have that kind of audacity!?
