Casper finally let Linda out of the secured room, which she thought was located in some basement. Totally surprised she found it located in the middle of the house, just like any other room. The weird sense Linda had about the room had been clear for some time now; there were no windows, and that was no surprise when It stood clear where the room was located.

The small meek girl followed her like a shadow, but she was allowed to take a small stroll in the back yard of the house. Linda had no idea where the house was located, but there was a forest adjacent.

Finally one day, the girl told Linda her name was Maya. "It's actually Mayako, but everybody calls me Maya. You can't tell master Casper that I told you," she hissed worried.

"I would never do that to you, but I have to say; that is the most beautiful name I've heard in my life," Linda whispered to the girl who smiled cautious. Linda had heard that the girl had a clear French accent and wondered if there were frenchspeaking colonies in any of the islands around Hawaii. The girl Maya had that classical Hawaiian look.

"Can't you please tell me about your life?" Maya asked Linda while looking around so they wouldn't be detected.

It was so extremely painful to think about Jayden, that Linda had stopped. "I have a fiancee, his name is Jayden Sanford and he's a friend of Casper's."

Maya stopped abrupt and looked straight at Linda with confusion. "And Casper just took you?" She sounded appalled.

Linda nodded.

"I didn't think he could do such a horrid thing," she breathed and her eyes flickered towards the tinted windows where Casper certainly was watching them, while she tried to look like they didn't have any kind of conversation.

"Has he done anything like this before?" Linda breathed and Mayako gasped.

"No, never!" She couldn't even keep up appearances. "Not that I've heard."

"Laurinda!" Casper called from the door and Linda turned towards the house with the indifferent high and mighty look on her face that would reveal nothing.

"Is she refractory towards you?"

"No," Linda said with a sigh. "If she was, I would deal with that, Casper." She saw how much he wanted her to say master or sir, but now she was playing the domina-game, and she would not budge. "Was there anything you wanted, or could you leave us alone?"

With a surprised face he disappeared inside again.

"How do you dare talk to him like that?"

"He is not my Dom. I thought he was my friend, but I was wrong."

"He is not that bad," she said silently, but didn't look like she meant it.

"Are you allowed to leave?"

"Certain days I have time off."

Linda didn't say anything for a long while. "Take me to my cell, please," she said silently and walked with a heavy heart to bed. She was lying on her side, waiting for sleep to engulf her when somebody walked in. She didn't have to turn to figure out that it wasn't the quiet darkhaired girl, but Casper.

"Linda, are you sleeping?"

She thought about pretending to sleep, but ruled against it. "No," she sighed.

"I'm sorry, but I just want you to be fine, I haven't seen a smile on your face since you got here."

She sat up in an instant, anger clouding her face. "Of course I can't be glad when you're holding me here against my will," she snapped, startling even her.

"But I love you."

"You have to unleash me," she said vibrant. "You can't keep me here; this is kidnapping!" The voice turned more and more shrill. "I'm gonna turn you in to the police no matter how many years it takes," she screamed out loud.

Casper just looked at her with cold eyes.

After dinner that night her body felt like it weighed a ton and when her head started to spin, she knew he had started to keep her drugged again.

Jayden did his best to deal with his business, but the rest of his days were spent in the penthouse of his hotel, just sitting on the couch. His growing beard started to itch and the strict business-suites were hanging on the wardrobe, while he was lounging in a pair of sweats on the sofa.

The phone rang with an unlisted number and when he answered it was the police.

"What can I do for you officer?"

"The night that Miss Payne disappeared she visited a club in town, a club that you own, Mr Sanford."

"Yes, I told you that, but my friend Casper drove her home, we have established that, and he has told you that as well, haven't he?"

"Yes, but we want to know if there's some surveillance cameras that perhaps could reveal someone following her that your friend might have missed. Somebody might have followed her home."

It felt as if someone put a belt around his chest to keep him from drawing deep breath. "I'll arrange to send you a copy."

