-With Liliana-

Liliana stared at the single message that was sent to her about a week ago. It was from Alice.

'Hey Lil, I've decided that Cole and I need a getaway and have decided to go on vacation for a bit. Need to get my head clear with this pregnancy and I need to figure out my relationships with the other guys and Cole. I'll text you when I get back'

Something about that message didn't sit right with her. After all, they just had a talk about confronting Cole about his actions. Why would she take a vacation with him so suddenly? She decided to call her and see if she was okay. She dialed her number and it rang for a bit.

'Hey, this is Alice, sorry you just missed me! Shoot me a voice message and I'll call you back!'

"Ali, you've been awol for a week, call me back when you get this message, I have a bad feeling about..you know who. Please call me back. I need to know you're okay." Liliana said into the voice message and hung up.

Should she call the cops? Was this a serious case? Or was this really all just a vacation thing? She didn't know what to think. She sighed as she ran her hand through her hair. She needed to call Elise and Alexis.

She dialed Elise's number and luckily, she picked up.

"Hello?"

"El, this is serious, did Alice send you a message about a week ago?"

"Yeah, she said she was going on vacation with Cole, why?"

"Has..she ever messaged you at all throughout the week?" She asked.

"N-no..It's like she's disappeared.." Elise said as she sounded like she was about to cry.

"Do..you think we need to call the cops?" Liliana asked.

Elise was silent for a few seconds. "We might have to…After all, she's pregnant and who knows what he might be doing to her…"

Liliana swallowed hard. "I'll try messaging her again to see if she responds." She said.

"Alright. Talk to you soon."

Soon the two hung up, and Liliana shot Alice a message; 'Hey, Ali. Haven't heard from you all week. Is everything okay? Message me when you can.'

After she sent that message, not a minute went by before her phone vibrated, signaling she had a message.

'Hey, Lil! I'm fine. Sorry for making you worry. I've just been so busy relaxing that I forgot to text. I'll see you real soon!'

Liliana sighed in relief as she read the message. Alice was okay. She was just having fun….right?

XXXXXXXX

Alice had been down in Cole's basement for a while now. She had lost track of days. Cole constantly came down to check on her, to feed her and to try to talk to her. But to no avail, Alice refused to speak to him, how could she? After kidnapping her, and assaulting her, there was no way she'd want to talk to him. She even refused to look at him. There was no way she could look at him the same way she used to see him. To her, he was nothing but a monster..a monster that manipulated her into loving him.

"Are we still going to give me the silent treatment today, darling?" He asked as he sat next to her.

No response.

Cole sighed. Of course she was. Alice didn't even look at him. "You know…If you promise to behave, I can untie you and let you roam around here. But only if you promise to behave." He said as he brushed her hair aside and kissed her neck.

Alice almost perked up at the thought of finally being untied and realized she could probably manipulate him into letting her go.. She stole a glance at Cole before looking away, Cole took notice and smiled.

"Caught your attention, did I?" He mused as he continued kissing her neck.

Alice almost scoffed at that, but she realized she had to manipulate him..So she turned to him, suddenly with love struck eyes, Cole took notice of her tone shift and purred as his tail swished and curled around.

"I promise to behave." She finally spoke. Cole felt his heart flutter as he heard her sweet voice after so long.

Cole then got to work and untied her. Alice stretched and stood up as she finally felt the blood flowing in her arms and legs.

Alice, still working on manipulating him, hugged him tightly and covered his face in kisses. Cole purred loudly at this sudden affection and pinned Alice down and kissed her deeply, shoving his tongue in her mouth and groaning at the taste of her. Soon the two pulled away and Cole rubbed her head, making her 'smile'.

"This is what I like to see, darling..I like seeing you happy." He said as he kissed her again.

Alice, holding down the feeling of repulsiveness, kissed him back and smiled at him.

"If you continue to behave, I might give you more privileges around here." He said to her as he kissed her neck. Alice shivered in mock arousal, making Cole purr.

As Alice endured Cole's affections, she suddenly heard a phone vibrate like mad. Cole stopped, stood up and took out the phone from his pocket. Alice's eyes widened. It was her phone.

"H-Hey! H-How did you get that!?" She said as she attempted to snatch it, but Cole held her away.

"Ah, ah, not so fast, my love. You can't have this..not yet at least.." He said as he nonchalantly checked the messages. It was from Elise.

'Alice. This is serious. Are you okay? I heard from Liliana that you messaged but something's not sitting right with me, please let me know you're okay! Call me, or send me a pic showing you're okay! Please.'

Cole glanced at Alice. "Your sisters really love you." He said as he showed Alice the message.

Alice's heart shattered as she stared at the message. She couldn't let Elise know she was in trouble. Cole was controlling the messages and calls from her sisters. She watched in despair as Cole sent her a message.

