My eyes flutter open, and I blink a few times, trying to adjust to the dark room—the only light coming from a small window to the right of me, with a slither passing through the gap in the steel door to my left. There’s a dull ache at my temples, and my throat is dry and scratchy.

It’s only when I try to lift my fingers to massage my throbbing temples that I realise my hands are bound behind my back, locked with a metal chain coming from the cold brick wall behind me.

What the hell?

I take a few steps forwards but stop when the metal digs into my wrists, preventing me from going any further. My eyes move over the room, scanning the minimal contents. There’s a small single bed in the corner with only a grey blanket and small white pillow as décor, and a stainless-steel toilet sits opposite, cold and unwelcoming.

That’s it.

There is nothing more to offer in this room but bitter cold and emptiness.

“Leonardo,” I call out, my voice quivering as my panic grows. “This isn’t funny.”

Long, tense, silent minutes pass without answer. My heart races as time passes, the throbbing in my head worsening the longer I stand there staring into the darkness. This has to be some sick prank that Leonardo is playing. He’s the only person it could be.

But why?

I call out again, my voice cracking more with each word. Without a clock, I don’t know how much time passes, it could be minutes, or hours. Time means nothing down here in the darkness.

When the echo of footsteps across hardwood sounds, my body sags in relief as I let out a deep breath. Black Italian leather shoes are the first thing I see before black dress trousers and a black shirt that clings tight to his muscled frame fill my vision as he steps closer. A far cry from the casual workout clothes he was sporting earlier.

Then, he looked like a semi-normal guy, or as normal as someone who looks like Leonardo could look.

Right now, though?

He is a made man through and through.

“Princess,” he murmurs, his expression blank as he reaches out to me. He fingers the cuffs at my wrist, lightly touching my skin as he does. I’m powerless to him, and there is nothing I can do about it. Butterflies soar in my stomach when he moves his hand away, running it over the metal links of the chains.

“What is this place? What are you doing? Can you please unchain me?”

“Why should I?” Cocking his head, he tugs on the metal so harshly it has my back arching and my chin tilting towards him. “Perhaps I’m teaching you a lesson.”

“What lesson is that?” I ask breathlessly, swallowing hard over the lump in my throat. His eyes follow the movement as my throat bobs, darkening when they land back on my face.

“What happens when you get taken by the enemy,” he deadpans, moving his hand from the metal to fist my hair. He tugs my head back farther as he stares down at me.
