Chapter 3
Waking up again on a soft bed Olivia was thoroughly annoyed at yet again fainting. Sighing as she hoisted herself out of the huge bed, she paced around the room thinking abut what had happened the night before. Getting even more frustrated as she had no idea how she could be alive, Olivia gave up and started to look for a exit. Finding the door she pushed through it and was stunned at the bathroom she saw before her. Seemingly carved from out of the wall, a enormous marble bath dominated the room. She could smell the scent of lavender and jasmine floating about, and the exotic colours of blue, red, purples and gold added to the luxurious feel of what the bath would be. Taking a deep breath Olivia closed her eyes and imagined herself sinking into the huge bath and never getting out.
"If you would like a bath I could be gentleman and help you?" whispered Dominic as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
Giving a small gasp at the surprise of him, she immediately tensed as she felt him hug her and the instantly dismissed the provocative words he spoke.
Hearing her gasp he gave a small laugh and kissed her neck. Feeling her remain tense, he gave a small sigh.
"Maybe we'll give the bath another day, I think it's time we talk. Don't you think?"
Not waiting for an answer he spun her around, grabbed her hand and led her back into the bedroom, sitting her down on the end of the huge bed.
" I know the past few days have not been pleasant Olivia but you need to trust me…"
"Trust you!" Olivia blurted out in disbelief "Oh, and what makes you think these past few days haven't been pleasant?" sarcasm dripping from her voice. "Oh, Dominic they've been much more then pleasant , I mean I just love strangers kidnapping me and trying to kill me and .." she stopped, running out of steam.
"Are you finished? Good, now I think before we go any further I should explain the rules. One, you are to never leave my side unless I tell you to, am I understood?" seeing her shocked face start to flush red with anger he continued on as if he hadn't noticed. "Two, there will be no talking when im talking, it is rude and I don't approve or allow it."
Boiling with anger Olivia couldn't keep quiet any longer.
" Rules, Rules!, you expect me to just sit here and obediently follow you like a lost little puppy dog?"
"No, not a puppy dog I think, I never much liked them. But if you want to sit there obediently I honestly don't mind at all" smirking at the thought "Actually I would rather quite enjoy it, certainly would make parties all the more entertaining." smiling even wider at the look of pure hatred on her face he continued on. "Rule three, when I am not present you must not try and escape again. We have been there and done that and look at all the trouble it has caused. Anyway eternity with me isn't so bad, if I was you id be jumping up and down, unable to contain my excitement."
"Excitement!! Are you insane? Why the hell would I be excited to be here?" she yelled as she stood up, to frustrated to sit any longer. Growing angrier as she saw him smile, she thought about hitting him but dismissed the idea as ridiculous. But as she watched him walk over to her and knowing he was going to kiss her, she realised she was trying to kid herself. Of course she was ridiculous, she wouldn't be here if she wasn't, and as he hauled her into his arms she managed to get a hand free and slap him in the face. She knew the slap hadn't hurt him but she was stunned when pushed her away and walked over to the door.
"Tread carefully, my Olivia for I have told you the rules and there will be consequences for breaking them. And do not worry I wont disturb you again until the boat arrives at our destination." he walked out of the room, into the hallway and started to shut the door, but stopped.
"Just think about this while im gone; there are worst things out there than me, I would not do you any harm. I can show you the world, give you anything you want, but first you must trust me. Now go and enjoy your bath I hope it helps."
firmly closing the door behind him with a small thump, she heard the lock click and his footsteps become lighter as he walked away.
Olivia was too stunned to do anything for a few moments as she replayed in her mind what had just happened.
He must be crazy, that's it! God I always attract the crazy ones. I cant believe he just walked away like that. I know he told me he wouldn't be back but I don't rust him, there probably camera's all in here. I wonder when he will be back though, I need a plan when I see him next, next when the boat makes it's destination? Oh god!!
Running over to the opposite side of the room, she glanced out of the small window and realised for the first time that she was on a boat. Disbelieving, she quickly opened and closed her eyes hoping it was just a dream. Disappointed that it wasn't she decided she need to make a plan quickly before Dominic came back.
Let's see, I probably could try to escape again but it never seems to work.
She shuddered at the thought of Marcus, Dominic's brother who had bite her after he promised to help her. Nope, running way is not the best move… I've got it!… he says he'll take me to see the world, but only if I trust him. As hard as it will be I'll pretend to fall in love with him and convince him to take me to Greece. I have family there, when we get there I can escape and I'll have family to hide with.
Smiling at herself for her great plan, she walked back into the bathroom and decided she would risk taking a bath.
Walking towards Olivia's room a few hours later, Dominic was mentally preparing himself for another battle of wills. He hated having to be tough with his fiancé, (even if she didn't know it) but it was necessary in order to protect her from things even worse then his brother. Feeling his anger rise at the thought of his brother, he pushed it aside knowing it was no good being angry while trying to gain Olivia's trust. He knew he didn't need her trust for what he had installed, but he couldn't help but selfishly want it all. For as soon as he had her trust he would also have her love.
Smiling at the thought he stopped at her door and knocked lightly. After waiting a few seconds and still no answer, Dominic unlocked the door and walked in.
Surprised to find the room empty, Dominic became panicked.
I cant believe she didn't obey me orders. Didn't I explain the dangers of trying to escape again. Wait, how could she escape? The door was locked, so how could she be gone?
