Scarlett's POV:

He dragged me to his bed and dropped me on it. I tried to get away but he dragged me by my wrist and pulled me towards him.

"If you try to escape from me, I'll make sure to torture him to death," he said pointing to Ashton who is lying on the floor lifeless. The sight itself is killing me to death.

"Please save him, god, I'll give away my life for Ashton. I don't want him to die for me. Please save him from this demon," I silently prayed to god crying.

"You don't have any other choice honey, you either be with me or let him die."

The thought of Ashton dying is tearing me apart. I can't let him harm my Ashton.

"Let's make it simple honey, you give up yourself to me and I'll let Ashton free from all this," he smirked looking at me. I finally quit resisting his death grip on me. I don't want anything, I just want Ashton to be safe. Even if it meant endangering my life.

He put me on the bed and started kissing my lips, I feel disgusting. He then tied my hands to the bed using thick ropes. I didn't even bother to know why he is tying me. I just let him have his way with me. All I want is Ashton's safety.

"You are so naïve, honey. How can you even think of me to stand by my word?" he smiled evilly. He then took out a knife from god knows where and began to step towards Ashton. My heart's literally out of my chest. I jumped in fear but am unable to move forward due to the ropes.

"Please don't do anything. I beg you, please please leave him. I love him please don't harm him. I'll do whatever you say but please don't harm him," I begged him kicking my legs to free myself but in vain. He moved further towards Ashton.

"Please don't harm him. Ashton, get up, please please I beg you please leave him...

"Scarlett, what happened?" someone's shaking me.

"Please let go of him, don't do anything to him," I sobbed uncontrollably while I hear someone's voice and felt someone shaking me continuously.

"Baby, get up, what happened? Get up, scar," as I opened my eyes I saw Ashton's panicked face.

"Ashton, are you okay? Are you hurt?" I grabbed his hand and looked at it and checked his head.

As soon as I saw him hale and healthy a wave of relief washed through me as I relaxed a bit.

"What happened, baby? Why are you crying, what are you talking about?" he asked worriedly. I told him sobbing, what happened as he smiled.

"Nothing happened to me, baby. Can't you see? I'm here by your side. It's just a bad dream, Scar. Forget about it. Now just go back to sleep," he said laying me on the bed and pulling me towards him as I laid my head on his chest. He kissed my forehead and fondled my hair lovingly as I dozed off to slumber.

I was woken up by something cold on my face, It feels like someone was licking my face. I rubbed away excess sleep from my eyes as I slowly opened my eyes I saw a dog licking my face continuously. I shrieked in panic and stood on the bed jumping and shouting. As I started shouting the dog which one's a husky breed ran out of the room. I'm very scared of dogs as I don't have a good experience with dogs. As it left the room I calmed myself a bit and sat on the bed.

"What happened kitten? Why are you shouting?" Ashton said entering the room with a tray containing food.

"You have a dog?" I asked a bit mad.

"Why are you mad at him idiot?" 

"He didn't tell me that he has a dog" I faked anger.

"Oh! If he'd told you, what would you have done? Probably nothing right!! Now just shut your stupid mouth"

"No, I don't have a dog. Why do you ask?"

"You don't have a dog?" I asked and he shook his head a no as my eyes widened.

Then where did that dog come from?

OMG!! Is it a ghost?

As I'm thinking hard Ashton sat beside me and placed the food on my lap and started feeding me.

"I can eat myself, Ashton," I chuckled.

"I want to," he said sheepishly. As he's feeding me he whistled with his lips formed in an 'O'. As soon as he whistled the same dog which woke me up came running into the room towards Ashton. He looked at me smirking.

"You lied Ashton," I pouted as he laughed "I'm just kidding, kitten," he said making me blush at the nickname he'd given me.

"This is Caesar, my best buddy," he said and turned to it and asked Caesar to shake hands with me.

As it's approaching me I jumped in fear and moved toward Ashton.

"I'm afraid of dogs, Ashton. Please take him away from me," I moved further close to Ashton.
