Alexander Learns the Truth You dont even know what she really is, do you? The voice sneers from the shadows, dripping with contempt.
Alexander feels a jolt of frustration, his muscles aching as he shifts against the cold stone wall, the chains clinking as he moves.
His head throbs from the wounds hes sustained, but his mind is still sharp, still focused on Elena, despite everything.
Hes been trapped for days nowchained, bloodied, and at the mercy of Rafaels menbut theres something more nagging at him, something he cant quite put his finger on.
The words of the guard echo in his ears, taunting him.What did they mean? Whats Elenas secret? Alexander clenches his jaw, trying to ignore the taunting tone of the man who stands in front of him.
The guard leans in closer, his breath foul and warm against his skin.
I know what she is, Alexander spits back, his voice rough.
Youre the ones who dont get it.
Shes not just some toy for him to play with.
The guard laughs, a cruel sound that sends a shiver through Alexander.
You really think that, huh? You dont even know the half of it.
With that, the guard walks away, leaving Alexander alone in the dark, his mind racing with the implications of what he just heard.
He could barely think straight through the pain, but something about the guards words is gnawing at him.
Elena wasnt just another victim, was she? The sound of footsteps echoes down the hallway outside the small, damp cell.
He hears voicesthe low murmurs of Rafaels men, the conversations flowing in and out of earshot.
His heart beats faster, every part of him yearning to catch any fragment of information that might help him, might help Elena.
He strains his ears, trying to pick out anything useful.
Did you hear? a voice whispers from just beyond the door.
Rafaels got the girl right where he wants her.
Hes been waiting for this, for years.
Alexander leans forward, barely breathing, desperate for the next words.

Shes not his first, you know, the voice continues, almost gleeful.
Hes done this before, trapping women.
Breaking them.
And Elena? Shes just the latest in a long line.
His stomach sinks.Not the first? I knew she was special, another voice says, quieter, almost regretful.
But I didnt think it ran this deep.
Hes broken every one of them.
Turned them into… what? Dolls? Playthings? I dont know.
But Im telling you, Elena wont be different.
Alexanders blood runs cold.
The idea of Elena being broken, of Rafael slowly twisting her mind, eroding her willits unbearable.
He has to get out of here.
He has to find her.
But how? Hes chained to the wall, too weak to fight back.
And now? The first voice asks.
Whats he going to do with her? Nothing different, the second voice answers.
Hell keep her here, just like the others.
And when hes done with her? Hell move on.
He always does.
The words hit Alexander like a punch to the gut.Move on? Then, as if to add to the weight of his thoughts, one of the guards mutters something that sends a shiver down Alexanders spine.
Did you hear what he said? The guards voice is barely a whisper, but Alexanders heart races to catch the words.
Elena isnt just Rafaels prisoner.
Shes his obsession.
The wordobsession But it makes sense now.
All of Rafaels actions, his manipulations, the way hes held Elena captive for so longits all been leading up to this.
He doesnt just want Elena to be his; he wants toown Alexanders chest tightens, his anger rising like a tidal wave.
He cant let this happen to her.
He wont let her fall into that hell.
Not after everything shes been through, not after everything shes sacrificed.
His chains rattle as he shifts again, fighting against the confines that hold him.
Theres no way he can let Rafael get away with this.
No way he can let Elena become just another casualty in Rafaels sick game.
He can hear the voices growing quieter, the sound of footsteps retreating.
But the words keep swirling in his mind, tormenting him.Elena isnt just Rafaels prisoner.
Shes his obsession.
