Writer's pov

Rose panicked as he leaned in for a kiss and placed her one free hand on xavins chest and pressed turned her face to her left pressing it on the pillow,

xavin smiled in amusement and laid down on his side of the bed again, Rose's looked at him in surprise, she was expecting him to be forceful or atleast angry,

"I told you my flowers I love you and I don't wish to hurt until and unless you make me" he said and began scrolling through hie phone.

"xavin?" she said after much thought, his heart bloomed with thousands of flowers, the way she calls his name made him want to put his world at her feet.

"yes my love?" he smiled looking at her.

"Please unchain me" she said and he sighed rubbing his face.

"it's hard enough that I have to punish you, don't make it harder on me my flower"

hard on you?

Rose was amazed at his privilged ignorance,

"I'll chain your leg so you can move around the room okay?" he said getting up to get a longer chain.

"but" she stopped when he shot her a look.

"end of discussion" his voice was stern enough to make her quiet.

she felt tears brimming in her eyes as he locked the chain around her ankle, his eyes softened and he sat infront of her.

"I can't go soft on you even though I want to"
he said caressing her head.

"You burned me with hot water yesterday and yet you keep saying you dont want to hurt me" she reminded him, he pursed his lips to suppress his smile, she was speaking to him without fear, or atleast less fear.

"this is how mafia world works, you can't redeem yourself without pain, and I am not a normal everyday Joe, you will have to learn a few things to do and don't do with me, we teach and punish through pain, it's not something unique, it happened with everyone, my father cut off my finger to punish me, I have been punished with lashes and whips for even 500 times while I was in training"

"my father never hit any of us, he us from mafia too" she said,

and he stared at her long enough to make her uncomfortable, he looked out from the window touching his canine with the tip of his tongue before he scoffed and looked at her,

"your father hid his identity from your for 18 years, and you really think that he didn't hide anything else? you are too naive for your own good little flower"

"don't act like you know everything about my father" she snapped and his eyes darkened,

"watch your tone, I won't let it go unpunished from next time hm?"

she remained silent as the look in his eyes scared her.

"And don't ever talk about him again, I won't be able to stop myself from killing him right then"

"you will regret it, my father is innocent, he can't kill his own freinds"

"ENOUGH!" he screamed she gasped as he held her neck and slammed her back on the headboard, he took a deep breath to calm himself and let go of her.

"FUCK!" he slammed the table lamp on the wall and walked out.

"What did she do all day?" Xavin asked the maid who gives Rose her meals,

"She was bored since you asked us to remove every item for entertainment or activity"

"She kept asking for her son, and she left all her meals unfinished"

"okay you can go" he said as he uncuffed his black shirt before entering the room,

he sighed as she was fast asleep on the couch,

I don't want to hurt you Rose, it kills me, but I don't have any other option, I need to tame you, I need you to follow our rules.

he caressed her red skin due to the hot water,

he didn't use any medication for the burn on his hand, how could he, his little flower was hurt because of him,

he changed into night clothes and carried her to bed, hugging her from behind he fell asleep inhaling her scent.

when he woke up Rose wasn't on the bed, he squinted his eyes as sunlight peirced the room, she was looking outside the window resting her chin on thr backrest of the couch.

"Good morning" he said to get her attention, she jumped slightly before turning back towards the window,

"Answer Rose" he said for the nth time, she never replies.

she remained silent.

"don't make me punish you"

aren't you already?

"Rose"

"I want my son, I need to hold him, my little ethan"

she said her eyes welling up and her heart aching with the big hole because it was estranged from ethan.

"Dimitri, and no" he climbed out of the bed.

"What do you want for breakfast, I'll be home all day" she remained silent,

"I warned you, you will be responsible for the consequences" he said and Rose felt dread rise up her throat.

He went out talking to someone on call and Rose went to take a shower, she was lost in thoughts and was in there till the water ran cold,

she stepped out to see that the room lacked something, she looked around to see the window covered with a panel that was nailed.

she gasped,

she had nothing else to do all day except stare out the window.

"why would you do that?" her chin quivered.

"I don't want to hit you or force you, I'll do what I can to make you obey, but don't test my limits, just because I don't want to does not mean I wont" he began walking towards the bathroom.

"oh please don't do this, I'll go crazy by myself in here, I will always reply, I'll always answer" she sobbed holding his arm and he closed his eyes trying his best to not cave.

"it depends on your behavior, I might open it again If you learn to obey"

she cried, to anyone with freedom it might not be that big of a deal but for Rose, she was all alone in a room chained to a bed, no one talked to her except xavin who was out all day, she just had that window to keep her sane.

He felt bad but It necessary, he hugged her and Rose who was touch depraved and no one else to talk to or even see gave in letting him comfort her.

3 months passed Rose never stepped foot out of the bedroom, no one came in except xavin or a maid who never talked or even raised her eyes, it began affecting Rose, she began getting sad when xavin left, and happy when sun set and the time for him to come home came closer,

he did remove the panel from the window after a month, when he was sure that she will reply,

after a month he gave her a list with book names to select, she was so happy and grateful that she jumped from her seat and hugged him,

she learned to talk to him, and when to not talk to him, when to smile, when to leave him on his own, of course she did all she had for three whole months was him.

but when he left, she cried, she fought the urge to kill herself, she struggled to cope up with the pain she felt when she missed her son,

she stopped eating at the beginning hoping it would affect him and he'll atleast let her meet him, but she underestimated xavin, he stopped giving food to her brother ethan and she had to give in, and whenever she mentioned about her son he would take away all her books, lock the window, and not come inside the bedroom for weeks, she'd go crazy those times, she began talking to herself pulling her hair and scratching herself.

she never talked about her son after that,

she cried silently after he left and before he came, but when he was with her, she was perfect in the sense he wanted her to be, he told her multiple times, he'll stop treating her like this once he is sure that she is his in all senses and has learned how to be with him,

"hey" the door opened and xavin walked in she smiled.

"How was your day?" she asked excited to know about the outside world, him telling her about his day was the only way she could be outside this room.

"You won't need to hear it, wheb you can go and see it for yourself" he said before kissing her, yes that was also a progress according to xavin that she kissed him willingly he never forced her, but he didn't knew that she never stopped him because she was scared that if she did he might take away a privilege from her and the duration of her being locked in this room increased.

"mmhmm" he moaned into the kiss.

she wad desperate to get out of the room for once just for a day and if he is happy he might even let her meet her son.

he won't touch her, he promised until she says she is ready, he thought he did right, but he didn't understand that nothing she did for him was on her will, her mind was twisted, isolation made her think that as long as he is happy nothing else matters she'll be fine as long as happy,

and today she figured out, if he is happy beyond limits, he might end this jail sentence, and she was determined to make him happy today

so.... this chapter was necessary to show how these situations affect the captivated persons thought process and decision making,

Rose does not love him or forgave him, she just is doing what is necessary to survive and also her mental health is affected so might not be taking best decisions.

have patience good times will come wait for a few more chapters

and please don't romanticize this, yes he didn't rape her but this is abuse, he played her mentally, he stripped her off if her rights and identity, please stop romantcizing this, this is not love nor should it be desired in real life or glorified in fictional world.

byeeee....
