Escaping his clutches, Sophia made a small run out of the room and climbed down the staircase with her still wobbling legs because of the gruesome episode she
experienced.
Weeping and holding her dress in place, she came to the lounge area, she found not a single person. Everyone must have retired to their respective rooms, she thought. Even she liked it this way, she don't trust anyone, anymore. If they would have accounted here her condition, no one would have took step to rescue her. They are his friends, why would anyone go against him for a girl they barely acquainted with.
Other than Noah, Dexter himself have a yen for getting his hands on Sophia and carries ill premeditation for her. Putting on thinking cap about how her days have changed just because of one wrong commitment she made, every other man feels dangerous to her.
But she tried to be comprehensible and clear her line of thinking, first and foremost thing now is to secure herself from this place, full of tricksters, dress themselves up as one they are not.
Sprinting in her full pace, she ran in the direction of parking basement without a footwear beneath her heels pad. Coursing down the slide to parking area, she searched for a place to put herself out of sight for sometimes, but found nothing.
Peeping below the slide way from where she descended, she found a space engulfed in dirt and spider webs. Having no other choice she let out a heavy sobs filled sigh and eclipsed in there by crawling down the area.
When settled, she made a phone call to Lisa and even before she has received the call, tears started to blur her sight when her mind slithered back to the memory lane, rewinding the series of events occurred in her mind.
After two to three rings, Lisa attended the call. Sophia heard her response from the other end and as if some water has been sprinkled over the blazing fire, she instantly felt relieved, tears she had been holding to stay strong rolled down her cheeks. Sniffing she finally spoke.
"Lisa, can you please come to fetch me."
Lisa didn't verbalize for few seconds in utter shock, hearing her sobs and sniffing and only after sometime she spoke in a calm voice "Where are you?"
Lisa didn't asked for any further delineate, rather she just asked her precise location. She was aware of the fact that Sophia will be out with Noah for two days, as he is taking her to some golf club but never knew she will have to take up the face of Sophia's knight just in one night.
"At the basement of Hunston Country Park Hotel And Golf Club." Sophia told her whereabouts in between her sobs.
"Fine, be there, I'll give you a call when I reach there. Wait for me, I'll get there just in Forty to forty-five minutes."
Hanging up the call, Lisa without further ado got out of her cabin and dialled Samuel's number "Meet me outside you office. We need to go to Hunston Country Park Hotel And Golf Club."
Hearing her urgent pressing demands, Samuel frowned and climbing down from his seat, he came out of the room, he was in.
"Lisa get hold of yourself first and then tell me what have happened."
"I-I too don't know Samuel. Sophia had called me few minutes ago and have asked me to fetch her. She didn't sounded well and she was crying. I am afraid for him."
Walking towards parking area she explained everything to Samuel. Although she did acted dauntless in front of Sophia, but in reality she was afraid for Sophia to the core so that nothing wrong happens with her. While explaining everything, a lump formed in her throat.
"I was just knowledgeable of info that she will be going to that golf club with Noah. What occurred there for her to hide in the basement, I don't know."
Sighing Samuel rubbed his forehead and spoke "Fine I am reaching you, where are you?"
"I am in front of Dad's office building. Samuel please hurry up."
"Don't be frightened Lisa. I'll be there in just few minutes."
Hanging up the phone, Samuel settled himself in his car and droved to where Lisa was, waiting for him.
Sophia kept on waiting by biding her time for them, rooted to the same place, not making a single sound.
Noah on the other hand, was growling like some injured beast, one kick over his balls helped him in clearing his mind and sobered him as judge. Somehow moving himself within the bed to approach the intercom, he dialled for room service number.
"I need NSAID's and an ice pack within a minute."
"Sure sir." Came a reply in hasty manner from the other end.
Hanging up the call he laid himself down on the bed waiting for medications to reach him. As service boy reached room allotted to Sophia, he rang the bell and Noah in soreness, somehow got up off the bed and approached the door, holding walls to reinforce himself, he opened the door.
With a dark dour, he took hold of the first aid box and closed the door in service boy's face.
Getting back in the bed, he took the medicine laid himself back in the bed.
Easing up himself for about thirty to forty minutes, he felt his pain being alleviate and relaxing for few minutes he went in the direction of room's door.
