Chapter 26,

Basement

Rose

Sitting alone in that cold basement wearing nothing but her silk shirt and her panties Rose was freezing to death, her body was shivering and her once rosy red lips had turned blue. Her body was beaten and bruised, her eye swollen so badly she couldn't see, her head was throbbing and she could hear her own faint heartbeat. She didn't know how long she'd been waiting, minutes, hours, days or even weeks. Rose had no clue. She hadn't seen the sunlight since the day she was kidnapped from what she considered her home and she felt ready to have everything to just be over.

The only thing she could think about was that there was no one coming for her, she was all alone in this dark cold basement and this is where her life would end. Alone. The only faces she had seen were the faces of her captors and the man who controlled them all. He was older with thinning gray hair and he had the most vicious smirks Rose had ever seen. That smirk sent chills down her spine and made her fear for her life. Rose had lost her fight she didn't have it in her anymore she was exhausted, neither her body or her mind could take it anymore, Rose had had enough and she wanted to die.

The sound of the basement door brought Rose out of her staring haze, she looked up from the floor and met the eye of the man who brought her so much pain and torment. Victor smiled his chilling smile as he reached the last step of the staircase and looked into Rose's eyes. She saw the satisfaction on his face as he looked her over from her freezing feet to her almost colourless and greasy hair.

Rose had learned to keep her face blank, it made the pain a little more bearable. She hadn't screamed since Victor´s son, and her ex Jacob, had beaten her with his belt and only beat her harder every time she cried out when the leather hit her legs and her lower back.

"Hello my little Rose, how are we doing today? Feeling a little chattier than yesterday? I do hope you answer my questions truthfully and without a fight or Jacob will have to beat it out of you. We don't want to damage that beautiful skin of yours any more than we have to"

Looking straight at Victor standing in front of her Rose kept her blank face intact. Show no fear and keep your head held high. She didn't even blink she didn't have the power to, she felt beaten to the end of her limit. Sighing loudly and dramatically Victor turned his head towards the staircase and screamed for his son

"Jacob, get down here boy, and bring that belt with you. Our little Rose needs a little motivation" Waiting a few minutes for his son to reply Victor looked at Rose and then at the staircase again when he heard the stomping of feet coming down the stairs and the loud ´smack´of the belt hitting the wall.

"Hello, Rosie. Are we ready for some motivation?, I think we are" Standing at the bottom of the stairs, was one of the men Rose wished were dead. She had never felt hatred so strong in her entire life, she wanted to see the life drain from his eyes and to see his lifeless body lying at her feet.

Slowly he limped towards her and grabbed her jaw between his fingers squeezing so tight it felt like her jaw was about to crack, but she refused to cry out, only making him squeeze tighter. Holding her head so she looked right into his eyes he leaned into the side of her head, licked her ear and sucked on her earlobe.

Feeling the need to throw up Rose tried to turn her head to the side but he bit so hard down on her ear it broke the skin, blood ran down her neck and her chest staining her shirt. This time she couldn't help the loud cry that escaped her throat, the stinging in her ear traveled to her head making her head throb even more than it had for such a long time.

Jacob let go off her ear but kept the grip on her jaw just as tight as before, his eyes were shining with amusement and the bloody grin on his face made her freeze in her seat.

"Now that's better, I want to hear you cry, scream and shake in agony before I slit your throat from ear to ear and watch you choke to death on your own blood when you gasp for air, hoping your daddy will come and save his little princess"

Rose didn't care that her heart was breaking at his words, she knew her father would never leave her like this, he loved her and if she knew her father right he and her brothers were out there looking for her right this moment. But something tugged at her, why hadn't they found her yet and how long had she been in this hellhole.

"Or better yet, maybe it's Dimitri you're hoping for. Maybe you think he'll break down the door to get to you. Sorry sweetheart but why would he come to save his little mistress. Hmm, aren't you just that? His mistress."

Rose glared even harder at him not wanting him to see how hurt she was knowing Dimitri wasn't even thinking about her or where she was.

