Waking up in the room I felt a sudden dizziness again. I don't get it why I am feeling like this. The body pain is nearly gone with headache but the dizziness... It's still here lingering in my head. 
I looks beside me, finding no one. Sighing in relief as he was nowhere in the room. Gulping I got up from the bed, looking around. Now feeling a little energetic. 
I froze when the door opens and he enters. Taking on his phone. 
"Seize him." 
He barks out the command on whoever is on the call didn't seem to take a note on me. But when he cuts the call his eyes met mine. 
And I swear for a moment my breath hitched in my chest. Suddenly the oxygen in the room seems to be gone. Making me feel suffocated under his cold and calculating gaze. 
"Didn't the maid informed that I ordered you to stay on the bed and don't dare to move around?" 
"She did.. but I just wanted to stretch myself." 
"Aren't you were feeling dizzy?" 
"How did you know that?..." 
"Answer my question first." 
"Yes. I'm feeling dizzy. But... How did you know that?" 
He pauses for a moment before replying.
"I gave you the sedatives. So it is obvious that you will feel dizzy. But atleast it helped you with the body pain." 
The room went silent after he says that as I looks at him wide eyed. He sedated me. For God knows how many times. 
He chuckles before approaching me. Making me take a few steps back when he stood infront of me. 
"I only did that for your body pain. You are totally fine now. Which means. You have to go back-" 
Before he can complete his sentence, i pushed him back roughly, on the ground and ran out of the room. 
I locked the room and looks around. Thankfully the guard wasn't here that usually guards. Niccolai must have ordered him to leave. 
He bangs on the door loudly as I flinched. 
"Open the damn door or else it won't end up nice for you. I swear. You will regret it." 
He says, but I didn't bother to open the door, I took a moment to calm down my racing heart and my breath. 
I inhales deeply before taking a run towards the backside of the mansion. Knowing there will be less guards than in the front. And at this point I don't even care what am I wearing. 
The shirt rides up but I continues to run out. I approaches the door as I tries to open it. And to my dread. It was locked. And the keys were nowhere to be found. 
My goosebumps erupt as I felt a sense of dread again when the familiar cologne came into my senses. 
He's here again. Standing behind me. But I was too scared to turn and look at him. I felt his hand on my hair as I close my eyes, preventing the tears which were threatening to fall. 
I gasp when I sudden Jolt of pain crosses to the roots of my hairs as he pull them to him. Making me face him.
Our noses touch. I looks in his eyes as the tears fall. His eyes were full of rage. 
"I told you, you will regret it. Time for the punishment." 
"Niccolai... No... Please... Don't do this.."
I begs but to no avail. A painful groan left from my mouth as he drags me into the basement and in the same cell by my hair. 
He yank me on the chair roughly as I let out a gasp as he starts to tie my legs and hands again. 
"Please ...." 
"Should have thought thousand times before doing that."
"I won't do that again... I promise..." 
"Am I looking that dumb to you? To trust someone like you?" 
He says, his expressions neutral as I stops begging. I know it won't work. 
"What are you going to do?"
I asks, but he didn't responds. Instead he moves away from me. And texts someone on his phone. 
I gulps when in less than a minute his guards came in, dragging a man with them as they tied him the same way Niccolai did to me. 
I let out a shaky breath as they placed the guy's chair infront of me. With the guy beaten too much. His eyes so swollen I would have be shocked if he was able to see me. 
I looks at Niccolai. He held a big knife in this hand. 
"A traitor and a girl who tried to escape from my grasp. Hmm. You-" 
He put the knife on the man's neck, my heart starts to beat fast as I realised what he's about to do.
He will kill him... And make me see it, as a punishment and as a warning. 
I looks at the guy, too beaten up and broken to even react. But his eyes were screaming fear and his breaths were shaky. More shaky than mine as I can hear them very well. Niccolai smiles, a sadistic one. 
And in a matter of seconds the man's breaths stopped and his head dropped on the floor. 
Blood gushes out from his beheaded body as I screamed out loud. So loud that I did not even realised it. 
Blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood...
Will I ever be able to forget this scene?
----------
She fainted after screaming out loudly. Did I traumatized her for life? Perhaps. Did she deserve this much? No. But I did it anyway. Now she won't dare to ran away from my grasp ever again. 
I looks at the guy's body. I have seen too much in my life to be shocked at the body and the head of the man just lying on the floor at my feet.
Masterpiece. Atlast. I'm the artist so obviously. 
He was a traitor. And that's what a traitor deserves. 
I looks at her, her curly hairs were all over face, her lips dehydrated but still looking pink and tempting. 
I untied her from the chair and carried her in my arms and carried her to my room. I could have left her here. In this cell. To gain her consciousness back and look at the dead body and understand my warning and consequences of leaving me. But somehow. 
I can't get myself to do that. She looks too innocent for this all. And hopefully I don't regret this punishment I just gave her after she wakes her.