Exiting out, he went for a little scrabble around, but this time as he sobered up, he was not searching her to satisfy his lust, instead in her perturbing mystery. His actions have caused her to be dressed improperly, in an unwholesome condition, moreover she don't know anyone here.
Although he was worried about her, it didn't symbolized his regret towards his actions or he didn't wanted to have her. That vary spirit was still possessing his mind.
Walking down the stairs, he entered the lounge area but found not a soul, so in his search mission he went to the lawn and then to the pool area but still was not able to track Sophia down.
Finally taking his phone out he dialled her number, but the call went through and he but got no answer. He dialled her number for few more times and when still she didn't answered he dialled Rosie's number.
Picking up, she answered when almost he thought that she won't be answering. "Noah?"
By the sound of her, Noah became sensible of the actuality that the Sophia was not with her and he had disturbed her.
Without saying anything he hanged up the call and went to the basement area to get his car, using escalator he again dialled Sophia's number which for one more time went unanswered.
Getting in, he travelled on wheels out of the main gate and just as he droved few miles away from the club, he saw Lisa and Samuel crossing his car.
Without going any further, he stationed his car in shadowiness keeping an eye on the way. Off the back of fifteen minutes or so, they drove past him, without paying heed of him camouflaging in the night blackness.
In the car, he saw Sophia perching herself in, laying like a lifeless doll, eyes fixed in vacant space. He saw her passing by and his heart thumped like crazy, looking at her condition.
Trying his best to clear his mind and not to feel guilt of his actions, he droved from the supplemental way, a short route to Sophia's home. And twiddled his thumbs, parking his car in a safe distance from where he can easily keep an eye on her building. After ten to twenty minutes, the identical car halted in front of Sophia's building and Lisa and Samuel got out of the car. Lisa unlatched the back door and after a few seconds, Sophia came out, staggering, without footwear and scraped heels, lifeless with dishevelled hairs. Overall she was in her worst condition.
When her feet wobbled more, Samuel bent down and picked Sophia in his arms, walking in the building and Lisa followed them.
Having a squint of Sophia being in someone else's arm, Noah clutched the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles turned pale because of the hard pressing. He clenched his jaw tightly causing all his veins to pop out at his temple region.

Few minutes ago the guilt and repentance he had for Sophia, turned to anger and possessiveness towards her.
Getting off car and leaning on the car, he waited, he waited for the transpire the correct time to occur when he can have some words with his beloved.
Few Hours Ago:
After hanging up Lisa's call, Sophia waited at the vary spot for her to occur and rescue her. Following that, after sometimes, her phone rang, which caused horror in her and increase her heart rate but realizing it to be call, she calmed her self looking at the screen to see who is calling her.
And when she found that it's Noah who is calling her, she again drowned in apprehensive state. But she didn't received the call, neither did she rejected it, rather put her call in silence and sat there for rings to get over.
As soon as the call went through, she put her phone in vibration and again started to wait for Lisa to make an appearance. But again her phone vibrated and for the second time she didn't gave any response.
After that her phone continued to buzz and she didn't gave any response. Suddenly she heard someone's feet thumping but didn't dared to peep because she was well aware of these pattern of heavy walks and her heart leaped and flipped, missing a beat. She put her phone on silent and placed her palm covering her mouth, so as not to make even slightest of sound and to catch his keen attentions. She tried to be as silent as she could but she was able to hear own heartbeat.
But after sometime of silence she heard car engine to roar in action and driving up the slide, it's sound faded to reach her ears.
Letting out a sigh of relief, she placed back of her head against the wall and tried best
to relax herself. Thoughts crossed her mind, at least now he is not here, in the premises
and now she will be easily able to run free from his clutches.
Only if ill-starred Sophia, knew that it's never plain sailing to break free if you have
already became obsession of a person like Noah.
After ten or fifteen minutes her phone again vibrated and this time it was Lisa who had
called her.
Picking up the call, Sophia whispered "Lisa where are you?"
"I am sliding down the basement. Where are you?"
"I am coming."
As soon as Sophia heard that Sophia had come to the establishment, as if she had
gained some power, she came out of her hiding place securing the blazer she picked up from the floor so as to prevent ugly marks that were present in her neck and chest area. Just at the moment she came out, she saw Lisa standing out of car and looking in every direction to find that one particular person.