"He won't even care when we return your body to your father bloody, bruised and defiled after I have my way with you in the most personal way you can imagine. He doesn't love you, he doesn't even care that you're gone"

Rose kept her mouth shut for the first time in her life, she didn't want to answer him, she didn't want to show him how much her body, heart and soul hurt. Apparently Jacob didn't like her silence because he slapped her so hard her head flew to the side with a loud smack echoing through the basement. He didn't stop there, another slap to her other check wiped her head to the other side and she could feel her lip being split open with the force of the blow, and she whimpered when she felt the sting of the pain on her cheek and the taste of blood in her mouth.

She didn't cry. She had cried too much in her past when this man would lay a blow to her. A mere slap in the face was nothing she had suffered much worse. But the fear of being left beaten and raped at her parents doorstep made tears well up in her eyes making her sight fuzzy.

Rose knew he wanted her to cry, to scream, to beg for her life and she didn't at first. She took blow after blow of his fists in her face and against her ribs, she could feel the swelling under her skin and she knew her face was bruised in every way. But the smack of the belt against her thighs was what finally made her scream out in pain, Jacob kept whipping her legs over and over again until she had sobbed for she didn't even know how long, until he finally stopped. Her chin fell to her chest, her body gave up and she became numb.

Noticing her lack of response no doubt, Rose heard the belt in his hand clatter to the floor and his heavy breathing after abusing her body. But the thing he did next broke her, she heard him fumble with his belt buckle as he spoke to her

"Get on your knees and open your mouth" Jacob smirked at her. At those words Rose's head snapped up and she glared at the man with eyes so swollen she could barely see him anymore. She didn't care the only thing running through her mind were the words of the man she loved

"The only time you go down on your knees for a man is when I bend you over, on your hands and knees, with your plump sun kissed ass right in front of me ready for my taking and red after my palm. You hear me?"

Dimitri´s booming voice in her head brought some of her fire back as she grit her teeth and gave the man in front of her one of the most vicious expressions she could muster

"No!"

The smirk on Jacob´s face vanished in an instant at that one simple word coming from her mouth. Rose kept glaring at the men in front of her until Jacob hissed at her

"I said get down on your fucking knees, Now!"

Gritting her teeth once again Rose growled in a dry gritty voice "And I said. No!" still glaring she gritted out again

"Do I need to spell it out for you, N - O. You want it in other languages? Hayır! Нет! Chan eil! No, I am not getting on my fucking knees. Not for you, not for anyone" her voice was hoarse but firm, her eyes turned into slits

"You think you're scary?" She questioned "Cause I've seen scary" her lips twisted into a tired and a wicked smirk "and you ain't got his smile"

Dimitri

Three weeks, they waited.

Dimitri barely slept, he kept his phone on him at all times.

Vitaly had been in constant contact with one of Abe's men and one day,

Dimitri finally got the call

Abe

Holding the phone tight in his hand Abe waited for Dimitri to pick up. He and his men were rushing through the coal dark night in six black SUV's to get to his daughter's location. He had found his little girl and he was going to do anything to get her back in his arms.

"Have you found her?" Dimitri's gruff voice barked through the phone

"I found her, I'm sending you the address right now I'm already on the way, bring as many men as you can spear I want all the hands I can get"

"Of course just send me the address i'm getting in the car as we speak" Abe heard Dimitri shout at someone in Russian then the sound of the car door slamming shut and then the line went dead.

Rose

Her lip was bleeding and her body was screaming at her to make it stop. To just please make it stop. But Rose was not getting on her knees, over her dead body. They could beat her, whip her even kill her but she was not getting down on her goddamn knees for anyone, especially the two psychopaths standing in front of her. Her thighs were sore after the belt and her chest was burning with each deep breath.

Rose heard the smack before she felt it, her cheek was throbbing and her body had, had enough. It was giving up on her and she felt the darkness taking over as her body gave out and her head fell to her chest again and there was only silence.

Sweet and utter silence.

Well ?
