I dressed up as preety as i can, and went on the poolside where Adrian had asked me to come. The view was breathe taking, The pool felt like a dream beyond this world. Soft candlelight kissed the water, turning it into liquid gold. Red rose petals drifted gently on the surface, as if they had fallen from the stars themselves. The air was quiet and magical, and for a moment, it felt like time had stopped like this beautiful place existed only for us.
Adrian didn't seem to be in a very good mood. He walked toward me quickly, almost awkwardly, and spoke in a low voice.
"I didn't want to ask you this," he said, hesitating, "but maybe I should. You need to talk to Ezel. He's worried sick and won't stop bothering me until he knows you're okay."
I froze, unsure how to react.
Ezel my boss. The man I once believed I was in love with. Ever since I had arrived in Paris, I had almost completely forgotten about him.
"It's going to be alright," Adrian said gently, brushing his fingers through my hair. His touch was comforting, but my heart was racing with nervousness.
Adrian dialed Ezel's number. From where I stood, I could hear their voices rise, sharp, tense, filled with anger.
"Adrian, stop overreacting," Ezel snapped on the call. "I haven't tied her up or anything. She's fine."
After a few minutes, Adrian sighed and handed the phone to me.
"Here," he said softly.
I brought the phone to my ear, my heart pounding.
"H-hello?"
"Erica," Ezel's voice broke instantly. "Are you okay? Did that bastard hurt you? If he laid a hand on you, I swear I won't spare him....."
There was silence. Then his voice came back, low and filled with regret.
"I should have never let you go that day, im so sorry Erica, You got trapped because of my matter."
My grip on the phone tightened.
"Do you know how much I miss you?" he said, his voice turning tender. "Your voice, your stubbornness, the way you look at me when you're pretending not to care."
"Ezel…" I whispered.
"Erica… you have no idea what you do to me," Ezel said quietly. "The moment i realised that Walter abducted you, Paris felt, I wanted to kill him but sorry my hand were tied. That motherfucker will pay taking u away from me. I kept imagining you hurt, scared, alone."
His voice trembled. "I couldn't sleep. I couldn't think. I realized how much I depend on the sound of your voice."
"You're safe, right?" he asked gently. "Tell me you're safe."
"Yes," I whispered. "I am."
Adrian seemed preety annoyed and jealous of the convo, he grabbed me through my waist. And started pressing my boobs.
"Erica, after this j wont let you go anywhere, No matter with whom I have to fight with. Maybe thats with you, Lucus Walter or myself....." Ezel said, my heart pounded, but i was honestly disturbed by Adrian. He started pressing my nipples with no mercy.
I wanted to moaned but I control because Ezel words were more important to me.
"Ezel.... please please take care of yourself....." I said while I was struggling to moan.
Hearing my words Adrian snatched the phone from my hands.
"Enough Ezel, I did what I promise. Now dont disturb me." He said.
I had tears in my eyes...
"Erica?" Adrian called my name seeing tears in my eyes and tried holding me.
I pushed him away. "Go away Adrian, Get the Hell out of here" I said.
