Giving In

Evelyn's Point of View

Damn it!!

Amanda and Jax would pay with their blood for putting me in this position. I was left stuck with this madman, and only God knows what he would do to me. My chin was freed as he seized my hand and pulled me towards the car. He didn't even give me a chance to utter another word; he shoved me inside the car and hung his head inside the car.

“Little thief, if you try any funny business, I'll make sure you bury your whole family tonight.” His tone was even, devoid of any emotions.

I rolled my eyes... “What more can you do, jerk?” My body temperature rose; he was right on my neck, and I'd had it with him. I was already in his custody; he couldn't scare me anymore; he might as well go to hell for all I care.

He chuckled, letting out a cold and dark sound, his eyes pierced mine. I glared right into his eyes without flinching…

“Death is my only fear on this planet.” My words were sharp and stern... “Don't think you can scare me, Arthur Madison.”

He let out the most arrogant laugh which didn't last even for ten seconds… “That is about to change, little thief. Very soon, you'd tremble at the mention of my name and bow to me.” I snorted, my gaze staring at him from head to toe…

“Oh, I'm scared.” I taunted, a smirk stretching on my lips... “Should I hide my face behind the pillow and cry, would that make you feel like a man?” Arthur's face turned red, his gaze darkening, piercing right into my soul; I swallowed painfully hard, and I immediately regretted my words, but what could I do? I was as angry as he was.

“Take her to the basement and lock her in the red room…” Arthur's voice was sharp and stern, my eyes widened at his words, I didn't need anyone to tell me what happened in the red room. They'd locked me in a dark room with only a small bathroom, no food, only darkness and I was afraid of the dark.

Before I could get the chance to utter a word, the driver drove away.

My heart pounded in my chest as the guard dragged me through the corridor of the basement, one of them kicked the door open and they pushed me inside locking the door from outside, the room was utterly dark, and silence echoed inside the room taunting me, and the air was heavy and all the unseen shapes.

Beads of sweat trickled down my forehead, my pulse racing in my ears; staying here was just my worst nightmare; I couldn't stay here, fear was now gripping my whole body.

Hot tears streamed down my face as I curled my body into a ball in the small corner, hugging my knees and hiding my face between my legs.

I can't believe Jax played with my emotions like this, he never cared about me, he was only pretending all he wanted was my intelligence, he used it and pushed me away like I was some worthless garbage and now I am stuck in this dark room all alone, I'm going to make them pay for what they did to me, I won't spare anyone...

Time turned into a blur as I stayed in the dark room. It was just me and my demons, my fears, and my broken soul, there was no way to run, to hide, each passing second felt like I was in a sea filled with sharks, ready to make a meal out of me and each second I was fighting for my survival but there was no way out, I cried my heart out until I didn't even have any more tears to cry, I screamed until I could not hear my own voice, fatigue was now taking over me, hunger gnawing at me with each passing second…

At this point, I'd do anything even if I became Arthur's whore, as long as I didn't stay in this room for another second; if I stayed in here for another second, I'd lose my mind completely. I can't be here anymore.

As if God was listening to my prayers, the sound of the lock being twisted echoed inside the room, with the little energy I had left I sprang to my feet and hurried to the door, it swung open and my eyes were met with the last person I wanted to see on this planet, I swallowed hard as his cold gaze met with mine...

“I hope you've come to your senses, little Thief...” He stood tall, shoulders squared, spine straightened, his cold gaze right into mine; my limbs shook at his presence; as much as I didn't want to fear him, I feared to stay in this room for another second.

I cleared my dry throat... “Please get me out of here, and I'll obey you..” I forced words out of my mouth. I've always hated swallowing my ego and pride, but at this moment, I had no option; I needed to get out of here.

Arthur's lips twisted into a smirk, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction.. “Good Girl..” His voice was low and husky. “Now I want you to speak after me.” I balled my trembling hand into a tight fist, swallowing the lump forming in my throat.

“I, Evelyn Miller, agree to be your personal whore and fulfill all your sexual needs like a good little slut.” My body tensed up at his word, my heart now pounding against my chest; I exhaled deeply, trying to keep my emotions in check; if I lost my cool now, I'd stay in this dark room once again.

“I don't mind locking you into this room for another three days, little Thief.” My veins pulsed beneath my skin, my heart pounded against my chest, rage cursing through me.

“I, Evelyn Miller, agree to be your personal whore and fulfill all your sexual needs like a good little slut!” My jaws tightened as I forced words out of my mouth, Arthur's cold laughter echoed inside the quiet room, his voice laughter dripping with satisfaction, I blinked back the tears that threatened to burst out of my eyes, it felt as though someone was squeezing my ribs and the pain was just too unbearable. I swear I'd avenge this humiliation, and if I can't do it, then my name isn't Evelyn.

“Good..” Arthur's words were sharp and short, he grabbed my hand and began dragging me out of the basement, my knees were too weak due to the hunger and I couldn't keep up with his pace, he stood and turned to me before I could even react, he lifted me onto his shoulder, throwing me there like I was some kind of weightless potato sack.
