Chapter 21
I woke up in a strange bed, the sheets cool and unfamiliar against my skin. Panic set in when I realized I couldn’t move my hands—they were secured to the bedposts.
“What the fuck?” I muttered, yanking at the restraints. I turned my head and saw Vince standing over me, looking way too calm for my liking.
"I have a confession," he said, his voice infuriatingly calm.
I saw red. “You son of a bitch! Let me go, you psycho!” I screamed, thrashing against the restraints. “How dare you kidnap me?”
Vince untied my hands, his movements slow and deliberate. “I’m not trying to hurt you, Sybil. I just need you to listen.”
I rubbed my wrists, the skin red and raw. “Listen? To what? More of your lies? Fuck you, Vince.”
He stepped back, giving me space, and didn’t try to stop me as I swung my legs over the side of the bed. I was ready to bolt out of there. But just as I reached the door, something stopped me. I turned around, glaring at him.
“Say whatever you need to say,” I snapped, my voice dripping with venom.
Vince sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I’m sorry for everything, Sybil. I didn’t mean for it to come to this. But I love you. I’ve loved you from the moment I saw you.”
“Bullshit,” I spat. “You don’t know what love is. You just want to control me.”
He shook his head, looking desperate. “It’s not like that. I didn’t know what to do when I realized I was actually falling for you, and it terrified me. This wasn’t part of the plan.”
I turned back to the door, but when I found it locked, I froze. I wasn’t in Florida anymore. I was back at that damn estate in New York.
“What did you do? Drug me?” I hissed, my anger reaching a boiling point.
Vince’s demeanor shifted, a cold determination settling in his eyes. “You’re not going anywhere, Sybil. This is where you belong. With me. With our baby.”
I rushed to the window, thinking I could climb out, but there were bars on it. “You’ve lost your fucking mind,” I said, backing away from the window.
Vince stepped closer, his voice low and menacing. “You’re going to stay here. You will become my bride, and we will raise our child together. You have no choice.”
I looked around the room, feeling trapped and helpless. I was in deep shit, and I had no idea how to get out of it. I felt for my knife, and he noticed.
He flipped my blade through his fingers. “Looking for this?” Vince was standing between me and any chance of escape, and his eyes held a darkness that made my blood run cold.
“You’re insane,” I whispered, backing up against the wall.
“No,” he said, shaking his head. “I’m just a man who knows what he wants. And I want you, Sybil. You’re mine. And you’re not going anywhere.”
I clenched my fists, ready to fight, but it felt useless. Vince had all the power here. I was trapped, and there was no way out.
I stood there, heart pounding, and he flashed my knife. It gave me chills. That knife was my safety net, my last line of defense. Now it was in his hands.
“What the fuck are you doing, Vince?” I asked, trying to keep my voice steady.
He didn’t answer right away. Instead, he ran his fingers along the blade, his crazy stare locked with mine. “You love danger, don’t you, Sybil?” He declared, stepping too close.
I backed up until I hit the wall. “Put the knife down, Vince. This isn’t a game.”
His lips curved into a dark smile. “No, it’s not a game. But you like the thrill, don’t you?” He held the knife to my neck, the cold steel pressing against my skin. “I’ve seen it in your eyes.”
My breath hitched, torn between fear and a twisted sense of excitement. “Vince, don’t do this,” I croaked.
He pressed closer, his body trapping mine against the wall. “You drive me crazy, Sybil. I can’t get you out of my head.” He breathed in my ear. “Tell me you don’t feel it too.”
I was frozen, unable to move as he trailed the knife down my neck, over my collarbone, and between my breasts. My arousal was instant and jarring. I hated that he had this effect on me.
“Admit it,” he whispered, his lips brushing against my ear. “You love the danger. You crave it.”
“Fuck you,” I spat, my voice trembling.
He let out a low and dangerous chuckle. “You’re a dirty little whore, Sybil. And you’re all mine.”
He slid the knife down, tauntingly tracing it over my stomach. “You wanted this, didn’t you? Wanted me to take control, to dominate you. To put this baby in you.”
I couldn’t deny the thrill that shot through me, even as I hated myself for it. "Vince, please," I pleaded, completely uncertain about what I was requesting.
He shifted the blade back up to my neck, holding it there as he kissed me roughly. The kiss was demanding, filled with a need that matched my own. I hated him, but I wanted him. The conflict tore me apart.