The policeofficer thanked him and they ended the call so Jayden could get his own security-guy on the line.

"But we've been through those, Mr Sanford."

"Yes, I know Klaus, just give him everything," he sighed.

"Of course. I'll get right on it."

"Thank you," he said in a weak voice that Klaus had never heard in him before. Jayden stood there with the phone in his hand after ending the call. Surely he thought that she would be found by now. Casper called now and then to keep him informed about the business, and he asked a little about how the investigation was going, but thankfully he didn't even mention her name.

Sarah kept coming back to him between jobs. As irritated he felt about her, he was still glad to have her there.

"Come on Jay, you look like a freaking jedi," she chastised him. "Get your bum of that sofa, you need a shave and a shower!"

"Piss off!"

She snickered. "What would Linda say if she saw you?" The statement slid out before she could think of the consequence, and he looked like she had punched him in the stomach. "I'm sorry!" She hurried up to him to hug him, but he just pushed her away.

"Clear off!" He literally pushed her so she fell on the floor, but he just got on his feet and left her there.

"I'm sorry, Jayden," she called after him, but he made no reaction.

With the bedroom door locked and then the bathroom door secured in the same way, he could allow himself to react. Tears streamed down his face and he bit his lips so hard to keep a pained cry to leave his mouth. As he caught the sight of himself in the mirror, he grabbed the closest thing and threw it into the mirror and watched it shatter the reflection and spread shards over the floor in a deafening crash.

He just left it, stripped and walked into the shower.

Afterwards he realised the need for a mirror when he shaved on a spot of the bathroom that was not covered in reflective pieces of glass.

"What the hell happened?" Sarah asked when he stepped out from his bedroom, dressed in jeans and a white t-shirt.

"I broke the mirror," he informed detached.

"I'm sorry Jayden..."

"Yeah..."

A painful silence spread between them and in any other situation, Jayden would know how sad she was for what she said, but now he just ignored it.

"I...I'm gonna go now," she uttered in a choked voice and left the flat with that.

After having sat on the sofa and stared into thin air for almost an hour, he flinched when the reception called.

"There is a girl to see you."

"What girl?"

"She won't say her name, but there is something about her that..." The girl from the reception sounded serious.

"Send her up."

The lift binged its arrival and Jayden stood in his opened door when the lift arrived and a petite, beautiful darkhaired girl with vary eyes stood there. "Mr Sanford?"

"Yes, I'm Jayden Sanford."

"I know where Miss Linda is."

Jayden almost took the girl by her shoulders and lifted her inside. "What do you know?" he barked, and she was a shivering mess bowing and doing her best to avoid eye contact.

"I'm sorry sir, but I wasn't allowed..."

"Where is she?!"

"In Mr Casper's house outside of London."

"Casper?" Jayden breathed, not believing what he heard. "He has a house there? I have been searching like a crazy bin to find any real estates in his name."

"Well, he wrote the house in my name."

Jayden just stopped to look at this tiny shy girl.

"I now understand how important it was for him not to be found," the girl mumbled. "But I can't idly stand by while she's withering away."

Jayden's expression changed and tears filled his eyes. "Is she okay?"

The girl was filled with so much compassion for this man before her, this Dom that radiated so much power just seconds away. "I think she needs to get out of there now, it's been almost three weeks."

"I'll do whatever it takes!"

Linda dragged her feet while walking to the bathroom and back. The feet felt like they weighed about a ton and Linda felt so incredible detached, that nothing mattered anymore. She didn't care what happened to her, she didn't care how much time had passed or how long she was supposed to stay incarserated. All she wanted was to sleep.

When she got back to the room she was currently occupying, Casper stood there looking grim. "I thought I told you to dress and get out."

She barely had strength to look at him, but definitely not to argue. She just walked past him and crawled back into bed.

"When I give you an order, you will obey," he snarled, suddenly infuriated by her lack of enthusiasm. If she wouldn't acknowledged the courtesy he had given her, he might be tempted to beat it into her. "Next time I won't be so lenient, I will spank you."