Hearing some stir sound she turned back to find Sophia's limp figure like a lifeless frame with moisture filled eyes, creases all over her dress, red marks in every quarter of her neck and collar bone area and her hairs were messy.
Looking at her Lisa's mouth opened agape and taking long strides she approached near Sophia and hugged her for a long period of time than necessary. Separating them, she held Sophia's face but Sophia never let even a drop of her tear that were soaking her lashes to flow. She held it perfectly in her eyes, trying her best to stay strong and not to cry.
Lisa kept on looking in her friend's condition but didn't asked a single question of what happened or what occurred to cause this condition of her's.
"Let's go home." Lisa opened car's door so that Sophia can enter but Sophia stopped
her and spoke in a weak shivering voice, which once was melodious has turned hoarse because of all crying and screaming for her freedom.
"I want to go home."

"Of course we are."
Saying her part Lisa again turned back but Sophia held her hand and spoke with quiver
in her voice.
"Lisa please, I want to go back to my home." After a pause she spoke again "I don't want uncle auntie to see me in this condition. Into the bargain, I want to be alone."
Lisa kept on looking at her and her fixed gaze turned soft again when Sophia quivered with a soft voice "Please."
With a straight face she spoke again "Get in."
Without saying anything further Sophia sat in and Lisa sat in the passenger seat. They drove back to Sophia's apartment direction and throughout the way Sophia remained silent, peeking out of the window into the dark still not as shady as how her life has turned. When they reached, getting out Sophia stumbled while walking in. Samuel let out a frustrated sigh, frustrated over himself, why would he even suggest Sophia to give Noah a chance? He wished so much he can just turn the time around and would stop her from taking any further step towards her own ruination. He should have asked Sophia never to give Noah a chance. If he would have, even if there would have been even the slightest of chance and she would have agreed to him not to take things further and any of these would have not occurred.
Bending down he picked Sophia up and walked in the direction of stairs. Sophia remained silent, didn't even dared to look at the direction of Samuel. First and foremost, she didn't wanted to face him for he get to see her this phase and lastly he was her brother figure, and she was not in correct condition to be seen by him.
As they got in, Samuel headed in the direction of Sophia's bedroom and placing in her
bed he went out of the room. Lisa sat beside Sophia and held her hand before giving words to her thoughts "Sophie, sweetie, do want to talk?"
As her words hit Sophia's ear a lone tear fell from her left eye and Sophia spoke. "Lisa,
I won't be able to talk today. I am really sorry if I am acting egocentric, but-"
A big lump formed in her throat which prevented her from speaking any further and getting up Lisa hugged her.
"It's ok Sophia. Take your time. Whenever you will feel like talking just give me a call I'll be there. No matter when."
Sophia nodded her head without uttering a word.
"Stay strong my girl."
Sophia passed a shallow smiled that didn't even reached her hazel eyes and she spoke
"I'll be." Finally, Lisa and Samuel droved off and Noah who had been waiting for almost an hour now threw his cigarette that he has been smoking and crushed it beneath his shoes. After waiting for half or more hour, scanning his thumb he entered Sophia's apartment and went straight in her bedroom only to find her sleeping physique. He slumped in the chair present in the room and kept on staring at her with his penetrating gaze, finally spoke to himself in heavy husky voice dispersing in the thin air. "You refused me Sophia, you slapped me, you kicked me." After a pause remembering about something and clutching his jaw he spoke again
"But these are not your mistake. You looked at me as if you are disgusted of me, you
walked out of room even when I tried to stop you and above all you let another man carry you when rejected my touch. Why so?" Thinking for a moment he spoke again "You should have not."
Getting up he walked near her and brushed his fingers through her cheek that was stained with dried tears "I'll have you, any other way it takes me, legal or illegal, even if
I have to marry you, I'll. But now I won't let anyone other than me to even have a look at you. " Looking at her, to be specific ogling at her he again begin to loose his mind, he spoke again "You are mine, for once and always, mine to look at, to touch, to devour." Having a pause for a moment, being in a deep thoughts he smirked cunningly and spoke again "To love.."
