--The Captor--
When he kidnapped her, all he expected was a weak, pampered rich woman. What she actually was completely different. She was a fighter, a survivor, a wily seductress, and a genuinely beautiful and giving soul who destroyed some of the darkness that lurked inside him. The more time he spent around her, the more he became addicted. And before he knew it— he was falling in love with the wife of his enemy...
--The Captive--
When she was taken, all she knew was that her captor was dangerous. He had snatched her from her fairytale life, so he could use her as a tool for his revenge. But each time she spoke to him, and spent time in his company, he made her heart feel things it shouldn't. Under the cold, hard and cruel layers, she saw the real man. Soon, the lines were beginning to blur between what was needed and what she actually wanted...
EXCERPT
Nina hated the wait.
She sat in the corner of the room with her back against the wall and her eyes trained on the door. She was sure her captor would return to torture her painfully for stabbing him in the arm.
She felt a crippling exhaustion in her body due to lack of sleep during the past few days of her captivity. Her head kept falling forward, trying to reach for the comfort of sleep. But each time it did, she jerked it back up, refusing to give in to sleep, especially when she was at her most vulnerable.
She didn’t know whether attacking him was a logical move. But when he had stalked her in a slow, unhurried manner, with menace radiating from his body, demanding his knife back, he had looked like a hunter who had cornered his prey. And she, his trembling, whimpering prey.
Her mind had instantly rebelled at the comparison of herself with a prey. She wasn’t weak. She had never been weak. Even when the odds were heavily stacked against her, she had always fought back. So, not making it any exception, she had sliced his arm.
And now, the thought of what he could do to her was tearing her apart.
Will he come to her room tonight? And if he did, what would he do? Will he follow through his threats?
She thought about the video taken to send to Suraj. Her captor had spoken about the follow-up videos. She didn’t have to guess about his intentions of what the later videos would contain.
Nina’s thoughts threatened to take her into darkness to escape into a place where there would be no worry or fear.
Don’t you dare give up!
She shivered and rubbed at her trembling arms as her mind ordered her not to give in to fear. But even as she talked herself into being brave, her heart almost stopped when the door to the room opened.
Her captor entered the room once again.
