Ella POV

I was shoved hard against the brick wall of the alleyway. My head hit the hard bricks, and my vision went white for a moment from the pain. I tried to push the man away, but he was much larger than me.

My heart raced with fear as I struggled to pull my arms free from his grip. When I couldn’t, I attempted to knee him in the groin, but he was standing too close. He pressed himself up against me, and a shiver of disgust ran through me at the contact.

“Get away from me!” I yelled.

The man laughed and leaned in, bringing his face close to mine. “Struggling is only going to get you hurt, princess, “he said in a rough voice. “Just cooperate, and I’ll let you go.”

“What do you want?” I demanded, glaring at him defiantly.

The man smirked at me. “Let’s start with a kiss,” he said.

Panic overtook me, and I screamed, but he put his hand over my mouth to muffle the sound. “What did I just tell you about struggling?” he asked.

My mind was racing, searching for a solution to get me out of this, but I could find none. No one knew exactly where I was right now.

Thad foolishly insisted that I no longer needed a guard. I thought that now that David and Amanda had been exposed, the danger for me had passed. But it seemed that was wrong, and now I was trapped here, unable to free myself.

The man was clearly much stronger than me, but that wouldn’t stop me from fighting back. Whatever he wanted from me, he wasn’t going to get it without a fight.

The man held my wrists and moved forward. I turned my head away and pulled my arms as hard as I could, but his grip was like steel.

Then, suddenly, the man was yanked backward. He cried out in surprise and anger, whirling around to see who was interfering with his plans. When his grip on me loosened, I yanked my arms free and scrambled away toward the mouth of the alley.
