CLARISSA’S POV: –
I don’t know how to react! He’s Apollo now, his personality switched? and the Apollo I knew would not talk much, my head was spinning with all these questions, I stared at him, confused, shocked and terrified all at once. These emotions were overwhelming.
“Apollo?” I heard the other guy saying, I don’t know who he was but he resembles Mr. Mathew, his hair colour and height are like Mathew.
“I see you’re in a hurry, brother?” he said with a smirk playing on his lips, gripping venom with his thick British accent, he walked towards us and stood tall in front of that guy.
I could feel the tension in the air as these two were staring at each other, no one was dropping it, Apollo’s eyes moved to me making me stop breathing and my heart began to beat faster than ever.
I gulped hard and looked away from him, I could feel him walk to me, his intoxicating smell began to hit my nose while I drew air in. He placed his fingers around my chin and lifted my face up, I stared at his electrifying blue eyes.
“Where are you taking her?” He asked and turned at the person beside Lydia, I could just look at him with the corner of my eyes as Apollo has my chin still in his hand.
“Away from you!” He said looking straight at her,
“Away from me?” he asked in a mocking tone,
“Why did you bring her here! Brother?” he asked looking at Apollo,
“Because she belongs to me!” Apollo said, his voice suddenly changed into a deep one, which would make your body shiver, he moved his eyes to me, His words made my head spin and my insides shiver.
“I know why you brought her here!” he said while he moved to me,
“Oh! You know!” He said smiling at me,
“Brother, you misunderstood everything!” he said, stepping towards Apollo,
“My men found out…” she glanced at me before adding his next words, “that there’s nothing between them!” he carefully said looking at Apollo, He raised his perfect eyebrow up looking at the guy!
“How do you know?” he asked looking at him with full of suspicious evident in his eyes,
“Cyrus, I’m not lying, there’s an only professional relationship between them!” he said looking deadpan serious. It was very difficult to notice his personality switch and how did this guy recognise it.
Cyrus stared at his face searching for any lies, I know what’s running in his head, he’s doubtful and debating whether he’s saying true or not! I glanced at the guy and saw him with a blank expression. If Cyrus lets me go, I’ll thank this man a thousand times! I thought.
I was anxious and tense as I stared at Cyrus, a smirk began forming on his lips as he slowly turned his head to me and stared down at me, “You can leave Romulus!” he said and his voice was back to normal and I could recognize Apollo now.
“Brother, she’s innocent…” he was saying but Apollo cut him off,
“One-minute brother…” he said and turned towards him, “I give you one minute to leave!” he said, glaring at that Romulus guy.
“Brother don’t do this!” Romulus said with a pleading look on his face, suddenly Apollo grabbed Lydia’s hair and dragged her towards the wall, her head was just inches away from the wall, “Apollo!” I screamed with tears rolling in my eyes, he stopped and turned towards me, I immediately walked towards the chair and sat down.
He watched me like a predator watching its prey’s every move, I sobbed uncontrollably, I don’t know what he’ll do with me now! But I can deal with it, first I must save Lydia, “Please take Lydia and leave!” I cried I didn’t turn back, I knew Apollo’s eyes would be on me and I’m not so brave to look at them again.
“Out!” he screamed and pushed Lydia away with so much force that she stumbled and was about to land on the floor but that Romulus guy caught her.
I took a deep breath as I watched Romulus taking her out of the room, “No, Please!” Lydia began shouting out loud,
“Leave her, Mr. Apollo! Please!” she began shouting, Romulus took her out and the room was back to me and him, alone.
I gulped hard as I heard him walk towards me.

LYDIA’S POV.
“Please!” I began crying and fighting to be out of this man’s hold, but he was so strong that he took me off from the ground and threw me over his shoulder.
“Leave me!” I screamed and began hitting his back but it was of no use, I was just wasting my strength but didn’t give in.
He walked us out of the tunnel and began climbing the stairs, “Let me go!” I yelled at him,
“Shut up!” he said without stopping, but I didn’t listen to me. I kept on hitting him and he ignored my hits and screams.
He walked us to the living room and put me down, immediately I turned and began to run but he was faster than me, he grabbed my arm and pulled me towards me harshly. My body hit his, I stared at his eyes while breathing hard. Our bodies were so close to each other that I could feel his body heat and his strong body odour hit my nose.
I don’t know what perfume he uses but it’s clouding my senses now, “Stop!” he said glaring at me.
I gulped hard at the intensity his eyes held, “You said…We’ll save her!” I whispered as fresh tears began filling in my eyes.
Looking at my face, His eyes softened looking at my condition, his hand slowly moved up and wiped my tears and he held my face in his hands, his touch had sparks spreading through my body.
“She’s save!” he said looking into my eyes, his words have confused me, how is she safe when that psycho was having her captive, I wanted to say but did not say it out because that psycho was his brother After All.
“What do you mean?” I asked, looking at him with confusion.
“I know my brother, if he didn’t kill her yet then he has other plans for her and I’m sure that doesn’t involve her getting hurt,” he said with a confident tone.
This has actually shocked me, “What are you saying?… we should go to the police!” I said turning around, but he held me and pulled me back to him yet again making his intoxicating smell hit my nose,
“Apollo is a lawyer; Police can’t do anything! And let me tell you, police will not take any action if there is a Villain involved,” He said, I didn’t know what to do! I must save her and bring her out of that fucking hell hole.
“Trust me, I saw how he looked at her, I’m sure he won’t hurt her,” he said, his words had somehow calmed me down but the corpse of a woman in that room flashed In Front of my eyes.
“But that corpse? Who was she? and…” My eyes widened when it hit me,
“He killed her!” I whispered, terrified and shocked!

CLARISSA’S POV.
I looked at him as he stood straight in front of me, his eyes were softened while he was looking at me. I gulped visibly not knowing what to say and how to react, my insides were shaking terribly.
He bent down to my level and tilted his head to a side while staring at me, oh! He looked very attractive when he did that, but the situation I was in made me more scared at this. He raised his hand which instantly shut my eyes and moved back, I waited for his hand to touch but it never came which made me peek at him.
He was staring at me with his hand stopped in mid-way. A small smile appeared on his lips, “I won’t hurt you!” he said looking at my eyes.
I looked at him still scared and not believing what he just said, how will I? I cannot trust a guy who has an MPD (Multiple personality disorder).
“You can trust me,” he said while placing his hand on mine and squeezing it.
I tried to stay calm but my body was shivering and terrified of him, I cannot take the scene out of mind! The way he killed her in front of me kept on flashing in my mind. But I tried to give a small smile.
“But!” he said, making my smile drop instantly, “I have a condition!” he said, looking straight into my eyes with a very serious look on his face.
“Wh.. what… Is that?” I was clearly scared of what he might say!
“You will have to move into my house!” he said making my stomach drop,
