CLARISSA’S POV:-
“Cyrus!” I yelled trying to pull my hands out of those ropes but I couldn’t, blood drops began falling from my wrists to my dress as I continued to pull,
“Please listen to me!” I said but I could see him ignoring me completely, his complete attention was on the woman in the chair. “Are you insane!” I screamed when I noticed him closing her mouth and nose with his big palm,
“You’re Killing her!” I screamed while sobbing uncontrollably,
“She’s taking more time than estimated,” He said while moving his hands off her face, he turned around and faced me with a smirk playing on his lips,
“1” he began counting while staring right at me, hearing him I stopped sobbing and looked at her, she was breathing more shallow and her chest was raised and falling in a slow manner.
Tears were running down my cheeks while I was staring at her not knowing what to do, “2” his voice made me move my eyes towards him, I noticed pure excitement in his eyes and it shocked me to no end.
“Please, Cyrus, Leave her!” I cried and begged him,
He laughed while throwing his head back, “I’m loving your tears,” he said, all of the sudden his face features grew dark and intimidating.
The way his eyes were looking at me made me gulp hard and my insides were shaking very badly out of fear.
My heart was throbbing in fear as I stared at him, he began stepping towards me aggressively, I moved my head back as he leaned down while placing his hands over the chair, his face was just a few inches away from mine, he moved his face very close to me while I moved my head back and gasped when my head hit the back of the chair.
I moved my head away as his hot breath hit my cheek making me shiver, “You know what I like about you?” he said while his lips brushed my cheek, I gulped hard while tears rolled in my eyes. I feel disgusted,
“Please!” I whispered without looking at him,
Hearing me, he chuckled, “You don’t give up,” he said, by the corner of my eyes I noticed him moving back.

LYDIA’S POV:-
“Can you please, drive faster!” I said looking at Romulus who was driving the car, We both are now driving to Mr. Apollo’s house, After what Romulus said I immediately followed him and got in his car.
Although I didn’t understand why he said she’s in trouble, because as far as I know Mr. Apollo and Clarissa were working together, why would he say being with Apollo is dangerous? I had many questions running in mind but they were clouded by worry and tension about Clarissa.
“I’m driving faster”! I heard him say,
“No, You’re not!” I said shaking my head, he side glanced at me before increasing the speed,
I just hope she is fine! I thought to myself before turning my head and looking out of the window.

CLARISSA’S POV:-
“Please, Cyrus, let me help her!” I sobbed as I glanced at the woman who was now not breathing at all, her body fell towards the front on her lap but was hanging by her hands which were tied to the chair.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
He side glanced at me while walking towards the woman, he removed the plastic bag from her head and placed it on the table, I watched him silently as he began checking her. I held my breath as I was waiting for him to say she’s okay. He didn’t say anything, he quietly stood up and turned around, he had a proud smirk and the way his eyes were glowing in pure joy made me feel terrified of him.
“She’s dead!” He said it was his biggest achievement, My eyes moved to the dead body on the chair, I felt suffocated while I felt my head spin and black dots began appearing in front of my eyes.
All of sudden a splash of water hit my face with full force making me breathe hard, eyes were wide and mouth open, drawing air through my mouth. He grabbed my jaw and pulled my face towards his face, he was just mere inches away from my face,
“I love the way those tears roll in you pretty eyes, Love!” He said, his mouth was so close to my lips.
“I can see why Apollo likes you,” he whispered against my cheek and moved back from me, my heart was beating furiously against my ribcage, I glanced at him while shivering badly. His eyes moved to my soaked dress and hair and my shivering body, that sinful smirk made its way up to his lips again.
“I’m loving this,” he said while eyes moved back to mine, “Stay still, I need to get out of this stupid suit, I don’t know how that idiot wears this!” he said walking towards the door, leaving me alone in this room with a dead body in front of me.
My eyes moved to the dead body in front of me, tears rolled in my eyes and a loud sob escaped from me, my shoulder shaking badly as I sobbed out, “I’m so sorry,” I held my head low while I sobbed uncontrollably.
Fear and helplessness made me break my walls which kept me a strong and fearless woman, I hate being like this, Hoping someone would save me and take me away from here but I know no one can save me, as all these thoughts were running in my mind my mom’s face flashed in front of my eyes.
I stopped sobbing and looked around, I should escape from here for mom, she has no one other than me, I began saying as these words which made my confidence boost and her face flashed in front of my eyes making me release I’m not weak to cry for help, I’m strong enough to help myself and get out of this situation.
I looked around, searching for something, anything, which could help me get out of these ropes. I tried to move my hands but the pain was unbearable, I bent down and tried to remove those with my teeth.