'Hey, El! Everything's okay! I was just caught up with hanging out. I'll send you a pic in a second!'

After sending that message Cole grabbed Alice and pulled her in for a selfie. "Smile, my darling." He said as he took a picture.

Cole looked over the picture and could see Alice's distraught expression. He looked at her disapprovingly. "Now, now. You're supposed to smile when taking a picture, my love. If you don't smile, I'll have to punish you."

Alice swallowed hard at that. What sort of punishment would that be? No. She didn't want to think about that…

"Are you going to behave now, my love?" He asked her.

Alice nodded hesitantly. Cole smiled at her obedience and took another selfie with her. He looked at the photo and saw her bright smile and nodded. This was a good enough picture to send to that annoying sister of hers.

'Here ya go! We're having such a great time, I'll see you real soon!' He messaged with the picture added in the message.

After a few seconds Elise messaged back; 'Glad you're having such a good time! When you get a chance, call me!'

Cole pocketed her phone, then looked at Alice. "Are you hungry, my love? I can fetch you something." He said as he pulled her in for a tight hug. Alice didn't want to, but in order to get Cole to trust her, she snuggled into him. "No..that's alright, I'm fine." She said to him.

Cole purred and kissed her forehead. "Alright, there are still some things I need to take care of. Can you stay here for me?" He said as he used his thumbs to stroke her cheeks.

Alice nodded hesitantly. Cole noticed and his eyes went hard. "I can always tie you up, if not my love." He said to her. That was something she didn't want. She shook her head vigorously. "I-I can stay here!" She said quickly.

Cole kissed her deeply as he purred. "Good girl." He said as he pulled away. "I'll be right back." He said as he went upstairs.

Alice watched him go upstairs then looked around the basement. There had to be a way to escape while he was gone. She looked around and found a few small windows, it looked like she could fit in them if she tried. She went up to them and attempted to open one of them, but found that it was sealed shut. She sighed heavily. Of course he thought of that. She then got the idea to break it open and looked around for something to use, she couldn't find anything and sighed. Maybe she could break it with her fists?

She went over to the window and used all of her force to break the window, but instead of breaking it, she ended up busting her wrist due to how reinforced the window was.

"FUCK!" She screamed as she felt her wrist pop.

Suddenly there were thundering footsteps and she saw Cole running over to her and he grabbed her by her shoulders. "What happened!?" He demanded.

Alice swallowed hard. She couldn't say she was trying to escape, he'd probably tie her back up. Cole took notice that Alice was holding her wrist tightly and he took it and examined it.

"It seems like you bruised your wrist. How did this happen?" He asked, his eyes looking at her hard.

Alice swallowed hard. She couldn't find words to say to him. He looked around wildly, trying to see if there was anything that she would have hurt her wrist like that.

"Alice. I can't help you if you don't tell me how you got hurt." He said, growing impatient.

Alice chewed her lip. "I-I.." She couldn't speak. What was she supposed to say?

Cole stroked his thumb on her lower lip. "What did you do, my love?" He asked her softly.

"I-I tripped and fell on my wrist.." She lied as she tried keeping eye contact with him, so that she could try and convince him she was telling the truth.

Cole searched her eyes, he could see fear and desperation in her blue eyes. He put a hand on her shoulder and squeezed her tightly. "You're lying.." He growled.

Alice's eyes filled with tears. How could she convince him she wasn't lying? As Cole looked around once again, his eyes fell on the window she punched and took notice of a small dent. He looked at her, then the window, then back at Alice, then back at the window. His eyes went hard as he looked at her.

Cole grabbed her throat tightly, Alice clawed at his hand with the hand that wasn't in pain.

"C-Cole please..S-Stop!" She cried.

"I let you roam around this basement as a privilege and what do you do?! You try to escape! Why can't you see how much I love you, darling?! WHY!?" He yelled at her as he let her go.

Alice coughed as she caught her breath and fell to her knees. "I-I'm sorry.." She whimpered.

Cole watched her cry with a clenched heart, he hated hurting her, but as long as she didn't listen, he had to show her the consequences. Cole went to a nearby dresser and pulled out rope. Alice noticed and began to try to crawl away.

"W-Wait! P-Please no! W-We can talk about this! I-I don't want to be tied up a-again!" She cried as she backed up.

Cole went up to her and grabbed her tightly, he didn't care to listen to her pleas. He wanted to show her that actions have consequences.

Alice sobbed as Cole tied her up and walked away silently.

"W-WAIT PLEASE! I-I'M SORRY!" She cried out, but to no avail. He went back upstairs and locked the basement.

Alice cried as she was once again helpless and defeated.

Where were the other guys? Did they even know that she was missing…?
