Chapter 14: 14) So beautiful yet so cruel!
Authors pov
Sebestian was done with his torture in the morning when he came back and saw florina was still asleep or should he say passed out. He stood there taking his time admiring her beauty. He saw a faint bruise and a fading wound on her forehead which made him frown.
His thoughts broke when he heard her whimper. Florina's eyes widened in shock when she saw him covered in blood from head to toe.
"Took you long enough..."
He smirked looking at her horrified expressions and hearing her screams, exactly what he expected.
"Don't mind me..."
He winked at her and walked towards the bathroom.
"Wanna join?..."
He raised his eyebrows when he saw her gawking at him.
She cowered back and looked away, the blood on his body was gross and she felt like puking.
He chuckled and disappeared in the bathroom finally leaving her.
Florina sighed in relief and looked at her surroundings. His room was big and royal just like vincenzo's room, only difference was it was decorated with grey colour. She got up from the bed and whimpered when she put pressure on her ankle.
'I need to get out of here... Now...'
She panicked.
Her eyes darted towards her shoes which was near the bed, she had no idea who took them off but thankfully she was still in her knee length blue coloured dress which she was wearing yesterday. Florina limped outside and saw that no one was in the hallway, she increased her speed ignoring the pain she was feeling in her ankle.
The maids saw her running but no one dared to say anything or stop her.
It was quite weird for Florina that no one was stopping her and she didn't saw any guards like she saw in vincenzo's mansion.
"Are you trying to escape..."
She heard a mocking voice and turned around to face a blonde girl.
"Please let me go... Don't tell him..."
Florina literally pleaded.
Maria gestured her hand towards the open door.
"When did I stop you... Go"
Florina ignored the creepy feeling she got from Maria's expressions and turned on her heels. She finally stepped out of the door and started running towards the gate.
Maria sighed chewing on her bubblegum.
"He already knows... poor girl..."
She smirked at Stephen who was now standing beside her.
"What do you think, what will he do to her..."
Stephen looked at her disappointed.
"I just hope that he won't kill her..."
Maria chuckled.
"Whatever it is... It will be fun to watch..."
Florina reached towards the gate and her heart sank when she saw a lock. She tried to open it but it was of no use. The guards standing there were like statue, they didn't even spare her a glance. "Open this please let me go..."
She yelled in frustration.
When she banged her fists on the metal gate she felt little sparks of electricity making her gasp and step back.
"Tsk..tsk...tsk... I thought you are a good girl, butterfly..."
She heard his mocking voice and froze in her place. He was shirtless with only his pants on. His skin was glowing under the morning sunlight while his hair was still wet from the shower. Florina haven't noticed any tattoos that day but he had so many tattoos, more than vincenzo and they almost covered all his body.
"Listen Mr. King I didn't do anything, please... I don't know why you want to interrogate me and about what... If it's about that club night then I have already told you that it was a mistake..." She tried to keep her voice calm but Sebastian can read her like an open book. She was scared and it was amusing for him.
"Sebastian... It's Sebastian for you..."
He took a step forward, purposely giving her a threatening look and she stepped back in fear.
"And who the fuck told you to leave my room..."
"I want to leave... I haven't done anything, so you can't hurt me... Let me go NOW..."
She yelled frustratingly, all the things were taking a toll on her. The way Vincenzo treated her the next morning, she almost died by the Russians and now Sebastian was holding her captive for things she had no idea about.
On the other hand Sebastian was enjoying her struggles like an evil man, which he is. He didn't knew that she will take him so seriously, he was just messing around with her yesterday. "Let's go inside..."
He held his hand for her to take.
"No..."
She shook her head.
Sebastian pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed frustratingly.
"I won't repeat Florina. Don't test my fucking patience..."
His scolding voice send shivers to her body but she refused to obey him.
"NO..."
She stayed rooted on her ground with a stubborn face.
Sebastian reached towards her with a mad look and yanked her forward by her arms. Florina collided with his front and squeaked at his actions. She gulped feeling his hard body, her palms were on his bare chest and he felt like a hard wall. She wasn't looking in his eyes, all her courage took a back seat when he caught her in his harsh grip. Her eyes were rooted on his stomach, more precisely on his six pack abs which was covered in tattoos.
