Chapter 36 Antonio's Sigh

• ELENA'S POV;
• I didn't understand what came over me...after yesterday night, I got a call from Jessie. I knew it was Ray who gave my number to her. She decided to invite me to a club and honestly, I was more than stunned that she would, when it wasn't that she was oblivious to my situation. I sighed because I knew I was certainly going to have to request permission to leave this house. He hadn't let me out of this house ever since I came here unless he was leaving to somewhere. And even if I tried to sneak out, I wouldn't be able to because every part of his mansion was aggressively guarded. Nothing would dare crawl under his nose, he would notice it...and it scared me because I didn't know how sharp I was to escape from his prying eyes. I felt stuck. I didn't want to be at home all day doing nothing that would interest me. I wanted to be free, I wanted something more and I just had to agree to attend the club with Jessie even though I knew what I was signing up for.
• I got down from my bed and stepped into the corridor, before striding towards his office. I took in a deep breath with every step I took...my heart pounded with trepidation. After what happened last night, I was sort of terrified to approach him. And there I saw thinking I was strong enough to handle myself, but I was no match for Antonio no matter how much I tried. I stopped in front of his room, inhaling and exhaling...I didn't know what to expect, didn't know what to feel...why had I even come here in the first place? Wasn't it going to be useless? Would he perchance accept my request, at least just this once? I was literally stressed out from thinking too much and my head was beginning to pound. I breathed out again...then I heard them talking.