Rushing over to the bathroom, Dominic threw the door open and was rewarded with a ear piecing scream from Olivia.
"Dominic! What the hell do you think your doing in here? Just get out you big pervert" Olivia screamed at him while groping around for a towel to cover herself.
Relief washing over him now that he had found Olivia, Dominic even found himself giving a slight laugh at even the thought of Olivia escaping from here. It was impossible he knew but still the thought had made him anxious.
Hearing him laugh Olivia felt herself blush red with anger.
How dare he just burst through the door and start laughing at me. God I know I don't look the best but he is such a ass! fuming with anger Olivia found a towel and wrapped it violently around herself. Making sure it was firmly secured she stalked towards the bedroom, making sure to ram him as she passed.
Dominic was vaguely aware of what Olivia was doing but was more concerned with his own thoughts. He was jolted back into reality as he felt her ram him to the side as she stalked back into the bedroom. Sighing, he followed her back into the bedroom.
"I'm sorry that I walked in on you Olivia, I really am. I knocked on the bedroom door and when you didn't answer I thought something had happened"
"More like you think I had escaped" she muttered to herself in reply. "It's not important anyway, it doesn't matter why you walked in, your still a horrible man and I wish I had never met you" hear voice becoming louder with each word.
"Why do you say things like that Olivia it was fate that put us together. You know that. Why is it that you hate me so much?" beginning to sound rather tired of the whole conversation.
"Why do I hate you so much? You know why Dominic, you kidnapped me and you hang around murders that's why." her voice becoming softer as she ran out of steam. "And you laughed at me."
"Laughed at you! When did I laugh at you?.. Oh, do you mean back in the bathroom? I wasn't laughing at you might sweet little Olivia. How could laugh at someone so beautiful, I had other things on my mind." smiling now that he knew why she was upset he continued on. "I promise you my sweet little Olivia next time I walk in on you, you can be assured I shall not laugh. I cannot promise what else I might do but I will not laugh"
Feeling herself becoming frustrated with his total lack of caring, she picked up a pillow and threw it at him.
Catching it Dominic threw it straight back at her, hitting her in the head.
"You know Olivia, maybe we need to take you to see someone. You seem to have a problem with your anger. Personally im scared for my safety, I mean you do tend to get very violent towards me when your angry, hell you get violent when your not." he was barely able to get the words out before he stated laughing.
"Ha ha very funny" her voice filled with sarcasm. "If im so violent why are you still here? Hmm. Anyway I would like to get dressed so did you come for any reason other then to torture me."
"Now now Olivia the only torture that you have is self inflicted. You want me, we both know you do, but you refuse to admit it, even to yourself, so yes I can see why your tortured. I guess it doesn't help that I look so very sexy." watching in amusement, Olivia's mouth open in shock of his honesty he continued on before she could recover. "But my sweet little one you are right I did come here for another reason, the boat shall reach the port in about 20 minutes, so I suggest you find something to wear and I shall be back soon." walking back over to the hallway door he took was last glance at her almost naked form and a smile appeared on his face. "As much as I love your beautiful body, you'll find some clothes in the wardrobe for you." and with that he was out of the bedroom, the door firmly shut behind him.
Running over to the wardrobe she grabbed the first thing that came into sight. It was a red dress that hugged her body down to her waist were it flared out to float down to just above her knees. She quickly dried her hair and searched for a brush. Finding one in the bathroom, Olivia quickly brushed all the knots out and fixed her appearance up as best as possible. Olivia had only just finished fixing herself up when she heard a knock on the door once again. Walking over she slowly opened it expecting to see Dominic. Instead she was faced with a huge imposing man she didn't recognise.
"Hello there you must be Olivia my name is Fredrick" the man said in a friendly tone. He waited for a reply but when none came he continued on. "I guess your wondering where Dominic is? Well don't worry you'll see him soon enough, but for now you have me. I'm Dominic's, I guess you would call it.. his right hand man? Anyway it is of no matter, I am here to escort you to the castle and make sure no one comes near you."
"Castle? What castle? Im not going to any castle, no way! Im sorry if I seem mean but this hasn't been fun for me and I really want to leave. Cant you take me back home, you can just tell Dominic I escaped cant you?" Olivia asked desperately.
Hoping for him to help her, she was outraged when he jus started laughing at her. "Really, miss you are a funny one. Wait till I tell the boys about this one. You? escape me? I don't thinks so."
Grabbing her arm he gently pulled her out of her room and shut the door behind them. Walking her slightly in front of him, they proceeded down the hall and up a flight of steps onto the deck.
The view was stunning and as Olivia saw her first glimpse she was shocked. She could see the port and lots of people walking around, most selling buying things from little stalls. And as she was lead over towards the side of the boat, where the plank was connecting them to the port, Olivia noticed a huge castle poking out of the trees on the top of the mountain. Olivia was distracted from her sight seeing by Fredrick's arm giving her a hard squeeze before she pushed up onto the plank and over onto the port deck. There was no more time left to look around as she was lead straight to the end of the deck in what seemed almost a run. Apparently finding their car, Frederick opened it's door and pushed her into the limousine back seat before slamming the door shut.
"Well it's about time you got here, I was beginning to wonder if you had decided to be stupid again and refuse to come out."
Hearing his voice Olivia spun around and was confronted with Dominic lounging on the seat opposite herself.