'How can someone be so beautiful yet so cruel...'
Sebestian held her chin and made her look at him.
"I give you two choice, butterfly..."
He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and whispered threateningly.
"Keep quiet and let me carry you inside or continue this behaviour and I'll drag you inside by your pretty red hair, I don't give a fuck that you have injured your leg... Choice is yours... You are going inside either way."
Florina's eyes widened in fear.
'Will he really do that... Will he drag me by my hair. He will, I can't trust him with my safety...'
She looked at his eyes and they held a promise. Promise of punishment.
"The Former..."
She mumbled with a tight throat.
"Good girl..."
He smirked and was quite disappointed that how easy it is to scare her, she gave up too easily but still his dominating side liked it. He liked how fear can make her do whatever he wants. Sebestian picked her up in bridal style and carried inside the mansion while Florina clutched on his shoulders scared that he will drop her.
Sebastian wasn't familiar with the feeling which he was getting due to her touch. He was unaware of the feeling of protecting someone and his little butterfly in his arms was making him feel that. He brought he there just because he wanted to fuck her and get over with the attraction he felt, that's it. He didn't had any further plans and neither was he planning to make some.
"That's so not Sebastian's thing... Is it?..."
Maria said smirking.
"Hmm... I was expecting him to hurt her. Atleast one slap..."
Stephen agreed.
"I still remember how he slapped you when you sneaked out of the mansion for that clubbing night... You had swollen cheek for the whole week, blue suits you by the way..." "You don't have to remind me that..."
Maria glared at him remembering how badly her cheek bruised in an angry blue color and he internally smirked at her reaction.
"Whatever Maria... The thing is Sebastian doesn't care whom he is hurting, men and women both are equal in front of him then why is he so soft with that girl..." Stephen said amused.
"Maybe because she is the one..."
Maria shook her head disappointed.
"I think my crazy brother finally found his girl... God bless that poor soul..."

Sebastian placed florina on the bed.
"Maids will help you to take a bath and other stuff, be a good girl now..."
He warned and she bit her lip preventing herself from saying something stupid and get in more trouble.
"What do you want... Can't we get over it and then I'll be free to go..."
She said looking at him frustratingly.
He chuckled.
"Trust me butterfly... I'll be more than happy to do that but_
He leaned down and kissed the corner of her lips catching her off guard.
"But you are not ready for it..."
"You shouldn't kiss someone without their permission Mr. King... You are powerful that doesn't mean you can do anything and get away with it."
She scowled making him raise his eyebrows amused and she mentally slapped herself for talking so carelessly.
"I can do worst than this, don't fucking try me and next time you talk in front of me lower your fucking voice..."
He gave her a stern look making her look down in fear.
"I have an important thing to deal with... If I heard that you tried to escape again I will break your legs florina..."
He warned and she frowned at him.
"Don't try me Butterfly..."
He leaned down and kissed her cheek before leaving. Florina didn't felt tingles when he kissed her, it was threatening 'try me and see what happens' kind of kiss.
Sebastian ordered some maids to take care of Florina and went to his office.
"I can take a bath by myself... No thank you..."
Florina said and walked towards the bathroom.
"It's not about you miss... We will get in trouble if we disobey him..."
One maid said.
'There is no way I am letting someone bath me...'
Florina scrunched her nose.
"I'll face him... You stand here and tell him that you helped me. He won't know..."
She said and locked herself in the bathroom.
The maids looked at each other in panic.
One maid tilted her head and looked at the camera in the corner of the ceiling.
"It's okay... It's not our fault, we can tell boss that she didn't let us help her..."
The other maid assured her.
"I hope he understands... I don't want to loose my life for this stupid girl..."
She said frustratingly.

After taking her bath Florina changed into a dress which the maids gave her. She came out and saw a food tray on the table.
Her stomach grumbled when delicious aroma of food invaded her nostrils.
"Do mafia really treat their captives like this..."
She sighed remembering vincenzo offered her delicious food too.
Florina ate the food and thanked the maids politely.
When the maids were leaving she turned around and her eyes fell on something familiar. Florina gasped in shock and her heart filled with happiness.
"My necklace..."
