A story by Faith Lucky
Rated 18+
Roxanne’s POV
It was so dark.
I f0rç£d my eyes open and felt so much discomfort.
Where am I?
I tried to move but discovered my hands and legs were tied.
What?
What’s going on?
No!
Nicklaus!
I g@sped as I suddenly recalled what had happened.
Zara…she tricked me and made Nicklaus adopt me.
Where am I?
What happened?
I strained my eyes but couldn’t see a thing in the room. It was just too dark and i was tied to a chair.
“Hello?” I called fearfully, but my voice c@m£ back to me in an echo.
The ropes were hurting a lot.
What is this?
How do I get out of here?
Suddenly, I heard the door open and the lights went on immediately.
What?
Nicklaus!
He was the one coming in.
“Hello slee-ping beauty” he sm-irked as he walked towards me.
Then, someone else showed up at the door, but didn’t come in.
Whaaat?
It was Shantel!
The maid!
I…I don’t un-derstand. What’s going on?
I could feel my heart thumping.
Fear gr!pp£dme.
What could they possibly have in mind?
Zara; Shantel, Nicklaus…I can’t believe they’re working together.
Nicklaus kept smiling as he got to where I was and squ-atted in front of me.
“How’re you feeling, huh?” He asked, but I was too blenched to say a word.
He brushed the front p@rt of my hair and tucked it behind my ear.
“You’re one pretty lady, you know?” He said.
“No wonder even Lucifer couldn’t resist you. Well, I guess it’s time to know how much he really loves you.”
I stared at him, confused.
What’s he talking about? What does he mean ‘know how much he really loves me?’
Damon doesn’t love me – not even a single bit. So, what’s he talking about?
Damon’s Pov
I relaxed on the couch with a glas-s of drink in my hand as I stared at the bloated guards in front of me.
They were all drenched in fear.
“So…you’re tryna tell me she just vanished?” I asked and took a sip from my glas-s.
“We…We really have no idea sir…”
“I do.” One of them suddenly cut in.
“I had seen her leaving with Zara. But I have no idea where they went. I swear”.
I stared at the drink in my hand.
He was telling the truth.
So, where was Roxanne? Where did Zara take her to?
I just returned from the office and surprisingly, I couldn’t find her.her at home. Zara was not at home either.
So, where’re they?
I scoffed and drank from my glas-s.
My guess had better been wrong.
My phone awakened with a ring and I checked to see it was a strange caller.
I hesitated a little before picking up.
“Hey Lu; how’re you chilling?” The caller said and I knew who it was at once.
Really?
I drank from my glas-s and didn’t say a word.
“Come on, Lucifer; don’t keep me quiet. Aren’t you missing our Roxanne?” He asked and chuckled, but I still didn’t say a word.
I s-en-sed it alre-ady.
“She asked me to say hi” he said and chuckled again.
“Where’s she?” I asked and drank from my glas-s.
“Awwn! You really wanna know? I’m sorry, but it’s gotta come with a price” he replied.
I stood up and walked levelly to face the window.
“Nicklaus; if a strand of hair on her head is hurt, I’ll cut off your f!ngersand make you eat them” I said and he laughed.
“That is…If you’d be alive to carry out that threat” he replied and paused.
“If you really want Roxanne to be safe and free, sacrifice your life for hers. I want you to cause your own death, Lucifer.
Do it and save Roxanne” he blurted.
My eyes dilated and I didn’t realise when I crushed the glas-s in my hand.
What?
“You have until night fall to do so” he added and ended the call.
