I was standing on the seashore, waves touching my feet as a cool breeze touched my body. The view of the blue sky and the sound of waves were all I could see and hear. It was very peaceful. “Venessa,” called someone and I turned around to see Enzo. He was dressed in a black shirt and grey polo trousers, walking towards me he extended his hands to me. I gladly accepted it and we both walked side by side with my hands in his, my head on his shoulder.
“I love you,” He said kissing my head, I looked up at him and asked “do you really love me” He stared at me like he was memorizing every part of my face, “In my entire life I have met many people but barely had any emotion for them but with you, everything is different from the moment we’ve met you have captured my heart, my soul and it terrifies me to live without you even for a second, I love you, I love you so much, I just want to love you and be naked with you today, tomorrow and for rest of my life. Don’t leave me alone, and I can’t see myself without you, Even my shadow and my reflection reminds me of you”He said while he took my hand in his and placed it on his chest,
“This heart only beats for you, It’ll stop the moment you leave me.” He said, staring into his eyes, I stared back into his green eyes. I moved my face closer to his, and my lips claimed his. My hands reached his neck and wrapped around it, and I kissed him as my entire life depends on it. He wrapped his hands around my waist pulling me even closer to him.

I opened my eyes quickly and looked around, taking a deep breath. I sat up and looked around to see Dimitri sleeping peacefully on my sofa.
“It’s just a dream Ven no need to worry, he’s a liar and Whatever he said is bullshit,” I said to myself but deep down I was disappointed that it was a dream. I got up from my bed and slowly tiptoed to the door without making any sounds. I opened it and stepped outside; I walked to the kitchen. The lights inside the house were off, and it was dark, it was scary. While I’m walking through the corridor, I saw the study room light was on, and I walked towards it. While I’m walking closer to the room, I hear voices coming out of it, I stand outside leaning my head over the door.
“You just can’t keep her here against her will,” A feminine voice said, and I immediately recognized this voice.
“This is the only option left, she has to stay,” He said.
“Why? Why do you want her to stay here so badly Nickolai? Tell me the reason,” she asked him.
I heard him release a deep breath and replied “Because Remond requested me to kidnap her and make her stay here” Hearing this a gasp escaped from my mouth, I quickly put my palms on my mouth. I stepped back and heard a low growl coming behind me, my breath hitched and I slowly turned around to see Dimitri standing behind me.
“Please don’t bark, please don’t bark,” I requested him.
*bow*bow* He barked loudly making me jump back, I quickly turned back and saw the door of the study room opening in slow motion.
My breathing hitched when I saw angry Nikolai step outside the room, I stepped back while staring at him.
“What the hell are you doing here?” He asked, folding his hands over his chest.
“I’m thirsty, so I was going to the kitchen,” I said, glancing at Flora, who was standing behind him with a worried expression on her face.
“The kitchen is that way Venessa,” He said, pointing at the other side of the room which leads to the stairs. I glanced at it and sighed, I turned to look at him and said, “I was going downstairs and I saw the light coming out of this room. I wanted to check it, so I walked here and I heard you both talking and then Dimitri came behind me and barked at me” He glanced at the dog, Dimitri stepped towards him and rubbed his head to his leg. Nikolai bent down and said “good boy” while stroking his head.
“Come inside,” he said to me and walked inside the room. I stepped inside, followed by Flora, “I should let you both talk, Good night,” she said and walked back and closed the door behind taking Dimitri with her. I turned to see Nickolai staring at me, “Come here,” he said. I walked to him and stopped a good distance from him. “You wanted to know why I kept you here Right?” He asked, leaning his back on the desk while folding his hands over his chest.
I nodded my head as a reply.
“Remand requested me to keep you here, He said it’s best for you to be far from Enzo… for some time,” he said looking at me.
“Remand requested?” I whispered, I never thought that Remand would do this for me. I always thought he hated me; He never talked to me nor looked at me. I many times tried to sort things between us, but he never considered it as important. I gave up and ignored him.
“Yes, He asked me to let you live here until things sort out between you and Enzo, You helped me once So this is my payback for you and I know Enzo, he would never give up on things which belong to him,” He said taking a sip of his hot coffee and placing it on his desk.
He did this for me! To stay away from Enzo, He many times did this for me, but I never noticed it. Thank you Remand. But I have to fight my own battle and I will. I have to deal with Enzo, and I don’t want any one’s help in this.
“I appreciate your help and also Remand’s but I know how to deal with Lorenzo and I have college to go, my friends will be worried sick about me. I request you to please let me go, I promise I’ll deal with him,” I said.