“Tell me you’re my bride,” he demanded, his voice rough.
I couldn’t speak, couldn’t move. I was utterly vulnerable to him, and a part of me reveled in it.
“I’m yours,” I whispered, the words burning my throat and a tear escaping.
He pulled back, satisfaction gleaming in his eyes. “That’s right,” he said, his voice softening. “You’re mine, Sybil. And I’m not letting you go.”
He dropped the knife, and it clattered to the floor. His hands were on me then, tearing at my clothes, his lips claiming mine in a brutal kiss. I was lost, consumed by the fire between us. The fear, the thrill, the danger—it all blended together, leaving me helpless and wanting.
“Vince,” I moaned, my body responding to his touch despite my mind screaming for me to stop.
He pushed me onto the bed, his hands rough and demanding. “You’re going to learn, Sybil. You're going to fall in love with me."
He tore off my clothes, leaving me exposed and vulnerable. I could feel the cool air on my skin, the anticipation building. He followed, shedding his own clothes with a fevered urgency.
“Please,” I whispered, not even sure what I was asking for.
He didn’t answer. Instead, he grabbed my wrists, pinning them above my head as he positioned himself over me. “You’re mine, Sybil. And I’m going to show you exactly what that means. I’m not letting you get away this time.”
I was entirely at his mercy, and there was no going back.
The night was filled with wild, dangerous moments. Vince had taken me to the edge and back, pushing boundaries I hadn’t even known existed. Every touch, every kiss, was a mix of anger, desire, and a need to dominate me. He had proven that he owned me, body and soul.
I woke up the next morning, the bed cold and empty beside me. My body ached in the best possible way, but as I tried to stretch, reality came crashing back. Vince was gone, and the room was eerily silent. I glanced around, taking in the luxurious surroundings, but something felt off.
I tried to get out, only to find that the door was locked from the outside. Panic set in as I pounded on the door, shouting Vince’s name. “Vince! Open the door! What the fuck is going on?”
Silence.
I tried the windows next, but the bars were still there, mocking me. I was totally confused, my mind was all over the place trying to understand. Had he really left me locked up like a prisoner?
“Fuck!” I screamed, kicking the door in frustration. “Let me out of here!”
There was no answer. I felt my heart thumping in my chest as I realized the full extent of my situation. Vince had no intention of letting me go. I was trapped, nothing but a pawn.
I sank to the floor, my mind spinning. How could I have been so stupid? How had I let myself fall again? I thought about the night before, the way he had assumed control, the way he had made me feel both terrified and exhilarated. It had all been a sick way to keep me under his thumb.
Desperation clawed at me as I searched the room for anything that could help me escape. My knife was gone, taken by Vince. I had no means to defend myself, no means to fight back.
I glanced around the posh room, at the fancy bed where we had some mind-blowing sex and just felt so hopeless. I was stuck, all alone in a fancy cage with no way to get out.
As the hours ticked by, my anger grew. Vince believed he could manipulate me, believed he could confine me like some sort of prize. But he had no idea who he was dealing with. I was Psycho, a Hell on Heelz biker chick, and I wasn’t going down without a fight.
I started to formulate a plan, my mind racing with possibilities. There had to be a way out, a way to escape this nightmare. I refused to be his prisoner, refused to let him win.
But as the sun set and darkness enveloped the room, the reality of my situation settled in. I was alone, trapped, with no idea what Vince’s next move would be. The fear crept back in, mingling with my anger, leaving me on edge.
And then, just as I was about to give in to despair, I heard footsteps approaching the door. Was it Vince? Had he come back to release me, or was this just the beginning of a new level of torment?
The door creaked open, and Vince stepped inside, his expression unreadable. He looked at me, taking in my disheveled appearance and the wild look in my eyes.
“We need to talk,” he said, his voice calm and controlled.
I gave him a nasty look, my fists all balled up. “Let me out, Vince. This isn’t fucking funny.”
He shook his head, stepping closer. “No, Sybil. We have to discuss what's going to happen next. You’re not leaving. Not now, not ever. We have a wedding to prepare.”
My blood ran cold at his words, but I forced myself to stand tall, to meet his gaze with defiance. “We’ll see about that.”
Vince’s lips curled into a dangerous smile, and I knew then that this was just the beginning of a new battle. One that I wasn’t sure I could win, but one that I was damn well going to fight with everything I had.