"No you won't, because Jayden will kill you."

He was a little startled by her words even if they were uttered in a tired tone, but that name didn't scare him. "Jayden believe that you left him, and he has put me in charge of finding you." Casper grinned wide.

She still had her back towards him, but he could see her breathing hitch.

"I have given you as much time as I can, tomorrow I'm gonna take you to the club, whether you're ready or not. Do you understand me?" Casper's words were icecold and so was his eyes as he delivered this news. "You are mine now, and you better get ready."

"I will never be yours," she sighed.

Casper bit his teeth hard together and decided to ignore that comment. "Your slave will dress you in an outfit I decide."

After another hours of heavy dosed sleep, Maya walked in with her usual soft steps and started to busy herself around in the room. Linda had as usually no idea if it was day or night, and she didn't care. She heard the girl tapping up a bath while Linda remained still in her bed.

After a while, the girl unfolded the duvet and took Linda's hand to get her in a seating position. Her body felt like it was filled with led, but surprised she found a new edge in the girls eyes. Quizzically she observed the girl while she put an arm around Linda's weak body and led her to the bathroom, where she stripped Linda naked and helped her into the warm comforting water. In the same procedure as so many times before, the girl washed her hair while Linda slowly relaxed, and the she continued the bathing. Perhaps this life wouldn't be so bad after all, this girl would do everything to keep her comfortable, Linda thought.

After the bath, Linda was wrapped in a luscious white towel and led to a chair, where the girl dryed her hair and put makeup on her. Linda barely recognised herself as she caught her reflection in the mirror.

She almost looked like a human again. The dark circles under her eyes were hidden, and the hollow cheeks had got a hint of colour, however artificial.

When the girls got back into the bedroom, Linda noticed the exotic looking lingerie placed on the bed and the short, revealing dress next to it. She stood frozen on the floor while the girl removed the towel and dressed her like she was some kind of life-sized Barbie doll, obedient lifting her feet for the girl to slide her panties on. Weirdly enough it almost felt sensual and Linda was wondering what kind of side effects the drugs had, that was forced into her.

Drugs could definitelly enhance arousal, and she longed for another dose.

After the lingerie was on, the girl slid the dress on Linda and then she urged her to sit on the bed while sliding a pair of thigh high stiletto boots on her. The leather caressed the naked skin on her thighs and Linda longed for the burning heat of arousal, but it never came. When she was dressed according to Casper's requests, Linda was placed on a chair, while the girl slowly braided her long curly red hair and finally placed a leatherchoke on her, which was decorated with cubic circonias and on her back, a long silver chain with a handle.

"That's a little better, you're almost pretty again." Casper grinned and took the handle from Maya's hand and led Linda like a dog on a leash.

The second that Casper's hand turned the doorhandle and opened the door, an inferno erupted. People were shouting and screaming, running around, and she felt Casper panicking. She who had been detached and didn't care, suddenly curled down on the ground with her hands covering her head, scared of what was happening.

"Back off, or I will kill the girl!" Linda heard and peeked through her eyelids to find his arm around Maya's neck in a tight hold. She thanked her lucky star that he miraculously had let her leash go.

"Let the girl go, we have snipers that will take you out immediately. Surrender and we'll do our best to get you the help you need," a voice sounded strong and firm throughout the area.

Linda couldn't believe what was happening, and while she opened her eyes more, she could see the shy girl smile and Casper slowly released his grip on her, only to be ploughed down by several men in uniforms.

Simultaneously some other men rushed over to take care of Linda and Maya. She had barely got on her feet when somebody pried her off them.

"Linn, oh Linn..."

That was the voice she had dreamed off, and she couldn't believe that she was now in his arms. Harsh guttural sobs of relief erupted from both of them.

Linda's body started to shake uncontrollably, and Jayden pulled her close to him. "It's okay now my precious. I've got you."
